Dolls in neon pink dreamhouses, scientists at Los Alamos, or both? "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" hit North American movie theaters on Friday, in what is expected to be among Hollywood's biggest weekends of the year -- inspiring a frenzy for the diametrically opposed films. But as fans of the iconic toy and history buffs interested in the father of the atomic bomb flocked to cinemas, actors and writers remained on strike, casting a pall over the outlook for the film industry. For now, both movies are off to strong starts with the cotton candy-hued "Barbie" bringing in $22.

It's hard not to picture Arizona gubernatorial dopeful Kari Lake sitting at a mall Chili's bar four years from now with the last soldier who doesn't know World War II is over and the most popular REO Speedwagon tribute band on MySpace as she whines and reminisces in equal measure about the good old days.  Lake remains in thrall to her delusions, including that she won her election in November and that Donald Trump is simply too stable and genius-y to have possibly lost in 2020. She is currently in court challenging her loss.

BEIJING – China's finance ministry on Monday issued preferential tax policy for some small firms and household businesses, as part of steps to support the economic recovery. China will levy a 20 percent income tax for small firms with annual sales not exceeding 1 million yuan ($145,340.39), effective from the start of 2023 to the end of 2024, the ministry said in a notice. Small firms to enjoy the lower tax – versus the standard 25 percent rate – need to have annual taxable income not exceeding 3 million yuan, the number of employees not exceeding 300, and total assets not exceeding 50 million yuan, the ministry said.

NEW YORK: The Dow and S&P 500 ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors stayed worried the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer and as banks shares eased. The Nasdaq finished barely in the green. The financial sector fell 0.9% and was the biggest drag on the S&P 500. An S&P downgrade of credit ratings of multiple regional US lenders weighed on banks shares, with the KBW regional banking index sliding 2.7% and the S&P 500 banks index falling 2.4%. Investors hope for clarity on the rate outlook when Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks at a meeting of central bankers on Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
