On today’s episode of The Commodities Institute Podcast, we break down the massive market distortions caused by the Iran war. We analyze the IEA’s warning of a looming July “red zone” as 14 million barrels of daily oil vanish, Equinor’s alert on critical European gas shortages, and how a record-breaking quarter for U.S. energy storage is colliding with federal policy freezes. Plus, we cover shifting Indonesian nickel policies, surging Southeast Asian rice rates ahead of El Niño, and Gina Rinehart’s $250 million backing to break Chinese dominance in rare earths. 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
