Cientos de militares fueron evacuados urgentemente a Estados Unidos desde su base en Baréin, que alberga la Quinta Flota de la Armada de EE.UU., tras un ataque de misiles y dro...

In one sense it’s a baptism of fire – in another, hardly at all. Meg O’Neill’s arrival as the first female chief executive of BP comes, in a sense, at an auspicious moment.  Oil majors’ earnings are set for a significant windfall from the conflict in Iran, with those of BP and Shell forecast to see a combined £5bn this year – and that’s if the war is limited in timeframe. That cannot mask, though, the scale of the task facing O’Neill, who arrives from Australia’s Woodside Petroleum…

Cuba will release 2,010 prisoners as U.S. pressure on the island intensifies, with fuel shortages and economic strain mounting under tightened restrictions. The Cuban government described the move as a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture.” Those eligible for release include foreign nationals, young people, women, and inmates over 60. Officials said the decision follows a review of conduct, time served, and health conditions. The release comes as the U.S. escalates pressure on Havana. Since returning to office, President Donald Trump…

La vacuna se propone como un instrumento esencial para controlar la enfermedad, debido al elevado riesgo de progresión y a las escasas alternativas que brindan los tratamientos convencionales. El Ministerio de Salud ruso comunicó el miércoles que el primer paciente en Rusia fue trat...

As I will explain, the outcome that looks like losing may actually be the best path forward for the world’s remaining economies. The fighting today is with respect to which parts of the world will get which energy resources, and at what prices. Even before the current conflict, there was a shortage of jet fuel and diesel. The only reasonable outcome I can think of is that the US will only be able to tap its own energy resources, plus those of its nearby neighbors (Figure 1). Consequently, the economy will gradually reorganize in ways that…

For the first time in weeks, Donald Trump failed to cool oil markets, as escalating tensions with Iran crushed ceasefire hopes and reignited bullish momentum. Friday, April 03, 2026 For the first time in many weeks, US President Trump couldn’t contain a late-week price surge as escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran dulled market bears’ expectations of a ceasefire anytime soon. WTI soared this week and is on par with ICE Brent (even if they trade different months), physical benchmarks above $140 per barrel bring back memories…

Operations at the Habshan gas facilities, the biggest gas processing site in the United Arab Emirates, were suspended early on Friday following a fire that erupted after an attack, Abu Dhabi Media Office said. The Habshan onshore facilities are part of one of the world's largest gas processing plants, which is operated by Abu Dhabi's national oil company ADNOC. The five plants of the vast Habshan Complex have 14 processing trains and 6.1 bscfd capacity, according to the company. This is the second time operations at Habshan have been suspended…

President Donald Trump said the US military "hasn't even started" to destroy what is left of Iran after a month of devastating air attacks and he threatened to strike electrical power plants and more bridges in his latest warning to the regime in Tehran. "Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!," Trump wrote on Truth Social late…

A sanctioned tanker carrying Iranian crude has abruptly changed destination from a port on India's west coast to an import terminal in China, in a move suggesting that India would not be imminently importing its first crude from Iran in seven years. The crude tanker Ping Shun, which the United States sanctioned last year for dealing with Iranian crude, signaled earlier this week that it was headed to the port of Vadinar on the west coast of India. However, the latest positioning of the Ping Shun, at least according to its AIS tracker, signals it…

Politics, Geopolitics & Conflict The Sharara pipeline was hit in Libya’s southwest, and that location explains the attack. This is not territory firmly controlled by either Khalifa Haftar or Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. Haftar’s forces are anchored in the east, Dbeibah’s authority is in and around Tripoli, and the northwest. The corridor linking Sharara to Zawiya runs through the Murzuq basin, where control is fragmented. Local militias and tribal groups handle security around the National Oil Corporation infrastructure but operate…

Trump entered office promising to avoid new wars. The U.S. is now engaged in an expanding conflict with Iran that has spiralled out of control, and the administration has not clearly defined what constitutes success or how the war ends. Further eroding confidence, late on Thursday, in the middle of a war, the U.S. Defense Secretary has forced the resignation of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George and two other senior officers, Gen. David Hodne and Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., in what is now one of the most significant wartime leadership changes…

May WTI crude oil surged sharply in the holiday-shortened week ending April 3, settling at $111.54, up $11.90 or +11.94%. The move was driven by a combination of geopolitical escalation, supply disruption risks, and growing concerns about global oil infrastructure security. Traders were forced to rapidly reprice risk, with volatility spiking across the energy complex as headlines intensified into the close. War Risk and Supply Shock Drive Breakout The dominant catalyst behind this week’s rally was the rapid escalation in tensions between…

China plans to phase out some of its outdated petrochemical plants by 2029 and upgrade others, under new directives issued by the authorities on Friday. The Chinese authorities will review which facilities will be upgraded and which will be closed, using lists of outdated petrochemical plants compiled by local governments in recent months, according to documents by the central government cited by Reuters. China and its refiners and petrochemical producers have been struggling with low margins amid overcapacity and falling demand for road transportation…
