Description
President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passes the House of Representatives after months of political infighting, with a vote on the larger 'Build Back Better' bill in the days ahead. Wall Street hits record highs, as investors cheer a massively improved jobs report. But a slump in tech valuations across Softbank’s Vision Fund pushes it into the red for the second quarter, as the Japanese conglomerate posts a net loss of $3.5 billion dollars. Berkshire Hathaway's cash pile hits a record high, despite aggressive buybacks, and as third quarter operating profit jumps 18-percent on a continued recovery in its railroad, utilities and energy businesses. China posts a record trade surplus, as exports surge more than expected - with year to date exports now exceeding those for the whole of last year. And Engie enters exclusive talks with Bouygues over a 7-billion euro sale of its energy services unit, as the French energy group continues its shift to renewables.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
