Pelicot verdict, government shutdown, the Fed and Iran’s oil
Description
Dominique Pelicot has been found guilty of all charges and sentenced to 20 years. The mass rape trial in France has transformed the victim, Gisele Pelicot, into a stirring symbol of courage and resilience. Donald Trump has disrupted bipartisan efforts to dodge a government shutdown, pressuring Republicans to reject a stopgap bill. The Fed’s rate cut lands as expected, but policymakers are starting to price in expectations of economic changes under the incoming administration. And Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have tightened their grip on
the country’s oil.
