Wood MacKenzie Report Identifies Challenges to American Energy Dominance

Currently, the United States is the largest producer of these resources, accounting for 25% and 20% of gas and oil output globally. Last year, America was the biggest exporter of liquified natural gas. The country has seen its production increase threefold over the past decade or so, largely because of the shale revolution which saw the production of natural gas and oil surge dramatically mainly due to the application of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques to extract these resources from shale rock formations.…

Analysts believe this move could further escalate the ongoing global trade war, prompting more countries to retaliate with their own tariffs in response to America’s recent actions. China, one of the hardest hit…

While geopolitical and economic instability have long influenced the demand for this precious metal, a growing trend where countries reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar seems to be playing a role behind the current surge. Nations are diversifying reserves, inflation fears are rising, and institutional investors are turning to gold-backed assets. This shift, often referred to as dedollarization, is prompting many investors and governments to seek more independent and stable stores of value, with gold emerging as…
