Exxon Mobil (XOM) is one of the most explosive stocks of 2022. In fact, since the new year began, the oil stock ran from a low of about $60 up to around $70—all thanks to tight oil supply, heavy demand, geopolitical tension, and earnings and buyback news.

One heavily traded commodity stock last week was Freeport-McMoran (FCX), which is one the largest copper producers in the world. Options trading in FCX was unusually heavy on a day last week, […]
