JP Morgan: Falling Oil Prices A Massive Tailwind For Global Stock Markets

Tumbling oil prices could provide a massive tailwind for global stock markets by prompting a broader equity rally and clearing a path for central banks to cut interest rates, Karen Ward, the Chief Market Strategist for EMEA at JPMorgan Asset Management, said on Monday, as a tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal is digested by markets. Investors are currently treating higher oil prices as a threat to stocks because of inflation and growth concerns. Oil prices plummeted on Monday following the announceme

From Hormuz to Houston: The U.S. Takeover of Global Energy Flows Ramps Up

The Case Against Government Buying Into the AI Giants

When Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump agree on something, that agreement deserves examination. Both are touting the idea that the federal government should have an ownership stake in major artificial intelligence (AI) companies. For Sanders, this would be a way for the American people to share in the wealth generated by AI companies that those companies accumulated through the theft of other people's writing, artworks, photos, videos, and recordings. And it would give the government a seat at the

Ukraine’s New Refinery Tactic Is Fueling Russia’s Gasoline Crisis

Russia’s deputy prime minister kept walking but couldn't shake off a gaggle of reporters with questions about the country’s growing fuel crisis. Aleksandr Novak admitted oil production had fallen due to “unscheduled maintenance” at refineries but avoided saying why it was needed. That was June 4. Come June 9, the Energy Ministry issued a statement that nailed it. “Companies in the fuel and energy sector have encountered an increase in enemy air attacks, leading to temporary complications in supp

Relief and wariness: Asia watches US-Iran deal for real impact

The US-Iran peace deal is likely to bring immediate relief but not yet reassurance for Asia, as leaders across the region watch whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens, oil prices ease and the agreement can withstand the nuclear talks and geopolitical distrust still ahead, analysts say. The agreement, mediated by Pakistan and scheduled to be signed on Friday in Switzerland, is intended to end more than three months of war in the Gulf, halt the US blockade of Iran and reopen one of the world’s most.

After US-Iran accord and oil-price plunge, analysts warn of ‘grey area’ for Chinese firms

As plunging oil prices signal broad market optimism following an initial deal between the United States and Iran, attention has turned to whether Chinese firms sanctioned for Iran-related business will see immediate relief, though analysts remain cautious. “New purchases of Iranian oil ostensibly wouldn’t be subject to fresh sanctions, but at the same time, I imagine we won’t see a rush to lift existing sanctions on Chinese importers of Iranian oil,” said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater..

The $42 Trillion Oil Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight

Without ever discovering another barrel, at today’s prices, there is more than $42 trillion in crude oil trapped in existing oilfields, awaiting the deployment of advanced new technology that makes the impossible possible. It’s enough to make for a second oil boom, no exploratory drilling needed. Wood Mackenzie estimates advanced recovery technologies could unlock as much as 470 billion additional barrels worldwide, transforming enhanced recovery from a niche engineering discipline into one of t

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) presented self-published safety data to regulators in Sweden and the Netherlands in a bid to secure approval of its “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) system, which amounts to misleading marketing according to independent traffic-safety researchers.
