The February improvement suggests that Americans are becoming more optimistic about their financial situation and the economy’s near-term outlook. Consumer confidence is a key economic indicator because it reflects…

Emergency Trade Powers and Corporate Anxiety The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974…
Unlicensed gambling companies could lose the right to sponsor Premier League clubs under new government plans. Ministers launched a consultation after a series of controversies involving weak anti-money-laundering controls, links to organised crime and explicit online promotions.

Clubs have already agreed to remove all gambling logos from the front of shirts after this season. The voluntary move will not cover sleeve deals or other partnerships. Unlicensed firms could still gain exposure through those routes. The…
