How Global Oil Trade Could Be Impacted by Attacks on Iran

Following coordinated military strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran, fears of a significant disruption to Middle Eastern oil supplies have heightened, with some arguing that extreme outcomes may push the global economy into recession. Iran, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries since its inception more than six decades ago, ranks as the 4th biggest producer of oil globally. At the start of this year, the Middle-Eastern country was producing slightly above 3 million barrels of oil per day. For years, energy markets have largely discounted the possibility of a serious supply interruption in the region. However, former White House energy adviser and current head of Rapidan Energy Bob McNally, warns that traders may be underestimating the…

Stronger Dollar, Profit-Taking Cause Gold to Retreat

Earlier this week, gold saw its price drop from a three-week peak as investors booked profits and a slightly stronger U.S. dollar weighed on prices. This comes as market participants continue to wait for clearer direction on America’s tariff policy and the outcome of upcoming discussions between Iran and the United States in Geneva. U.S. gold futures for April delivery closed at $5,176.30, which is about 0.9% lower, while spot gold saw its price drop to $5,158.24 an ounce, which represents a 1.4% drop. Gold wasn’t the only metal to see declines in its prices either. Spot silver also slid to $87.21 an ounce, which represents a more than 1% drop and came after it…

Geopolitical Risks, Trade Uncertainty Help Gold Rally

The start of this week saw gold surge to its highest level in three weeks, supported by rising geopolitical strain between Iran and the United States and renewed uncertainty surrounding American trade policy, both of which strengthened demand for safe-haven assets. This comes after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to use the IEEPA as a basis for implementing broad reciprocal tariffs late last week. In response, the White House turned to Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, introducing a temporary across-the-board import tariff of 10%. This figure was later increased to 15%. The tariff came into effect on February 24 and may be enforced for up to 150 days, without requiring congressional authorization. As expected, this development has reignited concerns over global trade stability and…

Copper Prices are Poised to Surge the Way Silver Has

The increasing prices of silver are prompting manufacturers to look for substitute materials, with copper standing out as a viable alternative, especially as demand accelerates from clean energy, artificial intelligence, and defense industries. At the same time, supply chain disruptions, increased U.S. import activity, and expectations of global supply deficits are placing additional strain on the market. Analysts anticipate that these pressures will keep prices elevated through 2026. Given that silver prices remain elevated, investors, traders, and major industrial consumers are increasingly searching for more cost-effective options that offer similar value and efficiency. In this context, copper has gained renewed attention, with industry leaders and analysts suggesting it may serve as a practical substitute for silver in several industrial applications. A…
