Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

US economic growth slows more than expected in first quarter
reut.rs/3xOnFgt
Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.
- Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.
- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
- The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.
