China Commodity Futures Close: Crude Oil Up Over 5%, Fuel Oil Up Over 4%
AI take
The session's split is the story: energy and shipping strength alongside a broad industrial and precious-metals selloff, with silver and lithium carbonate leading declines. That divergence suggests the moves are driven by sector-specific positioning or cost-push dynamics in fuels rather than a single macro impulse, which matters for anyone reading China futures as a demand signal. Whether the energy complex holds its gains while metals stay weak is the open question.
