Goldman Sachs' co-head of Asia-Pacific natural resources research, Nikhil Bhandari, said
According to news from Bijie, Nikhil Bhandari, co-head of Asia-Pacific natural resources research at Goldman Sachs, said that due to limited refining capacity, while governments and companies are rebuilding depleted inventories, diesel prices may need to remain elevated until 2027. "We need to keep refined product prices high enough to ensure that a certain degree of demand destruction continues next year." The bank believes that high diesel prices are necessary to prevent recovering demand from overwhelming already strained refineries. Goldman Sachs expects that in 2027, the global diesel and jet fuel crack spread—the premium of refined products relative to crude oil—will average more than $40 per barrel, far above the normal level of about $20. Although the bank expects Brent crude prices to stabilize at around $80 per barrel as crude oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz gradually return to normal in the near term.

Mistral Large 4 released: 1.05 trillion parameters, claims to have produced the strongest open-source model in Europe and America.
According to news from Bijie, Mistral has released its new flagship model, Mistral Large 4. The model uses an MOE architecture, with total parameters reaching 1.05 trillion, but only 49 billion parameters are activated per inference. The model natively supports image and text input, with a maximum context length of up to 1 million tokens. The API is already open for preview, and the model weights are planned to be made public on October 27. Mistral claims that Large 4 is currently the strongest open-weight model developed in the United States and Europe in terms of overall performance. The official Deepswe v1.1 software engineering evaluation score is 62%, the Finch financial evaluation score is 67%, and the Dior-RSVG satellite image target localization score is 73%. However, these results mainly come from Mistral's own testing and are not based on a unified standard. Large 4 was trained from scratch, and Mistral used about 4,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs to train it for about two months in its own data center in Europe. Mistral also uses "European autonomy" as a selling point. From training and API services to future autonomous deployment, the model can all remain on European infrastructure.
South Korea suspends relaxed bank security regulation as AI tools fuel hacking attacks.
CoinWorld news: South Korea's Financial Services Commission has announced the suspension of the next phase of its plan to relax bank security regulations, citing a recent series of AI-assisted hacking attacks that led to the leakage of customer records at seven financial institutions. The original deregulatory policy was based on the premise that AI could enhance security defenses, but these attacks even affected institutions rated as the most secure. The policy involves South Korea's network separation rules, which require financial companies to physically isolate internal business systems from the internet. The rule was initially implemented due to cyberattacks in the late 2000s, with public institutions protected since 2007 and banks since 2014. The Financial Services Commission said it still supports the principle of deregulation but that further review is needed.
