☆ Fox executives should be fired for ‘proven misconduct’ exposed in Dominion lawsuit, renowned Yale professor says
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
New York CNN —The Fox Corporation board has a huge mess on its hands — and it needs to work quickly to clean it up. That’s according to Jeffrey A Sonnenfeld, the renowned professor and senior associate dean for leadership studies at the Yale School of Management. The former House speaker said that Fox News should “move on from Donald Trump” and “stop spouting election lies.”But Sonnenfeld said Ryan’s actions were not enough. In fact, he said Ryan’s “quiet dissent” was “cowardly, ineffective, and immoral,” and pointed out that board members have certain responsibilities under corporate governance law in Delaware, where Fox is incorporated. Fox News has previously said it was “proud” of its 2020 election coverage, which is a statement that only grows more remarkable by the day.
☆ Paul Ryan grilled for remaining on Fox board of directors amid election fraud revelations
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
New York CNN —Former House Speaker Paul Ryan was grilled Tuesday over his decision to remain on the board of directors of Fox News’ parent company after damning court documents showed that the right-wing network knowingly peddled election lies to its audience. I have a responsibility to offer my opinion and perspective and I do that, but I don’t go on TV and do it, right. So I offer my perspective, my opinion, often,” Ryan replied. Instead, Ryan said, “I want to see the conservative movement get through this moment. And I think Fox is a big part of the constellation of the conservative movement.”“Is it the solution or the problem?” Sykes asked.
☆ Continuing Sanctions Against Russia Mark ‘Tectonic’ Shift

Hundreds of companies, though, decamped, calculating that the looming threat of sanctions ratcheting up and reputational risk warranted an exit. Prof. Sonnenfeld and Mr. Tannebaum both have been personally sanctioned by Russia, which has accused critics of engaging in a “Russophobic” campaign. “Countries continue to rely on those tools for foreign policy. The Russia sanctions have functioned as a “wake-up call” to the C-suite, Mr. Smith said. The use of coordinated sanctions, both in Russia and as a broader foreign policy tool, doesn’t seem to be going away, experts agreed.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a year ago prompted a volley of tough sanctions from the U.S. and its allies, a historic use of economic measures that will likely have lasting implications for businesses. Hundreds of companies, though, decamped, calculating that the looming threat of sanctions ratcheting up and reputational risk warranted an exit. “Countries continue to rely on those tools for foreign policy.

☆ Explainer: From 'loathsome' to routine, Fed has a well-rehearsed debt-limit playbook
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Howard Schneider | Thomson Reuters | Covers The U.S. Federal Reserve | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
When asked about the matter at a news conference after the end of the U.S. central bank's latest policy meeting on Wednesday, Powell declined to say whether Fed officials had begun planning for a possible default. "If there were pressures pushing the funds rate higher the (Fed market desk) would automatically add reserves to deal with that," William English, a Yale School of Management professor, said in a recent interview. As head of the Fed's monetary affairs division at the time, it was English who briefed officials in 2011 on possible options. The approach "appeared acceptable" to Fed officials previously, and was included in a draft statement the central bank had prepared in the event a debt limit compromise was not reached. But I don't want to say what I would and wouldn't do, if we have to actually deal with a catastrophe."
☆ Sooner or later, Fed may need technical tweaks for rate control toolkit
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( Michael S. Derby | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
The tweaks they envision are not shifts in the federal funds target rate, the central bank’s main tool for influencing the economy to achieve its job and inflation goals. Those two rates exist to keep the market-driven fed funds rate in the desired range. One, called the reverse repo rate, sets a floor underneath short-term rates, while another, which pays deposit-taking banks to park cash at the Fed, sets the high end. Those adjustments happened purely to ensure control of the fed funds rate, while this sort of move would speak more directly to bigger monetary policy concerns around managing the size of its $8.5 trillion balance sheet. Some in the market fear rate control toolkit tweaks might create unneeded headaches if done too aggressively.
☆ Analysis: AMC sets unusual shareholder vote for meme stock sale approval

