    Global Commodities: Timing the Global Impact

    The conflict in the Middle East is approaching its one-month mark. This week, markets were forced to pair off two opposing forces: deteriorating fundamentals with anticipated shortages in Asia on one side and increased rhetoric about a potential ceasefire on the other.  For now, it is unclear which one comes first. In this episode, we discuss the timeline of oil shortages across the globe, as well as explain what is happening with gold.

    Global Commodities: What are the Markets Missing?

    The war in the Middle East is reaching its three-week mark and commodities markets show no signs of easing. On the contrary, attacks on critical energy infrastructure have ramped up, while the remaining 3% of typical Hormuz traffic has shifted into Iranian waters. Elsewhere, Asia is beginning to show signs of demand destruction amid exploding products prices. In this episode, we summarize the week’s developments and highlight what the markets are missing in gas, oil and metals.     Speakers:  Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research Greg Shearer, Head of Base and Precious Metals Strategy Otar Dgebuadze, European Natural Gas   This podcast was recorded on March 20, 2026.
