INSIGHT

Copper's Price Disconnect

Copper shows a fundamental supply shortfall, yet prices have not reflected it.
The market may be influenced by narratives, demand uncertainties, and non-economic factors suppressing price signals.

INSIGHT

Political Influence in Oil Prices

Oil prices are influenced by political manipulation and large players moving prices artificially.
Supply-demand dynamics are obscured by these activities, delaying proper market reflection.
