Global Financial Headlines

Pascal Gothia, the CEO and chair of hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger, announced a 12% staff reduction. This decision attributes to the tumultuous 2022 bear market and subsequent collapse of firms, including FTX and Voyager Digital. The Bank of England is anticipated to expedite interest rate cuts, especially in contrast to the Federal Reserve, prompted by rising unemployment rates. Crude prices dipped after reports hinted at Russia's potential lift on diesel export bans. This comes as Russia and Saudi Arabia persist with voluntary oil production cuts, a factor that previously boosted crude prices.
