Microsoft to lay off up to 9,000 employees
The company, which had about 228,000 employees worldwide as of June 2024, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The tech giant was planning to cut thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, according to a Bloomberg News report in June. Microsoft had also announced layoffs in May, which affected around 6,000 employees.
Corporate America has kicked off a series of job cuts across sectors as companies attempt to streamline operations amid economic uncertainties, following similar cutbacks seen last year.

New Emirates rule: Power banks can catch fire, cause explosions, say UAE experts
Power banks can pose serious safety risks on flights, including the potential to emit toxic smoke, ignite flames, or even trigger major explosions, safety experts have warned. Earlier on Friday, Emirates Airlines announced a ban on the use of power banks during all its flights, effective from October 1. 'Power banks indeed pose a significant fire hazard because they contain lithium-ion batteries, which have a high energy density,' said Dana Kamal, Director, International Business Development, MENA at NFPA. 'When exposed to physical or thermal stress, they can overheat, catch fire or even explode. In the confined and controlled environment of an aircraft, where factors such as cabin pressure, temperature fluctuations, and limited oxygen can impact battery performance, these devices can pose a significant fire safety risk.' According to David C., General Manager at Emirates Safety Laboratory, power banks contain lithium-ion batteries, which could cause the device to overheat when used. In a statement, Emirates said that customers will be permitted to carry one power bank onboard with specific conditions, but they may not be used while in the aircraft cabin—neither to charge devices nor to be charged themselves using the aircraft's power source. For several months now, airlines across the world have been updating their rules regarding lithium batteries, after an increase in the incidence of accidents. A Reuters report revealed that in 2024, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recorded an average of three incidents every two weeks involving overheating lithium batteries on planes worldwide — a sharp rise compared to just under one incident per week in 2018. Dangers Pilot and aviation expert Hans-Georg Rabacher explained that a power bank can overheat due to direct sunlight, poor ventilation, overcharging, or physical damage, and this can lead to a dangerous reaction called thermal runaway. 'This usually starts in one battery cell, which overheats and triggers a chain reaction. The result can be an explosion, toxic gas release, and open flames with temperatures over 1,000°C,' he said. Dana said that this was one of the 'key reasons' why airlines banned power banks from checked-in luggage. 'If a power bank begins to overheat, passengers or crew in the cabin can quickly notice signs such as smoke, heat, or unusual odours coming from the device, and can immediately notify the crew,' he said. 'Early detection allows rapid intervention from the cabin crew members, who are usually well-trained and equipped to handle such incidents, thereby minimising risks and limiting potential damage.' Low-quality items David added that some issues stem from low-quality power banks manufactured in various countries worldwide. 'Here in the UAE, we have excellent safety standards,' he said. 'However, some very low-quality power banks are manufactured in different geographies, and these could pose a significant danger during flights.' He states that these devices may look the same on the outside, but often lack the rigorous safety testing to ensure internal mechanisms prevent overheating or fire. 'This is why people need to invest in good quality power banks with international certifications, which will be indicated on their labels,' he said. David said that it was important for power bank users to ensure they are correctly stored when taking them on a plane. 'When they are stuffed in the overhead cabin or put in the seat pocket whilst charging devices, they could more likely overheat due to the lack of ventilation trapping the heat,' he said. Earlier this year, Air Busan became one of the first airlines to restrict power banks in overhead cabin bins after one of its planes caught fire; an incident thought to be caused by a power bank overheating. Experts added that physical damage, like banging a power bank, could cause the device to malfunction and overheat. 'I always stress the importance of a thorough visual inspection,' said Dana. 'Check for any visible damage, such as scratches or other signs of wear. Be alert for subtle warning signs such as unusual odours or chemical smells, as well as excessive heat. While it's normal for electronics to generate some heat during use, if a power bank feels unusually hot, it's a warning you should not ignore.' David said that technology is progressing quickly, allowing manufacturers to make a power bank without lithium ion batteries. Some are not producing power banks with nickel-metal hydride, alkaline batteries, and even capacitors.

Copper edges higher on US rate cut hopes and Chinese demand
Copper prices crept higher for a third consecutive session on Friday, bolstered by hopes of U.S. interest rate cuts after a central bank appointment and upbeat economic data in China. Benchmark three-month LME copper on the London Metal Exchange rose 0.2% to $9,700 a metric ton in official open-outcry trading, extending a rebound after touching its lowest in three weeks on July 31. U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday announced his pick to fill a vacant seat at the Federal Reserve, boosting hopes of interest rate cuts and weakening the dollar. A softer dollar makes commodities priced in the U.S. currency less expensive for buyers using other currencies. "The weaker dollar has been a key driver in August," said Dan Smith at Commodity Market Analytics. "You've got dollar weakness and China looking like it's in good shape. So the fundamental side feels like it's quite positive for the time being." Data released on Thursday showed China's exports beat forecasts in July as manufacturers made the most of a fragile tariff truce between Beijing and Washington to ship goods. The most traded copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 0.1% to 78,490 yuan ($10,929) a ton. Smith said LME copper was looking potentially bullish in his algorithmic computer models, which seek to replicate fund activity that places buy and sell orders largely on momentum signals. "I think there's a chance that next week it will flip back into giving a buy-signal on copper, with an upside potentially up towards $10,000," he said. U.S. Comex copper futures added 0.7% to $4.43 a lb by 1215 GMT, bringing the premium of Comex over LME copper to $62 a ton. On the supply side, investors were watching developments in top copper producer Chile, where Codelco has sought permission to reopen a part of its flagship mine after a fatal accident last week. Other metals were mixed. LME aluminium was flat at official activity to $2,610 a ton and zinc was little changed at $2,812.50 while tin added 0.2% to $33,800, nickel eased 0.3% to $15,075 and lead was down 0.6% at $1,998.

Gold futures climb to fresh record after report of US tariff move
U.S. gold futures surged to a record on Friday after a report that Washington has imposed tariffs on imports of 1-kg bullion bars, widening the spread between New York futures and spot prices. December U.S. gold futures were up 0.7% to $3,476.70, after hitting a record $3,534.10. Spot gold was down 0.3% at $3,386.63 per ounce as of 1151 GMT. Bullion is on track for a second straight weekly gain, up 0.7% so far this week. The futures-spot spread widened to more than $100 after the Financial Times reported that the United States had imposed tariffs on imports of 1-kg gold bars, citing a July 31 Customs and Border Protection letter. The letter said 1-kg and 100-ounce gold bars should be classified under a customs code subject to higher duties. "Given the volatility of U.S. trade-related decision-making, it is difficult to make longer-term predictions, but assuming a scenario in which tariffs remain in place ... one would expect spot prices to be affected and to rise, narrowing the spread relative to the futures," said Ricardo Evangelista, senior analyst at ActivTrades. Switzerland is the world's largest gold refining hub and the major exporter to the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump's higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries kicked in on Thursday, leaving major trade partners such as Switzerland, Brazil and India hurriedly searching for a better deal. "All developments ... for now solidify the London spot price as the most reliable source telling us what the real value of gold is," said Saxo Bank's head of commodity strategy, Ole Hansen. "Spot prices remain stuck in a range since April, with a break above $3,450 needed to change that." Gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, is also drawing support from expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month. Weaker U.S. payroll data last week pushed CME Group's FedWatch Tool to price in an 89% chance of a 25-basis-point cut in September. Elsewhere, spot silver was steady $38.31 per ounce, platinum fell 0.5% at $1,326.91 and palladium was down 2.3% at $1,124.93.
