Geopolitical risks keep Oil, Gas volatility elevated – Rabobank

Fundamentals point to a well-supplied energy market in 2026, with growing non-OPEC production and new LNG capacity weighing on prices. Geopolitical uncertainty—from Iran to Greenland tariffs—adds volatility, though critical US-EU energy flows are expected to remain intact, Rabobank’s Senior Energy Strategist Florence Schmit reports.

US-EU tariff threats unlikely to hit LNG flows

“Fundamentals point to a well‑supplied 2026: The global energy balance is expected to remain comfortable because non‑OPEC supply from the United States, Brazil, and Guyana continues to grow, OPEC+ has paused further output hikes to avoid deepening an anticipated surplus, and a large wave of new LNG capacity from the U.S. and Qatar is coming online, all of which support our forecasts for lower oil and gas prices in 2026 versus 2025 levels.”

“Meanwhile geopolitical risks could pull energy markets off their base case: the overall price trajectory is complicated by heightened geopolitical uncertainty, ranging from risks around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to the widening U.S.-EU tariff confrontation over Greenland, both of which have already triggered market swings and are likely to maintain elevated volatility as long as the political direction remains unclear.”

“The deep interconnectedness of EU-U.S. energy markets make it unlikely that either side will target LNG or broader fuel flows in any tariff escalation, since Europe depends heavily on U.S. supplies and the U.S. now relies on Europe as its primary LNG outlet after losing China as a major buyer.”

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
