How Trump and the oil markets move in sync: a tango in five charts
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgk8zk9epgo
"But it can be difficult for investors to figure out how to trade, especially since some of Trump's comments seem aimed at influencing oil prices, rather than communicating policy, says Brian Szytel at the Bahnsen Group."
Could it be that the whole war is just about lining his and his complices' pockets? Could it? Imagine you had lots of š° and the ability to make oil prices go up or down to your liking!
Chuck DarwinWhat happens on Tuesday is a matter of life and death.
The Endangered Species Committee
ācomposed of the heads of the Interior, Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Army, and the Council of Economic Advisors
ācan decide that the very presence of an endangered species is an unacceptable obstacle to the oil and gas industryās balance sheet.
When the "God Squad" grants an exemption, the species in question is put at risk of extinction.
The principal species in question is the Riceās whale,
a majestic creature that has navigated the Gulf since long before humans named it,
but was only identified as a distinct species in 2021.
As the only baleen whale to live exclusively in American waters, it has earned the nickname āAmericaās whaleā
āand there are only around 50 of them left in our world.
There is a certain irony to the fact that a species so closely identified with America now faces existential risk from policies advanced in the name of putting America first.
