The products are expected to be available to trade on OKX’s platform in jurisdictions where OKX is licensed to offer perpetual futures products. The new OKX contracts represent a major step forward in expanding regulated access to global commodity markets through digital asset infrastructure.

ICE’s futures prices for Brent and WTI will underpin the new perpetual contracts offered on OKX’s platform. Brent Crude and WTI are among the world’s most widely referenced oil benchmarks.

"Oil markets are critical to the world economy. ICE’s Brent and WTI futures markets provide the benchmark prices that energy traders everywhere rely on. Bringing them into regulated perpetual futures is exactly the kind of bridge between traditional and digital markets that market participants have been asking for," said Haider Rafique, Global Managing Parter at OKX. "This launch gives retail traders access to the world's most important energy benchmarks in a regulated, transparent environment. That's a meaningful step forward as we modernize money and markets."

By integrating globally recognized commodity benchmarks into regulated digital markets, OKX and ICE are establishing new pathways for users to access some of the world’s most important energy markets.

“These new OKX perpetual contracts, based on ICE’s deep, liquid, transparent, and global oil markets, allow OKX’s customer base of 120 million retail traders to access energy benchmark products,” said Trabue Bland, Senior Vice President, Futures Exchanges at ICE.

The launch comes at a time of accelerating interest in tokenized finance, regulated derivatives and real-world asset products globally. For OKX, the launch reflects the company’s broader strategy of expanding regulated infrastructure and building products designed for long-term participation in global financial markets.

Le groupe Qatar Airways affiche de solides résultats financiers malgré l'instabilité économique mondiale

 

PARIS - mercredi, 20. mai 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Le groupe Qatar Airways a annoncé aujourd’hui un bénéfice après impôts de 7,08 milliards de riyals qatariens (1,94 milliard de dollars américains) pour l’exercice 2025/26. Ces résultats témoignent d’une solide performance malgré un dernier mois marqué par d’importants événements géopolitiques, réaffirmant ainsi sa position parmi les groupes les plus résilients du secteur aérien mondial. Tout au long de l’année financière 2025/26, le Groupe a continué à se développer, à innover et à offrir des services et des expériences de grande qualité aux particuliers et aux entreprises.

La compagnie aérienne a transporté plus de 41,8 millions de passagers, maintenant une connectivité mondiale étendue via l’aéroport international Hamad. La division fret du Groupe a continué d’exceller, ayant transporté plus de 1,43 million de tonnes de poids facturable, renforçant ainsi sa position de premier transporteur mondial de fret aérien avec une part de marché mondiale de 12 %.

La compagnie aérienne a également maintenu une ponctualité de premier plan dans le secteur, avec un taux de ponctualité de 86 %, ce qui la place nettement parmi les cinq transporteurs les plus ponctuels au monde et lui a valu la distinction la plus convoitée dans le domaine de l’évaluation comparative des opérations aériennes mondiales, le Cirium Platinum Award pour l’Excellence Opérationnelle.

M. Hamad Al-Khater, directeur général du groupe Qatar Airways, a déclaré : « Il est rare qu’un seul exercice financier exige d’une organisation qu’elle démontre à la fois le meilleur de ce dont elle est capable et la résilience dont elle peut faire preuve. L’exercice 2025/26 a répondu à ces deux exigences, et le groupe Qatar Airways s’est montré à la hauteur de chacune d’elles.

Ces résultats témoignent de la solidité de ce groupe sur tous les plans qui comptent : un bilan solide, des opérations à la pointe du secteur, des partenariats solides et des collaborateurs qui ont su maintenir les standards qui font la réputation de ce groupe, même dans les conditions les plus difficiles.

Derrière chaque résultat se cachent 57 800 personnes, travaillant dans plus de 90 pays. Au cours des dernières semaines de l’année financière, nombre d’entre elles ont géré une crise en cours avec un professionnalisme qui définit cette organisation tout autant que n’importe quel indicateur financier, et cela mérite d’être reconnu.

