U.S. House Speaker Boris Johnson: The House will approve legislation on Tuesday to end the brief government shutdown.February 3 - According to foreign media reports, the US government is preparing to issue a general license allowing companies to drill for oil in Venezuela, as part of the Trump administrations plan to ease sanctions and revitalize the countrys stagnant energy industry. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the US Treasury Department could issue the license as early as this week. This move is a key step in attracting US-affiliated companies to participate and restoring Venezuelan crude oil production. Last week, the US issued another general license allowing companies to buy and sell Venezuelan crude oil. This license covers several downstream operations, including loading, exporting, transporting, and refining crude oil, but only if carried out by "a registered US entity."The United States plans to issue licenses to companies that can exploit Venezuelan oil.U.S. stock indexes extended their losses, with the Nasdaq down 1% and the S&P 500 down 0.48%.Walmart (WMT.N) shares rose on Tuesday, pushing its market capitalization past the $1 trillion mark for the first time, joining the ranks of companies typically represented by large tech giants. Year-to-date, the stock is up 12%, outperforming the S&P 500s 1.9% gain. Walmarts massive scale and supplier network allow it to maintain low prices and continue to capture market share across income levels.

Near 0.8670, the EUR/GBP shows a careless drop; attention is on UK employment

The EUR/GBP pair displayed a minor pullback on Monday after hitting a four-day low of about 0.8650. After finishing the retreat, it is projected that the cross will start moving downward and that it will quicken its slide after losing the crucial support level of 0.8650. According to incoming job data from the United Kingdom, the asset will probably change.

 

Forecasts indicate that the unemployment rate in the UK will remain at 3.8%. The unemployment rate won't change even if the number of people collecting unemployment benefits will drop by 9.2k. Due to higher payouts in an inflationary environment, the Average Earnings data is the catalyst that families should take into account. The labor cost index would significantly rise from 4.7% to 5%, helping households offset the higher payments brought on by soaring inflation.

 

Additionally, Wednesday's UK inflation figures will be crucial. It is projected that the UK's Consumer Price Index (CPI) will stay over 10% at 10.2%. The Bank of England (BOE) will be forced to raise interest rates as a result. The difference in policy between the Bank of England and the European Central Bank could be made worse by this.

 

The bulls of the single currency must contend with rising energy prices. The quantity of energy needed to run heaters and other heat-generating devices will rise over the upcoming winter season in Europe. As a result, the need for energy will rise even further. The ECB unexpectedly raised interest rates by 75 basis points (bps) last week; this week, it will announce more rate rises as long as price pressures exceed the planned rate.

 

Due to rising energy prices, the corporate sector in the eurozone is going through a period of declining profitability. Major corporations' input costs have increased as a result of rising energy prices, reducing their operating margins and forcing some businesses into bankruptcy. Their financial performance is significantly impacted by rising energy prices and interest rates.
