Oil is surging on the Iran strikes. Gas costs more. Everything costs more. That pain is real. But here’s what most Americans don’t realize. Oil and gas have dozens of global suppliers. When one source gets disrupted, others fill the gap. Prices spike, then stabilize. Rare earth alloys -- especially the ones the Pentagon won't name publicly -- are different.  There is no backup supplier. There is no strategic reserve… And, because of that, one Euclid, Ohio company just became an important stock in the space. If rare earth…

The war in the Middle East that has caused an oil and gas shock will have far-reaching effects on the global economy, dragging inflation and interest rates higher, the chief executive of JP Morgan said in his annual letter to shareholders. The war continues with no end to hostilities in sight, after the U.S. president threatened Iran with “hell” if it did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz and Iran rejected a ceasefire plan presented to the two sides by Pakistan, insisting instead on a permanent peace deal. This kept oil prices high, suggesting…

After years of bleak margins and stock performance, the U.S. chemicals companies have suddenly turned bullish on the prospects of the industry. Cheap and abundant feedstock amid soaring plastics prices make U.S. chemicals producers the immediate winners in the global competition as the Iran war is constraining raw materials and capacity in other regions, which depend on Middle Eastern supply. Higher-cost Asian petrochemicals makers are announcing reductions in capacity runs as their naphtha supply is either too expensive or trapped at the Strait…

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for business for well over a month now. The effective blockage of the waterway that typically hosts the passage of at least one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas resources on the average day has sent global energy markets into a tailspin. The resounding impacts of this disruption – which is now larger than those in the 1973 and 1979 oil crises combined – are just beginning. The question is how the world will choose to deal with the fallout – will we retreat into well-worn fossil fuel supply…

The first quarter of 2026 marked a sharp shift from the broad-based strength that closed out last year. The S&P 500 finished in negative territory as investors wrestled with a new war in the Middle East, stubborn inflation, shifting interest rate expectations, and uneven earnings across major industries. But the headline decline doesn’t tell the real story. What stood out in Q1 was the extraordinary divergence beneath the surface. A handful of sectors delivered strong gains, while the broader market struggled. The gap between winners…

Oil prices pulled back on Tuesday while physical crude markets surged to record highs, with traders taking a breather even as the underlying supply crisis worsens. WTI crude was trading at $113.7, up modestly on the day, while Brent slipped to $109.2, reflecting a cooling in futures after a sharp run higher driven by panic buying in physical markets. Meanwhile, real-world crude prices hit levels not seen before. Dated Brent—used to price much of the world’s physical oil—rose above $144 per barrel, with some cargoes effectively…

A flurry of recent deals and announcements suggest significant new reserves of natural gas are contained in the Ustyurt Plateau, which spans western sections of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The prospect of a major Ustyurt find is, in turn, helping to fuel interest in building a trans-Caspian gas corridor. The UK energy giant BP is shaping up as the pivotal player in the development of Ustyurt’s potential energy riches. On April 2, a company subsidiary signed an exploration deal with the Kazakh state-run entity KazMunayGaz covering a “promising…
