Sunak took power on Tuesday with a promise to fix the mistakes of his predecessor and stabilise the economy, warning Britain faced a "profound economic crisis". Foreign minister James Cleverly said on Wednesday the government's fiscal plan, scheduled for Oct. 31 and hotly anticipated by markets, could be delayed, suggesting a little more time might be needed to spell out the details. The pound was last up 1.16% against the dollar at $1.1601, and was 0.41% higher versus the euro at 86.500 pence per euro. "Things are certainly starting to look a lot more constructive for the pound," said Michael Brown, head of market intelligence at Caxton.

SELLERS' MARKET NO MOREExisting home sales fell 1.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.71 million units last month, the NAR said. Outside of the short-lived plunge during the spring of 2020, when the economy was reeling from the first wave of COVID-19, this was the lowest sales level since September 2012. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast sales would decrease to a rate of 4.70 million units. As a result, he expects the sales rate to decline further in the months ahead, perhaps to as low as 4.5 million annually, which would be roughly 4% to 5% lower than the current sales pace. "We don't look for claims to fall much below current levels, but we don't look for a significant rise in claims or unemployment either until we enter a recession in 2023."

When Congress passed the Helms Amendment, only six of those countries allowed abortion in circumstances beyond saving a woman’s life. And every year, more than 16,000 of the women and girls who have received these unsafe abortions die from more serious complications. President Biden also has the power to mitigate some of the harms of the Helms Amendment. His administration could also ensure that clinics in countries where abortion is legal understand that U.S. rules allow them to offer abortion information and counseling. The Helms Amendment is an act of international interference and overreach, and it has to end.

Modernizarea Parcului Urban de Autobuze a fost motiv de ceartă în Consiliul Municipal Chișinău. Primăria a propus majorarea capitalului social a întreprinderii, pentru ca instituția să poată cumpăra mijloace de transport la mâna a doua. Unii consilieri i-au acuzat pe autorii proiectului că ar încearca să se eschiveze de la procedura de licitație, însă, până la urmă, documentul a fost aprobat cu 32 de voturi. După mai multe dezbateri, proiectul a fost supus votului, chiar dacă unii consilieri mai aveau întrebări. La aceeași ședință, s-a decis procurarea a două troleibuze din Italia, produse în 2014, pentru Regia Transport Electric.
