White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Friday that the Dec. 15 deadline is still in place, but Bloomberg reported Agriculture...

China's cooling economy and its elusive trade deal with the U.S. are turning into twin albatrosses around OPEC's neck.
New York-traded West Texas Intermediate crude and London's Brent oil struggled to remain in positive territory on Tuesday on enthusiasm over Saudi-led production cuts amid news that China had targeted slower growth for 2019, without a resolution to its trade war with the United States.
WTI settled down 3 cents at $56.56 per barrel, retreating from a session high of $57.19. The U.S. crude benchmark has struggled to make much headway after a near-3% slide on Friday despite being up about 25% on the year.
Brent, the global oil benchmark, was up 24 cents to $65.91 per barrel by 2:38 PM ET (19:38 GMT). For the year, Brent is up 22%.
