Description
Efforts at diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine have so far been unproductive, and foreign leaders including Vice President Kamala Harris and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are now in Poland to facilitate talks and support Ukraine. The conflict has affected American gas prices, and Operation Hope CEO John Hope Bryant discusses impacts on consumer wallets and on corporate strategies. In the wake of Microsoft’s deal to buy Activision Blizzard, the SEC is investigating concerns of insider trading that took place before the deal was announced; entertainment mogul Barry Diller strongly insists that he, his stepson Alex von Furstenberg, and fellow mogul David Geffen made “a lucky bet” on Activision Blizzard, and that the transactions were legal. President Biden’s executive order to examine cryptocurrencies prompted a bounce in bitcoin prices, and United Airlines is allowing some unvaccinated workers to return to their jobs later this month. Plus, one health insurer is considering a rebrand, and Amazon’s stock split might shake up the Dow.
