Storm Daniel in Libya left more than 5k dead, 10k missing: <\/strong>More than 5k people have died and at least 10k are missing after Storm Daniel unleashed massive flooding across Libya this week. The eastern coastal city of Derna was especially hard hit, with officials estimating that a quarter of the city was completely wiped out after the storm caused dams above the town to burst and sweep away tens of buildings. At least 145 Egyptians<\/a> have died in the floods.<\/p>\n

Mourning in Egypt + sending relief to Libya: <\/strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi yesterday declared<\/a> three days of national mourning in solidarity with the victims of the floods in Libya and the earthquake in Morocco. Three military planes carrying humanitarian aid landed<\/a> in Libya<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

The story is getting coverage on the global front pages this morning: <\/strong>Associated Press<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

THE DL ON APPLE\u2019S NEW GADGETS- <\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple has unveiled its latest lineup of iPhones<\/strong>, including the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. The devices will be available in most countries starting Friday, 22 September, and will ship with iOS 17<\/a>. The electronics giant also unveiled updated Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra models. Watch the event here (runtime: 1:25:35<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Choose your tiers: <\/strong>The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus<\/a> start at the same prices as last year in most countries, but Apple bumped up the cost to consumers of the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max<\/a>, both of which feature titanium builds, faster USB-C ports than on the base models, and improved cameras. The Pro models also get Apple\u2019s latest A17 Bionic chip, while the base models receive last year\u2019s A16.<\/p>\n

SIGN OF THE TIMES- Apple beat the drum hard on its environmental credentials<\/strong>, including a skit in which an actress playing a deeply skeptical mother nature<\/a>(Oscar winner Octavia Spencer<\/a>) held an annual review with Apple CEO Tim Cook and the company\u2019s head of sustainability<\/a>. Apple\u2019s Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra are its first carbon neutral products<\/strong>, and it has pledged to make everything it sells carbon neutral by 2030.<\/p>\n

Get ready to update your phone\u2019s OS soon: <\/strong>Many older devices will get iOS 17 as an update without charge starting next Monday, 18 September.<\/p>\n

The story is getting plenty of international coverage: <\/strong>Associated Press<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Techtember continues: <\/strong>Fujifilm<\/a><\/strong> released a new medium format digital camera yesterday, Microsoft<\/a><\/strong> has an event next week, and Google to take the wraps off its next Pixel<\/a><\/strong> handset on 4 October.<\/p>\n

ENERGY WATCH- <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a> Egypt, Algeria and Libya will be key to Italy\u2019s energy supply in the coming years<\/strong>, Eni\u2019s natural resources chief tells Reuters<\/a>. Eni is looking to replace Russian gas by increasing its imports from Africa, which is leading the company to double down on efforts to increase supplies from North Africa. Algeria has become Italy\u2019s largest supplier of gas since Russia severed flows last year.<\/p>\n

Remember: <\/strong> In a meeting with El Sisi this month, Eni\u2019s CEO said that the company and its partners will invest USD 7.7 bn<\/a> in Egypt over the next four years.<\/p>\n

MARKET WATCH- <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oil markets are bracing for a supply crunch: <\/strong>Global oil markets could face the largest supply shortfall in a decade in 4Q 2023 after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended production cuts<\/a> until the end of the year. OPEC data cited by Bloomberg<\/a> suggests that markets will face a deficit of 3.3 mn barrels a day next quarter as supply tightens.<\/p>\n

The market reacts: <\/strong> Oil prices hit fresh 10-month highs yesterday following the data release, with Brent futures jumping 1.6% to more than USD 92 a barrel and US crude up 1.8%.<\/p>\n

Watch this: <\/strong> A fresh supply shock in the energy markets will complicate the Federal Reserve\u2019s efforts to bring down inflation and trigger fresh uncertainty about where interest rates are headed in the coming weeks and months. US inflation figures for August are out today.<\/p>\n
