🛢️ A foreign oil company wants control of two Venezuelan oil fields — and more than US$ 500 million is at stake.
India’s state-owned ONGC expects to receive the rights to operate two oil projects in Venezuela within three to six months. Its chief financial officer, Anupam Agarwal, said so, according to Reuters: the company wants to go from being a minority stakeholder to an operator with control over management and crude sales.
🔹 The hard facts
• Goal: full operation of San Cristóbal and shared operation of Carabobo 1 with other investors.
• San Cristóbal: ONGC holds 40% and PDVSA holds the

Honestly, luck played a part in my making it through this downturn.
But more than that, it was my own control over my position. I know holding a losing position is a mistake.
But who would stubbornly hold on for no reason?
Still, I said I’d stick with my brothers until we see BTC at 90,000, so I’m definitely not closing this position.
Position sizing, risk management, and putting knowledge into practice are all put to the test when you hold through a loss.
I hope we can keep going further and witness a different version of ourselves together.

Most people are watching for a breakout, figuring the market has to pick a direction, but I still lean toward a move lower first. I’d rather treat this latest rise in Treasury yields as a signal to dollar-cost average in than a signal to run for the exits. The reason is simple: when yields grind higher, the market is repricing risk. Supply pressure from the fiscal side, combined with a faster pace of Treasury issuance, makes it hard for the term premium to settle down. The short end is driven by the policy path, while the long end depends on confidence in growth and inflation—neither is a smoo

AI Giants Face a Headache! The US Sets Its Sights on Data Centers as the Era of Surging Computing Power Faces a New Test

AI hasn’t learned to generate its own power yet, but regulators are already paying attention to its appetite for electricity!
News that the US plans to tighten data center regulations has once again put the AI industry chain in the spotlight. In recent years, tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have continued to ramp up investment in AI infrastructure, making data center construction a major competitive arena in the tech industry.
But that has also brought new

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000, while the market had expected just over 60,000—2.5 times the forecast. Taken at face value, the jobs number was indeed “explosive,” showing that the labor market remains resilient. After the data came out, U.S. stocks initially surged, then plunged. This pattern of trading the good news first, then shifting focus to interest rates and valuations, is all too familiar: strong employment cools expectations for rate cuts and pushes Treasury yields higher, immediately putting pressure on stock valuations. Growth stocks, for example, tend to be especially sensi

A New Signal for the U.S. Economy! Consumer Expectations at Just 50.9—Rate Cuts or Hikes Pose a Dilemma Again?

U.S. economic policy faces another test! The preliminary November reading of the University of Michigan Consumer Expectations Index came in at 50.9, putting consumers’ views of the future economy in the market spotlight.
Why does this data matter? Because consumers’ outlook for the future can affect spending plans, willingness to save, and household expenditures.
If consumer confidence is weak, people may cut back on nonessential spending, which could also affect business revenue gro

Oil prices have finally given in! Crude has fallen below $100—can drivers finally smile?
The international crude oil market has finally brought some uplifting news: crude prices have fallen below $100!
Now drivers finally have a reason to be happy. After all, gas prices have been painful lately. When you step on the gas, it feels like you're burning through not gasoline, but stacks of cash.
The most direct impact of falling crude prices is that it creates room for future cuts to refined fuel prices. But don't pop the champagne just yet: a drop in international oil prices doesn't mean domestic

The 1H trend is strong (RSI 69.82; price above EMA20 at 1320.70); the 4H trend is also strong (RSI 53.85; price above EMA20 at 1285.78). The volume ratio is 0.11. Holding above the 1387.89 resistance could signal further gains, while a break below the 1241.30 support would weaken the short-term outlook.

Tariffs hit companies’ books first—the money’s gone before the goods even reach consumers. Who’s going to bear these costs? Corporate profits take the first hit, and if companies can’t pass the costs on, they’ll have to absorb them themselves. Trading volume was only 30% of normal over the weekend, so even the slightest hint of trouble sends the market into a tailspin. What do you think?

50.9! U.S. consumer expectations index draws attention: just how uncertain is the economic outlook?

U.S. consumers are becoming cautious again! The preliminary November University of Michigan Consumer Expectations Index came in at 50.9, a figure that has refocused market attention on how Americans really feel about the economic outlook.
Why does the consumer expectations index matter? Because whether consumers feel comfortable spending directly affects a key pillar of the U.S. economy: consumption.
If people are worried about jobs, income, and prices, they naturally become more careful when s
