The financial technology companies supported by Wal-Mart are valued at $2.5 billion. The traditional banking industry is under threat. Wal-Mart is injecting more funds into its newly-started financial start-ups, obtaining a valuation of $2.5 billion for this company, and indicating its ambition to further set foot in the financial services industry. According to informed sources, the world's largest retailer is jointly leading the financing of more than 300 million US dollars with investment company Ribbit Capital. This marks a new valuation for the company named One, in which Wal-Mart holds a majority stake. Wal-Mart has been providing products to many customers and employees in order to gain a greater foothold in the field of financial services.

Just last year, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon mentioned the competitive threat of Wal-Mart and other enterprises, pointing out that its hundreds of millions of customers and huge resources at its disposal were "extraordinary competitive advantages".Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA): Geothermal energy is suitable for providing a large amount of stable energy for data centers. The IEA said on Friday that shale drilling technology, which has led to a sharp increase in oil and gas production, has also stimulated the development of geothermal energy. In theory, geothermal energy can provide a stable power source equivalent to the total demand of India and the United States. Fatih Birol, director of the International Energy Agency, said after the agency released its first report on geothermal energy that geothermal energy is suitable for providing a large amount of stable energy for data centers. Birol said: "One of the demands for geothermal energy is the demand for electricity in data centers. The demand for data centers in the United States is great, and they need all-weather electricity, which makes geothermal very suitable. " Birol said that unlike renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy, geothermal energy can be a sustainable energy source, but it is still in its infancy and needs a lot of investment and support from the government. The incoming Trump administration said it would promote more oil and gas drilling and hoped to reduce the green energy plan, but Birol saw no reason not to increase the use of geothermal energy. According to the data of the International Energy Agency, by 2050, the global geothermal heating may increase to 800 GW, accounting for 15% of the global demand growth, and the annual output is equivalent to the current total demand of the United States and India. According to the report of the International Energy Agency, global investment will exceed $1 trillion by 2035 and $2.8 trillion by 2050, of which about 75% will be invested in power generation facilities.Barclays: Raise the target price of Standard Chartered from 940p to 970p.
