Why the Saudi oil attack is a ‘big deal’ that could be a ‘game changer’ in stock markets and crude prices

An intensifying Middle East conflict is threatening to throw the world's energy market into disarray after weekend drone attacks destroyed parts of Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq plant — one of the world's largest processors of oil — and a separate nearby oil field. On Saturday, the drone attacks, directed at Saudi Arabian oil facilities that account for nearly 10 million barrels of crude-oil production, resulted in massive plumes of black smoke emanating from the oil field, and a shutdown that could lead to about 50% of its production being at least temporarily thrown offline. Prominent crude-oil strategist Phil Flynn at Price Futures Group told MarketWatch on Sunday that the drone strike was a “big deal” that could result in a major spike in crude-oil prices, because of the potential disruption to global supplies.

U.S. group Advent wins $5 billion battle for Britain's Cobham

U.S. private equity firm Advent International won its battle to buy Britain's Cobham for $5 billion on Monday, taking advantage of the weak pound to pounce on the defence and aerospace group that pioneered air-to-air refuelling. Chairman Jamie Pike told a shareholder meeting the management had "pushed as hard as they could push" and engaged in some "arm wrestling" before finally settling on a price that marked a 50% premium to the three-month average share price before the deal was announced. Cobham, based in Wimborne Minster, south-west England, is the latest European company to be bought by a private equity firm seeking a home for their bumper cash balances.

Brazil’s High-Speed Central Banker Takes On a Stalled Economy

Roberto Campos Neto, who arrived in the bank's top job from the not–very-serene world of foreign-exchange trading, has scrapped it. The biggest one for Campos Neto is to jump-start Brazil's economy –- which only just avoided falling into recession last quarter -- without jeopardizing his predecessor's success in anchoring inflation expectations. Campos Neto lowered interest rates more than expected, launching what's likely to be a cycle of cuts.

Crude Oil Prices Face New Reality As Attack Puts Dagger In Heart Of Saudi Oil

Crude oil prices soared following an attack on Saudi Arabia's output over the weekend, resulting in the largest disruption of oil supplies ever. It will reportedly take longer for Saudi Aramco to restore production at its Abqaiq processing plant following a drone attack over the weekend. "No matter whether it takes Saudi Arabia five days or a lot longer to get oil back into production, there is but one rational takeaway from this weekend's drone attacks on the kingdom's infrastructure — that infrastructure is highly vulnerable to attack, and the market has been persistently mispricing oil," Ed Morse, Citigroup's global head of commodities research, wrote in a note.

Wall Street's first cannabis analyst names her top US marijuana stocks

On Friday, Azer initiated coverage on five U.S. cannabis companies that she deemed noteworthy as she reiterated her call for total U.S. cannabis sales to hit $80 billion by 2030. Relative to their Canadian cannabis peers, Azer notes that the operating paradigm for U.S. multi-state cannabis companies is more nuanced given tax differences and restrictions in scientific research. However, “brand development in the U.S. is much easier, given regulatory nuances, which favors the U.S. operators who emphasize a traditional CPG model that relies more on high-margin finished goods, as opposed to specialty retail,” she wrote in a note published Friday.

How one millennial managed to save almost $1 million in 10 years without ever earning a salary of more than $75,000

FIRE refers to the “financial independence, retire early” movement bubbling up in the younger generation these days as a pathway out of the grind — slash expenses, save a bundle and enjoy the freedom that approach ultimately allows. Using the name FluffayPenguin, one anonymous thirtysomething took to Reddit to illustrate his FIRE blueprint, which allowed him to graduate college in 2008 and build a small chunk of change all the way up to $930,000 in savings. Well, for starters, he lived at home half of that time, a choice many millennials are making as housing costs skyrocket.

3 Stocks to Trade Amid Drone Attack on Saudi Oil Fields

Energy stocks have underperformed the S&P 500 by about 14% so far this year as oil prices struggle to gain traction amid fears of a global economic slowdown caused by the ongoing trade spat between the United States and China – the world's two largest economies. With tensions already running high in the region after Iran allegedly attacked two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and downed a U.S. drone earlier in the year, this weekend's attack on crucial energy infrastructure is likely to send prices skyrocketing. Crude oil futures for October delivery (CL=F) surged over 15% higher in early Monday trade but retreated slightly after U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that he was authorizing the release of oil from reserves to keep markets "well-supplied." Even so, oil prices remain on track for their biggest one-day gain in more than three years.

Millennials are resorting to this questionable tactic to buy their first homes

Millennial home buyers are going to some troubling lengths to foot the bill for their first homes, according to a new survey. Millennials are more likely than their older counterparts to fund their down payment and closing costs by dipping into retirement savings (13%, versus 8% of Generation Xers and 7% of baby boomers), saving money by moving in with family or friends (14%, versus 5% of Gen Xers and 2% of boomers) or selling personal items (12%, versus 5% of Gen Xers and 2% of boomers), a recent Bankrate survey of 2,582 U.S. adults found. They're trying to exhaust all their options, and they're certainly doing that at higher levels than the other generations.

Trump wants even lower interest rates: What that would mean for your retirement savings

President Trump's suggestion to cut interest rates to zero or below could have some unpleasant effects for people who are close to, or in, retirement. Negative interest rates have a harrowing impact on cash. Banks already offer a relatively low interest rate to consumers in exchange for stashing their money in a savings account, and the interest they incur on their savings would only go lower if rates were cut.