Nous reconstruisons activement notre réseau mondial avec la confiance que nous confèrent un bilan financier plus solide que jamais, des partenariats qui ont prouvé leur profondeur lorsque nous en avions le plus besoin, et une organisation qui a démontré, sous une pression réelle, exactement ce dont elle est capable. »

Principales réalisations de l'année 2025/26 :

• Une expansion record de la flotte : le groupe Qatar Airways a signé des accords historiques avec Boeing et GE Aerospace portant sur l'acquisition et la maintenance de jusqu'à 210 appareils et 400 moteurs, ce qui constitue l'un des engagements les plus importants de l'histoire de l'aviation commerciale en matière de flotte.

• Meilleure compagnie aérienne au monde – pour la neuvième fois, un record : Qatar Airways a été désignée « Meilleure compagnie aérienne au monde 2025 » par Skytrax, une reconnaissance sans précédent qui confirme son excellence dans l’aviation mondiale.

• Prix Cirium Platinum pour l’Excellence Opérationnelle : en reconnaissance du taux de ponctualité de 86 % de la compagnie et de ses normes opérationnelles d’élite, ce qui la place parmi les cinq transporteurs les plus ponctuels au monde.

• La flotte de gros-porteurs la plus connectée au monde : Qatar Airways exploite la première et la plus grande flotte de gros-porteurs au monde équipée de Starlink, avec une connectivité haut débit en vol disponible sur les Boeing 777, Airbus A350 et Boeing 787-8, offrant ainsi un accès Internet gratuit et fluide aux passagers sur plusieurs liaisons mondiales, y compris les vols long-courriers et ultra-long-courriers.

• Aéroport international Hamad - Le meilleur du Moyen-Orient : pour la 11e année consécutive, Skytrax a désigné l'aéroport international Hamad comme le meilleur aéroport du Moyen-Orient, soulignant ainsi son statut de première porte d'entrée aérienne de la région.

• Meilleur magasin d'aéroport pour la troisième année consécutive : Qatar Duty Free a été désigné « Meilleur magasin d'aéroport au monde » par Skytrax pour la troisième année consécutive, ce qui témoigne des investissements continus dans l'expérience d'achat et d'accueil des passagers à l'aéroport international Hamad.

• Qatar Airways Cargo - Un leadership mondial inégalé dans le fret : avec 1,43 million de tonnes de fret payant transportées et une part de marché mondiale dominante de 12 %, Qatar Airways Cargo a renforcé son statut de plus gros transporteur international de fret aérien au monde.

Pour l'avenir, Qatar Airways continue de reconstruire son réseau mondial, en s'appuyant sur des principes commerciaux solides, pour desservir plus de 160 destinations d'ici l'été 2026. Cela permettra aux voyageurs du monde entier de profiter de son service primé à bord, notamment en restant connectés via Starlink et en bénéficiant de correspondances fluides grâce à l'aéroport international Hamad de Doha, à la pointe de la technologie.

À propos de Qatar Airways

La compagnie aérienne Qatar Airways, plusieurs fois primée, a remporté le titre de « Meilleure compagnie aérienne au monde » pour la neuvième fois, un record sans précédent, lors des World Airline Awards 2025, organisés par l'organisme international de notation du transport aérien Skytrax. Qatar Airways avait déjà été nommée meilleure compagnie aérienne au monde en 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 et 2024.
La compagnie aérienne continue d'être synonyme d'excellence et a une fois de plus été récompensée pour sa « meilleure classe affaires au monde » et son « meilleur salon d'aéroport en classe affaires au monde ». En tant que principale compagnie aérienne de la région, Qatar Airways a également été récompensée pour la 13e fois par le titre de « meilleure compagnie aérienne du Moyen-Orient ».

