T1 Energy at Center of $2.4 Billion Tax-Credit Dispute

T1 Energy at Center of $2.4 Billion Tax-Credit Dispute

T1 Energy Inc. looks headed for fresh swings on Friday, following a turbulent week for the small U.S. solar company. A short-seller’s attack, pushback from an analyst, and a surge in trading have pushed the shares into focus among clean-energy names. The stock finished Thursday at $8.72, gaining 0.23%. That comes after a jump of over 25% on Wednesday. Trading volume touched 79.1 million shares on Thursday, which is about 282% above its three-month average. The S&P 500 was up 0.18% and the Nasdaq Composite ticked higher by 0.09%.

Dow Sets New High as Oil, Nvidia Unsettle Wall Street

Dow Sets New High as Oil, Nvidia Unsettle Wall Street

Dow Jones finished at an all-time high Thursday, up 276.31 points, or 0.6%, to close at 50,285.66, as IBM surged. The broader market bounced back from morning declines as oil prices slipped. The S&P 500 was up 12.75 points, or 0.2%, to 7,445.72. Nasdaq Composite ended higher by 22.74 points, or 0.1%, at 26,293.10. Oil has been steering the market more than earnings. Brent crude inched above $109 before sliding 2.3% to finish at $102.58. The drop took some pressure off fears that rising energy costs would stoke inflation and drive up bond yields. When yields climb, stocks can lose their shine.

T1 Energy shares rise as hedge fund moves, short attack draw attention

T1 Energy shares rise as hedge fund moves, short attack draw attention

T1 Energy shares rallied roughly 17% at the open in New York on Wednesday. The move stretched a volatile streak, as the market took in news of a hedge fund buying in while a short seller targets the solar maker’s tax-credit claims. The shares were last at $8.06, according to Google Finance. T1 is looking to show investors it can win in the U.S. solar supply chain as Washington steps up scrutiny of foreign ties in clean-energy manufacturing. The company needs to ramp up its Dallas module plant and get funding for G2_Austin, a solar-cell site in Texas where initial production is slated for the fourth quarter.

San Antonio’s New Battery Bet Comes Just as CPS Outages Get Longer

San Antonio’s New Battery Bet Comes Just as CPS Outages Get Longer

OCI Energy and CPS Energy have started construction on a 120-megawatt battery storage project in southeastern Bexar County, moving a long-planned grid resource into the build phase as San Antonio’s public utility deals with longer outages and rising power demand. The Alamo City Battery Energy Storage System, or BESS, is meant to charge when power is available and discharge when electricity demand is high. The timing is the point. CPS Energy’s own board materials show average customer outage duration rose to 75.38 minutes in calendar 2025, missing a 64.15-minute target, while more frequent storms, equipment failures and safety-related circuit shutdowns hurt performance.

Exxon, Chevron Say Oil Reserves Hit by Hormuz Choke, More Volatility Ahead

Exxon, Chevron Say Oil Reserves Hit by Hormuz Choke, More Volatility Ahead

Exxon Mobil and Chevron say oil markets aren’t factoring in the full impact from the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. Latest reserve and inventory numbers show governments are burning through stockpiles to keep fuel flowing. U.S. government sent out 9.9 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve last week, setting a record as the buffer gets smaller. The International Energy Agency said commercial inventories are running down fast, with just “several weeks” left for some reserves.

Europe Faces Fresh LNG Worry, This Time From the US

Europe Faces Fresh LNG Worry, This Time From the US

Europe is relying more on U.S. liquefied natural gas as it cuts use of Russian pipeline gas, with Poland among the countries most dependent on American LNG, data from Rzeczpospolita and IEEFA show. The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis thinks the U.S. will provide about two-thirds of Europe’s LNG in 2026, and could supply up to 80% of EU LNG by 2028. Europe is pushing to end its reliance on Russian gas just as Qatari export disruptions and tighter global LNG supplies force U.S. cargoes to fill the gap. On Tuesday, U.S. gas exporters asked the EU to put off applying a new methane emissions law to 2028, saying uncertainty around the rule is stalling long-term supply contracts.

