Description
London Metal Exchange zinc spiked to near four-year highs of $3,703.50 per ton as visible inventories fell to two days of global demand amid concentrated holding positions by Trafigura, while Rio Tinto let its standstill with Glencore expire to focus on asset sales. In energy, United States crude oil exports fell to an eight-month low of 3.66 million barrels per day and LNG shipments stalled at 10.48 million metric tons, drawing presidential scrutiny over $4.10 retail gasoline prices while Shell divested onshore European renewables to TotalEnergies. Agricultural markets saw Chinese state traders secure 1 million tons of United States soybeans ahead of diplomatic talks despite Midwest drought pulling corn condition ratings down to 61%, while Indonesian aluminium exports surged 127% year-over-year to 105,619 metric tons.
