On January 25th, an international group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms (META.O), accusing the company of making false claims regarding the privacy and security of its WhatsApp chat service. Meta touts its so-called "end-to-end" encryption as a core feature of WhatsApp, meaning that only the sender and receiver can read messages, and the company itself cannot access them. The company claims this encryption is enabled by default, and in-app messages show that only people in the current chat can read, listen to, or share messages. The plaintiff group filed the lawsuit on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Francisco, accusing Meta of making false privacy claims. They claim that Meta and WhatsApp store, analyze, and have access to virtually all of WhatsApp users supposedly private communications, and accuse the company and its executives of defrauding billions of WhatsApp users worldwide. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone stated in an email that the lawsuit is baseless and that the company will seek sanctions against the plaintiffs lawyers.January 25th - Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun posted that the new generation SU7 Capri Blue is very beautiful in person, and they are striving to have some demo cars in dealerships before the Spring Festival, so everyone can experience it firsthand.

Despite the fact that Eurozone interest rates are anticipated to peak sooner, the EUR/GBP looks to have breached over 0.8630

The EUR/GBP pair has had a stronger recovery from 0.8580 during the Asian session, approaching the pivotal 0.8630 level. Despite the European Central Bank (ECB) being close to reaching an interest rate high, there has been strong demand for Euro bulls. Thus, the monetary policy meeting scheduled for next week will be of utmost significance.

 

The cross is attempting to break strongly above the significant barrier of 0.8630 for the fourth time this week. The hawkish remarks made by ECB policymakers are holding back the euro bulls.

 

"There will be another rate hike," said Constantinos Herodotou, governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, "but we are very near to neutral." The European Central Bank's chief economist, Phillip Lane, is unsure as to whether the inflation peak has already occurred or will take place in 2019. He stated that although "much has already been done," he does not rule out more rate increases.

 

Investors are currently looking forward to Christine Lagarde's speech, which will be revealed on Thursday. The ECB President is likely to lower her inflation projection in her future statement in light of the poor retail sales numbers.

 

In contrast to expectations for a 1.7% loss, this week's Eurozone retail sales numbers showed a 1.8% decline. Aside from that, annual economic data contraction came in at 2.7% as opposed to the 2.6% consensus expectation. A decline in household demand demonstrates the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy tightening initiatives. To reach their sales targets, firms could feel pressured to lower the prices of their products and services.

 

The United Kingdom's deteriorating food crisis, brought on by growing costs and a labor shortfall, has had an impact on the Pound Sterling. According to Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, "the government and the entire supply chain must act swiftly." The Financial Times stated that "tomorrow might be too late." The economy already faces rising food inflation, and the issue with the supply of food will make matters worse.
