Bullish bets on UK assets take a knock as budget looms
Investors are retreating from bullish bets on Britain as hopes of its new Labour leadership reviving growth and investment are overshadowed by concern about the debt-laden economy and the government hiking taxes in this month's budget. After sizzling summer rallies, sterling has faltered and UK stocks, which bounced back sharply from depressed valuations this year, are turning lower. The sentiment shift comes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer and finance minister Rachel Reeves struggled to balance their ambitious growth messages with gloomy assessments of UK finances, and as economic trends have deteriorated.

Exclusive-BP drops oil output target in strategy reset, sources say
BP has abandoned a target to cut oil and gas output by 2030 as CEO Murray Auchincloss scales back the firm's energy transition strategy to regain investor confidence, three sources with knowledge of the matter said. BP scaled back the target in February last year to a 25% reduction, which would leave it producing 2 million barrels per day at the end of the decade, as investors focused on near-term returns rather than the energy transition. The London-listed company is now targeting several new investments in the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico to boost its oil and gas output, the sources said.

Trauma of Oct 7 attack still hangs over Israel as war spreads
While much of the world has focused on Israel's military response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, and the devastation it has caused, Israelis' lives in the past year have been overshadowed by the trauma of that day. The attack was the worst disaster in Israel's history, leaving the country reeling from the failure of its often vaunted military to protect its people. "I think Israel is a country that is still grieving, that I don't think was fully able to go through the grief and process what happened on Oct. 7," said Hen Mazzig, a senior fellow at the Tel Aviv Institute, a pro-Israel advocacy group.
