Program description: Darers & Doers showcases groundbreaking innovations from China and features company founders and CEOs who are turning cool, bold ideas into reality. Produced by Caixin Global. Episode intro: Solar is one of China's most crowded renewable-energy sectors, if not the most. But a new generation of entrepreneurs is looking beyond manufacturing and capacity, finding new ways to turn solar into an investable and profitable business. In this episode of Darers & Doers, Li Wenxuan, founder, chairman and CEO of PCG Power Technology, explains how he has built a business around making distributed solar work for commercial and industrial users — helping factories and industrial parks cut energy costs, improve efficiency and secure a more reliable supply of green power. PCG Power turned a profit just two years after its founding. It has since grown into one of China's largest distributed-energy companies, operating 2 gigawatts of grid connected capacity and serving hundreds of customers. The company has also attracted backing from Singapore's state-owned investor Temasek and Saudi's Aramco, and has partnered with the U.K.'s Octopus Energy on power trading. Speaking with host Kelsey Cheng, Li explains how China's vast industrial power market has created a unique testing ground for new energy business models, and how PCG Power plans to take that experience overseas. He also addresses concerns about overcapacity and dumping in China's renewable-energy industry, and how technologies such as storage, virtual power plants and artificial intelligence can help address shortfalls of renewable generation.

This week on Inside the Economy, we discuss the overall consumer resilience, the S&P 500, and potential implications for investors. New home inventory has climbed steadily back up to nearly 500,000 units, marking a significant recovery from the historic lows seen a decade ago. Are we finally seeing enough increase in supply to help ease buyer competition, or is inventory still missing the mark? U.S. spending on data center construction has skyrocketed, officially outpacing traditional office and healthcare building markets. Where does this measure alongside educational, and transportation buildings? Meanwhile, PCE inflation measures have cooled dramatically from their historic peaks, settling into a much steadier range heading into mid-2026. Just how long can we expect this balanced inflation environment to last? Federal spending continues to outpace government receipts, maintaining a wide deficit gap even as revenues steadily climb. What could it take to close the distance between incoming tax dollars and national outlays? On the global front, average daily foreign exchange trading volume has climbed past 9.5 trillion dollars, jumping more than a quarter since 2025. What is driving this massive expansion in global currency trading? Aramco has cut its main oil pricing differential to its lowest point since 2020. What could this change in pricing mean for global energy markets and consumer costs ahead? Tune in to learn more. Key Takeaways: • Headline CPI at 3.5% • Crude Oil price at $81.22 per barrel • 30-year mortgage at 6.55%

VOV1 - Giá dầu thế giới hôm nay bật tăng trở lại sau khi một tàu chở dầu bị trúng vật thể lạ và bốc cháy tại eo biển Hormuz. Vụ việc một lần nữa làm dấy lên lo ngại về an ninh hàng hải trên tuyến vận tải năng lượng trọng yếu nối các quốc gia vùng Vịnh với thị trường toàn cầu.Trong phiên giao dịch sáng nay tại châu Á, giá dầu Brent tăng 0,4% lên 72,27 USD/thùng, trong khi dầu thô WTI của Mỹ tăng 0,4% lên 68,85 USD/thùng.Theo Cơ quan Điều hành Thương mại Hàng hải Anh (UKMTO), vụ việc xảy ra cách Limah (Oman) khoảng 8 hải lý về phía Đông. Một tàu chở dầu đang di chuyển theo hướng Nam bị trúng một vật thể lạ vào mạn trái, gây hỏa hoạn nhưng không ghi nhận thương vong hay ô nhiễm môi trường.Nguyên nhân vụ việc vẫn đang được điều tra, trong bối cảnh hoạt động vận tải qua eo biển Hormuz mới chỉ phục hồi một phần sau giai đoạn gián đoạn do căng thẳng quân sự giữa Mỹ và Iran. Dù lưu lượng tàu thuyền đã tăng trở lại, khối lượng hàng hóa vận chuyển vẫn thấp hơn so với trước xung đột, phản ánh tâm lý thận trọng của các hãng vận tải và doanh nghiệp năng lượng.Eo biển Hormuz là tuyến đường huyết mạch của thương mại năng lượng toàn cầu, nơi khoảng 20% lượng dầu và khí đốt giao dịch trên thế giới được vận chuyển qua trong điều kiện bình thường. Vì vậy, bất kỳ diễn biến bất ổn nào tại khu vực này đều có thể tác động trực tiếp đến tâm lý thị trường.Tuy nhiên, phản ứng của giá dầu lần này tương đối hạn chế khi thị trường vẫn chịu sức ép từ triển vọng nguồn cung gia tăng. Sau khi Mỹ và Iran đạt được thỏa thuận ngừng bắn tạm thời, giá dầu Brent đã xóa gần như toàn bộ mức tăng do chiến sự gây ra. Nhà phân tích ngoại giao và quân sự Alexandru Hudisteanu nhận định: “Thị trường và các nước trong khu vực đều muốn sớm khép lại cuộc xung đột này. Việc giá dầu tăng trước đây phản ánh những khoảng trống và rủi ro mà thị trường lo ngại. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay niềm tin đang dần được củng cố rằng tình hình có thể ổn định trở lại và các bên sẽ đạt được một dạng thỏa thuận mang tính lâu dài hơn. Trong kịch bản tích cực nhất, điều đó sẽ tạo điều kiện để hoạt động vận tải và thương mại dần nối lại, hướng tới một trạng thái bình thường mới sau xung đột. Rõ ràng, các quốc gia trong khu vực cũng như phần còn lại của thế giới đều mong muốn thương mại được lưu thông tự do. Tuy nhiên, kết quả cuối cùng sẽ phụ thuộc vào diễn biến và các thỏa thuận đạt được trong thời gian tới."Trong khi đó, nhiều tổ chức tài chính, trong đó có Goldman Sachs và Morgan Stanley tiếp tục cảnh báo nguy cơ dư cung quay trở lại trong những tháng tới. Áp lực này càng gia tăng sau khi Saudi Aramco thông báo hạ giá bán chính thức đối với dầu Arab Light xuất khẩu sang châu Á trong tháng 8 xuống thấp hơn 1,5 USD/thùng so với giá chuẩn khu vực. Đây là một trong số ít lần Saudi Arabia áp dụng mức chiết khấu lớn kể từ các giai đoạn cạnh tranh thị phần vào các năm 2015 và 2020. Các chuyên gia nhận định việc Aramco giảm giá bán phản ánh kỳ vọng giá dầu sẽ tiếp tục điều chỉnh theo xu hướng thị trường. Theo đó, OPEC+ có thể sẽ đẩy mạnh sản xuất nhằm bổ sung nguồn cung, qua đó đưa giá dầu về quanh ngưỡng 60 USD/thùng trong thời gian tới.Ở chiều ngược lại, yếu tố địa chính trị vẫn tiếp tục phủ bóng lên thị trường. Dù căng thẳng giữa Mỹ và Iran đã phần nào hạ nhiệt, tiến trình đàm phán giữa hai bên vẫn chưa đạt được đột phá. Tổng thống Donald Trump hôm qua tuyên bố Mỹ hoặc sẽ đạt được một thỏa thuận với Iran hoặc sẽ “hoàn thành nốt công việc”. Ông đồng thời cảnh báo khả năng sử dụng biện pháp quân sự nếu đàm phán không đạt kết quả. Iran ngay lập tức bác bỏ những tuyên bố trên, khẳng định nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo sẽ đáp trả nếu tiếp tục bị đe dọa../.Thu Hoài/VOV1Các tàu thuyền tại eo biển Hormuz

