This is the call as published on Thu, Sep 24, 2026. See today's judgment

JUDGMENT OF RECORD

Oil's peace discount lasted two days. Missiles aimed at Yanbu put the Saudi bypass route at risk, and Brent is back near $108.

Saudi Arabia intercepted Houthi missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu on Sept 24. Yanbu is where the East-West pipeline, the route around Hormuz, reaches the Red Sea. Brent traded near $108 on Sept 24, after falling below $100 on Sept 22.

The pipeline restart is still sourced only to unnamed people, and Aramco has not confirmed it. A bypass that can be targeted does not cap the risk premium. Iran's hard-liners pushed back on the talks on Sept 23.

On the grid, Maryland on Sept 23 made ratepayer protection a test for projects of 25 MW or more. New Jersey fined a data center $1.07M on Sept 22 for 62 unpermitted gas generators.
