💥💥Pakistan is undergoing major changes in its energy and trade policies. The government recently introduced a Rs50 billion subsidy for electricity users consuming up to 200 units per month, aiming to ease the financial strain on low-income households. This decision followed widespread backlash against a proposed 51% tariff hike, which was later reversed for protected consumers.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has imposed a 29% tariff on Pakistani exports, citing a trade surplus. In response, Pakistan is considering the import of U.S. crude oil to help balance trade relations and mitigate tariff pressures. The Reko Diq copper-gold project, partly funded by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, has also emerged as a key factor in ongoing tariff negotiations.
These shifts underline Pakistan's efforts to control domestic energy costs while carefully maneuvering through complex international trade challenges.

The former head of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission believes President Trump may be forced to ease his anti-renewable energy stance — driven by economic realities and pushback from within key industries.
While Trump remains focused on boosting fossil fuel production, he’s also committed to lowering consumer energy costs and expanding the domestic data center industry as part of a broader national security strategy.
To meet those goals, a more flexible approach to renewable energy may be unavoidable, says former FERC Chair Neil Chatterjee.
In a twist, Trump’s attempts to stall offshore wind development could be challenged — not by environmentalists, but by the oil and gas sector itself, which sees potential synergy and shared infrastructure.

🚨 MARKET FOCUS: U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright pushes for 60-day grid access for AI and Bitcoin miners ⚡
• Wright has asked Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to fast-track connection approvals for large electricity users (loads > 20 MW) to high-voltage grid.
• Approvals that once took years could be done in about 60 days if facilities shoulder upgrade costs.
• Crypto miners and AI data centers are explicitly mentioned as key beneficiaries of the policy shift.
Big implications for the $BTC mining industry and industrial-scale crypto infrastructure in the U.S. 🛠️

🚨 TRUMP’S CLEAN-ENERGY SWERVE — WHAT IT MEANS FOR COMMODITIES, INVESTORS & THE FUTURE 🚨
Donald Trump is making bold shifts in U.S. energy and industrial policy — and the reverberations are hitting commodities, supply chains, and renewable plays across the market.
🔋 What’s happening
• The administration announced a fast-track approval for new oil & gas pipeline projects and a review of subsidies for solar and wind, signalling a pivot back toward fossil fuels.
• At the same time, steel tariffs are being tightened and rare-earth import rules loosened — a move seen as boosting U.S. domestic production of EV components, but also threatening supply-chain disruptions overseas.
• Trump publicly stated that the U.S. will prioritize “American-made batteries, mines, plants” before any foreign-made clean-technology imports.
📊 Why markets should care
• Commodities: Higher demand for coal, oil, steel, rare-earths = possible price pressure for these inputs, which has implications for inflation and industrial margins.
• Clean-Energy equities: Companies relying on imported solar panels, or overseas supply-chains, may face cost escalation and regulatory headwinds.
• Infrastructure and manufacturing: Domestic miners, metal-producers, heavy-industry get a potential boost — but many are deeply exposed to global cost, labour and trade variables.
✅ What you should do now
✔ Re-assess exposures in clean-tech companies with heavy import-loads or global supply-chains.
✔ Consider commodity opportunities in rare-earths, steel and batteries — policies may favour domestic production.
✔ Monitor inflation-input dynamics: If raw-material prices rise due to policy shift, central banks and rates come into play.
✔ Stay humble: Policy-driven shifts like this carry risk of backlash, regulatory changes, and global retaliation.

Trump’s oil donors are cashing in big time, and they’re not shy about it! Here’s the full rundown
🔥 Oil Tycoons at the Top: Big names like Harold Hamm (Continental Resources), Kelcy Warren (Energy Transfer), and Chris Wright (ex-Liberty Energy, now Energy Secretary) poured millions into Trump’s campaign. Their goal? Crush clean energy momentum, ease drilling rules, and cement fossil fuels as America’s energy backbone. They’re now calling the shots, with former oil lobbyists and execs filling key roles in the Interior Department and Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, pushing for faster fossil fuel production.
✅ Policy Wins Galore: Trump’s administration moved fast—opening federal lands and offshore waters for drilling, approving new natural gas export terminals (like Warren’s Lake Charles LNG), and slashing Obama-era EPA emissions rules. His “One Big Beautiful Bill” killed EV tax credits and handed fossil fuel companies massive tax breaks, saving firms like Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, EOG, and Occidental over $1.2B next year. The American Petroleum Institute, once sidelined, is now in daily talks with the White House.
📉 But Profits Are Hurting: Despite the policy wins, oil prices are stuck at ~$62/barrel, below the $76 mark from 2017 and under the break-even for many producers. Trump’s new tariffs on steel and aluminum are jacking up drilling costs by 25% (per Diamondback Energy). Layoffs are hitting hard—ConocoPhillips and Chevron are cutting 20-25% of staff, and oil/gas jobs dropped 3% this year, a two-year low.
💡 Long Game vs. Short Pain: Oil execs see this as a trade-off—short-term losses for long-term gains. They’re betting on tax breaks and deregulation to offset costs and keep fossil fuels dominant, especially with AI-driven energy demand rising. At a Trump fundraiser in Texas, the “Drill, baby, drill” chant got a reality check from execs who know market conditions, not just policy, drive drilling decisions.
🌍 Market Impact?: With global tariffs sparing oil and gas, and tensions like Israel’s Houthi conflict stirring volatility, how will this affect crypto and energy markets? Are you bullish or bearish on oil-linked assets or crypto stability? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #TRUMP #EnergyPolicy #CryptoMarkets #FinanceNews #TRUMPTIME

🚨 Laos Will Cut Crypto Mining Electricity In 2026… Allocation Shift To “Higher Value” Industries 🚨
Laos just signalled a big policy pivot. crypto mining power allocation will stop by early 2026. the government wants the national grid to instead feed AI datacenters. EV manufacturing. and metals processing. this is pure macro capital re-prioritization inside ASEAN. #LaosCrypto . miners will either migrate. downscale or die out. and this could be the new template for energy-scarce nations pivoting to industries with higher monetary velocity. #EnergyPolicy Southeast Asia keeps proving that crypto regulation is not “anti crypto”. it is “pro capital efficiency” and that distinction matters… #MacroShift
