    GET THIS IN YOUR INBOX FIRST: Subscribe to CNBC's "Power Insider" newsletter. The three hardest words for anyone on Wall Street to utter. Knowing things — or at least knowing enough to make a solid estimate — is one of Wall Street's core jobs. Analysts, bankers and traders have access to the best information and systems. They are paid very handsomely to know more than we do. So it's refreshingly honest to hear someone on Wall Street admit they don't know. Which is exactly what the team at JP

    SUBSCRIBE TO CNBC'S "POWER INSIDER NEWSLETTER It was one of the most eye-opening and fascinating business trips in my 30-year career: the opportunity to travel to Venezuela to witness firsthand the signing of oil deals between the government in Caracas and Venezuelan and Western oil companies. CNBC was one of just a handful of news organizations allowed to travel to Caracas with the U.S. secretary of energy. The trip was barely 24 hours long and was tightly scheduled.

    SUBSCRIBE TO CNBC'S "POWER INSIDER NEWSLETTER Exactly how many ships - and how much oil - are getting through the Strait of Hormuz? With apologies to Shakespeare's Hamlet, that is the question. We know that the amount of oil and other products is well below its pre-war levels. No one is arguing the market is supplied at the same level it was at the start of the year, when fully 20% of all the world's oil was sourced through the narrow Gulf corridor. We also know that Iran continues to assert con

    SUBSCRIBE TO CNBC'S "POWER INSIDER NEWSLETTER Greetings from Colorado, where I had the opportunity to do a nearly hour-long chat with the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission. While most of the conversation with Andrew Ferguson was about A.I. and Big Tech, we did venture a little bit into energy vis-à -vis Europe and its energy woes. 'Woes' is the correct term. The continent has been in a constant state of nervousness since the Nord Stream pipeline was blown up in 2022. My take →  It's incre

    Top energy plays for the rest of the year... including a 'behind-the-meter' power play (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SUBSCRIBE TO CNBC'S "POWER INSIDER NEWSLETTER Since we last published Power Insider, U.S. crude oil dropped nearly $10 dollars per barrel before clawing back some of those declines. In the months since the Iran war began, oil has shifted 40% top-to-recent-bottom. The CNBC chart above captures the chaos, as the back and forth drama continues around the Strait.
