On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss a rapidly widening global crisis as tankers are struck in the Strait of Hormuz, Russia escalates its assault on Ukraine, and Americans get slammed by record-high diesel prices and surging gas costs. The brothers break down Trump's claims that he “controls” the Strait even as he moves thousands more U.S. troops and another carrier strike group toward the Middle East, raising the stakes of an already catastrophic war. They also examine Trump's threats against U.S. allies over emergency fuel supplies, his bogus $54 billion South Korea announcement, and Canada's accelerating push to reduce its dependence on the United States. Finally, they cut through the propaganda surrounding the escalating conflicts and examine Trump's increasingly desperate message as the midterms close in.

A.M. Edition for Oct. 1. The Trump administration rolls out a new plan to lower drug prices in Medicare, while also sending out $500 checks to nearly 100 million people, a month before voters head to the polls in the midterm elections. Plus, bonds sell off globally, with yields in the U.S., France and U.K. hitting fresh records today. WSJ's Nicolas Miller explains what that means for mortgage rates and homebuyers. And as test scores plummet, WSJ investigative reporter Shalini Ramachandran details the growing backlash against widespread use of Google's AI tools in American classrooms. Daniel Bach hosts.

NK News Data Correspondent Anton Sokolin and Lead Correspondent Shreyas Reddy join the podcast this week to discuss Russia's new ambassador to North Korea, Pyongyang's latest cyber operations and the growing dispute between Seoul and Kyiv over two North Korean prisoners of war. Anton explains what the arrival of veteran diplomat Andrei Podelyshev signals about Moscow's priorities in Pyongyang, how his lower-profile style may differ from longtime predecessor and why his first visits to Soviet and DPRK war memorials underscore the increasingly institutionalized relationship between the two countries. Shreyas then breaks down North Korea's suspected role in the year's largest cryptocurrency heist so far, which saw roughly $352 million stolen from exchange Bitget and pushed estimated DPRK-linked crypto theft above $1 billion in 2026. The episode concludes with a discussion on Ukraine's transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea and the diplomatic fallout after President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly revealed the move at the U.N. General Assembly. They also discuss what intelligence the soldiers can provide about North Korea's deployment to Russia and what their resettlement in South Korea could look like after an unprecedented journey from the battlefield in Kursk. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

Trump gathers senators, governors, and a lineup of energy CEOs to announce one of the largest infrastructure packages of his presidency, nearly $200 billion from South Korea funding eight new nuclear plants, a massive Texas gas facility, and the long promised Alaska LNG pipeline, a project politicians have talked about for five decades. Expect genuine excitement from Alaska's delegation, some spirited jabs at a decoy Senate candidate sharing Dan Sullivan's name, and plenty of credit passed around between cabinet secretaries. The Q&A afterward goes everywhere: a wild, almost unbelievable story about a plumber who allegedly saved a hijacked flight, Iran's crumbling military, the Supreme Court's deportation ruling, a rebrand of "artificial intelligence" to "Super Intelligence," and a pointed take on a suspicious Los Angeles mayoral race. Dense on policy, loose on tangents, this one covers an enormous amount of ground even by Trump press conference standards.
