Statements like this from Trump will make the oil market reaction *worse*

No one who has any idea how the oil market works is buying it—all this does is make it seem like Trump believes it, which means the base case length of this disruption is growing ever-longer.

Tick. Tock.

EU needs to rip up the trade deal right now and reject all investment “commitments”. We’re slamming into a devastating industrial recession in 2Q. Ain’t nobody have money to send to Intel factories in Arizona. Trump is weak now. He can’t afford a trade war.

"I think the current crisis absolutely vindicates China's push to electrify everything, notably road transport... wouldn't be surprised we see China push to be even bigger & bolder to transition to clean energy & electrify everything" Erica Downes from Colombia CGEP on BBG TV just now.

The Iran war has put Asia on the brink of an energy panic Stranded Gulf supplies are choking off the region’s economies

Now into its second week, the American-Israeli war with Iran has all but stopped seaborne oil exports from the Gulf’s big producers. And the nastiest effects are being felt in Asia

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

The Queen knew Blair was no good right from the start

How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions (Published 2016)

Here’s the article from June 2016. Americans saw this and elected Trump anyway… twice.

www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/n...

This is what we’re getting: “During a decade when other casinos here thrived, Mr. Trump’s lagged, posting huge losses year after year.
Stock and bondholders lost more than $1.5 billion.

All the while, Mr. Trump received copious amounts for himself, with the help of a compliant board.”

What’s happening with the US economy is not unlike how things happened in Atlantic City: the burden of any of Trump’s failures will fall on US citizens this time.

Trump’s casino bankruptcy:
“He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.”

U.S. military investigators think American forces were likely responsible for an airstrike on a girls’ elementary school that killed dozens of children in Iran, a U.S. official said. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4ldl4kX

Trump is desperate to end this conflict because a longer war could tank the US economy and financial markets

Just a reminder that Kristi Noem isn't the only Trump appointee who is making waves

Cuba is next on Trump’s list of regime change.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

The money quote: "With these numbers and with the SpaceX and xAI combination happening almost concurrently with the expected IPO, investors must make comic-book heroic assumptions about sustained hypergrowth to justify a $1.75tn market cap."

SpaceX: "Prospective IPO investors would be expected to back a valuation more than seven times higher" than in October 2024.

And people say financial conditions require more easing?

SpaceX: the final frontier of IPOs Can Elon Musk’s moonshot deliver the mooted $1.75tn valuation?

They're valuing this at $1.75 trillion:
"Last year, SpaceX generated an impressive $8bn in Ebitda on $16bn in revenue. However, …xAI, …despite revenues of only $210mn [had] a cash burn of $9.5bn for the first nine months of 2025. "

1/3: Here's what wild about gas prices right now. The past two days have seen the largest increase in gas prices ($0.22/gallon) since 2005, making it one of the fastest increases ever. What's suprising about this is not only the magnitude, but the speed of the passthrough.
