Stock markets were up and down this week. Some big tech companies made gains, but many investors stayed cautious.
2. Political Changes in Japan and France
Japan got a new leader of its ruling party. This person is likely to become the country’s next prime minister. The new leader wants to spend more money to support the economy instead of keeping strict financial controls.
In France, there was a surprise when the new government resigned only a few hours after being announced. This caused confusion and concern in the country’s politics.

There is some hope for peace talks between Israel and Hamas. Negotiations are being held to try to stop the fighting and release hostages. Many people around the world are watching these talks closely.
