How America Could Save $65 Billion In Mobile Phone Bills
It is a fact of nature that all countries have the same electromagnetic spectrum of radio frequencies. It is a fact of politics that countries have different rules for allocating these frequencies. And it is a fact of economics that people in different countries pay very different rates for their use of spectrum. Mara Faccio […]
Crude Oil Prices Ignore Inventory Data As US Exports Hit Record
A larger-than-expected drop in US inventories failed to make an impression on crude oil prices, as expected. Stockpiles shed 6.43 million barrels, a draw well in excess of the 3 million barrel outflow predicted by analysts.

Gold Retreats As U.S. Data Lifts Greenback
Gold prices fell $3.41 an ounce on Thursday as better-than-expected U.S. economic data, which supported the case for a Federal Reserve interest rate hike this month, led to a bounce in the dollar. The market was not able to break through the resistance in the $1271.50-$1269 area, and ultimately extended its losses after prices pierced […]
Has Permian Productivity Peaked?
The U.S. shale industry might have just received a huge windfall with the nine-month extension of the OPEC cuts.
