As Indonesia seeks to negotiate a reduction of a planned tariff of 32% on Indonesian goods sold in the United States, the government of Southeast Asia’s biggest economy will offer to buy an additional $10 billion worth of American oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Indonesia was slapped with one of the highest tariffs - 32% - in the “liberation day” tariffs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. These tariffs were suspended last week for 90 days, during which the Trump Administration expects most countries to come pleading…

Brent crude has slipped below $65 per barrel. WTI is trading barely above $60. Neither Trump nor China are backing down from the trade war that started the rout. OPEC+ has not yet updated its production plans, which contributed to the rout. Yet it is pretty much business as usual in the U.S. oil patch, per Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Speaking to Bloomberg recently, Wright said that the stock market selloff had been overblown, with fears about the global economy “misplaced”. “You see a marketplace right now that is worried about…

With the next round of EU sanctions on Russia due for renewal in July, Brussels is cooking up a workaround to one persistent problem: Hungary. Specifically, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, who’s been repeatedly threatening to walk unless he gets what he wants. Traditionally, renewing sanctions requires unanimous support from all 27 EU member states. That’s been increasingly awkward, thanks to Orbán’s not-so-secret bromance with Vladimir Putin and his tendency to use sanction votes as leverage for unrelated goodies.…

Extending sanctions against Russia has been one of the most pressing issues for the European Union -- especially this year. And Hungary's record of holding out against such sanctions has officials in Brussels worried about what will happen when the next extension deadline comes around, this time in July. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has for a long time voiced opposition to the EU's sanctions on the Kremlin and refused to agree on any new measures that target energy imports into the bloc from Russia. These rollovers happen every six months…

As the oil markets digest the impact of Trump's tariffs, every major institution seems to be lowering its forecast for both demand and prices.- Pre-tariff frenzy has helped Chinese exports beat expectations in Q1 2025, with total exports rising 12.4% year-over-year in March, triple of analyst expectations and amounting to a hefty $313.9 billion.- Not even US-China trade saw notable changes last month as Beijing’s trade surplus surged to $27.6 billion on the back of a 4.5% year-over-year increase in bilateral trade.  - Chinese refiners…

The U.S.-China trade war escalation and the tariffs on imports into the U.S. have sent oil prices plummeting this month. The U.S. benchmark oil price, WTI Crude, has now slumped to levels that American producers have flagged are below their breakeven price. “The significant…
