The Disney Genie service will be introduced to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California this fall.</p>\n<p>As part of the change, a new, paid program is set to replace the free FastPass program at the theme parks.</p>\n<p>FastPass was first introduced in 1999, and it essentially allowed visitors to Walt Disney World and Disneyland to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions for free. In reality, FastPass was a virtual queue system: Guests would get a ticket they could use at a reserved time to bypass the regular stand-by line, but essentially they were waiting in a virtual line.</p>\n<p>Now to take advantage of those same perks, Disney theme park visitors will have to pay as much as $80 per day for a family of four.</p>\n<p>\"While the FASTPASS, FastPass+ and Disney MaxPass services will be retired, we're incredible excited about the flexibility and choices Disney Genie service provides,\" the company said in a blog post announcing the changes.</p>\n<p>Here's what Disney theme park travelers need to know:</p>\n<p>Say hello to Genie+ and Lightning Lanes</p>\n<p>There will be an optional, paid add-on to the standard Disney Genie service, called Genie+, that will enable Disney theme park visitors to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions. At Disney World, the service will cost $15 per day per person, while at Disneyland it will cost $20 per day per person.</p>\n<p>There will be more than 40 attractions available for Genie+ bookings at Walt Disney World, and more than 15 attractions at Disneyland. The list of attractions has not yet been released, but Disney said it will be similar to what was previously available through the old FastPass system.</p>\n<p>The FastPass lines at popular attractions will be known as Lightning Lanes. To skip the line, guests will need to reserve a time using the Disney Genie mobile app. They will be able to start making reservations beginning at 7 a.m. the day of their visit to a Walt Disney World park or when the parks open at Disneyland.</p>\n<p>Guests will be allowed to have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Genie+ reservation at a time -- once a reservation is used, they will be able to make another. Visitors who visit more than one Disney park in a day will be able to use Genie+ at any park they visit.</p>\n<p>The Genie+ program will come with some perks. At Disneyland, guests who purchase Genie+ will also get complimentary downloads of pictures taken through PhotoPass, such as photos taken on rides. At Walt Disney World, Genie+ purchasers will be able to try out augmented reality technology on their phones. The service also comes with complimentary audio experiences at both the California and Florida resorts.</p>\n<p>Skipping the line on some rides is going to cost people extra -- even if they purchase Genie+</p>\n<p>The most popular attractions at Disney theme parks won't be part of Genie+. To skip the lines for these, visitors will need to pay separately, though Disney has not yet said how much the perk will cost.</p>\n<p>This will be the case for up to two attractions at each park. Disney has not yet released a full list of which attractions this will be the case for, but examples they cited include the upcoming Remy's Ratatouille adventure at Epcot, Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.</p>\n<p>These reservations will be able to be booked starting at 7 a.m. for visitors staying at Walt Disney World hotels. Other visitors at Walt Disney World, and everyone visiting Disneyland, will otherwise be able to make to reservations when the parks open each day.</p>\n<p>As with the rides on Genie+, traditional stand-by lines (or virtual queues) will be available for guests who don't wish to pay for the upgrade. Guests can also purchase Lightning Lane access for these rides and forego Genie+ if they so choose.</p>\n<p>Some travel experts believe that the added cost of these perks, which were essentially free in the past, could upset some guests, including annual passholders. The cost of Genie+ is comparable to the cost of MaxPass, a paid FastPass program that was introduced at Disneyland Resort in recent years.</p>\n<p>\"If you're already paying $150 a day to get into the park, to tell somebody that you've got to pay another $100 for your family to get on the best rides in the park -- that's going to be a hard message to sell,\" said Len Testa, president of travel website Touring Plans.</p>\n<p>The calculus for families could come down to the value of paying for the ability to skip lines -- and that will depend on ride capacity. People with Genie+ reservations will have priority over people in the regular stand-by line. If Disney chooses to allow up to 70% of a ride's capacity to be set aside for Genie+, that could make it a better value, since that would means longer stand-by lines. (The company said that how the capacity divvies up will be similar to what was in place with the previous FastPass programs.)</p>\n<p>\"This shouldn't be that bad because fewer people are going to use paid Fast Pass than they would free Fast Pass,\" Testa said. \"If they charge $20 per FastPass, relatively few people are going to buy that. So, it won't impact the standby line as much.\"</p>\n<p>'This is something that will be copied and passed around'</p>\n<p>Even for visitors who decide against paying to skip lines, Disney argues that the new Disney Genie service will help them avoid spending too much time just waiting in lines.</p>\n<p>The new service takes advantage of machine learning technology and algorithms to track where crowds are in the theme parks and then make recommendations to visitors. Visitors can select in advance which attractions they most want to visit, and it will notify them of when they should head to that ride based on the wait times in the park. Guests will also be able to check forecasts for wait times on rides for later in the day based on crowd sizes.</p>\n<p>The Disney Genie services will be built into the existing apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Elsewhere, economic data on consumer confidence is also due for release.