The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is due to be released on Wednesday, with economists predicting that key inflation metrics continued to moderate in September despite elevated oil prices, giving the Fed room to slow down on interest rate hikes. For September, economists expect headline inflation growth to clock in at 0.5% month-over-month and 3.6%- 3.7% year-over-year, up from 0.4% m-o-m and 3.4% Y/Y in August.  Meanwhile, core CPI, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, is seen climbing 0.2% in September, down from August’s…

The Middle East crisis has driven tanker rates to all-time highs and created a shortage of vessels. This oil logistics problem is now causing a ripple effect, tipping the heavy crude market in North and South America into oversupply—while Asia and Europe grapple with a shortage of heavy grades. Canada is producing over 5 million barrels of crude daily, most of it heavy crude. Some 4 million barrels daily of that goes south to U.S. refineries. Venezuelan production has also moved higher after the U.S. disposed of the country’s government…

The LNG supply out of the Middle East has not recovered in any meaningful way seven and a half months after the Iran war choked oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Since March, some occasional LNG cargoes have managed to squeeze through the chokepoint where a fifth of global liquefied Natural Gas supplies passed before the war. The rare shipments are not making much of a difference in the global gas market, which suddenly found itself without a fifth of daily LNG supplies and whose second-largest producer, Qatar, is now barely moving…

OPEC just put a very large number on next year’s oil market: global demand growth of 2.6 million barrels per day in 2027, after growth of just 200,000 bpd this year. That would push average world oil demand from 105.7 million bpd in 2026 to 108.3 million bpd next year. OPEC also revised its 2027 demand forecast higher this month, even as it nudged this year’s growth estimate lower. Part of that jump has little to do with people suddenly driving a lot more. OPEC expects inventory rebuilding to contribute to next year’s demand as…

Permian producers spent much of this year paying buyers to haul away the natural gas that comes up with their oil. Waha Hub spot prices stayed below zero for a record 90 days in a row before turning positive on June 16, Reuters reported, and the hub had averaged minus $2.19 per million British thermal units for the year up to that point. Four of the five companies below still posted record results in the second quarter. Three of the five don’t drill at all, and one of the two that do works mostly in North Dakota, far from Waha. The U.S. Energy…

A new model for nuclear fusion has potentially discovered a significantly more energy-efficient way to achieve nuclear fusion, and flipped everything we thought we knew about the fusion process. The scientists’ modelling also flips the traditional order of operations for managing and sustaining plasma in a controlled fusion experiment. Traditionally, fusion processes start by compressing plasma for higher density, and then heating it to superhot temperatures. However, new modelling from the United States Department of Energy’s Princeton…

Guyana, one of the world's newest oil exporters, is poised to surpass one million barrels per day in crude oil exports for the first time this December, marking another extraordinary milestone for the small South American country. According to Bloomberg, December's preliminary loading schedule includes 33 million barrels of crude exports, equivalent to approximately 1.06 million bpd. The first shipment of the country's new Uaru crude grade is scheduled for December 11–12, with total Uaru exports expected to reach four million barrels during…
