Summary
We analyze a historic week in commodities as the UAE exits OPEC, reducing the cartel’s market share to 26%. We dive into the $10.7 billion Regis-Vault gold merger, Argentina’s 49% projected jump in mining exports, and the $100 billion struggle to repair Venezuela’s failing power grid. Plus, a look at why U.S. winter wheat ratings have hit a multi-year low while Brazil prepares for a record-breaking 181.6 million ton soybean harvest. 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
