Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
  • The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

  • In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

  • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

  • San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Bill to ban TikTok in US clears Congress
Quick Glance: Senate Passes Bill to Force Sale of TikTok
  • The Senate passed a bill that would compel TikTok's parent company to sell the platform or face a ban, sparking legal challenges and affecting content creators reliant on the app for income.

  • The updated legislation extends ByteDance's deadline to sell TikTok to nine months, allowing a potential three-month extension if a sale is underway.

  • The bill also prohibits the company from controlling TikTok's algorithm, which customizes user content and has been central to its appeal as a trendsetting platform.

  • The bill's passage reflects bipartisan concerns in Washington over Chinese threats and TikTok ownership, used by 170 million Americans, amidst worries of Chinese authorities influencing or accessing US user data.

Kering Warns Profit to Tumble Following Gucci Woes in China
Quick Glance: Kering Anticipates Up to 45% Profit Decline in First Half
  • French luxury group Kering expects significantly lower profits in the first half of 2024 compared to the previous year after the sales of its top brand Gucci declined.

  • Kering issued a profit warning due to deteriorating sales and strategic repositioning of some of its houses, particularly Gucci.

  • The company plans to continue investing in the long-term elevation of its brands, with a focus on Gucci, while working on navigating the aesthetic repositioning and brand segment elevation.

Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?
  • Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.

  • The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.

  • Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.

  • Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.

Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition heats up
Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
  • Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.

  • The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.

  • The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.

  • The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.
