Chancellor John Healey said the government will maintain the fuel duty freeze and extend the temporary 5p-per-litre cut introduced in 2022 at least until July. He said the measures, including lowering the red diesel rate to its lowest level in more than 20 years, will be kept through winter and spring as the Middle East war continues to push up fuel prices. The duty rate has been frozen since 2011 apart from the 2022 cut. The RAC reported UK diesel retail prices hit record highs in recent weeks. Fuel duty generates about £25bn a year (~$33bn).

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said the Federal Open Market Committee will adjust its meeting schedule beginning next autumn.
