98% of Africa’s copper export value comes from just 10 countries.
DRC alone exports $20bn, more than double Zambia, the 2nd largest exporter.
The remaining 42 copper-producing countries barely register.
⚠️This is concentration risk.
Africa holds the metal critical for electrification.
But supply chains hinge on a handful of fragile nodes.
#Copper markets don’t need a global shock.
They need a local disruption.
Where does the real risk sit: politics, infrastructure, or logistics?

Latin America in 2026 is politically split.
And that split sits right on top of energy, metals, and trade routes.
For #Trump, this isn’t ideology.
It’s leverage.
Left-leaning governments tilt toward China for financing, infrastructure, and commodity offtake.
Right-leaning governments tilt toward the U.S. for security, capital markets, and sanctions relief.
South America becomes a proxy battlefield in the U.S.–China power struggle.
Oil in #Venezuela .
Copper in Chile and Peru.
Lithium in #Argentina.
Agribusiness in #Brazil.
Control the politics.
Control the flows.
Which country is next?

China has reached a staggering $1.2 trillion trade surplus, the largest in modern economic history.
While everyone celebrates record export numbers, they're missing the real story.
China needs 10 million barrels of oil per day.
They dominate rare earth PROCESSING but still IMPORT the raw materials.
And the US just figured out how to weaponize that weakness.

Latest Important Headlines
📈 📋 Fed chair race heats up — Trump hints Hassett stays; Warsh odds jump
🔖 Market take: Rising speculation on Fed leadership shifts U.S. rate expectations. Warsh gaining odds could signal a tilt toward hawkish policy, supporting the dollar and pressuring equities. Traders should watch Fed nomination signals and front-end Treasury yields for FX volatility in USD pairs.
💵 ✅ U.S. Income Tax Revenue Surges in January — WSJ
🔖 Market take: Strong tax receipts point to resilient US fiscal inflows and may reduce near-term fiscal stress. Higher-than-expected revenue can reinforce expectations of sustained Fed tightening and USD strength; likely supportive of higher real yields and wider risk‑asset repricing.
🌐 🔖 Canada & China agree to lower tariffs on EVs and canola
🔖 Market take: Trade détente helps Canadian exporters and global supply chains for autos and agriculture. CAD could benefit modestly on improved export prospects; sentiment-positive for commodity and CAD-linked currencies. Watch trade flows and sector-specific equities for spillovers.
🏛️ 📌 Analysts unimpressed with Trump’s ‘Great Healthcare Plan’
🔖 Market take: Policy uncertainty persists — market reaction muted due to doubts on feasibility and fiscal impact. Unclear healthcare reform details raise political risk premium; monitor USD and bond markets for risk-off moves if confidence in fiscal clarity weakens.
Quick FX & Rates Watch
📌 US policy/nominations + strong revenue = USD bias; higher real yields likely.
📌 Canada-China tariff easing = mild CAD support, commodity sectors cheered.
📌 Political/policy ambiguity (healthcare) = potential risk volatility; safe-havens may trade up.

⛏️Global mining is still dominated by a handful of giants.
BHP, Rio Tinto, Vale, Glencore and Newmont.
But look closer.
China’s miners sit at the center of future supply growth, even when market caps look smaller.
Western majors control today’s balance sheets.
#China increasingly could controls tomorrow’s marginal tons. (#copper, lithium, nickel, rare earths)
This is why mining is a geopolitical asset allocation.
The next shock will come from access.
Who loses leverage first. Western miners, consuming nations, or downstream manufacturers?

💰 $1.3 BILLION PROFIT, JUST $1 MILLION TAX
Why Commodity Traders Are Winning While Majors Hesitate?
While oil majors debate sanctions, politics and capex discipline, the trading houses are already monetising the chaos.
#Mercuria just reported $1.3bn in profit for FY2025, its 4th best year ever, on $117.7bn of turnover.
🤯Taxes paid: $1m
Dividends: $1.87bn
That result tells you a lot about where power sits in today’s commodity markets.
Why Mercuria won?
• #Copper volatility was the standout driver. Mercuria moved large volumes into the US as #tariff fears distorted prices.
• The firm has quietly expanded metals exposure across Zambia, DRC and Kazakhstan, positioning itself for structural copper tightness, not just cyclical trades.
• #Energy trading stayed highly profitable as post Ukraine volatility persisted, even as headline prices cooled.
🇻🇪 Venezuela, Traders moved first
While majors debate whether Venezuela is “investable”, traders are already arbitraging flows.
#trafigura and #Vitol hold US licences to market the first 30–50 million barrels of Venezuelan crude, using #Qatar held funds and structured swaps.
Cargoes are already being offered into #India and China, alongside naphtha shipments back to #Venezuela.
💡This is classic trader advantage:
Move fast.
Stay asset-light.
Capture spreads before politics hardens.
Gunvor Group is following the same playbook, rebuilding a metals franchise after exiting in 2016, betting on EV, grid and battery demand while keeping energy optionality.
Why traders win in this cycle
They don’t need stability.
They need movement!
Venezuela restarts.
#Iran risk.
Copper deficits.
Tariff shocks.
These are not problems for trading houses.
💰They are profit engines.
Majors build assets.
Traders build advantage.
And right now, advantage is paying very well.
