This week on the Investing, Markets & Money podcast we have WisdomTree’s Nitesh Shah in the studio talking about recent moves in global commodities markets. On the precious metals front, we look at the gold and silver markets, which continued to run hot in June, and also the less well-known platinum market.
The Middle East is never far from the headlines, and we catch up on action in the energy market caused by the Iran-Israel spat. Nitesh also discusses what’s happening in livestock futures and we round off with a discussion on why commodities are worth a look for smaller investors.
