Summary
Global commodity supply chains face severe disruptions as the Strait of Hormuz sees ship transits plunge to a five-week low amid escalating U.S.-Iran military strikes, driving up spot LNG prices to $18.00 per mmBtu and shifting record volumes of U.S. supply to Asia. Simultaneously, Russia's closure of the Don-Azov Channel following Ukrainian drone strikes on 13 vessels has sparked a 4% surge in Euronext wheat, amplifying the shock of a USDA report projecting the smallest U.S. wheat harvest since 1970 at 1.536 billion bushels. In industrial metals, Western sanctions have pushed the share of Russian-origin aluminium in LME warehouses to 95%, while a wave of consolidation sweeps Australia's gold sector via a A$5.6 billion merger offer. https://www.commoditiesinstitute.com FOLLOW US @commoditiesinstitute Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/commoditiesinstitute Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/61584221970761 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@commoditiesinstitute YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@commoditiesinstitute Listen to the Podcast: Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/6eO2y40mmH5J8boeF0ANjJ Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-commodities-institute-podcast/id1826784341 Commodities Market Oil Metals News Trading Agriculture Policy Politics Energy