Brittany Brown and Mei Fong from Windfall Trust talk with Paul Fain about how the U.S. should be preparing for AI-driven job displacement. Windfall Trust is a policy research organization that runs scenario planning exercises to help governments and institutions prepare for AI—comparing the potential economic disruption to a natural disaster. Brown worked at the White House and the Pentagon during four presidential administrations. Fong is a former reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for her work at The Wall Street Journal. Chapters 00:00 What Windfall Trust does: preparing for AI's economic disruption and making sure the benefits are broadly shared. 01:15 How prepared is the U.S.? The hurricane analogy: disasters hit hardest where systems are already broken. 03:40 How close is the tsunami? A "low hire, low fire" job market, hiring drops in exposed fields, and why current data misses it. 06:10 "The dam broke": The existential-risk debate, the either/or framing, and Mei's comparison to China's one-child policy. 09:10 Scenario planning, not prediction: Brittany on tabletop exercises at the Pentagon and White House, and the Russia–Ukraine example. 14:55 Inside a Windfall scenario exercise: 2028–2030 forecasts, a K-shaped economy, South Korea's chip windfall, and the U.S. tying health insurance and benefits to jobs. 16:55 Beyond unemployment numbers: Job quality, gig work, and who holds power and benefits from AI. 19:10 Getting everyone in the room: Technologists, economists, policymakers, and labor leaders, an 11-year-old's view of an AI documentary, and how similar D.C. and Silicon Valley turn out to be. 27:00 Has the Overton window shifted? Going beyond retraining: portable benefits, apprenticeships, incentives, and whether job training belongs in the solution. 32:55 Acting now: College costs and debt, states as policy testbeds, and whether support is framed as welfare or as something people are owed. 35:55 Trust in government: Findings from a 60+ country survey, including that most people would choose a job over a basic income. 37:55 Reasons for hope: The Great Society, the CDC's fight against malaria, and a window that's still open. 41:40 The data center backlash: Can grassroots opposition turn into a positive push on economic impacts? The "tip of the iceberg" idea. 45:05 How fast this needs to happen: Speed compared with past technology shifts, "no regrets" moves, and AI already affecting low-wage workers. 48:35 How to get involved: The midterms, AI in your own workplace, Flock cameras, and holding elected officials accountable. 51:05 Wrap-up: Meeting Brittany's puppy, Beats.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan, Reegs and Cris kick off Dan week with Bong Joon-ho's 2003 South Korean crime thriller Memories of Murder, a bleak, funny and deeply unsettling film inspired by the real Hwaseong serial murders.The film takes us to rural South Korea in the late 1980s, where a local police squad is completely unprepared for a serial-killer investigation. The opening crime scene says it all: a body in a drainage ditch, farmers and kids wandering around, clothes being handled, evidence being trampled, and the one useful footprint destroyed by a tractor. From there, the dads follow a case built on hunches, violence, false confessions and the painful absence of proper forensic tools.At the centre is Detective Park, played by Song Kang-ho, who believes he can spot guilt by looking into someone's eyes. He clashes with Detective Seo from Seoul, who arrives with more method and a belief in evidence, but the longer the case goes on, the more the film shows how easily procedure can collapse into obsession. Park starts as the thug with the hunches, Seo starts as the rational outsider, and by the end those roles have become horribly unstable.The dads dig into the police culture that Bong presents almost as black comedy: suspects beaten into saying what officers want to hear, tape recorders paused so confessions can be corrected, footprints fabricated, and vulnerable people dragged into the woods and threatened. It is often absurdly funny in the moment, but the joke curdles because the consequences are catastrophic. People are brutalised, leads are lost, evidence is ruined, and the killer keeps going.They also talk through the killer's ritual: rainy nights, women in red, a particular binding method, underwear over the head, and a recurring radio song request that becomes one of the investigation's key clues. The female officer is the one who pieces together the song pattern, despite being ignored and patronised by the men around her, which makes her one of the few genuinely competent figures in the film.As the case develops, the film keeps swerving between tension and farce. There is the traumatised survivor who remembers the killer's soft hands, the suspect in women's underwear who turns out to be guilty of something much less murderous but still deeply awkward, and the quiet factory worker who seems to fit too many pieces of the puzzle while still leaving the police without proof. The dads especially focus on the way Bong refuses to turn the film into a satisfying puzzle-box mystery. The point is not just who did it, but what happens when the people chasing him are violent, panicked and under-equipped.The ending leaves a mark. Years later, Park returns to the original site and learns that an ordinary-looking man had recently visited and said he had done something there long ago. The killer, if that is who it was, looked completely normal. Park's final stare into the camera becomes the film's last accusation: at the killer, at the failed system, and maybe at the audience too.Verdicts are broadly warm but mixed around the edges. Dan admires the direction and performances but does not rank it among his favourite Korean films. Cris finds the tonal shifts confusing and thinks the film is too long. Sidey thinks it drags a little and shows Bong still refining his craft, but he enjoys it and gives it a strong recommend. Everyone recognises the power of a film that turns a serial-killer story into something stranger and more troubling: a blackly comic study of incompetence, brutality and unresolved guilt.