國際能源署署長比羅爾：在我們宣佈將在未來數日、數週內釋放石油和柴油儲備進入市場後，油價至少下跌了5美元。

路透調查顯示，66位受訪外匯策略師中有52位認爲，美元在年末交易時更有可能強於預期。

Data‑centre operator Firmus Grid is targeting an IPO that would raise A$5.0bn at A$11 per share and value the company at A$43.7bn (~US$30.3bn), the Australian Financial Review reports. Underwriters say they have received indications sufficient to cover A$5.0bn at A$11 and the deal may be upsized by a further A$500m. The ASX listing is set for Oct. 23; the institutional bookbuild opens Tuesday and closes Friday. The float would be among Australia’s largest IPOs, comparable to Medibank’s 2014 raise, and comes as YTD primary-market fundraising in Australia is roughly A$1bn versus >A$2bn in each of the past two years.
