Riyadh warns of soaring oil prices |
Saudi Arabia aims to assert its leadership among oil exporters at any cost. The Kingdom’s authorities are determined to squeeze its rival Iran out of the global crude market.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that oil prices could skyrocket to incredible highs unless oil producing countries unite to step up pressure on Iran whose rampant oil output poses a threat to the global oil market.
Such aversion to Iran is caused by the recent drone attacks on major oil facilities of state-owned Saudi Aramco. Houthi rebels from Yemen claimed responsibility for bombing. However, several countries including the US, Great Britain, Germany, and France believe that Tehran is to blame. In turn, Iran denied its involvement in the attacks.
Following the air strikes, Riyadh slashed its oil output by nearly half or 5.7 million barrels per day. Remarkably, the Kingdom revived its crude processing facilities to their original capacity ahead of schedule. Saudi Aramco is expected to fulfill its commitment to customers through strategic oil reserves.
Citing the Saudi Crown Prince, the latest drone attack can be viewed as the trigger for war. In case standoff between Riyadh and Tehran escalates, the Middle East will face a severe economic downturn. Mohammed bin Salman reiterates that 30% of the global oilfields are deposited in the Gulf region. 20% of trade routes pass across the Middle East. Its GDP accounts for 4% in the whole global economy. The direct armed conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran would smash down this well-balanced state of affairs.
The son and top adviser of King Salman is certain that Iran is taking advantage of negligence of other countries that presents a challenge to the world order. Thus, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East will inevitably put the global economy at stake. Due to disruptions in oil supplies, crude prices will leap to the highs unseen earlier, warns Mohammed bin Salman.
Unwilling to unleash the military conflict, Riyadh is ready to settle the stalemate through the third party. The Saudi Crown Prince called on US President Donald Trump to meet Iran’s leader Hassan Rouhani and negotiate a new draft agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The Kingdom wants to ease political jitters in the Gulf region with this move.

Ten significant achievements in space exploration |
Universe exploration is no longer romantic as it used to be when people made their first steps in astronautics. However, it still helps to solve a number of practical and scientific problems.
Here are ten significant space achievements which formed contemporary science
First ever image of Earth taken from space
The first photograph of the Earth taken from space in 1946 became the first ever success in space activity. It was a black-and-white image that seemed to consist of small grains and barely resembled photos of our planet.
The first colored photo, the Blue Marble, was taken from the spacecraft Apollo 17 only 26 years later in 1972. The image had a significant meaning for humankind.
First ever Mars landing
The first spacecraft to ever land on the surface of Mars in 1997 did a great job in exploring the territory of the ‘Red Planet’.
A Soviet robotic space probe Mars-3 made a soft landing and had been sending scientists information about the topography and properties of the Martian soil for several months.
First ever flight to outlet planets
In 1972, the Pioneer 10 traveled to Jupiter through a large asteroid belt. It had successfully completed its mission, disproving the myth that it was impossible to reach planets located on the other side of the belt.
The space probe sent its first pictures of Jupiter to Earth, and flew further into open space. In 1983, Pioneer 10 left the Solar System, becoming the first man-made object outside the system.
First ever spacewalk
In 1965, when Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov left the spacecraft Voskhod-2, he became the first man in the history of humankind to carry out a spacewalk.
Risking his own life, he took several photographs and practiced in moving in space. Further developments in the space industry were based on those materials.
Launch of first International Space Station
For the period from 1998 to 2000, numerous experiments were made to launch the first module of the International Space Station (ISS). The first astronauts stepped aboard soon after that.
Research on how weightlessness and a long stay in space affected the human body were the most important.
For the time astronauts had been working on the ISS, it became clear that a long-term stay in space was possible. The United States and the USSR had the greatest experience in building orbital stations by the end of the 20th century. Currently, most advanced scientific research in space continues.
Launch of first artificial satellite
Ahead of the space race of the late 50s – early 70s of the 20th century, the launch of an artificial satellite sparked interest of the entire world community of space scientists.
Sputnik 1, made in the USSR, was launched in 1957, a few years before the famous flight of Yuri Gagarin. Its purpose was to transmit radio signals and collect information about the Earth’s atmosphere.
Launch of Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is an automatic observatory operating on the Earth’s orbit. Its launch took place in 1990. At that time it was one of the most complex spacecrafts.
The telescope made countless striking images of the Solar System and became a trigger for serious research. Soon, the expansion rate of the Universe was calculated as well as other remarkable discoveries were made.
First animal to orbit the Earth
The launch of a stray dog Laika into space helped scientists to find out if living beings could survive outside the Earth.
Though, the further fate of the animal remained unknown, Laika paved the way for a man to fly into space in 1961.
First man in space
Seems like everyone knows about the flight of Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space.
Laika’s flight had a great impact on Russian cosmonautics and on April 12, 1961, the first man left the atmosphere of the Earth and went into outer space. To say the least, the whole world was watching the flight of the spacecraft Vostok 1.
First people on Moon
According to modern scientists, landing of the first people on the Moon is the main achievement in the space technology development. American Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon in 1969. His colleagues Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins remained on board of Apollo 11.
Since then, science relied on the opportunity to visit other celestial bodies of the Solar System. The last such journey was the landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on the surface of a moving comet in 2016.

