Charles Maines: 习近平对莫斯科的访问旨在深化中俄关系,尽管乌克兰战争带来了摩擦。中国在乌克兰问题上保持中立,但对战争对全球经济的影响并不满意。普京则寻求超越贸易的更多支持,并试图将俄罗斯与西方的冲突与中国与美国的紧张关系联系起来。普京对马里乌波尔的访问试图掩盖该城市的破坏,并将其归咎于乌克兰军队。克里姆林宫认为国际刑事法院对普京的战争罪指控无效。 Ilya Merits: 阿尔文·布拉格是曼哈顿地区检察官,他曾拒绝起诉唐纳德·特朗普的一个案件,但目前正在调查另一个案件,特朗普声称自己将在周二被起诉。布拉格在任初期面临一些公共关系问题,例如“第一天信函”引发的争议,以及对特朗普案件的处理。布拉格对继承的针对特朗普的调查进行了重新评估,并决定继续进行调查。布拉格正在调查针对特朗普的沉默费支付案,该案可能难以胜诉,但布拉格正在从头开始建立自己的案件。如果大陪审团对特朗普提出起诉,将特朗普带到现场进行指纹识别和提堂的物流将是对布拉格协调能力的巨大考验。 Rob Schmitz: 瑞士联合银行收购瑞士信贷银行,这笔交易旨在避免全球银行业危机蔓延。瑞士政府迅速促成这笔交易是为了避免瑞士信贷银行破产可能造成的连锁反应。这笔交易能否阻止其他银行挤兑,取决于人们对整体金融体系健康状况的悲观程度。这笔交易被认为是“bail-in”,而非“bailout”,但市场反应并不乐观,UBS股价下跌超过14%。这笔交易虽然旨在稳定市场,但仍存在蔓延风险,市场反应消极。
