Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was severely damaged after a drone attack, and most of its capacity is expected to take three to five weeks to recover. According to Sina Finance, repairs may allow partial operations during that period, but it is still unclear how much crude can be transported, and the Saudi government and Saudi Aramco have not confirmed a specific restart time. Two regional officials familiar with the repair assessment said the damage involved a major pumping station, while some damaged equipment may take longer to restore. The attack took place on September 10 and involved several pipeline facilities in the Riyadh and Medina regions, causing injuries. Saudi Arabia said the drones were launched from Iraq, and at the request of Iraq's prime minister, it has not taken retaliatory action for now. Rystad Energy estimated that the pipeline has been carrying about 2.6 million to 4 million barrels of crude per day since late August. The pipeline links Saudi Arabia's eastern oil fields with the Red Sea port of Yanbu and has a maximum design capacity of 7 million barrels per day. Brent crude rose more than 2% on Monday and traded near $109 a barrel as supply concerns increased.

Base Power, founded by Michael Dell's son Zach Dell, is building a distributed power network by installing thousands of battery systems in U.S. homes to meet surging AI-driven electricity demand. According to Sina Finance, the company recently completed a $1 billion funding round and was valued at $13 billion. Base Power operates as a retail electricity supplier in deregulated markets such as Texas and as a supplier to utilities in regulated markets, using batteries to help stabilize the grid. It charges households up to $650 to install a 39.2-kWh battery system and collects a monthly fee like a traditional retail power provider. The company said it has deployed about 25,000 battery systems and has partnerships with utilities in Texas and Illinois. Its Austin battery factory has an annual capacity of 3 GWh, produces 300 battery systems per shift, and the company plans to open a new factory in the Austin suburbs later this year. Zach Dell said his goal is to become one of the world's largest and fastest-growing power developers. He said the world's largest company in 10 years will likely be a power company, and Base Power is preparing to become that company. Dell and mechanical engineer Justin Lopas, who previously held manufacturing leadership roles at SpaceX and Anduril Industries, co-founded the company in 2023. Lopas said the company is focused on expansion for now and has not set a profit target. Base Power is also benefiting from the boom in data center construction, while Dell Technologies expects AI server sales to reach $60 billion in the fiscal year ending January 2027.

South Korea's KOSPI fell 0.9% to 6,627.26 on September 15, 2026, marking a fourth straight decline. According to Sina Finance, the move was driven by global macroeconomic volatility, a reassessment of AI capital spending by major technology companies, and profit-taking in earlier leading sectors. Technology shares remained the main drag on the market, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both sold off to varying degrees. According to Sina Finance, foreign investors were net sellers for the past four trading days, weighing on the index's rebound momentum. Shipbuilding stocks also pulled back after strong gains in recent months. According to Sina Finance, the sector had benefited from rising international orders and higher shipping demand tied to geopolitical tensions, but recent gains in international oil prices and growing uncertainty over global trade prospects prompted profit-taking.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco developed a new brain-computer interface system that, for the first time, simultaneously decoded speech and related body movements from a single brain implant and drove a digital avatar to express them. According to Sina Finance, the study was published on September 14 in Nature Neuroscience. Samantha Brossler, the paper's first author, said the research aims to move brain-computer interfaces from restoring a single function at a time toward restoring multiple communication and movement modes through one brain interface. She said gestures can add meaning, emphasis, emotion, and context, and in some cases can fully replace speech, such as nodding to agree, shaking the head to refuse, waving, shrugging, or giving a thumbs-up. The proof-of-concept study used 10 and 4 communication gestures, respectively, in two participants. The system used machine learning to accurately decode words and gestures from both participants' thoughts. The research team next aims to expand the method to a larger vocabulary and a wider range of continuous body movements. Effective communication prosthetics could help millions of patients who retain intact or near-intact cognition but have lost speech because of stroke, neurodegenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and other brain disorders. In the long term, scientists hope the technology could also help people with cerebral palsy and autism who have difficulty speaking. The field has drawn growing research attention and investment, with active companies including Elon Musk's Neuralink and Precision Neuroscience.
