President Trump's recent visit to the Gulf region marked a dramatic shift from the previous administration's Middle East diplomacy. In his visit to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Trump focused on securing significant investment commitments and commercial partnerships to support the region's AI and other ambitions. The trip showcased Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy—one focused on bilateral deals rather than regional frameworks, and economic partnerships over military interventions. It also raised important questions about oil markets, geopolitical competition with China, nuclear agreements, and the future of energy prices. So what are the likely impacts of massive investment pledges from Gulf nations? Do low oil prices limit the ability to make good on them? What is the outlook for oil prices with uncertainty over OPEC+ policy, a possible Iran deal, and possible new sanctions on Russia? And what does Trump's transactional diplomacy mean for traditional alliances and regional stability? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Helima Croft, Joe McMonigle, and Karen Young about how the Trump administration is reshaping U.S. relations with Middle East countries and the long- and short-term implications it will have on energy markets and geopolitics. Helima is managing director and global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, where she leads the coverage of energy markets and geopolitical risk. Joe is a distinguished visiting fellow here at the Center on Global Energy Policy and the founder and president of the Global Center for Energy Analysis, an independent research and analysis firm. Karen is a senior research scholar here at the Center on Global Energy Policy and a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute where she focuses on the political economy of the Gulf States and energy policy.

Mit Spannung wird das Telefonat zwischen Trump und Putin erwartet, denn laut erster durchgesickerter Informationen, könnte Trump die Annexion der Krim durch Russland billigen, zum Leidwesen der Ukraine. Um 18 Uhr deutscher Zeit spricht NVIDIA CEO zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen bei Blackwell und Rubin und den KI Chip Markt. Tesla, eine der am stärksten betroffenen Aktien der jüngsten Marktkorrektur, verzeichnete am Dienstag erneut einen Kursrückgang. Die Aktie fiel vorbörslich um mehr als 3 %, nachdem RBC Capital Markets ihr Kursziel für den Elektrofahrzeug-Hersteller aufgrund der zunehmenden Konkurrenz im Elektrofahrzeugsektor gesenkt hatte. Im vergangenen Monat ist der Kurs um fast 33 % gefallen. Der S&P 500 hat letzte Woche offiziell eine Korrektur eingeleitet, konnte aber im Zuge der Erholungsrallye vom Freitag und Montag wieder deutlich Boden gutmachen.

Australia's hopes for some strengthening in growth in 2025 rest on a pickup in household spending to support the public demand currently underpinning the economy.

Interview with Rudi P. Fronk, Chairman & CEO of Seabridge Gold Inc.Recording date: 16th December 2024Seabridge Gold (NYSE:SA, TSX:SEA) is advancing KSM, the world's largest undeveloped gold-copper project, located in British Columbia. After investing over $1 billion and 20 years of development work, the company has secured key permits and indigenous support, positioning KSM for its next phase of growth.The project's 2022 prefeasibility study demonstrates impressive economics, with a planned 33-year mine life producing over 1 million ounces of gold and 178 million pounds of copper annually. The projected all-in sustaining cost of $600/oz gold (after copper credits) sits well below the industry average of $1,500/oz. With 47.3 million ounces of gold and 7.3 billion pounds of copper in reserves, KSM represents a strategic asset in the global energy transition.In July 2024, Seabridge achieved a crucial milestone by securing "substantially started" status for KSM, completing a major de-risking step. The company has engaged RBC Capital Markets to secure a joint venture partner, with discussions ongoing with major mining companies capable of developing a project of KSM's scale.Seabridge's proposed joint venture structure involves a two-phase approach: potential partners would first fund a bankable feasibility study to earn a minority interest, followed by an option to increase to a majority stake by funding construction. This structure aims to protect shareholder value while securing necessary development capital.Beyond KSM, Seabridge's portfolio includes the Courageous Lake project in Northwest Territories, hosting 11 million ounces of indicated gold resources. A 2024 PFS outlined a 12-year mine producing 200,000 ounces annually at $1,000/oz all-in costs. The company is also advancing the Iskut project in BC's Golden Triangle, which shows potential to become another significant gold-copper deposit.Under CEO Rudi Fronk's leadership, Seabridge has maintained a disciplined approach to capital allocation, with only 92 million shares outstanding despite extensive development work. Management's alignment with shareholders is demonstrated by significant insider ownership exceeding 20%.The company is well-positioned to benefit from favorable gold market dynamics, with gold reaching all-time highs in 2024. While central bank demand remains strong, Fronk notes the absence of Western investors in gold equities presents a significant opportunity for re-rating as these investors return to the sector. With gold mining stocks trading at multi-decade lows relative to bullion prices, Seabridge offers investors exposure to a world-class asset portfolio in an improving market environment.View Seabridge Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/seabridge-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