loadingNow, AMC is asking shareholders for authorization to further increase its common stock count tenfold. Holders of the preferred stock will be allowed to vote on the matter alongside holders of common stock. "This increases the odds of (the new common stock authorization) passing this time," said Jacob Thomas, a professor of accounting and finance at Yale School of Management. "Given that meme stock speculators can drive prices far from fundamentals, it makes sense for a company like AMC to issue stock when management believes its own stock is overvalued," Harvey said. AMC said in the Jan. 26 filing that it is proposing the conversion of preferred stock to common stock to eliminate the trading discount.
☆ Smaller Fed rate hike may augur end to 'ongoing' increases
  + stars: | 2023-01-20 | by ( Howard Schneider | Thomson Reuters | Covers The U.S. Federal Reserve | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve is set to again slow the pace of its interest rate increases at a Jan. 31-Feb. 1 policy meeting while also signaling that its battle against inflation is far from over. Throughout last year, the Fed's rapid series of rate hikes were announced in a statement that also promised "ongoing increases" until rates were "sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%." Fed officials were surprised in 2021 by the persistence of inflation that at one point was more than triple their 2% target. The unemployment rate is currently 3.5%, a level seen only rarely since World War Two. "Thus, I anticipate the need for further rate increases."

☆ Premarket stocks: Investors are hoping for the economic tide to turn. The wait may soon be over
  + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
What’s happening: Price increases in the United States cooled more than economists expected last month, recording the lowest level of growth since last December. This is the second consecutive month of moderating price pressures and could mean the underlying trend of inflation is finally decelerating. That’s a welcome and hopeful sign for consumers, policymakers and investors, said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors. The bill specifically names TikTok and its parent, ByteDance, as social media companies for the purposes of the legislation. In the past two weeks, at least seven states have introduced such measures, including Maryland, South Dakota and Utah.
☆ Fed officials see smaller rate hikes coming 'soon,' minutes show
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Reflecting statements that multiple officials have made over the past several weeks, the meeting summary pointed to smaller rate hikes coming. Markets widely expect the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee to step down to a 0.5 percentage point increase in December, following four straight 0.75 percentage point hikes. The minutes noted that the smaller hikes would give policymakers a chance to evaluate the impact of the succession of rate hikes. Markets expect a few more rate hikes in 2023, taking the funds rate to around 5%, and then possibly some reductions before next year ends. Several Fed officials have said in recent days that they anticipate a likely half-point move in December.

watch nowFrom the FTX bankruptcy and downfall of crypto "rock star" Sam Bankman-Fried to the chaos at Twitter, it has not been a good week for the geniuses of capitalism. "Without a doubt, Sam Bankman-Fried is a genius," said Yale School of Management leadership guru Jeffrey Sonnenfeld in an interview with CNBC's "Fast Money" on Thursday. "But what's hard is that somebody has to be able to put on the brakes on them and ask them questions.

Tesla shares have not been immune from Musk's Twitter takeover, with the stock plummeting this week after Musk told Twitter employees on Thursday he sold Tesla stock to "save" the social network.

U.S. President Joe Biden smiles during a rally with Democratic nominee for Maryland Governor Wes Moore, U.S. "They still might lose control of both houses, but it's hardly the 'red wave' that was being marketed in the media." As results are reported across the country Wednesday, it appears Biden was right to be hopeful. President Joe Biden told reporters ahead of Election Day that he was "optimistic" for Democrats. "While Democrats may ultimately lose the House, it will likely be by much less than Republicans would want," O'Connell said.

☆ Europe is hurting because Russia has cut down its natural-gas supply — but Russia is even worse off: study
  + stars: | 2022-08-01 | by ( Huileng Tan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Russia has slowed natural-gas exports to Europe since invading Ukraine. A Yale University analysis found the move to be hurting Russia more than it's hurting Europe. Europe depends on Russia for 40% of its natural-gas needs, such as cooking in homes and firing up power stations. It's fretting over a winter energy crisis, as Russia has reduced natural-gas flows to the continent, citing sanctions-related challenges. Putin is pivoting east to sell Russian energy, but buyers are driving hard bargainsTo mitigate the impact from lower energy sales to Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin is hawking Russia's energy exports to other markets, such as Asia — but at a discount.
☆ Meta's limits on employee abortion conversations could easily backfire. Here's what leaders should do instead.

Meta is limiting employee conversations about abortion on its internal platforms. The policy at Meta removes public employee posts on the company's internal platform with keywords like "abortion" and "Roe v Wade." Meta allows employees to talk about the topic only in private forums with up to 20 people, the Times said. The tech behemoth isn't the first company to monitor and control employee conversation around political issues and face pushback for it. Hasnas said that a company shouldn't single out one issue as being off limits, and that all political issues require consistency.
