There could be an effect on industries when Donald Trump announces his choice for running mate. Trump is the likely Republican presidential nominee. One possible running mate, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, whose state makes a lot of oil and gas, could help Trump carry out the policies that the former president has long supported when it comes to fossil fuels. That’s what Jeff Hauser, founder and executive director of the Revolving Door Project, an organisation that keeps an eye on how corporations affect the executive branch, says. Hauser told MarketWatch that Burgum would not be focused on setting the…

After last week’s disastrous TV debate, President Joe Biden’s campaign for re-election looks like it’s hanging by a thread. Investors may be wondering if a change at the top of the Democratic ticket would affect the stock market. Start by looking at how the market has responded to changes in the race between Biden and Trump, the Republican candidate who is running against him. Mr. Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, said over the phone that the market has been moving in the same direction as President Trump’s chances of winning in November.

When people in Britain woke up on Friday to a huge victory for the U.K. Labour Party after 14 years of Conservative rule, there was one big loss that stood out. In 2022, Liz Truss was the country’s short-lived prime minister. She lost her seat in South West Norfolk to Labour candidate Terry Jermy by about 630 votes. According to the news, she wasn’t expected to have to deal with much opposition since she had a huge majority before, 24,180 votes. The Financial Times said she was the first leader of the government to lose their seat in almost 90…

On July 4, U.S. citizens celebrated Independence Day. It looked like the country that the U.S. broke away from would choose its own freedom from 14 years of Conservative Party rule. Many people think that after the early election that Tory prime minister Rishi Sunak called, he will give the keys to 10 Downing St. to Keir Starmer, who is the leader of Labour. There are many ways to judge a leader’s time in office, and stock-market performance is one of the most common ones. Of course, there is a big catch: that correlation is not the same thing as…

After more than a decade in opposition, Britain’s Labour Party won a landslide victory on Friday. However, the party now has the huge task of bringing hope back to a nation and an economy that have been stagnant. Later today, Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, will become prime minister. He will lead his party back to power less than five years after its worst loss in almost 100 years. In the cruel dance of British politics, he will take over at 10 Downing Street hours after the votes are counted on Thursday, as Rishi Sunak, the leader…

Experts say that the U.S. economy shouldn’t have created so many new jobs this year. But many companies have been hiring, which has helped the economy grow steadily. Are we about to finally break the dam? For Friday morning’s U.S. jobs report, here’s what you should keep an eye on. What we expect The economy is expected to add 200,000 jobs in June, which is less than the 272,000 jobs that were expected the month before. As expected, hiring would slow down, but even so, this kind of growth would still be pretty good compared to the past. In the…

Long-awaited rules have been finalised by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department for how brokers can keep track of the money crypto investors use their exchanges to make. Treasury Department officials say that the rules that were announced on Friday are good for investors because they can trust the exchanges to keep track of the data and send it to the investors and the IRS. They added that this is better than trying to figure it out on their own or paying someone to do it. It’s also good for the IRS because they will be able to…

Shares of Nio Inc. went up on Monday after the company and others in the same industry reported good EV delivery data for June and the second quarter. The data also gave shares of Tesla Inc. a boost. They were on track for their longest winning streak in a year, and this was before this week’s sales data came out. Nio said it sent out 21,209 EVs in June, which is 98.1% more than the same time last year. 11,581 sport-utility vehicles and 9,628 sedans were delivered. 57,373 EVs were delivered in the second quarter, which is 143.9% more than…

This week, Tesla Inc. is likely to report deliveries, which are a proxy for sales. Wall Street thinks that the electric vehicle maker will have sold fewer cars than it did during the same time last year. Tesla TSLA, +6.05% doesn’t say exactly when its production and deliveries report will be released, but it’s usually a few days after the end of the quarter. It will also decide at that time when its quarterly earnings report will be released, which will probably be two weeks later. The EV maker also doesn’t report monthly numbers like some other U.S. automakers do;…

After a debate that made it more likely for Donald Trump to beat Democratic incumbent Joe Biden in the November election, more people are interested in a group of stocks that did well after Trump won the election in 2016. Morgan Stanley equity strategists led by Mike Wilson wrote in a note to clients on Monday that conversations with clients after Thursday’s debate “point to some appetite to rotate to 2016’s largely value/cyclical playbook.” What did clients say? Some people also thought that interest rates were going to go up. The market’s performance on Friday supported that, according to the…
