Citigroup Inc. reported a quarterly EPS of $1.34, exceeding estimates, with revenue of $19.58 billion, up 12.3% year-over-year. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.56 per share and announced a $20 billion share repurchase plan, indicating confidence in its stock value. Currently, Citigroup holds a Moderate Buy rating, but top analysts recommend five other stocks as better investment options.
President Donald Trump has signed a record-breaking 107 executive orders in just over two months of his second term, nearly tripling the count of Joe Biden at the same point. His directives focus on reducing federal regulations, immigration enforcement, and rolling back Biden-era policies, while also facing judicial challenges. Notable orders include the dismantling of the Department of Education, withdrawal from the WHO, and the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve.
Oil prices surged last week, marking their strongest weekly gain since January, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. The risk premium from potential conflicts, including the fragile ceasefires involving Israel, has contributed to this rise. However, anticipated increases in OPEC+ oil supply may limit further price gains.
Asian shares showed mixed results, with Chinese markets declining after a rally on Wall Street driven by tariff hopes. The Nikkei 225 rose 0.3%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 2.2%. U.S. futures dipped slightly, and oil prices remained stable as investors await key economic updates this week.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management has announced a portfolio management change for the Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund, Inc. In other news, Indian equities continued to rise, driven by gains in banks and energy stocks, while Citigroup adjusted its price target on Morgan Stanley to $125, maintaining a neutral rating. Additionally, Morgan Stanley raised its GDP growth forecast for China in 2025.
President Trump's recent memo authorizes sanctions against law firms involved in lawsuits against his administration, potentially revoking security clearances and federal contracts. This follows executive orders targeting firms like Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie, which have faced criticism from civil rights groups for undermining the legal system. Meanwhile, the administration defends its actions as necessary to prevent the judicial system from being weaponized against the public.
Evan Feinman, the former director of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program, criticized Elon Musk's Starlink in his resignation letter, claiming it prioritizes profit over rural internet access. He expressed concern over potential changes to the program that could favor satellite technology, which may hinder progress in connecting underserved areas. Meanwhile, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act for mass deportations, framing it as a response to an "invasion," while his administration challenged judicial authority, dismissing court orders as unconstitutional.
Elon Musk has accused Democratic donors, including George Soros and Reid Hoffman, of funding protests against Tesla, claiming that five groups linked to ActBlue are behind the demonstrations. Protests have surged at over 50 Tesla locations in the U.S. and internationally, with slogans criticizing Musk. An investigation into ActBlue has raised concerns about illegal donations, prompting policy updates to reject contributions from high-risk sources.
Huawei's connection to former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero deepened in early 2021 when the company hired Víctor de Aldama as a consultant amid international restrictions. His daughters, Laura and Alba Rodríguez Espinosa, also secured a contract with Huawei through their agency, Whathefav, to promote esports in Venezuela. Despite the significant ties, details on the nature of their work for Huawei remain unclear.
Mike Pence will address the UBS Wealth Insights 2025 summit, focusing on U.S. elections and their global implications, just days before Donald Trump's inauguration. Despite a strained relationship with Trump since 2021, Pence aims to provide insights into international relations and economic policies. The event is exclusive to clients and closed to the media.
