☆ TikTok made overconsumption cool. Now, it's turning against it.
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Charissa Cheong | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

People are calling out overconsumption, and redefining what it means to be cool on social media. Social media users have long called out the consumerist culture fostered by social media, but recently a group of anti-heroes rose into the TikTok spotlight to battle this kind of overspending using their online platforms. It also reflects a marked change from the kind of aspirational content that people have historically associated with other social media platforms like Instagram. The fight against overconsumption perhaps indicates that creators are trying to redefine the standard of what it means to be cool. The glorification of overconsumption that defined social media may be on its way out.

Modestly scaled and tonally perfect, “Fallen Leaves” opens in a fluorescent hell-on-earth and ends with a vision of something like paradise. A lot of the drinks are downed hurriedly and often furtively by a man, while elsewhere a woman listens to sad songs. A Finnish writer-director best known on the international festival circuit (“Fallen Leaves” won a major award at the 2023 Cannes), Kaurismaki makes movies — precise, austere, plaintive — that resist compartmentalization. Set in contemporary Helsinki, “Fallen Leaves” opens on the woman who listens to sad songs; it’s a habit that suggests she’s a familiar genre type — she isn’t. That’s pretty much what happens when a supermarket manager later fires Ansa for taking some expired food.

That didn’t work because lenders balked at increasing their exposure to over-leveraged real estate groups. Xi needs to articulate a broader plan to restore banks’ confidence in the troubled property sector. Beijing’s problem is that the cash it doles out may not reach the intended targets because banks are reluctant to pass it on to property developers. Chinese banks heeded the strong signal coming from Beijing. Still, simply throwing money at reluctant banks won’t help heal the current real estate wounds.

Arm on Wednesday forecast a third-quarter revenue range with a midpoint of $760 million, below analysts' estimates of $767.84 million, according to LSEG data. But its annual revenue forecast was above estimates, as it benefited from a surge in companies designing new chips to tap the boom in artificial intelligence applications.

☆ The world's two largest memory chipmakers signal demand weakness may have bottomed out
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-07 | by ( Sheila Chiang | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The recent earnings calls of the world's two largest memory chipmakers signaled that weak demand may have finally bottomed out. This followed a 85.15% drop in first quarter operating profit from the previous quarter and a small 4.68% improvement in second-quarter operating profit from the first quarter. Such memory chips are found in consumer devices such as laptops and smartphones. During the pandemic, companies stockpiled memory chips to meet record electronics demand, but were left with excess inventory when that pressure eased. Inflation has caused consumers to rein in spending and cut back on purchases of consumer devices, driving down demand and prices for memory chips.

In September 2022, amid weak results that punished its stock, Fedex Raj Subramaniam warned that a "worldwide recession" was in the cards. That hasn't happened, but the Fedex CEO isn't exactly backtracking, and says several of the underlying reasons for his pessimistic call remain in place. "Those are three things negative to our industry and that's what I said," Subramaniam told CNBC's Holland. The Fedex CEO stressed that he made his call "early" so the company could get "significantly more efficient" and come out of a slowing global economy in better shape. Fedex shares have outperformed the market and its chief competitor UPS , which is down nearly 20% this year.

She has maintained that the real interest rate costs for the federal government have remained close to 1% of GDP, a manageable level.

President Biden requested an additional $106 billion to the DoD budget, citing the Israel-Hamas war and other global conflicts. The CEO of military contractor RTX said Tuesday the company could "benefit" from an increased DoD budget. RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon, is a long-time US defense contractor which has worked on supplying Israel's Iron Dome since 2014.

He called the budget request "a smart investment" in American security and emphasized the need to support Israel's Iron Dome.

☆ TSMC beats revenue and profit expectations for third quarter
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Sheila Chiang | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company reported a third-quarter profit of 211 billion New Taiwan dollars ($6.69 billion) on Thursday as weak demand for consumer electronics persists. While that was the second straight quarter of profit declines, the world's largest contract chipmaker bested analyst expectations. That compares with TSMC's guidance for third-quarter revenue between $16.7 billion and $17.5 billion. The chip giant said that revenue increased 13.7% in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter. In the second quarter, the Taiwanese firm reported a decline in quarterly profit for the first time in four years due to a post-pandemic plunge in the demand for consumer electronics like smartphones and laptops.

A logo of Taiwanse chip giant TSMC can be seen in Tainan, Taiwan December 29, 2022. The likely decline in profit also reflects a strong performance last year, when the company was still riding high on pent-up post-pandemic demand. The world's largest contract chipmaker is set to report net profit of T$195.9 billion ($6 billion) for July-September - its second straight quarter of profit decline, according to an LSEG SmartEstimate drawn from 19 analysts. Given that, much of Thursday's focus will be on TSMC's outlook for the fourth quarter and beyond. Fubon Securities expects a slow start to next year for TSMC, with 10% growth in the first quarter, predicting order cancellations towards the year end and mild restocking demand.
