Crude Prices Tank Despite OPEC+ Supply Cuts; Brazil to Join OPEC+
- Virtual OPEC+ meeting was held on 30th November after being delayed by five days. Outcome was an increase and extension of supply cuts till Q1 2024.
- WTI rallied 2.5% heading into the meeting but fell 4% shortly after due to scepticism over members following through on cuts and short-term nature of agreement.
- OPEC+ announced that Brazil would join the coalition in early 2024. A move that unites most top crude oil producers in the cartel with major geopolitical ramifications.
Elon Musk’s “Global Sewer” May Derail Bankers’ Trying To Finally Dump Toxic Twitter LBO Debt
- I warned Elon Musk wouldn’t help his beleaguered banks via refi of billions in losing LBO debt they foolishly fronted him to buy Twitter.
- He can’t even stop setting it and himself on fire every day.
- Now he admits Twitter is being killed by the advertiser boycott he again caused—but takes no responsibility for his incendiary actions.
Immix Biopharma – KOL event: Glimmer of hope for ALA patients
Immix hosted a key opinion leader (KOL) event highlighting the long-term potential for NXC-201, the company’s B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) targeting CAR-T therapy to address the fragile amyloid light chain amyloidosis (ALA) patient population. This is the only CAR-T therapy in development for the treatment of relapsed/refractory ALA to our knowledge and represents a significant unmet medical need as there are only limited treatment options and no standard of care. Relapse remains a common issue and, although still in the very early stages, the KOLs had optimism in the positive response rates shown thus far in the NEXICART-1 study. We anticipate rolling readouts for the NXC-201 ALA studies (particularly NEXICART-2) as the data become available.
