Resource Geoeconomics
Commodity prices form where rigid physical constraints meet highly mobile financial flows. Inventories, marginal production cost, the weight of producing countries and long investment lead times explain why these markets stay cyclical, and why energy, metals and crops respond differently to inflation. The French pump price decomposed, a 21-year test of whether fuel prices rise faster than they fall, and commodities used as tools of statecraft provide the concrete cases.
