Russia, US see grounds for financial ties, Russian finance minister says
Dialogue between Russia and the U.S. should continue to find common ground in economics, which should make it easier to discuss political issues, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said, according to an Interfax news agency report on Wednesday.
Asked about a bilateral meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held on Monday at the G20 finance leaders conference in North Carolina, Siluanov said both countries have agreed that there are grounds for developing financial ties despite complications, Interfax reported.
Siluanov, who said he was meeting with Bessent for the first time, said he believed that people from the financial world sometimes may find common understanding faster than politicians.
"So we must always keep talking; we need to continue the dialogue. If we find strong points of common interest - and they do exist - we need to develop them. Then political issues will also be easier to resolve," he said, according to Interfax.

Shipping traffic via Strait of Hormuz stays below 10-day average, data shows
Four commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, down from ten a day earlier and below the 10-day average of around 13, preliminary shipping data showed on Wednesday.
The four vessels that transited were one very large crude carrier, one Panamax tanker, one Kamsarmax carrier and one intermediate tanker, initial data from shiptracker Kpler showed at 0200 GMT.
The figures could change as some ships typically switch off transponders during the voyage.

Oil up nearly 1% as US and Iran trade fresh strikes
Oil prices rose nearly 1% in early trade on Wednesday, extending the previous session's surge, as concerns over supply disruption intensified after the U.S. and Iran exchanged strikes overnight, dimming hopes for a quick easing of tensions in the Middle East.
Brent crude futures rose 87 cents, or 0.92%, to $95.52 a barrel by 0008 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed 80 cents, or 0.89%, to $91.02. Both contracts soared more than $4 on Tuesday, marking Brent's largest gain since July 24 and WTI's largest since July 23.
The United States said it had launched a series of airstrikes against targets in Iran overnight, prompting an Iranian response, in the most serious escalation of the conflict between the two countries in weeks.
"The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region," U.S. Central Command said in a post on X, referring to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Iran-US war live news updates: Iran strikes US bases in Erbil, Bahrain as Tehran retaliates for American attacks
The attacks came after the US military said it had completed its latest strikes against Iranian targets, while President Donald Trump warned of further action if Tehran retaliated.
Iranian state media reported that the IRGC had struck US bases in Erbil with missiles and drones. Tehran also said it had targeted US forces at a Bahrain air base.
The latest Iranian attacks followed a fresh round of US strikes on Iran. The US military said its latest operation had targeted Iranian military assets, including air-defence systems, radar stations and maritime targets.
Explosions were also reported over the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba as Iran said it was retaliating against the US strikes.
Iranian forces also warned that the American attacks would have consequences for the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC said US attacks would “tighten the lock” on the strategically vital waterway, through which a major share of global oil supplies normally passes.
