  Oil ticks lower after three-day rally as Iran conflict keeps supply risks elevated

As of... Read more Oil prices ticked lower on Thursday after three straight sessions of gains, as investors assessed the impact of continued U.S. military operations against Iran and the prospect of prolonged disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  As of 06:03 ET (10:03 GMT), Brent Oil Futures expiring in September fell 0.5% to $84.52 per barrel, while Crude Oil WTI Futures} slipped 0.2% to $79.43 per barrel.
  
  Both benchmarks surged nearly 10% to one-month highs at the start of the week when the Iran conflict reignited.

  Markets remained focused on the security of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments normally pass.
  
  The latest gains followed a fresh wave of U.S. strikes launched on Wednesday against Iranian military targets linked to attacks on commercial shipping.
  
  Washington said the operation was aimed at degrading Iran’s ability to threaten maritime traffic in the Gulf.
  
  Tehran said it was engaged in an "existential war" with the U.S. and warned that regional energy exports could face further disruption if hostilities continue.
  
  The renewed conflict has reversed much of the optimism that followed last month’s temporary easing in tensions.
  
  "The concern is that renewed oil supply disruptions come amid the large inventory drawdowns through the second quarter, leaving the market more vulnerable," ING analysts said in a note.
  
  "In addition, global SPR releases, which have helped the market out over recent months, are set to end in the next few weeks," analysts added.
  
  Jefferies analysts said they expect the current phase of escalation to persist for several weeks, even if it does not develop into a full-scale war, arguing that this would likely keep traffic through the Strait of Hormuz impaired and maintain upward pressure on oil prices.
  
  Further supporting prices, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday crude oil inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels in the week ended July 10, largely in line with expectations.
  
  Gasoline stockpiles declined by 1.5 million barrels as peak summer driving demand remained firm. Distillate inventories, however, unexpectedly rose by 4.6 million barrels.
  
  The International Energy Agency said in its July Oil Market Report that while oil flows through the Strait had partially recovered in June, renewed hostilities this month have clouded the outlook and could derail expectations for a return to surplus in 2027. Source: Investing.com

  Oil prices rise for 4th day as US strikes on Iran raise fears of wider conflict

Read more Oil prices rose for a fourth straight day on Thursday after a new wave of U.S. strikes on Iranian military installations fuelled fears of renewed full-scale conflict and supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  The United States struck Iran’s coastal defences and missile sites on Wednesday after reimposing a naval blockade of its ports, while Iran threatened to shut off more regional energy exports, saying it was engaged in an "existential war" with America.
  
  Brent crude futures climbed 33 cents, or 0.4%, to $85.28 a barrel by 0026 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures rose 42 cents, or 0.5%, to $80.02 a barrel.
  
  Both benchmarks gained about 0.3% on Wednesday and were hovering near their one-month highs touched on Tuesday.
  
  "With tensions in the Middle East flaring up again, buying is taking the lead," said Hiroyuki Kikukawa, chief strategist of Nissan Securities Investment.
  
  "While mediation efforts by neighbouring countries continue and the consensus view is that a full-scale war is unlikely, WTI could still rise to $85–$87 depending on how the conflict develops," he said.
  
  Oil prices have gained this week as attacks deepened supply disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, which handled about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas trade before the war began.
  
  Hostilities between Iran and the U.S. reignited last week, fraying an already fragile truce reached in June after several months of fighting.
  
  Analysts say Iran has signalled it may use its Houthi allies in Yemen to shut the Bab el-Mandeb gateway to the Red Sea, opening a new front against Washington and putting two of the world’s most vital energy arteries at risk.
  
  Goldman Sachs said Brent could exceed $110 in the fourth quarter if the Gulf export recovery continues to stall, but could fall into the $60s by year-end if tensions ease and production recovers faster than expected.
  
