Know the industries

Gold & Mining

Refined gold bars and granules packed in casesMineral concentrate — crushed, metal-bearing ore ready for processing

Gold and mining cover the search for, extraction, and refining of metals and minerals — from gold and silver to copper and iron. Miners crush ore into concentrate, then refine it into pure metal. Prices move with inflation fears, central-bank buying, and mine supply, making this sector a barometer for the whole resource market.

Petroleum

An oil pumpjack extracting petroleum at sunset

Petroleum is crude oil pumped from underground reservoirs — the raw material behind gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and countless plastics and chemicals. Pumpjacks like this one draw oil to the surface before it is shipped to refineries. Petroleum prices respond to OPEC decisions, global demand, and geopolitical supply risks.

Oil & Gas

Workers at a colorful oil pumpjack in the field

The oil and gas industry spans exploration, drilling, production, transport, and refining. Natural gas heats homes and generates power, while refined oil products fuel transport and industry. Together they remain the backbone of the global energy system, even as renewables grow.

Forestry & Logging

A logging truck loaded with freshly cut timber on a forest road

Forestry and logging supply the timber behind lumber, paper, and packaging. Crews harvest mature trees, haul logs by truck to mills, and replant for the next rotation. The sector tracks housing construction, lumber prices, and sustainable-forestry regulation.
