Trump Administration Talks For Ownership Stake In Venezuela Oil Fields

According to Axios, the Trump administration is in talks with Venezuela's interim government about taking an ownership stake in the country's oil resources, with U.S. officials saying the deal could more than double U.S. oil reserves. The discussions cover more than a dozen productive oil fields, though not all of Venezuela's 300 billion barrels of proven reserves, and the fields could produce as much as 90 million barrels of oil a day. In return, Venezuela would allow private companies, including American firms, to develop the fields and return more oil revenue to the country. Axios reported that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, have spearheaded the talks, while officials from the State and Defense departments met with counterparts in Caracas last month. Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is also involved, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright has been discussing a possible trip to Venezuela next week as the department looks for ways to increase oil production by U.S. firms.

OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Microsoft Warn Of AI-Enabled Cyberattack Risk

According to Axios, OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and more than 100 other companies said Thursday that organizations have only months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks. In an open letter, the group said hospitals, water treatment plants and other critical infrastructure face a wave of hacking threats as AI makes advanced cyber capabilities cheaper and more accessible to attackers. The signatories called for collective action, urging companies and governments to strengthen cyber defenses, raise security standards, share threat intelligence and fund cyber defense. The letter also said frontier AI companies should give defenders access to their most capable response models during major cyber incidents, along with funding, training and hands-on support. Axios said the warning comes amid a rise in attacks on critical infrastructure, including one targeting U.S. water systems with an apparent AI-generated exploitation script, but the signatories did not announce commitments, deadlines or specific investments.

These three stocks are must-owns after the PCE data

Wall Street did not get the inflation report it wanted. The July Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 3.7% year-on-year, matching June but exceeding economists’ 3.6% forecast, while core PCE increased 3.3%. Yet the report was not uniformly negative for stocks. Personal income climbed 0.4% in July, disposable income rose 0.5%, and consumer spending went up 0.2%, suggesting the economy remains capable of absorbing higher prices. The result is a market environment that favors companies with pricing power, resilient demand, and business models capable of benefiting from higher-for-longer rates. Here are three stocks that experts like. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) JPMorgan stock stands out as “one of the clearest beneficiaries” of the PCE report that keeps the Federal Reserve cautious....
