U.S ‘very concerned’ by China as it stands behind Taiwan
Following news that 93 Chinese military planes have flown through Taiwan’s airspace over the last three days, the United States has reiterated its support for the nation
The US State Department says the actions of Beijing’s government are “destabilising” and it is “very concerned” by China’s provocative actions.
China of course views Taiwan as a breakaway province that could be brought back under its control by force if necessary.
Taiwan has been complaining for more than a year about repeated missions by China’s air force near the island nation.
Meanwhile, the US State Department says it is “urging Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan.”
On Saturday, a total of 39 Chinese military jets flew into the same area… which is the largest incursion by Beijing to date.

Jimmy Kimmel has returned to screens after being pulled from the air over remarks linked to the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. His comeback was met with a standing ovation and chants of his name from the studio audience.
The host acknowledged the controversy, admitting his comments may have been ill-timed, and broke into tears while stressing it was never his intention to make light of the tragedy. He thanked both his supporters and those who defended his right to speak despite disagreeing with him.
Kimmel’s return comes amid disputes between ABC affiliates, with some stations still refusing to air the programme. His comeback has also drawn the attention of Donald Trump, who celebrated the hiatus before the show went live.

Tech stocks fall as gold reigns supreme
Markets retreated Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.6% as tech giants fell and energy stocks gained.
Markets retreated Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.6% as tech giants fell and energy stocks gained.
– Monday’s market activity declined due to lack of catalysts, with sellers dominating and equities falling.
– The S&P 500 dropped 0.6%, affected by selling pressure in tech and consumer sectors, while energy stocks rose.
A lack of catalysts led to a decline in market activity on Monday, as buyers withdrew and sellers dominated trading. While cash equity volumes remained steady, selling pressure was evident in stocks like Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Microsoft. The absence of buyers resulted in equities falling under the weight of these selling flows.Markets reacted to comments from Federal Reserve officials, including Chair Jay Powell and Governor Michelle Bowman, but their remarks provided little new information for interest rates. Bowman expressed concerns about the Fed being behind the curve, citing a fragile labour market. Economic indicators such as the core PCE inflation and jobless claims may influence future Fed decisions.
Market Dynamics
The S&P 500 ended the day down 0.6%, reflecting selling dynamics after a flat trading start. The tech and consumer discretionary sectors lagged, while energy stocks gained. Treasury yields decreased, and a solid 2-year Treasury auction occurred with little impact from PMIs. Currency markets showed mixed results, with notable activity in Australian and Latin American forex pairs. In commodities, platinum rose significantly, raising questions about market trends, while gold faced minor profit-taking.
