A proposed price cap on Russian oil could mean importers in the largest emerging markets pay billions of dollars a year less for oil than otherwise, according to US Treasury estimates reported by the Financial Times.

The planned G7 price cap could save the 50 largest emerging market and low-income countries — ranging from Turkey to El Salvador and Thailand — about $160 billion annually in spending on oil imports, the study found.

Swiss bank Credit Suisse was no angel thanks to numerous missteps and a high-profile corporate spying scandal, but the internet decided this weekend to brand the firm with a big scarlet D: The bank’s credit default swaps (CDS)—a security that reflects how much default risk the market sees—surged yesterday after rumors spread throughout the trading floor that the bank was short on cash.

North Korea fired a ballistic missile yesterday that soared over northern Japan before landing in the Pacific Ocean, forcing Japan to warn residents to take cover and causing a temporary suspension of train service in the area. It’s the first time North Korea has sent a missile into Japanese airspace in five years, and it represents a major escalation. Japan’s prime minister strongly condemned the launch, which came after Japan conducted anti-submarine exercises with the US and South Korea last week.
