U.S Blockade Impact, China's Acid Ban, Copper Smelter Risks, and a $1.5 Trillion Power Grid
from The Commodities Institute Podcast · host The Commodities Institute
As the U.S. enforces a naval blockade on Iranian ports and ends critical oil sanctions waivers, the commodities world is feeling the heat. Host Emily Costa breaks down the ripple effects: why China’s ban on sulfuric acid exports threatens global copper production, how record-high oil prices are forcing a shift from polyester to cotton, and why Argentine truckers are bringing grain exports to a standstill. Plus, a look at the EU’s emergency plan to decouple electricity prices from volatile fossil fuels.www.commoditiesinstitute.comFOLLOW US @commoditiesinstituteInstagram - www.instagram.com/commoditiesinstituteFacebook - www.facebook.com/61584221970761TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@commoditiesinstituteYouTube - www.youtube.com/@commoditiesinstituteListen to the Podcast:Spotify Podcast - open.spotify.com/show/6eO2y40mmH5J8boeF0ANjJApple Podcast - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-commodities-institute-podcast/id1826784341Commodities Market Oil Metals News Trading Agriculture Policy Politics Energy
