Another corner of the energy market is being threatened by the war in Iran, as prices for methanol — essential to biofuel production — surge in Southeast Asia. The spike risks crimping output of crop-based fuels and adding to the region’s energy crunch. Indonesia is the world’s biggest producer of palm oil , a large portion of which is converted into biodiesel to meet the country’s steep blending targets. Methanol is key to that process, helping to break down the crop and convert it into fuel. However, prices for the alcohol have climbed as ship traffic grinds to a near halt amid the US-Israeli attacks in Iran, crimping vital commodity shipments — much of which often head to Asia. QatarEnergy last week said it would halt production of downstream products including methanol after the closure of its massive liquefied natural gas plant. Read more: Asia Races to Contain Energy Crunch as Oil Spikes Over $100. Methanol prices for delivery to Southeast Asia jumped 24% last week to $402 a ton, the biggest gain since 2007, data from analytics firm Polymer Update shows. If the disruption continues, inventories in Indonesia could run low and biofuel production may fall short of the government’s monthly quotas as soon as April, according to traders familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified. The energy and mineral resources ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. That threatens further tightening energy supplies in the region, which is highly dependent on imports and has been hit by the sharp slowdowns in oil and gas shipments. Biofuels have historically been seen as a way to combat that reliance and produce more energy at home. Vegetable oil prices have climbed since the war’s outbreak, with palm oil briefly surging as much as 10% on Monday. Read more: Queues, Price Hikes and Shortages as Asia Battles Fuel Crunch. Indonesian biofuel production remains stable for now and the industry is seeking solutions should the conflict persist, according ...
Plans to curtail the number of jury trials in England and Wales have been described as “unpopular, untested and poorly evidenced” by thousands of lawyers who have written to the prime minister. The letter to Keir Starmer, a former director of public prosecutions, from 3,200 lawyers, including 300 senior barristers, comes as his government faces the prospect of one of its most serious backbench rev...
Plans to curtail the number of jury trials in England and Wales have been described as “unpopular, untested and poorly evidenced” by thousands of lawyers who have written to the prime minister. The letter to Keir Starmer, a former director of public prosecutions, from 3,200 lawyers, including 300 senior barristers, comes as his government faces the prospect of one of its most serious backbench revolts since coming to power. Efforts by David Lammy, the justice secretary, to change the mind of one of the leading Labour figures opposed to the plans, the backbencher Karl Turner, failed after the men met on Monday night. Turner, who had previously co-ordinated a letter from 38 Labour MPs urging the prime minister to reverse the plans, said he had “absolutely not” been convinced. The Conservatives are expected to force a vote to try to block the second reading in parliament on Tuesday. However, the true scale of the Labour rebellion may not yet be evident. More than 65 Labour MPs are thought to be considering voting against the bill, but it is understood that many may abstain and instead vote against it at a later stage of the legislative process, such as report stage. On Monday, Lammy warned opponents of the bill that criminals would walk free if it was blocked. “Across Britain today, too many victims endure the same ordeal. For them, justice delayed becomes justice denied. When that happens, offenders are left free to roam our streets, and more victims are created,” the deputy prime minister wrote in an opinion piece for the Telegraph. Lammy described the scale of the courts backlog, which the bill is aimed at addressing, as stark. He said the number of cases waiting to be heard in crown court had almost doubled, from about 38,000 in 2019 to nearly 80,000. Lammy appealed to Labour MPs’ sense of social justice as he made the case for the plans last night at a meeting of the parliamentary Labour party, telling them: “When a public service collapses, it is never the wealth...

Key Points Artificial intelligence (AI) is the stock market's leading catalyst, with one estimate suggesting the global addressable market for AI will top $15 trillion by 2030. Nvidia and Palantir have been relatively unstoppable, thanks in part to their sustainable moats. However, insiders at both companies have been decisive net sellers of their respective shares over the last two years. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › For more than three years, the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has been the stock market's leading catalyst. The capacity for software and systems to make split-second decisions without human oversight, and the up to $15.7 trillion global addressable market assigned to AI by PWC analysts by 2030, have investors excited. Arguably, no two companies have been more direct beneficiaries from the rise of artificial intelligence than the world's largest publicly traded stock, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and data-mining specialist Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR). Since the start of 2023, Nvidia has added over $4.1 trillion in market cap, while Palantir shares have skyrocketed by almost 2,300%! Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) have a virtual monopoly in enterprise data centers. External competitors have struggled to keep pace with the compute potential of Hopper (H100), Blackwell, and Blackwell Ultra, leading businesses to form a long queue for Nvidia's AI hardware. To add fuel to the fire, Nvidia is benefiting from persistent AI GPU scarcity. When you couple see...

Wall Street is gearing up for a choppy session after U.S. stock futures turned green in early Tuesday pre-market trade. Traders continue to track the latest developments in Iran after President Trump indicated a potential end to the Iran war and possible removal of sanctions.

The U.S. is currently home to 10 companies valued at $1 trillion or more. These are: Nvidia: $4.4 trillion. Apple: $3.8 trillion. Alphabet: $3.6 trillion. Microsoft: $3 trillion. Amazon: $2.3 trillion. Meta Platforms: $1.6 trillion. Tesla TSLA +0.53% ) Broadcom: $1.5 trillion. Berkshire Hathaway: $1 trillion. Walmart: $1 trillion. However, one of them is substantially more expensive than the rest when measured by a key valuation metric. Considering this company's core business produced shrinking sales in each of the last two years, its premium valuation is increasingly difficult to justify. That company is Tesla. Investors have piled into the stock because the company's future product platforms, like the Cybercab autonomous robotaxi and the Optimus humanoid robot, have enormous potential. But here in the present, 73% of the company's total revenue still comes from its passenger electric-vehicle (EV) business, where demand continues to decline. Here's why I predict Tesla will drop out of the exclusive $1 trillion club before the end of 2026. EV sales declined at an accelerated pace in 2025 Tesla delivered 1.79 million EVs to customers in 2024, which was a 1% decline from the previous year. But in 2025, deliveries came in at 1.63 million cars, which was an even sharper year-over-year drop of 9%. This dragged the company's 2025 automotive revenue down by 10%, which contributed to a whopping 47% plunge in its earnings per share (EPS). Earnings typically drive stock prices, but more on that later. Tesla's EV sales could soften even further in 2026, as it plans to pull two of its premium cars (the Model X and the Model S) out of the lineup. This will allow the company to focus its efforts on cheaper, higher-volume models like the Model Y and the Model 3, which will improve its competitive position against some of China's low-cost manufacturers like BYD (BYDDY +5.75%). BYD currently sells its entry-level Dolphin Surf EV for under $27,000 in Europe, for example, whereas Tes...
