Why Hasn't Oil Hit $150 (Yet)? Authored by Robert Rapier via OilPrice.com , Global oil inventories and floating storage have acted as temporary shock absorbers against the Hormuz disruption. OPEC spare capacity has stabilized markets, but it cannot fully replace lost Persian Gulf exports indefinitely. Prolonged disruption could eventually exhaust market buffers and trigger a much sharper oil price surge. I think most energy analysts would have been shocked to learn that roughly three months into a total closure of the Strait of Hormuz, oil would be trading at just over $100 a barrel. I certainly expected prices to be significantly higher by now. The physical math seems indisputable: take that much supply off the market, and prices should respond quickly and decisively. Oil prices have risen sharply, to be clear. But we are still short of the levels seen following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, or of the all-time highs set just before the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Instead of the $150 oil many anticipated, prices have climbed, but not to catastrophic levels. It is easy to look at this and conclude that the market has absorbed the shock. But that interpretation risks confusing resilience with delay. What we are seeing is not a resolution. It is a temporary buffer. The Market's Hidden Shock Absorbers The biggest reason the oil market hasn't reacted more violently to the Strait of Hormuz closure is simple: the world entered this crisis with more inventory than many analysts appreciated. Those barrels have acted as a shock absorber. They don't eliminate the problem. They just delay it. Global commercial stocks have been drawing for weeks . OECD inventories are now below their five-year average , and independent trackers like Vortexa and Kpler show steady declines in floating storage as well. None of this looks dramatic on a chart. The drawdowns are orderly, and prices have risen, but not explosively. On the surface, the system appears to be coping. But inventory isn...

Flying Tiger is the latest retailer to be snapped up by Modella Capital, the British investment firm which already owns the former high street arm of WH Smith, now called TG Jones. The Danish company, known for its cut-price homewares and craft kit, operates about 1,000 stores worldwide, including 80 in the UK, where it employs more than 1,000 people. For the past year it has been controlled by its banks and management, which bought out the company in June. The acquisition will be Modella’s first foray outside the UK, but is likely to raise fears about the future of Flying Tiger as the private equity firm, set up four years ago, has quickly gained a reputation for rapid and hard-nosed restructuring. It is currently asking creditors of TG Jones to approve a restructuring plan that could see up to 150 stores close, including up to 60 hosting Post Offices, with the loss of hundreds of jobs. Two other high street retailers under its ownership, Claire’s and The Original Factory Shop, both collapsed earlier this year, with the loss of about 2,500 jobs. Hobbycraft, the specialist retailer Modella bought in 2024, has also closed at least nine stores through an insolvency procedure known as a company voluntary arrangement, which also reduce rents on some outlets. Modella is backing Flying Tiger’s existing management team along with their strategy, which includes global expansion via more than 700 new franchise stores by 2030. Joseph Price, managing director of Modella, said: “Flying Tiger Copenhagen is a hugely exciting opportunity for Modella Capital. With its strong retail brand, and a unique product offering that has built a loyal customer base across more than 40 countries, Flying Tiger Copenhagen is a business with tremendous potential. We are pleased to be investing in its future, and we look forward to working closely with the management team to provide the stability, capital and retail expertise the business needs to fulfil its growth plan.” John Dueholm, chair of Fl...

人智协同对打破数据壁垒、促进标准统一的推动作用，为国内统一大市场建设提供了技术支撑。 人智协同是制造业转型升级的重要动能，锚定新兴产业与未来产业创新发展主流趋势。但该模式落地推进过程中，面临结构性就业冲击、科技伦理困境、知识产权归属模糊、统一大市场壁垒、数据跨境流动合规等多重挑战与风险，因此，我们亟须从完善国内法规体系、强化国际对接能力、创新政策工具等维度，构建内外协同的保障体系。在技术创新的同时，牵引制度创新，推动我国制造业高地向全球智造中心跃升。 人智协同生产方式发展现状 人智协同生产方式作为人工智能技术与人类劳动者深度融合的新型生产范式，通过智能系统重构制造全流程，将人类的经验决策、创新能力，与机器的精准计算、高速执行优势深度耦合，成为了我国制造业转型升级的核心引擎。 政策支持层面，我国已构建起“国家顶层设计+地方创新实践”的立体化政策体系。国家层面，2026年八部门联合印发《“人工智能+制造”专项行动实施意见》，规划了算力底座、模型体系、应用场景等七大重点任务；《人工智能赋能制造业重点行业转型指引》与《制造业企业人工智能应用指南》形成从顶层设计到落地执行的完整闭环。地方层面，深圳等地推出“人工智能+”先进制造业行动计划，通过打造工业智能体创新中心、开放百个应用场景等举措，推动技术成果商业化。 应用发展方面，国际数据公司IDC发布的数据显示，2025年我国工业企业应用大模型及工业智能体的比例达47.5%。工业机器人2025年产量达77.31万套，2026年产量预计超过80万套，一季度同比增长33.2%。实践中，德赛西威通过全流程AI融合项目构建闭环智造模式，桐昆股份以“5G全连接+数字孪生”实现能耗精细化管理，重庆搭建汽车行业可信数据空间打破数据孤岛，这些案例印证了人智协同在研发、生产、供应链等环节的系统性价值。 全球产业链重构背景下，中国凭借完整产业链、庞大市场与AI技术优势，有望从“世界工厂”向“全球智造中心”转型。同时，人智协同对打破数据壁垒、促进标准统一的推动作用，为国内统一大市场建设提供了技术支撑，形成了政策驱动与市场牵引协同、技术突破与生态构建并进的发展格局。 可能引发的主要风险 1.对就业的结构性影响。 当前我国智能化改造企业技能人才存在缺口，低技能岗位替代集中，基础操作工岗位大幅减少。同时，高技能复合型人才需求激增与供给滞后形成巨大鸿沟，企业缺...