In this Energy Horizons episode of the Greenberg Traurig E2 Energy Law Podcast, host and of counsel Nikki Wise and Bill Garner, co-chair of the firm's global Energy Practice, examine one of 2026's most compelling emerging energy stories: the discovery and early-stage development of natural hydrogen, also known as white or geologic hydrogen, across the Middle East. Bill opens with an update on a landmark development in France, where Francaise De l'Energie has drilled the deepest well in the world specifically targeting natural hydrogen, reaching approximately 3,500 meters in the Lorraine region's abandoned coal mines. He then turns to the Middle East, where the unique geology of the region, including serpentinized ultramafic rock and ophiolitic formations, is generating significant exploration activity. The discussion highlights Oman as the region's clear first mover, with visible hydrogen seepage already documented, an MOU between SOHAR Port and Freezone and Swiss firm HYNAT, a US Department of Energy-backed project by GeoPower, and a recent exclusive evaluation agreement between Australian company HyTerra and ARA Natural Resources focused on the Samail Ophiolite. Bill notes that Oman's flexible petroleum law gives it a regulatory head start. The episode also covers Saudi Arabia's early-stage Aramco pilot investigations, and the UAE's establishment of a natural hydrogen research institute in Abu Dhabi, along with Irish company Decahydran's confirmed natural hydrogen well in Sharjah and its commercial partnerships with Weatherford International, Sharjah National Oil Company, and Siemens Energy. Bill and Nikki explore the legal and business dimensions of this emerging industry, noting that new regulatory frameworks, mining laws, environmental assessments, international trade agreements, and commercial contracts are effectively being written in real time, creating significant opportunities for legal practitioners and investors alike. The episode closes with a realistic look at the long timeline to commercialization and the geopolitical complexities affecting the region, before previewing the next episode, which will focus on natural hydrogen development and legal considerations in the United States.

On June 28, 2026, a civilian skydiving aircraft tragically crashed near the northeastern town of Tomblaine, France, resulting in the deaths of eleven individuals. This incident, which left no survivors, included one pilot, five skydiving instructors, and five students. Fortunately, no bystanders on the ground sustained injuries.The aircraft, a German-registered Pilatus PC-6 light plane, was owned by a local skydiving club and was conducting a training flight. Relatives of the skydivers were present at the airfield at the time of the crash. The plane descended vertically into a grassy area adjacent to the runway of the Nancy-Essey Aerodrome, narrowly avoiding a nearby residential area and shopping center.Regional prefect Yves Seguy reported that the aircraft seemed to experience unexplained damage during its ascent before it fell straight down. Amaury Lacote, the deputy public prosecutor in Nancy, confirmed that a technical investigation has been initiated to ascertain the cause of this tragedy.French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot and Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez both visited the site to evaluate the emergency response efforts. In the meantime, local police have urged the public to refrain from entering the perimeter around the aerodrome to ensure that emergency vehicles can access the area without interruption.Medical and psychological support units were onsite to assist eyewitnesses and grieving families.In a separate incident, a helicopter crash in Saudi Arabia resulted in the deaths of 14 Saudi citizens, as reported by the kingdom's official press agency, which noted that the aircraft was owned by the state oil company Aramco.The Saudi Press Agency, citing an official from the energy ministry, stated that the helicopter crashed in Ras Tanura, located in the eastern part of the country."The accident resulted in the fatalities of all 14 passengers, all of whom were Saudi citizens," the agency reported, adding that an investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of the crash.Aramco reports that it manages over 60 aircraft, which includes helicopters that serve more than 300 heliports across Saudi Arabia, positioning it as one of the largest corporate fleets in the area.

