In this article ULCCJBLUSAVEwatch nowJetBlue Airways has reached a $3.8 billion deal to buy Spirit Airlines in a takeover that would create the country's fifth-largest airline and remove a fast-growing budget carrier from the market. Spirit lacked the shareholder support to win approval of the Frontier merger, which was first unveiled in February. If approved by regulators, JetBlue's takeover of Spirit would leave Frontier as the largest discount carrier in the U.S. It would also be the first major U.S. airline deal since 2016, when Alaska Airlines beat out JetBlue for Virgin America. A JetBlue airliner lands past a Spirit Airlines jet on taxi way at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport on Monday, April 25, 2022.

Leonard says the Fed should put money into Americans' hands, not Wall Street, to boost the economy. The problem wasn't in the creation of new money, Leonard argues — the problem was where that new money went and who was in charge of distributing it. "There's this group of 24 banks on Wall Street — financial institutions like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo," Leonard said. "From basically 1950 until 2008, that's how the Fed influenced our supply of money," Leonard said. "They would gradually loosen or tighten the money supply by making these purchases on Wall Street."

Sursa foto: Getty ImagesDecizie finală dură: Ce se întâmplă cu Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo în plină pandemie de coronavirusOficiali ai Comitetului Internaţional Olimpic (CIO) şi ai autorităţilor japoneze au anunţat sâmbătă, după o întâlnire, că nu se va permite accesul spectatorilor din alte ţări la Jocurile Olimpice 2020 de la Tokyo, din cauza riscurilor semnificative pentru sănătate în contextul pandemiei de coronavirus, scrie AFP. Vineri, preşedintele Federaţiei internaţionale de atletism (World Athletics), Sebastian Coe, i-a îndemnat pe organizatorii Jocurilor Olimpice de la Tokyo să nu se grăbească în luarea unei decizii referitoare la prezenţa publicului la competiţiile din această vară. Fostul dublu campion olimpic la 1.500 m a explicat că "şi-ar dori, bineînţeles, ca stadioanele să fie deschise publicului", însă a subliniat că "lucrul cel mai important este să avem sportivii la Jocuri". Numărul vizitatorilor străini a scăzut însă de la circa 32 de milioane în 2019 până aproape de zero. Până la opt milioane de turişti au vizitat în 2019 cluburile şi cafenele pline de viaţă din Shibuya, iar anul trecut erau aşteptate până la 10 milioane, însă pandemia a spulberat aceste planuri.

J.P. Morgan has an optimistic outlook on Asian stocks, with South Korea and India positioned to perform particularly well going into 2020. Year end, however, we're looking at 700," J.P. Morgan's head of Asia ex-Japan equity research, James Sullivan, said Monday. Still, J.P. Morgan said its 2020 year-end target for the index — which tracks large and mid-cap stocks across Asian markets, including China, Korea, and India — is roughly 8% above current levels. But stocks in Asia could benefit as global tech demand recovers and companies resume investments. Korean and Indian equities, in particular, could benefit from these trends and "surprise" investors, Sullivan said.

One of the perks that comes with The Platinum Card® from American Express is access to exclusive events and dining reservations via the By Invitation Only program. In 2017, Amex doubled down on this by relaunching its famed Platinum Card. Facing fierce competition in the premium space from JP Morgan's Chase Sapphire Reserve rewards credit card, American Express boosted its travel and experience platforms. "Now in 2018, we see that our Platinum card members are passionate about travel, entertainment, superior service, and have evolved in how they undertake that."