</p>\n<p>The Senate is expected to vote Monday on a procedural motion over the legislation passed by the House of Representatives last week. That bill included a plan to temporarily fund the government through early December, and came alongside a measure to raise the government debt ceiling through December 2022.</p>\n<p>The latter point has been an area of contention for Senate Republicans, who are only narrowly outnumbered by Democratic lawmakers in both chambers and who have threatened to block the bill in its current form.</p>\n<p>Senate Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have suggested that Democratic lawmakers should use the budget reconciliation process to raise the debt ceiling without Republican support. McConnell has, however, supported a short-term government funding bill that excludes a debt ceiling suspension.</p>\n<p>\"If they [the Democrats] want to tax, borrow and spend historic sums of money without our input, they’ll have to raise the debt limit without our help. This is the reality,” McConnell said on the Senate floor last week.</p>\n<p>Democratic lawmakers, for their part, have called for the move to raise the debt limit be bipartisan to prevent the government from defaulting on its obligations. The Treasury Department has warned that the U.S. could default on its debts as soon as October in absence of congressional action.</p>\n<p>\"The U.S. has always paid its bills on time, but the overwhelming consensus among economists and Treasury officials of both parties is that failing to raise the debt limit would produce widespread economic catastrophe,\" Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week.</p>\n<p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also warned of the consequences of a failure to raise the debt ceiling during his post-FOMC meeting press conference last week.</p>\n<p>\"It's just very important that the debt ceiling be raised in a timely fashion so that the United States can pay its bills when and as they come due. That's a critically important thing,\" he said. \"The failure to do that is something that could result in severe reactions, severe damage to the economy and to the financial markets ... no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> should assume that the Fed or anyone else can protect the markets or the economy in the event of a failure.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76c6a59b9c059b09d9267c8298e0b837\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">A dead Elm tree is removed on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)ASSOCIATED PRESS</p>\n<p>Amid the standoff, the Office of Management and Budget began warning federal agencies last week to prepare for a potential government shutdown. The reminder served as a standard warning one week out from Congress's deadline to reach an agreement to at least temporarily continue funding the government.</p>\n<p>Though leaders of both political parties have agreed that a continuing resolution to avoid the shutdown at the end of the month is needed, the ongoing tension over raising the debt limit has served as a potential roadblock in this effort.</p>\n<p>\"We still expect Congress to avert a partial government shutdown at the start of October. Republicans won’t vote for the current continuing resolution being touted by the Democratic leadership, which also includes a new debt ceiling suspension,\" wrote Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, in a note Friday. \"But we expect a Plan B to emerge next week with the latter stripped out, which Republicans will support.\"</p>\n<p>\"The bigger issue is that there doesn’t appear to be an easy path to raising the debt ceiling by mid-October, which is when estimates suggest the Treasury’s will exhaust the 'extraordinary measures it is currently using to keep the lights on,\" he added.</p>\n<p>Investors have also grown jittery as the debates wore on, with stocks posting their worst day since May last week amid a confluence of concerns that also included debt concerns with China Evergrande.</p>\n<p>Many strategists, however, have suggested market participants need not be overly concerned about the impacts of a potential government shutdown.</p>\n<p>\"Historically, we've seen that government shutdowns tend to be short-lived,\" Jordan Jackson, JPMorgan Asset Management global market strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live on Friday. \"We also know that for those non-essential federal employees, they do get furlough pay as well.\"</p>\n<p>\"If it lasts more than 30 days, it's certainly going to have a bigger impact on the economy. But generally speaking, these shutdowns tend to be short-lived and markets — while they may correct in the short-term — they do sort of continue to grind higher,\" he added. \"I think it's certainly a risk in terms of a short-term mini correction there. But again, with all the liquidity out there, I think any sort of blip in the markets will be short-lived.\"</p>\n<p>Historical equity performance during and immediately following a government shutdown has also tended to point to a muted market impact.</p>\n<p>\"In the 14 government shutdowns since 1980, the S&amp;P 500 generated median returns of -0.1% on the dates of budget authority expiration, 0.1% during the shutdown periods, and 0.3% on the dates of resolution,\" David Kostin, Goldman Sachs chief equity strategist, wrote in a note published on Sept. 21.</p>\n<p>\"One notable exception was the most recent federal shutdown in December 2018, when the S&amp;P 500 fell 2% on the spending authority expiration date,\" he added. \"However, this decline was likely driven primarily by investor concerns about Fed tightening.\"</p>\n<p>Kostin also noted that the typical government shutdown since 1980 has only lasted three days before ultimately being resolved. More recent shutdowns have lasted several times longer, however, with the duration of the four most recent federal shutdowns averaging 18 days, Kostin said.</p>\n<h3>Consumer confidence</h3>\n<p>On the economic data front, one of the most closely watched new pieces of data will be on consumer confidence.</p>\n<p>The Conference Board is set to release its September consumer confidence index Tuesday morning. Economists expect the index to tick up only slightly compared to August, with consumers' views on the coronavirus and rising prices stabilizing near the lowest level since February.