    Russia, China find payments workaround as US sanctions net widens, sources say

    Russia-China trade options have narrowed since the U.S. imposed sanctions last week on the only Russian bank branch in China, but President Vladimir Putin's Chinese visit last month has helped ensure the two countries have payment alternatives for now, three sources said. Since Putin's visit, specially authorised banks have been set up in border regions which allow Russian firms to open non-resident accounts (NRA) with Chinese banks, a step that has become more important since VTB's Shanghai branch was targeted with sanctions, they told Reuters. Trade between Russia and China ballooned to a record $240 billion in 2023.

    Netflix House is right out of Disney's playbook: Analyst

    Netflix (NFLX) announced an upcoming physical attraction called the "Netflix House," where consumers can interact with their favorite movies and TV shows in real life through immersive experiences. Needham & Co. Senior Media & Internet Analyst Laura Martin joins Catalysts to give insight into Netflix's recent announcement and the platform's move into sports and live-event streaming. "They were demoing it at the [2024 Netflix] Upfront where you can go in and have all of their hit shows in real life. So it's their version of a theme park. So they're sort of copying in a low capital intensity way... the Disney (DIS) playbook," Martin tells Yahoo Finance. "More merch, more video games... They continue to do innovative things. I think the return on capital for some of these things is unknown and unproven, but they're really innovative."
