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","meta_description":"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 mili…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":536,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-commodities-institute-podcast-7413714/episodes/asia-lng-hits-6-month-high-us-wheat-at-1-53b-bushels-a-5-6b-gold-merger/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-commodities-institute-podcast-7413714/asia-lng-hits-6-month-high-us-wheat-at-1-53b-bushels-a-5-6b-gold-merger.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
