Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline With the stock market falling for the last six weeks in a row amid growing concerns about an economic slowdown and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to combat inflation, an increasing number of Wall Street experts are warning of now “uncomfortably high” recession risks, with rising odds of a downturn within the next two years. Key Facts Markets moved lower again on Monday, struggling to rebound from a brutal selloff in recent months that has caused tech stocks to nose-dive and pushed the S&P 500 to the edge of bear market territory. Goldman Sachs became the latest major firm to slash its market outlook on Monday, citing higher interest rates and “slower economic growth than we previously assumed,” though stocks could still bounce back later in the year.

Twitch vs. Mixer: The new streaming war
New York (CNN Business) Mac vs. PC. Android vs. iPhone. Twitch vs. Mixer? Tech rivalries are decades old, but the newest battle in the industry is over how people watch and broadcast video games. Twitch has substantially grown its video game streaming business since its launch in 2011, and Amazon ( AMZN ) purchased the service for $1 billion in 2014. But rival Microsoft ( MSFT ) is ramping up its video game streaming efforts and may give Twitch a run for its money soon. In late July, Twitch received some bad news: It lost Fortnite star Ninja to Microsoft's Mixer. After making millions of dollars from advertising and donations on Twitch, propelling himself and the platform into stardom, Ninja said he would stream exclusively on Mixer.

Some people speculated he had been paid handsomely to … [Read more...] about Twitch vs. Mixer: The new streaming war
