Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel
- Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.
- Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.
- Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.
- Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Quick Glance: Billionaires Profiting from AI 2024
- The AI gold rush has led to a plethora of new billionaires in the sector, as surging values for both public and private companies with ties to AI have skyrocketed.
- Over the past year, tech companies, both new and old, have seen massive share price increases, making the world's tech tycoons even richer and introducing over a dozen new AI billionaires into the Forbes World's Billionaires list.
- Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang serves as the poster child for this boom. However, other companies like Super Micro Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, and Cloudflare also benefited from the trend. Privately owned AI companies have also gained momentum, with AI-centric startups alone raising nearly $50 billion in funding last year.
- Major tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet have significantly contributed to financing private AI companies to compete in the AI race. However, it remains to be seen if and when the AI bubble will burst and funding could dry up.
