• 📈Oil Defies Ukraine Peace Hopes, Rises 2% as Iran Declares 'Full-Scale War'

  Oil prices rose more than 2% on Monday morning after Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy met to discuss a revised draft of a peace agreement for the nearly four-year-long Russia-Ukraine war, with Trump declaring the overall deal "close to 95%" done.
  
  While progress was reported and teams are scheduled to meet again soon, the status of the Donbas region remains one of the most critical unresolved issues between the parties.
  
  The upward movement in oil prices was also influenced by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including Saudi airstrikes in Yemen and Iran's declaration of a "full-scale war" against the U.S., Israel, and Europe.

• Texas Launches $350 Million Nuclear Energy Initiative
  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has congratulated the...

  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has congratulated the Texas Legislature for passing House Bill 14, saying it will help revolutionize Texas’ energy sector and cement the state’s role in leading a nuclear power renaissance in the United States.

  
  “Texas is the energy capital of the world, and this legislation will position Texas at the forefront of America’s nuclear renaissance,” said Governor Abbott. “By creating the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office and investing $350 million–the largest national commitment--we will jumpstart next-generation nuclear development and deployment. This initiative will also strengthen Texas’ nuclear manufacturing capacity, rebuild a domestic fuel cycle supply chain, and train the future nuclear workforce. I look forward to signing it into law.”
  
  The U.S. nuclear power sector is seeing renewed momentum as electricity demand rises, particularly from data centers, alongside policy support for carbon-free generation and growing interest in long-duration, firm power. Large technology companies are increasingly positioning themselves around nuclear energy through long-term power contracts, development partnerships, and early-stage investments, marking a shift from decades of limited new nuclear deployment.
