A couple of weeks ago, we reported that traders had ramped up bearish bets on oil prices, with traders pouring nearly $1 billion into the ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (SCO), a leveraged bet on falling prices following war-driven highs. This massive buildup in bearish sentiment came shortly before U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 2-week ceasefire on April 7, which sent oil prices plunging nearly $20 per barrel from recent highs. And now fresh reports have emerged that something far more sinister could be lurking in financial…

China looks to further boost its footprint in neighboring Asian markets as the energy crisis is straining fuel supply to Southeast Asia. As the region became the first victim of the fuel crunch due to the Middle East war, Cambodia broke ground on its first gigawatt-scale hydropower project to boost its renewable energy output and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. The start of construction at the Upper Tatay pumped storage hydropower BOT project could not be timelier as the Iran war is reducing fuel supplies to Cambodia and other Southeast…

The oil market is heading into unknown spaces. To paraphrase Starship Enterprise, “Oil markets ('Space' the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before”. As we can now see, there is a moment in every crisis when the language of markets, which is normally based on price discovery, marginal barrels, and supply-demand balance, quietly but dangerously stops making sense. For the oil…

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…

Inflation is expected to jump to 3.3 per cent as the first effects of the war in Iran will be recorded in a new set of data. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is expected to reveal that inflation inched up in the year to March due to soaring fuel prices and tremors across financial markets. 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…
