This comes as the United States seeks to strengthen its control over Venezuelas vast oil industry. Eni stated, "We are working with our Venezuelan partners and all other relevant parties to support the revitalization of the countrys energy sector." Eni made these remarks as the Trump administration seeks a significant role in Venezuelas oil industry, including a plan for the US to control 55% of the actual production of a joint venture. This joint venture involves oil fields with approximately 65 billion barrels of proven reserves. Eni is also expanding its operations in Venezuela. The company has been negotiating new contracts for the Junín-5 and Corocoro oil projects and recently signed a natural gas export agreement for the large Perla gas field.On August 29th, at a thematic exchange event during the 2026 China International Big Data Industry Expo, an official from the National Data Administration stated that as of the end of July 2026, the total scale of intelligent computing nationwide reached 2.45 million PFLOPS (FP16).

Going forward, the National Data Administration will continue to optimize computing power layout to enhance supply capacity, strengthen monitoring and scheduling to improve utilization efficiency, deepen computing-power collaboration, cultivate the industrial ecosystem, and comprehensively promote the high-quality development of computing power.August 29th - According to the UKs Daily Telegraph, British Prime Minister Burnham has abandoned two key green taxes pushed by former Prime Minister Starmer, shifting away from the costly net-zero emissions policy. Burnham has shelved plans to levy environmental fees on waste incineration facilities and ports. This move comes amid growing concerns within the British government about the extent to which cumbersome regulations are driving up prices and worsening the actual living conditions of households. Starmer had planned to expand the UKs Emissions Trading System (ETS) to include waste incineration facilities and domestic ports. Under the ETS, businesses must pay for emissions exceeding government-set limits. Officials from the UKs Department for Energy Security and Net-Zero Emissions announced that this adjustment will be shelved indefinitely. Meanwhile, the UK Department for Transport announced that plans to levy carbon emissions fees on UK ports under the ETS will also be shelved. The initial plan would require ports to pay for emissions generated during the "berthing period" of cargo ships. Officials quietly abandoned these plans, instead proposing a carbon tax on shipping companies.On August 29th, former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhailov Fedorov announced on the 28th that he had accepted an invitation to serve as an advisor to Italian Defense Minister Guido Croceto. Fedorov wrote on social media that he will serve as Crocetos defense innovation advisor, providing assistance in areas such as "modern warfare technology," and expressed his "gratitude for Crocetos trust and support." Last month, Fedorov was dismissed from his post as defense minister by Ukrainian President Zelensky after only six months in office, sparking large-scale protests in many parts of Ukraine. Zelensky subsequently dismissed Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Sørsky, with whom Fedorov had a strained relationship. In mid-August, Fedorov released a video calling for wartime elections in Ukraine, stating that the country was facing a governance crisis. Several days later, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine was not yet ready to hold wartime elections, otherwise it would face a significant danger of national disintegration.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
