Canada’s oil industry won a tax break letting it immediately expense investments, backing an expected C$100 billion ($71.8 billion) in spending over the next decade on production growth, a new west-coast pipeline and carbon capture. — Bloomberg
Risk lens: Bullish (Canadian heavy-crude supply) — a rare alignment between Ottawa and the oil sands industry points to durable capacity growth aimed at diversifying away from the US market.
India warned Washington that a US bill allowing tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian oil could hurt bilateral ties, as its state refiners face the most significant supply uncertainty in months. — Bloomberg
Risk lens: Bullish (non-Russian crude premium) — forcing India to replace a large share of its Russian-linked barrels would tighten the pool of alternative supply available to the market.
Gas & Power
Sourced from Bloomberg’s Energy Daily.
Germany’s renewable-energy developers are entering a shakeout after years of rapid expansion, with worsening project economics pushing a growing number into financial distress. — Bloomberg
Risk lens: Bearish (German renewables financing) — a developer shakeout signals tightening project economics that could slow new capacity additions just as power demand keeps climbing.
