Soaring oil prices on the heels of this week’s announcement by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its partners sent analysts scrambling to hike their estimates for the rest of 2023.

Comment on this storyComments

Why not track it—as in, see what trips need to be booked and finalized, which ones are ongoing, which…
Stocks wobble, Nasdaq sinks as gold rallies: Stock market news today
US stocks were mostly down, with tech stocks sinking more markedly, after another hiring report showed a slowdown in private-sector job growth and a separate print showed growth at US service providers also experienced a pullback.

Meanwhile, on the commodities front, gold futures (GC=F) are hovering at their…
