The Battle for Hormuz Is Not the War

Line chart showing the Democratic two-party vote share among Americans living within 2km of a data centre compared with those living further away, from June 2025 to October 2026. Both groups start at around 52%. The Democratic share among those living within 2km rises sharply to 61% by October 2026, compared with a gradual increase to 55% among those living further away. Shaded areas show 95% confidence intervals, which are considerably wider for those living near data centres.

Beijing has now curbed fuel exports twice this year and shifted to ​monthly from annual quotas. It ​means traders have to watch China's ⁠domestic demand, from shopping festivals ​to winter stockpiling, for clues on ​supply from a country with nearly 20% of global refining capacity.
