Chevron: Operations at the land-based "Separated Neutral Zone" continue as normal. The "Separated Neutral Zone" is an area between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.Indian Prime Minister Modi: India and Canada will soon reach a trade agreement.March 2nd - Economists at Capital Economics stated that the oil market could experience a short-term surge similar to that seen during last years 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, when crude oil prices briefly included a risk premium of around $10 to $15 per barrel before retreating. This scenario is likely to occur if energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz recover quickly and the regions infrastructure proves to have suffered minimal lasting damage. Conversely, a more prolonged conflict would reduce the likelihood of this. These economists believe that in a moderate scenario, the fighting would drag on, risk premiums would remain high, but there would be no major supply disruptions, keeping oil prices in the $70 to $80 per barrel range for an extended period. According to the firm, only in a more severe scenario involving significant and lasting supply losses would oil prices potentially climb to $90 to $100 per barrel.Shares of U.S.-listed tanker companies rose in pre-market trading, with Frontline Shipping up 4.7%, International Shipping up 8.6%, and DHT Holdings up 8.3%.March 2nd - According to a report by Chris Turner of ING, the euro may fall further due to rising energy prices triggered by military strikes in the Middle East. He noted, "Investors have overweighted the euro and European assets this year due to a bullish outlook for recovery, and this expectation will naturally be challenged this week by rising energy prices." Turner stated that unless the conflict de-escalates soon, the euro could fall towards 1.1575. He believes that the nature of this energy shock will benefit the dollar the most, reflecting the USs energy independence and the reduced likelihood of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve due to rising inflation prospects.

Celsius crypto lender, now bankrupt, sues ex-money manager over alleged theft

Before the cryptocurrency lender went bankrupt last month, Celsius Network LLC, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by the company against a former investment manager, lost or stole assets worth tens of millions of dollars.


After Stone misrepresented himself as a pioneer in the industry, Celsius filed a case in Manhattan bankruptcy court accusing Stone and his business KeyFi Inc of "gross carelessness" and "extraordinarily poor" crypto investment.


Stone was "unable" to use cryptocurrencies profitably, according to Celsius, leading to losses of "several tens of millions of dollars."


He allegedly used stolen money to purchase hundreds of non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), which he kept out of sight, and then hid his activities by using Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency "mixer" that the U.S. Treasury Department banned on August 8 due to concerns that it could be used to launder the proceeds of cybercrime.


Six weeks after KeyFi sued Celsius in a Manhattan-based New York state court, the current case was filed on Tuesday.


It alleged that Celsius operated a Ponzi scheme, improperly handled client deposits, neglected to hedge investments, and defrauded Stone of possible compensation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.


According to court documents, Stone worked with Celsius for roughly seven months, concluding in March 2021.


Stone's attorney Kyle Roche said via email that Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky had approved KeyFi's remuneration, which included NFTs.


The most recent filing by Celsius, according to Roche, "is an effort to rewrite history and make KeyFi and Mr. Stone the scapegoat for their organizational failure."


Each party feels the other is owed money, and both lawsuits aim to recover it as well as compensatory and punitive damages.


After halting withdrawals and transfers for its 1.7 million clients because to "extreme" market circumstances on July 13, Celsius, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors.


The cases are KeyFi Inc. v. Celsius Network Ltd. et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652367/2022; and Celsius Network Ltd. et al. v. Stone et al., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-ap-01139.
