A surge of U.S. crude oil is arriving in Asia, but the record volumes are nowhere near enough to offset the loss of cargoes from the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Asia's imports of U.S. crude were 63.56 million barrels in May, the most for a single month, although at 2.05 million ‌barrels per day (bpd), they were slightly behind the 2.07 million bpd from June 2023, according to data compiled by commodity analysts Kpler. However, more U.S. oil is on the way, with Kpler tracking arrivals of 2.32 million bpd in June and 3.07 million bpd in July. This is more than double the average of 1.37 million bpd of U.S. crude that Asia imported in the three months to the end of February. While some Middle Eastern ⁠exporters have managed to re-route some oil exports to ports outside the strait, at least 10 million bpd of supply remains unavailable as the Iran conflict drags on.

The transition to electric vehicles in Brazil and Mexico has been driven by domestic politics and global pressures, a new study says. Decisions have been made in both countries shaped by factors beyond emissions, costs, or efficiency. In Brazil, this has been the size of the domestic market for EVs and the domestic coalition around bioethanol. In Mexico, the change has been more volatile because of a greater reliance on foreign technology and the erosion of reliable access to US markets. The research by Renato H. de Gaspi from Johns Hopkins University and Pedro Perfeito da Silva, from the University of Exeter, says Brazil's EV growth has been driven by commodities, putting the domestically owned primary sector in a privileged position.

There is a new rush for resources taking shape in Brazil. The focus is on the gold of the artificial intelligence and renewable energy era: rare earths. "The next big, rare earth projects in the world will be in Brazil," the geologist Andrew Tunks, CEO of the Australian mining company Meteoric Resources, told DW. "I think in time [Brazil] will compete with China," he said. Meteoric’s so-called Caldeira project, located in the state of Minas Gerais, is believed to be the world's largest ionic clay deposit. Brazil holds the world's second-largest rare earth reserves after China, with estimated deposits of around 21 million tons compared with China’s estimated 44 million tons. Demand for rare earths has triggered an explosion in mining applications at Brazil's National Mining Agency (ANM). There are currently 2,758 projects under consideration. For comparison, just over 250 applications for rare earth mining were filed in Brazil between 1975 and 2020. Between 2023 and 2024 alone, that number surged to 1,662.

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission to Brazil report released on Monday (June 1) concluded that Brazil is managing the challenges posed by the international environment but needs to put its debt on a downward trajectory. IMF Assessment: “Meaningful” fiscal reforms will be essential to put public debt on a downward path. Brazil is relatively shielded from global oil price increases for two reasons: it is a net exporter of oil and generates a large share of its energy from renewable sources such as hydropower and solar power. Growth slowed in 2025, reflecting the effects of restrictive monetary policy and reduced fiscal support, which helped lower inflation. High-frequency indicators point to an economic recovery in early 2026 with growth to strengthen to about 2.5 percent over the medium term, according to the IMF. The challenge, however, remains reducing public debt, which stands at 80.4% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to Brazil’s Central Bank.