</p>\n<p>Specifically, consensus economists are looking for the index to rise to 115.0 in September after dropping to 113.8 in August. During the last monthly report, consumers' assessments of current business and labor market conditions both eased, and expectations for the next six months out also deteriorated.</p>\n<p>\"Consumer confidence fell to a six-month low in August, due to concerns around the Delta variant and inflation,\" wrote Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer in a note on Friday. \"We think these concerns largely remained in September.\"</p>\n<p>At the time, Lynn Franco, senior director of economic indicators at the Conference Board, said it was still \"too soon to conclude\" whether decline in consumer confidence would \"result in consumers significantly curtailing their spending in the months ahead.\"</p>\n<p>The latest spending data has also been equivocal. The Commerce Department's latest report showed retail sales rose 0.7% in August after declining in July. However, the categories posting the biggest declines were areas like e-commerce shops and grocery stores, suggesting consumer behavior was shifting back toward stay-in-place trends and away from in-person events like restaurant dining amid the latest wave of the coronavirus.</p>\n<h3>Economic calendar</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Durable goods orders, August preliminary (0.6% expected, -0.1% in July);

Elsewhere, economic data on consumer confidence is also due for release.\nThe Senate is expected to vote Monday on a procedural motion over the legislation passed by the House of Representatives last week. That bill included a plan to temporarily fund the government through early December, and came alongside a measure to raise the government debt ceiling through December 2022.\nThe latter point has been an area of contention for Senate Republicans, who are only narrowly outnumbered by Democratic lawmakers in both chambers and who have threatened to block the bill in its current form.\nSenate Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have suggested that Democratic lawmakers should use the budget reconciliation process to raise the debt ceiling without Republican support. McConnell has, however, supported a short-term government funding bill that excludes a debt ceiling suspension.\n\"If they [the Democrats] want to tax, borrow and spend historic sums of money without our input, they’ll have to raise the debt limit without our help. This is the reality,” McConnell said on the Senate floor last week.\nDemocratic lawmakers, for their part, have called for the move to raise the debt limit be bipartisan to prevent the government from defaulting on its obligations. The Treasury Department has warned that the U.S. could default on its debts as soon as October in absence of congressional action.\n\"The U.S. has always paid its bills on time, but the overwhelming consensus among economists and Treasury officials of both parties is that failing to raise the debt limit would produce widespread economic catastrophe,\" Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week.\nFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also warned of the consequences of a failure to raise the debt ceiling during his post-FOMC meeting press conference last week.\n\"It's just very important that the debt ceiling be raised in a timely fashion so that the United States can pay its bills when and as they come due. That's a critically important thing,\" he said. \"The failure to do that is something that could result in severe reactions, severe damage to the economy and to the financial markets ... no one should assume that the Fed or anyone else can protect the markets or the economy in the event of a failure.\"\nA dead Elm tree is removed on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)ASSOCIATED PRESS\nAmid the standoff, the Office of Management and Budget began warning federal agencies last week to prepare for a potential government shutdown. The reminder served as a standard warning one week out from Congress's deadline to reach an agreement to at least temporarily continue funding the government.\nThough leaders of both political parties have agreed that a continuing resolution to avoid the shutdown at the end of the month is needed, the ongoing tension over raising the debt limit has served as a potential roadblock in this effort.\n\"We still expect Congress to avert a partial government shutdown at the start of October. Republicans won’t vote for the current continuing resolution being touted by the Democratic leadership, which also includes a new debt ceiling suspension,\" wrote Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, in a note Friday. \"But we expect a Plan B to emerge next week with the latter stripped out, which Republicans will support.\"\n\"The bigger issue is that there doesn’t appear to be an easy path to raising the debt ceiling by mid-October, which is when estimates suggest the Treasury’s will exhaust the 'extraordinary measures it is currently using to keep the lights on,\" he added.\nInvestors have also grown jittery as the debates wore on, with stocks posting their worst day since May last week amid a confluence of concerns that also included debt concerns with China Evergrande.\nMany strategists, however, have suggested market participants need not be overly concerned about the impacts of a potential government shutdown.\n\"Historically, we've seen that government shutdowns tend to be short-lived,\" Jordan Jackson, JPMorgan Asset Management global market strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live on Friday. \"We also know that for those non-essential federal employees, they do get furlough pay as well.\"\n\"If it lasts more than 30 days, it's certainly going to have a bigger impact on the economy. But generally speaking, these shutdowns tend to be short-lived and markets — while they may correct in the short-term — they do sort of continue to grind higher,\" he added. \"I think it's certainly a risk in terms of a short-term mini correction there. But again, with all the liquidity out there, I think any sort of blip in the markets will be short-lived.