Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures mixed as investors count down to Powell's speech

US stock futures were mixed as Wall Street readied for the main event of the week: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F), the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) ticked up 0.1%. Stocks swung last week as Fed policy predictions shifted. After July's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation had increased at a pace that was in-line with analysts' expectations, rate-cut bets surged, sparking a two-day stock rally. However, a second check on inflation that week, July's Producer Price Index report, came in hotter-than-expected and abruptly threw cold water on rate-cut hopes and stocks' march higher. This week, more signs that a rate cut may not be imminent piled up. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting showed that the two officials who dissented from the decision to hold rates steady in July were largely alone in their opinion. The minutes also indicated inflation was more of a concern for officials than labor market weakness. Finally, two policymakers, Jeffrey Schmid and Beth Hammack, expressed wariness over a September rate cut on Thursday. Meanwhile, President Trump has continued a pressure campaign on the Federal Reserve, publicly bashing Powell and, more recently, calling for the resignation of Fed governor Lisa Cook for alleged mortgage fraud. His tariff policy also continues to evolve with its ultimate impact on inflation difficult to predict. Against this backdrop, Powell's speech has investors on edge. His remarks are set to not only shake up rate-cut bets but also shape monetary policy for years to come. Amid the countdown to his Jackson Hole remarks, stocks slipped on Thursday. Disappointing Walmart (WMT) earnings and hotter-than-expected jobless claims data contributed to a dip in sentiment. In after-hours trading, corporate earnings led to some companies seeing swings in their stock prices. Zoom (ZM) popped on an AI boost, and Ross Stores (ROST) jumped as shoppers seek discounts amid tariffs. Intuit (INTU) and Workday (WDAY), meanwhile, tumbled.

Mexico's Unconventional Oil Plays Could Boost Production By 250,000 bpd

A couple of weeks ago, Mexico's National Oil Company (NOC) and the federal administration unveiled the Pemex Strategic Plan 2025–2035, a comprehensive roadmap for Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) to boost oil production, reduce debt, and promote energy sovereignty through increased public and private investment. Key goals of the blueprint include achieving oil production of 1.8 million barrels per day by 2030, increasing natural gas output, securing funding through government support and private partnerships, and integrating energy transition projects like hydrogen and geothermal. Pemex is Mexico's largest company and one of the largest in Latin America, not just by revenue but also as the country's most significant fiscal contributor. As the state-owned oil company, it handles the entire oil and gas value chain and plays a critical role in Mexico's energy security and economy. Wall Street appears to have warmed up to the ambitious strategy, with Wood Mackenzie saying the Mexican government is likely to target the Pimienta and Eagle Ford unconventional formations for initial development, thanks to their established geology as well as ample potential to supply both oil and natural gas. According to WoodMac, both formations have the potential to produce 250,000 bpd of liquids and another 500 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of natural gas by the early 2030s. 'The strategy needs major capital investment and international operators working under profitable contract terms. However, it's encouraging that the government and Pemex leadership are tackling natural gas production challenges by promoting development of the nation's extensive unexploited unconventional reserves,' said Ismael Hernandez, Research Associate at is also looking to unlock its LNG sector, with a series of projects proposed for the country's Pacific Coast having the potential to turn the country into Latin America's LNG powerhouse. According to a recent Gas Outlook report, Mexico plans to build five major LNG export terminals along the Pacific Coast, aiming to transform the country into a top-tier gas exporter. Most of the feed gas needed to supply these terminals would mainly be sourced from the United States' America's Permian basin in New Mexico and Texas, rather than sourced from Mexico directly. This would give Mexico a big cost advantage over its LATM peers. Natural gas prices at the Waha hub in the Permian basin in West Texas have sunk to sub-zero levels in recent years, thanks to gas production growing more quickly than takeaway capacity. Mexico would then be able to sell this gas at ~$10-$14 per MMBtu in Japan or Korea, a potentially highly profitable business even after factoring in liquefaction costs. However, a lot of these plans could be derailed by Pemex's poor financial health. The Mexican government recently expressed confidence that it will stop funding the debt-ridden NOC as early as 2027, saying Pemex will have become financially self-sufficient. However, President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration has its work cut out trying to rescue the country's crown jewel. For years, Pemex has struggled with a high debt load amidst persistent underproduction of crude, with the company only managing to remain solvent through tax incentives and capital injections. In fact, Pemex has been able to post a profit in three of the past 15 years. Last year, Pemex reported a net loss of approximately $30 billion (or about 190.5 billion pesos) for FY 2024, a reversal from the modest profit in 2023. This loss was driven by decreased revenues from lower oil exports and falling international crude prices, alongside increased operating and financial costs, including losses from foreign exchange. More worryingly, Pemex's refining division has remained in the red over the past decade and a half despite high utilization rates coupled with a favorable policy environment. Operative inefficiencies have dogged Pemex for so long that the company is unable to capitalize on high oil prices whenever they arise. Pemex's debt has surged to nearly $100 billion since 2010, making it the most indebted oil and gas company in the world. Meanwhile, the company has seen its overall liabilities jump from $121.9 billion in 2010 to $233.4 in 2023. If Pemex were a country, its liabilities would be the seventh largest amongst Latin American economies. However, there's still hope for the company. Pemex swung to a profit during the first half of the current year, with the government seeking to inject $12 billion to help pay down the company's debt. Pemex's bottom-line was boosted by a strengthening peso in the second quarter, as well as lower cost of sales and improved performance among some financial assets. Further, Moody's Ratings is looking to upgrade Pemex thanks to the government's new commitments. This could help the company secure future loans at more favorable interest rates.

Achieved quarterly renewable natural gas ("RNG") production record following the successful ramp-up of Fraser Valley Biogas ("FVB") and GrowTEC RNG projects. Initiated optimization activities across core assets to enhance platform value and underpin growth in 2026 and beyond. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverGen Infrastructure Corp. ("EverGen" or the "Company") (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF), today reported financial results as at and for Q2 2025. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Debt Refinancing: The Company progressed refinancing of its Fraser Valley Biogas facility, with a signed letter of intent for a $13 million debt facility and $250,000 operating line of credit in February. EverGen expects to complete this refinancing in Q3 2025, with terms that are better aligned with the Company's current operations and strategic focus. Additional Equity Financing: Commitments and indications received for up to $2 million of additional proceeds pursuant to a second tranche of the private placement of common shares at a price of $0.60 per share. The Company has extended this tranche to close alongside the debt refinancing, anticipated in Q3 2025.

Optimization Initiatives: With planned changes to senior leadership team complete, the Company initiated optimization activities across core facilities during Q2 2025. While these activities temporarily reduce incoming organic waste volumes and revenues, they are expected to unlock sustainable cash flow, future growth and underpin EverGen's position as a long-term RNG leader.
