_[U.S. President Donald Trump hosts a Greek Independence Day celebration at the East room of the White House in Washington, U.S. March 24, 2017. REUTERS/Carlos Barria]WELCOME TO FINANCE INSIDER, BUSINESS INSIDER'S SUMMARY OF THE TOP STORIES OF THE PAST 24 HOURS._ Around midday on March 23, the news that a once vaunted hedge fund would close started rippling through New York's hedge fund community. Eton Park Capital Management, a $7 billion hedge fund run by former Goldman Sachs wunderkind Eric Mindich, announced it would shutter. In several ways, Eton Park's rise and closure symbolize a broader journey for the hedge fund industry. With some of the biggest hedge funds around closing, Business Insider took a look at what it takes to launch one today. Elsewhere in finance news, an increasing number of Americans have stopped paying their car loans, and Wall Street is starting to worry. And Goldman Sachs just named a new head of technology in EMEA. President Trump is making huge changes to his economic plans after the "Trumpcare" defeat. The Dow Jones industrial average closed in negative territory for the eighth day in a row on Monday, the first such losing streak since the European debt crisis was at its peak. The Trump rally's "great unwind" might just be getting started, according to David Rosenberg at Gluskin Sheff. And here's where America wants Trump to focus his efforts, according to Legg Mason. In more positive news, a gauge of US home prices rose to a 31-month high in January. And US consumer confidence exploded to the highest level since 2000. Elsewhere, GM is jumping as it faces off with David Einhorn over a plan to split its stock in to two classes. American Airlines is buying a $200 million chunk of China's largest airline. And the former CEO of Valeant is suing the embattled drug company for not paying him more than 3 million shares. In deal news, tech startup Yext priced its IPO at $8 to $10 a share. Chinese tech giant Tencent has taken a 5% stake in Tesla. And a Chinese conglomerate is in talks to buy a controlling stake in Forbes. In media news, Wall Street Journal staffers signed a letter criticizing the control white men have over the newsroom. Lastly, you could soon own a 104-metre-long private mega-yacht complete with a helipad, glass elevator, cinema, and beach club — but it'll cost you £160 million ($200 million). _HERE ARE THE TOP WALL STREET HEADLINES FROM THE PAST 24 HOURS._ YUM CEO: MACHINES COULD "RUN THE WORLD" BY THE MID TO LATE 2020S - Greg Creed, the CEO of Yum Brands, the owner of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, spoke about how he sees technological innovation developing over the next decade or two, and how his industry has already seen changes.

A TOP GOLDMAN SACHS DEALMAKER SAYS SHE LEARNED A MAJOR CAREER LESSON EATING IN A CAFETERIA IN MILAN - It's no secret that women are often treated differently in the workplace. And that is especially the case in more male-dominated fields such as financial services. EMIRATES PRESIDENT: WE DON'T KNOW IF THE US LAPTOP BAN WILL HURT BUSINESS — BUT HERE'S HOW THINGS WENT THIS WEEKEND - Emirates Airline won't be able to gauge the financial effects of the US government's ban on laptops on flights from the Middle East until May, but the rollout of the policy last weekend was relatively smooth, its president, Sir Tim Clark, said in an interview with Business Insider. JOHNSON & JOHNSON JUST LAUNCHED A $100,000 BURNOUT PREVENTION BOOTCAMP FOR CEOS - If you're going by the Harvard Business Review, executive burnout has been a problem for nearly 40 years. THE FDA JUST APPROVED A NEW DRUG TO TREAT ECZEMA THAT COSTS $37,000 A YEAR - The FDA on Tuesday approved Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi's Dupixent for treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, a product widely seen as the most important future growth driver for the two companies. THIEVES BROKE INTO A GERMAN MUSEUM AND STOLE A MASSIVE $4.5 MILLION GOLD COIN - Thieves broke into the German capital's Bode Museum before dawn Monday and made off with a massive 100-kilogram (221-pound) gold coin worth millions of dollars, police said. 22 CLOTHING ITEMS EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN BEFORE HE TURNS 30 - When a man turns 30, he turns around and looks back at his life.

[Blade Runner 2049]Warner Bros. This year apparently hasn't learned a lesson from 2016. Despite relatively low box-office turnout for reboots and sequels in 2016 including "Independence Day: Resurgence," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2," and "Bad Santa 2," there's a reboot or a sequel coming to theaters pretty much every weekend for the rest of 2017. (Granted, many have been long in development.) Some are more appealing than others, with highly anticipated movies like "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," "Bladerunner 2049," and "Thor: Rangorak" in the mix. Some are getting more puzzled reactions from people online. HERE ARE ALL THE MOVIE REBOOTS AND SEQUELS YOU CAN SEE (OR AVOID) IN 2017: “UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS” — ALREADY RELEASED Sony Pictures “XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE” — ALREADY RELEASED Paramount “RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER” — ALREADY RELEASED Sony Pictures SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER

Austria will seek an exemption from having to accept more asylum-seekers under an EU relocation system, it said on Tuesday, arguing that it has already taken in its fair share during Europe’s migration crisis. The move is a new blow to the system that would cover only a fraction of migrant arrivals to the European Union and that has barely been implemented because of opposition led by Eastern European countries including Poland and Hungary. It also coincides with a tightening of security and immigration rules by the centrist coalition government in Austria, where a wave of arrivals that began in 2015 helped fuel a rise in support for the far-right Freedom Party, which still leads in opinion polls. “We believe an exception is necessary for Austria for having already fulfilled its obligation. We will discuss that with the European Commission,” Chancellor Christian Kern told reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting. “We will send a letter as quickly as possible and then begin discussions.” Fewer than 14,500 asylum-seekers have been relocated from Greece and Italy, the first EU countries that many refugees and migrants from the Middle East and Africa set foot in, under the two-year EU plan that was supposed to cover 160,000 people and which expires in September. “We are of the opinion ... that the people in question here already sought an asylum application or arrived in Italy or Greece,” Kern said. “We must check whether we have already fulfilled our quota and discharged our obligation.” Austria took in roughly 90,000 asylum seekers in 2015, more than 1 percent of its population. More than a million migrants arrived in Germany that year, most of them having passed through Austria after crossing the Balkans from Greece. Austria has repeatedly called on other EU countries to take their fair share, and has even backed the idea of financial penalties for those that do not. The Commission granted Austria a temporary exception because of the large number of people it had taken in, but that has since expired. “Austria is now expected to fulfill its legal obligation ... to start relocating,” Commission spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud said. The government has been seeking to erode support for the Freedom Party with a series of law-and-order measures and stricter immigration rules. An “integration bill” agreed in cabinet on Tuesday would ban face-veils in public places and oblige unemployed refugees to perform jobs “of public utility” for no pay beyond their normal benefit payments. _(Reporting by Francois Murphy; additional reporting by Waverly Colville in Brussels; Editing by Catherine Evans and Robin Pomeroy)_ -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
