UPS IPO Provident Reuters information reports What's wrong with Nvidia-backed cloud services provider? Report claims CoreWeave plans to reduce US IPO

The sale would fetch up to $1.5 billion, Reuters reported.

CoreWeave and some existing investors had initially aimed to sell 49 million shares in the offering priced between $47 and $55 each to raise as much as $2.7 billion. The company did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

UPS Career show performer stage bowling 'Lord' Shardul Thakur gets Purple Cap: From unsold to getting the , how the all-rounder dismantled SRH's destructive batting line-up

IPL 2024 auction, Shardul Thakur made a roaring comeback, proving his worth on the big stage. The pacer, who went without a bid initially, was later roped in by Lucknow Super Giants as a replacement—and he wasted no time in making an impact. Facing the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive batting lineup, Thakur delivered a stunning performance, rattling the opposition with his fiery spell. His crucial breakthroughs by getting rid of Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan dismantled SRH’s top order, restricting them from running away with the game. He went on to pick Abhinav Manohar in the 17th over, getting the purple cap with 5 wickets in the season already. Known for his ability to strike at crucial moments, Thakur’s spell was a game-changer, as he also was on a hat-trick in the powerplay itself, sending Kishan, who scored a ton in the previous match, for a golden duck. Thakur’s brilliance was not a one-off show. In the previous match against Delhi Capitals, he had already signaled his return to form by picking up two key wickets, helping Lucknow tighten their grip on the contest.

Twitter Reuters Platform ByteDance TikTok reports Why does China’s TikTok matter so much to Donald Trump?

Trump is doing all he can to save TikTok, the hugely popular video-sharing app owned by Chinese Internet company ByteDance. It's unusual because not long ago Trump had wanted to ban it. In a desperate bid to make TikTok American, he said on Wednesday he would be willing to reduce tariffs on China if it allows ByteDance to sell the app to an American buyer. However, AFP has reported that China has rebuffed Trump's offer, with its foreign ministry saying that it has «repeatedly stated our position» on TikTok. «The Chinese side's stance against imposing additional tariffs is also consistent and clear,» foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said. A US law during the Biden administration ordered TikTok to divest from its Chinese owner ByteDance or be banned in the US, enacted over concerns that Beijing could exploit the video-sharing platform to spy on Americans or covertly influence US public opinion. The law took effect on January 19, a day before Trump's inauguration. TikTok temporarily shut down in the US and disappeared from app stores as the deadline for the law approached, to the dismay of millions of users. Trump suspended its implementation for two-and-a-half months after beginning his second term on January 20, seeking a solution with Beijing. TikTok subsequently restored service in the US and returned to the Apple and Google app stores in February. Trump's reprieve to TikTok is set to expire on April 5.