  Meanwhile, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said crude inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels in the week to July 10, compared with analysts’ expectations for a 2.6 million-barrel draw. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Global Investments In Nuclear Fusion Surge 69% To $4.5B

Read more Global private investments in nuclear fusion hit a record $4.48 billion in 2025, in large part driven by the booming energy demands of AI data centers and rising global energy security concerns. According to the Fusion Industry Association (FIA), confidence in the viability of nuclear fusion technology is growing, with ~71% of fusion companies now expected to deliver commercial power to the grid by the 2030s. And that confidence is now translating into tangible dollars and infrastructure with fusion companies now inking site selection and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with major tech companies. To wit, three years ago, Helion Energy signed a first-of-its-kind power purchase agreement with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), with Helion committing to supplying Microsoft with at least 50 megawatts of electricity from a commercial fusion plant by 2028. Unlike a loose letter of intent, this is a binding corporate PPA, with Helion facing potential financial penalties from Microsoft and its transmission partner Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) if it fails to deliver on schedule. Constellation Energy serves as the primary power marketer, managing transmission from the reactor straight to the grid.
  
  Last year, Helion broke ground on its first commercial-scale power facility dubbed Orion in Malaga, Washington. The Malaga site was strategically selected near the Columbia River to hook directly into Washington's main power delivery network, landing just upstream to power Microsoft’s massive cloud infrastructure.
  
  Helion is heavily backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who has injected hundreds of millions of dollars of his personal capital into the company. To keep pace with the strict 2028 Microsoft deadline, last year, Helion closed a $465 million Series G funding round led by Thrive Capital. The capital injection elevated Helion’s valuation to $15.5 billion, moving it from a speculative science venture into a heavily capitalized utility competitor.
  
  In August 2025, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spinoff, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, raised $863 million in a Series B2 funding, with the oversubscribed round bringing its total funding to nearly $3 billion. Some of CFS’ High-profile backers included tech heavyweights and PE firms such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Planet First Partners, as well as tech billionaires Bill Gates (Breakthrough Energy Ventures), George Soros's Counterpoint Global and Stanley Druckenmiller. CFS will utilize the funds to develop its proprietary fusion device SPARC, a compact, tokamak device that aims to generate net-positive fusion energy by 2027. Unlike Helion’s Orion, SPARC is a 170,000-square-foot research and demonstration facility designed to prove that commercial fusion is scientifically and practically viable. By using HTS magnets developed in collaboration with MIT, SPARC can be built at a fraction of the size and cost of traditional fusion machines. The facility's subsystems, including cryoplants and magnet power systems, are currently being installed and commissioned
  
  That said, CFS is also designing ARC, which could be the world's first grid-scale commercial fusion power plant. Located in Virginia, ARC is expected to generate about 400 MW of zero-carbon power--enough electricity for roughly 150,000 homes. Construction is slated to begin after permitting, with the reactor scheduled to start generating power for the electrical grid in the early 2030s.
  
  Meanwhile, Munich-based deep-tech company Proxima Fusion recently raised €411 million, boosting its valuation to €2.4 billion and making it the best-funded and most valuable fusion company in Europe. Tech giant Google and German utility provider RWE signed on as critical industrial partners, each contributing €25 million. Proxima also received plenty of institutional support, with KfW Capital, Germany's deep-tech agency SPRIND, Burda Principal Investments, and the European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund joining alongside existing early backers like Plural and UVC Partners.
  
  As the first spin-off from the prestigious Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), Proxima Fusion builds on decades of scientific breakthroughs from Germany's Wendelstein-7-X program. The funds will help accelerate the vertical integration of Proxima and the construction of "Alpha," a net-energy fusion demonstrator targeted for the early 2030s near Munich. The company is building commercial power plants based on the Quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarator concept, a major physics breakthrough derived from the Max Planck Institute's Wendelstein 7-X programme.
  
  Unlike most commercial fusion competitors that use a donut-shaped "Tokamak" reactor architecture, Proxima is developing stellarators. While more challenging to design than tokamaks, stellarators use a complex, twisted magnetic cage layout that prevents plasma disruptions, allowing the plant to run continuously rather than in short pulses. This makes the stellarator design highly stable and structurally ideal for providing steady-state electricity to industrial power grids. Source: Oilprice.com

