🇺🇸🇨🇳 US is considering lifting some sanctions on China to restart the bilateral cooperation on combating the fentanyl crisis that claimed more than 105,000 lives in the US in 2022, US media on Monday.
China continues to stand firm that any dialogue will be possible only after the sanctions are lifted. Beijing abandoned cooperation with US on narcotics a year ago due to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial trip to Taiwan, which brought bilateral relations to an all-time low.

💸 Goldman Sachs predicts 'sizable deficit' in oil production may lead to price increase
The investment firm expects Brent crude oil to increase to $86 a barrel by year's end, up from the current price of just over $80.
One reason for the deficit, according to Goldman’s head of oil research Daan Struyven, is a slowing of the increase of oil production in the US, which will slow to a sequential pace of 200 barrels a day by the end of the year. Struyven also pointed to the number of declining oil rigs in the US, which has slumped to 530, the lowest number for the nation since March 2022.
