“Everybody loves it,” Mr. Trump said to cheers. The reversal is one of many that Mr. Trump has made in his bid to return to the presidency and underscores his malleability in election-year policymaking. From TikTok to cryptocurrencies, the former president has been reinventing his platform on the fly as he aims to attract different swaths of voters. At times, Mr. Trump appears to be staking out new positions to differentiate himself from Vice President Kamala Harris or, perhaps, just to please crowds. To close observers of the machinations of Mr. Trump’s first term, the shift on tips, a policy that has become a regular part of his stump speech, has been particularly striking.

First Solar is well positioned for growth despite the U.S. election uncertainty that has hit the company's stock as well as the broader renewable industry in recent weeks, according to analysts. The solar module manufacturer's stock was up 5.7% on Wednesday. First Solar is one of the biggest beneficiaries in the renewable energy space from production tax credits under the IRA. While election risk will weigh on First Solar's stock, policy uncertainty tends to be a tailwind for the company, Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee told clients in a note. China tariffs could strengthen First Solar's competitive position and pricing power in the U.S., analyst Andrew Percoco told clients.

London CNN —British voters have handed the Labour Party its first election victory in almost two decades, hoping that a new center-left government will revive Britain’s ailing economy and fix collapsing public services. The win is a triumph for Keir Starmer, a former chief prosecutor who only entered parliament in 2015 and will become prime minister later Friday. “It feels good, I have to be honest.”But Labour’s jubilation may soon give way to trepidation given the economic challenges ahead. Making these problems even harder to solve: stubbornly low economic growth. To some extent, the government is likely hoping economic growth will be stronger than forecast and help with both goals.
