U.S. Economic Growth Slows to 1.6%: U.S. economic growth slowed in the first part of the year, falling short of economists’ expectations.

on.wsj.com/3UypAig

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: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.