Cuatro de cada diez seres humanos vieron el último Mundial: 2.870 millones de personas mirando lo mismo, a la vez. Pero si apartas el ruido —las banderas, los himnos, los penaltis— y miras lo que de verdad mueve la maquinaria, descubres que el partido es lo de menos.En este episodio te explico cómo el Mundial dejó de ser un deporte para convertirse en la mayor máquina audiovisual y financiera del planeta. Hablamos de los 13.000 millones de dólares que ingresa la FIFA, de por qué una retransmisión en directo es el último activo que el streaming no ha podido sustituir, y de cómo el capital soberano de Arabia Saudí —con Aramco al frente— ha integrado el fútbol en el mercado global como una clase de activo más, igual que un inmueble o un barril de crudo.También entramos en el sportswashing, en la huella de carbono récord de 2026 y, sobre todo, en la pregunta que casi nadie hace: ¿quién paga realmente la fiesta? La pasión la ponemos nosotros. El beneficio se lo llevan ellos. Y el poder decide, en Zúrich, las reglas del reparto.No te pido que apagues la televisión. Te pido algo más difícil: que mientras lo ves, sepas lo que estás viendo.Seguimos… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the imminent deal Trump talked up on Saturday seems to have faded, mainly because Israeli attacks on Beirut have undermined the situation. But if there was to be a deal, it is sure to dominate financial markets. In the meantime, war is the standard situation. These same markets are also contending the implications of the wildly successful SpaceX float. It was full of animal spirits, FOMO, and gambling fever, and more than a few observers are seeing this as evidence of a gigantic bubble. After all it values SpaceX at 100 times its current revenues, and the business operates at a loss. At a US$2 tln 'value', to be sustainable it would need to generate after-tax profits of at least 10% or US$200 bln per year. And that is about double what Aramco-plus-Google do now, #1 and #2 combined. In the real world, Thursday will bring the next US Fed policy meeting result, the first chaired by Kevin Warsh, Trump's replacement of Jerome Powell. Powell will still have a vote however. Most observers see them holding their key rate at 3.75%. The Fed has an inflation target of 2% for the PCE measure of inflation which is currently running at 3.8% with the CPI running at 4.2%, a three year high, with both rising sharply last time they were released. There will need to be some policy gymnastics to ignore those signals, but they may hope the fuel component reverses soon to save them. That is probably why markets think there will be no change on Thursday. The US Fed won't be the only central bank on action this week. We will get reviews from the Bank of Japan (+25 bps to 1.00% expected), Sweden's Riskbank, Norway's Norges Bank, the Swiss National Bank, the English central bank, even in Brazil. More importantly for us is that we will get the RBA's latest update on Tuesday, where no change from the current 4.35% is expected. And the New Zealand Q1-2026 GDP result will drop this week and it will be a surprise it it isn't a year-on-year growth rate of +1.1%. Of course, this will be very dated data. In fact the RBNZ's own Nowcast suggests GDP will drop -0.2% in Q2-2026 from the prior quarter after rising +0.6% in the March quarter. Markets see a March quarterly rise of +0.9%. In Japan, attention will focus on the Bank of Japan's policy meeting, where it is widely expected to raise the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1% amid persistent inflation and yen weakness. If delivered, it would mark the first rate increase since December last year and the highest policy rate since 1995. The country is also set to publish trade, inflation, and machinery orders data. In India, producer inflation is projected to rise to 9.1% in May from 8.3% in April, driven by rising energy costs. Other major releases include trade, unemployment, and passenger vehicle sales figures. In China, investors will monitor a series of key economic releases next week, including house prices, industrial production, retail sales, fixed asset investment, and their jobless data. After April's surprise decline, China's May new yuan loans resumed their growth in data out over the weekend, up +5.5% from a year ago with a modest +¥520 bln rise, about what was expected (+¥550 bln). Still, at that level it is the weakest May increase in eighteen years, as the usual suspect - the property market - continues to drag on bank lending. Across the Pacific, American consumers felt the cost of living pressure ease slightly in June as petrol prices came back off their recent war highs. The University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index rose in early June, up from May's all-time low and a better than expected recovery. It was a modest recovery all the same with improvements seen across all age, education, and political groups. Lower-income consumers, for whom fuel represents a larger share of budgets, showed a particularly strong rebound even if it is still deeply negative and its second lowest of all time. And in Europe, Switzerland had another set of national referendums. One proposal, to cap its population at 10 mln, has been voted down. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.49%, up +1 bps from Saturday, down -5 bps for the week. The price of gold has recovered a very minor +US$4 from Saturday to US$4222/oz but down -US$102 for the week. Silver is little-changed US$67.50/oz and the same as last week at this time. Oil prices are up +50 USc from Saturday at just under US$85/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just on US$87.50/bbl. A week ago these two prices were US$90.50 and US$93/bbl respectively. Hormuz transits have dried up again. And global oil reserves are draining into uncharted territory. The Kiwi dollar is down -10 bps from this time Saturday at just on 58.3 USc, up +30 bps for the week. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 82.8 AUc. Against the euro we are holding at just on 50.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62 which is unchanged from Saturday, up +30 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,655 and down a minor -0.3% from this time Saturday. That is a +5.8% rise from this time last week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just over +/- 0.8%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora.

