This is Chanel.

The growth is coming at a time when experts believe that the global luxury fashion market customer base is shrinking.

That doesn't seem to be the case in Australia.

Of course, these latest attacks come amid ceasefire negotiations, or maybe I should say stalled ceasefire negotiations.

Earlier, CENTCOM said it had struck and disabled an unladen oil tanker that was sailing towards Iran as part of Washington's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has dropped his plan for a $1.8 billion anti-weaponisation fund that would compensate his political allies for being targeted by

by the justice system under Joe Biden.

Huge political backlash on that one from Republicans and Democrats, so Trump's dropped it.

And the US is proposing new tariffs of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners following an investigation into goods allegedly produced by forced labor as Trump seeks to rebuild the tariff wall struck down by the US Supreme Court earlier in the year.

The rocket launch satellite and artificial intelligence companies is seeking to raise about 75 billion US dollars, so let's say 100 billion Aussie, eclipsing the record 29 billion raised by Saudi Aramco back in 2019.

The float is targeting an overall company valuation of at least 1.8 trillion US dollars, according to Bloomberg News.

Reuters is reporting that the initial price has been set at $135 per share.

Setting the terms ahead of a formal investor briefings will give the market more time to digest the valuation when you're saying, hey, we're coming to the market at $1.8 trillion.

It takes a little bit of time for investors to get their head around it.

Yeah, so the company hasn't decided on the number or price of shares to be offered, but last week it raised money that pushed its valuation to nearly a trillion US dollars.

Meanwhile, while we're talking and thropping, it's going to extend access to its super powerful Mythos model to Australian organisations for the first time.

This is the model that's really good at identifying software and network flaws.

And it's only releasing it slowly so that large companies can check out their own security vulnerabilities and fix them before Mythos ends up in the hands of hackers, which it ultimately will do.

So it is a slow launch so people can prepare for the full launch when the baddies get their hands on it.