\"\nHistorical equity performance during and immediately following a government shutdown has also tended to point to a muted market impact.\n\"In the 14 government shutdowns since 1980, the S&P 500 generated median returns of -0.1% on the dates of budget authority expiration, 0.1% during the shutdown periods, and 0.3% on the dates of resolution,\" David Kostin, Goldman Sachs chief equity strategist, wrote in a note published on Sept. 21.\n\"One notable exception was the most recent federal shutdown in December 2018, when the S&P 500 fell 2% on the spending authority expiration date,\" he added. \"However, this decline was likely driven primarily by investor concerns about Fed tightening.\"\nKostin also noted that the typical government shutdown since 1980 has only lasted three days before ultimately being resolved. More recent shutdowns have lasted several times longer, however, with the duration of the four most recent federal shutdowns averaging 18 days, Kostin said.\nConsumer confidence\nOn the economic data front, one of the most closely watched new pieces of data will be on consumer confidence.\nThe Conference Board is set to release its September consumer confidence index Tuesday morning. Economists expect the index to tick up only slightly compared to August, with consumers' views on the coronavirus and rising prices stabilizing near the lowest level since February.\nSpecifically, consensus economists are looking for the index to rise to 115.0 in September after dropping to 113.8 in August. During the last monthly report, consumers' assessments of current business and labor market conditions both eased, and expectations for the next six months out also deteriorated.\n\"Consumer confidence fell to a six-month low in August, due to concerns around the Delta variant and inflation,\" wrote Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer in a note on Friday. \"We think these concerns largely remained in September.\"\nAt the time, Lynn Franco, senior director of economic indicators at the Conference Board, said it was still \"too soon to conclude\" whether decline in consumer confidence would \"result in consumers significantly curtailing their spending in the months ahead.\"\nThe latest spending data has also been equivocal. The Commerce Department's latest report showed retail sales rose 0.7% in August after declining in July. However, the categories posting the biggest declines were areas like e-commerce shops and grocery stores, suggesting consumer behavior was shifting back toward stay-in-place trends and away from in-person events like restaurant dining amid the latest wave of the coronavirus.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Durable goods orders, August preliminary (0.6% expected, -0.1% in July);

Facebook recently changed its name to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB). The other companies are <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL), <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX), and <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p>\n<p>Each has proven itself a leader in its respective field and has had tremendous profit growth, and share prices have followed suit. However, if I had to pick <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> company in the group, Amazon would be my choice.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee384b8d26dc31f6c0e5a9034d703dd7\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Online retail set to accelerate</h2>\n<p>When you think about online retail, Amazon is likely the first company that comes to mind. That's because it has rapidly expanded to selling everything imaginable at low prices and with great convenience.</p>\n<p>After the pandemic struck, e-commerce sales as a portion of total retail sales accelerated, reaching 15.7% in the second quarter compared to 11% at the end of 2019. Although that slipped a bit to 13% in the third quarter as stores reopened to the public, the latest COVID-19 variant, omicron, could cause governments and businesses to implement restrictions again. Although unfortunate, this development would likely help online sales growth accelerate like it did previously, which would prove beneficial to Amazon.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company's North American sales grew by more than 38% to $236.3 billion, and its international division experienced nearly 40% growth to $104.4 billion.</p>\n<h2>Prime time</h2>\n<p>Amazon Prime, the company's popular subscription service, helps boost shopping on the site. For $119 a year, members get fast shipping without an extra delivery charge. It started this year with 150 million paid subscribers, which grew to 200 million in April, the latest figure provided by the company.</p>\n<p>Subscribers also get a streaming service with their Prime subscription. Amazon has been boosting content, and the $8.5 billion purchase of MGM Studios will expand its library. This should help it to better compete with other streaming services, such as Netflix and <b>Walt Disney</b>'s (NYSE:DIS) Disney+.</p>\n<h2>Huge profits</h2>\n<p>Amazon has been a hugely profitable company. For the first nine months of 2020, its operating income grew by nearly 34% to $21.4 billion.</p>\n<p>This quarter, management expects operating income to come in at $0 to $3 billion compared to $6.9 billion a year ago. Remember, last year's results reflect higher online shopping due to the pandemic. Plus, like others, Amazon is facing higher supply chain and labor costs.</p>\n<p>But management invests for the long haul. This includes expanding capacity that should lead to better product availability than other retailers, allowing Amazon to keep customers happy and loyal.</p>\n<p>Plus, Amazon isn't merely an online retail business. Notably, Amazon Web Services (AWS), its cloud-computing business, continues to have promising prospects. The segment's sales grew by more than 36% this year to $44.4 billion. It also had a 29.8% operating margin, much higher than the other two segments' low-single-digit figures. With companies increasingly relying on data, it is in a good position to benefit.</p>\n<p>Certainly, investors weren't enamored with Amazon's third-quarter results or fourth-quarter outlook.

