WeWork has filed for bankruptcy protection, a humbling fall for the co-working start-up co-founded by Adam Neumann and backed by billions of dollars from Japan\u2019s SoftBank. <\/p>\n

The company that set out to revolutionise office real estate could not outrun the combined forces of pricey leases it had signed before the Covid-19 pandemic and weak occupancy rates as hybrid working gained popularity. <\/p>\n

WeWork said it had struck an agreement with nearly all its creditors to convert $3bn of existing loans and bonds into equity of the reorganised company. The Chapter 11 process also allows WeWork to terminate leases early with little financial penalty. It is seeking to restructure its more than $13bn in lease obligations.<\/p>\n

Asian equities dip over concerns about Fed\u2019s monetary policies<\/h2>\n

William Langley in Hong Kong<\/p>\n

\n

Asian equities declined on Tuesday as confidence that the US Federal Reserve would pause its monetary tightening campaign petered out and traders looked ahead to Chinese export-import figures.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng index fell 0.8 per cent, China\u2019s 300 shed 0.2 per cent and Japan\u2019s Topix fell 0.5 per cent. South Korea\u2019s Kospi fell 2 per cent, having gained on Monday after the financial regulator temporarily banned short selling.<\/p>\n

Asian markets rose on Monday after weaker than expected US jobs data firmed speculation that the US was done with lifting rates this year. But those expectations softened during US trading ahead of a series of speeches from Fed officials this week.<\/p>\n

China releases its October trade figures later on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Peru foreign minister steps down over failure to achieve Biden meeting<\/h2>\n

\n

Peru\u2019s foreign minister has resigned after failing to secure a meeting between President Dina Boluarte and US counterpart Joe Biden during a visit to Washington.<\/p>\n

Ana Cecilia Gervasi led the ministry for less than a year, and was one of her president\u2019s most vocal defenders after the deaths of dozens of protesters in anti-government demonstrations at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

Congress has summoned Gervasi to explain why Boluarte\u2019s recent trip did not include a bilateral meeting with Biden. Lima\u2019s ambassador to the US, Gustavo Meza Cuadra, also stepped down on Monday.<\/p>\n

Political turnover has been a feature of Peruvian politics with six presidents in the past five years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ecuador\u2019s president-elect taps little-known economist as finance minister<\/h2>\n

Joe Daniels in Bogot\u00e1<\/p>\n

\n

Ecuador\u2019s centre-right president-elect Daniel Noboa has tapped Sariha Moya, a relatively unknown economist, to be his finance minister when he takes office next month.<\/p>\n

Both are 35 years old, suggesting the millennial business heir will continue to focus on boosting youth prospects as he promised during the campaign.<\/p>\n

Moya, who has spent most of her career in public office, previously worked at the country\u2019s planning and development secretariat and at the finance ministry. She joined Noboa in a meeting with the IMF in Washington over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Noboa takes office next month after narrowly winning a snap election in October, though his term will probably be dominated by a campaign for re-election in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Shares of Dish Network notched a record one-day drop after the cable television company missed Wall Street expectations, even as it races to complete a $4bn merger with satellite network group EchoStar.<\/p>\n

Dish swung to a surprise loss of 26 cents a share, falling short of analysts\u2019 forecasts for earnings of 5 cents a share, according to a LSEG poll, while revenues of $3.7bn narrowly missed expectations.<\/p>\n

The pay-TV company is one of several in its sector that has struggled to hold on to subscribers as streaming options proliferated in the past decade. <\/p>\n

Dish shares plunged to 37.4 per cent on Monday to close at a 25-year low, and leaving them down by three-quarters in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wall Street extends winning streak thanks to late rally in tech stocks<\/h2>\n

Jaren Kerr in New York<\/p>\n

\n

US stock indices notched some of their longest winning streaks this year as a late rally for tech stocks helped Wall Street\u2019s main indices swing into positive territory on Monday and extend their multi-day runs.<\/p>\n

The benchmark S&P 500 closed 0.2 per cent higher, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 0.3 per cent. Tech stocks rallied in the afternoon, with all of the Magnificent Seven stocks except Tesla making gains.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 has now closed higher for six consecutive sessions, its longest winning streak since mid-June, while a seven-day run for the Nasdaq is its longest since early January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

OpenAI is launching custom versions of ChatGPT that can be adapted and tailored for specific applications, turning the chatbot interface into a digital platform such as iOS or Android.<\/p>\n

Known as GPTs, the tools can be built using plain English for cases such as tutoring a child in maths, creating a travel concierge or designing a website. The Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company led by Sam Altman, chief executive, said it planned to launch a GPT Store in the coming weeks, to collate the best apps, and eventually split revenues with the most popular GPT creators.<\/p>\n
