September WTI crude oil futures were trading at $92.31 late Thursday, up $10.54 or 12.89% for the week. The contract posted a weekly low at $79.58 before climbing to a weekly high at $92.31. This was not a normal risk-premium rally. WTI started the week with the Strait of Hormuz already impaired, then gained speed as the market realized Saudi Arabia’s alternate export route through the Red Sea was also under threat. By Thursday, traders were no longer pricing one damaged chokepoint. They were pricing a supply system with fewer ways to move…

Politics, Geopolitics & Conflict Iran has spent the week attacking the military infrastructure that allows the U.S. to wage war across the Middle East.

Iranian attacks have now killed U.S. personnel…

As an energy investor, I am sure you are aware of the expected impact of the AI boom. The servers that AI platforms require demand enormous amounts of power. That, along with expected demand increases from the continued growth of EVs, has made companies with electricity generation power some of the trendiest stocks over the last couple of years. However, those producers can only meet the increased demand if there is significant investment in the infrastructure of electricity generation and transfer, so what about stocks in that industry? Well,…

Trump likes to test big ideas in real time, and very publicly. Earlier this week, Washington was prepared to surrender one of its most valuable bargaining chips with Saudi Arabia, without the conditions one would expect from American foreign policy.  For years, successive U.S. administrations treated domestic uranium enrichment as the one concession Riyadh could not have without paying a strategic price. Most recently, that cost was normalization with Israel. Two days ago, Trump was willing to simply give that leverage away for free as he…

Chinese refiners have bought up all crude oil cargoes set to load from Russia’s Far East port of Kozmino in August weeks earlier than usual, traders with knowledge of the market told Bloomberg on Friday, as risks to Middle Eastern supply spiked this week with attacks on tankers in the Red Sea. China has been snapping up the cargoes at a faster pace, which raised the price of the Russian Far Eastern crude blend ESPO to a discount of just $1 per barrel to the price of ICE Brent, up from a discount of between $3 and $4 per barrel two weeks ago,…

Lithium prices on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX), the most active lithium carbonate contract, fell to 136,800 yuan ($20,210) per tonne on Wednesday, nearly 30% below their multi-year highs reached in mid-May.

The problem is that quotas have been rising…
