Local witnesses say an attack occurred in an area of Tehran, the Iranian capital, near the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for electing the Supreme Leader.March 3 – The UK government is cutting bond issuance to its lowest level in three years, reflecting an improved fiscal situation. The UK Debt Management Agency announced on Tuesday that it will sell £252.1 billion in bonds in the fiscal year beginning in April. While this figure is slightly higher than the £245 billion expected by banks in a survey, it is significantly lower than the £303.7 billion expected for the current fiscal year. Although the reduced supply is good news for bond investors, UK government bonds were still sold off this week due to inflation concerns fueled by the Middle East conflict, which could prevent the Bank of England from further cutting interest rates. Following the announcement, 10-year government bonds maintained their earlier decline, with the yield rising 15 basis points to 4.52%. This bond sale plan follows Chancellor Reeves economic statement. Although recent fiscal statements have triggered market turmoil, benchmark UK government bond yields fell to their lowest level since 2024 last week due to stronger fiscal conditions and expectations of interest rate cuts.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman: The Federal Reserve should review the effectiveness of its liquidity regulatory rules.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman: The liquidity framework does not adequately address bank stress.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman did not comment on monetary policy or the economic outlook in her prepared remarks for an event related to bank liquidity rules.

Tesla attempts to repeal Louisiana's ban on direct car sales

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has filed a lawsuit contesting the state of Louisiana's refusal to let the company sell vehicles directly to consumers, arguing that the state's move is protectionist and anticompetitive.


This case is the most current effort to overturn direct sales bans in some states against the electric vehicle maker, who circumvented traditional car dealerships. Customers in these states must travel to neighboring states in order to purchase Tesla vehicles.


Tesla asserted that Louisiana officials violated state and federal antitrust laws by barring direct sales since 2017 and attempted to restrict leasing and servicing of the company's vehicles in the state.


The case, which was filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, alleges that "protectionist, anti-competitive, and ineffective state regulation excessively restricts the freedom of Louisiana consumers."


Tesla alleged that Louisiana dealers, the dealer association, and several Motor Vehicle Commission members engaged in an "illegal conspiracy" to prohibit the firm from conducting business in the state.


Tesla sued Michigan in 2016 over the state's restriction on direct sales and reached a settlement with the state in 2020 allowing Tesla's subsidiary to service vehicles in Michigan.
