Oil prices set to snap two-week losing streak as peace in Ukraine remains elusive
(Reuters) -Oil prices were little changed on Friday but were on track to snap a two-week losing streak as hope for immediate peace between Russia and Ukraine dimmed, increasing the risk premium demanded by oil sellers. Brent crude futures were down 4 cents to $67.63 a barrel at 0052 GMT, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 1 cent to $63.51. Both contracts climbed more than 1% in the prior session. Brent has risen 2.7% this week, while the WTI has gained 1.1%. Traders are pricing in more risk as hope that U.S. President Donald Trump can quickly broker a deal to end the war, which propelled a sell-off in oil over the last two weeks, fades. The three-and-a-half-year war continued unabated on Thursday as Russia launched an air attack near Ukraine's border with the European Union and Ukraine said it hit a Russian oil refinery. Meanwhile, U.S. and European planners said they have developed military options by allied national security advisers. That followed the first in-person talks at the weekend between the U.S. and Russian leaders since Russia invaded Ukraine, which have so far yielded little progress toward peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded Ukraine give up all of the eastern Donbas region, renounce NATO ambitions and keep Western troops out of the country, sources told Reuters. Trump pledged to protect Ukraine under any war-ending deal. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed the idea of withdrawing from internationally recognised Ukrainian land. Oil prices were also supported by a larger-than-expected drawdown from U.S. crude stockpiles in the last week, indicating strong demand. Stockpiles fell 6 million barrels in the week ended August 15, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday. Analysts had expected 1.8 million barrels. [EIA/S] Investors were also looking to the Jackson Hole economic conference in Wyoming for signals of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. The annual gathering of central bankers begins on Thursday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaking on Friday. Lower interest rates can stimulate economic growth and increase oil demand, potentially boosting prices.

Trump tariffs live updates: The US and EU agree on a written trade framework
The US and the EU established a written framework on Thursday for the trade deal agreed to on July 27. The terms include a 15% US tariff on most EU imports: These include autos, pharmaceutical goods, semiconductors, and lumber — but not wine and spirits. The two sides also outlined the EU's promise to remove tariffs on US industrial goods and give better access to US seafood and agricultural products. "The United States and the European Union, in line with their relevant internal procedures, will promptly document the Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade to implement this Framework Agreement," the statement concluded. On Wednesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US is content with its current tariff setup with China, signaling the Trump administration wants stability ahead of the November trade truce deadline. In a Fox News interview, Bessent said the status quo is "working pretty well" and called China the biggest source of tariff revenue. Bessent went on to add in a further interview with CNBC that he expects tariff revenues under President Trump to exceed his earlier $300 billion estimate, with the money going to pay down the federal debt rather than rebate checks for Americans. "I've been saying that tariff revenue could be $300 billion this year. I'm going to have to revise that up substantially," Bessent said. Earlier this week, S&P Global Ratings affirmed the US's AA+ long-term credit rating with a stable outlook, saying tariff revenues will help offset the fiscal blow from President Trump's recent tax and spending bill. The agency's view comes despite Trump's sweeping tariffs, which have rattled markets and strained trade ties. Earlier this month, Trump unveiled "reciprocal" tariffs on dozens of US trade partners (which you can see in the graphic below). The biggest negotiations to watch in the coming months are Canada, Mexico, and China.

Walmart CEO: Tariff impact has been 'gradual,' but we expect costs to increase Walmart (WMT) reassured investors that it's continuing to gain market share and generate healthy sales growth. But even though executives said the company didn't see any "dramatic shifts" with consumer behavior last quarter, they did communicate that keeping costs low could become a greater challenge in the second half of the year as tariff-related price increases work their way through inventory. "With regards to our US pricing decisions, given tariff-related cost pressures, we're doing what we said we would do: We're keeping our prices as low as we can for as long as we can," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said on Walmart's earnings call. "The way things have played out so far, the impact of tariffs has been gradual enough that any behavioral adjustments by the customer have been somewhat muted," McMillon continued. "But as we replenish inventory at post-tariff price levels, we've continued to see our costs increase each week, which we expect will continue into the third and fourth quarters."

