On September 12th, at the Xiongan Forum of the 2026 China Computing Power Conference, the Xiongan International Integrated Computing Power Scheduling Center officially launched. The center comprises two main modules: an integrated computing power scheduling platform and an international large-scale model service platform. The Xiongan International Integrated Computing Power Scheduling Platform aims to create a national-level cross-domain computing power scheduling hub, coordinating and aggregating diverse and heterogeneous computing power resources, connecting the computing power circulation network, and solving the problem of isolated computing power. The platform already covers eight national computing power hubs and connects to 44 computing power resource pools in 19 provinces across China, with a total computing power exceeding 27,000 petabytes. Based on the integrated computing power scheduling platform, the Xiongan International Large-Scale Model Service Platform focuses on token scheduling services, aggregating mainstream large-scale models across all categories, and will create a global large-scale model aggregation service hub.On September 12th, Liz Miller, founder and president of Summit Place Financial Advisors, stated that although the market widely expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week, further tightening is "fundamentally unnecessary" given the overall economic stability. Miller said, "I think most investors believe the Fed will raise rates next week, and I think the probability is high. But fundamentally, its unnecessary. Id love to hear the discussion at the decision-making meeting, because some Fed governors firmly believe that they need to act before overall inflation rises and bring it back to the 2% target. However, if we look at the rest of the economy from a patient perspective, its actually quite stable, and Im not sure if a broad-based rate hike is truly necessary. We can continue to observe whether rising oil prices will spread and see core inflation gradually decline."On September 12, 2026, Zhu Hexin, Vice Governor of the Peoples Bank of China and Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, met with Wong Tin-yau, Chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, and Leung Fung-yee, Chief Executive Officer.

WTI price falls below the $76 mark amid altering financial dynamics and global growth concerns

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
