According to the article from NPR, here are 5 things to watch out :
1. Demand for oil prices is rising.
2. But oil producers produced less. Oil Supply and Demand imbalances
3. The OPEC+ countries monthly meetings. Impasse.
4. What this meant for public? Two opposites reactions. The drama among OPEC+ continues.
5. Pressure for compromise. A price spike would harm the world's oil consumers like us.
Keep watching.

Excerpt on Ibn Al-Haytham, the first Scientist from Prof. Asad Zaman Blog:
"Mathematics, especially the geometry of Euclid, was the first discipline of knowledge established by Greek Philosophers. This was based on taking intuitive certainties as axioms, and then deducing more complex truths by using logical deductions. This is called the axiomatic-deductive methodology. When the Greeks turned to the natural sciences, they attempted to use the same methodology. Unfortunately, this methodology does not work well in this case. For centuries, philosophers were divided on the issue of whether light emanates from eyes to strike the object, or whether light comes from the object to the eye. There were axiomatic-deductive demonstrations for both positions. Ibnul Haytham was the first to use empirical methods to resolve this controversy, laying the basis for the scientific method. It is worth discussing his contribution in detail, because the concept of a “MODEL” emerges from his study. This concept is central to understanding the problems with current foundations of the social sciences. See “Models & Reality” for further discussion on this point."
While doing an article review, I re-read the definition of white-noise in regression analysis. Come across another types of noise - brown noise and pink noise. Very interesting indeed.

Excerpt from the recent article in the IMF Blog:
"Poorer nations are facing a devastating double-blow: they are at risk of losing the race against the virus; and they could lose the opportunity to join a historic transformation to a new global economy built on green and digital foundations."
