Copper Moves Closer to $10,000 Mark as it Consolidates its Gains

Last month, a weak USD and resilient demand helped copper to register four weeks of gains on the London Metal Exchange.

M&A Deals in the Oil and Gas Sector are Slowing Down

Rystad Energy, an energy consultancy firm, recently published a report that indicates M&A deal-making in the oil and gas industry has dampened when compared to the first six months of last year. Donald Trump’s policies and other macroeconomic uncertainties have contributed to this slump, although it can also be argued that the slowing down of deal-making activity at this time is only natural after the frantic merger and acquisition deal-making that happened during the past 24 months. According to the report, the total value of the deals completed shrunk by approximately 33% to reach $82 billion during H1 of this…
