Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Quick Glance: Effect of Lifting Restrictions on Hong Kong Home Prices
- In March, Hong Kong saw an increase in home prices for the first time in almost a year following the lifting of property restrictions, leading to a revival in sales.
- The price index for private domestic homes rose by 1.06% from the previous month of February, breaking a 10-month declining trend.
- However, analysts express doubts about the sustainability of this growth as developers work to reduce excess inventory amid high borrowing costs impacting demand.
- The anticipation of prolonged higher interest rates is expected to exert further pressure on the market, potentially causing home prices to decline by an additional 5% to 10% this year if the Federal Reserve's rate adjustments fall short of expectations.

Quick Glance: Hong Kong Real Estate Market: Price Recovery in March
- In March, Hong Kong's real estate market saw a price recovery after the financial city lifted restrictions to boost the ailing market.
- Prices dropped by 1.8% in the first quarter, following a 20% decline from their 2021 peak due to higher mortgage rates and a weak market outlook.
- Nevertheless, prices are expected to remain subdued as property developers rushed to introduce new sales with discounts of up to 30%, attracting buying interest from the secondary market.
- A recent report by real estate agency Ricacorp revealed that 30% of transactions for second-hand homes were sold at a loss in the first quarter, with this trend likely continuing into the second quarter.
