The Biden administration plan to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to both pushes down oil prices for consumers and support longer-term demand for producers.
The US President said last week that gasoline prices are too high and that he would have more to say about lowering the costs this week. To stabilise oil prices, which rose before falling last week and steadying on Monday, it is also preparing to sell about an additional 40 million barrels of oil.
Such actions on the commodity market may stimulate the decline in the prices of WTI ($OIL.WTI) and Brent ($OIL.U2) in the next few days.

**Currency pair $GBP/USD drops to 1.1180 on hot UK inflation**
$GBP/USD fails to cheer British inflation data, extends pullback from key resistance line.
The reason is that UK CPI rose to 10.1% YoY in September versus 10% expected, 9.9% prior.
Based on this data, as well as on the technical analysis, the $GBP/USD currency pair may continue to pull back from the short-term critical resistance, renewing its intraday low of around 1.1180.

**Elon Musk plans to cut 75% of Twitter staff if he takes over company**
Elon Musk told prospective investors that he plans to eliminate nearly 75% of Twitter’s ($TWTR) staff as part of his deal to take over the social media company. Job cuts are expected in the coming months no matter who owns the company, according to the report, which cited interviews and documents.
The company said in July that it had already “significantly slowed hiring” amid a wider economic downturn the tech industry, where many companies have announced recent hiring freezes and layoff.
The layoffs will undoubtedly have an impact on Twitter’s daily operations, including its ability to moderate harmful content and combat security issues. Therefore, this may cause increased volatility in the company’s share price.
