China Commodity Futures Close: Crude Oil Up Nearly 7%, Fuel Oil 6%
The breadth of gains across the energy complex — crude, fuel oil, asphalt, LPG — points to a supply-side or geopolitical impulse rather than a demand story, since industrial metals and battery materials moved the other way. That divergence matters for RWA and commodity-linked products: energy exposure is being repriced while the electrification trade softens. The open question is whether this energy-led move holds or fades, and whether the lithium carbonate weakness signals a broader shift in the materials complex.
