In this in-depth commodity market interview, I sat down with Trader Ferg to break down the biggest trends shaping global energy and commodities in 2026. They explore the ongoing energy crisis, the surprising resurgence of coal, and how LNG supply disruptions are reshaping global markets, especially across Asia and Europe. The discussion dives into uranium and nuclear energy outlooks, gold and precious metals positioning, and why fertilizer shortages could trigger the next wave of food inflation. Ferg also shares insights on commodity trading strategies, volatility, and overlooked opportunities in sectors like PGMs and agriculture. This interview is essential viewing for investors and traders looking to understand macro trends, energy security risks, and the next potential commodity supercycle.