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 135-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,767 on turnover of 10.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday as investors reacted to speculation (推測) that rising US Treasury yields (美國公債殖利率) and international crude oil prices could push America's central bank to hike interest rates as it seeks to battle inflation. Koo says America is showing "goodwill" over the late delivery of F-16Vs Defense Minister Wellington Koo says the United States is "showing goodwill (善意)" over the late delivery of F-16V Block 70 fighter jets and two sides are still in talks over the matter. The statement comes after the first two of the 66 F-16Vs Taiwan purchased departed from the U-S on August 17 and reportedly remain in Hawaii. According to Koo, the contract for the fighter jets did not include financial penalties (罰款) for late delivery - meaning Taiwan will not receive financial compensation (賠償). The Air Force spent 247.2-billion N-T between 2020 and 2026 to procure 66 new F-16V Block 70 jets from the U-S. The jets were originally scheduled to all be delivered to Taiwan by the end of this year. MOL to extend paid marriage leave to 14 days The Ministry of Labor will be extending paid marriage leave (有薪婚假) from eight to 14 days from tomorrow. According to the ministry's Department of Labor Standards and Equal Employment, the change was proposed through amendments to the Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers and is has undergone a seven-day public notice period. The department says for the additional days - from the ninth to the 14th day employers are still required by law to pay wages (工資), and after making those payments, the employers can apply to the government for subsidies. The expanded leave will apply equally to Taiwanese and foreign nationals as long as they are covered by the Labor Standards Act. However, migrant domestic helpers and live-in caregivers are not be eligible because they are not covered by the Act. NKorea Rejects SKorean Findings on Mine Planting The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected South Korean findings that North Korea likely planted the land mines (地雷) that injured three South Korean soldiers last week. She threatened to retaliate if the South fires at North Korean troops conducting border fortification work. The statement by Kim Yo Jong came after South Korea's military on Monday announced a preliminary assessment that the blasts were caused by North Korean mines following a joint inspection with the U.S.-led United Nations Command. South Korean Defense Minister told lawmakers Tuesday that North Korea's placement of the mines likely violated the armistice agreement (停戰協定) that ended fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War. DRC ebola cases surpass 8,000 The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed (超過) eight thousand for the first time, with nearly four thousand deaths recorded — almost half of them outside health facilities. Chris Ocamringa in Kinshasa says the Health Ministry's latest assessment shows the outbreak has reached seven provinces, with three of the worst-affected areas also engulfed by the war between M23 rebels (叛軍) and government forces.

What if the problem isn't competition itself—but what happens when competition becomes disconnected from cooperation? In this episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, psychologist Gunter Swoboda examines our drive to compete and why constantly measuring ourselves against other people can undermine the very growth we're trying to achieve.Competition isn't inherently destructive. But when it becomes untethered from collaboration, shared purpose and mutual respect, the goal can quietly shift.Instead of asking “How can I improve?”, we begin asking:“How do I rank?”And those are two very different psychological orientations.Gunter explores the distinction between ego involvement and task involvement within achievement psychology.With ego involvement, success depends heavily upon comparison. Did I win? Did I outperform someone else? Where do I stand in the hierarchy?Task involvement redirects that competitive energy toward mastery, learning and personal improvement.The competition hasn't necessarily disappeared.The opponent has changed.Instead of constantly trying to surpass someone else, we can begin competing with the person we were yesterday.As Gunter puts it:“Task involvement is about your own growth, not others' ranking.”The episode also explores why cooperation doesn't necessarily sit in opposition to competition. In Gunter's framing, cooperation can provide a broader ethical structure within which healthy competition operates.Because sustainable achievement doesn't require somebody else to lose.Whether we're talking about work, leadership, relationships or everyday interactions, many of us may be competing far more often than we realize.Who gets credit? Who gets the last word? Who appears more successful? Who was right? Who won?Recognizing those moments gives us an opportunity to redirect the instinct.The question becomes less: “Did I beat them?” And more:“Did I get better?”That shift—from winning to growing—can create a healthier relationship with achievement, other people and ultimately ourselves.And stay through the end of the episode, as Gunter shares what's coming next for Inspire Change while he's away—and hands the microphones over to Showrunner Miranda Spigener-Sapon and Co-Executive Producer DeVonna Prinzi for the October launch of our brand-new series: THE FILMS THAT MADE USChapter HighlightsIntroduction: Competition and CooperationWhen Competition Becomes ToxicHierarchy, Comparison and RankCooperation as the Foundation for Healthy CompetitionAchievement Goals: Ego vs. Task InvolvementWhy Task Involvement Is More SustainableShifting the Goal from Winning to GrowingApplying Higher Competition in Everyday LifeWhat's Next: Introducing The Films That Made UsGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Fairborn, Grafton, Cleveland, and Cincinatti for holding Ohio's spot at #2 on the Top 10 USA listeners list.

