Commodities are surging again – here’s what’s driving the move

Commodities are back centre stage – and for good reason. Oil and European gas prices have jumped sharply amid renewed tensions in the Middle East, and the CRB Commodities Index is now climbing toward highs last seen in 2008.

In this episode, AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould unpacks what’s behind the latest price moves and looks at the ripple effects for UK markets. With mining giants making up a big slice of the FTSE 100, rising commodity prices could have major implications for profit forecasts, dividends and valuations.

If you invest in UK equities – or want to understand the global forces shaping markets right now – this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
