The stock purchases will probably bring attention back to Ma, a former English teacher who helped start Alibaba as an e-commerce platform. Ma, who hasn’t held a management role at Alibaba or Ant in years but remains a lifetime partner in the Alibaba Partnership, now largely focuses on Bill Gates-style philanthropy.

☆ Watchdog report is critical of former Fed officials in stock trading controversy
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-22 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

A watchdog review into market trading from two former high-ranking Federal Reserve officials criticizes their actions but does not accuse either of doing anything illegal. Revelations showed that some Fed officials engaged in market trading at a time when they also were considering important and delicate policy matters in the early days of the Covid pandemic in 2020. The report concludes that their actions resulted in conflicts of interest that raised issues over impartiality and the proper conduct of central bank officials. On Kaplan, the report states that the OIG "did not find that his trading activities violated laws, rules, regulations, or policies related to trading activities as investigated by our office." Since the controversy, the Fed has revamped its trading rules and now prohibits officials from owning stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies.

But at the regional level, the IG has yet to weigh in on the trading activities of Rosengren, Kaplan and current Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic. Both Rosengren and Kaplan have said they followed the Fed rules that governed trading at the time, and their disclosures were approved by Fed lawyers. Conti-Brown praised the central bank's new ethics regime as likely the best in government, which he said casts the IG's work in an even worse light. They have proposed legislation that would make the Fed IG position a presidential appointment requiring confirmation by the Senate, something Bialek has publicly opposed. During a hearing in the Senate in May, Bialek said the Fed had never interfered in his work.

A lawyer for writer E. Jean Carroll told jurors on Monday that Donald Trump followed a "playbook" he had for kissing and groping women without their consent before he raped Carroll in a New York department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Kaplan showed jurors a snippet of the "Access Hollywood" tape, when Trump boasted in 2005 about touching women without their consent. Kaplan told jurors: "What is he doing here he is telling you in his own words his modus operandi, his MO…he kissed them without their consent." "The evidence shows overwhelmingly he followed this playbook and in the dressing room there grabbed [Carroll] by the p---y," she said. In his deposition in the case, Trump told Kaplan that "unfortunately or fortunately," for "millions of years," stars had been able to sexually grope women without asking permission first.

☆ Problems are mounting in the economy, big companies say, and another Fed rate hike may be one too many

While that's good for them, it also means "we're definitely moving towards a slowdown," one CFO said. "They are trying to fight a problem but there's evidence around the U.S. that says the economy is slowing. One concern voiced by CFOs is that the top end of the consumer market has been masking deeper problems in the economy, with companies tracking a rise in credit delinquencies, and that is now starting to spread. But inside major corporations, executives say they see signs of mounting trouble for the economy and as another interest rate hike looms, it may be time for the Fed to stop. While traders are betting on rate cuts before year-end, the CNBC Fed Survey shows a belief from economists and money managers that the Fed will hold rates higher for eight months.

☆ The banking crisis is in its early stages and the Fed should opt for a 'hawkish pause' to rate hikes, former Dallas Fed President says

The Fed should issue a "hawkish pause" in its rate hike cycle, the former Dallas Fed President said. That's because recent banking chaos is still in the early stages of unfolding, Robert Kaplan told Bloomberg. "I think we're in the early stages, not the late stages of this banking situation," Kaplan told Bloomberg in a televised interview early Wednesday. There's an 87% probability policymakers will raise the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 5%-5.25%. In terms of the Fed, "let's say they raise then pause, or they pause and and signal a so-called hawkish pause, either way, the rhetoric needs to be that the Fed stands ready to raise rates," said Kaplan.
