Rusia es el segundo mayor exportador mundial de petróleo y el mayor exportador de trigo.Los futuros del petróleo crudo de EE.UU. subieron brevemente un 1,3%, antes de renunciar a esas ganancias y negociar sin cambios. El crudo Brent, el punto de referencia internacional, también cambió poco después de ganar un 0,6% anteriormente. Ambos contratos perdieron casi un 4% la semana pasada.“Dado que el evento de corta duración de este fin de semana en Rusia parece haber terminado, no esperamos ver un aumento tan significativo en los precios del petróleo”, escribieron los analistas de Rystad Energy en una nota.“Sin embargo, creemos q...

Bitcoin hits its highest level in a year

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 08:32:45 GMT

(CNN) — Bitcoin on Friday shot up to its highest level in about a year.The cryptocurrency rose above $31,400 a coin on Friday, its highest level since 2022, before paring back its gains. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, earlier this week traded above $30,000 for the first time since April, when the collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank sent investors in search of safer places to hold their cash.Bitcoin is up by about 87% this year. Its most recent gains come after a wave of interest in crypto from financial giants. BlackRock last week applied to register a bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Crypto exchange EDX Markets, backed by firms such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity Digital Assets and Citadel, also launched its digital asset trading platform this week.Still, the renewed fervor for crypto comes against a backdrop of regulatory crackdowns. The SEC earlier this month sued Co...

BERLIN — Germany is preparing to permanently deploy 4,000 soldiers to Lithuania, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said Monday in Vilnius. Infrastructure and training facilities need to be constructed, but Pistorius said that Berlin would be putting a “robust brigade” in the Baltic country. Pistorius had traveled to Lithuania to watch NATO training drills with military alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Berlin pledged a year ago to keep a combat brigade ready to defend Lithuania.

Vilnius demanded it, but the German government did not immediately commit.In addition to approval from the German governing coalition, there is also support from the opposition for the decision. Foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter, a lawmaker from the center-right CDU, said it was a “decision of reason and reliability.”The ann...
