Chile's central bank said in a report on Tuesday that the economy is broadly recovering, though some sectors have lagged and financial market depth has not yet returned to levels seen before the coronavirus pandemic.

TREASURIES-Yields droop on hopes for Fed ease as big Treasury auctions loom
Treasury yields slipped on Tuesday, with traders focused on absorbing $125 billion in new supply this week, while a parade of Federal Reserve officials is queued up to speak on prospects for a 2024 policy pivot. The question now is, are yields enticing enough for a solid reception for the Treasury's auction of $58 billion in 3-year notes later in the day, followed by $42 billion in 10-years on Wednesday and $25 billion of 30-year bonds on Thursday? The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell 4.6 basis points from late Monday to 4.4427%.

Tesla 'Full Self-Driving' may be an important differentiator in China: Analyst
Shares Tesla (TSLA) are moving lower on Tuesday morning as the company's sales in China fell 18% year-over-year for the month of April, according to the China Passenger Car Association. The company has already been hit with falling sales in China as competition increases, causing the automaker to lower prices on select models. Morningstar Equities Strategist Seth Goldstein joins The Morning Brief to give insight into Tesla's current operations and how the company can move forward. Goldstein discusses the nature of electric vehicle competition in China: "So I think for Tesla within China, they're not in the affordable vehicle market. So yes, there are a lot of longer range, cheaper EVs out there and for consumers who only care about price, Tesla is likely not going to be the go-to choice in China right now. But Tesla can still compete in the high end luxury market on a technology standpoint with FSD.

Adult film star Stormy Daniels has built a lucrative business empire around her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Donald Trump and earned legions of fans for her breezy retorts to those who cast her as an immoral woman. The alleged encounter is now at the center of the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, with Daniels, 45, taking the stand for the prosecution on Tuesday.
