China Commodity Futures Open: Crude Oil Down Over 3%, Rapeseed Meal Off 2%
AI take
The breadth of the declines matters more than any single contract: crude oil, fuel oil, LPG and coke all sit on the energy complex, while coking coal, lithium carbonate and container shipping point to industrial and freight demand. That clustering suggests a macro risk-off impulse rather than an isolated supply story. Pulp and methanol rising against the grain is the anomaly worth watching, since it implies the selling is not uniform across the board.
