04:15 AM EDT, 09/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- BlackRock (BLK) and IFM Investors are in exclusive talks to acquire Stack Infrastructure's Asia Pacific data centers in a deal that could value the portfolio at $20 billion to $25 billion, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. The BlackRock-backed investor group plans to conduct due diligence on the assets and aims to reach an agreement with Stack owner Blue Owl Capital (OWL), the report said. The talks follow Blue Owl's earlier effort to sell the portfolio at a higher valuation above $30 billion, according to the report. BlackRock and Blue Owl Capital did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

According to reports, since the middle of last week, Saudi Arabia has sold approximately 100 million barrels of crude oil to China, India, Japan, and South Korea, with delivery periods covering October and November. At the same time, Saudi Aramco has made a rare commitment in these transactions to handle logistics and transportation, delivering the crude oil directly to Asian customers. Previously, due to soaring oil prices, Asian refineries had been considering reducing operating rates. This large-scale supply has to some extent mitigated the supply risks faced by Asia.
