Iran Exports Crude at 20% Premium Even as Unsold Barrels Pile Up at Sea

Crude oil in floating storage off the Iranian coast is on the rise amid reluctance among buyers, Bloomberg reported today, citing data from Vortexa and its own calculations, suggesting some 58 million barrels are sitting on tankers. More than 90% of those barrels had no clear destination, Bloomberg said in its report, adding that the tankers were "indicating "for orders" or Singapore as their next port of call, a sign they may conduct ship-to-ship transfers in the Malacca Strait." Interestingly,

No more warnings for litterbugs as Malaysia’s Penang deploys bodycams

Malaysia’s heritage state of Penang has begun using body camera footage to prosecute litterbugs, widening a national clean-up drive that could see offenders fined or ordered by a court to carry out community service. The tougher enforcement, which took effect on Wednesday after a six-month grace period, gives patrol teams from the Penang Island City Council and Seberang Perai City Council powers to record offences at public hotspots across one of Malaysia’s best-known tourist states. Penang...

China’s Wang Yi to test whether transatlantic turmoil can soften Europe’s Nordic hawks

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi kicks off a rare tour of Europe’s Nordic countries on Thursday, as Beijing tests whether it can use shifting geopolitical sands to find openings among some of the bloc’s most China-critical governments. The veteran diplomat will be in Denmark on Thursday and Friday for a series of meetings with Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and a personal audience with King Frederik. In Stockholm he will meet Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Foreign Minister...

Venezuela faces post-quake medical crisis as threat of infections looms

Doctors said Wednesday they feared the aftermath of Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes could trigger a widening medical crisis marked by untreated injuries, infectious diseases and a healthcare system already on the brink. Thousands of displaced Venezuelans are sleeping in crowded shelters or outside without access to clean water amid dismal sanitary conditions following the June 24 earthquakes which officials say killed at least 2,295 and left more than 11,000 injured. Aid workers said...

Investing in VTI over FZILX for dividends? Or vice versa for zero-expense ratio.

I've got a RothIRA at Fidelity, and I've invested in the fidelity zero expense ratio Mutual Funds, FZILX and FZROX, as well as Vanguard's corresponding ETFs, VXUS and VTI, which do have minor expense ratios (0.05% and 0.03%). Fidelity's Zero MFs do not distribute dividends, whereas Vanguard's do. From my understanding, these positions basically travel in lock-step(FZILX and VXUS, and FZROX and VTI), and are predicted to give the same return. Makes sense, since they try to capture the same thing,

How North Korean POWs caught Seoul in a Ukraine arms ‘conundrum’

Ukraine’s unresolved decision regarding two North Korean prisoners of war who have said they want to go to South Korea has given Kyiv leverage as it presses Seoul to sell weapons for its war against Russia, observers say. The soldiers, captured in early 2025 after being deployed to Kursk to support Russia’s war effort, are considered South Korean nationals under Seoul’s constitution, which defines the entire Korean peninsula as the country’s territory. Seoul has said it would be willing to...

5 Under-the-Radar Stocks Fueling the AI Revolution

Nvidia was the first poster child of the AI revolution. OpenAI turned ChatGPT into a global phenomenon. Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic have since dominated headlines with ever-more-powerful models. But throughout history, the biggest fortunes made during a technological revolution rarely went to the most famous names. The California Gold Rush didn't create the most wealth for gold miners. It created fortunes for the people selling picks, shovels, railroads, and infrastructure. The same dynamic

Trump Targets California Again In SpaceX Feud

For years, U.S. President Donald Trump has loomed large over California's energy and environmental sectors as he tries to promote fossil fuels and roll back the state’s climate initiatives, with varying degrees of success. Back in 2019, the Trump administration effectively revoked California's federal waiver under the Clean Air Act that allowed the state to set its own stringent greenhouse gas emissions standards. The president has been even more aggressive during his second term. Last year, Tru

Wall Street Is Pivoting From Solar To Solar Plus Storage

The global solar energy boom is showing no signs of slowing down, with falling costs and ambitious clean energy targets continuing to drive rapid adoption.

The Hydrogen Industry's Efficiency Problem May Have Just Met Its Fix

A team of researchers in Germany has discovered a highly efficient way to convert sunlight into hydrogen fuel, potentially solving some of the most critical challenges facing the green hydrogen sector and offering an elegant solution to clean up some of the economy’s dirtiest industries. The new prototype, which uses a kind of solar cell used in spacecraft, is a proof-of-concept for what could someday make the production of totally clean-burning fuel a commercially scalable possibility.

77 Year Old Mother - What is the right investment?

My mom has a significant amount of money in just cash. \-$103K in an IRA in FZBXX. \-Nearly $86K in checking accounts. She has social security and a small pension. She doesn’t need any additional income to cover her needs. I have advised her to open a joint brokerage so we can drag that cash into it and invest it in something better than a checking account. I’ve recommended very simple investments so she doesn’t have to do any rebalancing. She has no appetite for risk. None. Will not consider lo

How the U.S. and U.K. Are Redrawing Syria's Energy Map

The agreement signed last week between the Syrian Petroleum Company (SPC), the U.S.’s ConocoPhillips and Great Britain’s Novaterra ConocoPhillips — covering the development of new gas fields and the expansion of output at existing sites — is the latest move in Washington’s and London’s long?game for shaping Syria’s post?Assad landscape. Rather than repeat the overt, Western?fronted reconstruction model used in Iraq, both countries have opted for a subtler architecture: powerful Arab states, led

Same Fear, Different Fallout: Oil and Gold's Diverging Collapse

Gold and oil spent five months moving like they were tied to the same rope. Both caught a bid from fear that war between the United States and Iran would spiral into something markets couldn’t quite price, and both are unwinding that trade in the same quarter. Look closer, though, and the two collapses have stopped sharing a cause. Gold fell for a third straight session Wednesday, dropping to $3,983.07 an ounce and touching its lowest level since November. The metal sank roughly 14% in the secon

Ship runs aground in Strait of Hormuz, was not using Iran-approved route: Iranian state TV

A ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz while using a route not approved by Iran, state television in Tehran reported on Wednesday. The vessel was identified as a foreign container ship, with no other details. The report appeared aimed at underlining Tehran’s claims to control the strait, which the world has long considered an international waterway. A fifth of all oil and natural gas passed through it in peacetime. Since the US and Israel launched the war against Iran on February 28, Iran...

Russia’s Security and Trade Blocs Show Signs of Fracturing

The signs are multiplying that Vladimir Putin’s powers of coercion are rapidly fading, and his chief instruments of regional leverage are dissolving. Not only have Ukrainian drones put Russian forces on their heels in the two countries’ long-running conflict, but they are also threatening to tear apart the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Moscow’s version of NATO. Meanwhile, the Kremlin’s failure to prevent the reelection of Putin’s nemesis in Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashiny
