Experts debunk claims that failing a 'sit-to-stand' test, involving standing up from the floor with legs crossed without using hands, arms, knees or side of legs, indicates a higher likelihood of dying in six years. While the test does assess physical strength and mobility crucial for aging individuals to prevent falls, it is not a direct measure of longevity. Various other factors impact life expectancy, and experts suggest alternative tests like walking speed, pushups, and grip strength as better indicators of longevity.

The article discusses the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) globally and highlights two lesser-known EV stocks, Rivian Automotive (RIVN) and Lucid Group (LCID), that have significantly cheaper valuations compared to Tesla. Rivian, with a strong customer satisfaction record and upcoming affordable models, is trading at just over 2 times sales and has the potential for growth with investments. On the other hand, Lucid, valued at just $6.6 billion, offers higher upside potential on paper, but faces challenges like lower sales volume and cash burn. The article suggests Rivian as a potentially smarter investment choice due to its track record, current valuation discount, and progress towards mass sales. Investors are advised to consider their investment strategy and growth prospects before investing in these EV stocks.

OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, have decided to continue oil output reductions until 2025 to stabilize the market due to slow demand growth, high interest rates, and increasing US production. With Brent crude trading near $80 per barrel, below the breakeven point for some OPEC+ countries, concerns over sluggish demand growth, especially from China, the top oil importer, persist. OPEC+ initiated substantial output cuts in late 2022, with current cuts at 5.86mbbl/d. In a recent meeting, OPEC+ agreed to prolong the 3.66mbbl/d cuts until end-2025 and the 2.2mbbl/d cuts until September 2024, intending to phase them out over a year starting October 2024. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman mentioned that OPEC+ might reverse easing cuts or reinstate them if demand falls short of expectations, as the International Energy Agency recently revised its 2024 oil demand growth forecast downwards.
