Trump gives stern warning to keep oil prices low

President Donald Trump is talking tough on oil prices after the weekend’s strikes against Iran in a series of Truth social posts this morning.

• Tankers are dodging the Strait of Hormuz: After the U.S. hit three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, 2025, at least six vessels, including two massive oil tankers, turned away from this critical trade route due to fears of conflict or closure, though three later resumed course towards the strait.

• Iran’s Response and Market Jitters: Iran’s retaliatory threats and potential to target Gulf oil infrastructure have markets on edge, with analysts warning that a prolonged conflict could spike global oil prices significantly, impacting gas prices worldwide.

• Security risks are spiking: Reports of GPS jamming, electronic interference, and a recent tanker collision near the strait are making shipowners nervous, with some, like Frontline, refusing new contracts to sail there amid rising insurance costs.

• Oil markets could feel the heat: The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of global oil, so any disruption could spike energy prices, especially with Iran’s parliament threatening to block the route, though experts say a full closure is unlikely.

• Trump’s Push for Lower Oil Prices Clashes with Tensions: Despite Trump’s goal of keeping oil prices around $50 per barrel, his aggressive stance, including threats of regime change in Iran, risks driving prices toward $100 if the conflict worsens or Iran disrupts the Strait of Hormuz.

Uber and Lyft’s ultimate nemesis just took to the streets of Austin

Tesla just kicked off its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. It marks Tesla’s first step into the driverless ride-hailing game, putting them in direct competition with companies like Waymo and more broadly Uber and Lyft. This could be a game-changer for Tesla’s future and the whole rideshare industry.

• Limited Launch with Model Y: Tesla’s robotaxi service debuted on June 22, 2025, in Austin using a small fleet of Model Y vehicles equipped with a new "unsupervised" Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, offering rides to select users for a flat $4.20 fee.

• Safety and Expansion Plans: The service is geofenced to safer areas of Austin, with remote monitoring by Tesla staff, and CEO Elon Musk aims to scale up to hundreds of thousands of self-driving cars by next year, with plans to expand to Los Angeles and San Francisco.

• Competition and Challenges: Tesla’s entry pits it against Waymo, which already handles 10 million trips, but the launch faced pushback from Texas lawmakers and safety advocates concerned about regulations and Tesla’s camera-only FSD technology.
