The coming weeks will be a critical period for the US stock market, one that will determine whether its latest rebound can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Federal Reserves interest rate decision will all be released over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The stock market appears to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 just posted its weakest monthly gain since March, with September historically its worst month. Meanwhile, market volatility has all but vanished. The VIX index, a fear index, has only touched the key 20 level once since late June. "Investors are right to be cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is resuming a modest rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, making it difficult for traders to determine their positioning." The long-term US stock bull predicts the S&P 500 will fall 5% to 10% this fall before rebounding to between 6,800 and 7,000 points.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: The EUs new 150 billion euro plan to accelerate investment in the EUs defense industry will benefit Poland the most.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: Continue to advance trade negotiations after the tariff ruling (made by the U.S. court).On August 31, Yuzhou Group announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that during the six months ending June 30, 2025, the contract sales amount reached RMB 3.729 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 14.21%; revenue was RMB 2.397 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 62.42%; the loss attributable to the parent companys owners was RMB 5.632 billion, and the loss attributable to the parent companys owners in the same period last year was RMB 6.256 billion.Kremlin: European countries are hindering Trumps efforts on Ukraine.

These privileged users will be able to sell their accessories or charge for access to specific digital areas they have created using a single tool, the firm claimed.


Additionally, the social media giant is piloting a "creator bonus" program for a select group of Horizon Worlds users in the United States, in which it would compensate members each month for using new features launched by the firm.


"We want there to be a ton of wonderful worlds, and in order for that to happen, there has to be a lot more creators who can sustain themselves and make this their profession," CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated during an avatar-based dialogue with early adopters.


The parent corporation of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Meta, has made significant investments in virtual and augmented reality to represent its new bet on the metaverse, a future concept of a network of virtual spaces accessible through various devices where people may work, socialize, and play.


The corporation is up against emerging virtual world players that allow for the purchase and sale of land, buildings, avatars, and even names in the form of non-fungible tokens, or blockchain-based virtual assets. Last year, the market for these assets boomed, with sales reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Horizon Worlds, a sprawling virtual reality social network, and Horizon Venues, a virtual event platform, are early incarnations of metaverse-like places developed by Meta.
