The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), one of the UK’s central forecasters, prepared itself for President Trump’s tariff war – or at least partially.  At a presentation after Chancellor Reeves’ Spring Statement, OBR chair Richard Hughes admitted the fiscal watchdog’s central forecast risked being completely undermined by global events.  Hughes came up with three possible scenarios for what Trump could announce and how much pain the UK economy would suffer. In one scenario, where the UK was slapped with…

Oil prices are sagging like a tired trampoline, and U.S. shale producers are feeling the bounce—just not in a good way. With WTI dancing around $60 and analysts wringing their hands over breakeven levels near $65, you'd be forgiven for assuming the shale patch was in full panic mode. But U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright—former CEO of Liberty Energy and now the government’s top oil whisperer—seems utterly unbothered. “The U.S. shale industry is going to survive and thrive,” Wright declared this week in Abu Dhabi,…

Electric rate hike requests in Virginia don’t generally make the headlines globally, but the Financial Times featured a story about one: Dominion Energy’s request for a 14% rate increase for its Virginia customers. It wasn’t a slow news day, either. Donald Trump had just hiked tariffs and the pages were filled with discussions about why the administration had singled out Lesotho and Madagascar for extreme tariff punishment, to say nothing of the penguins. The FT’s story suggested that there would be more of the same from…

Last week’s price crash, which saw Brent Crude prices dip below $60 per barre, was an excessive market reaction to the U.S. tariffs, with speculators assuming there would be no growth in oil demand due to recession fears, Gunvor’s head of research Frederic Lasserre told Bloomberg. “I think the market overreacted,” Lasserre told Bloomberg in an interview, commenting on last week’s market rout. “I think this was a bit too aggressive, at least for now, and from here I see a bit more upside than downside because…

Last Wednesday, South Bow said that the affected segment was isolated, and the release was contained. The estimated release volume is…
