Oil Surges As Trump Asserts Control Over Strait Of Hormuz; What Happens Now
Oil prices surged as President Trump announced a blockade on Iranian ports and a fee-based safe passage for other countries through the Strait of Hormuz. This move escalates tensions in a region critical for global oil supply, as the Strait of Hormuz is a vital chokepoint for oil shipments. The U.S. response follows Iranian military actions targeting vessels, which has heightened fears of further conflict and disruption in oil flows. With U.S.-Iran negotiations stalled, the likelihood of military escalation has increased, contradicting previous market assumptions that such flare-ups would not lead to war. Investors should brace for volatility as geopolitical risks now loom larger over oil markets, potentially driving prices higher. The situation underscores the fragility of supply chains in the region, which could lead to tighter oil inventories and increased prices if disruptions occur. Additionally, the prospect of a blockade may prompt countries reliant on this route to seek alternative supply sources, further straining global oil markets. As tensions rise, market participants will need to closely monitor developments in U.S.-Iran relations and their implications for oil supply and pricing. Overall, the current geopolitical climate suggests that oil prices could remain elevated as uncertainty persists.

Update: US Equity Indexes Slump, Crude Oil Soars as Trump Plans to Reinstate Iran Blockade, Impose 20% Toll on Hormuz Cargo
Crude oil prices surged as geopolitical tensions escalated with plans to reinstate the Iran blockade and impose a 20% toll on cargoes passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This move signals a tightening of supply in a region critical for global oil transport, which could lead to further price increases as market participants react to the potential disruption. The reinstatement of the blockade raises concerns about Iran's oil exports, which could further strain an already volatile market. As US equity indexes slump, investors are likely seeking refuge in commodities like oil, driving prices higher amid uncertainty. The potential for increased shipping costs due to the toll could also contribute to upward pressure on oil prices, as these costs are typically passed along the supply chain. Additionally, the geopolitical landscape remains fragile, and any escalation could lead to further supply disruptions. With the market already sensitive to OPEC's production decisions and US output levels, these developments could exacerbate existing supply concerns. Investors should closely monitor the situation, as sustained high prices could impact global demand and economic growth. Overall, the combination of geopolitical risks and potential supply constraints is likely to keep oil prices elevated in the near term.

Drill hole MHDD004 intersected shallow copper oxide mineralisation from 14-67.5m, with multiple mineralised intervals extending the depth of known skarn mineralisation, including intervals such as 5m from 74m, 10m from 94.5m, and 40m from 232m. Drill hole MHDD003 intersected a large fault-bound anhydrite breccia zone from 190m to 220m, interpreted as a key structural pathway linking the parent porphyry to the Blue Rose skarn. In 2025, Cobra sold its Wudinna Gold Assets to Barton Gold (ASX: BDG) for up to A$15 million in cash and shares. The company projects that assay results are anticipated from August and that a follow-up RC drilling programme is planned for September.

Beetaloo Energy Australia Confirms Stable Carpentaria-5H Gas Flow
(ASX:BTL) Beetaloo Energy Australia has completed a 30-day initial production flow test at the Carpentaria-5H well, achieving an average rate of 6.9 terajoules per day. The Northern Territory shale gas well recorded a peak rate above 14 terajoules per day and finished the test at 6.7TJ/day after maintaining a low rate of decline. The stable production profile supports the previously estimated 2C recoverable gas resource of approximately 10 petajoules at the well location. The latest test began on 11 June 2026 and followed an earlier 30-day clean-up period that averaged 7.1TJ/day and recorded an exit rate of 6.3TJ/day. Carpentaria-5H incorporates a 3,310-metre horizontal section, of which 2,955m was fracture stimulated, and the completion comprised 67 slickwater stages using approximately 11,000t of proppant at an average intensity of 2,295 pounds per foot. Water production declined from about 1,300 barrels per day to approximately 440 barrels per day during the IP30 test. Beetaloo Energy anticipates commissioning the Carpentaria plant during the fourth quarter of 2026 before commencing first gas sales from the pilot project.
Greenvale Energy Identifies 13 Priority Uranium Targets at Thunderball Project
(ASX: GRV) Greenvale Energy has identified 13 clustered uranium anomalies following a high-resolution airborne magnetics-radiometrics (AMR) survey across its Thunderball project in the Northern Territory. Four of the anomalies are located along the highly prospective Hayes Creek Fault Zone, and one is believed to correlate with the historical Spectre prospect first recognised in 2009. A strong radiometric anomaly estimated to be 4 kilometres long and up to 900 metres wide indicates a potential palaeochannel feature. The AMR survey covered 4,313-line kilometres flown at a 100-metre line spacing and a nominal height of 50m, providing high-resolution magnetic and radiometric data across the tenement. Greenvale has launched a geological mapping and sampling program focused on the high-priority anomalies identified at Hayes Creek and progressing to the palaeochannel target at the western boundary. The company believes the survey provides validation of its decision to acquire the Pine Creek uranium project in June and significantly enhances the value of the tenure. The emergence of potential sandstone-hosted uranium along with unconformity-style deposits is noted as making the ground particularly unique.

A 20-Year Fusion Bet Just Closed Its Business Combination, and a New Kind of Energy Stock Is About to Reach the Public Markets
(NASDAQ: GFUZ) General Fusion Group Ltd. has completed its previously announced business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), clearing the way for the company to enter the public markets as, by its own account, the first publicly listed fusion company. General Fusion is entering the public markets with approximately US$150 million in cash, inclusive of net transaction proceeds from the private placement and trust capital. The company states that this capital is expected to fund General Fusion's Lawson program through several key technical milestones, which the Company aims to complete in 2028. The company's Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) program is anchored by its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) demonstration machine in Vancouver. LM26 mechanically compresses plasma with a lithium liner at 50 percent of commercial-scale diameter based on current design parameters, and is designed to pursue a sequence of technical milestones: plasma heating to 1 keV, then to 10 keV, and ultimately the Lawson criterion. Common stock and warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols GFUZ and GFUZW. The company projects that the funding will advance the next phase of its MTF program and aims to demonstrate and de-risk its MTF technology in a commercially relevant way by 2028.
