Contracts representing millions of barrels of oil changed hands about 15 minutes before a social media post from US President Donald Trump that sent crude prices tumbling by as much as 14%. Futures corresponding to at least 6 million barrels of Brent and West Texas Intermediate were sold in the two minutes from 6:49 a.m. in Washington on Monday, according to exchange data compiled by Bloomberg. The average for the same time period over the previous five trading days was about 700 lots — or 700,000 barrels. Trump’s Truth Social post was published at around 7:05 a.m. Trump said in the post that the US would postpone strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days, adding that it was in “productive conversations” with the Middle Eastern nation. The president had on Saturday threatened to carry out the attacks within 48 hours unless Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway that typically handles around a fifth of the world’s oil. “Yesterday, we were counting down the hours until Trump started ‘obliterating’ Iranian power plants; today we are counting down the days before a ‘deal’ with Iran,” said Robert Rennie , head of commodity and carbon research at Westpac Banking Corp. “The problem for traders is that we have a whole lot of risk and volatility to manage between those two extremes.” The notional value of those volumes was around $650 million before the Trump post sent prices plunging. It’s not known if the contracts were part of a wider strategy involving other derivative instruments like timespreads or options. The identities of the counterparties were also not immediately clear. “The last thing that market participants want to see are suggestions that large, and highly profitable trades were being placed just ahead of those extreme swings,” Rennie said. Crude futures have been highly volatile, as the market reacts to ever-shifting headlines on the status of the war in the Middle East, which has resulted in the effective closure of the Strai...

By Alessandro Parodi March 24 (Reuters) - New car sales in Europe rose in February after falling in January, while sustained demand for electric vehicles helped Elon Musk's all-electric brand Tesla resume growth for the first time since December 2024, official data showed on Tuesday. Overall car registrations, a proxy for sales, in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association were up 1.7% to 979,321 vehicles sold in the month, according to the European auto lobby ACEA. Two-thirds of those were electrified, either battery-electric, plug-in hybrid or hybrid. The EU and Britain are walking back some regulations aimed at reducing CO2 emissions after pressure from domestic carmakers who say they are struggling to turn a profit on EV sales while fending off competition from Chinese rivals. But battery-electric and plug-in hybrid sales have been steadily on the rise in Europe thanks to new, cheaper models coming into the market and national policies which encourage EV adoption. Environmental groups warn that the repositioning of some petrol models as "mild hybrids" has also contributed to growing EV sales, while only modestly lowering emissions. TESLA EDGES UP, CLOSE TO BYD Tesla's February registrations were up 11.8% year-on-year in February, reversing a thirteen-month negative streak, the ACEA data showed. They were marginally lower than those of its Chinese competitor BYD, whose sales more than doubled from the same month of 2025. Both brands had a market share of 1.8% in the month. Sales of top domestic carmakers Volkswagen and Stellantis rose by 2.2% and 9.5%, respectively, while Renault's fell by 14.3%. In the EU, total car sales rose 1.4% to 865,437 vehicles. Registrations of battery electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric cars were up 20.6%, 32.1% and 10.1%, respectively, to account collectively for 67% of the bloc's registrations, up from 58.5% in February 2025.

A leading Irish metals refinery is part of an international aluminium supply chain that appears to conclude with shipments to arms producers feeding the Kremlin’s war machine in Ukraine, leaked records and public data suggests. Trading records show that shipments to Russian smelters from Aughinish Alumina, which is located on the Shannon estuary in the west of Ireland and has been owned by the Russian aluminium group Rusal since 2006, have increased sharply since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Ireland exported $243m (£180m) of alumina to Russia in 2022, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), a data analytics website,and this rose by 55% to $376m in 2024. Aughinish is Ireland’s only producer of alumina and the largest producer of the main raw material for making aluminium in Europe, according to a 2021 report by the accounting group KPMG. The rising trade with Russia does not appear to breach sanctions law and can be interrogated via publicly available shipping records. However, analysis of further data – leaked to the Russian investigative website iStories and shared with international media groups including the Guardian, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and the Irish Times – raises fresh questions about the EU’s ability to prevent Russian arms manufacturers from utilising the trading bloc’s raw materials. The records also appear to misalign with previous reassurance from the Irish government. In 2022, Ireland’s then public expenditure minister of state, Patrick O’Donovan, told the country’s parliament that the plant “is not in any way connected to a war machine”. Having been presented with findings from the new data, Aughinish representatives did not comment when asked by the Guardian and the OCCRP how the facility ensured products had not contributed to Russian assaults on Ukraine. O’Donovan did not comment. Prof Aristides Matopoulos, a defence supply chains specialist from Cranfield University, said: “Defence supp...

In the basement of a new-build housing block in Camden, the ventilation system is working flat out. The fans whir like a chainsaw orchestra bouncing around the concrete room as they attempt to deal with a slight damp problem. “This is what it’d sound like if there was a fire!” shouts Jon Swinstead, the driving force behind the Museum of Youth Culture, as he tries to make himself heard above the din. It’s hard to imagine but in a few weeks this empty, slightly soggy space will be transformed into an institution dedicated to all things teenage – a project Swinstead has been working on in one way or another for almost 30 years. Opening on 15 May, the museum has amassed a 100,000-item archive that tells the story of British youth subcultures from mods and rockers, to ravers and emo. Dotted around the team’s temporary workspace are giant pictures of grime greats, slides of Gavin Watson’s work documenting skinheads, and a Raleigh Chopper, which Swinstead admits is one part of the collection that’s “worth a few quid”. “We’ve also got an original Sony Walkman,” he adds. “It has two inputs, one that says ‘guys’ and the other ‘dolls’.” They’ve invited the British public to donate items, such as an enormous collection of school leavers’ shirts, with personalised messages scrawled in felt tip. Elsewhere there are personalised handbags and customised shirts dedicated to two-tone bands. It’s a bottom-up form of curation, which the team think is befitting cultures that were handmade, on the margins and foundational to the young people who created them. “We got a donation from a man called Steven who was going to early punk gigs in 1976 but thought he’d get sacked from his apprenticeship if he was identified. So he got a welding mask and stencilled ‘HATE’ across the top,” says Lisa der Weduwe, the community programmer at MoYC. “He also donated a copy of the Evening Standard and he’s in there wearing the mask at a Clash gig.” Swinstead says the museum is filling an obvious void in t...

They’re not armed and they keep a relatively low profile. But the Home Office’s immigration compliance and enforcement officers have searched thousands of business in pursuit of illegal workers. Are they abusing their powers? Diners were tucking into their upmarket Indian lunch when the Ice agents slid through the restaurant’s back fence. Armed with stun guns and clad in stab vests, the 11-strong unit blocked off every entrance before moving in on their target: Mandira’s Kitchen. This wasn’t a scene from California or Texas. It happened near Guildford, England, among the rolling Surrey Hills. Before the Home Office’s immigration compliance and enforcement (Ice) officers stormed the restaurant in September, they came up with a codeword in the event they were attacked with any weapons that might be at hand in a kitchen. What they found were customers eating biryani and samosas in a converted barn decorated with plants and a rickshaw bicycle hanging from the ceiling. When they reached the kitchen, they found five junior members of staff cooking. The officers demanded to see their passports. “They didn’t explain. They didn’t ask for permission,” says the restaurant’s owner, Mandira Moitra Sarkar. That 11 officers could burst into her business with no warrant and question staff is “astounding”, she says. Moitra Sarkar was on holiday in Tanzania when Ice arrived; she was notified by a frantic call from a member of staff. Continue reading...
