  The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries made a smart move to limit production, but the move has had some unforeseen effects, according to Goldman Sachs analysts. 
  In November, some OPEC members agreed with a few non-members to lower their production levels in a bid to support oil prices. It was the most significant agreement since the oil crash in 2014 as OPEC fought for market share with US shale producers.
  The oversupply from the moves for market share pushed the

• Trump has met with 81 executives since being elected president — here's who made the cut

  25-03-2017 18:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  One of the main reasons Donald Trump won the presidency is because he convinced enough Americans that their country needed a successful businessperson at the helm, someone who knows how to make lucrative deals and who lacked political baggage.
  The first 100 days in the White House have been an adjustment for Trump, who's never held elected office. However, during this transition he's regularly put himself in his element, talking business at tables full of executives.
  He started holding these exe

  25-03-2017 17:54 via feedproxy.google.com

  The healthcare bill's swift death occured, in part, because House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Trump administration are anxious to get to some legislative policy where they can rack up a win — specifically, tax reform.
  But it's not going to be that easy, especially not without the spending cuts the passage of the AHCA would've provided.
  Republicans needed those cuts because they are trying to pass tax reform through a mechanism called budget reconciliatio

• A top Wall Street banker quit his job to fight for civil liberties

  25-03-2017 16:46 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  There's no question that the election of President Donald Trump and the policy prescriptions and rhetoric that have followed have led to a debate about civil liberties on Wall Street.
  When Trump signed an executive order in January to bar travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, several well-know Wall Streeters, including Goldman Sach's CEO Lloyd Blankfein, spoke out against it, for example.
