Express certificates

I would be interested in your opinion on the subject of express certificates. For screwballs like me, they seem to have been made: After all the recent rally, I don't believe in stock markets necessarily only rising in the medium term, but I don't believe in a complete crash either. So I exchange the possible unlimited upside of an ETF/stock investment for defined return opportunities + risk buffer. submitted by /u/Ok-Minimum-9613 [link] [comments]

Iranian, Russian Crude Premiums Slide as China Pulls Back on Imports

Weak demand from Iran’s top crude buyer, China, has dragged Iranian flagship oil prices into discounts to ICE Brent for the first time in two months, trade sources told Reuters on Thursday. Demand for Iranian oil in its biggest export market has waned in recent weeks, as imports in China slump to multi-month lows and the independent refiners, the so-called teapots that buy the bulk of Iran’s oil, reduce run rates. This has dragged the price of Iranian Light crude to discounts ranging from $0.50
