## Resource

A sweeping look at the geopolitical shocks rocking global commodities on May 20, 2026. From China's state refiners slashing oil throughput by over one million barrels per day due to the war in Iran, to Indonesia's historic centralization of palm oil and coal exports under a single state enterprise. Plus, a double supply hit pushes Western zinc prices to a four-year high of $3,633.50, while four U.S. LNG vessels head to China following the Trump-Xi summit. 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
