A U.S. government delegation will travel to Beijing in the week of January 7 to hold trade
talks with Chinese officials, two people familiar with the matter said. Deputy U.S. Trade
Representative Jeffrey Gerrish will lead the Trump administration’s team, which will also

Sterling held above a three-day low on Thursday as investors remained sidelined
awaiting another round of Brexit developments, as a broadly weaker dollar offered some
support to the struggling British currency. Against the dollar , the pound was broadly
steady at $1.2635 after climbing as much as 0.2 percent to $1.2665 in the Asian session.
Gold climbed to a more than six-month high on Friday, as concern about slowing
economic growth and a partial government shutdown in the United States stoked safe-
heaven demand, although gains in equities capped the upside. Spot gold XAU had risen
by 0.5 percent to $1,281.08 per ounce, and was set for a second straight weekly gain
with no end in sight for China-U.S. trade tensions and political uncertainty in the United
States. The precious metal hit its highest level since June 19 at 1,281.39. AHLI Premium Deposit

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Thursday said it was still reviewing the final
details of the recently endorsed Income Tax Law. Jordan and the IMF signed the $700-million

public debt to safe levels and stimulating the economy. Under the deal, Jordan is expected to
generate around JD520 million in additional revenues this year alone.
National Commercial Bank (NCB), has begun preliminary discussions to merge with smaller
rival Riyadh Bank. A merger would further extend NCB's lead over its closest rivals
including Al Rajhi Bank, by boosting its assets by almost a third to 685 billion riyals ($183
billion).

quarter. The oil sector shrank 1.5 percent in the third quarter, while the non-oil sector
grew 2.4 percent.
