Oil, Gas Prices Surge as Iran War Forces Gulf Producers to Cut Output
Oil and gas prices surged Monday as the Middle East war roils energy markets, forcing major producers to shut down output while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. The global benchmarks reached their highest levels since 2022 earlier in the session, touching $119.50 and $103.67 a barrel, respectively. Over the weekend, Kuwait began cutting production at some oil fields, becoming the latest regional supplier to rein in output after Iraq and Qatar. “The combination of these production shut-ins and no signs of de-escalation in the war means the market is having to aggressively price in a prolonged supply disruption,” said Warren Patterson, head of commodities strategy at ING. European LNG prices climbed 67% last week, the largest weekly gain since the energy crisis in 2022.

Novo Nordisk to Sell Weight-Loss Drugs Through Hims & Hers
- Novo NordiskWegovy maker Novo Nordisk said it is teaming up with Hims & Hers Health to sell its weight-loss drugs through the telehealth company’s platform, bringing an end to a legal dispute between the two companies. Hims & Hers shares jumped 47% Monday, while Novo Nordisk shares were up 1.7%. Hims & Hers will no longer advertise compounded versions of GLP-1 drugs—the class of medicines to which Wegovy and Ozempic belong—on its platform, Novo Nordisk said. Compounded drugs are alternative versions of prescription drugs made by specialized pharmacies. Hims & Hers in February countered with a compounded pill version of the drug’s main ingredient, semaglutide, prompting Novo Nordisk’s lawsuit.

Oil Prices Hit Highest Since 2022 At More Than $119 A Barrel On Iran War
LOADING ERROR LOADINGLONDON, March 9 (Reuters) - Oil prices surged to more than $119 a barrel on Monday, hitting levels not seen since mid-2022, as some major producers cut supplies and fears of prolonged shipping disruptions gripped the market due to the expanding U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Monday’s prices compare with all-time highs of around $147 a barrel for the contracts in 2008, according to LSEG data going back to the 1980s. That was well above its previous summit of around $23 in March 2022 in the early weeks of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Iran names slain supreme leader’s son as successor, in a defiant message to Trump
Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has been elevated to the position his father held for nearly four decades until his death in US-Israeli air strikes. Mojtaba is the rightful heir to the “martyred leader,” with the political and religious credentials to rule. It also sought to preempt a central criticism: that he lacks the scholarly depth traditionally expected of a “vali-faqih,” or supreme jurisprudent. Days later, the late supreme leader’s wife – Mojtaba’s mother – also died of her wounds, according to state media. “God’s grace became manifest,” regime supporters chanted in Tehran metro the morning after Mojtaba’s appointment.

The Long-Feared Persian Gulf Oil Squeeze Is Upon Us
U.S. oil prices vaulted above $100 a barrel Sunday for the first time since the fallout of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Crude prices more than doubled, contributing to recessions in the U.S. and arguably spelling the end of Jimmy Carter’s presidency. In the weeks before the latest attacks, a certain degree of complacency had taken hold in global oil markets. Gulf oil producers were reassured by U.S. officials that retaliatory attacks on their soil, if they were to happen, would likely be limited to U.S. bases, according to Arab Gulf officials. The Treasury Department eased sanctions on Moscow’s crude to give India an alternative to oil stuck in the Gulf.

2026 Jeep Wrangler Fixes Small Overlap Crash-Test Tipping Issue
The Jeep Wrangler has addressed a longstanding crash-test concern after structural updates helped the SUV remain upright during the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) driver-side small overlap test. The tipping behaviour resulted in a marginal safety rating. ALSO READ: Jeep Wrangler Willys 41 Returns as Limited-Run TributeWhile the improvements enhance overall crash performance, the IIHS noted that the passenger-side small overlap test still showed a higher risk of injury to the front passenger’s right foot and lower leg. Gladiator models built after October 2025 likewise earn an acceptable rating in the small overlap test. To qualify for one of the institute’s safety awards, vehicles must achieve a Good rating in both driver-side and passenger-side small overlap tests, along with strong performance in other evaluation categories.
