US liquefied natural gas exports reached a record 10.28 million short tons in August, driven by increased output from Venture Global's Plaquemines facility and the completion of maintenance at other plants. Europe remained the primary destination, receiving 66% of the exports, while exports to Latin America declined due to higher production from Trinidad and Tobago.

Oil prices slipped nearly 2% Wednesday as traders anticipated an OPEC+ meeting that may accelerate the unwinding of production cuts. Despite prior pledges to raise quotas, actual output has lagged due to member constraints, while US sanctions and falling crude inventories offered limited support. Weak economic signals and trade pressures further weighed on demand outlook.

Yesterday at the White House, Trump told reporters that his administration would be asking the Supreme Court for an “expedited ruling” as soon as today regarding last week’s finding by an appeals court that said most of the tariffs implemented by the Trump admin this year are illegal. The appeals court delayed its own ruling from taking effect until Oct. 14 so that the Supreme Court could weigh in and potentially overturn its decision. “If you take away tariffs, we could end up being a third-world country,” Trump said.
Google doesn’t have to sell Chrome. That’s the big takeaway from the ruling that US District Judge Amit Mehta handed down yesterday, almost a year after he found that Google held an illegal monopoly in search. The Department of Justice had suggested that the search giant sell off its browser as recompense for the situation, but Mehta wrote, “Plaintiffs overreached in seeking forced divestiture.” Instead, GOOG can no longer broker exclusive search contracts, and it must share the data it uses to determine what search results to show. Google said it would appeal the decision, which would allow it to delay paying penalties.

OPEC+ might wait for more data after the conclusion of the U.S. summer driving season before it makes its next move, independent analyst Gaurav Sharma said, given an expected supply surplus in the last quarter of the year.
Saudi Aramco and Iraq's state oil company SOMO have stopped selling crude oil to India's Nayara Energy in the aftermath of sanctions imposed in July by the European Union on the Russian-backed refiner, three sources familiar with the matter said.
"The market is starting to wonder how that will impact flows. There is some concern about availability in the non-sanctioned pool of oil which may be becoming more dear supply-wise, as there is going to be less opportunity to buy these grey market barrels if sanctions ratchet up," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital.
