Why I call the below the most important story in markets / geopolitics? 1) without China importing far less, oil would be way, way above $100 2) Fed would be forced to hike rates, crashing Wall Street 3) President Trump would be against the clock in negotiations with Iran

CHART OF THE DAY: Perhaps the most important story in global markets / geopolitics right now. China's oil imports plunged to ~6.6m b/d in May, according to @Vortexa data, down ~38% vs 2025 average (or ~4m b/d). I wrote this @Opinion column in early May: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

A big reason why oil prices aren't much higher: a steep fall in Chinese demand. "The amount of oil arriving in China by ship in the past 30 days has fallen to 7.5m b/d from about 13m b/d at this time last year." "The reasons for the sudden drop in Chinese buying are unclear." ft.com/content/ef6f00…

Alphabet generated over $160b in operating cash flow last year… yet it’s still issuing $40b+ in equity to fund AI compute (including a private placement to berkshire) One of the biggest cash generators in tech is diluting to keep up
Boring_Business@BoringBiz_

The AI capex spend is so insane that Google is raising equity from Berkshire Hathaway through a private placement to fund spend on infrastructure Berkshire is receiving $10B split across Class A and C shares at a roughly 6% discount to share price

Commodity market guru Jeff Currie on Pres. Trump's so-called deals with Iran: “Five deal announcements, zero closes… sell the tweet, buy the molecule.” HEADLINES LIE, MOLECULES DON’T.

no regime change in iran, no handpicking of the next supreme leader. no dismantling of iran’s proxies, no restrictions on its ballistic missile and drone programs. an agreement to downblend the highly enriched uranium inside iran. the destruction of iran’s navy, but an emboldened iran that is prepared to disrupt the strait. throw in the cost in lives, the global economy, and the global treasure, and the reputational damage to the united states…and president trump has some serious explaining to do.   next up: cuba
