The market does not seem to question the Feds independence, with Fed Chairs Williams, Waller, and Daly all supporting a December rate cut. However, Varatan noted that investors are digesting the possibility that Hassett could politicize the Fed. He said the "Hassett effect" could cast a shadow over the dollar, adding that the risk of dollar depreciation remains high as long as this perception of political subservience in Fed chair appointments persists.On November 26th, after Ukraine agreed to a "simplified" version of its 28-point peace plan, Trump touted significant progress in his peace efforts. However, reports indicate that the most intractable issues in the Russia-Ukraine conflict remain unresolved. The Financial Times reported that US and Ukrainian negotiators left key issues regarding territorial concessions and security guarantees "for further discussion," leaving the decision to Trump and Zelensky. This suggests that negotiations have made little progress compared to before the 28-point plan was leaked last week. The 28-point plan, spearheaded by US Special Envoy Vitkov, heavily favored Russias core demands and included a series of unacceptable clauses for Ukraine, including a ban on future NATO membership and the cession of most of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. It remains unclear what Ukraine agreed to in the 19-point plan. The Financial Times quoted Ukraines First Deputy Foreign Minister as saying, "Very little of the original agreement has been retained."On November 26th, the overnight SHIBOR was 1.3160%, unchanged from the previous trading day.

According to a business official, 7-Eleven has cut around 880 corporate roles in the United States as the company finalizes its organizational structure.


The retail chain, owned by the Japanese retailer Seven & I Holdings Co, terminated employees at its support centers and field service operations in Irving, Texas and Enon, Ohio, according to an email forwarded to Reuters by a spokesman.


7-Eleven joins a growing list of U.S.-based companies that have recently laid off employees in reaction to the nation's rising inflationary pressure.


"A little over a year after the $21 billion Speedway acquisition, we have made significant progress in our integration process. As with every merger, our method entails examining the combined companies' structures "Representative stated:


Seven & I Holdings has agreed to pay $21 billion in 2020 to acquire the Speedway gas stations from Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:MPC). The purchase raised the number of 7-Eleven locations in North America to almost 14,000.


ValueAct Capital, a U.S. activist investor, purchased a $1.53 billion interest in Seven & I Businesses in 2017 and has been urging the company to execute structural reforms and sell its 7-Eleven holdings.


Seven & I Holdings said in April that it will reorganize its board to accelerate its worldwide growth.


The first day that CNBC reported the layoffs was Thursday.
