Hong Kong Stock Exchange: Tencent Holdings (00700.HK) will repurchase 1.1 million shares for cancellation on May 21, 2026, for a total consideration of HK$500.6 million.On May 21, Goldman Sachs stated in a report that Nvidia (NVDA.O) outperformed expectations in its first fiscal quarter ending in April, with strong guidance and optimized capital allocation proving particularly strong. The firm believes that the sustainability of capital expenditures provides a clear path for Nvidia to continue outperforming the market. Goldman Sachs raised its earnings per share forecast for Nvidia by an average of 6% to reflect higher revenue expectations and a lower-than-expected tax rate (consistent with the companys guidance); and raised its price target from $250 to $285, maintaining a "buy" rating. Given Nvidias strong quarterly results and guidance far exceeding market expectations (despite already optimistic market sentiment prior to the earnings release), Goldman Sachs expects Nvidias stock price to rise moderately. Goldman Sachs noted that prior to the earnings release, investor expectations had already risen due to hyperscale cloud service providers raising their capital expenditure forecasts. However, Goldman Sachs believes that Nvidias second-quarter guidance still exceeds these already revised expectations.The European Commission states that the downward trend in long-term unemployment is nearing its end.

According to Michael Barr, the vice chair of supervision at the Federal Reserve, banks that accept deposits from cryptocurrency companies should be wary of increasing liquidity concerns, especially if enterprises are closely linked to other businesses that deal in digital assets.


According to Michael Barr, the vice chair of supervision at the Federal Reserve, banks that accept deposits from cryptocurrency companies should be wary of increasing liquidity concerns, especially if enterprises are closely linked to other businesses that deal in digital assets.


Barr stated that the Federal Reserve is collaborating with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to highlight the risks to banks of concentrating their deposits in the cryptocurrency industry and to warn that banks may experience deposit fluctuations linked to price fluctuations in the larger crypto market.


The degree of centralization and interconnection among crypto-asset businesses, which increases stress, has been made clear by the recent volatility in the cryptocurrency markets, he added.


Despite the fact that banks were not directly impacted by these events' losses, these incidents have brought attention to possible concerns for financial institutions.


Speaking at DC Fintech Week, Barr stated that the goal of the banking regulators' interactions with financial institutions regarding the dangers of accepting deposits from cryptocurrency firms is "not to discourage banks from providing access" to banking services for cryptocurrency companies, but rather to ensure that any risks are properly mitigated.


Since assuming the top regulatory position at the Fed in July, Barr hasn't spoken in detail on cryptocurrencies and fintech until now. In the address, Barr said that regulators must strike a balance between encouraging innovation and providing barriers to protect customers and prevent systemic dangers.


Barr also cautioned that misleading statements made by cryptocurrency businesses concerning deposit protection may mislead clients and encourage withdrawals from banks with a cryptocurrency slant who provide such services at times of high stress.


These remarks come after the FDIC ordered several other crypto businesses, including the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, to stop making what it deemed to be "false and deceptive" assertions about whether the company's assets are government-insured in August.
