Thus has changed the way of working after the pandemic

by

Five years have passed since the Covid-19 pandemic marked a before and after in the way we work, forcing companies and employees to quickly adapt to New work models. Five years later, studies like that of the Gallup consultant and WFH Research have documented how these transformations have impacted the work environment: from the Award and drop of teleworking to the challenges related to the Mental health and commitment of employees. Evolution of remote work to hybrid. According to Gallup data, in 2019 60% of employees with Ability to telework They went to the offices five days per week. 32% already made it alternating face -to -face and remote work days. A model that we now know as hybrid days. Before everything changed, only 8% worked in a way completely remote. At present, data on the working day point to greater more diversity. According to Gallup, 55% of the 400,000 employees consulted work in a hybrid modality, 26% teleworking full -time and 19% remain exclusively face -to -face without options to telework at all. WFH Research data is more conservative in their estimates, assigning 25.7% to hybrid models, 12.9% to full -time teleworking, and a crushing 61.4% for face -to -face work. Stagnant since 2023. According to data collected by WFH Research, the number of working days that have been held from home have been stable since the beginning of 2023, representing 27% of the total days worked. Instead of prioritizing the increase of these remote work days, both studies confirm that employees give priority to maintain time flexibility. At present, an average of 2.3 days per week is worked remote, being the most common day to work from home. However, WFH Research data revealed that on, many occasions, that remote work occurred to compensate that on Friday it had later entered or left before the time, adding that flexibility component. Rock makes love. Gallup data revealed that the levels of employee commitment They have suffered a notable fall since the beginning of the pandemic, reaching a historical minimum in 2024 that places the employee commitment At 2014 levels. According to this index, 31% of employees felt committed to the values ​​and objectives of their company, while 17% showed actively disconnectedwhich implies being in a Silent resignation situation. In 2019, 55% of employees consulted by Gallup knew exactly what was expected of them, while, in 2024, it is a percentage barely reached 44%. In the same proportion, the alignment of the values ​​and the culture of the company registered between the employees has fallen before the pandemic, which stood at 38%, while in the updated it barely records 30%, indicating the detachment of the employees and the Lack of template cohesion. It is more complicated to retain talent. One of the direct consequences of this detachment is the difficulty of companies To retain talent. According to Gallup, the percentage of employees who feel they are thriving in their company went from 60% in 2019 to 50% in 2024, accompanied by record levels of negative emotions such as the Stress and exhaustion. This impact has been more pronounced Among young workerswho tend to experience higher levels of burnout and pessimistic evaluations about Your quality of lifeplacing them in a situation of high probability of employment change. In 2024, 18% of employees claimed to be fully satisfied with their current job, while 51% were thinking of changing jobs or were in Active search for a new job. Exceeding the levels that were recorded at the end of 2019. Managers have made a difference. The data collected in five years of surveys by the Gallup consultancy have revealed the importance of communication management and Leadership of intermediate positions and managers. Those companies with effective leadership have managed to maintain the company’s work culture, evolving with the changes that have occurred in these years. On the other hand, those companies with managers who have not known how to adapt To the new tools and a changing environment, they have suffered to retain your templates for the deterioration of its employees’ commitment.

