More →Valero Energy reports record quarterly profit amid supply disruptions.
Valero Energy, a refiner, kicked off the U.S. refining earnings season by reporting the highest quarterly profit in its history, beating Wall Street expectations. This was mainly driven by fuel supply disruptions caused by the wars in Iran and Ukraine, which pushed up profit margins in the third quarter. Diesel prices used in manufacturing and agriculture have hit record highs, and gasoline prices remain elevated, putting pressure on consumers and Trump's Republican Party, especially as the midterm elections approach. Valero said its refining margin per barrel processed nearly tripled to $39.24 in the quarter, and adjusted operating profit from its refining business surged more than 400% year over year to $8.8 billion.

Coinbase fined $3.6 million in Ireland over fund protection issues
Coinbase's Irish branch has been fined approximately $3.6 million by the Central Bank of Ireland for failing to properly safeguard customer funds. This is the second enforcement action by the regulator against the exchange's European operations in less than a year. The regulator said Coinbase Ireland was fined €3,252,618 for breaching the safeguarding and outsourcing rules under Ireland's electronic money regulations. The fine reflects a 30% discount on a €4,646,597 penalty. The penalty is still subject to confirmation by the Irish High Court before taking effect. The regulator found three major failures in Coinbase's safeguarding of funds: over-reliance on its U.S. parent company to handle safeguarding processes under Irish and EU rules, a lack of sufficient local expertise to oversee the safeguarding of customer funds, and chronic underfunding of its designated safeguarding accounts. The regulator also noted problems with the company's internal controls and a failure to report material safeguarding changes to the regulator. Coinbase Ireland acknowledged the violations.

Iran: There is no so-called "Iran conflict"; this is a war of aggression launched by the US and Israel against Iran.
BiJie Network news, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei: "Let us not cover up the truth with misleading euphemisms. There is no so-called 'Iran conflict' at all; this is an illegal war of aggression launched by the United States and Israel against Iran." He said: "Refusing to call aggression aggression is not neutrality, but moral evasion. If we do not even have the courage to identify the aggressor and clearly point out the act of aggression, how can we claim to have the courage to face injustice, propose feasible solutions, or make substantive contributions to peace?" Baghaei stressed: "Peace cannot be achieved by appeasing aggressors, justifying aggression, condemning the victims, or sacrificing fundamental principles."
