On August 10th, SpaceX (SPCX.O) announced a partnership with Tesla (TSLA.O), with an initial investment of $16.8 billion, to build the Terafab chip facility in Texas. A blogger posted that, based on Terafabs announcement, Musk seems to be adopting the "Free Electron Laser" (FEL) technology route to challenge ASMLs (ASML.O) LPP EUV light source and disrupt the monopoly of traditional EUV wafer manufacturing technology. Musks subsequent response seems to confirm this, as he posted "FEL FTW" (FEL For The Win). The slender design of Terafabs factory and Musks reply suggest that Terafab is likely to adopt FEL technology. Although Musks pursuit of FEL is currently just speculation, it has sparked heated discussion within the industry. FEL boasts advantages such as high power, high coherence, tunable wavelength, and higher energy efficiency, theoretically potentially pushing lithography light sources from 13.5nm to 6nm or even shorter wavelengths. However, the massive size of the accelerator system, its cost, and the stability of mass production remain the biggest challenges to industrialization.Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: The world today has realized that Iran is not to be trifled with.Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf: The Islamic system is at one of the most critical moments in its history, playing an irreplaceable role in regional and global security and stability.A Yemeni military source said that Yemeni citizens should stay away from areas where Saudi military personnel are concentrated.According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, the deputy head of the Iranian presidential office responsible for press and communications announced that Irans Supreme Leader Mojtaba has appointed Mohsen Rezaei as his representative in the National Security Council.

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.
