In Weida proposes to provide $250 billion in financial guarantees for the OpenAI data centre project

On 27 July, according to the Wall Street Journal, NVDA.O is negotiating a financial guarantee of approximately $250 billion for OpenAI to support a large data centre project — This will be one of the most ambitious financial transactions in the United States of America in terms of artificial intelligence. According to sources, the guarantee from In Weida will help OpenAI to lease the 10 GW data centre project, which is being developed by the soft silver bank in southern Ohio. The total cost of the project (including chips deployed within the data centre) could exceed $500 billion and will be the largest data centre project announced to date. Electricity for the project is controlled by the United States Government and is financed separately by Japan under a recent trade agreement. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Lutnik was involved in power allocation decisions. Under the arrangement, British Wida would guarantee a range of financing instruments to enhance the confidence of lenders in the security of project funds. The terms have not yet been finalized and there is a risk that the transaction will break down. The $250 billion guarantee would cover the debt for the rental and construction of the data centre, excluding the British Virgin chip. Kim Xian

The first round of international oil prices on Monday set off a moratorium on inter-immaging between the US and Iran to ignite the ceasefire

ON 27 JULY, AS TRADERS ASSESSED THE SUPPLY RISK IN THE MIDDLE EAST, OIL PRICES DROPPED SHARPLY ON MONDAY. UNITED STATES AIR STRIKES ON IRAN WERE SUSPENDED ON WEEKENDS, WHILE AL-HOUTHI FORCES CLAIMED TO HAVE LAUNCHED ATTACKS AGAINST TARGETS IN SAUDI ARABIA. THE BRENT CRUDE OIL FUTURES FELL TODAY BY ABOUT 6 PER CENT TO AROUND $91 PER BARREL, AND WTI CRUDE OIL FUTURES FELL BELOW $84. THE PRICE OF NATURAL GAS IN EUROPE DROPPED BY 7.8 PER CENT. AFTER 13 DAYS OF CONTINUOUS STRIKES AGAINST IRAN, THE UNITED STATES SUSPENDED OPERATIONS FROM LATE FRIDAY, RAISING MARKET QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY FORWARD FOR TRUMP. THE IRANIAN ARMY INDICATED THAT TEHRAN HAD SUSPENDED ITS RESPONSE. DESPITE THIS, YEMENI AL-HOUTHI CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD ATTACKED SAUDI ARABIAN FACILITIES IN THE RED SEA PORT CITIES OF GIZAN AND YANBU ON SATURDAY, BUT NEITHER RIYADH NOR SAUDI ARABIAN IMMEDIATELY CONFIRMED THIS CLAIM. AS THE AMERICAN-IRAQI CONFLICT SPREAD FROM THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO THE RED SEA, BRENT CRUDE OIL HAS SOARED THIS MONTH AT ABOUT 30 PER CENT, WITH A BRIEF BREAKTHROUGH OF $100 PER BARREL LAST WEEK. THIS CONFLICT, WHICH IS NEARING THE END OF THE FIFTH MONTH, HAS HEIGHTENED CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL INFLATION, AS THE GLOBAL FUEL MARKET HAS LOST ITS SPARE CAPACITY AT A TIME WHEN THE WAR HAS PUSHED UP PRICES, AND THE PRICE OF FINISHED OIL HAS JUMPED.

On 27 July, the President of the United States, Trump, released successive photos of AI on social platforms showing United States troops bombing Iran ' s Hormuz Island and detaining Iranian tankers.

Iran's paper from Press TV commented that, as the United States media reported that there was an urgent need for United States military ammunition stocks, Trump appeared to be investing in another kind of “firepower” — the purchase of more AI image generation services for its latest imaginary battleground victory.
