Makenita Resources Begins Operations at the Sisson West Tungsten Project in New Brunswick

Makenita Resources (KENY.CN) launched exploration work at its Sisson West tungsten project in New Brunswick, the company said on Tuesday.A helicopter-based aeromagnetic/radiometric/VLF (very-low-frequency) survey on the entirety of Makenita's Sisson West tungsten project is now underway, said the company."It is great to finally be underway on this exciting project at a time when tungsten prices and demand are strong," said President, Jason Gigliotti. "With just over 30 million shares outstanding, any success in the ground would have a meaningful impact on the company given such a small float. Management anticipates a very active remainder of the year and is very optimistic about the near- and mid-term outlook for Makenita."Shares of the company were last seen down $0.005 to $0.095 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.Price: $0.10, Change: $-0.01, Percent Change: -5.00%

Kimberly-Clark First-Quarter Results Top Views; Full-Year Outlook Affirmed

Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and maintained its full-year outlook Tuesday, while the consumer goods maker flagged potential incremental input cost headwinds of up to $170 million in the second half due to elevated oil prices.The Kleenex tissues maker's adjusted earnings attributable to the company rose to $1.97 a share for the March quarter from $1.93 a year earlier, which was the consensus on FactSet. Net sales improved 2.7% to $4.16 billion, topping the Street's view for $4.09 billion.The company's shares were up 1.1% in Tuesday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has lost 1.6% in value.Kimberly-Clark said it continues to expect full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow at a double-digit rate, while adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark are still seen flat, both on a constant-currency basis.The company also continues to expect 2026 organic sales to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest 12 months grew at roughly 2.5%, it said.Kimberly-Clark could face gross incremental input cost headwinds of between $150 million and $170 million in the second half of the year, if oil prices stay at the $100 a barrel level, Chief Financial Officer Nelson Urdaneta said in prepared remarks on the company's website.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February, with the Strait of Hormuz -- the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows -- effectively closed. The conflict paused following a recent ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon.Kimberly-Clark's first-quarter international personal care business revenue climbed 9.1% to $1.51 billion, buoyed by organic sales growth of 4% and favorable currency impacts. Sales in North America fell 0.6% to $2.65 billion, driven by a 2.7% headwind from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth of 1.8%."We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in a statement. "We continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."For the second quarter, Kimberly-Clark expects to incur a $50 million headwind related to a recent fire at its Ontario, California, distribution center, "as well as some incremental costs due to the conflict in the Middle East," Urdaneta said. "We expect to fully mitigate these costs in the second half of the year with the many levers available within our integrated margin management capabilities."Price: $99.40, Change: $+1.15, Percent Change: +1.17%

Update: UAE to Leave OPEC From May 1

(Updates with official statements and analyst comments throughout the story.)The UAE will withdraw from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies effective May 1, the country's Energy Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei confirmed on social media Tuesday."The UAE's decision to exit from OPEC reflects a policy-driven evolution aligned with long-term market fundamentals," Al Mazrouei posted on X.The energy minister told Reuters earlier that the government did not consult any other country before deciding to leave the cartel. He said this decision will give the UAE the flexibility to make changes to production, storage, and shipping energy products.Sultan Al Jaber, head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, said the UAE's decision was in line with its long-term energy strategy, production capacity, and national interests, while also taking into account global energy market stability."At ADNOC, our focus is unchanged: meeting the growing energy needs of our customers and partners around the world with reliability, responsibility, and the ambition to deliver more... across oil, gas, chemicals, and low carbon and renewable energy," he said in a post on X on Tuesday.The UAE joined OPEC in 1967, and as a producer of significant volumes, its membership of the group carried weight in its setting of production targets and ultimately global prices.One analyst noted that the veteran member is likely seeking freedom from output limitations to strongly raise output.OPEC is heavily influential over global oil prices through its monthly meeting, where many of the world's largest producers agree on production levels for the weeks ahead.Sparta energy analyst Phil Crosby said in written comments tothat the country's exit was not entirely surprising and had been "on the cards" for some time."They'll want to produce closer to what their capacity is longer term, which will put some pressure on oil, but having already lost 1 billion barrels of supply from the war, this won't be a huge headache for a while," Crosby said.He added that they can probably sustainably produce 4.5-4.8 million barrels per day once Hormuz opens, noting that the country was allowed 3.4 mmb/d under OPEC quotas.has reached out to other OPEC members.
