Brent crude crossed the century mark for the first time in years, Iran's new Supreme Leader made clear Hormuz was staying closed, United States payrolls fell off a cliff, and the AI industry spent most of the week negotiating who was actually allowed to work for the Pentagon. Bonkers. Move over Jason Vorhees, this Friday the 13th could be the scariest one yet… All the top moves, shakes, and
Wall Street banks are poised to secure a regulatory reprieve after the United States Federal Reserve signalled plans to ease proposed capital rules that had threatened to significantly increase the buffers lenders must hold against potential losses. Speaking at the Cato Institute in Washington on Thursday, Michelle Bowman, the Federal Reserve’s vice chair for supervision, said regulators will s
Asia keeps reaching for more gas. Someone should probably tell them how that's been going. Here's a fun game… Take the world's biggest energy-importing region, subject it to repeated geopolitical supply shocks, watch prices detonate, and wait for policymakers to respond by locking in more of the same fuel that caused the problem in the first place. Rinse and repeat. That, in broad stro
The United States has eased sanctions on Russian oil and petroleum in an attempt to curb the economic impact of the U.S.-Iran war. U.S. Treasury Scott Bessent said this would be a temporary measure to "promote stability in global energy markets" during the war. The move will last until 11 April. "This narrowly tailored, short-term measure applies only to oil already in transit and will no
Iran will continue to block the Strait of Hormuz and attack United States military bases, the country’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has said in his first public statement. The strait, where around 20% of global oil flows would usually transit, has been closed by Iran during the war. Iran’s military said yesterday that the U.S. should “get ready for oil to be $200 a barrel” as the blocka

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he would bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor next week. The act is backed by President Donald Trump and would require Americans to show proof of citizenship to register to vote and a valid ID in order to cast a ballot. It recently passed the House in a 218-213 vote in February, but has been stalled in the Senate as Democrats argue it would vi
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company has been granted authorisation to build a gas-burning power plant, despite major concerns for pollution. The ruling was made by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality earlier this week, granting xAI the go-ahead for the plant in the state, saying they had made the choice after “careful consideration of all public comments and community co
A top executive at Microsoft, Rajesh Jha, is stepping down after over 35 years at the company. Jha is retiring as executive vice president of Experiences + Devices, a role which saw him oversee Windows, Office, 365 Copilot and more, including the transfer of the Office suite to the cloud. This is the latest in a series of leadership shake ups from Microsoft, after last year saw the appointme
The United States is considering waiving a law that requires U.S. ships to be used to move goods between its ports, in a bid to ease the impact of surging oil prices. Under the proposed Jones Act exemption, the law would be waived for 30 days for vessels moving oil, gasoline, diesel, liquefied natural gas, and fertiliser, Bloomberg reported. “In the interest of national defense, the White Ho
Despite major declines in the stock market due to the war in Iran, global collectors still spent more than US$600 million on classic cars and fine art, signalling strength at the top of the economy.