With over $1 trillion in transactions under his belt, Larry Grafstein, Deputy Chairman, Global Investment Banking, RBC Capital Markets, shares career insights and deal strategies. This episode was originally recorded with The Investment Banking Leaders Podcast on September 23, 2024.
Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the world's seventh-largest producer of crude oil, have fueled concern over oil price volatility for the past few weeks. But the oil market isn't reacting to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as dramatically as it has in the past. Despite an ongoing war in Gaza and Israel, Israel's attack on Hezbollah, and attacks by Houthis in the Red Sea, the price of oil hasn't changed much. China's slowing economy and the U.S.' increased domestic production of oil seem to be keeping prices down… at least for now. Still, renewed fighting between Israel and Iran has oil markets feeling nervous. A regional war could drive up prices, impacting the global economy. In an interview recorded yesterday, host Jason Bordoff talks with Helima Croft and Javier Blas about the current state of oil markets, and how global instability could impact their future. Helima is a managing director and head of global commodity strategy and Middle East and North Africa research at RBC Capital Markets. Helima joined RBC Capital Markets from Barclays, where she was a managing director and head of North American commodities research. Javier is an opinion columnist for Bloomberg covering energy and commodities. Javier is coauthor of the 2021 book “The World for Sale: Money, Power and the Traders Who Barter the Earth's Resources.”
Equities just notched their fifth straight week of gains as optimism persists and the bull run enters its second year. Fundstrat's Tom Lee, NB Private Wealth's Shannon Saccocia, and RBC Capital Markets' Lori Calvasina share their expectations for Q4 and beyond. Plus, Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives defends his Tesla bull case on a difficult day for that stock. And, former Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester reveals her expectations for rate cuts as inflation cools.
Tesla ($TSLA) celebrará su evento "We Robot" esta noche, donde se espera que presente avances importantes en tecnología autónoma. Aunque Tesla ha mantenido en secreto el diseño de su robotaxi, se especula que mostrará un nuevo modelo más económico, un "robovan" capaz de transportar hasta 12 personas, una versión mejorada del robot humanoide Optimus y otros casos de uso de inteligencia artificial. Analistas como Dan Ives de Wedbush anticipan que Tesla revelará tecnologías autónomas revolucionarias, pero existe el riesgo de decepcionar a los inversores si no se cumplen las expectativas. IBM ($IBM) recibió atención después de que RBC Capital Markets aumentara su precio objetivo a $250, citando una mejora en el sentimiento hacia la empresa. A pesar de una ligera caída en las acciones antes de la apertura del mercado, el analista Matthew Swanson mantuvo su calificación de "Outperform". Se espera que IBM presente sólidos resultados de flujo de caja libre en su informe del tercer trimestre, impulsado por mayores ventas de software, especialmente de Red Hat, y un rendimiento positivo en inteligencia artificial generativa y gastos de infraestructura. Amazon ($AMZN) and Apple ($AAPL) have reached an agreement to offer Apple TV+ as an add-on subscription to Amazon's Prime Video service in the U.S. starting later this month, priced at $9.99 per month. This partnership allows Apple to further expand its streaming reach as it competes with larger platforms like Netflix ($NFLX), Disney+ ($DIS), and Amazon Prime Video itself. The deal also marks a shift for Apple, which typically bundles Apple TV+ with other services, and will allow subscribers to access popular original content like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and live sports, including MLS matches. United Airlines ($UAL) está planeando una expansión internacional significativa para 2025, con nuevas rutas a destinos poco comunes como Senegal, Mongolia, Groenlandia y Palaos, buscando atraer a viajeros que desean alternativas a ciudades tradicionales como París, Roma y Tokio. Los nuevos servicios incluirán vuelos desde Newark a Palermo, Faro, Madeira, Bilbao y Nuuk, que comenzarán entre mayo y junio. Además, United lanzará vuelos directos desde Washington Dulles a Dakar, Senegal, y desde Tokio a Ulán Bator, Mongolia, con vuelos durante todo el año a Palaos. Esta expansión es parte de la estrategia de United para diferenciarse de otras aerolíneas globales ofreciendo una red diversa de destinos, lo que también impulsa la demanda de sus tarjetas de recompensas. -Stellantis ($STLA) se espera que haga algunos cambios en la gestión. -Las proyecciones de OpenAI ($AI) sugieren que no habrá beneficios anuales hasta 2029. -TD Bank ($TD) enfrenta multas de $3 Billones y un límite de activos en un acuerdo en EE. UU. -El huracán Milton pone en riesgo $30 Billones de deuda municipal en Florida.
