US-China trade deal, Boris Johnson and USMCA win trifecta for commodities
Expect demand for oil, gas and agriculture to get a healthy boost
The landslide victory of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson along with President Trump’s victory on phase one of the U.S. China trade deal, as well as United States-Mexica-Canada agreement (USMCA) earlier this week is signaling a global move to the right and more pro-business policies which should boost demand for agriculture and oil, among other commodities.
By lifting trade barriers and leveling the economic playing field we should unleash an era of solid global economic growth and create prosperity.

Instead of being reliant just on EU trading partners the UK will be open to a new world of possibilities.
Those possibilities should extend across the globe. This will create a strong demand for oil, gas and other energy products as economic growth rises, more is needed to fuel that growth.