Sitting behind the resolute desk, President Donald Trump announced $54 billion is coming from South Korea to Alaska’s proposed LNG pipeline project, using it as a pitch to Alaskans to re-elect Sen. Dan Sullivan. A federal grand jury has indicted a Kodiak physician on five counts of tax evasion, alleging he concealed cash income from his medical clinic, instructed employees to destroy records, and lied to investigators. Andreea Koski said the brown bear that’s been roaming their Eagle River neighborhood is the biggest she’s ever seen. Early Wednesday morning it visited her family’s home and left behind damage.
Send us your feedback — we're listeningGalatians 5:22 — The Fruit of the Spirit: An Early Evening Prayer for Peace When the Day Has Been Difficult Themes: Peace · Love · Self-Control Scripture Galatians 5:22 — The Fruit of the Spirit “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.” Spoken Prayer Father, as evening comes, we look back over the day. Perhaps it has been good. Perhaps it has been difficult. Maybe somebody said something that hurt, a plan went wrong, or the pressure of the day brought out emotions we wish we had handled differently. Lord, meet people in South Korea, Spain, Zimbabwe, Austria, Botswana and the United States. Bring peace to homes where tension has followed people through the door. Bring patience where frustration has taken hold, and kindness where words have become sharp. Jesus, we want Your character to shape us. We do not simply want peace when everything is peaceful; we want the peace of Christ when circumstances are difficult. Holy Spirit, grow Your fruit within us. Where anger needs surrender, give us humility. Where disappointment has become resentment, bring grace. Where we reacted too quickly, help us make things right. Teach us that self-control is not weakness; it is strength submitted to God. Father, let love have more authority in our hearts than irritation. Let kindness become stronger than frustration. Let patience give us room to breathe before we speak. God of Israel, bring Your peace into our homes tonight. Help families listen to one another. Help friends forgive one another. Help us recognise the person behind the behaviour and respond with compassion. Jesus, we place this day into Your hands. We cannot change every conversation that has already happened, but we can surrender our hearts now. Let the Holy Spirit continue His work within us. As this evening settles, let Your peace become deeper, Your love become clearer, and Your character become more visible in us. In Jesus' name, Amen. Gentle pause before the 8:00 p.m. prayer. Blessing May the Holy Spirit fill your home with peace tonight, soften difficult conversations, and grow the character of Christ within you. About This Prayer An early evening prayer for peace after a difficult day. Galatians 5:22 directs our attention towards the fruit the Holy Spirit produces within a life surrendered to God.

SMART'S TINY #2 HAS SURPRISINGLY SERIOUS ENGINEERINGsmart's new sub-3-metre electric #2 uses rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution, five-link independent rear suspension and a compact 11-in-1 electric-drive unit to maximise cabin space and manoeuvrability. Its 35.8 kWh CATL battery targets about 300 km WLTP range and 10–80% charging in 20 minutes, while seven airbags and a body made from more than 78% high-strength steel underpin its safety pitch ahead of the 12 October Paris debut.RIVIAN GAINS WASHINGTON LICENCE FOR DIRECT SALESRivian has obtained a Washington motor vehicle dealer licence allowing it to sell directly through company-owned locations, although it has not said when in-state sales, test drives or deliveries will begin. It is also preparing a showroom and service centre with 13 service bays and 21 chargers for an expected early-spring 2027 opening, serving a state with almost 10,000 registered Rivians.USED-DIESEL VALUES FALL AS DIESEL COSTS AROUND 14% MOREUK diesel prices are around 14% higher than petrol, contributing to falling used-diesel values as motorists reconsider whether the fuel still makes economic sense. Higher fuel costs following geopolitical disruption and the arrival of cheaper EVs are accelerating diesel's decline, although Britain's 4.8 million diesel vans have had fewer alternatives until the recent arrival of longer-range electric vans.PG&E WILL PAY GM EV DRIVERS TO HELP TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE GRIDGM and PG&E are offering eligible Northern and Central California buyers of new Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC EVs a free GM home charger, although customers must pay installation costs. Drivers using participating chargers and OnStar can receive a $15 monthly bill credit plus up to another $50 for allowing PG&E's Charge Manager software to shift charging towards periods of lower grid demand or cheaper electricity.HYUNDAI: “YOU MUST BE IN THE GAME” ON SOLID-STATE BATTERIESHyundai will continue developing solid-state batteries despite R&D chief Manfred Harrer saying he does not expect their raw-material costs to become suitable for mass-market vehicles within five years. Hyundai is working internally and with partners