Like oil, natural gas is also far outpacing other commodities. Copper prices are about 8% below a May record, while rallies in some other materials such as zinc and lead have largely stalled.Some industrial metals have fallen due to fears of softening growth in China, the world’s biggest commodities consumer and largest oil importer. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/evergrande-china-crisis-11632330764?mod=article_inline" target="_blank">Economic fallout</a> from the impending collapse of indebted property developer China Evergrande Group could magnify the slowdown caused by the Delta variant of the coronavirus, traders say. That is because the Chinese economy is heavily reliant on real-estate developers for growth and jobs.Crude’s persistent rise in the face of those growth concerns shows the extent to which many traders expect weak supply to buoy prices, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/energy-price-surge-leads-u-k-government-to-consider-steps-to-soften-impact-11632158169?mod=article_inline" target="_blank">lifting fuel costs</a> for consumers and businesses. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-gas-shortage-stings-u-k-showing-shortcomings-in-its-energy-transition-11633005732?mod=article_inline" target="_blank">Energy supply shortages</a> are slowing factory activity <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-power-shortfalls-begin-to-ripple-around-the-world-11633101100?mod=article_inline" target="_blank">around the world</a> and contributing to a recent pickup in inflation.