8 remarkable scientific discoveries |
Progress does not stand still, especially in science. Numerous scientific researches constantly give new discoveries to humanity. Some of these impressive inventions worth mentioning. Read about eight remarkable scientific discoveries in our article
Invisibility cloak
This technology seems to have come down from the pages of science fiction books. Experts from Purdue University have found a way to control the speed of light by means of accelerating its movement along the optic fiber of the wavefront and slowing its by the end. This effect makes a sort of a hole in space and time that helps to move without being seen. Scientists are experimenting with different types of material in order to create the fabric they need. It will be part of an invisibility cloak which will hide everything that is under it.
Oxygen injection
Oxygen injection, developed in Boston Children’s Hospital, the US, allows any person to hold the breath for about 30 minutes. Half an hour without air is a strong result. Holding your breath for this period of time can break the world record. The secret of this invention is that oxygen particles surrounded by fat are easier to inject into the bloodstream. These particles are deformed in a special way and do not cause patients embolia. According to experts, oxygen injections will be widely used in medicine of the future.
Self-cleaning clothes
Scientists from the University of California have created a fabric that can drastically solve the problem of dirty clothes. The substance removes not only the dirt but also traces of chemicals that are destructing under the sunlight. During the experiment, anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid was added to the cotton fabric. It has eliminated all the dirty spots. The bad news is that such innovative clothing is very expensive. Currently, the scientists are making cheaper fabric with similar qualities. Military and medical personnel is expected to become the first to receive self-cleaning clothes.
Upsalite
The world's strongest absorbent has been found by accident. Researchers in Uppsala, Sweden left the equipment that turns magnesium carbonate into powder on for too long. Upsalite, an extra porous material, covers a surface area of 800 square meters per gram and the pore size is 10 nanometers, appeared in the process of reaction. Experts call it an “impossible material”. Upsalite surpasses the best absorbents by all standards. Potential areas of use of the product are humidity control and oil pollution removal.
Sulfur hexafluoride
This amazing substance is an artificially created gas. The product has a funny side effect. People start talking in a very gruff voice. Thus, the speed of sound is slowing down and voice is becoming low and deep. Sulfur hexafluoride cannot be deeply inhaled. Otherwise, it will remain in the inferior lung. The gas has such a high density that it is able to maintain objects in a state of soaring, creating the illusion of levitation.
LiquiGlide
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the US, have invented a unique surface called LiquiGlide. It provides a perfect glide and is not toxic. LiquidGlide can be used in various fields, e.g. for glass and plastic surfaces. It is enough to flip the bottle of ketchup or sauce upside down and everything that is inside will appear on a plate. This innovation has been approved by the US Department of Health.
Bose–Einstein condensate
Scientists Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein first predicted the idea of a unique condensate in the 1920s. However, it became possible to create the substance only recently. Bose–Einstein condensate is a special state of matter cooled to an extremely low temperature, very close to absolute zero. Under such conditions, atoms behave in an unusual way and quantum effects occur. Since it is impossible to achieve such low temperatures in reality, condensate is used to monitor the particles’ activity.
Electrically conductive cement
Scientists in Alicante, Spain have developed a special kind of cement that allows to conduct electricity and heat. These qualities do not have any impact on the concrete’s strength. According to experts, heated concrete will help to avoid icing and snow buildup. The secret of the material lies in carbon nanotubes, which are part of the cement structure and provide conductivity and strength. Electrically conductive cement has successfully passed the first tests but experts continue its improvement.

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that oil prices could skyrocket to incredible highs unless oil producing countries unite to step up pressure on Iran whose rampant oil output poses a threat to the global oil market.
Such aversion to Iran is caused by the recent drone attacks on major oil facilities of state-owned Saudi Aramco. Houthi rebels from Yemen claimed responsibility for bombing. However, several countries including the US, Great Britain, Germany, and France believe that Tehran is to blame. In turn, Iran denied its involvement in the attacks.
Following the air strikes, Riyadh slashed its oil output by nearly half or 5.7 million barrels per day. Remarkably, the Kingdom revived its crude processing facilities to their original capacity ahead of schedule. Saudi Aramco is expected to fulfill its commitment to customers through strategic oil reserves.
Citing the Saudi Crown Prince, the latest drone attack can be viewed as the trigger for war. In case standoff between Riyadh and Tehran escalates, the Middle East will face a severe economic downturn. Mohammed bin Salman reiterates that 30% of the global oilfields are deposited in the Gulf region. 20% of trade routes pass across the Middle East. Its GDP accounts for 4% in the whole global economy. The direct armed conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran would smash down this well-balanced state of affairs.
The son and top adviser of King Salman is certain that Iran is taking advantage of negligence of other countries that presents a challenge to the world order. Thus, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East will inevitably put the global economy at stake. Due to disruptions in oil supplies, crude prices will leap to the highs unseen earlier, warns Mohammed bin Salman.
Unwilling to unleash the military conflict, Riyadh is ready to settle the stalemate through the third party. The Saudi Crown Prince called on US President Donald Trump to meet Iran’s leader Hassan Rouhani and negotiate a new draft agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The Kingdom wants to ease political jitters in the Gulf region with this move.