including Solid Power, with Harrer expecting small-volume halo vehicles using solid-state packs to reach the market within that period while broader adoption remains further away.HYUNDAI TESTS 200 KWH USED-BATTERY STORAGEHyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution are testing a 200 kWh stationary storage system using retired batteries from E-GMP vehicles at a fast-charging site in South Korea. The pilot will charge the batteries during off-peak periods and discharge during high demand, testing whether used EV packs can safely and economically reduce grid peaks and charging-station costs.POWERCO DELAYS $7-BILLION ST. THOMAS BATTERY FACTORY BY TWO YEARSVolkswagen's PowerCo has delayed the opening of its $7-billion St. Thomas battery factory in Ontario by two years, citing changing market demand, technological developments and Volkswagen Group strategy. Construction is continuing on the 16-million-square-foot plant, which has received commitments of $700 million from Canada's federal government and $500 million from Ontario.BOSCH WARNS COSTLY BATTERY REPAIRS COULD SHORTEN EV LIVESBosch warns that ageing EVs could be scrapped prematurely if owners cannot economically repair individual battery components once their original warranties expire. It argues that module-level repairs could keep otherwise usable cars on the road, avoiding situations where the cost of replacing an entire battery exceeds the vehicle's value.KIA PV5 CHASSIS UK CONVERSIONS DUE FOURTH QUARTER 2026Kia has introduced the PV5 Chassis, an E-GMP.S-based electric commercial-vehicle platform designed for specialist body conversions including UK tipper, dropside and Box/Luton versions from TGS Automotive Group. UK models will use the 71.2 kWh Long Range battery exclusively, while other European markets will also receive a 51.1 kWh Standard Range version.THREE-QUARTERS OF 20 LEADING UK PHEVS CANNOT USE RAPID CHARGERSChargeUK says three-quarters of the UK's 20 best-selling plug-in hybrid models cannot use rapid chargers, with only 26% of vehicles sold across those models capable of charging at 50 kW or more and none supporting 150 kW ultra-rapid charging. The charging-industry group argues that limited public charging capability encourages PHEV drivers to rely on petrol and warns the government against treating higher PHEV sales as equivalent to wider electrification.VERTICAL OPENS £1.5M VALO ASSEMBLY CENTREVertical Aerospace has opened a £1.5 million, 60,000-square-foot assembly centre at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire to build Valo electric aircraft for certification testing. Assembly of the first certification aircraft is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, with commercial certification targeted for 2029 and around 1,500 pre-orders reported from customers including major airlines and aviation operators.

Join host Ryan Walters as he goes into the tunnel with players in the ultimate 'what if' scenario: seconds away from walking onto the pitch for a World Cup Final. As their career flashes before their eyes, they discuss the matches, milestones, moments, mistakes, and people that shaped who they are. This is football in full life, in full vision. This is Tunnel Vision. In this episode, Ryan chats with Park Jungbin, the South Korean midfielder whose career has taken him from the Bundesliga, across Europe, back to South Korea, and eventually Southeast Asia. Now at Sabah FC, Park looks back on the successes, setbacks and experiences that have shaped a career he believes is only just entering its second half. They dive into: How Germany shaped him as both a player and professional Making his Bundesliga debut against Bayern Munich The setbacks, failures and sleepless nights behind football's so-called "dream job" Why his experiences in Europe and Korea have prepared him for the second half of his career From leaving South Korea as a teenager to building a career across two continents, this is a story about resilience, perspective and why Park still believes he has plenty left to give.
Silversea has delayed Silver Moon's departure from Tokyo by two days as Typhoon Dujuan approaches Japan, dropping the ship's Hiroshima call, cutting Osaka from an overnight stay to a day call and moving Kochi back by one day on the 14-night voyage. Busan is courting more overnight cruise calls with what the city describes as South Korea's first round-the-clock cruise-terminal operating system, after six overnight calls so far this year including the residence ship The World, with Azamara Pursuit scheduled to become the seventh. And Travelmarvel has returned to Nile River cruising after about a decade with the maiden voyage of the 124-passenger Travelmarvel Sirius, which departed Luxor for Aswan with Egyptology-qualified tour directors leading shore excursions and 2028 departures now open to American travelers.
In today's episode, Dave draws on 45 years and over 100 countries to argue why scarcity still matters in a world obsessed with infinite money and AI. He makes the case that the world trades at a discount while America sits at record valuations. To close, Dave explains why undervalued commodities eventually catch up with inflation.

