• Oil prices slip as rising inflation boosts dollar, China fears weigh
  [London]-Oil prices fell slightly on Monday,...
  [London]-Oil prices fell slightly on Monday, coming under pressure from a stronger dollar amid signs of resurgent U.S. inflation, while concerns over slowing Chinese growth also dented sentiment.
  
  Losses in crude markets were limited as recent production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia pointed to tighter markets. Crude prices remained close to their strongest levels for the year.
  
  But while oil prices had a strong rally over the past two months, they faced some resistance in recent weeks as markets questioned the outlook for oil demand, amid worsening conditions in China and potentially higher U.S. interest rates.
  
  Brent oil futures fell 0.1% to $86.61 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 0.2% to $83.03 a barrel by 21:58 ET (02:58 GMT).

  In the US, you almost never see law enforcement raid a news outlet’s HQ, but on Friday, police did just that to the Marion County Record in Marion, Kansas, making off with computers, cellphones, and servers. The raid raised alarms from press freedom groups, which called it a brazen attack on the First Amendment. The paper also said that its co-owner, 98-year-old Joan Meyer, died on Saturday “stressed beyond her limits” following a police raid on her house. The chief of the Marion Police Department said law enforcement’s actions will be vindicated once the details are made public.
