TikTok: US Congress passes bill that could see app banned: The app's owner, ByteDance, has nine months to sell its stake or face being blocked in the US.

bbc.com/news/articles/c87zp82247yo

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Implications of a TikTok Ban on China's Technology Plans and Global Digital Divide

TikTok is at a critical juncture in America as its Chinese owner must complete the sale of the app within a year to avoid a ban in its largest market.

The potential TikTok ban would not only greatly weaken China's technology ambitions but also deepen the divide between the digital worlds of rival economic superpowers.

The potential enforcement of a TikTok ban could expedite a transformation that divides the world's technological landscape into two factions, one around the US and the other around technologies from China.

Chinese companies and apps operating in the US are encountering increasing challenges as the US government implements measures to restrict the access of Chinese companies to the market.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

ft.com/content/3b819571-662d-4185-9ca5-c7e682b55700

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Quick Glance: Overview: Tesla Stocks Plummet, Europe Business Surpasses Expectations

World markets have brightened slightly this week, but Tesla is facing a critical earnings test, while Europe's business pulse has surprisingly been lively this month.

Following the worst week on Wall Street since 2022, relief from easing Middle East tensions helped stabilize the situation on Monday. The chip giant Nvidia made a modest recovery from losses as Big Tech megacaps gear up for quarterly earnings releases.

As the first of the 'Magnificent 7' Vanguard stocks, electric vehicle giant Tesla will report on Tuesday, having plummeted by a substantial 43% year-to-date and nearly 60% over the past two years amidst fierce price competition, declining EV demand, and governance/product concerns.

While Big Tech jitters define this month's market fluctuations, investors will closely watch the upcoming results for a clearer perspective.

McConnell criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson for playing a leading role in demonizing the idea of sending military aid to Ukraine.

Carlson's interview with Putin was widely criticized for not challenging Putin's dubious claims.

Putin dominated the interview, barely letting Carlson ask questions and later complained about the lack of tough questions.

Several Republicans expressed concerns about the infiltration of what they view as Russian 'propaganda' in conservative media and among their party's base.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China

The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.

Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.

In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.

The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.

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.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Quick Glance: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena

As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”

Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.

Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.

With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.
