Beijing has signaled TikTok should fight what it has called a “robbers” act by U.S. lawmakers “to snatch from others all the good things that they have.” Should a legal challenge fail, observers say Chinese authorities are unlikely to allow a sale, a move that could be seen as surrendering to Washington.

To shed light on the dynamics shaping the housing market, Redfin (RDFN) CEO Glenn Kelman joins Wealth! Kelman acknowledges that while mortgage rates have deterred some homebuyers, those who remain in the market are "more serious."
