Keir Starmer says the UK will convene 35 countries to discuss the diplomatic and political measures needed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and UK military planners will meet as well. The unspoken implication of the focus on diplomacy is that if Trump walks away without reopening the strait and without a deal with Iran, then Tehran holds the cards and will be able to negotiate terms with Western and Gulf countries. Many would conclude that scenario would leave Iran in many ways in a stronger international position than before Trump’s war - a remarkable outcome.

Tankers carrying diesel to Europe have changed course. Several tankers carrying diesel from the US to Europe have changed course mid-Atlantic. The Aliai, Minerva Vaso and Grand Ace6 all loaded in the US and were initially bound for Europe, with destinations including Amsterdam and Gibraltar. Their routes have since shifted. The Grand Ace6 is now signaling Lomé in Togo, while the Minerva Vaso is listed “for orders,” indicating no fixed destination as traders wait for better pricing. The Aliai has also diverted southeast, away from its original European route. The Atlantic is now a “floating market. Europe diesel shortages will cause collapse of industry.

The crazy, beautiful thin line of air between us and space. Living in orbit I would often look to Earth's horizon, marvelling at how bizarrely thin our atmosphere is. Half of all air is in the first 3 mi/5 km. A common running distance. Sometimes big thunderheads were visible, pushing to the edge of the stratosphere. Above that, the coloured aura of the mesosphere, and then eternal empty blackness. Lit by an occasional star, like a small lightbulb in a vast darkened hall. Let's appreciate and take responsibility for our planet.

I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

This Bloomberg reporting should be viewed through the lens of rising borrowing costs driven by the Middle East War. These higher costs have included mortgage rates, intensifying affordability pressures (as have higher energy prices). I would not be surprised if -- as the 10-year US Treasury yield nears the 4.50% mark (having already climbed to 4.38% last week from 4.00% prior to the US-Israeli attacks on Iran) -- market chatter intensifies regarding the Administration's possible use of tools to push it back down. #economy #markets #mortgages #middleeastwar #bonds

The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.