Natural Gas Gains as Output Slips and an Early Heat Wave Builds

Natural Gas Gains as Output Slips and an Early Heat Wave Builds

U.S. natural gas futures jumped Friday, rising almost 3% to their highest level in seven weeks. Prices hit $2.96 per million British thermal units, up 2.31% on the day. Traders pointed to lighter production and expectations for milder weather as the main catalysts. Reuters highlighted the 3% move and tied it to falling output. As the spring “shoulder season” fades—the gap between peak winter heating demand and the summer air-conditioning climb—market attention is shifting. Output has eased even as power demand starts to pick up, quickly tightening the day-to-day supply-demand balance.

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Late Wednesday, U.S. energy names split direction. Exxon Mobil managed a slight 0.4% gain, but Chevron dropped 0.5% and ConocoPhillips shed 0.6%. Oil stuck above $100 a barrel, but concerns about inflation and interest rates kept enthusiasm in check. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped 0.1% as of 2:59 p.m. EDT. The split is significant—energy stocks aren’t just tracking crude prices anymore. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude held above $100, though oil edged down during the session. According to Reuters, traders digested the prospect of U.S. rate hikes and eyed the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing.

Energy Vault’s Eskom Gravity Storage Deal Puts South Africa’s Coal Pivot on the Clock

Energy Vault’s Eskom Gravity Storage Deal Puts South Africa’s Coal Pivot on the Clock

Energy Vault Holdings Inc. and Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. have inked a strategic development agreement aiming to install a gravity-based energy storage system at Eskom’s Hendrina Power Station. The project offers South Africa’s state-run utility a fresh shot at repurposing coal assets, as the nation pushes to stabilize its grid and tackle emissions. Energy Vault’s initial project aims to provide 25 MW of output over a four-hour stretch, totaling 100 MWh, all powered by its EVx 2.0 technology. According to both firms, there’s room to ramp up capacity dramatically—potentially reaching 4 GW—at Hendrina, an aging Eskom coal plant.

Trump’s Gas Price ‘Nuclear Option’ Faces Iran-Hormuz Test as Oil Falls Below $100

Trump’s Gas Price ‘Nuclear Option’ Faces Iran-Hormuz Test as Oil Falls Below $100

Brent crude slipped under $100 a barrel on Thursday as the U.S. and Iran moved closer to a tentative deal to pause their conflict—a step that relieves some pressure on President Donald Trump but keeps U.S. gasoline prices hovering near multi-year highs. According to Reuters, the draft agreement aims to halt hostilities, shore up shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and create a 30-day window for broader negotiations, though key nuclear issues would remain unsettled. So far, drivers aren’t seeing much benefit. The U.S. average for regular gas climbed to $4.558 per gallon on May 7, according to AAA, nudging higher from $4.536 the previous day and $4.300 a week earlier. Diesel? That’s even higher, at $5.674.

Shell Stock Drops After $6.9 Billion Profit Beat as Buyback Cut Hits Investors

Shell Stock Drops After $6.9 Billion Profit Beat as Buyback Cut Hits Investors

Shell Plc slid 3.9% Thursday, giving up ground after the company dialed back its quarterly share buyback—even as first-quarter profit came in ahead of forecasts. Investors shrugged off the earnings beat; BP lost ground as well, dragging the broader European energy index lower. This cut is significant. Buybacks—a company snapping up its own shares, typically to shrink the share count—have been central to the Shell stock story. Shell maintains it aims for total shareholder distributions between 40% and 50% of operating cash flow over time, splitting that between dividends and buybacks.

Shell’s $16.4 Billion ARC Resources Deal Puts Canada LNG Back in the Spotlight

Shell’s $16.4 Billion ARC Resources Deal Puts Canada LNG Back in the Spotlight

Shell’s move to acquire ARC Resources is thrusting Canada’s Montney shale into the LNG spotlight again. LNG Canada shipped over 1 million metric tons in April—a first for the project in a single month. If the US$16.4 billion deal goes through, Shell will secure more gas near its Pacific Coast terminal, which is already delivering cargoes to Asia. The timing is key: LNG Canada—40% owned by Shell—creates a direct line between western Canadian gas and Asian markets. LNG stands for liquefied natural gas, essentially natural gas cooled into liquid for easier shipping by tanker. Industry voices see the ARC deal as giving more weight to the argument for growing this export channel.

