a multi polar world as opposed to one that's just run by the u. s. and other western countries. they do also want to deepen its economic ties with russia. we've seen trade sold between the 2 countries since the invasion in 2022. it went off by point 9 percent to $190000000000.00 us dollars. and much of that is the buying of cheap oil and gas from russia for aging. something that very much needs and aging is also going that to promote itself as a global leader and a mediator, she didn't, thing is very much capitalizing on the recent success of one e. l. beijing, beijing's top diplomat brokering a piece deal between saudi arabia and iran, and u. s. markets wrapped up the week closing under a sea of red, pushed on by banking stalks on friday. shares and 1st republic bank closed down 33 percent. that despite on injection of cash, with $30000000.00, european stocks also ended the week down. u. s. president joe biden now wants

2:10 am
nasdaq down a little under one percent on friday, but for the week up 4 percent. and we saw the same with the dow jones industrial average down 1.4 percent on friday, up a little over 0.4 percent for the week. so we're really getting a lot of these mix signals and are getting a sense of you really don't know how the market should be reacting to this banking crisis. it's clear that this is top of mind here on wall street now, but it's really a sense of will this crisis be contained to the regional banks as what we've seen for the last week or so? or will it spread beyond that to larger banks, which could cause a much bigger banking crisis and what we're seeing now, and of course, spread even further internationally. according to one trader, it's almost like the market doesn't know how to react right now. they're kind of
