## Resource

Russian wheat export prices surged seven dollars to two hundred forty-one dollars per ton following Black Sea shipping halts, while Red Sea blockade threats pushed crude toward eighty-nine dollars a barrel despite U.S.-guided transit attempts in the Strait of Hormuz. Simultaneously, Chinese lithium futures dropped over four percent to five-month lows on long-term oversupply fears, Brazilian beef exports fell ten percent after exceeding China’s tariff-free quotas, and new U.S. aluminum tariff incentives aim to boost domestic smelting capacity. 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
