Societe Generale’s Kit Juckes links the Dollar’s trajectory to shifting interest rate and growth differentials, noting that US 2-year Treasury yields have surged since the war with Iran while the Dollar Index has only modestly advanced.

The post Iran’s Kharg Island oil shipments halt for first time since war began appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Iran’s main oil export terminal, Kharg Island, has gone dark. For the first time since regional conflict escalated, seaborne crude shipments from the facility have ground to a prolonged halt, with satellite imagery showing no tankers loading for multiple consecutive days. The stoppage isn’t a technical glitch or a scheduling gap. It’s the result of an intensified US naval blockade that has now prevented Iran from successfully exporting crude oil by sea for 28 straight days. What Kharg Island means for Iran’s economy Here’s the thing about Kharg Island: it handles nearly 90% of Iran’s oil exports. It’s not just important infrastructure.

The former General Motors headquarters inside the Renaissance Center in Detroit, April 15, 2024. Jeff Kowalsky | Bloomberg | Getty Images DETROIT — As artificial intelligence expands, it threatens to exacerbate a growing trend for America’s largest automakers: the elimination of white-collar workers. The “Detroit Three” automakers have together cut more than 20,000 U.S. salaried jobs, or 19% of their combined workforces, from recent employment peaks this decade, according to public filings and employment data from the companies. Reasons for the job declines vary by automaker, but in general are tied to evolving technological changes in the automotive industry, with the rise of software-defined vehicles, autonomous and all-electric vehicles, and, increasingly, AI. “Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.,” Ford CE
