| Oil Traders Who Expect Iran Waivers Are in for a Shock: Hedgeye Posted: 25 Oct 2018 09:10 PM PDT  Traders who expect the U.S. to hand out waivers allowing certain nations to continue buying oil from the Islamic Republic, "are making a huge miscalculation," Joe McMonigle, head of energy policy at Hedgeye, said in a note. "We see more than a 50 percent chance of an early enforcement of Iran sanctions to send a message and incentivize others to get Iran imports to zero," McMonigle said. The international benchmark could even hit $90 a barrel for the first time since 2014, before settling back to around $85, McMonigle said.

| Republicans push ahead with conservative Trump judicial nominees Posted: 25 Oct 2018 04:23 AM PDT  Democrats, who mounted an unsuccessful effort to block Senate confirmation this month of Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, have slammed the president's fellow Republicans for holding the hearings.

Democratic Senator Patty Murray, who had asked Republicans to postpone the hearing while the Senate is in recess ahead of the Nov. 6 congressional elections, criticized "the shameful partisan path they have taken on what has always been a bipartisan process." She accused the Republicans of a "mad dash" to secure confirmation.

| Saudi prosecutor to visit Istanbul over Khashoggi murder Posted: 26 Oct 2018 07:43 AM PDT  Saudi Arabia's chief prosecutor will visit Istanbul to speak with Turkish authorities as part of the investigation into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Turkey's president said Friday, adding that Ankara still has more evidence in the case. The announcement by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came a day after the Saudi prosecutor said that, based on evidence supplied by Turkey, the murder appeared to have been premeditated -- the first time Saudi authorities have made such an admission. The killing has tainted the image of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who positioned himself as a Saudi reformer, and tested ties between Washington and Riyadh as Western powers demand answers over Khashoggi's death.
