FinWeekly has all the details on the latest market and financial news: In this week's episode, we kick things off by unpacking the economic implications of the US response to the drone strike against our troops in Jordan. Shifting to international finance, we explore the collapse of China Evergrande Group, once a symbol of the country’s robust property market. We also cover China's proactive measures to rescue its economy amidst challenges from a property crisis, deflation, and weak consumer confidence. In South Korea, the regulators’ discovery of $41 million in illegal naked short selling by undisclosed global banks underscores a broader crackdown on illicit financial practices.
