New Canadian Pipeline To Boost Oil Prospects
Canadian oil industry's new hope is the Trans Mountain conduit which is set to begin operating next year.

Why Energy May Start To Follow Other Stocks
As the Fed and other central banks around the world have raised rates, some areas of the stock market have posted big losses. Tech, for example, and anything to do with the worlds of crypto and the blockchain were hit hard at the end of last year, and while there has been some kind of a bounce in the early part of this year, even that is looking suspect now after this week’s acceptance by Fed Chair Jerome Powell that “higher for longer” is now expected.
