Another month, another distressing Consumer Price Index report. As the war in Iran drags on, inflation in the United States is remaining stubbornly high, driven in large part by sky-high food and energy costs. Overall, prices rose four-tenths of a percent over the last month, and are expected to finish the year at a four percent increase as compared to 2025 – a blistering increase that reflected itself at the polls in last week’s midterm elections, where a blue wave has largely been viewed as a rebuke of Trump, his war in Iran, and…

Asian spot LNG is trading above $30 per million British thermal units and Europe is entering winter with its lowest gas inventory of the 2020s, yet Rystad Energy stops short of predicting a further rally. In its winter LNG outlook, published this week, the consultancy lays out as many ways for prices to fall as to rise and tells buyers to plan for a wide range of outcomes instead of one base case. EU storage sites were 71.6% full in Gas Infrastructure Europe’s Nov. 11 update, with Germany at 58%, and that is well under the five-year average…

A few Nigerian oil and gas companies owe local banks about $7 billion, and the fallout is reaching well beyond those borrowers, according to billionaire Aliko Dangote.

The average price of a new vehicle in the US has climbed to a record $51,109, according to a new Cox Automotive report citing Kelley Blue Book data. Combined with new-car loan rates near their highest levels since the mid-2000s, record sticker prices are putting vehicle ownership increasingly out of reach for many working-class folks, even before insurance, fuel and maintenance costs are factored in. Cox said average new-car transaction prices rose 2.1% year over year in October to a record $51,109, a slower increase than the rate of overall consumer…

President Donald Trump declared Thursday that the United States no longer needs a deal with Iran, just three days after suggesting the eight-month war was nearing its end. Oil prices promptly jumped, adding another round of volatility to a market that has spent November reacting to shifting expectations for peace. "We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed," Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that Washington had control of Iran's money and the Strait of Hormuz.
