5 Things You Need To Know, Today, on Monday 15th August 2022
5. The Moscow Exchange will be partially reopened to foreign investors from today after a nearly six-month suspension during the Ukraine war.
It says only investors from "countries that are not hostile" will be allowed to trade bonds.
4. Saudi oil giant Aramco has broken its own record with a $48.4bn (£39.8bn) profit for the second quarter of 2022.
It is a 90% year-on-year increase and marks the biggest earnings for the world's largest energy exporter since its public listing three years ago.
3. UK house prices have fallen for the first time this year but experts say summer distractions rather than deteriorating economic conditions are to blame.
Figures released by Rightmove show that the average price of a UK property dropped to £365,173 in August, marking a 1.3%, or £4,795, decline.
2. Regulated train fares in England will rise below the rate of inflation next year to help people with the cost of living crisis, the government has said.
The normal formula is RPI plus 1%. RPI in June was 11.8% - but it is not known what next year's increase will be.
1. Labour has called for an extension of the tax on oil and gas companies to fund a freeze in the energy price cap, which they said would see a typical family saving £1,000.
The cap - the maximum amount suppliers can charge for average use - is forecast to hit £3,582 in October and £4,266 in January.