Read more The chairman of Kazakhstan’s Atomic Energy Agency, Almassadam Satkaliyev, is on an extended tour of nuclear-power facilities in China, gaining insight into PRC management techniques covering the entire development cycle, from designing to construction to operation of such entities. Satkaliyev visited a wide range of sites, from the Tianwan nuclear plant, which is fully operational, and the Xuwei nuclear facility, currently under construction, to uranium mining and fuel production sites and research and training entities. He also met with Chinese government officials and top executives of major nuclear companies. Satkaliyev’s tour occurred shortly after a visit to Kazakhstan by the head of China’s National Energy Administration, Wang Hongzhi. During that visit, the two countries signed a protocol defining future cooperation in the nuclear energy sphere. In 2025, Kazakhstan selected China’s National Nuclear Corp. to build two large-scale reactors in the Central Asian nation. The reciprocal visits of top nuclear energy officials indicate that bilateral cooperation is intensifying.
  
  Middle Corridor
  
  While Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Transport reports that construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan (CKU) railway is moving ahead, regional governments are planning around the CKU project. Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, for example, have agreed to establish a joint logistics center near the port of Baku and plan to launch a joint Caspian fleet to expedite freight movement along the Middle Corridor. Uzbekistan’s Deputy Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade, Khurram Teshabayev, explicitly linked the projects to the future CKU railway, arguing that it will become an increasingly important component of Eurasian supply chains.
  
  During a recent visit to Georgia, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev lauded the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which recently underwent modernization. He proposed exploring its integration with the CKU. Uzbek officials have also expressed general interest in participating in the construction of a deep-water port on the Black Sea at Anaklia, linking the project to the CKU and the Middle Corridor.
  
  Energy
  
  Kyrgyzstan wants to diversify its fuel imports as disruptions in Russia threaten supplies. China has emerged as a potential supplier. The PRC has agreed to supply 3,000 tons of jet fuel, while negotiations are underway for an additional 5,000 tons of diesel fuel, 24.kg reports citing the Kyrgyz first deputy chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers. Deliveries are expected to begin by the end of July.
  
  Tajikistan is also looking to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies and, with Chinese assistance, is actively exploring for oil and gas fields. China’s energy giant, CNPC, has already completed extensive gravity, magnetic, and geophysical surveys of potential Tajik energy reserves, with seismic exploration nearing completion. Those tests will determine the most promising locations for exploratory drilling, Ilkhom Oymukhammadzoda, who leads the Tajik government’s Main Geology Department, recently announced.
  
  Kazakhstan
  
  Kazakhstan’s low-cost airline, FlyArystan, has launched direct flights between Aktau and Urumqi in China’s western Xinjiang Province, adding a civilian aviation dimension to rapidly expanding Kazakh-Chinese connectivity that has, to date, focused on expanding rail freight and cross-border trade, reports DKNews.kz.
  
  China’s economic engagement is also extending into manufacturing. The Kazakh automotive company Allur recently signed a strategic partnership with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Li Auto to begin vehicle production in Kazakhstan.
  
  Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev met executives from Hong Kong-based companies Towngas and Full Vision Capital to discuss investments in renewable energy, sustainable aviation fuel, energy storage, agricultural processing and smart energy systems. The proposed projects would be developed in Alatau City, which Kazakh officials bill as a strategic project to create a regional IT hub, writes Tengri News.
  
  Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted the launch of the first-ever “Flying Hospital” mission under the Air Silk Road of Health initiative. The project, implemented jointly with Shanghai’s Fudan University Eye and ENT Hospital, combines mobile medical services with expanded cooperation in medical education, scientific research and healthcare workforce training, according to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
  
  Tajikistan
  
  The range of Tajik agricultural products authorized for the Chinese market is expanding. Tajikistan will start to export chicken feet and combs, along with fresh apricots, plums and melons, to China under a newly signed agreement between Tajikistan’s Committee for Food Security and China’s General Administration of Customs, the Asia-Plus news agency reports.
  
  Tajikistan’s Ministry of Finance and China’s International Development Cooperation Agency signed an MoU on development cooperation covering infrastructure, energy, and other priority projects, according to the Tajik state news agency Khovar.
  
  Turkmenistan
  
  Professors of Turkmenistan’s Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University visited China to participate in a professional development program at Xi’an Petroleum University and Hebei Petroleum Vocational and Technical University. In addition, students from the same Turkmen university are currently in China for practical training at China University of Petroleum in Beijing. Source: Oilprice.com
