China’s latest fiscal moves, rate cuts, stimulus, and construction demand are sending ripples through global markets, while hurricanes in the Gulf and geopolitical tensions add even more volatility. We’ll break down why traditional market fundamentals aren’t telling the full story, how ExxonMobil’s latest legal battles fit into the bigger picture, and what energy permitting challenges and big tech’s growing influence mean for the future of oil and gas. Whether you’re watching drilling rigs, American shale, or the push for renewables, this one’s got something for you.
