imaginima/E+ via Getty Images U.S. shale executives say they do not expect to significantly increase production over the next two years as a result of the " chaos " arising from the war in the Middle East . According to the anonymous survey of more than 100 oil and gas companies published this week in a quarterly report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, 43% of executives said they do not expect daily production to increase by more than 250K bbl/day in 2026, and 32% of respondents said they expected production to rise more than 250K bbl/day but not more than 500K bbl/day in 2027. The industry's reluctance to commit to production increases comes despite President Trump's "energy dominance" agenda, and as Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum recently held a call with oil and gas executives to encourage more production. Yet despite the Trump administration's pressure, U.S. oil and gas rig counts have remained flat, apparently a sign of the sector's more disciplined approach after previous boom and bust cycles. In comments published with the survey, one executive said: "With all of the chaos,predicting anything in the energy sector is very difficult." "The difference between the gyration of paper market oil prices versus what seems to be substantially higher physical prices sends conflicting signals to operators who cannot plan rigs and capital budgets when prices swing wildly based on tweets," another respondent said. " The long-term consequences of this war were not fully considered," an executive from an unnamed oilfield services firm said. "The disruption this will cause to energy markets and other macroeconomic measures will be significant. The unpredictable nature of the current administration makes business modeling near impossible." The Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed, trapping a fifth of the world's crude supplies, and ~80% of respondents to the survey expect traffic to normalize no earlier than August, ...
Malaria Is Still Endemic In 80 Countries Significant progress has been made in the fight against malaria over the last two decades , according to a new report by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Malaria Is Still Endemic In 80 Countries Significant progress has been made in the fight against malaria over the last two decades , according to a new report by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2024, 80 countries (including the territory of French Guiana) remained endemic for the disease, down from 108 in 2000. The number of deaths have also declined since the turn of the century, with the WHO estimating that 610,000 people died from the disease in 2024, compared with 864,000 in 2000. Recent years have brought further milestones. Cabo Verde and Egypt were certified as malaria-free in 2024, followed by Timor-Leste, Suriname and Georgia in 2025. To receive certification, countries must report zero indigenous cases for three consecutive years and formally apply to the WHO. Several other countries are in a similar position, with Saudi Arabia having recorded four consecutive years without indigenous cases, while Bhutan has reached three and Malaysia seven. However, none of these have yet submitted a certification application. While Malaysia does not have malaria cases of the human Plasmodium species, it does report having P. knowlesi , a type of zoonotic parasite that circulates between monkeys and is transmitted to humans via mosquitoes. Turkey has submitted its application and is awaiting approval. But, as Statista's Anna Fleck reports, despite long-term gains, there is still a significant amount of work to be done. You will find more infographics at Statista Malaria deaths rose by around 12,000 between 2023 and 2024, while estimated cases increased from 273 million to 282 million. Ethiopia (+2.9 million cases), Madagascar (+1.9 million) and Yemen (+378,000) together accounted for 58 percent of the global increase. The WHO African Region continues to bear the heaviest burden, accounting for 95 percent of malaria deaths worldwide. Funding gaps and the growing threat of drug resistance remain key obstacles to further progress. Tyler Durden Sat, 04/25/2026 - 20:25

Ukrainian leader said agreement related to military-industrial co-operation; Russia pounds city of Dnipro with missiles and drones. What we know on day 1,523 Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed deals on security and energy cooperation with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Saturday, he said, as Kyiv seeks to leverage its experience in defending its airspace from Russia. After the latest wave of conflict in the Middle East that began with US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran in late February, multiple nations have sought Ukraine’s assistance and expertise in downing Iran’s long-range drones. Zelenskyy said the two countries had signed an agreement relating to military-industrial cooperation. Aliyev said military-industrial partnerships between the two countries had “wide-ranging perspectives” and that the two leaders had discussed joint defence production . He did not specify that he had signed any deals. Zelenskyy has also sought to reinvigorate peace talks with Russia, which were being mediated by the US until it became more focused on its campaign against Iran. The Ukrainian leader said he had discussed with Aliyev the possibility of having a meeting between Ukraine and Russia in Azerbaijan. “We are ready for the next talks [to be] in Azerbaijan if Russia will be ready for diplomacy,” he said. Ten people have been killed in Russian attacks on the south-eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro and other regions . Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said eight people were killed and 49 injured in Dnipro, a repeated target in more than four years of war with Russia. “For more than 20 frightening hours, the Russians attacked Dnipro in waves,” Hanzha wrote on Telegram. “They hit with missiles and drones. They hit deliberately. They hit residential areas.” Two more were killed in northern Ukraine. A Ukrainian drone attack on Sevastopol in Russian-annexed Crimea killed one man and wounded three other people , the city’s Moscow-installed governor said on Sund...

Attention on Wall Street often focuses on the most notable events. This is why the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, which has driven volatile oil prices, is top of mind for most investors. Lofty oil prices aren't going to stop the green energy transition that's taking shape, and might even help it along.

Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEP) (NYSE: BEPC) is a solid choice for income investors who want broad clean energy exposure.
