Overview: Google and Apple, as leading tech giants, are under scrutiny in the global market due to emerging legislative actions aimed at ensuring fair competition in the digital field. Recent developments in Japan's legislation, in line with the EU's Digital Markets Act, signal a tightening regulatory environment for these companies. Japanese Legislation and Impact: Japan's cabinet has proposed legislation that could levy major fines on tech companies like Google and Apple if they engage in anti-competitive behavior. The potential fines could reach up to 20% of their revenues, which would impact their profitability and market performance. Additionally, the legislation emphasizes the need for fair play in operating systems, browsers, and search engines, which may affect the business practi

Ok so im going to Share one stock, not one to watch just today, but a long term good thing $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$ currently its trading at good value, considering it pays a solid and growing dividend around 14% I consider it like the foundations of a building.

The oil market experienced an uptick in prices during early trading on Friday, largely driven by comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who suggested that the country's economy may be in a stronger position than initially indicated by the weak first-quarter data. This, combined with ongoing supply concerns due to the conflict in the Middle East, contributed to the rise in oil prices. Brent crude futures rose to $89.35 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures increased to $83.90 a barrel. Yellen's remarks provided a boost to market sentiment, hinting that the U.S. economy's growth could be revised higher and that inflation may ease in the coming months. This outlook contrasts with earlier concerns about a potential interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve combats slow growth and stubborn inflation through a monetary policy tightrope walk. Here's a simplified explanation:  * Raising interest rates: This discourages borrowing and investment, cooling down inflation but also potentially slowing economic activity.  * Quantitative tightening: The Fed can sell bonds it holds on its balance sheet, reducing the money supply in the economy and aiming to curb inflation. These tools can be tricky to calibrate. The Fed aims to raise rates enough to fight inflation without stalling the economy altogether. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  dived last night as gdp came in lower than estimated and pce came in higher than estimated. google and microsoft sa

Market Overview: Global markets faced a day of losses on Thursday, with US, European, and Asian stock indices generally moving downward due to lackluster earnings and concerns about economic growth. The US economy's 1.6% annual growth rate for the first quarter of 2024, its weakest performance in almost two years, added to investor unease and contributed to the broad declines seen in major stock indices.

Who could have predicted back in March that things will take a dip in April 2024. Back then, everyday was a new test for the 3 Composite Indexes as they kept breaking new grounds, testing new limits. In less than a month, the market has become worse off than it was. (see below) How Did It Begin? If you asked me, it started around 10 Apr 2024 when US’s March CPI inflation data was released. (see above) This time round it came in much higher to the surprised of analysts. Headline inflation (3.5%) was higher than analysts’ forecast (3.4%) and was definitely higher than February’s data (3.2%). Initially Mr Powell tried his best to calm the market with his dovish remarks; while his team mates were more hawkish. Eventually on 16 Apr 2024, Mr Powell had to concede that falling inflation has grin

As an adventurous investor, I’ve spent more time navigating financial markets than I have navigating traffic on the freeway during rush hour. Today, I want to shed some light on three long-term stocks that have piqued my interest, akin to how a well-brewed cup of Earl Grey piques my morning senses—PayPal, Shopify, and Berkshire Hathaway.