O vencedor da Copa do Mundo de futebol será definido no campo, mas esta edição da competição já tem um título nada honroso a exibir: o de Mundial mais emissor de gases de efeito estufa da história do esporte. Disputada em três países, 16 cidades e com um recorde de 48 seleções, a Copa provocará um uso inédito de transporte aéreo pelas seleções e torcedores – sem falar do volume de dados para as transmissões dos jogos por streaming. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em Paris O alto volume de voos será inevitável não apenas para levar um recorde de 6 milhões de espectadores do mundo todo para os países-sede, Estados Unidos, México e Canadá, como para os deslocamentos internos até os locais das partidas. A distribuição dos jogos desconsiderou o balanço ambiental das distâncias – a maior delas é de mais de 4 mil quilômetros, entre o Estádio Azteca, na Cidade do México, e o BC Place, em Vancouver. O resultado é que as emissões geradas pela Copa serão no mínimo o dobro da última edição, no Catar: 7,8 milhões de toneladas de CO₂ equivalentes, avalia um estudo da plataforma internacional de contabilidade de carbono Greenly. Isso corresponde às emissões anuais de um país pobre como Serra Leoa ou de 1,7 milhão de carros a combustível. "O que nos impressionou nesta Copa do Mundo é que ninguém falou sobre essa questão. É uma completa negligência, como se as mudanças climáticas não existissem", observa o CEO da plataforma, Alexis Normand. Antes da Greenly, outros estudos já haviam alertado para um resultado ainda mais pesado, como o do New Weather Institute e a rede Sport for Climate Action, que antecipa um total de emissões de 9 milhões de toneladas de CO₂. Distâncias maiores, por mais gente e mais tempo A média da distância da viagem de ida e volta percorrida por cada torcedor nesta Copa será de 19,4 mil quilômetros, contra 13 mil no Catar em 2022. Para piorar, esta edição será 10 dias mais longa e terá nada menos do que o triplo de torcedores do que o último Mundial. As emissões dos transportes representarão, assim, 87% das emissões totais desta Copa, estima a Greenly. A maioria das partidas vai ocorrer nos Estados Unidos de Donald Trump, um presidente negacionista climático que, em momento algum da organização do evento, se preocupou em diminuir a sua pegada de carbono. O que chamou a atenção foi o silêncio da Federação Internacional de Futebol (Fifa) sobre o tema, apesar de a entidade ter um objetivo de redução de 50% das emissões de seus eventos até 2030 e de atingir a neutralidade de carbono até 2040. Papel da Fifa A decisão de aumentar de 32 para 48 equipes participantes, assim como a de estabelecer uma parceria com a gigante petroleira saudita Aramco, não avançam neste esse sentido. "Durante a Copa do Mundo do Catar, a Fifa fez algumas confusões porque, depois de prometer que o Mundial seria neutro em carbono, soubemos que ela 'esqueceu' de calcular as emissões indiretas relacionadas ao transporte de passageiros", lembra Normand. "Então, ela disse: 'Não é um problema, porque vamos comprar projetos de compensação de carbono, financiar florestas, etc.'. Só que os projetos em questão não foram verificados. Isso se tornou um problema de comunicação para eles, de modo que, agora, aparentemente, eles decidiram nem sequer tocar mais no assunto." Desta vez, a federação reconhece o peso dos transportes no balanço ambiental do evento. No entanto, a Fifa alega que a decisão de espalhar as competições por estádios tão distantes foi para privilegiar as instalações e infraestruturas existentes, outro eixo relevante na pegada de carbono de um grande evento esportivo. Nenhum novo estádio precisou ser construído para o Mundial de 2026. A entidade delega aos países organizadores a missão de reduzir as emissões relacionadas a transportes, energia, alimentação e gestão de resíduos, entre outros aspectos relevantes. "A Fifa precisa assumir a responsabilidade por seu papel crescente na crise climática", afirma Stuart Parkinson, autor principal do relatório do New Weather Institute.  "A Copa do Mundo de 2026 está prevista para ser a mais poluente de todos os tempos, e espera-se que os torneios futuros continuem dependendo fortemente de viagens aéreas e outras atividades com alta emissão de carbono. À medida que a crise climática se agrava rapidamente, a única resposta sensata é a federação tomar medidas imediatas para reduzir significativamente as emissões dos torneios." Próximas Copas Daqui a quatro anos, o formato em que os jogos são divididos entre diferentes países voltará a acontecer, na Copa do Mundo em Portugal, Espanha e Marrocos. Alexis Normand assinala que será uma oportunidade de retomar o exemplo dos Jogos Olímpicos de Paris, que limitou o impacto ambiental a 2,08 milhões de toneladas de carbono, o mais baixo desde a Olimpíada de Londres de 2012. Ele defende que os recursos investidos nas infraestruturas, especialmente no Marrocos, país em desenvolvimento, sejam direcionados à sustentabilidade, e que os critérios ambientais sejam uma condição para as licitações de obras. "Estão previstos grandes investimentos, então por que não imaginar, como fez Paris, um Plano Marshall para investimento em infraestrutura de baixo carbono?", sugere o especialista francês. "Você pode aproveitar para renovar a rede ferroviária, modernizar as instalações esportivas e fazê-las consumir menos energia, conectá-las a fontes de energia renováveis e assim por diante. Dessa forma, minimiza-se o impacto de carbono do transporte e se constrói edifícios que serão menos poluentes."

Tessel Middag wants her sport to be a force for good. But she says that's hard to imagine when FIFA's “Major Worldwide Partner” for the 2026 World Cup is Saudi state oil company, Aramco. And it's not just Tessel. Advocates like Frank Huisingh feel uneasy watching athletes compete in extreme heat while flanked by advertisements for the globe's leading oil corporation. But as the world continues to warm, can advocates convince football's governing body to ditch oil and gas sponsorships, and make way for climate-conscious partnerships?

