Maduro’s capture creating volatility in the oil market as untapped reserves to open

Copper rockets toward all-time record high

Record Gains Mark 2025: Copper posted a staggering 42% rise last year—its strongest performance since 2009—driven by expanding global demand tied to the energy market.
Shortage Forecast for 2026: Analysts predict a global refined copper deficit exceeding 100,000 tons next year, despite a 2025 surplus distorted by U.S. inventory buildup.
