Weakening AMOC
Many of the extreme weather events now being experienced in the U.S. are linked to a weakening AMOC and an increasingly unstable, “wavier” jet stream. Both are driven by shifting temperature, pressure, and moisture gradients, and they are physically connected through shared feedback processes.

The $50 Oil Disconnect: Futures, Physical Delivery, and the Illusion of Market Calm
There is a growing and unusual divergence in global oil markets that is difficult to ignore: spot oil prices are now trading roughly $50 per barrel above futures prices. Historically, such a wide gap is rare and typically signals acute near-term scarcity, physical bottlenecks, or extreme geopolitical risk premiums that the futures curve has not […]

Perhaps the two greatest economic misconceptions of the 21st century are: Both claims are not just misleading—they fundamentally distort how the global economy actually functions. The Tariff Illusion: Who Really Pays? The tariff argument is the easier of the two to understand. Tariffs are taxes on imports. In practice, the importer—the domestic company bringing goods […]

War Update: A Failed Strategy and a Shifting Balance of Power
The United States’ attempt to reshape the Middle East through military force and coercion has backfired. Rather than weakening Iran, the conflict has arguably strengthened its geopolitical position and expanded its influence across the region.
