The S&P 500 reached a fresh closing high of 5,178.51 on March 19, 2024, marking a new milestone for the index. This comes after a year-to-date rally of 9.2% and a 23.9% gain in 2023. The U.S. GDP grew by 2.5% in 2023, up from 1.9% in 2022, and the Atlanta Fed GDPNow predicts a 2.1% growth in the first quarter of 2024. The Federal Reserve's pause on rate hikes and the possibility of interest rate cuts this year have also contributed to market optimism .

Interactive Investor Calls for Scrapping Stamp Duty on Share Trading
===============
#73f00b98 ver:0.08
Hong Kong has implemented measures to revive its struggling economy by slashing the property stamp duty and reducing taxes for foreign home buyers and stock traders. The aim is to boost the property market, attract investment, and maintain Hong Kong's status as a global financial hub. The government hopes that these measures will stimulate economic growth and encourage market activity. However, critics argue that more comprehensive actions are necessary to address the underlying issues contributing to the economic downturn. Despite the tax cuts, experts predict that it will take time for the property market to recover and for the economy to rebound.

Large crowds have gathered in cities across Cuba to protest against the worsening food and fuel shortages, as well as frequent electricity blackouts.

===============
#d72899bf ver:0.24
A 19-year-old man from Childersburg, Alabama, named Lakendrick Jamal Jones, has been denied youthful offender status by Circuit Judge Will Hollingsworth. Jones was indicted for capital murder in January and had the right to request youthful offender status, despite being automatically certified as an adult. However, Judge Hollingsworth denied the request on Thursday, according to Talladega County District Attorney Steve Giddens .
This development in the case of Lakendrick Jamal Jones highlights the complexities of the justice system when dealing with young individuals accused of serious crimes. The denial of youthful offender status means that Jones will be tried as an adult, potentially facing harsher penalties if convicted. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of the youthfu...

Iran's Currency Hits Record Low as Economic Struggles Continue
===============
#b76b706f ver:0.17
Iran's currency, the rial, has reached a record low of 613,500 rials to the dollar during the Persian New Year celebrations. The closure of most exchange shops during the Nowruz holidays has contributed to the low prices. The two-week holiday period drives the demand for US dollars and Euros, affecting other markets such as housing and rentals. The rial has been depreciating significantly since 2015, falling from 32,000 rials to the dollar to the hundreds of thousands. The government's inflation rate for February 2024 was reported at 42.5% by the Statistics Center and over 46% by the Central Bank. The strained relations between Iran and the West, as well as tensions in the Middle East, have further complicated Iran's economic situation. The dire economic conditions have led to widespread a...

The treasurer of Australia, Jim Chalmers, has stated that the Australian economy has a 'rare trifecta' of low unemployment, easing inflation, and growing wages. He emphasized that tax cuts are not a substitute for wage boosts and that the lowest-paid workers cannot have their pay go backwards during a cost-of-living crisis. The government's tax cuts, set to come into effect in July, are expected to provide some financial relief. Labor will make its submission to the Fair Work Commission on changes to minimum wages and awards during its 2023-24 wage review. The Fair Work Commission is expected to make its decision later in 2024 .
The rate of job cuts in Australia has decreased, with only 22% of organizations planning redundancies in March, down from 31% in the previous quarter. This trend ...
