July 31 – Despite the disruption of approximately 500,000 barrels per day of production at ExxonMobil (XOM.N) due to the conflict with Iran, the company remains committed to its Middle East growth plans. Chief Financial Officer Neil Hansen stated, “We don’t make broad investment decisions based on today’s headlines. We can thrive in these kinds of environments and remain committed to our current and future investments in the region.” Before the outbreak of the war in late February, ExxonMobil’s combined crude oil production in the UAE and Qatar was equivalent to 900,000 barrels per day, accounting for about one-fifth of its global production, both of which have been severely impacted. Furthermore, two gas projects in Qatar in which ExxonMobil holds partial stakes were also severely damaged in the Iranian attacks, resulting in the suspension of approximately 450,000 barrels per day of production in Qatar and another 50,000 barrels per day in the UAE. Hansen stated that some of the company’s production in the UAE is currently stored in inventory awaiting the lifting of transportation restrictions. Hansen added, “We’ve noticed that some companies see the absence from such an important region as an advantage. We believe this view is very short-sighted and not in the best business interest.”The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 1.2 million Tesla (TSLA.O) vehicles for suspension issues.According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council, which decided to approve four nuclear power projects, including the first phase of the Zhuanghe nuclear power project in Liaoning.According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council, which reviewed and approved the "Draft Decision of the State Council on Amending the Regulations on the Administration of Housing Provident Funds" and the "Draft Decision of the State Council on Amending and Repealing Some Administrative Regulations".According to CCTV: Li Qiang chaired an executive meeting of the State Council to study relevant work on the implementation of the health-first development strategy.

Bitcoin (BTC) increased by 0.29% on Thursday. BTC finished the day at $20,223, somewhat correcting a loss of 1.63% on Wednesday. Notably, BTC avoided sub-$20,000 for the eighth day in a row while snapping a four-day losing run.


BTC increased to a morning high of $20,404 thanks to a positive start to the day. BTC dropped to a midday low of $20,052 after failing to surpass the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $20,629 throughout the day. However, BTC returned to $20,356 before easing down, avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) at $19,900.


US economic statistics supported the price of bitcoin.


The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI decreased from 56.7 to 54.4 in October. Analysts predict a drop to 55.5.


The Index's sub-components were diverse. The non-manufacturing employment index for ISM dropped from 50.0 to 49.1. The Prices Index, however, increased from 68.7 to 70.7.


The unit labor cost data and other statistics, which were crypto-positive, contained unemployed claims. Initial unemployment claims saw a slight dip from 218k to 217k, while unit labor expenses increased by 3.5% in Q3, down from 8.9% in Q2.


Although the statistics supported cryptocurrency, Fed Chair Powell's statement continued to challenge the willingness of buyers. The markets continued to react to Fed Chair Powell's speech on Wednesday, which contributed to the NASDAQ Composite Index's decline of 1.73% on Thursday.


The US employment data released today will significantly affect the NASDAQ Composite Index and the cryptocurrency market.


The association between BTC and the NASDAQ Composite Index remains due to the cryptocurrency's sensitivity to US economic data and the FED. The NASDAQ 100 Mini was up 0.5 points this morning.
