Geopolitical tensions continue to fuel the energy sector, with Trump's teasing of 'massive' oil exploration in Greenland sending Greenland Energy up 90% and Greenland Mines up 44% in premarket trading. Concurrently, ongoing Iran tensions and the IEA's warnings of a diesel shortage are keeping oil prices elevated, directly contributing to the 34% surge in gasoline prices that is driving the current inflation spike. The market is pricing in persistent supply-side risks from the Middle East and Arctic exploration developments.
