Commodity futures open lower: fuel oil, LU fuel oil fall over 5%, crude down over 4%

The breadth of the energy complex selloff—fuel oil and crude leading, with LPG and petrochemicals like polypropylene and pure benzene following—points to a synchronized repricing rather than an isolated contract move, which matters for anyone holding exposure across refined products and downstream chemicals. The divergence is equally telling: precious metals firming alongside a gain in container shipping rates suggests the pressure is concentrated in energy, not a blanket risk-off across commodities. Whether that split persists, or whether the crude-led weakness bleeds into metals and freight, is the open question worth tracking.
