☆ Premarket stocks: Don't be fooled by a strong GDP report

That’s why it’s so surprising that the US economy is expected to show robust growth in Thursday’s third-quarter GDP report. Economists warn that the report could be a one-hit-wonder that overstates momentum in an economy that is actually slowing. “There is more braking power being inflicted on the US economy than will be at all apparent in the third-quarter GDP report,” wrote Kelly. Central bank officials are going to be looking at underlying metrics in the report, and will likely ignore headline numbers, said Patterson. The bottom line: The rejiggering of trade balances often falsely inflates economic growth calculations ahead of a recession.

☆ Europe's neobrokerage startups face winter of cuts and consolidation as trading volumes slump and VC funds dry up, industry sources say

Europe's neobrokerage startups face cuts and consolidation as funding dries up, sources say. For startups that can't fundraise it's "shoulders against the wall," one investor told Insider. Europe's brokerage startups are facing a winter of job cuts and consolidation as the sector battles with slumping trade volumes and a scarcity of investor cash, industry sources say. The drop-off has made raising funds a difficult exercise for many fintechs and has also led to a bifurcation in the market of the "haves and the have-nots," one London-based investor told Insider. Market consolidation will be driven by price, one fintech fund partner told Insider.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Late-stage U.S. startups are scooping up talent unlocked by layoffs and hiring freezes at Big Tech, adding experienced engineers and project managers to their roster despite signs of an economic slowdown. A survey of 581 executives, almost entirely from U.S. tech startups, showed that more than 40% of them boosted their hiring plans in the first half of 2022, according to hiring firm A.Team and startup consultant MassChallenge. Companies are also shortening hiring times and offering higher pay packages to lock in candidates as they compete for talent in a tight labor market, recruiters said. Still, some analysts warn there is only so long until startups can continue the hiring pace amid a weak economic backdrop. "If the economy does indeed go into recession, it will only add to the pressure faced by tech firms as demand dries up," says Dante DeAntonio, director of economics research at Moody's Analytics.

☆ Landing cut roughly a third of its Alabama staff — but first the real estate startup had the laid-off workers train their cheaper, Mexico City-based replacements
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Alex Nicoll | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

The furnished-apartment rental company Landing laid off 110 employees last week. According to the company, it launched its Mexico operation in 2020, which has grown to include at least 100 employees. The two laid-off employees described training the Mexico City-based colleagues over Slack, Zoom, and the business-messaging application Intercom. However, two laid-off employees disagreed with this assessment and told Insider that while some employees had been moved into markets earlier this summer, they still required the help of a centralized operations team. "One of Bill's 10 business principles is to execute relentlessly," the laid-off employee said.

Stock futures ticked higher Tuesday night as investors awaited the latest inflation numbers and the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures were each up about 0.2%. The moves came after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell 0.65% and 1.1%, respectively, to post their fifth straight day of declines. Bank earnings will kick off later in the week. Despite lower expectations, S&P 500 earnings are still expected to grow.

He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday rally for Dixon and other GOP candidates in the state. Through Nov. 8, Whitmer and the Democrats have reserved $24 million in ads for the Michigan governor’s race. And the two most recent polls have shown Whitmer leading Dixon by double digits. “Isn’t that sad that Democrats have to spend so much money?” Dixon said at a news conference Tuesday when asked if she was disappointed in the lack of assistance for her campaign. The Republican Governors Association still has $3.6 million budgeted for ads in Michigan, though a spokesperson acknowledged the funding gap.

HONG KONG, Sept 29 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Another day, another Chinese property market selloff. Hong Kong-listed CIFI (0884.HK) on Wednesday confirmed that it defaulted on an onshore trust loan linked to a property development, blaming slow sales.

Today, Li is the billionaire CEO of NYSE-listed Sea Limited, which owns 100% of Shopee as well a gaming unit called Garena. Amid these growing losses, Sea Limited revised and then dropped its ecommerce revenue guidance for the year. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Shopee expected ecommerce revenue in 2022 to fall between $8.9 billion and $9.1 billion. Sea Limited posted revenues of $414 million in 2017, which ballooned to almost $10 billion in 2021. However, Sea Limited has been posting losses for the past few quarters, so that option is not viable in the short-term.

DWAC, which is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, has been set to be the vessel to take Trump Media and Technology Group public. Now, its share price sits around $16 as markets slide, the appetite for SPACs dries up and Trump faces mounting legal peril. DWAC secured $1 billion in financing from private investors in public equity, also known as PIPE, which would fund Trump Media after the merger. By converting and selling these shares, PIPE investors also have the power to significantly dilute the holdings of other investors including former president Trump. Trump Media, DWAC and the PIPE investors didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Americans are now spending more than 35% of their median income on monthly principal and interest payments for that newly purchased median-priced home. Historically, Americans spent closer to 25% of median income on payments. Instead, mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year US Treasury. As investors anticipate the Fed's rate hikes, they often sell government bonds, which sends the yield higher and, with it, mortgage rates. In May, the Biden administration announced a Housing Supply Action Plan to close the affordability gap and ease housing costs.

China has been grappling with its worst heat wave on record and the Yangtze, the third longest river in the world, is drying up. Parts of the Yangtze River have dried up from the extreme heat. Experts have also noticed a drastic decline of many native freshwater species of fish, like the now extinct Chinese paddlefish and sturgeon. “The Yangtze is the longest river in China and (all of) Asia and has long been a cradle of civilization. “If there’s anything we can learn from the death of the Yangtze River dolphin, it’s that extinction is forever and we can’t afford to take it lightly.”

Voga Coffee has raised $1.6 million to fund its mission to get into coffee shops around the world. Unfortunately, the industry has taken quite a hit, with one research firm reporting the pandemic wiped out a quarter of coffee shop's sales in 2020. For the first time in nine years, the total number of coffee shops in the US is on the decline, according to Bloomberg. Its invention, called Ground Control, is a high-tech batch brewer that aims to produce a more consistently delicious cup of coffee. Adopting the technology, the company argues, would allow cafés to brew coffee at a faster clip and charge a higher price for a top-notch brew.
