Concerns about a worldwide oversupply of oil, which were anticipated to significantly lower crude prices, are diminishing due to robust energy demand. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting insights from Permian Basin driller Diamondback. The company noted that the anticipated drop in oil prices has not materialized as demand continues to be resilient. Diamondback's observations come amid broader industry expectations that the global oil market would face a surplus, potentially leading to a price collapse. However, the sustained demand has helped stabilize the market, alleviating fears of a significant downturn. The energy sector has been closely monitoring these developments, as the balance between supply and demand plays a crucial role in determining oil prices. The current situation suggests that the market may remain stable, contrary to earlier predictions of a glut. Industry analysts are now reassessing their forecasts, taking into account the persistent demand that has countered the anticipated oversupply. This shift in outlook is providing some relief to oil producers and investors who had been bracing for a potential price drop. As the market continues to evolve, stakeholders are keeping a close watch on demand trends and production levels to gauge future price movements. The resilience in demand is a key factor in maintaining market stability, offering a more optimistic perspective for the oil industry.

With the passage of the "Bigger & Better" bill in July 2025, US tax law has permanently reinstated the 100% bonus depreciation policy for compliant equipment. This policy allows investors to fully deduct the cost of mining hardware in the first year, whereas previously the depreciation rate was only 40%. Beau Turner, CEO of Abundant Mines, stated that Bitcoin mining has become one of the most advantageous tax deduction strategies in the crypto space. Because the company's structure allows customers to directly own and hold ownership of the equipment, the related assets are recorded on the individual or entity's balance sheet, thus enabling full depreciation. This tax deduction strategy applies not only to institutions but also to individual investors who purchase a single mining rig, allowing them to deduct earned income tax, and the policy does not set an income cap.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning to countries considering abandoning recent trade agreements with the United States, stating that he may impose higher tariffs and potentially levy fees on trading partners. According to RTHK, Trump made these remarks through multiple posts on his social media platform, cautioning nations against "playing tricks." He emphasized that despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs as invalid, the decision confirmed his authority to utilize other laws to impose tariffs in a more forceful and deterrent manner. The U.S. Trade Representative's office responded to Trump's plan. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump's use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to increase tariffs was illegal. In response, Trump signed an executive order the same evening, invoking another trade law to impose a new 10% global tariff, which he raised to the legal maximum of 15% within 24 hours.
