Russia’s war on Ukraine—a disaster on a human level first and foremost—has upended, well, everything.

3 Copper Plays For Wall Street’s Unsung Surging Metal
Russia’s reckless (and, sadly, increasingly ruthless) invasion of Ukraine has put a spotlight squarely on the commodity markets. Many of them have already taken off to the moon.
