Twists – by Wall Street

predicted a surge for oil this year, however, prices have gone down
significantly (At least than what they expected). Analysts have outright
flagged this financial turmoil obstructing the bullish outlook.

Ever heard of Super-Apps?
Well, Asians have, and
apparently, they are so used to it that the world seems less colorful without
them in their countries. Well, to name a few, WeChat, Alipay, Meituan, etcetera
are just a few examples of which even Elon Musk praises and wants Twitter to
become their competitor in the future.
So back to the real
question, what is a Super-App? To simply put, a Super-App is a single
application, easily accessible through your phone or browser, offering a wide
range of services ranging from personal, commercial, financial, and social
utility. Super-Apps also provide an immense library of customer data to large
scale organizations, which can be used to identify consumer preferences and
offer discounts, promotions, and personalized recommendations accordingly.
E-commerce is a huge industry, and through Super-Apps, it has become even
larger. To learn how, click here.