In 2017, data analyst Wesley Warshawer was shocked by a poll that said 50% of Americans supported Donald Trump, about half lived with a gun their home, and a third believed in a literal reading of The Book of Genesis.This didn't match the views of anyone he knew in Silicon Valley, California. What he read about our country's deep divides led him to sell his apartment in San Jose and spend 18 months living in some of the most conservative parts of America.What he found was that most people across the country, from right wing conservatives to lefty liberals live by a similar ethical code. “I was so shocked to find that we were so similar”, Wesley told us. To his surprise, the bubbles in California and in rural America turned out to be quite alike.In this episode we explore whether Americans are a lot less divided and more friendly than we've been told. We consider what can be learned about America when we listen and acknowledge people with different political beliefs. We also discuss this provocative question: Do Braver Angels and other groups in the bridging community have it wrong about how polarized we are?Wesley Warshawer shares moving stories about what he learned from his travels to Bismark, North Dakota, Biloxi and Clarksdale, Mississippi, and other conservative parts of America.“I always think it's so paradoxical that the best way to learn about yourself is to meet other people. And the best way to learn about your bubble is to leave it.”Find many more of our podcasts at http://www.howdowefixit.me. We report on the people, projects, and ideas of Braver Angels and others who are working every day to bridge divides, rebuild America's civic muscle, and make courageous citizenship the accepted norm. Most episodes are 30 minutes or less.Our guest, Wesley Warshawer, is a business analyst in Silicon Valley's semiconductor industry, a Fulbright Scholar to South Korea, essayist, podcast host, and public speaker. He loves his work. For a living he analyzes data and communicates about it. Wesley has looked for wisdom in travel— across the world, or simply across town, meeting a new person or experiencing a new neighborhood. “Outside your comfort zone", he says, “you are a sponge to personal insight and growth.”Our host Richard Davies spent four decades as a Radio Correspondent at ABC News.

Diesel is at the center of an international supply squeeze, with prices rising to historic highs. Andrew Sheets and Martijn Rats unpack why this industrial fuel matters far beyond the pump.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Martijn Rats: And I'm Martijn Rats, Head of Commodity Research at Morgan Stanley. Andrew Sheets: Today, the secret life of diesel and why there's so much attention on it. It's Thursday, September 24th at 2pm in London. Diesel is a fuel that I think a lot of investors may be aware of but not familiar with, so to speak. It's often the other price that you see when you're driving down the road. But Martijn, it's incredibly important for the industrial side of the economy and unusually disrupted by current geopolitical events. And so, I'd like to really start at the top, or technically the middle of the barrel, so to speak. What is diesel and what makes it so special? Martijn Rats: Yeah. When people talk about diesel at the moment, they really talk about sort of three things combined. They talk about outright diesel, as well as jet fuel and also heating oil. These are effectively part of the same pool of molecules coming out of the refinery. And so, when you look at that sort of pool of molecules, you talk about the things that fuel trucks, trains, ships, tractors in agriculture, excavators, generators, home heating. It is a molecule that has a tremendously broad range of applications. It's really the fuel of the industrial economy. One of the characteristics of diesel is that it has very high energy density. In contrast to, say, gasoline, electrifying the uses of diesel is harder because it carries so much punch. Andrew Sheets: And why has there been so much on diesel recently, given the current energy disruption in these geopolitical events? Martijn Rats: Yeah. So, the global refining system normally processes about 85 million barrels a day of crude oil and from that, it makes a range of products. Diesel is at the heart of it. But it's only one of many. At the moment, we are short in terms of refinery runs, i.e., the amount of crude that refineries process to the extent of about somewhere between 4 to 5 million barrels a day. So, 4 to 5 million barrels a day on a base of 85, you're talking about 5 to 6 percent. That may not sound like a lot, but in the world of commodities, where prices really depend on relatively small changes, that is actually a very large amount. That sort of 4 or 5 million barrels a day of refineries that are currently not running, they are fifty-fifty, either in the Middle East or in Russia. In the Middle East, it is a story of the Strait of Hormuz and refineries locked behind the strait, and they can't export their products. Some of them are also damaged, although information on that is hard to find. And then the other half that is out is in Russia, where they are effectively taken out by Ukrainian drone attacks. In total, that's sort of 4 to 5 million barrels a day of refining capacity that is not running. 