Antonio Sanabria, doctor en Economía, profesor e investigador en economía aplicada en la UCM; Rafael Ramiro, profesor de Gestión Empresarial de Comillas ICADE; e Isabel Aguilera, consultora empresarial; analizan dos temas que marcan la actualidad: la salida a bolsa de las grandes tecnológicas y el impacto de la visita del Papa León XIV a España. SpaceX busca recaudar 85.000 millones de dólares, una cifra que triplica la mayor salida a bolsa registrada hasta ahora, que fue la de Aramco en 2019 con menos de 30.000 millones.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reveals that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly offered his resignation, admitting the IRGC, not the civilian government, is now firmly in control of Iran and its stalled peace talks with President Trump. Bryan tracks satellite images showing Iran using the ceasefire to dig out buried missiles and drones, a US Hellfire strike on a cargo ship running the naval blockade, and warnings from Chevron, Exxon, and Aramco that global oil supplies could hit a panic-buying breaking point in just two to three weeks, with prices potentially spiking past $150 a barrel. He also covers Israel's deepest push into Lebanon in 25 years and the capture of the Crusades-era Beaufort Castle, then makes the case that Trump's best play now is a bare-bones Iran deal so he can pivot to the bigger threat at home: an Islamo-Marxist Democrat movement organizing violent ICE protests with funding from Roy Singham and George Soros. Plus, Bryan unpacks the concept of Taqiyya and what it means for vetting figures like Zohran Mamdani, a screwworm case creeping toward Texas cattle country, a promising new blood test that distinguishes four forms of dementia with 92% accuracy, and surprising research on how multiple AI chatbots can fact-check each other to deliver better medical answers.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 11 Maggio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.   Investimenti, Mercati e Scenario MacroTestate: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / Repubblica Affari&Finanza / Il Giornale / Il Messaggero* Mercati vicini ai massimi, ma aumenta il rischio “bolla”. L'Economia segnala che le Borse, incluse Piazza Affari e Wall Street, restano sostenute nonostante guerre, petrolio e debito pubblico. KPI chiave: Fed al 3,5-3,75%, Bce al 2%; S&P 500 e Nasdaq su livelli record; Berkshire Hathaway ha raggiunto un nuovo record di liquidità nel 1° trimestre 2026. Il messaggio manageriale è prudente: non è il momento di uscire dai mercati, ma di selezionare asset con flussi solidi e bassa leva.* Fine dell'illusione del denaro gratis. Il Giornale sottolinea il cambio di regime: dopo oltre 15 anni di tassi zero, liquidità abbondante e debito a costo quasi nullo, il capitale torna ad avere prezzo. È un fattore positivo per imprese ben patrimonializzate: la selezione rafforza i player più efficienti.* Trump-Xi: confronto difensivo sul G2. Il vertice del 14-15 maggio viene letto come tentativo di stabilizzazione su AI, terre rare, commercio, petrolio, Iran e Ucraina. L'AI è trattata come infrastruttura economica critica: dalle fabbriche ai farmaci, fino ai trasporti globali.Energia, Materie Prime e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Repubblica Affari&Finanza / La Stampa / La Verità* Carburanti aviation: via libera UE al Jet A USA, ma con rischi operativi. La Commissione europea autorizza l'uso del carburante americano per fronteggiare la carenza di cherosene legata alle tensioni su Hormuz. KPI: il Jet A congela a -40 °C, contro il Jet A-1 a -47 °C. Il rischio è tecnico-industriale: errori di rifornimento possono impattare filtri, tubazioni e motori.* Fertilizzanti e agro-commodity sotto pressione. La Stampa evidenzia rincari dei fertilizzanti fino all'84%, collegati al petrolio. Sempre La Stampa segnala tensioni su soia, grano e caffè: la filiera food resta esposta ai costi energetici e alla volatilità geopolitica.* Petrolio e Aramco: la guerra favorisce i produttori sauditi. Repubblica indica utili record per Aramco, confermando che l'instabilità energetica redistribuisce margini lungo la catena del valore a favore degli upstream producer.Industria, AI e Filiere StrategicheTestate: Repubblica Affari&Finanza / Foglio - Inserto / Messaggero / Corriere della Sera* L'intelligenza artificiale conquista l'auto. Affari&Finanza legge l'automotive come uno dei settori più esposti alla trasformazione AI: software, guida assistita, supply chain e customer experience diventano leve competitive. Indicazione positiva: chi integra AI su prodotto e operations può migliorare margini e time-to-market.* Cina e AI regolata come modello globale. Il Foglio segnala la strategia cinese di regolazione dell'AI come strumento industriale e geopolitico. Per le imprese europee il tema è doppio: compliance e accesso ai mercati.* Cinecittà e nuovi teatri PNRR. Il Messaggero presenta Roma come potenziale set europeo grazie ai nuovi teatri finanziati dal PNRR: opportunità per filiera audiovisiva, turismo professionale e servizi collegati.Fisco, Casa e NormativaTestate: Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa* Bonus casa in frenata e Irpef più alta dai redditi di 29mila euro. Il Sole 24 Ore segnala un impatto fiscale selettivo: la soglia critica è 29.000 euro di reddito. La riduzione degli incentivi edilizi può rallentare ristrutturazioni e filiera costruzioni, ma favorisce una maggiore disciplina di spesa pubblica.* Piano casa: commissario per l'edilizia popolare. Il Sole 24 Ore evidenzia un approccio più centralizzato alla gestione dell'edilizia residenziale pubblica. Implicazione: possibile accelerazione autorizzativa, ma execution da monitorare.* Accise: sconti agli sgoccioli. La Stampa segnala il possibile esaurimento degli sconti, con impatto su carburanti, logistica e consumi. Per le aziende è un tema da incorporare nei budget energia e trasporti.Banche, Credito e DebitoTestate: Repubblica / L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / Il Messaggero* Fusioni bancarie UE: gli Stati resistono, ma il mercato spinge. Nell'intervista a Patuelli, Repubblica evidenzia che le fusioni transfrontaliere restano ostacolate dalle resistenze nazionali, ma la pressione competitiva dovrebbe prevalere. Indicazione positiva: il consolidamento può rafforzare scala, capitale e capacità di finanziare imprese.* Credito e obbligazioni sotto osservazione. L'Economia richiama i warning di Jamie Dimon su private debt e rischio obbligazionario, con analogie agli allarmi pre-2008. Il messaggio per CFO e investitori è chiaro: attenzione a duration, liquidità e qualità del credito.* Debito italiano: lettura meno allarmistica. Il Messaggero affronta la “miopia” sul debito italiano, evidenziando la necessità di valutare sostenibilità, risparmio privato e traiettoria dei conti pubblici senza letture solo emergenziali.Consumi, Famiglie, Lavoro e FormazioneTestate: Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / Repubblica Affari&Finanza / La Stampa* Consumi a rischio: famiglie in modalità pre-allarme. Il Sole 24 Ore rileva che gli italiani stanno già riducendo spese non essenziali, rinviando grandi acquisti, limitando auto e consumi energetici. KPI: 8 intervistati su 10 prevedono un peggioramento nei prossimi mesi; 7 su 10 hanno già registrato effetti economici dell'instabilità geopolitica; tra i giovani la preoccupazione sale all'82%.* Spagna batte Italia su salari, energia e investimenti. Il Corriere confronta due economie simili ma con performance divergenti. KPI principali: potere d'acquisto in Spagna +1,2%, Italia -8%; prezzo energia 65 €/MWh in Spagna contro 116 €/MWh in Italia; investimenti esteri 304 mld in Spagna contro 191 mld in Italia; crescita PIL 2016-2025: Spagna 2,1% medio, Italia 1% medio. Il dato positivo è che il gap indica leve chiare di recupero: energia, attrazione investimenti, stabilità regolatoria.* Rincari sui conti delle famiglie. Repubblica Affari&Finanza segnala che l'onda lunga dell'inflazione continua a comprimere budget domestici e propensione al consumo. Per le imprese consumer diventa cruciale il value-for-money.* Lavoro: stagione di cambiamento. La Stampa richiama il tema lavoro-formazione: con salari reali sotto pressione e competenze in transizione, la produttività diventa la leva centrale.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a jump in profits for a major oil supplier.

