Meta To Cut 10,000 Jobs in Second Round of Layoffs

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, announced on Tuesday that it would eliminate 10,000 jobs this year, becoming the first Big Tech company to do so as the sector braces for a severe economic downturn.

The news caused the price of Meta to increase by 6%. The much-awaited job cuts are part of a reorganization that will also see the company kill off lower priority projects, "flatten" middle management layers and abandon hiring plans for 5,000 openings.

CURRENCIES

The US dollar remained at a nearly one-month low on Wednesday as consumer inflation eased as anticipated, while most Asian currencies traded in a flat-to-low range as data indicated a somewhat uneven recovery in the Chinese economy.

Gold futures fell by 0.32% to $1,904 per ounce.

Moderna president Stephen Hoge said in an interview on Monday that the company expects to price its COVID-19 vaccine in the United States at around $130 per dose in the future as government purchases shift to the private sector.

Hoge stated this in advance of a Congressional hearing on Moderna's pricing strategies chaired by Democratic U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. "There are different customers negotiating different prices right now, which is why it's a little bit complicated," he added.
