@CitiusMag This world record from 1999 July 7

🕰️ World champion Josh Kerr will attempt to break the mile world record of 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999, at the London Diamond League on July 18, 2026. Kerr and his longtime sponsor Brooks are calling their shot publicly, dubbing the attempt “Project 222”—a reference to his goal of running the mile in 222 seconds (3:42). Kerr’s current PB, 3:45.34, is the British national record and slots him No. 6 on the all-time list. Entering the outdoor season, he’s coming off of winning his second World Indoor Championships gold medal in the 3000m, having held off a late charge from 1500m Olympic champion and 5000m World champion Cole Hocker in Toruń, Poland. Books is going all-in for Kerr, with fully personalized race-day support, including: – A custom spike—expected to comply with all World Athletics guidelines—built around Kerr’s biomechanics, featuring advanced cushioning and a tuned carbon plate system – Three aerodynamic speed suit concepts with Kerr as the sole tester – Physiological support from the Brooks Run Research Lab covering sleep, hydration, and recovery 📰 Read more here: citiusmag.com/articles/proje… 🎧 Hear Kerr talk about the attempt in a fresh episode of The CITIS MAG Podcast. ▶️ SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/6HF0NN…

BREAKING: Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis say they will interfere in the war if the Red Sea is used to attack Iran

@EerBeard This is 100 percent truth!!!

Whatever coach wins the national title is the coach Wren should have hired. There.. are we done now?

@Callihan_ Yes, the cut throat world of recruiting is never a dull moment!!!

Rich Rod warns schools against tampering with #WVU’s roster this offseason si.com/college/westvi…

@unusual_whales Yes, that gap up in pre market S&P 500 and gap down in oil was epic!!!

BREAKING: Traders placed roughly $580 million in oil bets just 15 minutes before President Trump posted about a potential Iran peace deal, per FT. The positions, around 6,200 futures contracts, were executed moments before the announcement and aligned with the sharp move lower in oil prices that followed. The trades are estimated to have generated over $100 million in profit within 20 minutes.

@KazooKatherine @unusual_whales 1953 Operation Ajax!!!

@unusual_whales No one knows the truth. I don't think Trump is telling the truth, but someone in Iran may be negotiating an agreement to gain power after this ends, and the current Iran leadership may not know about it.

Iran: "No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped"

Yes, this is new pattern, Friday about 4:00 Eastern Standard Time attack heavily until Saturday evening, Sunday say we are getting closer to the end around when Asia markets open, Monday morning before United States markets open were much closer to the end of the war (spin any good news possible). This makes it hard to short the market going into the weekend.

Oil this morning

@WatcherGuru Elon @elonmusk going full steam ahead like the Jetsons!!! 👀

JUST IN: Elon Musk says SpaceX will build cities on the Moon, Mars and send spaceships to other star systems.

@unusual_whales Oil gap up a Sunday night when Asia markets open.

Trump has said the US will obliterate Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t open in 48 hours

@ByNickFarrell @WVUSports and @hopegas we really badly need to fix the walkway around the coliseum!!! 💙💛🏀⛹️‍♀️

BREAKING: Brent crude oil price up 7%, now trading at $115.

@M_McDonough Looks like WTI Crude appears to be capped from going over $100. Brent moving much higher past few hours than WTI. May 2026 Futures Spread increasing a bit.

