OPEC+’s decision to delay a rollback of production cuts agreed last year has rekindled trader interest in the commodity with a view to a tighter supply picture in 2025. The latest news out of China could reinforce that interest, giving oil prices a chance to stage a last-minute recovery this year. OPEC+ agreed last week to postpone the start of bringing back production to the market to April 2025, with the full return to pre-agreement output levels seen no earlier than the start of 2027. The decision was prompted by stubbornly depressed prices,…

Russia's Rosneft has signed a $13 billion annual crude oil supply agreement with Indian downstream giant Reliance Industries, committing to supply 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) for 10 years. This deal constitutes 0.5% of the global oil supply and is the largest-ever commercial agreement between Russia and India. Facing Western sanctions on its oil sector, Russia is actively seeking alternative clients. India has become its largest oil importer…

Team Trump is preparing to make sweeping changes to the U.S. energy sector on day one. Boosting U.S. oil and gas drilling and accelerating permits for domestic energy infrastructure and LNG exports are expected to be top priorities for the new administration. While many of the President-elect’s energy proposals are on the wish list of the U.S. oil and gas industry, executives at top companies have already signaled that Trump’s inauguration would not launch four years of “drill, baby, drill” in the shale patch. Sweeping Changes…

The renewable revolution runs on lithium. The metal is a key component in the batteries that power electric vehicles and store energy to stabilize electric grids as the makeup of global energy mixes increasingly relies on variable energy sources like wind and solar power. But while lithium has, in many ways, become synonymous with “clean energy” extraction of the metal is associated with a heap of negative environmental impacts, not to mention sticky geopolitics.  For these overlapping reasons, researchers have been looking into…

It’s déjà vu for China’s copper smelters. But how will it affect the global price of copper? The shortfall China faced in mid-2024 following the limited availability of copper ore in June led the country to significantly increase its imports of copper scrap as an alternative raw material. In fact, in the first five months of 2024, the world’s largest refined copper producer brought in nearly 1 million tons of scrap, putting imports on track for the highest level since 2018. By using more scrap, smelters can maintain…

As Donald Trump’s return to the White House looms, so does the specter of another trade war, and Canada seems to be sharpening its economic arsenal. Rumors are swirling in Ottawa about potential export taxes on uranium, oil, and potash—the very lifeblood of American industry. It’s a chess move that some say reeks of desperation. Others may call it a cold calculation aimed squarely at a president who might just be bold enough to drag his neighbors into a tariff-fueled skirmish. Export levies would be a last resort, insiders insist,…

The mood on Ukraine at the NATO foreign affairs ministerial in Brussels on December 3-4 can be described in one word: grim. Just listen to the normally chirpy NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte: "This could be Ukraine's most difficult winter since 2022." Or Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, who told the press that the situation "is really very challenging. And I am [being] very diplomatic now." A senior NATO official, speaking anonymously because they weren't authorized to speak on the record, made clear to me what has been apparent for…
