Indian government: Diesel sales in India rose 4.7% year-on-year in November, while gasoline sales rose 2.6% year-on-year.On December 6th, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Rehn stated that the medium-term inflation risks in the Eurozone are slightly tilted to the downside. He cited "relatively low energy prices, the appreciation of the euro, and expectations of slower inflation in the services and wage sectors" as downside factors. Factors pushing up inflation include "potential impacts on supply chains from geoeconomic fragmentation" and a stronger-than-expected economic rebound that could lower the savings rate. Rehn said, "We need to pay attention to both upside and downside risks." He refuted suggestions from some colleagues that another rate cut should be subject to high thresholds. Rehn stated, "We shouldnt impose any unnecessary constraints on our monetary policy, whether high or low thresholds. Its best to follow our strategy and be consistent in word and deed. I believe we will." When asked about ECB President Lagardes recent comments that the central bank is in a "good but not fixed" position regarding interest rates, Rehn agreed.December 6th - According to the Gaza Strip Media Office, since the ceasefire agreement took effect this year, Gaza has experienced a severe gas shortage. Originally, 660 gas delivery trucks were scheduled to enter Gaza, but only 104 have been approved so far, representing only about 16% of the agreed demand. This shortfall directly affects 2.4 million residents of Gaza, impacting essential sectors such as homes, hospitals, bakeries, and public kitchens. Currently, gas in Gaza is allocated based on the actual number of registered households to ensure fairness. Each household is allocated an 8kg gas cylinder per cycle, and can only collect it once per cycle. 252,000 households have already received their quotas, but the system targets approximately 470,000 households. Due to the continued shortage, each allocation cycle takes at least three months to complete the distribution to all registered households.Ukrainian President Zelensky: He spoke by phone with NATO Secretary General Rutte.Market news: The Indian government is preparing to take action against IndiGo, or may seek to remove IndiGos CEO.

UK Regulator Extends Registration Deadline For Few Crypto Firms

The FCA has extended the provisional registration deadline for 12 cryptocurrency companies.

According to the UK's regulator, all other crypto companies must register by April 1.

Over 60 applications have been denied or withdrawn by the watchdog, which has approved 33.


The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the United Kingdom stated that the provisional registration deadline for 12 crypto firms had been extended.


Temporary Registration Regime is a system that allows people to register for a limited

On March 31, the agency planned to cease its temporary registration system (TRR) for crypto-asset enterprises. According to the regulator, 12 companies on the temporary registration will be forced to stop operating if they do not receive approval by the deadline.


According to a regulatory update issued today, the 12 companies will be permitted to continue trading under temporary licenses until the extended deadline.


"Except for a tiny number of enterprises for which interim registration is necessary, the TRR will close on April 1."


However, the FCA cautioned that extensions might be required if a company files an appeal or has special winding-down conditions.


Revolt, Copper Technologies, Blockchain.com, and CEX.IO are among the companies having interim registration.


The authority has previously stated that without permanent licenses, crypto firms in the UK will be forced to close down by April 1. The regime's goal is to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.


The financial body underlined that the extension of the registration deadline for the 12 crypto firms "does not signify that the FCA has assessed them as fit and appropriate."


The delay comes after UK legislators chastised the government for failing to meet the April 1 deadline. Earlier this year, a Treasury Committee report noted that crypto-asset registrations were "too delayed." "The FCA should not extend the registration deadline beyond March 2022," it stated. If there are no other options, the FCA should write to the Committee to clarify its position."


Cryptocurrency firms are being barred from operating in the United Kingdom.


The regulator's strict yet slow approach has prompted some crypto businesses to leave the nation, annoying the crypto community and users.


Out of over 100 crypto businesses that applied to register, the FCA has only authorized 33 of them so far. Over 60 businesses have been turned down or have withdrawn their applications.

Wirex, a cryptocurrency payment app, is the latest to withdraw its application from the FCA's temporary registration regime before the deadline.


"We decided some time ago to say'screw them,'" a crypto executive told the Financial Times of his company's decision to leave the UK and relocate somewhere in Europe. Over the years, I have been the FCA's biggest supporter. They were the industry's gold standard in terms of regulation. However, that is no longer the case."


Binance and its operations were kicked out of the UK in 2021 by the regulatory authority, which stated that it was not authorized to operate in the country.
