  Higher capital spending plans announced by US shale operators for 2023 are unlikely to translate into significant gains in US oil and natural gas production and profits, due to constraints caused by cost inflation and maturing shale fields. Analysts predict a challenging environment for oil and gas producers this year and increased dealmaking activity, as companies resort to acquiring rivals to expand fast-depleting drilling inventories.

  U.S. stocks booked modest gains on Monday after recording their worst week of the year as jitters about inflation and interest rates rattled investors.
  
  The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 72 points, or 0.2%, ending near 32,889, according to preliminary figures, while the S&P 500 gained about 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed up 0.6%.
  
  Investors attributed the slight bounce in stocks on Monday to an easing of Treasury bond yields. The 10-year rate was at 3.921% Monday, while the 2-year was at 4.791%, still near the highest since 2007.