Bank of Russia wants tricky access to markets |
A lot of rookie traders gladly experiment in various financial markets. Eventually, they have good fortune on their side, though they have to deal with losses and disappointment on their path to success. However, aiming to safeguard retail investors from trade shocks, the Bank of Russia intends to set restrictions for amateur investors. They will be allowed to invest no more than 50,000 rubles annually (roughly 780 US dollars) in foreign stocks and other risky assets.
The Bank of Russia is discussing a bill that will bring trading activities under control. Of course, the regulator underscores that it puts a high priority on protecting inexperienced traders from heavy losses. Nevertheless, the new legislation could deal a blow to leading brokers. According to their estimates, such restrictions will bar 80% of their clients from 75% of trading instruments. At present, two categories of investors operate in stock markets: professionals and amateurs. The bill proposed by the Bank of Russia divides private investors into qualified and unqualified. Besides, the Russian watchdog defines three categories of private investors.
1. Qualified investors are those individuals whose investment portfolio is worth over 10 million rubles (about USD 156,250) as well as those who have executed deals totaling at least 6 million rubles (USD 93,750) in the recent six months. This category includes traders who hold an appropriate license and certificates or have a vast experience in financial markets. They can get access to foreign securities and private mutual investment funds.
2) Unqualified retail investors represent those individuals who handle assets worth over 1.4 million rubles (USD 21,875) or who have obtained a license or certificate. Such market participants are allowed to trade shares and bonds of Russian companies listed on the Moscow Exchange. Besides, they can provide unlimited investment for trust management.
3) Unqualified investors who need special protection must fulfill the same requirements which are imposed on the above-mentioned category. The third group of retail investors can carry out similar deals, though on some conditions. These market players are allowed to trade shares and bonds only when such assets are secured by the broker’s own funds. Amateur investors must have their knowledge tested. If a trader fails a test, he or she will be able to make deals to the total value of no more than 50,000 rubles (roughly USD 780) per year.
The Bank of Russia believes that such a division is supposed to cushion unqualified investors from extra risks and rash trading decisions. Interestingly, market participants do not share the regulator’s viewpoint. Analysts warn that the new legislation will force Russian investors to buy foreign securities through brokers of different jurisdiction. To sum up, new risks will replace the previous ones.

3 cryptocurrency trading strategies |
In the crypto market, investors can trade digital currencies getting the opportunity to gain high profits with the use of modern trading strategies.
The cryptocurrency market is a relatively new phenomenon in the financial world. This type of currency is highly volatile which can bring both huge profits and significant losses. In our photo gallery, three main trading strategies are presented that will help you learn the crypto market better and be ahead of others.
Arbitrage trading
Arbitrage trading means buying an asset in one market and simultaneously selling it in another market at a higher price, thereby profiting from the temporary difference in prices. For example, on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, the price of bitcoin is $3,400, whereas on Coinbase - $3,300. In this case, the trader can purchase cryptocurrency on Coinbase and at the same time sell bitcoins on Binance, making a profit. To make the trading more efficient and to increase its execution time, automated trading bots are used.
Fundamental analysis
Fundamental factors can provide some assistance in the trading crypto assets. Analysis of fundamental background that may affect the chosen asset can help you understand its relevance for the trade. Fundamental analysis was first proposed by Benjamin Graham, an American investor and economist, and later it was popularized by one of the most famous investors in the world, Warren Buffett.
When using this strategy, the following parameters should be taken into account: NVT (The Network Value to Transactions Ratio), crypto asset valuation and the quality of the development team. The digital currency should be acquired for at least 10 years so that the current volatility does not influence its value.
Swing trading
The crypto market is known for its high volatility: the Bitcoin price can rise by 20% just in a few hours and then fall back. Many traders use this factor in their strategies, swing trading being one of those. Using this strategy, a trader holds a position for a certain period of time (from a few days to several weeks) later trying to outline the direction of the price’s general trend. With this trading method, success mainly depends on a person’s ability to predict market movements.

Iran demands compensation from USA |
This is the case when sanctions can turn out to be profitable. Iran must have decided to make money on the American sanctions. The country's authorities defined new conditions to return to the nuclear deal whereby the United States should pay $50 billion in compensation. According to Secretary of the Iranian Expediency Council Mohsen Rezai, Tehran needs conditions that go beyond the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA). If the Americans want to restore the deal, they themselves must comply with the agreement and pay compensation, he believes. The damage from the imposed oil restrictions was estimated at $50 billion. The official also said that the recent sanctions from the US against the National Bank of Iran had almost completely isolated the Islamic Republic and continued to do so.
Not long ago, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Washington of violating international laws and announced Tehran's readiness to return to negotiations on the nuclear deal on the condition that the US would lift all sanctions against the Republic. He suggests that the only reason for such action is that the United States wants to conquer the region and take over oil in eastern Saudi Arabia. This is the same reason why the country is fighting with China and other market players, the President of Iran thinks.