金融支持不足的背后，是传统金融体系的风险偏好、产品设计、服务模式与新兴产业发展特性之间存在的深层结构性失配。 美以联合发动的对伊朗军事打击，引发国际油价剧烈震荡，布伦特原油期货一度飙升至每桶119.50美元，创近四年新高，充分暴露出传统化石能源供应链的脆弱性。 与此相照，作为贯通可再生能源与绿色化工的新型能源体系，以构建“绿电—绿氢—绿氨/绿醇”完整闭环为核心特征的“风光氢氨醇”一体化项目，其战略价值凸显。 尽管发展势头迅猛，但产业的金融支持问题也很明显。目前来看，主要表现为项目资金来源主要以产业基金、大型国有银行等国有资本为主，股份制商业银行等市场化金融机构的支持相对保守。民营资本大多只涉及单体规模较小的项目以及产业链应用端、装备制造、技术研发等环节。 金融支持的失衡，可能给产业可持续发展埋下隐患。国有资本承载能力有限，难以完全满足产业规模化扩张的资金需求；市场化资本缺位很容易导致产业创新动力不足，形成"政策依赖症"。此外，单一资本来源也使产业抗风险能力薄弱，一旦遭遇政策调整或市场波动，极易陷入资金链断裂的困境。 深层结构性失配 “风光氢氨醇”项目以风光可再生能源为原料生产绿氢、绿氨、绿甲醇等零碳燃料，产业链条长，还涉及电解槽技术、柔性合成氨工艺、生物质气化制甲醇、氢能储运等前沿技术，兼具科技攻关和绿色低碳特点，是典型的新兴产业。金融支持不足的背后，是传统金融体系的风险偏好、产品设计、服务模式与新兴产业发展特性之间存在的深层结构性失配。 一是项目属性与资本风险偏好失配。 "风光氢氨醇"项目具有"大投资、长周期、慢回报"特征，与传统金融资本"低风险、短周期、高流动性"的风险偏好形成鲜明反差。典型项目需配置大量风光发电单元，叠加制氢、合成氨醇等化工单元，总投资动辄数十亿乃至百亿以上，建设周期3~5年，投资回收期长达7~10年。而商业银行、私募基金等市场化金融机构的贷款期限普遍在5年以内，投资回收期也多限定在3~7年，与项目回报周期严重不匹配。 此外，传统金融机构的风险评估体系仍以历史盈利数据、抵押物价值为核心标准，而产业目前仍处于起步阶段，多数项目尚未实现盈利，缺乏有效抵押物，进一步加剧了金融机构的惜贷、慎贷情绪。这种属性错配导致市场化资本不敢进入、不愿进入产业领域。 二是金融产品与产业特性失配。 “风光氢氨醇”产业具有长链条、高科技、绿色化特性，不同环节的资金需求、...

Hong Kong has overtaken Switzerland as the world’s largest cross-border wealth hub, driven by an initial public offering (IPO) bonanza and capital inflows from mainland China, according to Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Cross-border wealth booked in Hong Kong climbed 10.7 per cent in 2025 to US$2.95 trillion, narrowly beating Switzerland’s US$2.94 trillion after rising 7.6 per cent last year, the international consultancy said in its latest global wealth report released on Wednesday. “These shifts are reshaping the geography of global wealth,” said Michael Kahlich, a managing director at BCG and a co-author of the report. “Hong Kong’s rise reflects the growing gravitational pull of Asian wealth and capital markets.” Advertisement He added that cross-border capital flows had concentrated into a smaller number of globally connected hubs. BCG’s finding represented an endorsement of Hong Kong’s “superconnector” role as a vital link between mainland and international capital markets. Advertisement Over the past three years, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has deregulated equity financing, debt financing and commodity trading to facilitate cross-border investment and trading, aiming to build a multi-asset platform consolidating Hong Kong’s status as an international finance hub.

Micron Stock Rises Wednesday. It’s Not the Only Memory Giant Joining the Trillion-Dollar Club. Barron's

Micron Technology was gaining again early Wednesday as it built on its surge from the previous day. Micron shares were up 5.5% at $945.04 in premarket trading. The stock rose 19% on Tuesday, fueled by a research note from UBS which raised its price target for Micron to $1,625 from $535, arguing long-term supply agreements justified a higher price-to-earnings ratio for the company.

