In late 2015, the Kremlin achieved a key victory when it launched a military intervention in Syria to rescue the fast-sinking regime of then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and enshrine its role as a leading player in the Middle East. But 10 years later, Assad has been overthrown and a series of decisive events – the latest of which is an October 13 US-brokered cease-fire agreement between Israel and Gaza – are reversing that impression. “Russia has not been sidelined diplomatically in the Middle East like this since it intervened…

Oil prices recovered slightly in early Asian trade on Thursday after a steep drop that pushed WTI and Brent to five-month lows the day before. The rebound was fueled by renewed optimism over U.S. pressure on India to curb its imports of Russian crude, which could tighten arbitrage flows and compress margins for buyers. At the time of writing, West Texas Intermediate for November delivery was trading 0.91% higher at $58.80 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent December futures were up 0.89% at $62.46 per barrel. The price rise came after President Trump…

Top executives from supermajors, the U.S. shale patch, and national oil companies remain bullish about the oil market in the medium and long term, expecting growing demand and the downturn in oil prices to eventually rebalance supply and demand from the looming glut. At the Energy Intelligence Forum in London this week, the oil bosses acknowledged the bearish short-term fundamentals as supply growth outpaces the increase in demand. But they also see the market rebalancing in the medium term and supply struggling to catch up with demand in the long…

The U.S. clean energy drive has slowed down markedly in the current year,  with solar, wind and battery capacity additions on track to climb a modest 7% in 2025 from 2024 levels, the slowest clip in over a decade. The wind sector is particularly badly hit, with projections of a mere 1.8% in capacity growth in the current year, the lowest since 2010, largely due to policy headwinds by the Trump administration including the cancellation of hundreds of millions in offshore wind funding as well as freezing permitting for offshore wind projects.…

U.S. natural gas prices this week hit a two-week low on forecasts of a milder weather ahead. At $3.03 per mmBtu, natural gas was the lowest since late September—but it was significantly higher than in October 2024. Surging LNG exports may have something to do with this. The situation poses something of a dilemma for President Trump. When he came into office, Trump vowed to make energy cheap and make America energy dominant globally. In oil, this means low prices at the pump and ever-growing exports. In natural gas, the goal is identical—and…

The dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the mineral-rich Essequibo escalated after ExxonMobil made over 30 world-class discoveries, containing 11 billion barrels of crude oil, in the prolific Stabroek Block. By late 2023, Guyana was a regular target of Caracas’ bellicose saber rattling with threats of annexation and invasion, forcing the government in Georgetown to seek security assurances from Washington. While the White House’s deployment of U.S. warships off the coast of Venezuela sparked considerable consternation across Latin…

The United States is making a play to join the ranks of the world’s largest lithium suppliers. At present, the country – and the rest of the world – is highly reliant on just a few nations for lithium supplies, as well as downstream manufacturing of lithium-based products like batteries to power electric vehicles and energy storage. The element’s central role in clean energy technologies has turned it into the “white gold” of the clean energy transition, and interest in lithium supply chains is surging accordingly. …

Oil prices extended losses on Wednesday as rising OPEC+ supply and escalating U.S.-China trade tensions deepened concerns over global demand, prompting Bank of America to warn that Brent crude could drop below $50 per barrel in the months ahead. In midday trading at 1:13p.m. ET on Wednesday, WTI crude was trading at $58.55, while Brent was trading at $62.14. The pullback leaves both benchmarks down about 5-6% since the start of October, marking their lowest levels in five months and erasing much of their late-summer gains. Natural gas eased to…
