Asian stocks gain after Wall Street opens 2025 with modest losses
SUMMARY: Asian markets experienced gains on Friday despite a weak close on U.S. stock indexes as Wall Street’s struggles continued into 2025. Japan remained closed for the New Year holiday, while the dollar steadied against the yen. Notably, Hong Kong stocks rebounded from prior declines, and the Kospi surged 1.9%. However, the Shanghai Composite index fell, following China’s decision to impose export controls on 28 U.S. entities. In the U.S., the S&P 500 extended its losing streak, influenced by disappointing Tesla vehicle deliveries. Analysts are now adjusting expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts amid persistent inflation concerns.

South Florida Weather Forecast 3/16/2025
SUMMARY: The South Florida weather forecast for March 16, 2025, highlights the aftermath of a severe weather system that caused widespread tornado damage in the Southeastern U.S. South Florida will experience minimal rain, with only a few showers expected. A drop in humidity and windy conditions will prompt a fire weather watch in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Although temperatures were warm in the 90s, a cold front will bring cooler weather with lows in the 50s. A shift to high pressure will result in comfortable conditions, with temperatures eventually climbing back into the 80s mid-week before another front arrives.

CBS News Miami’s Chief Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera says to expect a few showers overnight heading into Monday morning but nothing too severe.

Trump administration ramps up rhetoric targeting the courts amid mounting legal setbacks
SUMMARY: In Mexico, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador attacked the judiciary for blocking his reforms that mandated judges be elected rather than appointed, weakening investor confidence and the currency. This trend of populist leaders targeting the judiciary is observed globally, raising concerns about similar threats in the U.S. amid Donald Trump’s presidency. His supporters echo aggressive rhetoric against judges and suggest impeachment for unfavorable rulings. Despite this, the administration has followed legal norms. Legal experts warn that undermining judicial independence is a fundamental authoritarian impulse, potentially jeopardizing democratic governance and the rule of law in the U.S.
