T-Mobile bought most of UScellular for $4.4 billion. The third-largest mobile carrier in the US now owns what was the fifth-largest, giving T-Mobile 4 million new customers and access to UScellular’s wireless operations. T-Mobile aims to improve coverage in rural areas, where many of UScellular’s customers live. The deal, which follows T-Mobile’s acquisition of Sprint in 2020, could kick off another round of consolidation in the telecommunications industry, analysts say, as the number of major players dwindles. T-Mobile’s latest purchase is expected to close next year.

US crude prices soared by nearly 3% in Tuesday’s trading

Oil prices have been trading rangebound for the fourth consecutive week, staying within the $81-83 per barrel range for Brent, as priced-in expectations of OPEC+ maintaining production curbs have failed to lift sentiment any higher. While improving consumption figures from the US and an increasingly bullish picture for hurricanes in the US Gulf Coast provide some medium-term hope for oil bulls, the macro outlook is still weak and the prospect of Fed interest rate cuts in June is getting slimmer.
Prices did jump today, as Benchmark U.S. crude oil for July delivery rose $2.11to $79.83 per barrel Tuesday. Brent crude for July delivery rose $1.12to $84.22 per barrel.
Wholesale gasoline for June delivery rose 3 centsto $2.51 a gallon. June heating oilrose 6 cents to $2.47 a gallon. June natural gasrose 7 cents to $2.59 per 1,000 cubic feet.
