Supply: Despite Ukraines attacks on Russian energy facilities, including refineries and gas stations, Russia still stated that exports would increase by 200,000 barrels per day next month, unaffected by the attacks. EIA data indicates a decline in US crude oil production. Elsewhere, Middle Eastern negotiations over Gaza remain stagnant. OPEC+ decided to increase production by 540,000 barrels per day in September, fully restoring the 2.2 million barrels per day of additional production cuts. The additional 1.66 million barrels per day of voluntary cuts will be considered after December. 2. Demand: Despite the US PMI exceeding expectations, the Federal Reserves dovish stance and EIA data indicating a significant rebound in US diesel prices, stronger than last year, suggest that US demand remains resilient. However, rising long-term bond yields in Europe and Japan are weighing on the economic outlook. 3. Inventories: As of August 22nd, API crude oil inventories fell by 970,000 barrels per day, gasoline inventories by 2.06 million barrels per day, and distillate inventories by 1.49 million barrels per day. 4. Viewpoint: Demand is suppressed by overseas long-term bond interest rates, and there is a high degree of certainty of oversupply. However, the uneven distribution of inventories has led to low visible inventories, and crude oil prices may fluctuate downward.Futures market data from August 27th indicated that Trumps dismissal of a Federal Reserve governor weakened the US dollar, benefiting gold. The market is gradually digesting the positive impact of Powells dovish speech at the 25th Jackson Hole Conference, leading to a decline in silver prices. Focus is on the upcoming PCE data, with gold and silver prices expected to remain volatile in the short term. In the medium term, the Federal Reserve will continue its rate cuts, the US Senate will pass the "Big, Big" bill, and the US debt ceiling will continue to rise, potentially leading to a further increase in the fiscal deficit, all of which will be positive for gold prices. In the long term, uncertainties in the global trade and inflation environment, global central bank gold and silver purchases, and the persistent supply and demand gap between global central banks and silver, contribute to a bullish outlook for precious metals.

New FTX chief says bankrupt crypto exchange could restart

According to Chief Executive Officer John Ray, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is considering ways to resurrect its operations. He made the announcement to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.


According to Ray, who took over the company's leadership in November, a task group has been established to look at reviving FTX.com, the organization's primary international exchange.


The CEO also said in an interview with the Journal that he would research if resurrecting FTX's international exchange would generate more value for the company's clients than his team could get by simply selling the platform or liquidating its assets.


Following the news, FTT, the native token of FTX, increased by around 30%.


I'm relieved Mr. Ray is now only pledging to restart the exchange after months of blocking such attempts! Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of FTX, said in a tweet.


Bankman-Fried said, "I'm still waiting for him to eventually acknowledge FTX US is solvent and return clients' money.


An inquiry for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by an attorney representing FTX.


Bankman-Fried is accused of robbing the exchange's users of billions of dollars to settle debts accrued by his cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund, Alameda Research. He's denied the allegations of fraud.


Customer money' future, however, is still unknown. In a note to creditors earlier this week, FTX said that since declaring bankruptcy in November, hackers had stolen nearly $415 million in cryptocurrency from its worldwide and American exchanges.
