Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:19 GMT

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is walking back his characterization of Russia’s war in Ukraine as a “territorial dispute,” following criticism from a number of fellow Republicans who expressed concern about the potential 2024 presidential candidate’s dismissive description of the conflict.In excerpts of an interview with Piers Morgan set to air Thursday on Fox Nation, DeSantis said his earlier comments referenced ongoing fighting in the eastern Donbas region, as well as Russia’s 2014 seizure of Crimea.

No time for complacency, warn European regulators

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:19 GMT

PARIS — Europe may have dodged the worst of the banking crisis but regulators at the POLITICO Finance Summit warned now is not the time for complacency.One of the conference’s prominent speakers, Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras, cautioned against raising interest rates too quickly in the wake of the collapse of Credit Suisse and Californian lender Silicon Valley Bank.“A financial crisis can spread very quickly like a fire in the hole so we have to be careful — this makes me feel we should be more prudent than before,” he said at Thursday’s event in Paris. “Inflation still remains a problem and is much higher than the ECB target” of 2 percent, even if “it is falling.”He used a quotation from Aristotle to get his point across about the financial system: The whole is sometimes greater than the sum of the parts. Minutes before Stournaras took the stage, the Swiss National Bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point to 1.5 percent. Later in the day, ...

UK pitches for financial services cooperation with the EU

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:19 GMT

PARIS — The U.K. is pushing to work with the EU on financial services regulation now that an agreement on post-Brexit trade with Northern Ireland has been struck, Andrew Griffith, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, told the POLITICO Finance Summit in Paris today.The outreach opens the door to the signing “very quickly” of the Memorandum of Understanding agreed with the EU in principle in 2021 but never concluded, the minister said.“That will give us the framework to have the very closest dialogue with the partners who represent a very significant part of our U.K. financial markets,” Griffith said.Across Europe, some governments feared Britain would use Brexit as an excuse to dilute its regulatory framework in an effort to win more business, and open the door to a second “big bang” to charge its economy — a reference to the original deregulation regime put forward by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.But Griffith said he was comfortab...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:19:19 GMT

By STAN CHOE (AP Business Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are rallying Thursday to recover almost all of their steep loss from a day before, when markets tumbled into the close. The S&P 500 was 1.5% higher in midday trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 393 points, or 1.2%, at 32,423, as of noon Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 2.1% higher. A day earlier, stocks fell sharply after the Federal Reserve indicated that while the end may be near for its market-rattling hikes to interest rates, it still doesn’t expect to cut rates this year. Markets lost momentum after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that, along with an insistence that it could keep raising rates if inflation stays high. But traders on Thursday were still largely betting the Fed will cut rates later this year. Such cuts can act like steroids for markets, juicing prices for stocks, bonds and other investments.
