On January 30, 2026, markets saw an unexpected move: despite early talk that proposed U.S. tariffs would push the dollar higher, the currency moved in the opposite direction. The reversal highlights that initial policy talk does not always translate into the anticipated exchange-rate response. The episode underscores the difficulty of currency forecasting. Early assumptions that trade policy shifts automatically bolster a currency proved unreliable in this instance, illustrating how market outcomes can defy straightforward predictions — a reminder that foreign-exchange forecasts, like other forecasts, carry substantial uncertainty. #USD #FX #tariffs #FiatNews

U.S. oil majors ExxonMobil and Chevron reported year‑on‑year declines in fourth-quarter 2025 profits, but both beat analysts' expectations. Company statements attributed the outperformance largely to cost‑saving measures implemented during the period. ExxonMobil additionally noted lower production costs in the Permian Basin and in Guyana, which helped offset weaker margins and contributed to its results. Chevron likewise pointed to its efficiency initiatives as a key factor in surpassing estimates. The reports highlight how operational savings and lower extraction costs can help major producers navigate softer quarterly earnings. Investors and market watchers will weigh these results against broader energy market trends and future production plans. #ExxonMobil #Chevron #PermianBasin #Guyana #Oil #FiatNews
