Drone Strikes Hit Freight, Rio Tinto Costs Rise, and Mexico Sugar Quota Jumps
Description
Ukrainian drone strikes in the Sea of Azov damage 116 vessels, disrupting Russian agricultural exports, while severe drought on the Rhine River forces German cargo barges to operate near-empty, risking industrial shutdowns. Meanwhile, escalating military tensions in the Strait of Hormuz push oil prices higher as U.S. clean energy projects face $83 billion in delays, Shell advances its $16.4 billion acquisition of ARC Resources, and Rio Tinto battles rising diesel costs despite beating iron ore forecasts. In agriculture, Brazil projects a record 360 million metric ton grain crop, and U.S. quotas for Mexican sugar imports jump to 1.35 million short tons.
