Bitcoin Rebounds, EU Finalizes Deal to Phase Out Russian Gas | The Opening Trade 12/3 (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Bitcoin hit a two-week high and extended a tentative rebound Wednesday. The digital-assets market remains on shaky ground after a bruising selloff that began in early October.
Meanwhile in Europe, natural gas futures were lower as the European Union announced they've reached a deal to phase out Russian gas faster than originally planned. In corporate news, Zara parent company Inditex saw November sales rise indicating strong consumer spending resilience. Shares in the world's largest listed retailer by sales revenue gained by as much as 8.3% in early trading in Madrid.
The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards and Guy Johnson. (Source: Bloomberg)...

Last Friday Trump said a deal would involve “some swapping of territories” with reports suggesting that it would see Ukraine ceding Russia the parts of Donbas that it still controls.
