Poll: Election interest hits new low in tight Biden-Trump race
Quick Glance: Poll: Election Interest Declines in Tight Biden-Trump Race
  • The interest of voters in the election has reached the lowest point in two decades at this stage in a presidential race.

  • The latest national NBC News poll reveals that the number of voters with high interest in the 2024 presidential election has nearly hit the lowest point in almost 20 years, with a majority holding negative views of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

  • Inflation and immigration top the list of the country's most pressing issues, with only one-third of voters giving Biden credit for improving economic performance.

  • The survey also highlights how the low voter interest and the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could potentially disrupt what has been a stable presidential contest with over six months until Election Day.

FTC sues to block luxury fashion merger of Tapestry and Capri Holdings
Quick Glance: Dispute Arises Over Fusion Between Tapestry Inc. and Capri Holdings
  • Legal actions have been taken by the FTC to block the proposed merger between Tapestry Inc. and Capri Holdings Limited.

  • Competition between the involved brands would be at risk with the merger, potentially granting Tapestry a dominant market share in the 'accessible luxury' handbag sector.

  • To halt the deal, the FTC is seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, with Tapestry and Capri planning to contest the decision in court.

  • Both companies stress that the merger has already been approved by regulators in the European Union and Japan, aiming to finalize the acquisition while battling the FTC lawsuit.

Quick Glance: Challenges for South Africa in Inflation and Financial Conditions, According to Central Bank Governor
  • Lesetja Kganyago, the Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, warned of upside risks to the country's inflation outlook.

  • Despite the chaotic impact of adverse El Nino weather in Africa, the latest data does not show indications of price hikes in food.

  • The South African Reserve Bank noted that the inflation rate is expected to reach the target range of 4.5% only by the end of 2025.

  • Kganyago highlighted potential risks from higher oil prices due to tensions in the Middle East and tight global financial conditions resulting from prolonged high interest rates at the U.S. Federal Reserve.
