Oil prices zig-zagged between negative and positive territory yesterday as traders weighed supply disruptions against the potential restart of peace talks between the US and Iran that could help limit those disruptions. Prices rose 2% earlier in the day on fears of renewed military escalation in the region after Iran released footage on Thursday of commandos boarding a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, and as progress stalled on re-opening the key waterway.Crude futures then pulled back after Reuters reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was expected to arrive in Islamabad late on Friday to discuss proposals for resuming peace talks with the US after talks collapsed earlier this week.Prices fell further after CNN reported that US President Donald Trump was sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with Iran’s foreign minister. “The (Strait of Hormuz) disruption has created a complex logistical challenge that will take time to resolve …. Clearing this backlog will take weeks, as vessels are sequenced through ports that are themselves operating under constrained conditions,” said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen in a note.Brent crude futures were down 58 cents, or 0.6%, at $104.49, and US West Texas Intermediate futures were down $2.31, or around 2.1%, to $93.54. “Traders are liquidating length ahead of an unusually unpredictable weekend and will readjust their positions Sunday night based on Iranian developments,” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM.For the week, Brent is up about 16% and WTI 11%, the second-largest weekly gains since the war began. Navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war carried about a fifth of global oil output, remains effectively blocked. Iran’s capture of two cargo ships highlighted Washington’s difficulties in trying to control the passage.Only five ships, including an Iranian oil products tanker, have moved through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, shipping data showed. – Reuters Source link
The White House said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is “discussing a range of options” to acquire Greenland, making clear that using the US military is not off the table. “President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Tuesday statement to CNN. “The President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the US Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal,” the statement added. Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt announced that she had requested a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio following the recent statements issued by the US government. Motzfeldt said in in a Facebook post that Greenland had made the request along with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen. Source link
– Hyundai Motor Group announced Tuesday a strategic partnership between Boston Dynamics, its US-based robotics unit, and Google to accelerate the development of humanoid robotics technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) for future manufacturing application.The partnership was announced in CES 2026, a major technology exhibition under way in Las Vegas.The South Korean automotive group clarified in a report that Boston Dynamics will combine its cutting-edge robotics capabilities with AI foundation models of Google DeepMind, the US tech giant’s AI research lab.The move follows Hyundai Motor’s agreement last year with Nvidia Corp. to enhance the group’s physical AI capabilities, part of the group’s growing cooperation with leading global technology firms. The automotive group also plans to consolidate the capabilities of key units to build an AI robotics ecosystem and establish a system capable of producing 30,000 robot units annually by 2028, according to (Yonhap) News Agency. In addition, the group plans to open a robotics training facility, named Robot Metaplant Application Center (RMAC), in the US later this year to conduct pretraining before robots are deployed for manufacturing application. This step follows a partnership announced by Hyndai Motor last year with Nvidia, aimed at enhancing the group’s efforts in the artificial intelligence capabilities, as a part of the group’s growth with global leading technology companies.
