Abu Dhabi National Oil and Gas Company: Signs $4 billion, 20-year gas supply agreement with EMSTEEL to support UAE industrial development.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the Amazon MK30 drone that struck power lines in Waco, Texas last week.On November 26th, Haima Automobile stated on its interactive platform that the company has always adhered to a development path combining open cooperation and independent innovation in the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, actively working with outstanding partners in the industry chain to jointly promote technology research and development and industrial application. Currently, the company is steadily carrying out demonstration operations of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and is committed to building a complete hydrogen energy ecosystem.On November 26th, Mizuho Securities analyst Varatan stated that while the dollar remained stable due to a significantly increased likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut, it fell as the probability of Hassett being nominated as the next Fed chair rose sharply. 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."

Bitcoin falls below $19,000 as cryptos creak under rate hike risk

On Monday, cryptocurrency prices hit new lows as a result of regulatory worries and a general investor reluctance to engage in risky assets due to impending interest rate increases.


By market value, Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, dropped almost 5% to a three-month low of $18,387.


The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, lost 3% to a two-month low of $1,285 and had lost more than 10% in the previous day. The majority of the smaller tokens had larger losses.


Over the weekend, a significant update to the Ethereum blockchain—which supports the ether token—called the Merge changed how transactions are handled and reduced energy consumption.


The value of the token has decreased amid rumors that comments made last week by Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, suggested the new structure would draw further regulation. The upgrades' surrounding trades were likewise unwound.


The regulatory outlook is guesswork, according to Matthew Dibb, COO of Singapore's Stack Funds cryptocurrency platform.


Since the Merge, the markets have shed a lot of their excitement, he said. Given the uneasy global background, he said, "It's truly been a sell-the-news sort of event," and predicted that ether will test $950 in the near future.


"From a basic and technological standpoint, the current situation does not appear promising. There isn't a clear quick positive trigger that will support these markets and inject a ton of fresh cash and liquidity, in our opinion.
