In a recent research note, experts at Goldman Sachs were upbeat on the pound, commenting that sterling "tops the list" in the G-10 basket of major currency crosses. The analysts are sticking with their bet that sterling will rise against the dollar , with a target of 1.31. "Combined with still-high rates [this] could attract capital flows into GBP after many years of being a structural sell," the UBS analysts added. She added, "The tone of many of the policies announced by the new Labour government in recent days are market friendly ... The appearance of order in the U.K. government coupled with an expectation of a warmer relationship with the EU should provide for some optimism."

☆ 'Pulsating' mechanized assaults in Ukraine may reflect the limit of Russia's offensive abilities, war analysts say
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Conflict analysts say these armored assaults are constrained to specific areas and may reflect the limits of Moscow's offensive power and inability to execute a large-scale, multi-directional offensive operation. AdvertisementThese "periodic and pulsating Russian mechanized assaults likely represent the extent of Russia's current offensive capacity, and Russia is unlikely to mount a distinct new summer offensive operation due to material and manpower constraints," the analysts wrote in an assessment on Wednesday. Photo by Diego Herrera Carcedo/Anadolu via Getty ImagesThe analysts said Russia has struggled throughout the war to stage multiple large-scale offensive operations simultaneously. In late June, ISW noted that "Russian forces continue to prioritize gradual advances through consistent grinding assaults over operationally significant gains through rapid maneuver." The analysts said that Russia aims to "win a war of attrition against Ukrainian forces," exhausting its manpower and materiel.

But that wasn't the case for Alev Kelter, an American rugby sevens player who scored on Tuesday to help Team USA win its first medal in the sport. She'd never even touched a rugby ball, but she thought ice hockey may have given her the right mentality for rugby. In 2016, just two years after picking up a rugby ball, Kelter was among the first rugby sevens players to compete in the Olympics.

A Harris presidency would benefit the renewable energy industry, according to Amanda Rebello, head of Xtrackers ETF sales at DWS. That's primarily because a Harris presidency would result in more stringent fiscal policy than a Trump one.

First Solar is well positioned for growth despite the U.S. election uncertainty that has hit the company's stock as well as the broader renewable industry in recent weeks, according to analysts. The solar module manufacturer's stock was up 5.7% on Wednesday. First Solar is one of the biggest beneficiaries in the renewable energy space from production tax credits under the IRA. While election risk will weigh on First Solar's stock, policy uncertainty tends to be a tailwind for the company, Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee told clients in a note. China tariffs could strengthen First Solar's competitive position and pricing power in the U.S., analyst Andrew Percoco told clients.

Canada have qualified for the quarterfinals of the Olympic women’s soccer competition — despite the defending champions being deducted six points for spying on opponents earlier in the group stage. Canada were deducted six points by FIFA for flying a drone over opponents New Zealand’s training sessions ahead of the Games, and a wider spying scandal subsequently emerged. The points deduction was handed down ahead of the second group fixture against France, leaving Canada on minus three points in Group A and on the cusp of elimination.

☆ Oil prices slip on China demand concerns, waning Middle East worries
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Oil prices slipped in early Asian trading on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, over concerns about Chinese demand and as the market shrugged off the risk of conflict escalating in the Middle East. Brent crude oil futures fell by 12 cents or 0.15% to $79.78 a barrel by 0033 GMT. The market is watching an upcoming meeting of China's top decision-making body, the Politburo, expected to take place this week, that could elicit further economic policy support. But expectations are limited after the Third Plenum, a key policy meeting in mid-July, largely reiterated existing economic policy goals and failed to lift market sentiment. Oil fell 2% in the previous trading session after Israel signaled that its response to a Hezbollah rocket strike in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday would be calculated to avoid dragging the Middle East into an all-out war.

In an email sent March 20, the performance analyst, whose name was redacted from FIFA’s report, contacted Priestman about preparing for Olympic opponents. FIFA’s decision concerned Canada Soccer’s actions at the Olympics only, leaving open room for additional punishment for any wider system of spying. Before Priestman’s suspension from FIFA, she was suspended through the Olympics and Canada Soccer said it was investigating both the men’s and women’s soccer programs widely. Canada Soccer told FIFA on Saturday that Priestman’s references to spying in the men’s program referenced a specific person.

But few believe he truly won, and he has not produced a vote count that verifies the result. The opposition says its candidate scored at least 3.9 million more votes than Maduro did.
