Another thing that seems to be frustrating Trump is the pace at which these talks are moving. We've seen that the EU has promised to fast track them. But just how quickly, realistically, can we expect progress?
That was Brussels reporter Kim McRae. Kim, thank you so much. Thank you. Well, following Trump's tariff climb down, US stock futures are pointing to a higher open after the long weekend. And in other markets news, China's industrial profits rose 3% in April, accelerating from a 2.6% rise the previous month.
The gains were likely helped by rerouting and front-loading by traders hoping to get ahead of rising trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. And back in the US, we exclusively report that Southwest Airlines has set the fee it will charge customers for their first checked bag at $35. It'll start charging for checked luggage tomorrow.
And looking ahead to the rest of the week, NVIDIA's earnings will take centre stage tomorrow afternoon. While Salesforce will also be reporting, then on Friday we'll get a read on May consumer sentiment, plus the April edition of the PCE Prices Index, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation.
And later today, Elon Musk's SpaceX is planning another test of its Starship, which it hopes to have ready for a Mars mission by next year. Coming up, Canada's new leader enlists royalty to sketch out his vision for the country and send a message to Washington. That story after the break.
In Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government will lay out its agenda today as Parliament reopens for the first time since Carney replaced Justin Trudeau and won the general election.
Canada's head of state, Britain's King Charles, will be on hand to read the speech from the throne as Carney prepares to take on the biggest threat facing Canada's economy in a generation, and that is Donald Trump's trade war. For more, our Daniel Bach spoke to Colin Robertson, a former Canadian diplomat and fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute.
Thank you.
The Supreme Court says President Trump can remove leaders of independent government agencies, except the Fed. Plus Wall Street embraces crypto, as US banks team up to issue a stablecoin. And we look at whether China's efforts to shore up its high-tech industries means the world's second largest economy can go it alone.
It's Friday, May the 23rd. I'm Azhar Sukri for The Wall Street Journal, filling in for Luke Vargas. And here is the AM edition of What's News? The top headlines and business stories moving your world today. The Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump can remove leaders of independent government agencies, but crucially not the Federal Reserve.
And while the ruling doesn't explicitly prevent Trump from firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell or any other member of the Central Bank, the Journal's Chelsea Delaney says it does provide some relief to market participants worried about the Fed's independence.
Verteidigungsdokumente, die gestern unveröffentlicht wurden, zeigen, dass Elias Rodriguez, 31 Jahre alt, von Chicago, wo er wohnt, vor dieser Woche geflohen ist. Die Befragungen gegen Rodriguez bewegen eine mögliche Todesverletzung. Die Befragungen der Trump-Administration bewegen gestern Morgen
The Department of Health and Human Services Civil Rights Office said the school acted with, quote, deliberate indifference towards student-on-student harassment of Jewish students, unquote, since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. A Columbia spokesperson said the school takes these issues seriously and will work with the government to address them.
We are exclusively reporting that major US banks are exploring whether to team up to issue a joint stablecoin. Conversations are in the early stages but have involved payment companies co-owned by the likes of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo among others. Journal reporter Angus Berwick says that by potentially issuing a digital coin pegged to a real world currency,
This comes as President Trump reaffirmed his commitment to making the US a crypto capital by hosting owners of his meme coin for a gala dinner last night. Government watchdog groups have said the dinner could potentially violate federal rules against soliciting gifts.
According to Inca Digital, a blockchain analytics firm, some 148 million dollars worth of Trump coin was purchased by investors to win spots at the dinner. Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt denied that his dinner would trigger any ethics violations because, "...all the president's assets are in a blind trust, which is managed by his children."
Shares of Chinese drugmaker Jiangsu Hongri Pharmaceuticals soared more than 30% on their Hong Kong debut today, marking one of the city's largest initial public offerings so far this year. The red-hot IPO market in Hong Kong is largely being driven by Chinese firms seeking secondary listings.
In the first quarter of the year, listings in the financial hub quadrupled from a year ago to 18.7 billion Hong Kong dollars. Teslas Sales continue to slump in Europe with Chinese automaker BYD outselling Elon Musks EV maker for the first time last month. Our European Autos Reporter Stephen Wilmot says it's both a sign of Teslas unpopularity and BYDs rapid expansion in Europe.
Coming up, China has been shoring up advanced technologies long before the trade war began. We look at just how resilient Beijing is after the break. Washington and Beijing may have agreed to a truce in their trade war, but China has for years been busy building a great wall of economic self-sufficiency around itself.
Even before President Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese imports during his first term. China had already identified several high-tech areas where it wanted to become less reliant on the outside world. Those efforts have only grown in recent years and, as senior correspondent Brian Spiegel writes, continue to accelerate under Trump 2.0. And Brian joins us now.