Your plan to leave the oil also goes through betting strong in video games

by

‘Pokémon Go‘He broke into 2016 and transformed the world of mobile video games. He took us out, turned any corner into a digital hunting field and immersed us in augmented reality as never before. Almost a decade later, the iconic game is about to change the owner. Scopely, a developer owned by Savvy Games Group, which in turn belongs to the Saudi Sovereign Fund, has signed an agreement To buy it with other Niantic titles. A millionaire operation. Scopely has decided to disburse $ 3.5 billion to get part of the Niantic games business, which in 2024 generated more than 1,000 million dollars in revenue and maintains a base of more than 30 million active players per month. As we can see, this agreement does not imply the total purchase of the American company, but the acquisition of a part. If regulators are approved, Scopey, based in the United States and 950 employees in Spain distributed between Barcelona and Seville, will stay with ‘Pokémon Go’, ‘Pikmin Bloom‘ and ‘Monster Hunter Now‘, in addition to’ Campfire ‘,’ Wayfarer ‘and the global network of meetings that support them, such as live events. It will also absorb the team responsible for these projects, guaranteeing their jobs. A catalog with several successes. Scopely is the ‘Monopoly Go’ editor, a mobile game that, although it may not sound you, It became one of the great prominent global after beating its income record in 2024. And it is not his only strong letter. It is also behind ‘Stumble Guys’, ‘Star Trek Fleet Command’ and ‘Marvel Strike Force’, games with huge communities. With this acquisition, it seeks to get your business a step further. What will happen to Pokémon Go? One of the questions that can be asked is what will happen to the game. Scopely has given a signal by absorbing Kei Kawai and Ed Wu, veteran leaders of their studies. The company ensures that the teams “will continue with their ambitious roadmaps” and that “players can expect these games, apps and events to remain faithful to the experiences they know and love.” One of the keys to the success of other Scopey titles has been his aggressive monetization strategy, an issue that follows in the air in regard to ‘Pokémon Go’. It is not clear if the company will apply the same model or if it will respect the current structure of the game. In any case, Pokémon remains owned by The Pokémon Companyso any important modification should have its approval. Challenging moments for Niantic. The agreement comes after a complicated stage for Niantic. Although ‘Pokémon Go’ was a phenomenon from day one, reaching more than 500 million players in their first year, its popularity collapsed during confinements, when its mechanics based on outdoor exploration was practically unusable. This was followed by several setbacks. Niantic canceled ‘Transformers: Heavy metal’, developed in collaboration with the creator of Sleep no More‘Punchdrunk’, in addition to two internal projects with Blue Sky and Snowball Key names. There were also layoffs: In 2023, more than 300 employees were disconnected. With this panorama, the big question is inevitable: if Niantic is letting go to its greatest success, what bet does it have for the future? A turn to AI. Once the operation is finished, Niantic will transform its technological platform into Niantic Spatial Inc., a new Geospatial company. Its objective will be to develop a new generation map for devices and machines to interact with the physical world. As part of the agreement, Scopely will invest 50 million dollars in the company and continue to share certain data from the players. Black gold to digital world. It is no secret that Saudi Arabia seeks reduce its dependence on oil and diversify its economy. A key piece in this strategy is its sovereign fund, owner of Scopely, the company that has just signed the agreement with Niantic. The Fund plans to invest about 40,000 million dollars in the video game industry, with the aim of creating hundreds of companies and thousands of jobs from here to 2030.

First it was Broncano. Now, the new TVE director puts the channel’s afternoons up to compete with private

