India eyes further oil exploration after Iran war shortages

Hit by the biggest energy supply shock in decades during the Middle East war, import-dependent India is expanding domestic crude exploration, its oil minister says. India, the world’s third-largest importer of oil and the second-largest buyer of liquefied petroleum gas, faced major disruptions due to restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict between the United States and Iran. With a temporary US-Iran deal in place to pause hostilities, oil and gas shipments are flowing through...

Nearly 60% of Hong Kong parents mistake deadly disease for a cold, survey finds

Nearly 60 per cent of Hong Kong parents mistakenly believe that invasive meningococcal disease is no different from a common cold, a survey has found, prompting doctors to urge greater public awareness of the potentially fatal infection ahead of the summer travel season. The warning follows a survey by the Hong Kong Early Childhood Educators Association of 300 parents and teachers. Parents scored an average of 3.84 out of 10 on their knowledge of the disease, compared with 4.8 for teachers. The.

What is a good asset to invest if you believe a market correction is coming?

I strongly believe some sort of market correction will be happening between now and 2030, most probably triggered by the AI bubble popping, but the world geopolitics (and US politics where the largest chunk of the market depends on) are so unstable that it feels we are each day walking a tighter rope. I also received a bonus from work that I could put somewhere. But if I just do "WEBN and forget", or even if I dig into other ETFs, they will give about, idk, 5 to 10% that would get erased on a 50

‘China shock 3.0’ is coming. And it’ll be AI-powered robots

The world’s attention is fixed on frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models, but China’s robot-making factories deserve just as much attention. Chinese e-commerce company JD.com has predicted that robots would ultimately replace its 700,000 delivery workers, while workers at South Korean carmaker Hyundai are threatening strike action over issues including the roll-out of robots. These are early signs of what could be China’s next export shock. The first “China shock” was from its low-cost...

Vance hopes Burnham delivers ‘structural change’ amid ‘broken’ UK politics

Minefields, stalled talks keep Strait of Hormuz in strategic limbo

The future of energy exports through the Strait of Hormuz hangs in the balance after negotiations between Iran and the United States in Doha this week ended without an agreement on releasing frozen funds to the Islamic Republic. With Tehran also failing to begin demining the strait, and still threatening to attack ships attempting to leave the Gulf without its permission, neither side has yet met the two key obligations under their June 17 memorandum of understanding (MOU) to freeze the conflict

South Korea’s World Cup loss spurs anger over ‘cartel’ of elites, favouritism

When South Korea’s national football team returned home on Tuesday after their shock group-stage exit from the 2026 World Cup tournament, the fury of fans was not targeted at captain Son Heung-min or other players. It was aimed at head coach Hong Myung-bo, who announced his resignation during a press conference in Guadalajara, Mexico – the tournament’s co-host – on June 28. South Korea lost 1-0 to Mexico and South Africa after opening their World Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over the Czech...

Those on the Mall were encouraged to go to federal buildings nearby or Smithsonian museums. “Freedom 250 will share updates on programming and doors reopening,” Freedom 250 spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.

Dip in U.S. LNG Imports to EU Spells Trouble for Trade Deal

For two years, the European Union has been the biggest regional buyer of U.S. liquefied natural gas. Sanctions on Russia, including a ban on LNG purchased from 2027, have prompted the pivot, actively encouraged by the second Trump administration. But last month, Europe shunned American liquefied gas because it was too expensive. This will be a problem for the trade deal that just went into effect. Last July, President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed a t

The largest data center project ever proposed in the U.S. is officially dead. Blackstone-owned QTS Realty Trust withdrew its appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court on July 2, closing out a three-year legal fight over the Prince William Digital Gateway, a planned 2,100-acre campus in Prince William County, Virginia that would have packed 37 buildings and 22 million square feet of data centers next to Manassas National Battlefield Park.

Asia Bets on Biofuels to Dodge Middle East Oil Shortages

Interest in developing biofuels has fluctuated and has been strongly driven by global energy trends. In 2024, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the international call for a green transition, and the increased focus on developing cleaner fuels to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries, interest in biofuels grew. Biofuels were expected to play a major role in the global green transition by helping to decarbonise industries that could not simply shift to renewable electricity, such as aviation. Howeve

Courts and Congress Are Undoing Trump's War on Wind Power

There has been significant back-and-forth on offshore wind power in the United States. As part of ambitious plans for a green transition, the former Biden administration strongly supported offshore wind with both policy and federal funding. However, the Trump administration has since backtracked on U.S. wind energy goals, with President Trump openly opposing offshore wind. However, with greater political pushback from Congress and federal judges, it appears that progress on wind energy is hard t
