As Israel boosts its ties with two Gulf countries, a report has emerged stipulating that another nation is on its way to establish official relations with the Jewish state. Several days ago, it was reported that the Sudanese Sovereignty Council decided to go ahead with the normalisation process, following alleged US pressure that gave Khartoum 24 […]

While bitcoin has gained 3% so far this week, the overall trading environment remains dull with volatility hovering at multi-year lows. Ten-day realized volatility, a historical metric, is now at just 20%, the lowest level for two years. That’s “a low that’s only preceded in Sep & Oct 2018,” the Singapore-based quantitative trading firm QCP Capital said on its Telegram channel. Back in the autumn of 2018, the low-volatility consolidation ended with a big drop to below $6,000. This time, though, options traders are anticipating a breakout on the higher side. “With the rise in one-month implied volatility this past week […]

President Donald Trump is thirsting to hold campaign rallies again. And among his campaign and White House advisers, a possible solution has been discussed that could allow for such MAGA gatherings even in the midst of a global pandemic: the mostly defunct, rural tradition of the drive-in movie theater. According to three people familiar with the preliminary discussions, Trump aides and operatives have spent weeks exploring alternatives to the standard Trump 2020 rally that could allow for social distancing while still allowing for a modest number of attendees. Much of the focus has been on sprawling outdoor venues, such as large […]
