Buy The Rumor, Sell The News

June 25, 2025

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss key developments in global energy markets. Trump’s shift allows China to purchase Iranian oil, signaling a significant pivot in U.S. policy. China has strategically stored vast amounts of oil, preparing for potential Middle East disruptions. Meanwhile, the Texas legislature made strides in addressing grid reliability but didn’t fully resolve the issue. The show highlights geopolitical tensions, oil price fluctuations, and market trends, with a focus on supply and demand dynamics, including a potential 800 million barrel draw from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