40 percent of their output would typically be diesel, so we are missing something like 1.5 million barrels a day of global diesel supply, all into the seaborne market. Now, I mentioned the seaborne market because the seaborne market is the traded market where traders buy and sell cargoes to each other. And that is where, from a physical market perspective, price formation takes place. The global seaborne diesel market is an 8 million barrel a day market. And so given that all of the supply we're missing is also into the seaborne market, the comparison to make is to say that we're missing about, sort of, close to 1.5 million barrels out of an 8 million barrel a day traded… Andrew Sheets: A pretty large percentage, yeah. Martijn Rats: Absolutely. That is very, very large, and that is hard to offset. Every other refinery around the world that can run is running flat out. The margins are all-time highs. So, there's a lot of incentive to run very hard.But nevertheless, it's left the market very, very tight. Andrew Sheets: So, that tightness in the market shows up via price. And just talk us through a little bit about what has happened to the price of diesel and its related fuels. You know, I think a lot of listeners are probably more familiar with the price of gasoline. They're more familiar with the barrel of oil that's often the quoted benchmark in the market. But what has been happening to these diesel prices? Martijn Rats: Yeah. So, the way to really tell that story is to look at what we call the crack spread. So, making a barrel of refined product, including diesel, of course, you start with crude oil. So, the price of crude oil impacts the price of the refined product. So, quite often we focus more on the uplift from the price of crude to get to the price of the refined product, and we call that the crack spread. Under normal conditions, say a year ago, crude was $70, and then the price of diesel was another $20 on top of that. And so, you got to diesel being 70 plus 20 is $90 per barrel. At the moment, crude is higher. Crude is about $100 per barrel. Crude has rallied. But the increment on top of it has spiked. So, a couple of days ago we got to all-time high nominal term diesel prices over $200 per barrel. So, we're now having a situation that is [$]100 for crude plus another [$]100 to get to the diesel price. So, the crack spread is something that normally lives in a range of, like when the diesel market is weak, maybe sort of $8, $9, $10. When the market is normal, close to $20. If it's very strong, $25 to $30. Now, that incremental crack spread is $100 per barrel, and that is something that we've not seen before. It is stronger than it was in 2022, when we also had a moment of a severe diesel crisis. Didn't last very long in 2022, but the crack spread got to sort of $60, $70 per barrel. So, that highlights the extent to which the price of diesel has rallied. Andrew Sheets: So, Martijn, you mentioned this crack spread. You know, I think if we all go back to our organic chemistry, this is the refineries literally cracking a barrel of oil down into constituent distillates and other pieces. But given those very high prices for diesel, why don't the refiners just refine more? Why aren't the incentives increasing production? What's getting in the way of that? Martijn Rats: Yeah. That's just a matter of like the physical reality of the system. So, when you build a refinery, you often quite think about two things. What crudes are available to me. So, if you're in the United States, you have U.S. shale crudes, or you have crude from Mexico, Canada. And based on those, you then also think about, you know, what is my consumption, where I am likely to be.And based on that, you build a certain configuration – that converts the crudes that you can buy into the products that your specific customer set might need. You fix the configuration of the refinery at the time you build it. And once it's built, there is a little bit of flexibility to say, "Oh, well, maybe at the moment I make a little bit more diesel and a little bit less gasoline," and change the – what we call the yield of these products. Like a little bit within, you know, a few percentage points range. But that flexibility is small, so the only thing you can do to make more diesel is to run the refinery at 100 percent utilization. That is currently where we are. That has already happened. And then you put in the crude that you buy, you get the products for which your refinery is then designed, and that's it.There are no other… Andrew Sheets: You can't just turn a big dial that says more diesel. Martijn Rats: No. You can't say, "Oh, well, I don't like my naphtha output this week, so let's not make any naphtha for the chemical industry. Let's only make diesel." It's not contained in the barrel of crude and the kits that you have – takes many years to rebuild and probably very expensive.So you're kind of then stuck. I mean, it is what it is. Andrew Sheets: So Martijn, where is this leaving the global story? You know, if we think about just the relative price of this. Again, you mentioned it's an incredibly important fuel for agriculture, for industry… What's it looking like kind of across the major regions? Martijn Rats: Yeah. Look, it leaves a very tight market at the moment. I mean, it's relatively straightforward. The price of diesel depends very heavily on how the geopolitics of the Middle East and Russia sort of play out. So, in terms of the traded price that you see on the screen every day, it swings around very heavily with how the market foresees the future with regards to these two conflicts. So, one week things flare up, the price of diesel rallies. The following week the market feels a bit more optimistic maybe around a deal, so then things sort of sell off. So, we have to live with that sort of geopolitical sort of reality. But other than that, those who can afford it pay a high price to effectively erode demand amongst sets of consumers who cannot afford these higher prices. You see a substitution, for example, what I thought was very interesting last week. Some of the train companies in the United States were talking about