Lower revenues hit Oman’s OQEP net profit in 2025
Oman’s state-run OQ Exploration & Production reported net profit fell 10 percent in 2025 due to lower revenue, but the company forecasts earnings will rise in 2026 as new exploration deals begin to contribute.
OQEP reported a net profit of $760 million between January and December last year, down from $846 million in the same period of 2024.
The company’s total revenues fell by 5 percent year on year to $3 billion in 2025, according to its report disclosed in the Omani bourse.
OQEP spent $517 million last year to expand Block 53 in the south central region and Block 60 in the west of the country near the Saudi border.
But OQEP says it expects higher earnings in 2026 from four new blocks. The exploration and development awards for these oil and gas discoveries are expected in the first quarter of 2026.
Blocks 36, 43A, 18 and 66 are located in different parts of Oman, and Canadian company Scotiabank is assessing the offers.
Block 36 is the largest of the four concessions at 18,557 square kilometres, located in the Ghudun basin in the Empty Quarter desert near the UAE border.
Oil production makes up 70 percent of Oman’s revenue.
OQEP listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange in October 2024. Its share price of OMR0.38 ($0.99) has risen by around 10 percent in the last year.

Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best
The post Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin is bucking seasonality trends by adding 8%, making this September its best since 2012. September 2025 would need to see 20% upside to become Bitcoin’s strongest ever. BTC price volatility is at levels rarely seen before in an unusual bull cycle. Bitcoin (BTC) has gained more this September than any year since 2012, a new bull market record. Historical price data from CoinGlass and BiTBO confirms that at 8%, Bitcoin’s September 2025 upside is its second-best ever. Bitcoin avoiding “Rektember” with 8% gains September is traditionally Bitcoin’s weakest month, with average losses of around 8%. BTC/USD monthly returns (screenshot). Source: CoinGlass This year, the stakes are high for BTC price seasonality, as historical patterns demand the next bull market peak and other risk assets set repeated new all-time highs. While both gold and the S&P 500 are in price discovery, BTC/USD has coiled throughout September after setting new highs of its own the month prior. Even at “just” 8%, however, this September’s performance is currently enough to make it Bitcoin’s strongest in 13 years. The only time that the ninth month of the year was more profitable for Bitcoin bulls was in 2012, when BTC/USD gained about 19.8%. Last year, upside topped out at 7.3%. BTC/USD monthly returns.

Fed rate decision September 2025
The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment. “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
