Oil jumps after US strikes on Iran threaten fragile Middle East truce

Oil prices rose on Wednesday after the US launched new strikes on Iran in retaliation for attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The military escalation threatens a fragile regional ceasefire and raises fears of supply disruptions from a critical oil-producing area. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil transit routes.

Will US strikes on Iran trigger an oil supply crisis?

Spacecraft flies past snowman-shaped asteroid

A space probe flew very close past an asteroid that resembles a snowman, formed by two rounded bodies joined together. The flyby was conducted at close range as part of ongoing research into small Solar System bodies. The unusual double-lobed shape makes this asteroid a striking subject for planetary scientists.

Poland registers record 312,000 new cars in H1 2026, but figure is artificially inflated

Poland registered over 312,000 new passenger cars in the first half of 2026, a record figure according to the Polish Automotive Industry Association. However, June's surge was artificially inflated by an unusual wave of registrations of final production batches ahead of regulatory changes introduced in July. Industry observers warn the result does not reflect genuine consumer demand.

Can Poland's car registration record be considered a genuine industry success?

OpenUSD: 140+ firms unite to build a shared stablecoin standard

More than 140 financial entities — including banks, card networks and payment aggregators — have joined forces to develop OpenUSD, a shared stablecoin standard. The initiative is a response to growing market fragmentation, where major institutions each attempt to launch their own digital currency. The project's backers argue that a landscape of dozens of competing stablecoins is unsustainable.

Does OpenUSD have a real chance of replacing individual bank stablecoin projects?
