I was recently fueling up my wife's car in Tempe, Arizona when I noticed something I hadn't seen in a while: an "I did that!" sticker pointed at the price on the pump. Those stickers were everywhere during the gas price spike under President Biden. Now they're back — with the same message, but a different president. It’s true that fuel prices have spiked under both administrations. But the reality is more complicated than a sticker on a pump suggests. To understand what really happened, you have to look at the underlying market forces…

Economists polled by Bloomberg predicted that the consumer price index (CPI) inflation print would come in at 3.3 per cent, compared to three per cent for February. The acceleration in price growth could dampen hopes of improved stability, posing a challenge…

Kazakh officials are working with international development banks and the UN Development Programme to address a burgeoning water shortage that threatens to throttle economic growth. Regional analysts say the water deficit, combined with the need to rapidly boost power-generation capacity, are two of Kazakhstan’s most formidable obstacles to achieving President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s modernization agenda. “The shortage of the resource has moved into the category of severe macroeconomic challenges, comparable in importance to access…

This week brings with it the 22 April deadline marking the end of the two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The on-again/off-again/on-again closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Tehran, and Washington’s naval blockade specifically on Iranian ports, can broadly be seen as part of the ongoing negotiations for peace that began on 8 April, with the mood surrounding the talks having swung as wildly on both sides as the state of the blockades. Even before the recent spate of hostilities, mediating Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi declared…

Kuwait has declared force majeure on shipments of crude oil and refined products after disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz prevented some vessels from entering the Persian Gulf. The move comes as tensions in the Strait escalated again following the U.S. seizure of an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel in the waterway.

The measure is not expected…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized an easing of sanctions on Russian energy, writing on X that "every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war." His statement on April 19 comes after the United States prolonged its Russian oil waiver earlier in the week with figures showing that Moscow nearly doubled its oil revenue in March amid soaring energy prices as Iran continues to disrupt shipping on the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Zelenskyy claimed that more than 110 tankers from Russia’s shadow fleet are currently at sea,…
