Barack Obama’s mockery of Donald Trump’s “weird obsession” with crowd sizes is the star of a new Harris-Walz campaign ad aiming to rattle Trump ahead of the presidential debate Tuesday.The ad, which is set to air on Fox News, features the notorious moment from Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention last month in which he made a highly suggestive gesture with his hands while ridiculing Trump’s pathological preoccupation with the amount of people who attend his public events.

At least 40 people were killed, and 60 injured, in an Israeli attack on the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, Gaza, local media reported, citing Palestinian Civil Defense.A civil defense spokesman told Quds Press, “Estimations indicate that we are facing one of the most horrific massacres,” with “entire families” disappearing.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck “several terrorists who were operating within a command and control center embedded inside the Humanitarian Area.” It said three men killed were “directly involved” in the October 7 attack on Israel. According to the IDF, they were targeted “in a precise, intelligence-based strike.”The IDF contested the reported death toll, saying, “According to an initial review, the numbers published by the Hamas-run Government Information Office in Gaza, which has consistently broadcasted lies and false information throughout the war, do not align with the information held by the IDF, the precise munitions used, and the accuracy of the strike.”Hamas condemned the attack and said claims of the presence of “resistance fighters” were a lie," local media reported.The IDF said “the Hamas terrorist organization continues to embed its operatives and military infrastructure in the Humanitarian Area.” Credit: Abdallah Alattar via Storyful
Wall Street is showing negative sentiment towards the Chinese economy with many firms trimming their market outlooks on the nation. Macrolens Chief Strategist and Managing Principal Brian McCarthy joins Catalysts to discuss his outlook on the Chinese market. McCarthy expresses a bearish outlook on the Chinese economy's growth prospects, citing the country's housing market troubles as a key factor. He notes, "Since it became obvious that their housing bubble had busted and was not going to be re-inflatable," the Chinese economy has been grappling with significant challenges. According to McCarthy, this situation has created a debt deflation problem for China, a predicament he believes they cannot escape without an aggressive easing of monetary policy." Ultimately he says. "China is stuck." "In China's case, they are reluctant to lower rates further," McCarthy told Yahoo Finance. "Rates are just below 2%, and they can't really push them to zero." Regarding the Federal Reserve's approach to rate cuts, McCarthy warns that if the Fed is "behind the curve" in easing monetary policy, it could have consequences for China. He notes that such a scenario would put pressure on the Chinese yuan (RMB), potentially "greatly exacerbating China's problems." "It's really not a great place for foreign multinationals to be doing business. And that's before we event get into the wide array of political and geopolitical risks that surround being exposed to China," as he explains to Yahoo Finance.
