The Trump administration is reportedly in discussions with four different groups regarding&nbsp;the sale of the Chinese short video platform, TikTok.
What Happened: On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that his administration was communicating with four different groups regarding the sale of TikTok, reported Reuters. TikTok&#8217;s future has been uncertain since a Biden-administration law, that requires its owner, ByteDance, to either sell the platform on national security grounds by Apr 5 or risk a ban, came into effect on Jan 19.
President Trump, after assuming office on Jan. 20, signed an executive order aiming to postpone the law&#8217;s enforcement by 75 days. When asked if a deal on TikTok was imminent, Trump told reporters while on board Air Force One, &#8220;It could.&#8221; 
&#8220;We&#8217;re dealing with four different groups, and a lot of people want it &#8230; all four are good,&#8221; he added.
Although ByteDance has not expressed any interest in selling TikTok's U.S. operations, CEO Chew Shou Zi met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in December and was also present at his inauguration ceremony.

Why It Matters: The potential sale of TikTok comes amid growing tensions between the U.S. and China over data security. The uncertainty at TikTok has also attracted several potential buyers, including Frank McCourt, former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. McCourt&#8217;s bid for TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations has been bolstered by the addition of Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) co-founder and venture capitalist Alexis Ohanian as a strategic adviser for Project Liberty, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44100560/reddit-co-founder-alexis-ohanian-joins-frank-mccourts-tiktok-bid-amid-competition-from-mrbeast-jesse-tinsley-and-reid-rasner">known as &#8220;The People&#8217;s Bid&#8221;</a>.  
YouTube&nbsp;star&nbsp;MrBeast and tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley are some of the other bidders. Notably, Trump has also suggested the name of Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>). Analysts estimate the fast-growing business&nbsp;could be worth as much&nbsp;as $50 billion.
Interestingly, Elon Musk, the owner of the X social network, has stated that he is not interested.
Trump&#8217;s comments come on the heels of TikTok <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/02/44040537/tiktok-invests-8-8-billion-in-thailand-data-centers-bypassing-us-china-tech-tensions">committing $8.8 billion </a>in data centers in Thailand over five years, bypassing US-China tech tensions.

The Logility Board of Directors has determined that the Unsolicited Proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal under the terms of the Aptean Merger Agreement. As a result of the Logility Board of Directors' determination, Logility may, under the terms of the Aptean Merger Agreement, engage in discussions with the unsolicited bidder based on the Unsolicited Proposal and Logility intends to do so.
The Aptean Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect, and the Logility Board of Directors reaffirms its existing recommendation that Logility's shareholders vote in favor of the transaction with Aptean.

ASE Technology Reported February 2025 Revenue Of $1.37B, Up 8.3% YoY; ATM Revenue Of $835M, Up 12.3% YoY

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya believes a proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates would significantly disrupt the financial services industry while potentially benefiting consumers.
What Happened: &#8220;This would be phenomenally disruptive,&#8221; Palihapitiya wrote Sunday on X. &#8220;Would force everyone who can embrace ultra low cost rails to emerge. Incumbents would be in trouble for sure.&#8221;
Palihapitiya was responding to news that Congresswoman Anna Luna (R-FL) is working with Rep. Alexandria Cortez (D-NY) on legislation to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
His comments come as President Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have independently supported similar proposals. Sanders announced plans to introduce legislation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42737402/bernie-sanders-supports-trumps-credit-card-interest-rate-cap-at-10-amid-highest-defaults-since-2008-visa-and-mastercard-trade-in-the-red">backing Trump&#8217;s 10% cap idea</a>.

The initiative gains significance as credit card defaults reach their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis. U.S. credit card lenders wrote off $46 billion in seriously delinquent loan balances during the first nine months of 2024, a 50% increase year-over-year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42721109/mark-cuban-once-said-credit-card-users-dont-want-to-be-rich-now-us-credit-card-defaults-have-skyrocketed-to-highest-levels-since-2008-financial-crisis">according to BankRegData</a>.

