May 16 – According to the New York Times, the Trump administration is considering establishing a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies investigated by the Justice Department during former President Bidens term, a move that would create a moral, legal, and political minefield for Republicans and Justice Department leadership. According to three people familiar with the matter, this unusual plan has not yet been finalized or approved. Democrats and former administration officials have criticized the plan as a massive, taxpayer-funded secret political fund. The proposal is a response to various allegations brought by President Trump against the federal government he controls. He has sought compensation for leaked tax returns during his first term, post-leave investigations into his handling of classified documents, and investigations into potential ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia. The idea of establishing a government fund to pay Trumps political allies has gained increasing support internally as the Justice Department and the White House attempt to resolve Trumps $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, which he filed in January. Officials familiar with the details revealed that establishing a compensation fund for Trumps allies, but not for the president himself, could provide a short-term solution, allowing the president to obtain tangible benefits from the lawsuit before a judge dismisses it.Market news: BlackRocks private credit fund valuation is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.According to SEC filings, Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in Chevron (CVX.N) by 35.2%, down to 84.4 million shares.SEC filings show that Berkshire Hathaway has sold off all of its Amazon (AMZN.O) shares.S&P: As a major net exporter of crude oil and an emerging producer of refined products, Nigeria has been less affected by the Middle East conflict.

During the Asian session, the gold price (XAUUSD) is fluctuating in uncharted area above the crucial barrier of $1,770.00. Amid market uncertainty preceding the US midterm elections, the precious metal has moved sideways. However, the public anticipates a decisive victory for Republicans in the House of Representatives.

 

The US dollar index (DXY) is failing to surpass the immediate barrier of 107.00 as the likelihood of the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintaining its current pace of rate hikes decline. In addition, increased demand for U.S. government bonds has caused rates to plummet. In the meantime, S&P500 futures have continued their rebound following Monday's pessimism.

 

The US Retail Sales statistics will be a focal point moving forward. According to predictions, the economic data is expected to be 0.9% compared to the previous release of 0%. The core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of October decreased to 0.3% from 0.6% in the previous report. The combination of a drop in price growth and a substantial increase in retail sales shows healthy retail demand.
