Lower demand for crude oil from refiners at home gave a boost to U.S. exports of the commodity, turning it into a net exporter to OPEC member Nigeria in two of the seven months since the start of this year. The news comes from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which said this week that the United States exported more crude oil to Nigeria in February and March than it imported from it. The specific focus on Nigeria is because of the new Dangote refinery that went into operation recently. A much-needed processing facility in the West African…

Thanks to its technological prowess in refining, and its willingness to forgo environmental safeguards, China has established itself as the leader in the critical mineral processing business. But Washington has finally begun to recognize its critical minerals vulnerability. An executive order signed on March 20 by…

Donald Trump’s tariffs are (as of now) set to go into effect on August 1. One of the primary targets of these tariffs is China, Trump’s primary political and economic rival. But not only will the tariffs – which have been negotiated down to 30 percent  from Trump’s April threat of 145 percent – not have much of an adverse impact on China’s economy or trade volumes, it will likely provide a significant boost to both as countries around the world are incentivized to trade with Beijing rather than Washington. …

The Trump administration is reportedly considering granting limited authorizations to a handful of oil companies operating in Venezuela, with Chevron first in line. The move would mark a shift from Washington’s hardline stance earlier this year, when key licenses were revoked and U.S. firms were ordered to wind down all activity with PDVSA, Venezuela’s state oil company.
