Reuters reports the US has extended a shipping law waiver by 90 days to allow freer movement of oil and commodities. Other macro items were also in the news.
What happened
Reuters reports that the United States has extended a waiver of a shipping law for 90 days. The stated aim is to allow oil and other commodities to move more freely.
The sources for this event also include a separate Reuters report on a Bank of England official, Greene, who said that acting proactively on inflation now would cause the least disruption. AP News also published a page with 2026 U.S. House election results.
