Brent crude price clings to $68 as OPEC+ April supply talk collides with U.S. inflation

Brent crude hovered near $68 a barrel Friday after a sharp drop, with traders watching for a possible OPEC+ supply hike and digesting weaker demand forecasts from the IEA. U.S. crude inventories rose by 8.5 million barrels last week. The U.S. eased some oil sanctions on Venezuela, granting licenses to major firms. Peace talks on Ukraine are set for next week, according to the Kremlin.

  • DroneShield: A Strategic ASX Growth Share Amid Rising Counter-Drone Demand
    May 29, 2026, 7:32 PM EDT. DroneShield Ltd (ASX: DRO) targets the growing security threat posed by drones. Its niche focus on anti-drone technology positions it in a market driven by increasing defence and government demand. The company combines hardware and artificial intelligence-enabled software to counter evolving drone tactics, aiming to build recurring software revenue alongside hardware sales. Recent financial updates reveal strong cash flow, a robust sales pipeline, and global operational presence. While the potential is significant, defence contracts remain unpredictable, requiring cautious investor evaluation. DroneShield's blend of technology and strategic resources suggests it could be a compelling ASX growth share for long-term investors watching the defense tech sector.
