With visibility on the U.S. economic outlook greatly reduced by the fog of war and $100-a-barrel oil, it might seem an odd time to be getting more bullish on stocks. But from a valuation, earnings, and growth perspective, there's a compelling case. Strategists at Barclays outlined it this week as they raised their S&P 500 price and earnings forecasts, and they're not the lone bulls. Corporate America won't entirely escape the economic fallout from the Iran war and energy shock, they [Read more]

Europe scales back climate goals to ease Iran war energy shock: Bousso
The European Union may be forced to scale back its flagship climate policies and geopolitical aims as the Iran war drives up energy prices - with lasting consequences for the bloc's energy strategy. The energy crunch sparked by the conflict, now in its fourth week, has rattled Europe, which is heavily dependent on imported oil and gas. Around 8% of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) comes from the Middle East through the all-important Strait of Hormuz, which remains mostly blocked. European [Read more]
Small population, big infrastructure needs: Northern Canada facing power struggles
Representatives from all three Canadian territories say the need to improve their aging electricity grids has reached a critical level requiring billions of dollars from the federal government to update, and in some cases, keep the lights on.

Barclays sees 13–14 million bpd oil supply loss from prolonged Hormuz disruption
Barclays said on Thursday that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz would likely lead to a 13-14 million barrels per day supply loss, noting that while the scale of the disruption is immense, so is the uncertainty around its duration. Exports from Yanbu and Fujairah have picked up in recent weeks and assuming no threat to shipments from these ports, the bank sees a supply disruption of that magnitude as likely in the event of a prolonged closure of the Strait. The International [Read more]
Iran oil shock sets US Treasury seismograph twitching: Mike Dolan
The Iran oil shock has upended rate forecasts and roiled U.S. Treasury markets - driving volatility to its highest in nearly a year and forcing selling that is taking a serious toll on liquidity. The risk is that the tremors spread further. One of the key attractions of the U.S. Treasury debt market is its sheer scale. At $30 trillion, it is deep enough for the world's biggest buyers and sellers to move in and out without shifting the price - a rare quality in any asset market. That [Read more]
ADNOC CEO calls any Iran curbs on Hormuz passage ‘economic terrorism’
Abu Dhabi state oil company ADNOC's CEO Sultan Al Jaber described any restriction of passage through the Strait of Hormuz by Iran as "economic terrorism". "When Iran holds Hormuz hostage, every nation pays the ransom, at the gas pump, at the grocery store, at the pharmacy," Al Jaber said in a speech in the U.S. on Wednesday. "No country can be allowed to destabilize the global economy in this way. Not now. Not ever." Al Jaber, during a meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance earlier [Read more]
