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.

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.
- Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.
- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.
- As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
- An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.
- The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.
- The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.
- Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.
