When the Rule of Law Falls: From State to Open Arena
Nothing is more dangerous for a state than a passing economic crisis, except the moment when the absence of the rule of law becomes the norm, when slander replaces truth and defamation takes the place of accountability. At that point, it is not investment alone that collapses; the very idea of the state begins to unravel. What Lebanon is experiencing today is neither a media debate nor a personal dispute. It is a decisive test of whether the rule of law still exists.

Natural Gas and Oil Forecast: Upward Trendline to Drive Buying in Energy Sector?
Early Wednesday trading shows oil prices down due to weak demand signals from China and rising U.S. stockpiles.
Oil prices declined in early trading on Wednesday, influenced by concerns over global demand triggered by economic stagnation in China and a potential increase in U.S. commercial oil stockpiles. Despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East following Iran’s attack on Israel, the anticipated response has not escalated oil prices as expected.
Market analysts suggest that the situation might remain contained, with possible intervention from major oil producers like Saudi Arabia to stabilize global supply. In the U.S., an unexpected rise in crude inventories further pressured oil prices, reflecting broader economic uncertainties.
Meanwhile, China’s mixed economic indicators for March, showing weak domestic demand, add to the complexities affecting the oil and natural gas forecast, indicating a bearish outlook for energy prices in the near term.
