I Would Like You To Find Two Recent Nothing Earlier Than Aug

I Would Like You To Findtworecent Nothing Earlier Than August 2018 A

I would like you to find TWO recent (nothing earlier than August 2018, and preferably very recent) news stories that relate to material we have covered in this course. For each story, either paste the link or write the title of the article (you do not need to write a formal bibliography), and then provide no more than three paragraphs (and preferably just one to two) on how the article related to the course. You can also add some additional information (see what this means in the example I give below when I write “I learned in class that.......”). The stories should cover different topics: in other words, do not send me three stories on the bond market. Once again, see a small sample assignment below.

TIPS: The best source is probably the Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg, but any source is good. Many stories in the Wall Street Journal are not available for free. There are two ways to access them: 1. Google the exact title of the story. Sometimes other sites pick up the story and present it in full.

2. Use the online tool at the FAU library. Follow these steps (note: if you are doing this off campus, at some point you will need to enter in your OWL Card number or MyFAU login information). By the way, if you are on campus, the physical library has paper copies of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times that you can look through. a. Go to fau.edu b. Click “Current Students” c. Click Library d. Click Electronic Journals e. Type in Wall Street Journal f. Click the first link under the fourth category “Wall Street Journal. Eastern Edition” g. Towards the bottom, there is something that says Browse specific Issues. Click 2010 to 2015. Then keep clicking until you get to the most recent issues. Browse the title of the stories and then click on something you like. 3. Another source is the CFO Journal. Just google “CFO Journal”. Other free sources :

Paper For Above instruction

Recent News Story 1: "Tesla’s Price Cuts Spark Competition and Market Share Battles" (Published August 2023)

The article discusses Tesla's recent strategic decision to reduce vehicle prices significantly, aiming to boost sales and expand its market share amid intensifying competition in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. This move relates directly to the course topics of pricing strategies, competitive dynamics, and the impact of technological innovation on market competition. Tesla's price cuts have prompted responses from competitors such as Ford and General Motors, who are also accelerating their EV development and pricing strategies.

From the course perspective, this news highlights how firms use pricing as a strategic weapon to gain competitive advantage, especially in rapidly evolving technology sectors. Additionally, it demonstrates the importance of market positioning, brand differentiation, and the role of innovation in sustaining long-term competitive advantage. I learned in class that aggressive pricing can be used not only to increase market share but also to deter new entrants and strengthen the firm's competitive moat.

Recent News Story 2: "US Inflation Data Shows Signs of Easing, but Fed Signals Caution" (Published September 2023)

This article covers recent inflation reports indicating a slowdown in core inflation rates, which influences monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve. The Fed has signaled that while inflation is cooling, it remains vigilant and may continue to adjust interest rates if necessary. This relates to the course topics of monetary policy, inflation targeting, and macroeconomic stability.

Understanding the implications of inflation data is crucial for assessing economic health and making forecasts related to interest rates, investment, and employment. I learned in class that central banks use inflation data as a key input in their policy decisions, balancing the goal of price stability with supporting economic growth. The article exemplifies how macroeconomic indicators influence financial markets and corporate decisions, emphasizing the interconnectedness of monetary policy and overall economic performance.
