Oil prices set to snap two-day winning streak ahead of Fed decision

Traders kept bets that the Fed will begin an anticipated. series of rate of interest decrease with a half-percentage-point. move downward on Wednesday, an expectation that might itself put. pressure on central lenders to deliver just that.

Hezbollah assured to retaliate against Israel after the. pagers detonated across Lebanon on Tuesday, eliminating at least. eight individuals and wounding almost 3,000 others, including. fighters and Iran’s envoy to Beirut.
