Musk is expected to be sold for less than US$20,000 and plans to be mass-produced in three years and commercially available in five years. In addition, Tesla also said it plans to build its first complete supercomputer Dojo cluster by 2023.

"North Stream" 1 and "North Stream" 2 exploded this week and four natural gas leaks were discovered one after another, which undoubtedly "added insult to injury" to the European energy crisis. Many countries believe this is a "deliberate destruction", and the investigation report said the accident was caused by an underwater explosion equivalent to hundreds of kilograms of explosives. So who is the murderer behind the scenes?

Following Japan and South Korea, the Bank of England has taken action to interfere in the financial market this week. Currently, S&P has downgraded the UK rating outlook from "stable" to "negative". Is the tax cuts in Tras useful? What are the challenges of the UK economy? Let’s look at the dialogue between Anna Stupnytska, head of global macro and investment strategy at Fidelity International and macroeconomics.

In terms of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the referendum on entry into Russia including Donetsk in Ukraine officially ended and the signing of the treaty on entry into Russia was completed on September 30. The Russian army retreated from Hongliman, and Putin and , planned to recruit 120,000 troops.

In addition, the 2022 Nobel Prize timetable was released; the first generation of magic machine iPhone 6 officially retired; the US hurricane "Ian" continues to rage, which may cause losses of 60 billion to 70 billion US dollars; the semiconductor industry is "cold"; this week, Germany's largest IPO Porsche in 25 years was launched; Buffett once again increased its holdings in Occupy Oil; the US monkeypox confirmed cases exceeded 25,800, ranking first in the world.

Although it has been less than a month since taking office, the new British Prime Minister Tras seems to have lost the support of most British people.

On Friday (September 30), a poll released by the British Observation Survey Company (YouGov) showed that more than half of the British people believe that Tras should resign from the position of British Prime Minister , which is only 25 days after she officially took office at the beginning of the month.

This may be related to the new British Prime Minister Trass government’s tax cuts collapsed, causing the Bank of England to even need to take action to save the market.

Previously, the UK had started a tightening cycle to raise policy interest rates to 2.25%, and announced the most aggressive tax cut since 1972 on September 23. rate hike combined with radical fiscal plan, and under the increasingly strong external environment of the US dollar, the UK financial market encountered a "stock, bond and foreign exchange" triple kill on the 23rd. British bond yields rose sharply for each period, and the pound broke multiple marks against the US dollar, continuing to hit a new 37-year low. In the long run, the pound has fallen by more than 20% against the US dollar since the beginning of the year.

S&P has downgraded the UK rating outlook from "stable" to "negative" . S&P said that after the UK announced its tax cuts, the UK's fiscal deficit will increase and the risk of fiscal imbalances will increase.

In this regard, Anna Stupnytska, global macroeconomics director and macroeconomicist at Fidelity International, told the reporter of " Daily Economic News " that in addition, Tras's tax cut policy lacks details of the source of funds. 's "no source of funds" rapid tax cuts to treat symptoms but not the root cause. What the government needs to do is structural reform and structural policies. "Unlimited bond purchases" This attempt to stabilize the market will not stop the pound from falling, but Bank of England raises interest rates will help.

"The main challenge facing the British economy in the short term is still the inflation problem . In the medium term, including the Northern Ireland protocol, which has not been resolved. will directly affect the international trade balance, Anna Staniska added.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday local time, two natural gas pipelines in the Nord Stream exploded in the waters of Sweden and Danish . discovered four natural gas leak points in in a row, attracting global attention.

According to Associated Press 28, this accident may become the largest methane leak to date.

According to CCTV News, on Thursday local time, Swedish TV reported that must be investigated immediately after the pipe is empty, which may take several weeks. It is still impossible to answer the severity of the damage and whether it can be repaired. I hope the investigation will begin on October 2 or 3.

According to media reports, the damaged areas of the pipeline are located "70-90 meters below sea level", so someone needs to go deep into the water to find them. The walls of the pipe itself are 4.1 cm (1.6 inches) long and covered with reinforced concrete up to 11 cm thick. Each section of the pipe weighs 11 tons. After pouring concrete, it will reach 24-25 tons, so it is unlikely to break unexpectedly.

According to AFP , a report released by Denmark and Sweden on September 30 said that four leaks affecting the Baltic "Northern Stream" natural gas pipeline were caused by an underwater explosion of equivalent to hundreds of kilograms of explosives. The report said that in a joint report submitted to UN Security Council , the two countries said: "The intensity of the explosion is 2.3 and 2.1 respectively, which is likely to be equivalent to hundreds of kilograms of explosives." The two countries said: "All the existing information shows that these explosions are the result of deliberate actions ."

However, since both Washington and Moscow deny being responsible, the cause of the explosion remains a mystery.

In addition, the Minister of Defense of Sweden, Denmark, Norwegian , Finland and Iceland said in a joint statement on September 30: "This cannot be ruled out that this is a reckless attack on European energy infrastructure and an attempt to undermine the originally tense security situation." Denmark and Sweden also said in a report to the UN Security Council: "The possible impact of the leakage on Baltic marine life is worrying, and the climate effect is likely to be very serious."
