This study investigated market efficiency across 20 major commodity assets, including crude oil, utilizing fractal analysis. Additionally, a rolling window approach was employed to capture the time-varying nature of in these markets. A Granger causality test applied assess influence oil on other commodities. Key findings revealed significant inefficiencies RBOB(Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenated Blending) Gasoline, Palladium, and Brent Crude Oil, largely driven by geopolitical risks that exacerbated supply–demand imbalances. By contrast, Copper, Kansas Wheat, Soybeans exhibited greater because their stable dynamics. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored efficiency, with short-term volatility causing price fluctuations. Geopolitical events such as Russia–Ukraine War exposed some commodities shocks, while others remained resilient. Oil key driver inefficiency. Our align Fractal Fractional (FF) concepts.
