The oversupply of Chinese goods in key industries is stoking tensions between the world’s biggest manufacturer and its major trading partners, including the United States and the European Union. From clothes to carsChina’s exports of low-priced goods got a boost after it joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. “What China exports is advanced production capacity that meets the needs of foreign customers,” Xinhua News Agency wrote. US President Joe Biden recently pledged to investigate whether imports of Chinese vehicles pose a national security threat. “But perhaps more importantly, persistent oversupply and low prices of Chinese goods will add to geopolitical tensions and keep the threat of tariffs and counter-tariffs alive,” she wrote in a recent note.

North Carolina, which Trump narrowly won in 2020, is emerging as a critical piece of Biden’s reelection strategy. It has been 16 years since Barack Obama delivered a North Carolina surprise in 2008. Former President Donald Trump gestures after speaking at the North Carolina Republican Party convention in Greensboro on June 10, 2023. She isn’t sure how much longer Republicans can hold the line in North Carolina. “Yes, we have had more growth in our urban communities, and it’s going to make North Carolina trend bluer in the future,” Anderson said.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — With some of America's biggest stars deciding to stay home, Claire Curzan and Hunter Armstrong claimed the spotlight at the World Aquatics Championships on Tuesday. Curzan won gold in the women's 100-meter backstroke at the Aspire Dome, while Armstrong followed just a few minutes later with a victory in the men's 100 back. The 19-year-old Curzan, who competes at the University of Virginia, claimed the first individual world title of her burgeoning career. After settling for bronze in the 100 back at the last two world championships, the Ohio native now has a gold. Hobson, part of a scaled-back team for these world championships, gave himself a big boost with the Paris Olympics just five months away.

Breath work can help initiate the body’s parasympathetic response, which helps us to relax by calming down awareness during stressful situations. Incorporating breath work with a walking routine can increase the function of your breathing muscles so they won’t get tired as quickly. There’s no definitive statement of why (nasal breathing) is good,” he said. And don’t forget that other types of breath work beyond walking have health benefits, too. “There are no real side effects or downsides to breath work.

REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Meta Platforms Inc FollowOct 18 (Reuters) - A shareholders' proposed class action accusing Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) of concealing sweeping misuse of Facebook users' data in 2017 and 2018 was revived by a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco restored shareholders' claim that the company, then known as Facebook, falsely said that user data "could" be compromised. At the time, the company was already aware that the UK-based consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had violated its privacy policies, shareholders allege. Circuit Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented, saying that Facebook's disclosures concerned the type of risks involved in its business, not whether or not a data breach had occurred.

☆ Central bank interest rates: Is the global fight to tame inflation nearly over?

London CNN —Central bankers have had to climb a metaphoric mountain over the past two years in the battle to control runaway inflation. The announcement came just hours after Switzerland’s central bank kept rates unchanged and a day after the US Federal Reserve did the same, holding its key lending rate in the range of 5.25% to 5.5%. “Central banks think they have raised interest rates enough to bring inflation down to their 2% targets in a couple of years’ time,” Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, told CNN. Key interest rates are now at levels that, if “maintained for a sufficiently long duration, will make a substantial contribution” to reducing inflation to its 2% target, the central bank said. “By this time next year, we anticipate that 21 out of the world’s 30 major central banks will be cutting interest rates.”

The 29-year-old Sjoestroem touched the wall in 24.77 seconds to deny Zhang, who was 0.28 seconds behind, while Gretchen Walsh of the United States took bronze. Australia's Cameron McEvoy then won the men's 50m freestyle gold in a superb time of 21.06 seconds, beating silver medallist Jack Alexy of the U.S. by 0.51 seconds. The absence of 2022 men's 100m butterfly champion Kristof Milak and Olympic gold medallist Caeleb Dressel, who also has the world record, will add a dash of uncertainty to the final later in the evening. But she can expect a tough test from American Regan Smith, who was second in the semis, and Australia's Olympic and world champion Kaylee McKeown who also holds the world record of 2:03.14 in the event having set that time in March. The Australian mixed 4x100m freestyle relay team have a shot at lowering their world record of 3:19.38 in the last race after cruising through the heats and going nearly two seconds faster than the United States.

A US appeals court ruled that offensive music played loudly in the workplace may violate sex discrimination laws. A 2020 lawsuit against a Nevada company alleged that complaints about offensive music were ignored. That's the opinion of M. Margaret McKeown, an appeals court judge in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Employees' complaints to management about the music being played loudly throughout the Nevada warehouse were allegedly ignored, according to the suit. Therefore, music with that language being played loud enough for dozens of employees to hear could qualify as grounds for claim of workplace harassment.

☆ Quantitative tightening: What happens when $2 trillion is sucked out of the global economy

“Quantitative tightening,” or QT, by top central banks will suck $2 trillion in liquidity out of the financial system over the next two years, according to a recent analysis by Fitch Ratings. Investors and banks calibrate their strategies to the amount of money in the financial system, he noted. Then, central banks started withdrawing liquidity from the financial system. Even worse, many banks have large holes on their balance sheets because central banks have simultaneously jacked up interest rates. While government debt levels have skyrocketed in recent years, the cost of servicing that debt has been tamped down by the willingness of central banks to buy large chunks of it.

Governor Christopher Waller said the battle to reach the Fed's 2% inflation target "might be a long fight". But Governor Lisa Cook said the big job gains in January with moderating wage growth increased hopes of a "soft landing". The bond market rallied a little after being caught wrongfooted by the January blockbuster U.S. jobs report, forcing many to reposition for a higher peak in the Fed funds rate. The two-year Treasury yield , which rises with traders' expectations of higher Fed fund rates, eased 2 basis points to 4.4375% on Thursday, while the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes slid 5 basis points to 3.6012%.

For stock market investors, there are a number of strategies one can employ over the next couple of months to lower their tax bill for 2022, according to tax experts that spoke with Insider. One of the most common strategies is tax loss harvesting, said Tanya Taylor, the founder and CEO of Grow Your Wealth and former financial regulator with the New York Federal Reserve. Investors should also consider gains made outside of the stock market when thinking about tax loss harvesting, said Ryan McKeown, a financial advisor at Wealth Enhancement Group.

Sept 27 (Reuters) - Intel Corp (INTC.O) plans to expand the Intel Developer Cloud to allow customers to try a range of new chips before they hit the market, a move it hopes will lure more application developers to use its processors, the company said on Tuesday. Chip companies are increasingly enabling software and hardware developers to test out chips virtually in the cloud before they are shipped to save time. A strong software developer ecosystem is increasingly becoming a competitive edge for semiconductor hardware manufacturers. He said Intel is trying to make the developer cloud easier to use and also trying to hook the next generation of developers to make applications for Intel chips. Cheruvu said young developers face a lot of pain points in understanding the technology and experimenting with them, and that the developer cloud was helping to address some of the issues.
