On September 14, the Associated Press reported that, according to two regional officials, a key Saudi oil pipeline that was attacked last week will be mostly shut down for several weeks during repairs of the damaged sections. The East-West Pipeline, which runs across Saudi Arabia, is a crucial part of the country's oil export strategy aimed at redirecting oil exports to the Red Sea to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, where attacks by Iran have severely disrupted shipping. This 1,200-kilometer pipeline has a maximum daily throughput of 7 million barrels. According to informed officials, repairs could take three to five weeks, including maintenance on major pumping stations. One official stated that the pipeline may still operate partially during the repair team's work.

On September 14, the polarized economy and the artificial intelligence (AI) bubble are sowing the seeds for the next economic collapse. This warning comes from Danish economist Henrik Zeberg, who believes that the US economy and stock market will experience a rollercoaster of volatility in the future. He predicts that the stock market will face a significant 'top crash' before the end of the year, with stock prices plummeting from high levels and the economy entering a recession. In a recent interview, he stated that if events unfold as his model predicts, the Nasdaq 100 index could soar to 39,000 points by the end of 2026, an increase of about 33%, before crashing back down to around 10,600 points, which is the low point of 2022. 'I think we will see a scenario similar to that of 2000,' said the macro strategist from investment firm Swissblock, speculating that the market crash could trigger broader crises in the financial system, such as in the banking and private credit sectors. 'I believe the consequences of the AI bubble bursting will be quite severe,' he added.
