(1) The Federal Reserve signaled fresh concerns about inflation while indicating it was likely to keep borrowing costs elevated for longer rather than raising them again.

(2) Another suspected intervention by Japanese authorities to support the yen, this time in late New York trading, ran into resistance from traders keen to keep selling the currency.

(3) The Federal Reserve and other top US regulators are forging ahead with their landmark plan to make big banks hold more capital despite calls from some critics to scrap it. 

(4) The UK defied a decline in foreign direct investment across Europe last year, in a welcome vote of confidence for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's economic program. 

(5) Tesla is rescinding offers just weeks before internships were set to start, prompting aspiring employees to take to LinkedIn to appeal to other employers to take them in.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
