On September 15th, according to a European Commission document, the EU will propose a restriction banning children under 15 from using social media, video-sharing platforms, AI chatbots, and online games. This will be the most comprehensive plan the EU has proposed to date to protect children from online risks. This EU proposal is part of the "EU Kids Act," and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU technology chief Henna Verkunin will announce the plan on Thursday. Von der Leyen may reveal some details in her annual EU policy speech on Wednesday. The document states: "The EUs approach should allow minors to enjoy the enormous potential of digital services while preventing them from being abused and commercialized online. It is necessary to limit the ability of technology companies to access and influence children, rather than the other way around, limiting the children themselves." The European Commissions proposal will also cover video game platforms and allow for phased access restrictions on different services based on age. Furthermore, the obligations imposed on businesses will depend on the type of service and the childs age.French Foreign Minister Barro: Russias attack on the railway near the Ukrainian-Polish border is unacceptable; the targeted train was only a few hundred meters from the EU and NATO borders.

Tuesday's closing prices for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were higher than those of the previous day, with large-cap growth stocks appreciating in the wake of the previous day's selloff as Treasury yields declined.


In tandem with yields, bank shares declined. The yield on benchmark 10-year notes fell from a three-year high to below 3 percent.


The Dow likewise closed lower, and the day's trading was bumpy, with key indexes fluctuating between gains and losses as investors anticipated the release of U.S. consumer price index and producer price index data on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.


Investors will search for indications that inflation is at its high.


The recent market decline has been fueled by concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve may need to act more aggressively to combat inflation. Numerous additional worries have added to the tension.


Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma, stated, "It's basically fear-based selling."


"It can't just be that the Fed will raise interest rates to combat inflation, because we've seen this before," he said. According to Dollarhide, investors have been concerned about everything from interest rates and inflation to the war in Ukraine, supply chain issues, and China's COVID-19 lockouts.


Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares increased by 1.6%, boosting the S&P 500 and Nasdaq the most.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 84.96 points, or 0.26 percent, to 32,160.74, while the S&P 500 rose 9.81 points, or 0.25 percent, to 4,001.05 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 114.42 points, or 0.98 percent, to 11,737.67.


Technology and growth stocks, whose valuations are primarily dependent on future cash flows, have been among the hardest affected during the recent selloff. The Nasdaq is down almost 25% so far this year.


The technology sector of the S&P 500 increased 1.6% on the day and led all S&P 500 sector advances. The S&P 500 growth index increased by 0.9%, while the S&P 500 value index declined by 0.4%.


Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stated that the U.S. economy would encounter turbulence as a result of the Fed's attempts to reduce inflation that is more than three times its target, and that recent stock market volatility will not dissuade policymakers.


In a speech on Tuesday addressing excessive inflation, Vice President Joe Biden said he was considering lifting Trump-era tariffs on China as a means of reducing prices for goods in the United States.


Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) shares jumped 1.7% after the company announced it will pay $11.6 billion to acquire Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Co. (NYSE:BHVN). Biohaven shares increased 68.4%.


Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) fell 8.7 percent as the workout equipment manufacturer cautioned the business was "thinly financed" following a quarterly revenue decline of 23.6 percent.


The volume on U.S. exchanges was 15.45 billion shares, compared to the average of 12.55 billion shares for the previous 20 trading days.


On the NYSE, declining issues outnumbered advancing ones by a ratio of 1.36 to 1; on the Nasdaq, the ratio was 1.34 to 1.


The S&P 500 had one new 52-week high and sixty-three new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded nineteen new highs and one thousand six hundred sixty-six new lows.
