Recent Financial News Highlights

Oil prices settled lower last week, marking their steepest weekly loss in three months. Weak US jobs data and speculation regarding a Federal Reserve interest rate cut contributed to this downturn. Berkshire Hathaway notably reduced its stake in Apple during the first quarter, as Warren Buffett's conglomerate amassed a record $189 billion cash reserve. Despite this, the company posted a record operating profit exceeding $11 billion. Wall Street closed higher on Friday following a softer than expected employment report, fueling expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut and demonstrating US economic resilience. All three major US stocks posted robust gains.
