FedEx (FDX.N) is suing the U.S. government, demanding a full refund of emergency tariffs.February 24th - According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is considering new "national security tariffs" on six industries. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the tariffs under consideration could cover industries such as large batteries, pig iron and iron fittings, plastic pipes, industrial chemicals, and power grid and telecommunications equipment. These tariffs would be imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The new tariffs on these six industries would be implemented separately from the new 15% global tariff. It is unclear when the investigations into these tariffs, conducted by the Department of Commerce, will be announced, or when they will ultimately be implemented. Section 232 requires a lengthy investigation before tariffs can be imposed, but once implemented, the president can unilaterally amend it.February 24 - On February 23 local time, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the foreign ministers of 19 countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Palestine, Brazil, France, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden, along with the secretaries-general of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, issued a joint statement strongly condemning the Israeli security cabinet for approving a series of decisions that drastically altered its policies in the West Bank, strengthened its control over the West Bank, and accelerated the expansion of Jewish settlements.JPMorgan CFO Barnum: The final Basel III plan is unlikely to significantly change capital requirements in any direction.Musk: Anthropic stole training data on a massive scale and paid billions of dollars in compensation for it.

Oil prices fall owing to rising U.S. stocks and weaker demand

Oil prices dipped in early Asian trade on Wednesday with the release of U.S. inventory data indicating a rise in crude oil and refined products, amid rising fears of a global economic slowdown.


Brent oil futures shed 68 cents, or 0.7 percent , to $98.81 a barrel at 0002 GMT. The price of U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil dropped 72 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $95.12 a barrel, which is also the lowest level in three months.


Concerned that aggressive interest rate increases to battle inflation may precipitate a recession, which will severely influence oil consumption, investors have sold their oil holdings. Due to volatile trading, prices dropped by more than 7 percent in the previous session.


China's renewed COVID-19 travel restrictions had an effect on the market. Multiple cities in the world's second-largest economy have enacted further restrictions, ranging from firm closures to wider lockdowns, to prevent the spread of a highly dangerous virus strain.


During the week ending July 8, crude oil stocks climbed by around 4.8 million barrels in the United States. According to market sources citing data issued by the American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday, gasoline supplies grew by 3 million barrels, while distillate stockpiles increased by 3,3 million barrels.


The dollar index, which compares the dollar to a basket of six other currencies, reached its highest level since October 2002 on Tuesday, reaching 108.56.


Since oil is frequently priced in U.S. dollars, a stronger dollar makes the commodity more expensive for foreign currency holders. During times of market volatility, the dollar is often viewed as a safe haven by investors.