Facebook recently changed its name to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB). The other companies are Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).\nEach has proven itself a leader in its respective field and has had tremendous profit growth, and share prices have followed suit. However, if I had to pick one company in the group, Amazon would be my choice.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nOnline retail set to accelerate\nWhen you think about online retail, Amazon is likely the first company that comes to mind. That's because it has rapidly expanded to selling everything imaginable at low prices and with great convenience.\nAfter the pandemic struck, e-commerce sales as a portion of total retail sales accelerated, reaching 15.7% in the second quarter compared to 11% at the end of 2019. Although that slipped a bit to 13% in the third quarter as stores reopened to the public, the latest COVID-19 variant, omicron, could cause governments and businesses to implement restrictions again. Although unfortunate, this development would likely help online sales growth accelerate like it did previously, which would prove beneficial to Amazon.\nIn 2020, the company's North American sales grew by more than 38% to $236.3 billion, and its international division experienced nearly 40% growth to $104.4 billion.\nPrime time\nAmazon Prime, the company's popular subscription service, helps boost shopping on the site. For $119 a year, members get fast shipping without an extra delivery charge. It started this year with 150 million paid subscribers, which grew to 200 million in April, the latest figure provided by the company.\nSubscribers also get a streaming service with their Prime subscription. Amazon has been boosting content, and the $8.5 billion purchase of MGM Studios will expand its library. This should help it to better compete with other streaming services, such as Netflix and Walt Disney's (NYSE:DIS) Disney+.\nHuge profits\nAmazon has been a hugely profitable company. For the first nine months of 2020, its operating income grew by nearly 34% to $21.4 billion.\nThis quarter, management expects operating income to come in at $0 to $3 billion compared to $6.9 billion a year ago. Remember, last year's results reflect higher online shopping due to the pandemic. Plus, like others, Amazon is facing higher supply chain and labor costs.\nBut management invests for the long haul. This includes expanding capacity that should lead to better product availability than other retailers, allowing Amazon to keep customers happy and loyal.\nPlus, Amazon isn't merely an online retail business. Notably, Amazon Web Services (AWS), its cloud-computing business, continues to have promising prospects. The segment's sales grew by more than 36% this year to $44.4 billion. It also had a 29.8% operating margin, much higher than the other two segments' low-single-digit figures. With companies increasingly relying on data, it is in a good position to benefit.\nCertainly, investors weren't enamored with Amazon's third-quarter results or fourth-quarter outlook. The stock's 5% gain this year has badly lagged the S&P 500's 25% increase. However, with strong prospects for increased online shopping and AWS' continued rapid growth, this creates a good opportunity to pick up shares right now and for the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":531,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698630307,"gmtCreate":1640360083047,"gmtModify":1640360085835,"author":{"id":"3581591042662135","authorId":"3581591042662135","name":"Crescentia","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd59947b13cf75d412f9373f5e8187d7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698630307","repostId":"1112957001","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112957001","pubTimestamp":1640339958,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1112957001?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-24 17:59","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Oil Trims Weekly Gain Amid Low Liquidity Heading Into Christmas","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112957001","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Brent oil fell as as trading volumes thinned moving into the holiday period, but stil","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Brent oil fell as as trading volumes thinned moving into the holiday period, but still headed for a weekly gain on signs that the omicron variant of the virus may be less severe than previous strains.</p>\n<p>Futures in London slipped 0.7% toward $76 a barrel on Friday.
