Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Chevron ( CVX ) said Sunday that its Wheatstone liquefied natural gas facility in Western Australia is unlikely to resume full production for several weeks as it repairs damage caused by last week's tropical cyclone, adding another blow to the global LNG market still reeling from the halt of operations in Qatar. "While damage assessments continue at both the onshore Wheatstone plant and offshore Wheatstone Platform, it is likely to be a number of weeks before production returns to full rates to allow time for repairs to be safely completed," a Chevron ( CVX ) Australia spokesperson said. The Wheatstone plant accounted for 2.4% of global LNG trade in February, shipping 11 cargoes — with 10 going to Japan and one to Thailand, according to advisory EnergyQuest. The cyclone was estimated to have disrupted Australian LNG supply equating to more than 30M metric tons/year; combined with the shock from the Middle East war, more than 25% of global LNG supply has been disrupted, MST Marquee analyst Saul Kavonic said Friday. Wheatstone was one of three LNG plants in Western Australia whose production was affected by Tropical Cyclone Narelle late last week; Woodside Energy ( WDS ) said it is working to resume normal operations at its North West Shelf facility, and Chevron ( CVX ) said its Gorgon site was operating at full rates after an outage at one of its three production units. Woodside ( WDS ) also said production has continued at its Macedon and Pluto gas facilities, and ship loading at Pluto LNG, which was not affected by the storm, is restarting following the reopening on Saturday of the Dampier port.

Olena Bartienieva/iStock via Getty Images A new wave of defense startups is working to dramatically cut the cost of intercepting drones, as modern conflicts expose the imbalance between cheap unmanned aircraft and expensive missile systems, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. In recent wars, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, militaries have relied on high-end interceptors that can cost millions of dollars to destroy drones worth only a few thousand. This mismatch has strained budgets and highlighted the need for more affordable solutions. Companies are responding by redesigning missiles with lower-cost materials, standardized components and automated production. The goal is to produce interceptors priced in the tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands or more. One example is Perseus Defense, founded by a former NASA engineer who left his job after recognizing the growing demand for inexpensive counter-drone weapons. The company is developing a compact missile that can be launched from multiple platforms and built quickly at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. He has said the idea emerged from observing how existing defenses were poorly suited to large numbers of low-cost drones. Traditional missiles such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder remain highly effective, but they were designed for high-value targets like fighter jets, not mass-produced drones. As a result, their use in current conflicts is often inefficient from a cost perspective. Other startups, including Estonia-based Frankenburg Technologies, are pursuing similar approaches. Their interceptors rely on commercially available components, including technologies now common in consumer electronics. The company’s leadership has pointed out that systems once exclusive to advanced weapons, such as navigation sensors, are now widely accessible and cheaper to integrate. Demand is rising quickly. Governments in Europe, the United States and the Persian Gulf are placing orders or explo...

Futures, Gold Jump As Yields Fall Despite Surging Oil As Recession Fears Surpass Inflation Concerns Futures are higher despite continued Iran war escalation which pushed Brent higher by around 2% after Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen joining the war on Iran’s said, bouncing from overnight lows which may be driven by positioning, but also by a major shift in the regime with oil now rising instead of falling on higher oil prices as the market pivots to price in not inflation but recession (and look at the spike in gold/bitcoin this morning as the next stimmy starts getting priced in). As of 8:00am ET, S&P futures are at session highs, rising 0.6% after the benchmark slumped to an August low at the end of last week, and reversing an early overnight loss; Nasdaq futures rise 0.7% with all Mag7 names higher premarket, boosting Semis, as Cyclicals (incl Energy) are leading Defensives ex-healthcare. The moves in Energy and healthcare are also breaking recent trends suggesting investors may be shifting portfolios to cash flow heavy names as they consider oil prices remaining elevated for longer. The most notable move overnight is that after weeks of rising, US yields fell across the curve after money markets cut the odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike in 2026 to about 20%, from around 35% on Friday. The rate on two-year Treasuries dropped five basis points to 3.87% while 10Y yields are down 7bps to 4.36% The dollar was little changed. Commodities are stronger as WTI moves above $100/bbl. Gold/precious and bitcoin are all higher despite USD strength, breaking the recent trend , as they start pricing in the looming stimulus to offset the next recession . Today's US economic data calendar includes the March Dallas Fed manufacturing activity at 10:30am. Ahead this week are consumer confidence, JOLTS job openings, retail sales, ISM manufacturing and - in an abbreviated session on Friday - March jobs report In premarket trading, Mag 7 stocks are all higher: Meta +1%, Nvidia...