Qatar Airways s’est récemment vu décerner la distinction « Platinum » par Cirium, le leader mondial de l’analyse des données aériennes, pour sa fiabilité et ses performances opérationnelles. Cette distinction témoigne de l’engagement sans faille de la compagnie aérienne à offrir des opérations fluides et éprouvées, dans le cadre de son expérience passager primée.

Cet été, Qatar Airways desservira plus de 160 destinations à travers le monde, via son hub de Doha, l'aéroport international Hamad. Cet aéroport a été désigné « Meilleur aéroport du Moyen-Orient » pendant 11 années consécutives, ainsi que « Meilleur aéroport au monde pour le shopping » pour la troisième année d'affilée par Skytrax. L'aéroport international Hamad a déjà été nommé « Meilleur aéroport du monde » par Skytrax en 2021, 2022 et 2024.

Qatar Airways a été la première compagnie aérienne du Moyen-Orient à obtenir la certification du plus haut niveau du programme d'évaluation environnementale de l'IATA (IEnvA), basé sur des principes reconnus en matière de gestion environnementale (tels que la norme ISO 14001).

En tant que signataire inaugural de la Déclaration de Buckingham Palace en mars 2016, Qatar Airways est devenue la première compagnie aérienne au monde à être certifiée conforme à la norme industrielle pour la prévention du trafic illégal d'espèces sauvages dans l'aviation.

Qatar Airways Group delivers robust financial performance despite global economic instability

 

DOHA, Qatar - Wednesday, 20. May 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qatar Airways Group today announced a post-tax profit of QAR 7.08bn (US$ 1.94bn) for financial year 2025/26. The results demonstrate a robust performance against a final month impacted by significant geopolitical events, reaffirming its position as one of global aviation’s most resilient Groups.

Throughout financial year 2025/26, the Group continued to develop, innovate and provide world-class services and experiences to passengers and businesses.

The airline carried more than 41.8 million passengers, maintaining extensive global connectivity through Hamad International Airport. The Group’s cargo division continued to excel, having transported more than 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable weight, advancing its position as the world’s largest air freight carrier with a 12% global market share.

The airline also maintained industry-leading punctuality, achieving an 86% on-time performance, placing it firmly among the top five most punctual carriers worldwide, and securing the most coveted recognition in global airline operations benchmarking, the Cirium Platinum Award for Operational Excellence.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hamad Al-Khater, said: "It is not often that a single financial year asks an organisation to demonstrate both the best of what it can achieve and the depth of what it can withstand. The 2025/26 financial year did both, and the Qatar Airways Group rose to each in turn.

"These results speak to the strength of this Group across every measure that matters — a strong balance sheet, industry-leading operations, partnerships of real depth, and people who maintained the standards this Group is known for, even under the most demanding conditions.

"Behind every result are 57,800 people, working across more than 90 countries. In the final weeks of the financial year, many of them were managing an active crisis with a standard of professionalism that defines this organisation as much as any financial metric, and it deserves to be recognised.

"We are actively rebuilding our global network with the confidence that comes from a balance sheet that has never been stronger, partnerships that proved their depth when we needed them most, and an organisation that has demonstrated, under genuine pressure, exactly what it is capable of.”

Key achievements of 2025/26 financial year:

• Record-Breaking Fleet Expansion: Qatar Airways Group signed landmark agreements with Boeing and GE Aerospace for the acquisition and servicing of up to 210 aircraft and 400 engines, among the most significant fleet commitments in commercial aviation history.

• Cirium Platinum Award for Operational Excellence: Recognising the airline’s 86% on-time performance and elite operational standards, placing it among the world’s top five most punctual carriers.

• World’s Most Connected Widebody Fleet: Qatar Airways operates the world’s first and largest Starlink-equipped widebody fleet, with high-speed in-flight connectivity live across Boeing 777, Airbus A350, and Boeing 787-8 aircraft, bringing seamless and free in-flight internet to passengers on various routes worldwide, including long-haul and ultra-long-haul.

