A historic $30 billion settlement between Visa and Mastercard aims to reduce credit and debit card fees for retailers, which might result in cheaper costs for customers. Subject to court approval, this antitrust settlement intends to resolve 2005era charges that the card networks imposed onerous antisteering regulations and exorbitant swipe costs. Visa and Mastercard have agreed to remove antisteering clauses, lower swipe rates, and cap fees for several years. Both firms acknowledge the importance of the agreement in resolving issues brought up by small businesses, even if they deny any misconduct.

Dell Technologies Implements Workforce Reduction Amid CostCutting Initiative

To save costs, Dell Technologies announced a decrease in staff, which included internal reorganisations and restrictions on hiring from outside. As of

To save costs, Dell Technologies announced a decrease in staff, which included internal reorganisations and restrictions on hiring from outside. As of February 2, 2024, the firm employed around 120,000 people, down from approximately 126,000 a year earlier. This action comes after a reduction in sales, with fourthquarter results reporting an 11% decline, partly due to a nearly twoyear period of weak demand for personal computers. Despite obstacles, Dell expects net sales growth for its Client Solutions Division CSG, which includes PCs, throughout the year. It does, however, anticipate higher input costs and an ongoing decline in net revenue for other businesses as a result of the modifications to its business arrangement with VMware. Dell trimmed 6,650 positions last year in preparation for a potential recession and declining PC demand. Read More..

Swiss National Bank SNB Surprises Markets with First Rate Cut in Nine Years

The primary interest rate of the Swiss National Bank SNB dropped by 25 basis points to 1.50%, surprising the markets with the banks first rate reduction in nine years. The decline in Swiss inflation and the strengthening of the Swiss currency drove this decision, the first of its kind by a major central bank to reverse stricter monetary policies intended to combat inflation. The efficacy of previous measures to combat inflation was underlined by SNB Chairman Thomas Jordan, who noted the banks latest inflation estimates, which predict inflation would stay within the target range of 02%. Given the SNBs history of prudence, analysts consider the rate drop a daring move and anticipate such reductions. The decision contrasts with recent moves by other central banks, including the Bank of Japans interest rate hike and rate hikes by central banks in Taiwan and Turkey. Read More..
