  The Gulf country hosting COP28 this week reportedly wanted to kill two birds with one climate summit: advancing environmental goals and selling fossil fuels.
  
  COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber, who’s also the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), allegedly planned to propose energy deals to international leaders involved in the UN conference, according to leaked docs seen by the Centre for Climate Reporting (CCR) and the BBC. His critics are flabbergasted by what seems to be a brazen conflict of interest.

  Yesterday, on what would have been the final day of the cease-fire, Israel and Hamas decided to keep their truce in place for another two days, during which Hamas is expected to release an additional 20 hostages while Israel frees more Palestinian prisoners. So far, 69 of the 240 hostages Hamas captured in its Oct. 7 attack have been freed, including 11 women and children yesterday, and 117 people have been released from Israeli prisons. Though Israel says it remains dedicated to ending Hamas’s rule in Gaza, the extension has raised hopes for a longer break in the fighting that allows more aid into the area.

• Dow Jones, S&P 500 end lower, hitting pause on November rally

  U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday, taking a breather from a powerful rally sweeping through the stock market in November. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA shed about 56 points, or 0.2%, to end near 35,333. The S&P 500 Index SPX fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed about 0.1% lower. U.S. stocks have staged a powerful rally this month, fueled by a sharp retreat in benchmark borrowing costs. The 10-year Treasury yield TMUBMUSD10Y fell to 4.388% on Monday, the lowest in about two months, after briefly trading above 5% in October.
  
  A major source of concern has been that higher borrowing costs might help the Federal Reserve tame inflation, but also derail the U.S. economy. With that in mind, investors will be keeping a close eye on economic data due this week, including the personal consumption expenditure index due on Thursday, a favored inflation gauge of Fed officials. The Dow was up 6.9% on the month through Monday, while the S&P 500 was 8.5% higher and the Nasdaq was on pace for a 10.8% monthly gain, according to FactSet.
