China Commodity Futures Close: Fuel Oil Jumps Over 6%, Polysilicon Up 2%
AI take
The session's split is the story: energy-adjacent fuel oil and industrial inputs like polysilicon and lithium carbonate firmed, while coking coal and coke sold off hard — a divergence within the same steel and energy complex rather than a uniform risk-on move. That matters for traders watching Chinese industrial demand signals, since coal weakness alongside iron ore and nickel strength suggests sector-specific positioning, not a broad macro bid. Whether the fuel oil spike holds and whether coking coal's slide deepens are the open questions.
