Fuel oil, LPG futures close up over 6% in China; Shanghai silver falls over 5%
AI take
The split session is the story: energy-linked contracts rallying hard while precious metals sell off points to a rotation within Chinese commodities rather than a single macro signal. Fuel oil and LPG leading, with crude oil also higher, suggests the move is concentrated in the energy complex, while silver's sharper drop relative to gold hints at a risk-off shift specific to the metals complex. Whether this energy-versus-metals divergence persists across sessions, or proves to be a one-day positioning flush, is the open question worth tracking.