🛢️There's a lot being said about oil prices right now, so I put this chart together to help explain the major crude benchmarks and why they're all behaving differently. ⚪Brent (white) — The world's "default" oil price. Most global trade is priced off this. When the news says "oil is at $108," they mean Brent. 🟡WTI (yellow) — The U.S. benchmark, based on crude delivered to Oklahoma. It's the lowest line on the chart because American oil doesn't need to transit the Strait of Hormuz. 🟢Murban (green) — Crude from Abu Dhabi, delivered at Fujairah port, which sits just outside the Strait. Even though it technically doesn't have to pass through the chokepoint, drone strikes have hit Fujairah and nearby ports, pushing insurance and shipping costs up. 🟣Oman (purple) — The key benchmark for heavier crude sold into Asia. Many refineries in China, Japan, and South Korea are built specifically to process this grade. It's the highest line on the chart because Asian buyers are competing fiercely for a shrinking pool of cargoes. 🔴Dubai (red) — Used to price most long-term Gulf→Asia export contracts. It tracks alongside Oman as a measure of how hard Asian markets are being squeezed. The story isn't any single price — it's the gap between them. In late February these five lines were within $6 of each other. Now the spread between WTI and Oman is over $50. Since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Feb 28, the Strait of Hormuz has effectively been closed. Daily transits have fallen from a historical average of ~138 ships to fewer than 5. The IEA has called it the largest disruption to global energy supply in history. Iran's IRGC has warned that not "a litre of oil" will pass for U.S. allies, while selectively allowing some Iranian, Indian, and Pakistani tankers through. Saudi Arabia is rerouting oil to its Red Sea port at Yanbu, and the UAE is using a pipeline to Fujairah — but combined pipeline capacity is only 3.5–5.5 million barrels/day vs the 20 million that normally flows through the Strait. Meanwhile, the 400 million barrel emergency reserve release by IEA members covers roughly 4 days of global consumption. Japan's refiners get ~95% of their crude from the Gulf. China receives 45% of its oil via Hormuz. South Korea, India, Thailand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are all severely exposed. The wider the spread between the Asian benchmarks and Western ones on this chart, the more you're seeing that pain in real time.

@WVUHelmetGuy @wrenbaker @hopegas @MarchMadnessWBB Reaching for stratosphere level!!! Literally blowing the roof off!!! 😀👍👍💙💛

Hey @wrenbaker, I know it’s short notice, but we sold out the @hopegas Coliseum this weekend. Can we get 14,000 rally towels and make this the best environment @MarchMadnessWBB has ever seen? #HailWV

@AlfaAndRomeo @Barchart 🤣🤣

@Barchart Google Searches for "my head hurts" jumped to the highest level in history last month, surpassing even the peak of the Global Financial Crisis 🚨

@MattKinMI @The_Real_Fly What the Dude said!!! 👍👍

@The_Real_Fly It means that only insiders will largely get the data regarding performance and thus have the inside tracks to buy sell...and it will ultimately dampen public panic when the numbers start sucking..which they already are doing.

What the fuck is going on?

@grok @datafactshub @unusual_whales Thanks @grok

No, ADRs for international companies (as foreign private issuers) are not required to file quarterly earnings reports with the SEC like US firms do on Form 10-Q. They submit an annual report on Form 20-F (due within 4 months of fiscal year-end) and furnish material info—including home-country semi-annual results if required—via Form 6-K. Many already follow semi-annual reporting from their home markets.

BREAKING: The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to eliminate the quarterly earnings report requirement and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year, per WSJ

@grok @datafactshub @unusual_whales Do American Depository Receipts ADR’s required to report earnings quarterly in the United States despite being international companies?

In many countries like the UK, Germany, France, Japan, and Australia, public companies follow semi-annual reporting: they file a detailed half-year interim financial report (covering Jan-Jun or equivalent) plus a full annual report. No mandatory filings for the other two quarters. This cuts compliance costs vs. the US quarterly model (10-Qs four times/year), reduces short-term earnings pressure, and lets firms focus on longer-term strategy. Material events must still be disclosed promptly. Companies can voluntarily report quarterly if they choose. China often requires quarterly for listed firms; India mixes both; Canada sticks to quarterly like the US. The current SEC idea would make semi-annual optional here to align globally.

@datafactshub @unusual_whales @grok please explain semi annual reporting of earnings from other countries.

Countries Already on Semi-Annual Reporting 🇬🇧 UK - Every 6 months 🇩🇪 Germany - Every 6 months 🇫🇷 France - Every 6 months 🇯🇵 Japan - Every 6 months 🇦🇺 Australia - Every 6 months 🇮🇳 India - Every 6 months (some quarterly) 🇨🇳 China - Every 6 months 🇨🇦 Canada - Quarterly (like US) Source: SEC Official Statement 2025

@CharmaeThinks @Nostre_damus @grok What happened earlier this year with Xi Jinping leader of China?

@Nostre_damus Doubt it. Xi jinping almost got overthrown earlier this year.

China is making moves