• Hamad International Airport - Best in the Middle East: For the 11th consecutive year, Skytrax recognised Hamad International Airport as the Best Airport in the Middle East, underlining it as the region’s premier aviation gateway.

• Best Airport Shopping for Third Consecutive Year: Qatar Duty Free was awarded Best Airport Shopping globally by Skytrax for the third successive year, reflecting continued investment in the passenger retail and hospitality experience at Hamad International Airport.

• Qatar Airways Cargo - Unrivalled Global Freight Leadership: With 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable freight transported and a commanding 12% global market share, Qatar Airways Cargo reinforced its status as the world’s largest international air cargo carrier.

Looking ahead, Qatar Airways continues to rebuild its global schedule, underpinned by sound business principles, reaching more than 160 destinations by summer 2026. This will enable travellers from around the world to experience its award-winning service onboard, including staying connected via Starlink and seamlessly connecting through state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport in Doha.

About Qatar Airways
A multiple award-winning airline, Qatar Airways won the ‘World’s Best Airline’ title for an unprecedented ninth time at the 2025 World Airline Awards, managed by the international air transport rating organisation, Skytrax.

Qatar Airways recently received the Platinum performance recognition by Cirium, the leading aviation analytics organisation, for its reliability and operational performance. The recognition is a testament to the airline’s unwavering commitment to providing seamless and proven operations as part of its award-winning passenger experience.

This summer, Qatar Airways will fly to over 160 destinations worldwide, connecting through its Doha hub, Hamad International Airport. The airport has been recognised as the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ for 11 consecutive years, as well as ‘World’s Best Airport Shopping’ for the third year in a row by Skytrax.

Hamad International Airport has previously been named the ‘World’s Best Airport’ by Skytrax in 2021, 2022, and 2024. Qatar Airways was the first airline in the Middle East to be certified to the highest level of IATA’s Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) programme, based on recognised environmental management system principles (such as ISO 14001).

As an inaugural signatory to the Buckingham Palace Declaration in March 2016, Qatar Airways became the first airline globally to be certified to the industry standard for the prevention of illegal wildlife trafficking in aviation.

Audiencerate: Riccardo Fabbri Joins as Chief Technology Officer—The AI-Driven Phase of the Platforms for SMEs and Media Agencies Begins

 The co-founder and former managing partner of Nohup (acquired by Havas Group in 2021) will lead the development of the artificial intelligence infrastructure that integrates first-party and third-party data, powering the platform delivered with Postel and Microsoft to Italian SMEs and the platform with the DV360 offering for global media agencies.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Audiencerate Ltd, one of the few globally certified Google Customer Match Upload Partners and a Microsoft IP Co-sell certified partner with MACC eligibility, today announced the appointment of Riccardo Fabbri as Chief Technology Officer. The appointment marks a phase of dual expansion: the Audiencerate–Postel–Microsoft platform for Italian SMEs, and the Data platform integrated with Google DV360 for Agencies and Data Providers — both evolving toward a model that natively leverages first-party and third-party data through AI and machine learning.

A profile built on twenty years of digital transformation

Fabbri brings to Audiencerate over two decades of experience in software development and cloud architectures. Co-founder in 2004 of Nohup, a digital consultancy in cloud-native development, he led the company to Financial Times recognition among Europe's leading firms in the sector for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022). In August 2021 Nohup was acquired by the Havas Group, bringing its 30 professionals across Milan, Turin, and Udine into Havas CX. The distinctive trait of Fabbri's path is engineering rigor, attention to privacy, and deep knowledge of media operational workflows — an essential asset within the European framework of AI Act, GDPR, and the Italian Consumer Code.

The AI-driven leap for SMEs and Agencies

Under Fabbri's leadership, Audiencerate will accelerate on two parallel tracks. On the SME front, AI and machine learning enable continuous model learning, predictive modeling (propensity scoring, lookalike, CLV) and self-optimization of budget and bid management. On the agency front, advertisers' first-party data serves as seed for lookalike and propensity models enriched with third-party signals: an audience that combines 1P relevance with 3P scale, compliant with privacy and cookie ecosystem evolution.

