Natural gas pipeline delays threaten AI data center project progress! Oracle (ORCL.US) deploys a "trucking natural gas" strategy to ensure power supply
智通财经2026/10/09 00:51According to Jinse Finance, Oracle (ORCL.US) is adopting a novel power supply strategy—transporting natural gas directly by truck to its server parks to ensure that multiple data center projects proceed as planned. Sources reveal that while Oracle awaits the construction and connection of natural gas pipelines to relevant equipment, trucking natural gas has enabled a data center in suburban Salt Lake City to make steady progress for over a year. One source noted that the company is also employing this method at a campus in Shackelford County, Texas, which is being built for OpenAI, to advance the project's initial construction phase.

Spot gold: Range-bound fluctuations, sell on rallies, buy on dips
Reason for analysis: Spot gold rebounded near a two-month low, but the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that most officials believe it may continue to raise interest rates this year. The strengthening of the US dollar and high US Treasury yields still exert pressure. The easing of tensions between the US and Iran has reduced some safe-haven demand. After technical indicators became oversold in the short term, there was a corrective rebound, but a reversal has not yet occurred, so the range-bound strategy is maintained. Key focus: US Treasury yields, US Dollar Index, geopolitical situation Resistance: 4200, 4230, 4270 Support: 4130, 4100, 4070

LME three-month copper rises 1.1% to $14,461.50 per ton
Analysts at ANZ Bank stated in a research report that rising energy prices and an overnight sell-off in the Nasdaq, which is dominated by tech stocks, have dampened investors’ risk appetite. However, copper prices remain near historic highs, supported by constrained supply. The analysts noted that workers at the Centinela copper mine in Chile are on strike, exacerbating supply limitations. They also indicated that market sentiment has turned relatively optimistic as Chinese traders return after a week-long holiday, providing some support for copper prices. According to ICE data, London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copper futures rose by 1.1% to $14,461.50 per ton.
