According to a Financial Times report, the Bank of England (BoE) faced doubt from financial markets over its ability to deliver on its 2% inflation target.

Last year, the BoE predicted that inflation would be at 3% as both interest rates and unemployment stayed above 5% by the end of 2024. However, the situation turned out more positive as the report revealed that inflation eased closer to the 2% target while interest rates…

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Touzi Capital and its CEO, Eng Taing, alleging a $115 million fraud scheme that misled more than 1,500 investors nationwide.

The investments were marketed as “stable and predictable,” and Taing reportedly likened them to high-yield savings accounts. But the SEC alleges the investments were…