by

No one has caught the filtration that TVE will have his own ‘Save me‘, As much as that concept is not entirely exact. The appearances of María Patiño and Belén Esteban in ‘The revolt‘(One of both meetings, two more from Esteban alone) They have been interpreted As consistent confirmations of the presentation of the presenters to public television, as it seems that it will finally be. However, it is more than a signing: behind there are proper names linked to the ‘Save Me’ phenomenon and a medium -term TVE strategy. Rumors of changes. The exclusive televise was givenin information that other media have been confirming: Aitor Albizua, presenter of ‘Figures and Letters’, will lead a daily program for the afternoons in which María Patiño and Belén Esteban will also be. Albizua has achieved unusual data for LA2, such as 5.5 of average monthly fee in February, and this step to La1 (without abandoning the contest that has given him fame) is a jump for the presenter, who will be in charge of a program that will flag one “deep renewal“In the afternoons of the chain. To renew the afternoons. This is how Sergio Calderón, director of RTVE, spoke of the public television plans for that strip, when he decided to cancel the series ‘The Modern’. In ‘RTVE responds‘, The program in which the defender of the audience of RTVE helps to resolve the doubts of the spectators with the directors of the chain, Calderón said that “the curve of audiences of the series benefited from the expectation of the start of the chapter of’ The Promise ‘, our daily leading series of the afternoons, and we saw that its curve depended in excess of the performance of this subsequent offer.” That is, it was a space with possibilities, but “it was impossible to maintain, at emotional and also budgetary rhythm, three daily series in the afternoons.” And there enters a new formula. Who is Sergio Calderón. In December last yearthe new president of RTVE, José Pablo López, appointed Calderón director of TVE (with a certain controversy for the urgency with which it arrived). Calderón worked in Mediaset Spain until March 2024 -was fired by Alessandro Salem, CEO of the group After Vasile-, after 13 years of responsible for thematic channels such as Divinity, Energy and Be Mad. Then he entered as director of content, innovation, marketing and communication of manufacturers Studio (previously the TV factory), a producer known for the creation of ‘Save Me’. He was one of those responsible for the creation of his heir program, ‘nor that we were Shhh’ that has ended up being broadcast and under his own digital channel, Quickie Canal. The popularization of TVE. The signing of Broncano and his Good audience resultsplanting face to that moment untouchable Pablo Motos, confirmed the turn of TVE Towards a more popular televisionprecisely that one that tried to distance Salem’s mediaset with the cancellation of Sálvame. It is in that model where both a hypothetical space with Buenafuente and this program with the rumored Esteban and Patiño (rumors reinforced by statements of both in ‘La Revuelta’, where a “we are available”). What is confirmed is that it will be daily, live, and the Osa Audiovisual Producciones, of the creators of ‘Save Me’ and ‘Nor what we were’ will be managed. For the first time. There were no previous referents of these radical changes in the orientation of TVE, which had always maintained in late cultural competitions such as’ the hunter ‘ – which also leaves the grill with’ Moderna’- and, since September 2024, three series that will now remain in two to give space to the new Magacin. A more radical change than it seems because with this not only face face in the battle of audiences with Broncano, turned and good source, but will also do so in the afternoon Sonsoles Onega and ‘afternoon’.

Lip-Bu will assume command at a decisive time for the semiconductor company

by

Lip-bu Tan It will be the new CEO of Intel. The experienced executive, one of the main candidates after the abrupt departure from Pat Gelsingerwill assume the position on March 18. With his appointment, he will relieve David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus, who have led the company interim since December. “Lip-Bu is an exceptional leader whose experience in the technology industry, deep relationships in product and casting ecosystems, and a proven history of value creation for shareholders is exactly what Intel needs in his next CEO,” said Frank D. Yeary, who temporarily led the board of directors while looking for a new CEO. A fervent Gelsinger critic will be new CEO of Intel But the story of so with Intel does not start here. In the past, he was a fierce critic of the management of Gelsinger and the management that the company was taking. The former Cadence Design Systems courses joined the Intel Board of Directors In September 2022 with the objective of promoting the restructuring plan of the semiconductor firm. However, the differences with Gelsinger and other members of the Board soon arise. According to ReutersSo considered that Intel had an oversized template and that the company was losing agility in an increasingly dynamic market. For him, the real problem was not only the size of the company, but its risk aversion, a factor that was leaving it behind the competition. The tensions reached its highest point in October 2023, just when Intel announced the dismissal of more than 10,000 employees In an attempt to reduce costs and improve your efficiency. So, in disagreement with the management of the crisis and the strategic decisions of Gelsinger, he resigned from his position on the Board of Directors. Now he returns to hold the highest position of the company. His appointment not only marks a leadership change, but also presumable turn in Intel’s strategy. So arrives with the mission of redefining the future of the company, making it more competitive and recovering the trust of investors. Intel stands out in its statement How he has a degree in Physics from the Technological University of Nanyang (Singapore), has a Master in Nuclear Engineering from the Massachusetts Technological Institute and an MBA from the University of San Francisco. In 2022, he received the Robert N. Noyce Award, the maximum recognition of the Semiconductor Industry Association.

