While, Wheat slammed the daily upward limit for the sixth day in a row and Crude Oil rallied above $130 a barrel, reaching its highest since July 2008.

Commodities already notched up a record-breaking week through to March 4, when the entire sector racked up blistering returns.

Oil prices soared over 26% to their highest level in a decade. Aluminium hit a fresh record, Zinc topped $4,000, Palladium rallied above $3,000 and Wheat prices jumped 40% to surpass an all-time record high.

Elsewhere, European Natural Gas prices shattered all records, skyrocketing a whopping 80% – setting a record for the biggest weekly rise ever in history.