Adrienne Belaire grew up on Aramco compounds in Saudi Arabia from first grade through high school, a world full of sunshine, small communities, and the particular freedom of a life lived between cultures. She is a wife, mother, potter, and artist who, after navigating her own sometimes turbulent repatriation to the United States, made a quietly remarkable decision: to go back again. She returned to Saudi Arabia as an adult gave birth to and has raised her three children there, giving them the same roots she had always missed. She is one of those rare people who has lived the TCK experience from both sides,  as a child, a daughter, a sibling and now as the parent holding the map.What You'll Walk Away WithThis conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like a marble thrown across a floor, feeling scattered, disconnected, not quite sure where they landed. Adrienne talks with extraordinary candor about the sudden closure of her compound in 1986, the grief of losing a community with no internet to hold it together, and what it felt like to fly into Denver knowing she was landing somewhere that was supposed to be home but felt nothing like it. What makes this episode particularly powerful is her hard-won perspective on what she wishes someone had told her then, that your kids need to know you are their safe place, especially when the world outside doesn't understand them yet. There is also a genuinely moving moment when she describes reading the Pollock TCK book for the first time as an adult and simply thinking: that is me. That is my sister. That is my brother. Recognition, it turns out, is its own special way a kind of homecoming.A Gentle NudgeWhether you are raising children overseas, or if you were once a child raised overseas this episode could be for you.

