The Commodities Trade Institute Podcast · Jun 9, 2026 · 9m

In today's episode, we analyze China's dramatic 29% drop in crude oil imports to an eight-year low and how it is ironically easing global price pressures amid the ongoing Hormuz blockade.

Plus, we unpack the recovery of Asian LNG demand, Russia's mandated cuts to June crude exports, and the European Union's aggressive new proposal to tax electricity cheaper than gas.
