From cargoes for June onward, West Texas Intermediate Midland, oil from
the Permian will become one of a handful of grades that set the Dated
benchmark.
Freeport:
Overnight:
FF: EV production starts after months delay; FF91; it's much-delayed first luxury car, the FF 91 Futurist, California factory; shares rose 24% to 44 cents/share; longer range and better acceleration than Tesla, etc. No specifics.
RSV: J&J drops out. Link here.
Last month, a split panel of FDA experts voted 7-4 in support of the
safety and effectiveness of Pfizer's shot. Soon after, the same
committee voted unanimously in support of the effectiveness of GSK's
shot and 10-2 on the safety question.
Though Moderna is trailing, the company stands a chance of gaining
approval in time for the upcoming RSV season this fall. That puts all
three on deck to compete. News on the RSV vaccine front could spark
shares. Pfizer and Moderna stocks remain below their 50-day lines, while
GSK stock is trading in line with that key marker.
Johnson & Johnson didn't expect to wrap up its Phase 3 study
until November 2024, according to ClinicalTrials.gov. That would have
given the other three a vast lead. Meanwhile, JNJ stock is already under
pressure this year, having fallen more than 16% from a high point in
late December.

RBN Energy: in quest to lower methane emissions, piking the right technology is key, part 3.
The oil and gas industry is being pushed by regulators, third parties
and investors to better identify and mitigate its methane emissions,
especially the few “super-emitter” sites that make outsize contributions
to overall emissions. But while operators are ramping up capital
spending on new technology, one thing has become clear: There is no
silver bullet when it comes to reducing emissions, and each option
includes one or more drawbacks, including source attribution, costs,
quantification, and detection limits. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll break
down the advantages and disadvantages of the different measurement
technologies.
