Biden's re-election campaign won't stop using TikTok
Joe Biden's reelection campaign plans to continue using TikTok, a campaign official said on Wednesday, shortly after the U.S. president signed into law a bill that would ban the app if its Chinese owner fails to divest it. The decision comes as many young and left-leaning voters, a significant part of the user base for the short-video app, are agitated over Biden's handling of the war in Gaza and protests have escalated across universities around the country. Biden's campaign staff are not employed by the government and do not deal with national security issues, so they are allowed to have the app on their phones, campaign officials had previously said.

4 best defensive plays according to this portfolio manager
Earnings season — among many other factors — has the stock market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) stressed, resulting in heightened volatility. Tidal Financial Group Portfolio Manager Michael Gayed joins Wealth! to share his perspective on why investors should adopt a defensive stance through very specific sectors. Gayed, the publisher of The Lead-Lag Report, explains that playing the market defensively involves asking, "How do you lower exposure to the factor that is likely to be most volatile?" He identifies four key areas that not only serve as leading indicators of market volatility but also tend to benefit during such periods: utilities (XLU), gold (GC=F), long-duration treasuries (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX), and the US dollar. Gayed also addresses the market's concerns about geopolitical risks and long-term blowbacks to stocks.
