European chemical firms are enjoying a fleeting earnings boost from Middle East supply disruptions, temporarily lifting prices and giving a reprieve to a sector battered by weak demand and fierce Asian competition.

The World Cup came to the U.S. and instantly became a MAGA spectacle—Christian Pulisic’s Trump dance, Trump cozying up to FIFA, and a media circus debating whether soccer was “American enough.” While fans embraced the game with John Denver anthems and left-leaning energy, Trump’s team seemed more focused on political theater than play. When Folarin Balogun got a red card, Trump reportedly intervened to overturn it—classic America First diplomacy. The U.S. team got eliminated, but the real
