## Commodities News Summary
In today’s commodities market, crude oil prices experienced a dip as traders reacted to potential tariff threats from President Trump and a surprising increase in U.S. stockpiles. This uncertainty has dampened market sentiment, contributing to fluctuations in oil prices. Meanwhile, key Asian fuel exporters ramped up jet fuel sales to Europe in July, indicating robust demand in that region.

In the precious metals sector, gold prices rebounded from a one-month low, driven by the impending tariff deadline, while U.S. copper prices faced a slump, reflecting broader concerns about economic growth and demand.

On the geopolitical front, Pakistan announced a successful tariff deal with the U.S., which Trump linked to an agreement on oil reserves, potentially impacting future trade dynamics.

In energy trade news, the value of U.S.-Canada energy trade remained relatively stable at approximately $151 billion in 2024, with a significant portion attributed to U.S. imports from Canada, primarily crude oil from the Permian Basin.

Natural gas markets showed signs of stability, with a notable decrease in price volatility over the first half of 2025. The average volatility of Henry Hub futures fell from 81% to 69%, indicating a return to more typical seasonal patterns as storage levels approached the five-year average. This trend suggests a more balanced natural gas market, following a period of extreme fluctuations.

Overall, commodities markets are navigating a complex landscape of geopolitical tensions, supply dynamics, and evolving demand patterns, leading to cautious sentiment among traders.