Statements

"Riccardo's entry is the missing piece," said Gianluca Leotta, President of Audiencerate. "A technologist-entrepreneur who took Nohup to a European exit, lived inside the international media agency world, and knows the technical grammar of our trajectory exactly. It is a long-term choice, consistent with the patrimonial and industrial vision we have always had for this project."

"Audiencerate has built over the years a unique technological asset: a Data Provider position native to both Google and Microsoft ecosystems, with certifications and partnerships that very few companies can claim," said Riccardo Fabbri. "The project is both challenging and exciting. On one side, bringing this infrastructure to millions of Italian SMEs through Postel and Microsoft. On the other, evolving the DV360 offering by drawing on twenty years alongside media agencies: trading desks need models that intelligently fuse first-party and third-party data, while pursuing the automation and scale needed to recover margins the market no longer recognizes as it once did. This is the kind of engineering challenge that resonates with my path as a founder and entrepreneur."

About Audiencerate

Audiencerate Ltd, headquartered in London with offices in Italy and the United States, specializes in data activation, audience intelligence, and AI-driven marketing. Google Customer Match Upload Partner (December 2025), Google Data Provider since 2012, Microsoft IP Co-sell Eligible / MACC Eligible. NEXI is the company's flagship enterprise client in Italy.

AHS Properties: À 26 ans, Abbas Sajwani investit des milliards dans l'avenir de Dubaï

 Dubaï, Émirats arabes unis - jeudi, 21. mai 2026

Désigné plus jeune milliardaire de l'immobilier au monde par Forbes, le fondateur d'AHS Properties développe un portefeuille de projets de 50 milliards de dirhams (AED) avec une conviction inébranlable : Dubaï n'est plus un marché du luxe, mais une destination de choix pour les capitaux.

 

Alors que les capitaux immobiliers mondiaux se réorientent, Abbas Sajwani accélère sa croissance.

Le fondateur et PDG d'AHS Properties, âgé de 26 ans et récemment reconnu par Forbes comme le plus jeune milliardaire arabe et le plus jeune milliardaire mondial de l'immobilier, avec une fortune de 1,9 milliard de dollars, construit l'une des plateformes de développement les plus dynamiques de Dubaï.

Depuis son lancement en 2021, AHS Properties a étendu ses activités, passant de la rénovation de villas de grand luxe à un portefeuille de plusieurs milliards de dollars comprenant des résidences en bord de mer, des immeubles commerciaux de catégorie A et des projets à usage mixte de grande envergure, situés le long des axes stratégiques les plus importants de Dubaï.

Son fleuron commercial, la tour AHS sur Sheikh Zayed Road, a été entièrement vendue pendant sa construction, tandis que son portefeuille de projets devrait atteindre 50 milliards de dirhams d'ici la fin de l'année.

Cette croissance repose sur une stratégie à contre-courant de la prudence générale du marché.

« Le véritable risque sur ce marché n'est pas la volatilité, mais l'attente », a déclaré Sajwani. « Lorsque la conviction devient évidente, l'opportunité est déjà intégrée aux cours. »

Alors que certains segments du capital mondial se sont mis en retrait face à l'incertitude géopolitique et macroéconomique, AHS Properties a poursuivi son déploiement, en réalisant des acquisitions foncières stratégiques et en lançant de nouveaux projets répondant à la demande à long terme.

La thèse de Sajwani est structurelle, et non conjoncturelle.

Il estime que Dubaï est en pleine mutation, passant d'une destination de luxe discrétionnaire à un pôle d'attraction majeur pour les capitaux mondiaux, grâce à l'afflux constant de particuliers fortunés, de fondateurs et de family offices.

« Il ne s'agit pas d'une question de demande à court terme », a-t-il affirmé. « Il s'agit de savoir où les capitaux choisissent d'investir. »
