The Era of Cheap U.S. Natural Gas May Be Coming to an End

U.S. natural gas prices are set to rise through 2035, following a decade of low Henry Hub prices, as the AI data center boom and the expansion of U.S. LNG export infrastructure will underpin strong demand, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. During the decade to 2025, the benchmark U.S. Henry Hub prices remained in a narrow range of between $2 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) $4 per MMBtu, thanks to the surge in U.S. gas production as operators invested in standalone gas plays and boosted a

White supremacists’ July 4 march counts as free speech, US interior secretary says

Federal officials had no reason to stop a white ⁠supremacist group’s July ⁠4 rally in Washington because ⁠of free speech protections, US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said on Sunday. Hundreds of masked Patriot Front members who marched through the nation’s capital on Independence Day on Saturday did nothing illegal, Burgum told CNN’s State of the Union programme. Although the organisation’s ‌white supremacist, anti-immigrant ideology is “nothing that I could possibly agree with”, Burgum said,..

The Trump 702 deregulation plan dropped Friday. I ranked which tickers will likely benefit from it

So the White House published its regulatory agenda Friday. 702 rules on the chopping block, biggest semiannual list ever, claiming $1.5 trillion in savings. I went down a Federal Register rabbit hole this weekend and the picture is more interesting than that. The catch nobody will mention: most of that $1.5T is already done. About $1.3T of it comes from killing the endangerment finding, which happened back in February. The NEPA environmental review regs got gutted between January and April. Frid

Japanese space probe, size of a fridge, flies near asteroid in planet defence test

A Japanese space probe performed a fly-by of a near-Earth asteroid on Sunday, in a test mission for technology that could help protect the planet from space rocks.

Europe's Hottest June on Record Traced to Climate Change

Many countries across Europe have experienced the hottest June on record, as heatwaves sweep the region. Countries in Northern Europe that are not used to weeks of 30°C-plus heat are suffering due to a lack of air conditioning and buildings ill-prepared for such heat. Over 1,300 people died during the June heatwaves, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), demonstrating the severity of the issue.

Is EWY a good long term play?

Been looking at EWY. My thesis is that Samsung is a good investment and so is SK Hynix, and the weight of the rest of the stocks in the ETF can help mitigate some risk from single stock investments or tech. I also think SK Hynix will go up quite a bit if it does actually list in the US. It is also hard to invest in those companies in the US right now besides EWY or other ETFs. But since it has been ran up so much I was wondering what others here thoughts are for EWY as a longer term play in a po
