Title: Ranking of Most Beloved Chinese Dramas by Koreans: 'Empresses in the Palace' Reigns SupremeTrump offers a public show of support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled nominee to lead the PentagonOn October 14, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed bill Abx2-1 into law, empowering California regulators to set and adjust minimum petroleum product inventory levels for refiners in the state, in part to address the state’s fuel price volatility. Shortly after, refiner Phillips 66 announced plans to close its Wilmington refinery in Los Angeles by the end of 2025, citing uncertainty surrounding the long-term sustainability of the refinery. The new law empowers the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop and impose minimum storage level requirements for refined transportation fuels for each refiner in the state. The law allows regulators to adjust minimum storage volumes based on regional and seasonal market conditions, refinery size, and storage capacity. It also empowers the CEC to consider the use of a tradable mechanism for compliance with the minimum inventory law, which the state has used in the past for programs such as its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The bill is intended to prevent wide swings in the gasoline price. California retail gasoline prices are consistently among the highest in the country and regularly exceed the U.S. average price by more than $1 per gallon. While multiple factors contribute to higher retail gasoline prices in California, including higher crude oil costs and higher refining costs on the West Coast, the region has also historically maintained lower inventory levels relative to the rest of the country. Market participants often use inventories to assess the availability of petroleum products. If inventories drop too low, retailers can struggle to secure the product they need, which increases prices as product becomes scarce. After removing pipeline volumes from total inventories, gasoline inventories in California have been consistently lower than the U.S. average on a days-of-supply basis. Days of supply is a measure of inventory relative to demand and is taken by dividing stock levels (in barrels) by consumption (in barrels per day). California’s inventory has averaged just over 20 days of supply over the last five years (2019–23), compared with the U.S. average of 21.6 days. Shortly after the new California legislation was signed into law, refiner Phillips 66 announced on October 16 that it plans to stop refining operations at its 139,000-b/d Wilmington refinery in Los Angeles during the fourth quarter of 2025. In the announcement, Phillips 66 indicated it will continue to pursue other uses for the facility, which may include continuing to import fuels through its existing petroleum infrastructure. On October 29, Phillips 66’s Chief Executive Officer said the company’s decision to shut down its Los Angeles refinery in 2025 was not an immediate response to any policy changes in California but rather due to its expectation that refining business in the state would become increasingly challenging. Earlier this year, Phillips 66 completed the transition of its Rodeo refinery near San Francisco into a renewable diesel production facility that no longer processes crude oil. With the end of operations at its Wilmington plant, the company will officially stop all crude oil refining operations in the state. The Wilmington refinery accounts for less than 1% of U.S. refining capacity, about 5% of West Coast refining capacity, and about 8% of the refining capacity in the state of California, according to our Refinery Capacity Report. The West Coast possesses relatively less pipeline capacity and other infrastructure to transfer petroleum products between refining centers from elsewhere in the United States, such as the U.S. Gulf Coast. As a result, the lost petroleum product supply from the Wilmington refinery will likely need to be met through higher utilization of other California refineries and increased imports of products such as gasoline. Weak refinery margins have persisted on the West Coast and in the United States overall since the middle of this year. In May 2024, the crack spread for Los Angeles CARBOB (California Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending)—an indicator of the profitability of refining gasoline from crude oil—dropped to 50 cents per gallon, about half of what it was the previous May. The Los Angeles spread hasn’t been below 50 cents per gallon on average in the month of May since 2019. Lower crack spreads in the second half of 2024 have been an issue for all U.S. refiners, not only those on the West Coast. The narrower spreads partly reflect global market conditions including more international refining capacity and weaker demand compared with the higher margin environment in 2022 and 2023. Refinery crack spreads on the West Coast are typically higher than they are in other parts of the country, in part because of tighter supply-demand balances in the region, reflected by the lower average days of supply. Refiners in California must comply with the state’s Cap-and-Trade program, which requires them to bid for emissions allowances, as well as the state’s LCFS, which requires refiners (and importers or wholesalers) to buy carbon credits according to the volume of carbon-emitting fuels (such as gasoline and petroleum diesel) that they supply to the market. The costs of compliance with these measures are partly reflected in the wider wholesale crack spreads. As a result, higher crack spreads alone may not necessarily indicate higher net profits for refiners in the state, although they do indicate relatively higher prices for gasoline overall. The West Coast also tends to have higher refiner acquisition costs for crude oil because crude oil production is limited in the region and routes to import crude oil are often longer. The higher acquisition costs do not directly affect the crack spread for gasoline, but they do contribute to higher overall fuel prices. Despite the growing share of electric vehicles in California, the state remains a major destination for consumption of gasoline, ranking as the second-largest source of consumption of the fuel among the 50 states. However, regional refiners have struggled with the relative profitability of producing distillate fuel oil and jet fuel, some volume of which must also be produced with each barrel of crude oil refined to make gasoline. The increased penetration of renewable diesel into California’s diesel market reduces demand for petroleum diesel in the region, presenting additional headwinds to overall profitability for refiners in the state. The disconnect in gasoline and diesel prices suggests that gasoline imports are likely to grow in importance as a source of future supply for the state. Unlike increasing in-state refinery production, importers can import gasoline when they expect it will be in demand without producing surplus volumes of other fuels with lower margins. However, importers face longer shipping times between when an order is placed from abroad and when a cargo of gasoline or another fuel ultimately arrives in the state. Importers must also locate foreign refiners capable of meeting the specifications on California’s unique gasoline formulation, CARBOB. Source: EIA

Suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggles, shouts while entering courthouseNow could be the time for investors to snap up ( ) shares. That's the view of analysts at Bell Potter, which have just upgraded the beaten down miner's shares to a buy rating. What is the broker saying about Pilbara Minerals shares? With in the lithium miner falling and the broker expecting a lithium deficit in 2026, its analysts feel that now is an opportune time to load up on the company's shares. Especially as they are down heavily in recent weeks. Commenting on its change of rating, the broker said: We upgrade our PLS recommendation to Buy (from Hold) on recent share price weakness. The short position in PLS has fallen substantially in recent weeks, now 12% compared with ~20% since November 2023. The falling short position was associated with a quarterly rebalance seeing PLS drop out of the MSCI Australia index. Counter to PLS' weak share price, lithium markets have stabilised and commodity prices marginally improved. We calculate that recent supply curtailments from Australian producers (including PLS) have removed around 50kt of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent from the market (around 4% of 2024 supply). On our supply-demand modelling, the cuts result in a smaller market surplus in 2025 and brings forward our estimate of a market deficit to 2026 (previously 2027). It also notes that with such a strong balance sheet, Pilbara Minerals is well-placed to take advantage of any market deficit if and when it happens. It adds: PLS' robust balance sheet ($1.4b cash at 30 Sep 2024) continues to fund expansion initiatives, readying the company to capitalise on our forecast improvements in lithium prices. Big potential returns According to the note, the broker has upgraded Pilbara Minerals shares to a buy rating with a $2.95 price target. Based on its current share price of $2.29, this implies potential upside of 29% for investors over the next 12 months. If this proves accurate, it would turn a $5,000 investment into approximately $6,450 by this time next year. Commenting on its buy recommendation, the broker concludes: PLS operates a low-cost asset in a tier one jurisdiction, is diversifying through the lithium value chain, and provides a clean exposure to global lithium fundamentals and sentiment. While we expect lithium prices to remain volatile, we hold a robust EVdemand driven long-term market outlook. We believe higher prices are required to incentivise new sources of supply to moderate our forecast shortfalls from 2026.
Greenwood's rapid rise to prominence in the French league has not gone unnoticed, with fans and pundits alike singing his praises. Many have compared him to Ibrahimovic and Neymar, two of the most talented and successful strikers of their generation. Like them, Greenwood has shown a natural ability to score goals and create opportunities for his teammates, making him a valuable asset to his team.Ayew's success rate of 21.6% may seem modest compared to some of the top dribblers in the league, but what sets him apart is his consistency. Ayew has attempted at least 30 dribbles this season, making him one of the most active players in the league when it comes to taking on defenders.1 2 3 Nagpur: The Mahayuti wave also took a toll on firebrand leader and four-time MLA from Achalpur in Amravati district, Bachchu Kadu, who heads the Prahar Jan Shakti Party. Kadu is known for his aggressive style and has made headlines for protests climbing atop water tanks. He lost to BJP's Pravin Tayade by a margin of 12,000 votes. Kadu, who often took up farmers' issues , was part of the Parivartan Mahashakti, an alliance of 35 splinter parties which projected itself as the third front. Even as Kadu could not be contacted, other leaders in the alliance accepted that they were overwhelmed by the Ladki Bahin impact. In Vidarbha, Parivartan Mahashakti contested 12 seats. The alliance was led by Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje's Maharashtra Surajya Paksha, Raju Shetti's Swabhimani Paksha and Kadu's Prahar Janshakti. The leaders said the third front would take up more realistic issues like the falling soybean prices, agrarian crisis, unemployment, and price rise during the elections. Sources said a strong anti-incumbency factor worked against Kadu. Wamanrao Chatap, who contested from Rajura in Chandrapur, said it has to be accepted that the Ladki Bahin scheme was the game changer in the elections. "It's the question of people's choice. Perhaps they were swayed because of the dole," he said. Maharashtra Jharkhand Maharashtra Alliance View i Party View Seats: 288 Results Majority: 145 BJP+ 229 MVA 47 OTH 12 Results : 288 / 288 BJP+ WON Jharkhand Alliance View i Party View Seats: 81 Results Majority: 41 INDIA 56 NDA 24 OTH 1 Results : 81 / 81 INDIA WON Source: PValue Shetti also expressed disappointment, saying that none of the issues taken up by his party appealed to the voters. Chatap, a former MLA who contested from Swatantra Bharat Paksha, lost to BJP's Deorao Bhongle, making it to the third slot. In Shetti's domain, Hatkanangale, however, a lesser-known party, Jan Surajya Shakti's candidate Ashok Mane won, defeating Congress' Raju Awale. Swabhiman Paksha's Sujit Minchekar was at the third spot. At Akot in Akola district, Lalit Bahale, a farm activist of Swatantra Bharat Paksha, garnered less than 6,000 votes. The seat went to BJP. This is the political arm of the farmers' outfit Shetkari Sangathana. Anil Ghanawar, the president of Shetkari Sangathana, blamed Kadu and Raje for the debacle, saying that the two controlled the seat allotment and sidelined others. Chatap, however, countered that it was done with full consensus. (With inputs from Sumit Kulkarni)
