May 18 Settlement Recap — Oil Rallies on Iran Discount, Soybeans Surge on China Pledge, Gold Consolidates Near $4,553

WTI rose 3.1% to ~$108.70 as the Iran/Hormuz premium held and EIA showed a 4.3 mb draw. CBOT soybeans surged ~2.8% on China's $17 billion annual ag pledge and a bullish USDA WASDE; corn followed. COMEX gold drifted -0.07% to $4,552.50 as rising 10-year yields (4.56%, 52-week high) offset safe-haven demand from Moody's U.S. downgrade. Copper stabilized near $5.90/lb after a five-session slide.