We are now recording an audio summary of written posts that we will upload to Apple, Spotify, and YouTube and you can listen to by clicking the button below.This week we expand on the Energy Technology component of our Geopolitical Super Vol framework we introduced last week (here). The massive unmet energy needs of the other seven billion people on Earth were already driving investment in new energy technologies in particular for countries not blessed with sufficient domestic resources like crude oil, natural gas, or coal. A backdrop of structurally increased geopolitical uncertainty and turmoil, in particular amongst the largest economies in the world, will drive a doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on a wide swath of new technologies that help meet energy needs. For The Lucky 1 Billion of Us, there is a need to invest in the technologies that allow our industries to compete in a host a new areas and to no longer simply cede all manufacturing to China and other Asian countries—as the U.S. and Western Europe have done over the past 25 years.The new technology areas we are most interested in span four broad buckets:* Grid optimization and enhancement* Power generation* Demand diversification opportunities, which encompasses areas like EVs (electric vehicles), LNG (liquefied natural gas) trucks, and energy efficiency* Manufacturing and industrial competitiveness via physical AI, robotics, and automationIn this post we:* differentiate between “Energy Tech,” which we believe has a very favorable outlook, and “Climate Tech,” the latter of which always seemed non-sensical to us.* highlight the key areas we are watching most closely within the new technology buckets noted above.* provide a progress report on hyperscaler profitability given the massive ramp in CAPEX seen by those companies.* highlight Aramco as an AI and technology leader.The opportunity for investment spans a broad spectrum of companies, technologies, and regions across a range of sectors including technology, industrials, traditional energy, new energies, power, infrastructure, metals, minerals, and mining. In a nutshell, Energy & Power + Technology + Industrials + Metals & Materials convergence.For all Super-Spiked content, follow me at https://arjunmurti.substack.com or at https://veriten.com.X (Twitter): @ArjunNMurti DISCLAIMERMy views are my own and not attributable to any current or past affiliation.CREDITSIntro & Outro music: Wolf Hoffman on Apple Music: Concerto for 2 Cellos in G Minor, Rv 531: I.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 7 Aprile 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Messaggero / Milano Finanza * Emergenza Carburanti e Scorte: La chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz sta causando una crisi delle forniture di petrolio e cherosene. In Italia, il prezzo del gasolio è salito a 2,140 €/litro, mentre la benzina self-service ha raggiunto 1,781 €/litro. Le scorte nazionali di energia sono attualmente al 44% della capacità, superando la media europea del 20%. * Crisi del Trasporto Aereo: Sette scali italiani, tra cui Brindisi (a secco fino alle ore 12:00 del 07/04), Reggio Calabria (limite di 3.000 litri per aereo) e Pescara, segnalano criticità nei rifornimenti di jet fuel. Il prezzo del cherosene ha superato i 1.900 $/tonnellata, più del doppio rispetto a fine febbraio. * Impatto Geopolitico e Mercati: Le quotazioni del greggio WTI hanno superato i 114 $/barile (+2,4%) e il Brent i 111 $/barile (+1,8%). Aramco ha alzato i prezzi per l'Europa di 24-30 $ sopra il Brent, portando il costo effettivo a 130-140 $/barile. Dall'inizio del conflitto, le borse europee hanno bruciato oltre 1.100 miliardi € di capitalizzazione.Investimenti e MercatiTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica Affari & Finanza / Il Sole 24 Ore * Venture Capital e Startup: Il mercato italiano del venture capital vale tra 1,2 e 1,8 miliardi € annui, con ticket medi di 1,1 milioni €. Negli ultimi 10 anni, le startup italiane hanno generato 80 miliardi € di liquid value, contro i 430 miliardi della Francia. Si stima che aziende tecnologiche europee per 700 miliardi € abbiano lasciato il continente tra il 2014 e il 2025. * Ricchezza delle Famiglie: Il reddito medio delle famiglie residenti in Italia nel 2024 è stato di 39.501 € (3.290 €/mese), con una crescita del 5,3% che ha superato l'inflazione (1,1%). Tuttavia, la propensione al risparmio è scesa all'8,2%. Le attività finanziarie totali delle famiglie superano i 6.000 miliardi €. * Asset Digitali: Il Bitcoin ha mostrato un recupero tornando sopra i 70.000 $, segnando un rialzo dell'1,5% dopo una perdita del 23% nel primo trimestre dell'anno.Industria e Nomine PartecipateTestate coinvolte: Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / La Stampa * Governance di Stato: Il governo è impegnato nel rinnovo dei vertici di oltre 20 partecipate statali, coinvolgendo circa 100 posizioni strategiche. * Focus Leonardo: Avanza il nome di Lorenzo Mariani per sostituire Roberto Cingolani come AD di Leonardo. Nel 2025, il gruppo ha registrato ricavi vicini ai 20 miliardi €, un portafoglio ordini di 47,3 miliardi € e ha distribuito dividendi per 0,63 € per azione. Si stimano dividendi per 1,3 miliardi € nel triennio 2026-2028. * Altre Conferme: Claudio Descalzi si avvia verso il quinto mandato come AD di Eni, mentre per Enel si profila la conferma di Flavio Cattaneo (AD) e Paolo Scaroni (Presidente).Fisco e NormativaTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore * Evasione e Recupero: L'Agenzia delle Entrate ha recuperato circa 36,2 miliardi € dall'evasione fiscale nell'ultimo anno. L'evasione fiscale e contributiva complessiva è stimata oltre i 100 miliardi €/anno, con il sommerso che pesa per il 10% del PIL. * Adempimento Collaborativo: Il numero di società che hanno aderito a questo schema è salito a 221 (78 nuove adesioni nel 2025). La normativa riguarda attualmente società con fatturato sopra i 500 milioni €, soglia che scenderà a 100 milioni € dal 2028.Lavoro e FormazioneTestate coinvolte: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / La Repubblica / Il Messaggero * Mercato del Lavoro: I dati Istat di febbraio mostrano un calo di 29.000 occupati su base mensile, con un incremento tendenziale annuo di sole 13.000 unità (molto inferiore alle 354.000 del 2025). * Salari e Contrattazione: Il potere d'acquisto in Italia ha perso l'8% dallo shock inflattivo dell'invasione russa, recuperando finora solo l'1%. Circa il 60% dei contratti collettivi nazionali (CCNL) risulta scaduto. * Nuove Regole: Da oggi entrano in vigore nuove regole per lo smart working, con obblighi informativi sulla prevenzione e sicurezza per i dipendenti.Executive Takeaway (Insight per la C-Suite) * Resilienza Operativa e Energy Sourcing: La crisi nello Stretto di Hormuz impone una revisione immediata delle supply chain energetiche. Nonostante le scorte nazionali (44%) offrano un cuscinetto temporaneo, il raddoppio dei costi del jet fuel e i picchi del gasolio richiedono strategie di hedging più aggressive e diversificazione dei vettori logistici. * Capitalizzazione dell'Innovazione: L'Europa continua a "esportare crescita" (700 miliardi di capitalizzazione persi verso l'estero). Per le aziende italiane late-stage, è fondamentale sfruttare i nuovi strumenti di Private Debt e i mega-fondi UE da 5 miliardi per evitare la migrazione di capitali e competenze verso i mercati USA. * Evoluzione del Rapporto Fisco-Impresa: La transizione verso l'adempimento collaborativo (esteso alle imprese da 100M€ dal 2028) trasforma il fisco da avversario a partner negoziale. Implementare un Tax Control Framework solido è oggi un vantaggio competitivo per ridurre sanzioni e incertezza di bilancio. * Gestione del Capitale Umano e Salari: Con il 60% dei contratti scaduti e un'occupazione in rallentamento, le aziende devono prepararsi a una revisione dei parametri salariali. Indicazioni positive arrivano dalla detassazione al 5% sui rinnovi contrattuali proposta dal governo per incentivare il potere d'acquisto. * Governance e Continuità: Il massiccio rinnovo delle cariche nelle partecipate (100 posizioni) influenzerà i settori Difesa, Energia e Infrastrutture. La continuità operativa in giganti come Eni ed Enel garantisce stabilità, mentre il nuovo corso in Leonardo segnerà una forte spinta sui sistemi missilistici e spaziali.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast:1) President Trump issued increasingly aggressive threats to destroy Iran’s power plants starting Tuesday and bring “Hell” to the country following the rescue of a US airman more than a day after his fighter jet was shot down. Iran rejected Trump’s latest ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would only fully resume operations when war damage is compensated. Tehran continued striking energy targets in Gulf neighbors, including Kuwait’s oil headquarters. Trump, in renewing his threats to target Iran’s civilian infrastructure, used an expletive in a social media post and told Axios he would be “blowing up everything over there” if Iran doesn’t make a deal. He said he plans a news conference at 1 p.m. on Monday and posted about a Tuesday 8 p.m. deadline, without offering details.2) Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she is looking to hold talks with Iran’s leader and possibly also a separate call with President Trump, as the clock ticks on the US president’s latest threat to bomb key Iranian infrastructure. “We are currently making preparations for leadership level talks,” Japan’s Takaichi said of talks with Iran during a parliamentary session Monday. “We will continue to do everything in our power to find an off-ramp to this situation and return to peace.” Takaichi’s comments came with Trump warning Tehran that the US will bomb Iranian power plants unless it opens up the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point through which Japan secures over 90% of its oil. Takaichi said that Japan would do what it can ahead of the Tuesday ultimatum set by Trump, suggesting that she was also seeking a phone call with Trump, though nothing has been finalized yet. Whether Japan can help defuse tensions or even play a mediation role remains unclear, but the nation has a key interest in maintaining a working relationship with a country that currently controls passage through the Strait of Hormuz.3) Saudi Arabia has raised the price of its main oil grade to Asia to a record high premium, as a widening conflict in the Persian Gulf and Iran’s near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz convulse energy markets. State oil producer Saudi Aramco will increase flagship Arab Light crude prices for May sales to a premium of $19.50 over regional benchmarks for refiners in Asia, according to a price list seen by Bloomberg. Still, the level is less than the $40 a barrel premium anticipated by traders and refiners in a Bloomberg survey. The gap with market expectations is in part because of a volatile market, and as prices of some Middle Eastern grades dipped in the last week of March, according to traders. Aramco’s oil is also priced for loading in the Persian Gulf port of Ras Tanura, though all of the company’s exports are currently being shipped from the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast.

Carlota reflects on starting the game at just five years old, finding her path through the U.S. college system, and building a career defined by consistency, resilience, and a love of the challenge.She also opens up about life on tour, the loneliness, the routines, and the importance of having the right team and environment around you, as well as how the women's game has evolved into a more athletic, data-driven, and competitive landscape.We also touch on the growing investment in women's golf, including the impact of PIF and Golf Saudi, and what that means not just for the sport, but for the next generation of players coming through.Carlota shares her approach to mindset, from working with a mental coach to staying focused in an increasingly noisy, social media-driven world, and why the difference at the top ultimately comes down to the mind.She reflects on career highlights, including her Solheim Cup win in Spain, and looks ahead to what's next - with one clear goal still in sight: winning a major.And at the heart of it all is a simple truth that defines her approach to the game, if it's easy, it's not worth chasing.

