OPEC+'s group of eight further unwound their #crude output cuts, adding another 411,000 bpd for July. But there are two questions to be answered, will they actually add that much #oil back, and if they do, are there buyers, given imports slipped in Asia in May. #OPEC www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Iif China’s economy is suffering under the weight of U.S. tariffs, why is #ironore, the commodity most exposed to China, performing relatively strongly from both a price and import volume perspective? It’s likely that some #steel sectors are still doing OK. #metals www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

The reasons OPEC+ put forward for further easing its #crude output curbs don’t match reality, with the market far from “healthy” with demand yet to feel the full impact of Trump’s tariff war. Visible #oil inventories are also only slightly below 5-year averages. #OPEC www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

Gold has had quite the Trump-inspired rally, but is showing signs of consolidating after easing from its record highs as investment flows steady. A new surge likely needs more bad news on the trade war, U.S. fiscal deficit and Powell’s replacement at the Fed. #gold www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

US just lost about 10% of commercial fuel/petro logistic capabilities. To an incident that has some quite glaring qualities. I don't often say BREAKING, but this qualifies.