The Mexican canoes that challenged Spanish brigs

by

The big cities of the past are the foundations of many current cities. And a perfect example of this is Mexico City. In pre -Columbian era the territory that now occupies was dominated by two prosperous cities: Tlatelolco and Tenochtitlan. They were the so -called ‘twin cities’, and something they had in common was a Powerful and developed channel systeman advanced hydraulic and, above all, a domain of waters thanks to nautical technology. This technology was underestimated by the Spanish invaders and led the Mexica to the maximum audacity: face their canoes against the elderly and well armed Spanish brigs. Tlatelolco and Tenochtitlan. To talk about this story, we must understand the situation of the cities. Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325 by the Mexica. Was “The American Venice”, But the Tenochcas and the Tlatelolcas separated and, near there, founded Tlatelolco. Each had their culture, but there were elements that shared, as a strategic location to be isolated and protected naturally by lakes. The way the two societies had contact with the outside, and they had it, was through a sophisticated Ports and channel system. Channels. In recent years we have learned more about this channel system, when finding ports and new ‘streets’ that allowed both Tenochcas and Tlatelolcas to have an exit to the sea. This favored trade with other cultures, as well as a accelerated nautical developmentbecause its subsistence depended on this technology. Two canoe models. It was something that caught attention, because Asian and European civilizations are known for their maritime history, not the Mesoamerican. However, that need was what allowed The rapid lake development of the Mexica, having Two types of boats as a banner for civil, commercial and military activities. On the one hand, the rafts. They were built through the use of flat surfaces that could float. The most common thing was to use thin trunks that joined each other with natural fiber networks. They served to float, transport people and goods … and you couldn’t ask for much more. It is the image of ‘raft’ that we all have in our heads, go. Monoxila Canoa Example The second guy was a monoxy canoe. These were directly carved into a tree trunk, using fire to facilitate the process of ahuecamiento and, in addition, the bow had an sharp shape that allowed not only a higher speed, but an advanced maneuverability. They had about eight oars and surprised the Spaniards thanks a very intelligent mexic maneuver. Chapopote. The monoxilated canoes were made by trunks of Ahuehuete, Ceiba or Pino and, once carved and hardened thanks to the fire, they were smeared with an oil residue known as Chapopote/Chapaote. This caused the canoes to move like fish in the water, since they were waterproof and improved their benefits in the waters. So much that surprisedeven to the Spaniards. “They are not ships that depart a lot from land, because as they are low, they cannot suffer large sea. And with all that they are safer these canoes than our boats and canoes even if they flood and swell with water, they do not go to the ground or sink, and remain oversupply. No boat walks as much as the canoe, although the canoe goes with eight oars and the boat with twelve, ”wrote the Spanish Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedopraising these canoes. And an example of bergantin Canoas vs bergantines. Some of the canoes discovered They measure about six meters long and are 61 centimeters wide and used to, among other things, fight against Spanish ships. Less than 200 years after the foundation of both cities, the Spaniards attacked with the intention of appropriating them. They were besieged and the channels were key so that the Mexicans could supply during that period. Using the canoes, they could introduce goods, but they also led them to battle. Its little draft and high maneuverability allowed the Mexicans to tend to the Spaniards, but when the situation was less conducive because it fought in more open waters, no matter how much technology they had, they remained canoes from which the crew launched arrows and stones at much larger ships armed with cannons and strongly defended. In it Tenochtitlan final site 400 war canoes participated in front of 13 brigs. 300 were Sunkbut there are those who point out that, throughout the conflict, Thousands of canoes They were used. Both Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco They fell In 1521, so the naval cunning and expertise of the Mexicans could not against the brute and upper strength Spanish technology. Even so, the Spaniards would underestimate the canoes and their technology, the one that surprised Fernández de Oviedo and that allowed through the skirmishes and the movement of goods that the cities resisted the siege for a few months before claudicar.