Il settore delle spedizioni vive una fase di forte stress strutturale, arrivato al 34° giorno della crisi nello Stretto di Hormuz e dopo oltre due anni di instabilità nel Mar Rosso. Il conflitto in Iran ha interrotto il tentativo di ritorno alla normalità lungo l’asse Canale di Suez / Mar Rosso, oggi nuovamente sotto minaccia degli Houthi. Le rotte sono state ridisegnate: si passa dal Capo di Buona Speranza o si ricorre a soluzioni ibride mare-terra, con un’impennata dei costi. Secondo Nomisma le spedizioni segnano +229% rispetto al 2023, con tempi più lunghi di 10-12 giorni e costi fino a 10.000 dollari per container. Per Alessandro Pitto la crisi è strutturale e nasce da Suez: oggi, con Hormuz, diventa uno shock sistemico che colpisce direttamente l’export europeo. I governi reagiscono: Keir Starmer ha convocato un vertice internazionale per riaprire lo stretto e garantire la sicurezza delle rotte. Il traffico resta ridotto e incerto: la crisi è ormai il risultato combinato di Suez, Hormuz ed energia. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Pitto, presidente di Fedespedi.SpaceX scalda i motori per Wall Street, Musk deposita i documenti dell'IpoNel giorno del lancio Artemis II della Nasa, Elon Musk deposita in segreto i documenti per la quotazione di SpaceX, anticipando i rivali OpenAI e Anthropic. L’operazione potrebbe raccogliere fino a 75 miliardi di dollari, con una valutazione complessiva di 1.750 miliardi, che la renderebbe la più grande Ipo di sempre, superando il record di Aramco. Le azioni potrebbero arrivare sul mercato tra giugno e luglio, con una quota significativa destinata anche agli investitori retail. A sostenere la valutazione contribuisce l’integrazione con xAI e un piano industriale molto ambizioso: aumento dei lanci Starship, sviluppo di data center nello spazio e prospettiva di una base lunare, con l’obiettivo finale del trasporto umano su Marte. Il commento è di Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Economist di Spartan Capital Securities.Dalla guerra in Iran rischi economici senza precedenti: aumentano i timori di recessioneLa guerra in Iran rischia di generare uno shock economico “senza precedenti”, paragonabile a quello del Covid in caso di conflitto prolungato, secondo gli economisti del Forum economico mondiale. La quasi chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz sta già colpendo energia, inflazione e crescita. La Bce prevede un aumento dell’inflazione oltre il 3% nel secondo trimestre 2026 e una crescita modesta, mentre Standard & Poor’s ha rivisto al ribasso le stime: l’Italia scende allo 0,4%, l’eurozona all’1%. Il governatore della Banca d’Italia Fabio Panetta avverte che le tensioni energetiche possono amplificare fragilità finanziarie già esistenti, soprattutto in presenza di alto debito pubblico. Il quadro complessivo è quello di un’economia globale esposta a rischi crescenti, tra inflazione, instabilità e rallentamento della crescita. Il commento è di Mario Deaglio, professore emerito di Economia Internazionale Università di Torino.

Silicon Bites Ep300 | 2026-03-11 | Oilpocalypse? Iran's Hormuz shock meets Russia's budget hole. How Iran's war just threw Putin a lifeline. A few weeks ago, the mood in Moscow was not triumphalist. It was anxious. Because before the Iran war detonated global oil markets, Russia's own Central Bank had already started telegraphing a much uglier reality: weaker oil, weaker exports, more budget strain, and a narrowing room for manoeuvre on rates and inflation. In February, the Bank of Russia cut its key rate to 15.5%, while official and semi-official reporting around that decision pointed to a much weaker outlook for Urals crude, with the bank's baseline effectively built around $45 oil in 2026. Public reporting at the time said Urals had fallen as low as $41 a barrel, well below the assumptions used in the Russian budget.Oilpocalypse? Or Oil Resurrection? A few weeks ago, Russia had a problem. Its war economy is powered by not so much by cash flow from making and selling products, but from hydrocarbons flow. And oil-and-gas revenues still matter enormously to the federal budget. Reuters reported last week that oil and gas revenues account for roughly a quarter to a third of Russian budget income, and that falling oil prices were already being flagged as a key fiscal risk even before the Middle East crisis went fully incandescent. Reuters also noted that Moscow's budget assumptions were under pressure from both lower oil prices and a stronger rouble, which means fewer roubles earned per export dollar.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters, “US weighs easing Russian oil sanctions to cool global price surge, sources say” — March 9, 2026.

Centrémonos nuevamente en el petróleo: Pemex comienza a subir precios mientras México espera a conocer si habrá estímulos. Aunque los precios del crudo se han ido moderando, no tanto los ánimos de las economías del G-7 y de la Agencia Internacional de Energía Mientras tanto, el CEO de Aramco mira un panorama catastrófico. Lejos de las gasolinas, en el mundo de caramelo de los eléctricos, BYD estaría explorando entrar al automovilismo deportivo.

The world's biggest producer of crude oil, the Saudi firm Aramco, has warned of "catastrophic consequences" if the Straits of Hormuz is blocked for an extended period of time. But as war rages in the middle east, and attacks on shipping severely reduce the transportation of oil and gas, Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline has emerged as a critical piece of infrastructure in the global energy system. The CEO of Maersk speaks about the shipping industry's response to US/Israel war on Iran. And Leanna Byrne hears from India where a shortage of LPG is causing headaches for the food preparation industry.

U.S. President Donald Trump hails the war effort in Iran as ‘very complete' and has suggested some oil sanctions could be eased to shore up confidence in the market. However, Trump warned Iran could be struck even harder should it attempt to further disrupt supply. G7 energy ministers are set to discuss a potential release of strategic oil reserves. The U.S. is reportedly planning for up to 3-4 million barrels to be made jointly available. Aramco CEO Amin Nasser has warned of ‘catastrophic consequences' should the conflict continue to disrupt supply.
