At Any Rate

The war in the Middle East is reaching its three-week mark and commodities markets show no signs of easing. On the contrary, attacks on critical energy infrastructure have ramped up, while the remaining 3% of typical Hormuz traffic has shifted into Iranian waters. Elsewhere, Asia is beginning to show signs of demand destruction amid exploding products prices. In this episode, we summarize the week’s developments and highlight what the markets are missing in gas, oil and metals.  

 

Speakers: 

Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research
