King Harald, Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon welcome Germany’s President to Norway
The Kingdom of Norway and the German Republic have developed close relations in recent decades, both through economic cooperation and military cooperation through NATO. King Harald and Queen Sonja as well as Crown Prince Haakon have received the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife at the Royal Palace in Oslo as they began a visit to the country. The German president’s two-day official visit to Norway began on November 4th 2021. After the audience at the Palace, the Royal Couple invited the Presidential Couple to lunch, where the President of the Norwegian Parliament, Eva Kristin Hansen, and Norway’s Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Marte Mjøs Persen, were among the guests. Crayfish were served as an appetizer, while the main course consisted of turbot with carrot, pumpkin, celery and potatoes with red wine sauce. For dessert, the guests were given mullets with liquorice and white chocolate. The Crown Prince was on board the German naval vessel FGS Berlin on the same morning. The German military ship is in Oslo in connection with President Steinmeier’s visit. Crown Prince Haakon was given a tour of the German supply ship accompanied by the Presidential couple and Norway’s Chief of Defence, Eirik Kristoffersen.

Barclays subpoenaed by U.S. Virgin Islands over connections to late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein
The U.S. Virgin Islands served a subpoena to Barclays in the U.S. for a wealth of documents related to deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, and it is set to issue a similar one in the United Kingdom, CNBC confirmed on Friday. News of the subpoenas came four days after Barclays announced its CEO, Jes Staley, would quit following an investigation into his relationship with Epstein.
A Barclays spokesperson confirmed the British bank was served a subpoena in the U.S. and expects to receive one in the U.K., but did not say whether they were related to Epstein. Barclays was served in New York in February on behalf of the attorney general of the U.S. territory, which previously sued Epstein’s estate over allegations the late investor sexually abused women and young girls on his private islands there. “Barclays has already provided its response to this subpoena and complied with its obligations,” a spokesperson for the bank told CNBC. The Virgin Islands “is now in the process of serving a similar subpoena on Barclays in the UK and Barclays will respond to that subpoena once it is served,” the spokesperson said. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office for the district of the Virgin Islands did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the subpoenas.

Prince Charles to visit Barbados to mark republic's birth
Prince Charles, heir to the throne, will travel to Barbados to mark the Caribbean island's transition to a republic which entails the removal of Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.
A former colony that gained independence in 1966, Barbados wants to remove the Queen, Charles's mother, as its head of state and become a republic. "HRH The Prince of Wales will visit Barbados to mark Barbados’s transition to a Republic within the Commonwealth," Clarence House said in a statement.
Last month, Barbados elected its first ever president to replace the Queen.
Sandra Mason will be sworn in as president on Nov. 30, the country's 55th anniversary of independence from Britain. Prime Minister Mia Mottley has said the time has come to leave behind the island's colonial past. Clarence House said Mottley invited Charles, as the future head of the Commonwealth, to be a guest of honour at the events celebrating the birth of the new republic. "His Royal Highness will also undertake a short program of engagements in Barbados," Clarence House said.
First seized by England in 1625, Barbados stayed in British hands unlike other Caribbean islands that were fought over by the Spanish, British, Dutch, French and Americans. British colonialists used the land for sugar cane production and the island became a focus of the brutal transatlantic slave trade, as plantation owners shipped over captured Africans as slaves to work in the fields. According to the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, by the 1670s enslaved Africans outnumbered whites by a ratio of almost 10 to one. Many Africans did not survive the horrendous sea passage to the Caribbean and they endured appalling conditions on the plantations. Meanwhile slave owners became enormously rich. Slavery was abolished in Barbados in 1834, and full freedom from slavery was celebrated in 1838. Today's population of under 300,000 is overwhelmingly of African descent.

Saudi Aramco Raises Oil Prices Sharply After OPEC+ Defies Biden
Saudi Arabia sent another bullish jolt into the oil market a day after OPEC+ ignored Biden’s calls for more oil, raising the official selling price of all the nation’s crudes to all buyers.
Aramco increased pricing for its key Arab Light grade of crude for Asian customers in December by $1.40 to $2.70. The state producer had been expected to raise it by between 50 cents and $1 a barrel, according to a survey last week. The cartel ignored calls from U.S. President Joe Biden to speed up the pace at which it’s raising output following last year’s Covid-triggered cuts. Instead, OPEC+ stuck with its plan to hike daily crude output by 400,000 barrels next month.
Analysts expect the oil market to remain under-supplied over the rest of the year following the decision by OPEC+, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia. The continued supply curbs from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and partners have helped oil prices surge 60% this year to more than $80 a barrel. This month, BP Plc said global oil demand had surpassed 100 million barrels a day for the first time since the pandemic started. Saudi Arabia sends more than 60% of its crude exports to Asia, with China, South Korea, Japan and India the biggest buyers. Most Middle Eastern countries set monthly prices as a premium or discount to a benchmark. Aramco’s OSPs serve as a bellwether for oil markets and often lead the pricing trend in the region.

US Credit Card Debt Soars Back Over $1 Trillion As Pandemic "Excess Savings" Run Out
When looking at the latest debit and credit card spending data out of Bank of America two weeks ago, one thing stood out: usage of credit cards among the lower income cohort has spiked with a 23% growth rate over a 2-year period, up from the summer average of 15%. This surge in credit card usage came at the expense of debit card spending growth which has slowed notably over the last several weeks. In turn, this was the result of various emergency stimulus programs expiring at the start of September, which meant far less cash in various deposit/checking accounts, and also meant the go to funding source would be America's favorite: credit cards.
Moments ago, the latest Consumer credit data confirmed this, when the Federal Reserve reported that in September total consumer credit soared by $29.9BN, almost double $16BN expected, and well more than 100% higher compared to August. And sure enough, after shrinking for 2 consecutive months, credit card debt soared by just shy of $10 billion - the second highest this year- and pushed the total revolving credit outstanding back over $1 trillion for the first time since April 2020. As for non-revolving credit, it always rises and September was no difference as debt used to pay primarily for cars and college, jumped by $20.1 billion to a new record high of $3.357 trillion. And yes, drilling into the latest student and car loan number shows that, sure enough, we just hit another all time high.
In short, after a period of relative quiet when revolving credit shrank and then barely grew in the aftermath of the covid pandemic, it now appears that things are largely back to normal with credit cards serving as the primary source of discretionary funding for most Americans. We bring this up just in case you hear from some macrotourist that America's middle (and lower) class still has trillions in "excess savings" left, which they clearly don't as we explained two weeks ago...
