Haley Endorsement Marks Presidential Return of Koch Donor Network

The billionaire Koch family and its network of like-minded donors are tiptoeing back into presidential politics, putting money behind their opposition to former President Donald Trump and backing an alternative candidate in the 2024 Republican primary, Nikki Haley.So far, it hasn’t committed a lot of money to its play, which is seen by some as a long-shot bid to reassert influence in a party dominated by Trump and as a way to appease donors who want to be more politically active.  Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

China’s Yuan Is Quietly Gaining Ground

Chinese assets have had a terrible year—but China’s currency is gaining ground as an international payments option.The yuan’s status as a global currency still faces a huge obstacle in the form of China’s own capital controls. Even so, rising willingness to conduct trade in yuan could help insulate China’s economy, at least to an extent, in the event sanctions were imposed in a hypothetical future conflict with the West. It also could become a source of structural support for the yuan itself, even assuming weaker-than-expected Chinese growth in the years to come.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

New Yelp Has Earned Its Extra Stars

Buying growth is rarely a cheap concept, especially for small tech companies that lack the pocketbooks of their much larger peers. Yelp knows this well. Founded 19 years ago as a pioneer in the field of online reviews for local businesses, Yelp has established an Internet advertising business now generating more than $1.2 billion a year in revenue. That is a 10-fold increase from when the company went public in 2012—and about what Google generates in ad revenue every two days. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Biden’s Drug-Price Boomerang – WSJ

President Biden keeps trying to persuade Americans his policies are helping them, but voters aren’t buying it. The latest example is the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Medicare drug rebates, which are raising the cost of medicines. The White House on Thursday proclaimed that the IRA’s drug rebates are already saving seniors money: “President Biden’s prescription drug law cracks down on price gouging from Big Pharma.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
