Chevron CEO: Crude oil approaches $150 in Asia
Bitcoin World data: Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said that although crude oil is priced at $105 on the screen, in the Asian market the actual price is close to $150. He pointed out that shipping risks and a reduced supply buffer have distorted the crude oil market. Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, Wirth warned that as the Middle East conflict enters its eighth month, global oil and fuel reserves are becoming increasingly thin. Brent crude oil futures prices do not reflect all the costs required to deliver specific crude oil. Asian buyers also have to bear freight, insurance, regional premiums, and the costs of dealing with blocked shipping routes. As tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz increased risks, related costs have risen sharply. Crude oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen by about 27%, to 10.1 million barrels per day, although alternative routes through the Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea have helped keep overall Middle East exports close to pre-war levels. Wirth also mentioned that global commercial oil inventories have fallen below 6 billion barrels, with only about 10% of inventories readily available during disruptions.

Musk praises Bezos, saying he invested 28 billion dollars in Blue Origin.
Coin World News: Musk publicly praised Amazon founder Bezos, saying he invested $28 billion in the private rocket company Blue Origin. Bezos also mentioned that Blue Origin may hold an initial public offering (IPO) in the future. The two billionaires have competed for years over launch contracts and satellite internet customers. Musk's rocket company SpaceX went public in June. In a conversation with Fox News host Bret Baier, Bezos revealed that the company recently raised $10 billion from outside investors, the first external financing in the company's 26-year history. Baier added that investment demand exceeded the shares available. Bezos explained why he waited so long to let outside investors in, saying, "I didn't want to bring outside investors in until I was confident it would be a good investment for them." Bezos also said that a Blue Origin IPO may not come soon, and is expected to go public "a few years from now." Despite raising funds, Blue Origin still lags behind SpaceX, which reached a valuation of $1.77 trillion at the time of its listing.

Nvidia支持的Firmus IPO估值下调25%
Coin World News: Nvidia-backed Firmus announced a 25% cut to its IPO price, lowering its valuation to A$33 billion, as investors raised doubts about AI data center valuations and execution risks. Firmus reduced its issue price from A$11 to about A$8.25, with the expected equity valuation dropping from nearly A$44 billion to A$33 billion, and potential IPO proceeds falling from about A$7.9 billion to A$5.9 billion, or roughly US$4.1 billion. The repricing is notable because Firmus, backed by Nvidia and Blackstone, is preparing for one of the largest listings in Australian history. Firmus plans to operate about 1 gigawatt of AI data center capacity, but currently has only about 42 megawatts in operation, and investors are being asked to value it before most of that capacity has been built. Shares of Maas Group, which holds about a 3.2% stake in Firmus, fell as much as 30% at one point and ended down more than 22%, wiping out about A$517 million in market value.
