3:07 am
a 1st time the chinese president will travel to russia since the start of the war. but you know, you has more from beijing, according to china's foreign ministry, she's trip is all about promoting peace between crane and russia. china farm mystery says that reading stands during the conflict has been consistent. that all at once is a true slide to sit down and talk and it released the keys to this effect last month, outlining the dialogue savings to criticize the u. s. and other western countries employees and it says you need to sanctions and feelings. a crisis one to support to ukraine. now that's what kind of our ministry says, but there are really 2 other goals here that very, very much staging interest. the 1st is, this trip is going to be a major show of public support for moscow at a time when its continuing its invasion of crane. and this is what fading intended intends to show that this is advancing a multi polar world,
3:08 am
as opposed to one that just run by the u. s. and other western countries. they also want to deepen its economic ties with russia, receive trade sold between the 2 countries. since the invasion in 2022, it went up by 29 percent to $190000000000.00 us dollars. and much of that is the buying of cheap oil and gas from russia for aging. something that agent very much need and aging is also going to promote itself as a global lead and immediate. she didn't think it's very much capitalizing on the recent success of one of aging, aging top people not brokering a piece deal between saudi arabia and iran. and yes, markets wrapped up the week closing under a sea of red, pushed down by banking stocks on friday. shares and 1st republic bank closed down nearly 33 percent. that's despite an injection of cash. with $30000000000.00. european stocks also ended the wheat down president job by now wants congress to
3:09 am
impose tough a punishment on bank executives. he tries to reassure the public, calling the collapse of silicon valley bank, and the parent company of s. b. b has fall, the bankruptcy protection with much of the tech focus company already under the control of regulators. comes a week after a surgery, withdrawals triggered the worst bank collapse since the 2008 financial crisis cable is under as more from the new york stock exchange. it was another tough day on wall street. as all of the major indices were in the red and down throughout the entire day, any of the gains that were made on thursday were wiped out on friday. but the market is also giving very mixed signals as we enter this next phase of the u. s. banking crisis, in some ways we're seeing the markets very much down. but for the week the market has been quite resilient. for example, the s and p down 1.2 percent on friday, but for the week up over one percent. the nasdaq down
3:10 am
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 like a deer stuck in the headlights,
3:11 am
as the old saying goes just sort of frozen. and that's all we saw while with the markets on friday. there wasn't a lot of selling, wasn't a lot of buying. it was just sort of frozen in time, so to speak. now 1st republic bank, one of the banks sits at the center of all this down 32 percent. it's lost about 70 percent of its value for the week. and that's after $30000000000.00 aid package was promised to the bank trying to stabilize the markets. now, what are we looking to in the future? the next big thing will be next week, next, tuesday and wednesday, when the federal reserve makes a decision on if they are going to have interest rate again or not. traders will be watching that very closely because whatever that decision is, could then have a knock off effect for wider implications throughout the market. and through the goal, we commie took as president reggie typo and says he will now support finland's bid

3:14 am
it wasn't meant to be like this for sweden who've been stepping up their military in preparation for joining nato. it followed decades of neutrality which had become part of their identity. the common defense planning that we've been doing with finland since 2014 will become much more difficult. it is right now that her ideas of nato's new forward defense is going to be figured out. and in that work, it would be a very big benefit for nato. if they knew if they could include both swedish territory, but also sweetness military capabilities are particularly precious. tonight would have been sweetest technology, with his grief and jets, bolstering the lines his elbow and capabilities over the baltic. such an addition to the armory in opposition to russia is now up in the last year sweden's entry into the lines alongside finland seemed over to short as nato countries rushed to welcome them in but with her care and also hungry. still having doubts sweet,
