Public comments on the proposed rules will be accepted until Aug. 4. watch nowTreasury said the new rules were intended to implement "a narrow and targeted national security program" focused on certain outbound investments in countries of concern. Treasury had mapped out the contours of the proposed rules in August. Certain third-country transactions determined to be addressing national security concerns, or in which the third country adequately addressed the national security concerns, could also be exempted, Treasury said.

In August 2020, I was laid off from my job, and a couple of days later, my husband left me. I was working a contract job for a literacy nonprofit, and thankfully, they allowed me to take six weeks off to complete the plumbing course. AdvertisementThat pushed me to become self-employed in plumbing and do this alongside my media work, which forms the basis of my income. I currently carve out one day a week for plumbing work — I concentrate on smaller maintenance, so I can do around four to six jobs within a day. The plumbing work gives me good flexibility, and I'm very aware that it is a way of future-proofing my career in case the rise of AI makes elements of my media work redundant.

Dove didn't have much time to grieve, though. "I pushed back because I didn't think it was rewarding. I didn't think I would feel like I was contributing to society in a meaningful way as an investor," Dove said. Dove didn't want to work even more hours, which would force her to sacrifice time with her kids, so she made more with less. "Although we have not hit our FI number yet, we will reach our target amount by our target date with just what we contribute from my husband's income," Dove said.

Big Tech companies are pouring billions of dollars into building data centers to train it. The AI Value ChainAccording to UBS, investors should approach the overall AI industry as three interconnected layers: enabling, intelligence, and application. By understanding the major players in the AI space and investing in the most critical parts of the AI value chain, according to UBS. The bank predicts that the AI landscape will be marked by "vertically integrated" and "monolithic" firms with the scale to reach across the AI value chain. However, its stock hasn't seen the price appreciation that domestic tech companies have, suggesting that there's ample room for valuations to expand.

NATO has also cautioned against intensifying Russian hybrid warfare in the region and in the rest of Europe that could include "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference, and other hybrid operations."

Chinese carmakers accounted for 88% of the EV market in Brazil and 70% in Thailand in Q1, according to ABI Research figures. The EV markets in many of these countries are small now, but they're growing rapidly. This is because Chinese automakers are known for their ability to build electric cars for less than their foreign competitors. Australian Senator and shadow cyber-security minister James Paterson said earlier this year that Chinese EVs pose a growing cybersecurity risk. "India is still a little wary of the Chinese market," said Dylan Khoo, an analyst at ABI Research.

AdvertisementBut similar to most national polls, Trump leads Biden on the question of which candidate would better handle the economy. In 2020, Biden won Pennsylvania by roughly 80,000 votes out of more than 6.9 million ballots cast. And over 604,000 of those ballots cast for Biden came from Philadelphia voters. He can easily find himself among receptive audiences in the city's numerous Black churches, where a loyal base of older Black voters are overwhelmingly supporting his bid for a second term. Biden has stumbled with younger Black voters over issues like the conflict in Gaza and student-loan debt relief.

Read previewAmerica's stimulus-fueled shopping spree looks just about over — and lower spending could be a signal that a consumer-led downturn is on the horizon, economic experts say. Retail spending ticked 0.1% higher in May, but sales volume has dropped 1.3% year-over-year over the last three months, US Census data shows. That adds to a 4% decline in retail sales in the first quarter — and it's a strong sign the long-awaited consumer recession is on the horizon, economist David Rosenberg said recently. "Early signs of a consumer recession finally coming to the fore." AdvertisementThe US has 52% chance of slipping into recession by May of next year, according to projections from the New York Fed.

For example, a call that the S & P 500 would rise 100 points on a positive consumer price index print came true last year. That's true so far, with the S & P 500 jumping 4.8% in May after finishing April down 4.2%. As equities struggled, (the S & P 500 fell almost 20% in 2022), Lee felt like the risk of inflation was being mispriced. Because of that, he foresaw a rebound in 2023, a year that sent the S & P 500 more than 24% higher. "There was a pretty widely-held view that the Fed had to crash the economy in order to contain inflation," Lee said.
