On July 25th, Meta Platforms (META.O) announced it is adding new intelligent agent-like capabilities to its AI assistant, powered by its latest model, Muse Spark 1.1. The company stated that Meta AI can now access Google Calendar and Gmail and perform tasks such as creating daily updates, assisting with research, and helping with home remodeling projects. This effort is part of CEO Mark Zuckerbergs vision of "personal superintelligence." However, Metas AI software capabilities currently lag behind its competitors. Intelligent agents from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google have an advantage in handling a wider range of tasks and operating autonomously for longer periods. Zuckerberg also launched an AI optimism campaign this week to promote Metas AI vision.SpaceX (SPCX.O) shares are poised to fall to their lowest closing price since their IPO, currently down about 4.5% at $113.On July 25, Wang Yi stated that President Rahmons successful state visit to China in May, during which President Xi Jinping and President Rahmon made new strategic plans for the development of China-Tajikistan relations, was a significant achievement. The most important outcome of the visit was the signing of the Treaty of Permanent Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between China and Tajikistan, setting a precedent in Central Asia. The two sides also issued a Joint Statement on Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership for a New Era between the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of Tajikistan, declaring their determination to jointly promote the building of a China-Tajikistan community with a shared future. The common task of the two foreign ministries is to translate the consensus reached by the two heads of state into concrete actions, plan exchanges at all levels, and promote deeper and more practical cooperation in areas such as energy, connectivity, and counter-terrorism and security, so as to bring more cooperative results to the benefit of the people of both countries.July 25th - US President Trump: The EU is back again, and as usual, targeting great American companies directly! After arbitrarily fining Apple $15 billion, Meta $3 billion, Amazon $2.5 billion, and many other companies, we have just learned that Google—a truly advanced and amazing company—has been fined another $1 billion without explanation. This brings Googles total fines to over $18 billion! This illegal and highly discriminatory practice reached such a high level during the first year of the "Sleepy Joe" (Biden) administration, but it will not continue under the Trump administration. America is not Europes ATM, and we will not allow it to be! Therefore, we will immediately launch a Section 301 investigation into this "plundering" of American businesses and harming American taxpayers. The EU will pay a very high price for this illegal and highly unethical behavior, which is exactly what I have been warning them against. These fines will be completely rescinded, and we expect to impose high tariffs on them as soon as possible.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $675 million from two counterparties in its fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.

Asian Stocks Rise; China Plans to Relax COVID Measures; However, Concerns Remain

China's relaxing of several COVID-19 restrictive measures and U.S. markets' greatest week since November 2020 before Monday's Memorial Day weekend sent Asia Pacific stocks higher on Monday morning.


The Nikkei 225 gained 2% by 10:24 p.m. ET (2:24 a.m. GMT), while the KOSPI gained 1.27 percent.


The S&P/ASX 200 increased 0.91 percent in Australia.


Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 2.19 percent .


The Shanghai Composite rose 0.55 percent, while the Shenzhen Component rose 0.04 percent.


Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts were higher, a possible indication that the rebound could continue. As institutional investors rebalance their portfolios in anticipation for the end of the month, the S&P 500 erased its May losses and ended a streak of seven straight weekly losses.


As the European Union (EU) failed to agree on a revised package of Russian sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the dollar remained stable while the euro fluctuate. The U.S. holiday prevents the trading of cash Treasuries in Asia.


China recorded fewer cases of COVID-19 in both Beijing and Shanghai, encouraging the government to relax some restrictions in an effort to stimulate the economy.


After one of the worst starts to the year for global markets, the key question for investors is whether the bottom of the recent selloff is near. Investors have been buying the dip. Concerns continue, however, regarding stricter monetary policies from central banks, growing food inflation resulting from the conflict in Ukraine, and China's COVID-19 measures.


Bloomberg quoted Citigroup (NYSE:C) Australia head of investment experts Maheebeen Zaman as saying, "We are in the midst of a bear market rally."


Treasury yields are expected to peak in 2022, according to Zaman. "I believe the market will trade in a narrow range as investors try to determine how soon the next recession will arrive and how rapidly inflation will decline," he added.


As of Wednesday, the Fed will also begin reducing its $8.9 trillion balance sheet and will also print its Beige Book assessment on regional economic conditions. Presidents John Williams of the New York Fed and James Bullard of the St. Louis Fed will both speak at separate events on Wednesday, with President Loretta Mester of the Cleveland Fed discussing the economic outlook the next day.


Friday, the United States will release its May employment report, including non-farm payrolls. Tuesday will see the release of the Eurozone consumer price index, as well as China's manufacturing and non-manufacturing purchasing managers indexes.


Later in the day, EU leaders will convene in Brussels for a two-day extraordinary conference to discuss the war in Ukraine, defense, inflation, energy, and food security. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations will also release its monthly food price index on Friday, just as global supply concerns reach their peak.
