Macquarie Group announced that Simon Wright, the head of commodities, received an annual salary of <strong>35 million Australian dollars</strong> amid rising profits due to a recovery in energy markets. This comes at a time when major companies face increasing pressure to deliver strong financial performance.
An Australian report from Macquarie forecasts that ongoing tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran could drive oil prices up to $200 per barrel, with a 40% probability. This scenario raises concerns about its negative impact on global energy demand and economic growth.
