Global Commodities — US Session: RBOB Gasoline Slides 5.71%
MarketsFN Commodities Desk

Commodity markets enter the US session on Monday 28 September 2026 as COMEX opens and New York liquidity adds depth to price discovery. Top movers at this hour: Sugar #11 (+6.11%), RBOB Gasoline (-5.71%), Brent Crude Oil (-4.77%). Energies are declining (avg -2.69%) — the NYMEX WTI floor is now active and any intraday EIA inventory surprise, SPR news, or OPEC delegate commentary will move the market with outsized volume. Precious metals are retreating (avg -3.55%) into the second London PM fix window, with Fed speakers and US data releases the primary dollar-move catalyst.
Agricultural futures (avg +1.23%) open the CBOT afternoon pit session, where grain and soft commodity traders absorb any USDA export sales data released earlier this morning. Large managed-money positions in grains mean macro USD moves can trigger outsized technical reactions. Equity risk tone from the S&P 500 open also feeds back into risk-sensitive commodities like copper and crude oil.
All commodities below carry live pivot levels from yesterday's full OHLC, 65-bar candlestick charts with SMA20, SMA50 and Bollinger Bands, and US session forward analysis for Mon 28 Sep 2026.
