Oil, Gold and Copper—the “Commodity Trinity”—are of particular interest to the financial markets given their importance to the global economy. Oil is a $3 trillion physical commodity market that influences geopolitics, inflation, currencies, and even bonds and equities. Gold is often viewed as a safe haven amid heightened concern over other asset classes. And copper plays a critical role in power transmission, infrastructure growth, and other major applications. But what are the underlying dynamics driving each of these markets today? Join Citi’s Elise Badoy, Head of Europe, UK, Middle East and Africa Research, and Max Layton, Head of Commodities Research, as they address this question and touch on how Max’s team approaches their analyses.

In every country in the world, populations are getting older, but what does that mean for how we live?
