Oil rallied as the dollar wobbled and markets digested the possibility of OPEC+ cutting production in order to stabilize the volatile futures market.  West Texas Intermediate rose 3.7 per cent to over US$93 a barrel while Brent futures surpassed US$100 a barrel as dollar weakness made commodities prices in the currency more attractive. Traders are weighing the potential of OPEC+ decreasing its crude output after Saudi Oil Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Bloomberg 'extreme' volatility is disconnecting futures prices from fundamentals.

The president tossed out precedent in promoting key allies to run the Communist Party China's new top leaders look a lot like the old ones: Seven men in dark suits led by Xi Jinping. But the Politburo Standing Committee unveiled Sunday in Beijing shattered decades of expectations about how power is transferred in the world's second-largest economy. Just by walking out on the red carpet at the Great Hall of the People, Xi upended the most consequential norm of all: handing over the reins of the Communist Party.

Over the course of his prolific career, Hans Zimmer has composed music for more than 150 films, ranging from Dune to Gladiator to Pirates of the Caribbean. As a result, an individual's transformation from casual filmgoer to zealous Zimmer superfan can progress along any number of cinematic routes. But often the roots can be traced back to one particular movie soundtrack, or even one particular song. For Stacey MacNaught it happened during a car ride with one of her children. One day, she was driving her son back from soccer practice, listening to Time, a poignant, complex instrumental number that Zimmer composed for the 2010 sci-fi flick Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan.

Prices rallied above US$90 after Saudi Oil Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Bloomberg 'extreme' volatility is disconnecting futures prices from fundamentals.   'Oil is rebounding this morning as the topic of production cuts has surfaced amid recent price weakness and a growing chorus that paper markets are being distorted by low volumes and fewer participants,' said Stacey Morris, head of energy research at VettaFi.

By and Jinshan Hong A classic Asian drink has become one of the US's fastest-growing refreshments — creating a global food export stranglehold for Taiwan, its place of origin. Bubble tea, also known as boba, is named for the chewy, rubbery tapioca balls that give the sweet beverage its unique mouthfeel, commonly known among boba addicts as 'QQ.' Its popularity has surged around the world in the last two years, particularly in America — 2022 trade data shows that these pearls are now US's biggest food import from Taiwan, a rare pandemic-era success at a time when consumers everywhere cut back on discretionary spending and food outlets struggled to stay afloat.
