“Oil extended its recent slide as investors assessed how US President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection could impact markets. West Texas Intermediate’s more-active September contract settled near $78 a barrel, touching a five-week low. The slump was accelerated by trend-following commodity trading advisers, according to EA Quant Analytics. Some traders say that Biden’s decision against running for a new term has oil analysts pricing in victory for Donald Trump, who would push for a boost in US crude production that would be bearish for prices in the long term.”

“The European energy commissioner and the US energy secretary used a meeting of Central and Eastern European energy ministers in Bucharest this week to keep EU-US clean tech competition on a friendly footing. In recent years both the EU and the US have pinpointed climate-friendly technology like wind turbines, solar panels and batteries, as key to their security and prosperity. While the move was spurred by China’s increasingly visible dominance in clean tech and Russia’s halting of gas supplies, it has also led to tension between the two global blocs.”

“As Donald Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination last Thursday, he reminded the megawealthy coterie of oil tycoons backing him why he is their man. “We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country by far, we are a nation that has the opportunity to make an absolute fortune with its energy,” Trump said during his prime-time address. The speech was music to the ears of oil billionaires Harold Hamm of Continental Resources, Kelcy Warren of Energy Transfer, Jeffery Hildebrand of Hilcorp, and George Bishop of GeoSouthern Energy. Since March, they, together with their spouses and companies, have contributed at least $9.9 million to Trump-aligned committees and the Republican National Committee, according to Federal Election Commission data.”