DocuSign Stock Jumps as AI Contract Push Faces a Fresh Test After Quarter Close

DocuSign Stock Jumps as AI Contract Push Faces a Fresh Test After Quarter Close

Shares of DocuSign Inc. climbed roughly 4.3% Friday, last changing hands at $47.96. Investors circled back to the e-signature firm’s push into AI-based contract management after its fiscal first quarter wrapped up a day ago. The stock’s run-up nudged DocuSign’s market capitalization to just under $10 billion. Timing is key here. DocuSign’s upcoming report is set to reveal if its Intelligent Agreement Management platform—IAM for short—is finally showing traction beyond just fueling the growth narrative. The IAM software aims to let companies handle contracts end-to-end: storing, reviewing, automating tasks rather than only dispatching documents for electronic signatures.

PECO’s New Boss Faces Safety Fight as Union Seeks State Probe of Aging Poles

PECO’s New Boss Faces Safety Fight as Union Seeks State Probe of Aging Poles

Just days after Mike Innocenzo returned to lead Exelon’s Philadelphia utility, PECO, a union for the company’s workers is urging state utility regulators to open a probe into the electric distribution system. The request steps up pressure on PECO as questions swirl around its management shake-up. On Thursday, IBEW Local 614—representing roughly 1,400 PECO employees—submitted a petition to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. The union is pushing the commission, which regulates utility rates and service statewide, to scrutinize PECO’s repair methods. According to WHYY, the petition features close to 100 photos showing what the union describes as damaged utility poles, faulty wires, deteriorated or absent cross arms, and loose transformers.

Indiana Gas Prices Near $5 as Refinery Outage, Iran War Hit Drivers

Indiana Gas Prices Near $5 as Refinery Outage, Iran War Hit Drivers

Gas prices in Indiana surged close to the $5 mark on Thursday, sending the state’s average for regular unleaded soaring past the national figure. Stations across northern and central Indiana posted pump prices not seen in years. According to AAA, Indiana's average hit $4.417, while the national average stood at $4.300. It’s landing during a brief state fuel-tax break—rather than after—so the timing’s sharp. Oil prices are already on the upswing, with restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz rattling global supply; that’s the key Gulf corridor for nearly 20% of the world’s oil and LNG. On top of that, fuel supplies in the Midwest are getting squeezed after issues at the Whiting refinery.

Oil Crisis Just Changed Fossil Fuels Forever, IEA Chief Warns as Brent Tops $110

Oil Crisis Just Changed Fossil Fuels Forever, IEA Chief Warns as Brent Tops $110

The oil shock triggered by the Iran war is morphing into more than just a surge in prices, according to International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol. In his words to the Guardian, the crisis has shattered faith in fossil fuels and will leave “permanent consequences” on global energy markets. “The vase is broken, the damage is done,” Birol said. The warning came as Brent crude jumped to $111.22 a barrel on Tuesday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate hovered close to $99. Disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz followed stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations. “Oil above $110 is evidence that markets are repricing geopolitical risk,” said Jorge Leon, an analyst with Rystad Energy.

  • Gold Jumps Over $4,100 as Weak Jobs Data Shifts Fed Bets
    July 2, 2026, 12:51 PM EDT. Gold surged 2.4% to $4,126.97 an ounce after U.S. payrolls for June came in at 57,000, missing the 110,000 forecast. Payroll revisions for April and May subtracted 74,000 jobs from earlier totals, turning the picture for the labor market softer and pushing traders to dial back Fed rate hike bets. That lifted gold, a usual winner as rate cut hopes rise. Central banks added 41 tonnes to reserves in May, snapping up about $5.4 billion in bullion. Layoffs remain low even as jobs growth slows, making the outlook for a recession less clear and helping drive gold demand with investors now watching potential moves from the Fed.
