New US House Speaker Johnson: Ukraine, Israel funding request should be handled separately

Newly elected US House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a Fox News interview late Thursday that President Joe “Biden’s funding request for Ukraine and Israel should be handled separately.”

“I think any stopgap spending bill should have conditions,” Johnson said.

Market reaction

At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index is trading modestly flat at around 106.50, undermined by an improving risk sentiment.
