Global Financial Headlines

Oil prices have seen a modest increase, but investor sentiment remains cautious in anticipation of upcoming interest rate decisions and inflation data. Concerns about oversupply and a slowdown in demand growth are also capping these gains. In the US, consumer prices have risen unexpectedly in November, indicating that the Federal Reserve might not pivot to interest rate cuts in the near future. Crypto projects have reportedly lost around $1.7 billion to hackers this year, a significant decrease attributed to enhanced security and increased law enforcement action.
