Emerging basins attract smaller E&Ps as Permian fills up

As big players take hold of the Permian Basin's prime acreage, smaller E&P companies are chasing new opportunities in underexplored US oil plays such as Utah's Uinta Basin and Oklahoma's Cherokee oil window, according to Jefferies' Pete Bowden. At the same time, advanced drilling techniques are unlocking resources in underdeveloped Permian formations such as the Wolfcamp D, Barnett Shale and Woodford intervals.

As part of a deeply interconnected trading system among North American countries, 83% of Mexico’s exports went to the US last year, and 75% of Canada’s exports did, per Business Insider. Here are just some goods getting shipped across the US border that would face steep tariffs, costs that American businesses would incur and likely pass along to American consumers.
Autos: Cars make up a big chunk of the $920 billion worth of goods the US buys yearly from Mexico and Canada, accounting for 26% and 12% of their US exports, respectively.
Gas: The stuff that fuels cars might also get pricier since Canada is the largest foreign supplier of oil to the US.
Fruits and veggies: Much produce in American supermarkets comes with a grown-in-Mexico sticker. The country is the No. 1 exporter of raspberries, tomatoes, strawberries, and avocados to the US, according to the University of California, Davis.
Meat and dairy: Canada sends millions of cows for dairy and beef and hogs across its southern border every year.
The negotiations begin now: Trump has a history of using tough tariff talk as leverage to wring concessions from other countries. In response to the threats, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote a letter to Trump suggesting she would retaliate with tariffs of her own, while Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trump to discuss cooperation. China argued that “no one will win a trade war.”

Your Thanksgiving travel could be wet and cold. As a record ~80 million Americans begin their journeys for Thanksgiving, a bout of nasty weather is projected to hit multiple areas of the country over the extended holiday weekend. Today, a storm is forecast to dump heavy snow on mountainous areas of the West, while rain could drench Snoopy at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC on Thursday (the balloons will still fly as long as the wind cooperates). Then, an Arctic blast will hit the Midwest and Eastern US into the weekend with likely the coldest temps of the season so far. If you’re flying home with leftovers, the TSA wants you to know: Turkey and stuffing are OK to carry on a plane, but cranberry sauce and gravy are limited to 3.4 ounces.

Israel and Lebanon Agree to a Cease-Fire, Biden Says

President Biden on Tuesday announced a cease-fire deal to stop the fighting between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, raising hope that it could bring a lasting end to the deadliest war in Lebanon in decades.
Minutes earlier, the Israeli prime minister’s office announced that ministers had approved the cease-fire proposal. The fighting has displaced over a million Lebanese and tens of thousands of Israelis, killed more than 3,000 Lebanese and 100 Israelis and upended the regional balance of power.
Speaking in a televised address from the White House, Mr. Biden said the cease-fire would go into effect at 4 a.m. Wednesday in Israel and Lebanon. He said the deal was intended to definitively end the war between the two sides, calling it “designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.”