Gemini Robotics is his plan for robots to act in the real world

by

Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) go hand in hand. It would be useless to develop humanoid robots capable of lifting tons, with state -of -the -art sensors, if we did not have an intelligent system that would allow them to interpret the environment and act accordingly. Without ia, a modern robot would be little more than a lot of sophisticated but useless hardware. They are the Advanced algorithms Those who transform that gross power into machines capable of learning, optimize their performance and respond autonomously to the challenges that are presented to them. From Asimothe iconic Honda robot of the 2000 Sophia, Tesla optimus either FigureAI has made its way in humanoid robotics. However, we are still far from seeing machines that really match the versatility of the human body. As advanced as they are, they still have trouble moving in un controlled environments and manipulating everyday objects can be a real challenge. Gemini Robotics: Google’s bet to take AI to the physical world Meanwhile, in the digital world, AI advances at a completely different rate. He is already able to hold conversations very close to those of a person, overcome exams with surprising scores and solve complex problems with a speed that until a few years ago seemed science fiction. A contrast that makes it clear that, although artificial intelligence progresses by leaps and bounds, there is still much Way to go in its integration with robotics. These challenges are leading to a new generation of AI models specifically for this discipline. Google, as expected, does not want to be left behind and already works on solutions that promise to take humanoid robots one step further. His bet goes through Gemini 2.0, that now has two versions designed to improve the interaction and control of these machines. On the one hand, Gemini Robotics It focuses on vision, language and action (VLA), which allows you to take direct control of robots and improve your response capacity in dynamic environments. On the other, Gemini Robotics-Er It is designed for robotics experts, giving them the necessary tools to develop and execute their own programs with advanced reasoning skills. Gemini Robotics-Er stands out in spatial reasoning with detection and signaling of 3D objects Google has identified three essential qualities that, as they explain, must have robots to be really useful for people. Generality. A good robot should not only execute predefined tasks, but also adapt to unpublished situations and solve problems on the march. It must be able to function in new environments, handle unknown objects and interpret varied instructions without depending on prior training. According to internal tests, its performance in unforeseen tasks far duplicates that of other vision-language models-last generation. Interactivity In a world in constant change, robots must be able to communicate naturally and respond to real -time instructions. Gemini Robotics includes commands in everyday language and in multiple languages, adapting their behavior according to conversation or environment. In addition, it continually monitors what happens around it and adjusts its actions based on new orders or changes in the stage. Skill. Many tasks that humans perform effortlessly require extremely precise motor skills, something that most robots have not yet managed to dominate. Gemini Robotics, however, is capable of performing complex tasks of several steps that require a thorough manipulation, such as folding Origami or packing a snack in a Ziploc bag, demonstrating a higher level of skill. Gemini Robotics not only stands out in the resolution of unforeseen tasks, but its generalization capacity far as the performance of other vision-language-action models. According to Google’s technical reportis able to adapt to unpublished scenarios and make decisions without prior training, bringing robots to real autonomy. In addition, it has been designed to function with different types of robots. Although he trained mainly with Aloha 2, a two -arms platform, he has also proven to control systems such as arms Frankaused in laboratories, and even more advanced humanoids such as Apollo, developed by Apptronik. Its flexibility makes it a model adaptable to various applications, from industry to assistance. For now, there is no scheduled date for a generalized deployment of Gemini Robotics or Gemini Robotics-Er. Technology is still developing and, for the moment, only a small group of companies is having access to these tools. Google Deepmind is collaborating with Apptronik in the construction of the next generation of humanoid robots, exploring how to integrate these models of AI in more advanced systems. In addition, some trusted tests, such as Agile Robots, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics and Enchanted Toolsthey are already testing Gemini Robotics-Er, although it is not clear if that access will be expanded in the future. Meanwhile, Google Deepmind continues to work on new security frames and benchmarks to evaluate the possible risks of AI in physical environments. All this makes it clear that, although the project progresses, there is still a long way before this technology reaches the general public.

