A group of Venezuela bondholders, including Greylock Capital Management, Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC, Mangart Capital, T Rowe Price Associates Inc., and Fidelity Investments, have hired Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP as their new legal adviser for negotiating a massive debt restructuring with the government. The Venezuela Creditor Committee holds over $10 billion in defaulted government and state oil company bonds. Upon defaulting in 2017, Venezuela presently owes around $154 billion, with more than $60 billion to bondholders. To facilitate talks, the committee plans to seek a permit from the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, despite sanctions prohibiting negotiations with US-based investors. The move towards debt talks gained momentum after Venezuela engaged Rothschild & Co. to address its defaulted debt. Sovereign notes due in 2027 saw a price increase to around 18.5 cents on the dollar following these developments.

Barclays' CEO expressed that it would be unrealistic for the finance sector to immediately sever connections with fossil-fuel clients to comply with climate activists' demands for net zero emissions. While the bank is transitioning away from coal and oil, the CEO emphasized the gradual shift towards cleaner energy, citing the indispensability of natural gas. The cautious approach aligns with warnings from other Wall Street CEOs on the energy security risks involved in complete divestment from fossil fuels amid growing protests and bans faced by banks for their support. Barclays, for instance, faced criticism for not being 'green enough' by some UK universities while also enduring backlash for a Texas ban affecting its business. Nevertheless, Barclays remains committed to managing extremes and supporting clients through the energy transition as part of its diversified banking operations.
