President Joe Biden sent a letter to seven oil refining companies, including ExxonMobil and Chevron, asking them to increase gasoline and diesel production and engage with his administration to address the energy crisis, noting, "At a time of war - historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable." In response to Biden's letter, American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Sommers said, "While we appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the White House, the administration's misguided policy agenda shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas have compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds to companies' daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while reducing emissions."
Billionaire investor Jeff Gundlach says he won't be shocked if bitcoin falls to $10,000, as 'blow-ups' rattle the crypto market

Billionaire investor Jeff Gundlach says it wouldn't surprise him if bitcoin falls further to hit $10,000, after a series of "blow-ups" that have raised worries about the stability of crypto markets.
The world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap has fallen to trade around 18-month lows over the past five days, and threatened to break below $20,000 Wednesday as investors fretted about recent industry events and Federal Reserve tightening.
"It looks like it's being liquidated. I'm not bullish at that $20,000 or $21,000 on bitcoin. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it went to $10,000," he said in a "Closing Bell" interview.