A recruiter has given the key to what is the perfect time to find a new job: in March

by

In the same way that it is convenient to wait for the right time to request a salarythe job search also has its “sweet point” at a certain moment of the year in which the options of Find a new job They increase. As Beatriz Gómez, a specialist in Human Resources, in a hung video In your Tiktok profileMarch is the more conducive month to find a job due to the specific situation in the internal processes of companies. Choose the perfect moment According to HR expert, the month of March is the key moment for those who wish to find a new job. This is because, after Christmas holidays, companies spend the months of January and February in internal organization processes and Fiscal year closure. During those first months of the year, companies approve the annual budgets they have been preparing during the final months of the year. In these budgets the growth strategies of the companies are established, so Green light is given to new vacancies to cover the expansion objectives of the selected departments. Similarly, during the first weeks of the year, companies close their budgets for new projects and orders, so it is more likely to open new personnel selection processes for cover employment vacancies and reinforce the template during these first months of the year. Review templates Gómez points out that, in addition, between January and February the Performance assessments of all its employees. That leaves the door open to new additions to replace those employees who have not met the marked objectives. On the other hand, many employees decide take the new year To start a new stage in your work career, so the Hiring activity intensifies during the first quarter of the year. In parallel to the performance assessments of the entire template, the salary increaseswhich are one of the main reasons for job dissatisfaction. “A lot of talent does not agree with that increase and end up leaving,” the number of vacancies increasing during this period. This hiring pattern at the beginning of the year is not something new, but It is repeated cyclically every year. Gómez explains that fluctuations in work teams and in the need for personnel are part of the natural flow of companies. The data is right This “sweet point” for job search has its reflection in the official employment data that the INE collects in the Active Population Survey. Leaving aside the annual trends, there is a constant that is repeated year after year: the employment figures recorded during the first quarter of the year are always better than those of the fourth quarter of the previous year and, in many cases, than those of the second quarter of the same year. Unfortunately, You can’t always choose When to look for a new jobbut if you have been active job search for a few months, March can be a very conducive month to find the job opportunity you were waiting for, given the “need for new additions and job opportunities,” Gomez said in his video.

has 128 more than we thought

by

Saturn did not need more moons to be a photogenic planet, but I had them. The latest observations have raised the official count of Saturn’s satellites to 274: almost double that all other combined planets. Jupiter has been left behind. In early 2023, Saturn snatched Jupiter The title of “Planet with more moons” when the discovery of 62 new Saturnian satellites for a total of 145. Astronomers have already suspected that they were still satellites faint satellites orbiting Saturn. There were indications in the observations of the ringed planet that were made with the Canada-France-Hawaii (CFHT) telescope between 2019 and 2021. The challenge: Carefully link each point of light (the potential moons) with different shots to confirm that it was the same object with a stable orbit. 128 new moons. Throughout 2023, a team led by the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the Sinica Academy, in Taiwan, continued the work of monitoring and analysis of those signals with additional observations. The team gathered sufficient evidence to Design 128 new moonsthat the International Astronomical Union has officially recognized this week, increasing the total of Saturnian satellites to 274. Irregular moons. The 128 newly discovered satellites They are classified as irregular moons: Potato -shaped moons of just a few kilometers in diameter that have retrograde orbits (they revolve around Saturn in the opposite direction to their rotation). They differ from regular moons (such as titan or encumbered) in which they orbit much larger distances, following very inclined or elliptical trajectories, so that the majority were “captured” gravitationally by Saturn instead of having formed on the original protoplanetary disc. The challenge of name. At the moment, the 128 new moons are identified with provisional denominations of letters and numbers (S/2020 S1, S/2019 S14, etc.). Like all Saturn’s moons, They will receive names that come from gallic, Nordic or Inuit mythology. In general, they will be classified according to their orbital characteristics and their possible common origin. The NORSE group has several subgroups: Phoebe (close to the moon pHOEBE, so they could have emerged from clashes capable of fragmenting it), Mundilfari (from recent collisions) or Kari (from multiple catches or fractures). And so, successively. How many have to discover? Despite the advances in telescopes and image analysis techniques, it seems that we have reached the limit of what we can detect in the vicinity of Saturn, at least systematically with current technology. There is evidence that there could be even smaller objects, but the instrumental limitations added to the light dispersed by the planet, the earth’s atmosphere and the sensitivity of the telescopes make it difficult to see much further.