a truck-to-train substitution of very high levels of cargo loads on trains because simply the diesel on trucks is too expensive.So, you see those behavioral changes come through. Andrew Sheets: But that point about demand destruction is really important because, you know, a point that you've made over many years is this idea that the solution to higher prices is higher prices. That that reduces the demand for the fuel, that helps these markets recorrect. And yet, you know, we're hitting prices in diesel that are near all-time highs, and we've yet to see that demand really pull back a lot. A lot of economic indicators are still pretty good. What does that tell you maybe about where the demand destruction price really is? Martijn Rats: Making estimates of the demand destruction price sort of bottom up in a sort of modeling sense, going sort of end use by end use, has turned out on many occasions to be very, very challenging analysis. But we can sort of look at the market and say under certain conditions, prices have spiked and what were these conditions? And we can sort of try to learn something from that. We had a very severe diesel crisis in 2022 when the Russia-Ukraine conflict started, and effectively Russian diesel had to be significantly rerouted around the world. We got to $200 per barrel. Andrew Sheets: Right about where we are now… Martijn Rats: Right about where we are. That didn't last very long. Big spike to [$]200, and it sold off. In March-April, we got to [$]200, and it sold off. And now, a couple of days ago, we reached that again. And so, in the trading behavior of the market, it does look like what happens at [$]200 – there either is demand destruction. Or there may not be demand destruction in the fullness of time, but buyers just take a pause. And this makes it quite difficult to kind of really unearth this issue in the sense that in the end, a lot of customers also have inventories of their own. Like airlines have tanks with jet fuel. In Europe, you have a lot of households that use heating oil for home heating if they're not connected to the gas grid. And they have tanks in their gardens. And so, there are a lot of tertiary inventories, as we call them, where people can effectively afford to stop buying for a little bit and see how things pan out, and then they buy later. And so, the actual data points that we have on demand destruction, even at this price, they're actually not that convincing.There seems to be some... There clearly is in China. In China, we have seen signs of demand destruction at these very high prices. But in the rest of the world, either there are subsidies in place, or people draw on their own inventories for a bit. Or they just absorb it because it's an indisplaceable fuel in the short run. Actually, it's not all that convincing that there is a lot of demand destruction even at these prices. Andrew Sheets: So, Martijn, the last thing I want to ask you about is – this is a fuel that is central to a lot of key industrial processes, as we've discussed, agriculture, trucking. What is the risk that the countries that have more of this refining capacity stop exporting it to the rest of the world. Try to keep more of it to themselves in order to cushion the domestic price impact? Martijn Rats: That risk is very real. We've already seen some of this earlier on in the Hormuz crisis in March and April. For example, China at some point announced an export ban on all refined products. In retrospect, that wasn't quite as forcefully implemented as it was announced. But nevertheless, the Chinese government did announce that, and we saw a initially large decline. The government of South Korea at some point banned refined product exports. In the United States, there are voices that say that this might be something that the government should consider. I would say, though, about the U.S. diesel export ban, there is a good reason why this has not happened yet.Because the United States is broadly balanced in gasoline, domestic production of gasoline by the refiners. It broadly equals to domestic consumption. And there is a tiny little bit of exports. But in the overall scheme of things, it's not much. In diesel, it has a very large surplus, which is exported. But if there were to be an export ban and that diesel cannot leave the country – for a little bit, you can store it. But you'd fill up those tanks very, very quickly. When those tanks are full, you then need to slow down the refineries because otherwise you simply have diesel that you cannot get rid of. If you slow down the refineries, and this is how we come back to the start of the discussion, the mix of products that you produce is broadly fixed. So, if you slow down the refineries, you make less gasoline. And so, in the United States, you can get the counterintuitive outcome that a diesel export ban could lead to higher gasoline prices. So, a lot of these things have unintended consequences, and there are good reasons why they haven't happened yet. Andrew Sheets: I think that's a fascinating and counterintuitive way to think about it. Thank you, Martijn, as always, for taking the time. Martijn Rats: My pleasure. Andrew Sheets: And thank you for listening. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you hear us. And also tell a friend or colleague about us today.
Climate strategist Joojin Kim spent years convincing banks across South Korea to stop funding coal, and it worked. Now he's aiming that same playbook at a new target: maritime shipping, a hidden engine of the global economy — and one of the world's dirtiest industries. He breaks down how the whole system converges in one place and why redirecting finance could transform it into a driver of a clean economy worldwide.
