The latest on Robinhood’s pending IPO explores how the stock-trading app is hoping to use its own offering as a test run for its plan to open future listings to everyday investors right away—a highly unusual” move that, if successful, could “upend the traditional I.P.O. process” - NYTimes
New FTC Chief Lina Khan is putting the “right to repair” on her early to-do list, helping guide the Commission to adopt measures to “step up efforts targeting manufacturers if the agency determines repair restrictions are illegal.” Consumer advocacy groups have argued that restrictive repairs have harmed consumers across a range of industries—from smartphones to tractors—and restricted competition - WSJ and TechCrunch

Ahead of their July meeting next week, Federal Reserve officials appear to be doing a bit of media work laying the groundwork for an earlier-than-anticipated tapering of their “easy-money policies amid a stronger U.S. economic recovery.” Agenda items one and two: when to start cutting monthly securities purchases and by how much - WSJ

Treasury Department officials working on selling the new international tax agreement “aimed at cracking down on tax shelters” are testing arguments that the deal “would restore order to globalization and blunt the forces of protectionism and populism that have posed a threat to business in recent years.” That is, we need to sign on in order to make globalization work as it was supposed to - NYTimes
The DOJ appears poised to strike a settlement over three of the five markets the mammoth Aon/Willis Towers Watson merger would allegedly negatively impact. Justice Department officials had sued to stop the proposed merger over concerns it “would reduce competition and leave American customers with fewer choices, higher prices and lower-quality services” in the insurance world – Law360
