Brazilian exchange operator B3 and S&P Dow Jones Indices on Tuesday launched the first volatility index of Brazil's domestic market, to be calculated based on the methodology of the CBOE Volatility Index, known as Wall Street's fear gauge.

Ismail Ramsey, who became U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California a year ago, said his office is uniquely positioned to crack down on tech start-ups that mislead investors on the path to initial public offerings (IPOs) given his proximity to Silicon Valley venture and angel investors. High-profile examples of such frauds by start-ups include Theranos, whose founder Elizabeth Holmes and president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani were convicted of deceiving Silicon Valley investors about the start-up's blood-testing technology, or uBiome Inc, a San Francisco start-up whose co-founders were charged with defrauding investors about its ability to expand clinical tests to monitor gut health.

Meta Platforms has offered to almost halve its monthly subscription fee for Facebook and Instagram to 5.99 euros from 9.99 euros following discussions with privacy regulators, a senior Meta executive said on Tuesday.
