Plans for a new skyscraper set to be the tallest in the United States have received height approval from Oklahoma City. The Legends Tower is set to rise over a mixed-use development of four towers in total, called Boardwalk at Bricktown. The mixed uses for the development have currently been allocated to two Hyatt hotels, residential units, and retail and restaurants. While three of the towers in the development will rise to 345 feet (105 metres) tall, the fourth tower – named the Legends Tower – will stand at 1,907 feet (581 metres) tall. The skyscraper would break the current record for the tallest tower in the United States of America, currently awarded to the 1,776-foot-tall (541 metres) One World Trade Centre in New York. It would also mark the sixth tallest skyscraper in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (2,717ft), Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur (2,228ft), Shanghai Tower in Shanghai (2,073ft), and Makkah Royal Clock Tower in Mecca (1,972ft). According to The Oklahoman local news outlet, the project secured its full funding of $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion) in early March. Site preparation for the development could begin as early as June this year.

Brazil's central bank director Gabriel Galipolo said on Wednesday that the monetary authority should not get spooked with "short-term" market fluctuations and will need time to understand how recent moves affect its mandates. Emerging market currencies, including Brazil's real, have slumped in recent days as the dollar soared on rising geopolitical tensions and fading hopes of an interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Galipolo acknowledged that countries that started lowering rates early as inflation receded, such as Brazil, were among the most hit by the recent repricing of the U.S. yield curve and the strengthening of the greenback.

While Apple (AAPL) deals with a lawsuit by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Magnificent Seven member stock could be losing ground in one of its most valuable markets: China. Recently, reports have shown that iPhone sales have slumped in China. Is Apple up for the challenge to reinvigorate its position in international markets and how will all this manifest in its May 2 earnings release? TECHnalysis Research President and Chief Analyst Bob O'Donnell joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into Apple's largest problems in the domestic US market and abroad, and how the iPhone maker might go about solving them.
