Good morning. This is The Iron Horse Daily Brief for Monday, October 27th, 2025. Today, we're dissecting the market's latest theatrics. The headlines are screaming one thing, but the data—the *real* data—is telling a completely different story. And if you're still listening to the noise, you're missing the opportunity where true wealth is built. **The Number:** Let's get straight to the numbers that actually matter. WTI crude is trading around $61.75 per barrel, up slightly today, and Brent crude is at $66.07. The media is touting optimism from a potential US-China trade deal and lingering supply concerns from Russia sanctions. But here's what Wall Street won't tell you: while crude prices have pulled back this year, the fundamentals have never been stronger. Natural gas is holding at $3.35 per MMBtu, and U.S. energy firms just added two rigs this week, bringing the total to 550. Operators aren't panicking. They're positioning. And if you're paying attention, you should be too. **The Truth:** Here's the real story. While the herd obsesses over daily price swings, the smart money is watching production strength and long-term demand. U.S. crude oil production hit a record high of over 13.6 million barrels per day in July, and the EIA forecasts we'll average 13.5 million barrels per day in both 2025 and 2026. The Permian Basin alone is driving massive growth. This isn't a market in decline. This is American energy dominance in action. Yes, OPEC+ is increasing production by 137,000 barrels per day in October and November, unwinding previous cuts. The talking heads call this bearish. But here's what they're missing: U.S. operators are drilling proven reserves, generating cash flow at $60 crude, and they're not chasing headlines. They're profitable. They're disciplined. And they're building wealth for investors who understand the long game. The International Energy Agency is forecasting a potential supply surplus in 2026. You know what that means? Stability. Predictability. And for investors in working interests with tier-one operators like EOG and Continental, it means consistent monthly cash flow regardless of whether crude is at $61 or $71. The short-term noise about trade deals and sanctions? That's for retail investors who trade on emotion. Smart money invests in fundamentals. **The Move:** So here's your choice. Are you going to get caught in the daily drama, or are you going to position yourself where real wealth is built? Iron Horse Energy Fund 1 isn't playing the headline game. We're investing in the proven strength of domestic oil and gas, leveraging the tax code for 80 to 85 percent first-year deductions, and generating consistent monthly cash flow from operators who've drilled thousands of successful wells. You're not speculating on the next geopolitical crisis. You're investing in an asset class that thrives on foundational demand, strategic tax advantages, and American energy independence. The window to secure your position in Iron Horse Energy Fund 1 closes November 30th. That's 37 days from today.
