·The Guardian·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

This decision means that the pipeline, which had been shut down for over a decade, will be allowed to resume its activities. The ruling is significant for markets and trade because it indicates that the US is prioritizing energy production, which could have implications for the country's energy independence and global oil prices.