The price of oil faces a perfect storm and an unexpected country has been placed in the center: Kazakhstan

by

The oil market is experiencing one of Your most unstable stagesfrom internal disputes within the OPEC+ to the production policies of great powers outside the organization. In this scenario, the role of Kazakhstan has gained great relevance, but the real danger can be what is to come if it is combined with the focus of other international actors, such as the United States. Overproduction. A month ago, Kazakhstan was news because had to accelerate its nuclear development to address your growing shortage of energy., Approveing ​​your first nuclear power plant. Now, this country that had always maintained a low profile in oil matters It has been increasing Production in recent weeks, overcoming what is estimated by OPEC+. According to A recent reportKazakhstan produced 1,767 million barrels per day (BPD) in February, a notable increase compared to 1,570 million BPD in January, and well above its quota in the organization, which It is set at 1,468 million BPD. The problems multiply. In the Tengiz deposit, operated in collaboration with Chevron, it has exceeded expectations being the largest within the OPEC+. This situation has caused a challenge in the goals of the oil organization to maintain a balance in production. In an attempt to stabilize prices, the oil organization had decided to increase gradually production after years of cuts to boost crude oil prices. However, with the price of oil collapsing, it is in need of reviewing its strategy. Russia’s threat to reverse the decision to increase production and internal disagreements about production quotas are complicating the situation even more. The imminent crisis. The price of crude has suffered a strong collapse in recent weeks, with a fall of more than 13% from the peaks reached in January. While this decrease It can be attributed to factors As the excess supply in America and a weaker demand, the Kazakhstan factor is acting as a catalyst that could deepen the crisis. Its excessive production could be an important factor for OPEC+ to not sustain its agreements and face a review of its strategy. Without significant correction, the market could face an even deeper price crisis. United States following closely. With Trump’s arrival, oil has resurfaced again in the United States. The current president has promoted a large -scale oil production policy, his famous: “Drill, Baby, Drill”. In this operation to continue producing to keep prices below $ 60 a barrel, experts They have pointed out That Trump has intensifying competition in a saturated market, affecting all crude -dependent economies. The worst is yet to come. The growing production of Kazakhstan and the United States is creating An uncertain panorama For the oil market. If the supply continues as the demand does not grow to the expected rhythm, the crude oil prices They could collapse even more, affecting both producers and oil -dependent economies. The point will be if the OPEC+ can balance these external pressures or if the market will be dragged into a price crisis.

It is more expensive to buy it second -hand than order it and sign up for the waiting list

by

He Xiaomi Su7 Ultra The Chinese electric car market has placed up legs. It has double merit if we take into account that we are talking about the country where the competition for the electric car is the fiercest and because we talk about a company that launched its first electric car just over a year ago. But the arrival of the Sporting version of the Electric Berlina cHina has burst any type of expectation. Its price and benefits (it is sold by a fraction of what a Porsche Taycan is worth but, on paper, it offers better data) have made the reserves jump through the air. The company said they expected to sell about 10,000 units this year of the most sporty electric model. In 10 minutes they had added 7,000 reservations of the car. In two hours they had covered the quota of reservations. Now, speculators want to make their August with the new Deportivo. Skipping the waiting list The information brings it Carnewschina. The portal specialized in news about the Chinese car market explains that the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra can already be found in second -hand pages for prices ranging from 548,900 to 648,800 yuan (69,322 to 81,939 euros). Is it a lot? Very much, in fact. The car has been released by 529,900 yuan (66,935 euros) in its most basic version but there are ads that place the price some 15,000 euros above. That is, there are units that are sold to 122% of their departure price.
