Volkswagen shuts down historic German plant amid economic crisis and geopolitical pressures

The “Transparent Factory” was once a symbol of VW’s EV ambitions but failed commercially, producing fewer than 200,000 vehicles since 2001. Up to 35,000 German jobs could be slashed by 2030, including thousands in […]

The Dollar’s Demise: A wake-up call for a world on the brink
The dollar’s death spiral is inevitable due to its status as a fiat currency, backed by nothing, and the Federal Reserve’s unchecked money printing. The BRICS nations are leading the charge in de-dollarization, opting for gold-backed alternatives, which are more stable and trustworthy. The U.S. national debt is unsustainable, and the Fed’s policies are setting […]

Russia’s oil and gas revenues collapse by 35% in November as sanctions and falling prices bite
Russia’s November 2025 oil and gas revenues plummeted by 35% year-on-year to just $6.6 billion, driven by crashing Urals crude prices, U.S. sanctions and a stronger ruble. Recent U.S. sanctions targeting Rosneft and Lukoil have forced steep discounts on Russian oil, with Urals crude trading as low as $36.61 per barrel – far below the $88.95 peak in March 2022. Oil […]

China’s lithium market turmoil: Prices crash as regulators tighten trading rules
Lithium carbonate futures on China’s Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) plummeted 9% after regulators tightened trading rules, including higher fees and position limits, to curb speculation.
