Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong said on Thursday that "Any claims about the progress of China-U.S. trade negotiations are groundless as trying to catch the wind and have no factual basis," according to The Associated Press.

Amazon makes bid to buy TikTok as deadline looms

By  Eric Revell  | Fox Business Amazon has made a bid to acquire TikTok as the popular social media app faces a looming deadline to be divested from its China-based owner or face a ban in the U.S. that could take effect this month.

According to the report, the offer was delivered to Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. READ THE FULL ...

Federal Reserve leaves key interest rate unchanged amid uncertainty over economy, inflation

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced that it will leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged as policymakers continue to assess uncertainty around inflation and economic conditions in light of federal policy shifts. The central bank's decision leaves the benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%.  The move comes after the Fed left rates at that level at its previous meeting in January, which came on the heels of three consecutive rate cuts at its preceding meetings — which involved a 50-basis-point cut in September and a pair of 25-basis-point reductions in November and December.
