Commodities sit at the intersection of monetary and physical reality. Oil and gas prices flow almost directly into headline CPI, while copper and iron ore track global industrial activity ahead of official releases. Tracking each complex alongside its supply signal (EIA inventories, rig counts, seaborne cargo flows) separates genuine demand moves from inventory-cycle noise.
