Oil at US$100/barrel Guyana produces oil. Oil is at $100 a barrel. The math here is straightforward. Whether the math reaches your pocket is a separate and more complicated calculation, but the macro position is strong. We are bullish on the barrel. We are cautiously optimistic about the trickle-down. We remain watchful for the trickle. Confidence: High. Arrival timeline: TBD.

It started, as most things did, with Speedeet having an idea.
“Wilar.” He appeared at the gate with a plastic bag and an expression that Wilar had learned to treat as a warning. “You know how vinegar and baking soda does make dat explosion thing?”
Wilar looked up from his book. “It’s not an explosion. It’s a chemical reaction. Carbon dioxide gas is released when an acid meets a base, creating—”

The Middle East conflict has pushed crude to triple digits, which means Guyana is simultaneously experiencing its best financial news of the year and a quiet national existential crisis. Citizens who paid $800 for flour last week are processing this development at their own pace. ExxonMobil said it was “monitoring the situation closely,” which is corporation-speak for “counting the money.”

Welcome to Monday, where the Opposition Leader can’t show up on time to his own extradition hearing, the government’s office complex now costs more than some countries’ GDP, and single mothers near a Chinese friendship park are being told to pack their bags. Happy Monday!
Today’s menu: Azruddin gets an arrest warrant (briefly), the Haags Bosch money pit deepens, Schoonard residents face eviction, Dr. Frank Anthony can’t catch a break, and the Manickchand/Region 10 drama continues to be absolutely hilarious.

Monday morning and the Brief leading with Azruddin showing up late. That’s the headline?