Economic impact of US tariffs will be key for US rating (Reuters) – S&P Global Ratings' decision to affirm its U.S. credit rating reflected the impact of tariff revenues, but questions remain on the economic outcome of U.S. trade policies that could influence the country's rating in the next few years, the primary analyst on the U.S. said. S&P on Monday affirmed its "AA+" credit rating on the U.S., saying the revenue from President Donald Trump's tariffs has the potential to offset the fiscal hit from his massive tax-cut and spending bill. S&P, which became the first ratings agency to cut the pristine U.S. government rating in 2011, said the outlook on the U.S. rating remains stable. "Outcomes are what's really going to weigh and inform the rating," Lisa Schineller, primary U.S. analyst at S&P Global Ratings, said in an interview. "The outcomes of how you execute the budgetary legislation, how the tariff revenue comes, their combined impact on growth and investment that leads to either better or worse or similar fiscal out-turns, that's our focus," she said.

Oliver Glasner hints at Marc Guehi exit as Crystal Palace chairman explains 'difficult situation'
Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner jokingly claimed he may have to come out of retirement to play center-back if Marc Guehi leaves the club this summer. Guehi, 25, has been heavily linked with a summer transfer, and Liverpool and Newcastle have made inquiries for the England defender. Palace has demanded $60 million for Guehi, but Liverpool values the player closer to $47 million as he's entered the final 12 months of his contract. Palace secured a crucial 1-0 win over Fredrikstad FK on Thursday as the Premier League club attempts to qualify for the UEFA Conference League. Palace is on the verge of losing star midfielder Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, and Glasner hinted that Guehi could also be sold before the transfer deadline. READ MORE: Alisson Becker told only one goalkeeper can compete with him to be Premier League's best READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Slot press conference, Isak and Guehi latest, Elliott 'agrees personal terms' After Thursday's victory, reporters asked Glasner to comment on the club's transfer business. Eze is close to joining Arsenal in a deal worth $90 million, but Glasner awkwardly joked that Guehi could be the next player to leave. "If Marc [Guehi] leaves, maybe I will try my boots because I was a centre-back," Glasner said. "We have to act. It's Crystal Palace's future and we need to add numbers." Glasner has made it clear that he wants to improve the squad, but the club has only made two signings this summer. Ajax defender Borna Sosa was acquired in a deal worth $2.6 million, and Palace also signed goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free transfer from PSV. Palace has retained its star players until now, as Eze is expected to join Arsenal this week. Palace chairman Steve Parish suggested that Guehi could be the next marquee player to leave the club and called it a "difficult situation" due to spending rules. "If Marc Guehi wants to sign a new contract… then he can stay! It's a difficult situation," Parish told Channel 5. "Everyone has to sell players to comply with the rules. That's a situation that we will have to look at in the next days." Palace risks losing Guehi on a free transfer next summer, meaning the club could be forced to cash in on the defender. However, Glasner has been keen to build on last season's success and has shown signs of displeasure with the club hierarchy. It's been a frustrating summer for Palace off the field after a dream end to last season, which saw them beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup for the first time. In winning the competition, Palace should have qualified for the UEFA Europa League, but the club was penalized. As shareholders also owned the French club Lyon, which qualified for the Europa League, UEFA demoted Palace to the Conference League. Palace will still need a broad squad to facilitate domestic and European games, but has neglected business until later in the window. Glasner shared his frustrations with the lack of urgency. With Eze set to leave the club, Palace has 10 days to find a replacement. "We need to add, not numbers; it's easy to add 10 numbers," Glasner said. "We need the right players. It's not surprising for anyone that Ebs [Eze] left, honestly, it's not surprising. Because five days earlier, we couldn't have done anything if he leaves. "We knew that the chances were very high that this will happen and honestly, again, I say it like it is, we missed (the chance) to replace him early enough, that's completely our fault and nobody else's fault."
