Oil Posts Biggest Weekly Gain Since July on U.S. Fed Reassurance - Bloomberg
Oil Posts Biggest Weekly Gain Since July on U.S. Fed Reassurance - Bloomberg:
Oil posted the biggest weekly gain since July as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell sought to calm fears of a possible recession following a lackluster jobs report that was seen as dimming the demand outlook.
Futures in New York rose 0.4% Friday, erasing earlier losses. Powell said the most likely outlook for the U.S. and world economy is continued moderate growth, but the central bank was monitoring “significant risks.” The market also drew support from a U.S. report that showed the rig count had declined for the third week, implying a slowdown in domestic oil production.
“The oil market and equities market are reacting positively to remarks by Powell that the Fed is not expecting or forecasting a recession,” said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.

Deutsche regulators examine supervisory board member for conflict of interests: sources - Reuters
Deutsche regulators examine supervisory board member for conflict of interests: sources - Reuters:
Deutsche Bank’s (DBKGn.DE) regulators are examining whether a new supervisory board member, former UBS (UBSG.S) manager Juerg Zeltner, is suitable for the job, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Regulators are looking at whether Zeltner’s position on Deutsche’s board would be a conflict of interest because he is also the chief executive officer of KBL European Private Bankers (KBL epb), a business that overlaps with Deutsche’s.
Zeltner, appointed to Deutsche’s board in August, will represent the interests of Qatar’s royal family - a top shareholder in the German lender. KBL is also controlled by the same family.
