IIR Weekly Market Scorecard

When Diesel Sets Strategy over Geo-Politics, Geo-Economics... Crude slid to an 11-day low beneath $100 (WTI), NatGas (HH) held its $2.75--$3.00 range, equities rose, and gold eased. The commodity markets tape exhaled.

Ask what it exhaled on. Partial Saudi export recovery and heavier transit flows -- physical, verifiable. And a meeting at the UN that has not yet happened. Hope, though, is not what drives the operations of a global commodities supply chain. Nor wishful thinking.

Such as Washington repeatedly urging Kyiv to stop striking Russian refineries, to curb surging global diesel prices. Have you considered the reversal sitting inside that sentence? Energy prices used to be an output of war strategy. They have become an input to it.

Elsewhere, a federal judge voided New York's $75 billion climate superfund on preemption grounds as a Super El Nino looms while Washington and Beijing continue to "kick shins" beneath their negotiation tables being set up this week.

Seven months into this Middle East Conflict and the question is no longer where equity and commodity market prices go; but whether world leaders -- meeting at the UN General Assembly this week -- can hammer out effective agreements as global diesel markets pricing shocks drive decisions across industries.