Credit: Bridget Bennett/Bloomberg via Getty Images (left) / GummyBone via Getty Images (right) Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called Taiwan the "epicentre of the AI revolution" this week, after commenting about plans to invest $150 billion in the country each year. The company also plans to build new headquarters in Taiwan, a project that is planned to cost $5 trillion itself and create 4,000 jobs. At a launch event in Taipei for the planned Nvidia HQ, Jensen Huang said, "Four years ago, five years ago, Nvidia was spending about 10, 15 billion dollars a year in Taiwan. Now we're spending 100, going to 150 billion dollars in Taiwan each year." The comments come after AMD's own announcement last week that it would be investing at least $10 billion into Taiwan tech to 'accelerate next-gen AI infrastructure'. Jensen Huang did not say for how many years Nvidia intends to invest such an eye-watering amount into the country. Otherwise, ground will be broken for Nvidia's new headquarters later this year, and the build is estimated to be complete by 2030 (via Reuters). "Taiwan is the epicentre of the AI revolution," Huang went on to say, "This is where the chips come, ​packaging comes, this is where the systems are made, this is where AI supercomputers were created. The number of partners we work with here in ‌Taiwan, incredible." Taiwan is already the base of operations for the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world, TSMC (not to mention all the other hardware companies that call it home). Huang has previously said "Without TSMC, there is no Nvidia today" and described the semiconductor company as 'the pride of Taiwan.' Credit: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It's interesting to compare and contrast these developments to Nvidia's relationship to China. For a start, Huang has repeatedly bemoaned the company's dwindling market share, saying earlier this month ...

禁止在公眾地方管有另類吸煙產品實施近一個月，衞生署發出39張定額罰款通知書。至於吸煙率，統計處最新數據顯示下降至百分之8.5，是有紀錄以來最低。 去年15歲或以上的吸煙人口有53.8萬人，比2023年減少百分之6，吸煙率由百分之9.1下降至8.5，平均每天吸食量減至10.2支煙。 盧先生9歲起吸煙，每日需吸食兩包煙，去年透過衞生署和港大推出的「智聊戒」，由人工智能(AI)輔導，成功戒煙。 成功戒煙人士盧永盛稱：「建築行業的同事會說『你在戒煙？讓我引誘一下你』，他們會給香煙我，因為人的自制力有限，幸好當時機械人Mike Whatsapp短訊提醒我正在戒煙。它有時候會溫馨提示我，問我有沒有食煙、有沒有聽話，或有沒有需要幫忙的，給予情緒支援。」 為響應世衞組織(WHO)將五月三十一日定為「世界無煙日」，衞生署舉辦「六月．戒煙月」活動，透過300多間社區藥房，免費派發一周戒煙藥試用裝，同時在中醫診所等200多個地點，派發中醫戒煙耳穴貼，也會到建築地盤推廣，招募工人戒煙。 控煙酒辦公室主任林民聰表示：「香港每年因吸煙造成的經濟損失超過八十億元，政府會繼續投入資源，終極希望香港不會再有人因為吸煙而受到影響。」 至於禁止在公眾地方管有另類吸煙產品法例，4月30日起實施近一個月，控煙酒辦合共巡查約3,300次，發出39張定額罰款通知書，整體執法過程順利。 除了各項禁煙措施，衞生署表示，未來會繼續透過宣傳教育等方法，致力將吸煙率降至百分之7.8的目標。

MercadoLibre (MELI 1.05%) posted its first-quarter results on May 7, and the market had a negative reaction to the report despite sales and earnings beats in the period. The business recorded earnings per share of $8.23 on sales of $8.58 billion. For comparison, the average analyst estimate had called for earnings per share of $8.20 and revenue of $8.32 billion. Even though the company's earnings beat the average analyst target, performance still came in below some higher-end estimates. MercadoLibre has been prioritizing sales expansion recently, and it's coming at a cost for margins. Making matters worse in the eyes of some investors, management looks poised to continue that course for the foreseeable future. But while earnings are currently being tamped down by spending on growth projects, MercadoLibre is posting impressive overall results. The market isn't giving MercadoLibre enough credit MercadoLibre stock saw a significant sell-off following its Q1 report. With net income of $417 million, the business recorded a net-income margin of 4.7% in the period. Meanwhile, operating income came in at $611 million -- representing a margin of 6.9%. For comparison, the business posted a net-income margin of 6.4% and an operating income margin of 10.1% in last year's fourth quarter. MercadoLibre saw meaningful margin deterioration on a sequential basis, and investors punished the stock following the company's Q1 report. Net income was down 16% year over year in Q1, and the business posted an adjusted free cash flow loss of $56 million in the period. On the other hand, the business posted robust sales growth in the period. MercadoLibre's revenue surged 49% year over year in the first quarter. Total payment volume across the company's platforms came in at $87.2 billion. Performance in the category was up 50% year over year and 55% on a currency-adjusted basis. MercadoLibre's e-commerce division saw merchandise volume of $19 billion in the period -- up 42% year over year and a...
