Goldman Sachs Sounds Alarm Over Fresh Threat to Global Oil Supplies

A week after it warned that an oil glut is coming, Goldman Sachs has done a U-turn, warning that the renewed hostilities in the Persian Gulf threaten an extended supply disruption. “While Middle Eastern producers have started reopening their shut-in wells over the last month, Hormuz disruptions could slow down the production recovery,” the bank’s commodity analysts said, as quoted by Bloomberg. They added that Middle East oil production remains 10.5 million barrels daily below pre-war levels. “T

AI and economy fuel stress for 40% of DSE candidates: Hong Kong youth group poll

West Texas Cowboys Are Cashing In on the AI Land Rush

Forty miles outside Abilene, in the highlands between Taylor and Nolan counties, 421 wind turbines have spun since 2006. Horse Hollow was the largest wind farm on earth when it went up…nearly 47,000 acres of cattle country and mesquite scrub, leased from ranch families who mostly kept running cattle underneath the blades. West Texas doing what West Texas does best…selling the wind nobody else wanted. Twenty years later, the same stretch of the state is selling something else nobody has enough of

Value factor as a return booster?

Hello everyone, I'm currently reading up on factor investing and would like to get your opinion on a potential strategy expansion. The common mantra here in the forum or as with Finanzfluss/Finanztip is usually: “Keep it simple” via MSCI World + EM or directly as a one-ETF solution via the FTSE All-World. This is absolutely solid as a forecast-free basic investment, but I wonder whether performance is being left behind here. Specifically, I got the iShares Ed

IMF sees world economy growing just 3% this year amid Iran war

The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday modestly downgraded its outlook for the world economy this year, citing the energy shock caused by the Iran war. But the fallout from the conflict is being partially offset by booming investment in artificial intelligence and other technologies. The IMF now expects the global economy to expand by a sluggish 3 per cent in 2026, down from 3.5 per cent last year and from the 3.1 per cent it had forecast for this year back in April.
