Kremlin says US ties economic cooperation to Ukraine peace deal

InflationCapital Markets

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has expressed concern over former US President Donald Trump’s tough stance on Ukraine. Peskov said the United States is refusing to move forward with joint economic projects with Russia until the war in Ukraine is resolved. The Kremlin has proposed moving ahead without waiting for a peace agreement. According to Peskov, the US is linking any economic cooperation with Russia exclusively to the prior settlement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Moscow has indicated it would prefer to start collaborating before a peace deal is reached. Talks between Russia and the US are ongoing. The topics on the agenda include major economic projects, which Peskov described as mutually beneficial. “Implementing economic projects, including major ones, would benefit both Russia and America,” Peskov said. “But unfortunately, the Americans still tie the entire process, despite the clear benefits, to resolving the situation in Ukraine. In other words, they tell us: first the settlement, then the projects.

Global Crop Prices Log Biggest Quarterly Jump Since Ukraine Invasion As Sticky Inflation Hits Grocery Bills

BondsInflation

Global Crop Prices Log Biggest Quarterly Jump Since Ukraine Invasion As Sticky Inflation Hits Grocery Bills The Bloomberg Agriculture Spot Index (BCOMAGSP) posted its largest quarterly gain since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, as Black Sea disruptions, a crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and mounting El Niño risks have formed what could be considered a perfect storm poised to drive food prices higher. BCOMAGSP, which tracks 10 major crops including corn, soybeans, wheat, coffee, sugar, cotton, cocoa, and others, jumped 13% in the third quarter . Among individual movers, corn and wheat each climbed 15%, while soybeans gained 13%. Beyond the Russia-Ukraine fighting and disruptions to grain shipments from the Black Sea region, the next big threat to the crop space is a strengthening El Niño, on track to rank among the strongest on record. This puts various types of crops in major growing belts around the world at risk and has sent harvest yields plunging. Already, India's weakest monsoon season in a decade has added to concerns about harvests and food prices.

CIA chief reportedly warned Moscow that Russia cannot economically sustain war in Ukraine

Inflation

CIA Director John Ratcliffe delivered a US intelligence assessment to Moscow in late August warning that Russia cannot sustain the war economically, according to BILD, which cited F.A.Z.. The assessment reportedly concluded that, in the long term, Russia faces the risk of an economic collapse similar to the one that brought down the Soviet Union. BILD described Ratcliffe's message to the Kremlin as a call to negotiate. The Central Bank of Russia has forecast economic growth of 0–1% for 2026. Inflation is expected to reach 6–7% by the end of the year, with the key interest rate standing at 14%. The Russian Finance Ministry reported that, from January to August, state revenues totaled about 270 billion euros (about $308 billion), while expenditures reached around 331 billion euros (about $378 billion), leaving a deficit of roughly 60 billion euros (about $68 billion). Oil and gas revenues for the same period came to approximately 52 billion euros (about $59 billion)—a decrease of 16.7% compared to the same interval last year.

Trump is powerless to stop the one thing killing him at the ballot box

Inflation

If you think your energy costs are high now, the situation may be about to get a whole lot worse. With traffic in the Strait of Hormuz – normally the primary route for oil leaving the Middle East – hovering below 15% of prewar levels , oil prices have increased from US$65 a barrel before the conflict in Iran began in February 2026 to more than $100 a barrel in mid-September. When the U.S. and Israel first attacked Iran, analysts feared prices would soon reach $150 or even $200 a barrel. That hasn’t happened yet. But seven months into the conflict, with no clear end in sight, the global oil market has now largely exhausted the safety measures that exist to keep a lid on petroleum prices. As researchers who study the relationship between energy and national security , we have been following these dynamics throughout the conflict, and the oil market is now showing signs that significant price hikes – and perhaps even shortages – may be on the way. The squeeze tightens Some oil has been able to make it out of the Persian Gulf despite the closure of Hormuz.

Oil rises above $106, but crude is no longer the market’s biggest shortage

Inflation

Oil prices climbed on Monday after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, restoring some geopolitical premium to both Brent and West Texas Intermediate. Brent crude rose about 1.5% to $106 a barrel in Asian trading, while WTI gained roughly 1.1% to $93.40. The move reflected renewed concern over Middle East supply routes, but the more important shortage is increasingly further down the barrel: diesel and refining capacity remain considerably tighter than crude itself. That distinction matters for inflation. Middle East crude flows are recovering, while refiners are still struggling to replace lost diesel supply from the Gulf and Russia. That leaves freight, agriculture and industrial fuel costs unusually vulnerable to any fresh…

A 600% Stock Still Trading at 7X Earnings

Inflation

Oil pulls back, but the refiner story isn’t over … the S&P’s best stock still trades at 7X earnings … the screen behind Louis’ winners – and a Sept. 29 reveal As I write on Wednesday, West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTIC) trades below $92 as traders bet that diplomacy between Washington and Tehran will finally cool the Iran conflict, resulting in increased shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. $92 is a welcome relief from last week, when WTIC touched $106 a barrel after climbing almost 30% between late August and mid-September. This easing has been good news for most of the market over the last week. Sustained cheaper crude will take pressure off inflation, loosen the Fed’s bind, and ease a headwind on both the AI trade and equities more broadly. But if you’re an energy investor sitting on this year’s monster gains, a falling oil price raises a different question: Is it time to ring the register? What to do about your oil stocks today Legendary investor Louis Navellier, editor of Growth Investor , says not so fast – at least for one corner of the oil patch.

Russia Grabs Nestle Assets, Trump Holding Off on China Tariffs

Inflation

Russia Grabs Nestle Assets, Trump Holding Off on China Tariffs Russia took control of the local businesses of Swiss food giant Nestle and French supermarket chain Auchan in the Kremlin’s largest takeover of foreign corporate assets since at least 2024 amid rising tensions with Europe. The US is expected to hold off announcing new tariffs on China and other trading partners until after next week’s summit between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter, a delay that could preserve such a threat as leverage in the negotiations.

Trump boasts of major development in Russian invasion as oil prices skyrocket

Inflation

President Donald Trump announced on social media Monday that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop striking each other's energy infrastructure. "Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise!" Trump wrote in the post , signed "President DJT." He did not detail how or when the arrangement was reached, who brokered it or what mechanism would enforce it, and he also claimed that conflict – and not his war in Iran – was to blame for rising global fuel costs. "The World's Diesel price rise is mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran," he posted. Energy infrastructure has been a central target in the Russia-Ukraine war for years, with both sides accused of striking oil refineries, power plants, and fuel depots as a means of degrading the other's economy and military logistics. Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian refineries with long-range drone strikes, a campaign Kyiv has credited with disrupting Russian fuel supplies, while Russia has repeatedly bombarded Ukraine's power grid, particularly ahead of winter.
