Global Commodity Market Wrap-Up
Global metals markets moved higher last week, with gold gaining 1.30%, silver advancing 1.05%, copper rising 2.06%, lead increasing 1.89%, and zinc climbing 2.57%. Precious metals remain sensitive to US dollar movements, Treasury yields, and expectations surrounding Federal Reserve interest-rate policy. Geopolitical uncertainty involving the Middle East and Russia–Ukraine continues to influence safe-haven demand, while Chinese industrial activity and supply constraints remain important drivers for base metals.
Energy and agricultural commodities recorded varied performance, with Light Sweet Crude Oil advancing 1.77%, natural gas gaining 6.14%, soybean rising 1.08%, and US Sugar No. 11 increasing 1.61%, while corn declined 3.62%. Energy markets continue to monitor Middle East tensions, Strait of Hormuz shipping conditions, and developments affecting Russian oil supplies. Agricultural prices remain influenced by harvest progress, weather conditions, export demand, and global supply expectations.