Why It Matters: While Palihapitiya acknowledged he &#8220;generally hate[s] price controls,&#8221; he expressed support for &#8220;ultra low cost rails in financial services.&#8221; His view contrasts with industry warnings that such caps could restrict credit access for lower-income Americans.
Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), the nation&#8217;s third-largest credit card lender, reported its credit card write-off rate increased to 6.1% in November, up from 5.2% a year ago.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian highlighted the risks of an economic slowdown as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated that the economy was growing at a &#8220;solid pace&#8221; during his Friday address at the University of Chicago.
What Happened: During a podcast with Forward Guidance, the chief economic advisor at Allianz, El-Erian underscored &#8220;two disturbing data&#8221; sets on the stagflation side.
This included a fall in February&#8217;s ISM Manufacturing New Orders Index, which contracted to 48.6% after expanding for three months, indicating a weakening demand and a decline in new orders compared to the previous month.
The other data set highlighted by El-Erian included February&#8217;s job report, wherein nonfarm payrolls increased by 151,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%, the highest in 3.5 years, thus inducing uncertainty in the labour market. However, &#8220;one qualification is the slip in labor force participation,&#8221; from 62.6% to 62.4%, according to him.
&#8220;So the concern that we all have, is that while growth is slowing down, companies will feel that they need to pass on the higher costs into higher prices, of course that&#8217;s why tariffs play a major role because people are worried that it won&#8217;t be a once and for all effect, it may be a repeated effect, so there&#8217;s a price level and then there&#8217;s an inflation effect,&#8221; he said.
Economic slowdown was &#8220;the talk of the town,&#8221; El-Erian said while highlighting lower oil prices, negative stock futures, lower yields, and a weaker dollar on Monday.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump did not rule out a recession this year, acknowledging potential short-term turbulence from his economic agenda but expressing confidence in future prosperity. In a Fox News interview, he said, "I hate to predict things like that" and called the changes "very big."

Why It Matters: Despite the looming uncertainties and the difficulty of businesses to chart their way forward, Fed Chair Powell <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20250307a.htm">said</a>, &#8220;The U.S. economy continues to be in a good place.&#8221;
He reaffirmed that the labor market is solid, and inflation has moved closer to the 2% longer-run goal. &#8220;At the Federal Reserve, we are intently focused on the dual-mandate goals given to us by Congress: maximum employment and stable prices,&#8221; Powell said.
Outlining the future course of action, he said that if inflation doesn&#8217;t fall to the 2% goal, the Fed will maintain policy restraint for longer and if the labor market weakens, the Fed will ease the policy accordingly.
Talking about the rate cuts, El-Erian added that he sees one cut and not three cuts in 2025 because of the persistent inflation and how the Fed is unlikely to &#8220;look through&#8221; that issue, the way they did in 2021.

Four Canadian stores of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) have been suspected of exploiting the country&#8217;s EV rebate program. The stores are said to have sold an average of 30&nbsp;cars per hour over three days, claiming&nbsp;over 50% of the&nbsp;remaining rebate funds.
What Happened: Four Tesla stores in Canada managed to sell an average of 30 cars per hour, amounting to 120 cars per hour across all four locations, as <a href="https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/tesla-gamed-the-system-canadian-auto-dealers-stiffed-millions-when-u-s-giant-rushed-to/article_6d1025c6-fa0a-11ef-b780-a73277202cb2.html">reported </a>by the Toronto Star on Friday. 
This sales boom lasted for three consecutive days, even during hours when the stores were supposedly closed. Reportedly, a total of 8,653 cars were sold during the final 72 hours of the EV rebate program, also known as the iZEV Program.
Consequently, the Elon Musk-led company applied&nbsp;for C$43.1 million ($30 million) in&nbsp;rebates, which is over&nbsp;half of the remaining C$71.8&nbsp;million ($50 million) allocated for EV&nbsp;rebates.
The iZEV rebate program provided incentives ranging from C$2,500 ($1740.29) to C$5,000 ($3480.57) for purchasing electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Dealerships applied the rebate directly to the purchase price, anticipating reimbursement from the government.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
As a result of the incident, the rival brands haven&#8217;t been able to access the EV credits as Tesla claimed more than half of them. The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), has received rebate claims for 2,295 electric vehicles from 226 dealers who are yet to receive the reimbursement, resulting in a collective shortfall of C$10 million.
CADA&#8217;s spokesperson, Huw Williams, told the Toronto Star, "Somehow, Tesla gamed the system. What we can't figure out is how this could have happened without setting off alarm bells."
Notably, Transport Canada, the body which oversees the iZEV rebate program, has not clarified whether any wrongdoing took place. It also stated that there is no restriction preventing Tesla from submitting rebate paperwork in bulk after delivering sold cars.

Why It Matters: Tesla has been struggling in Canada, wherein thousands of Canadians have even signed a petition for revoking Musk&#8217;s Canadian citizenship. According to&nbsp;data from shop4tesla.com, the EV maker&#8217;s sales in Canada have dropped by approximately 70% between December 2024 and January 2025.
This surge in sales comes on the heels of Tesla&#8217;s recent offer of lifetime free supercharging for new Foundation Series Cybertruck purchases in Canada. Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44160193/tesla-offers-lifetime-free-supercharging-on-foundation-series-cybertruck-purchases-in-canada-mexico">announced this offer </a>to make the expensive truck more appealing to customers. The offer, valid for orders placed on or after March 5, lasts for the duration of the customer's ownership of the vehicle and is non-transferable.
