20:10 EST Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. President Donald Trump will issue a broad trade memo on Monday that stops short of imposing new tariffs on his first day in office but directs federal agencies to evaluate U.S. trade relationships with China, Canada and Mexico, a Trump administration official said, Reuters' David Lawder, Andrea Shalal, Steve Holland and David Ljunggren report. After weeks of intense speculation over which duties Trump would impose immediately, news that he would take more time on tariffs drove a relief rally in global stocks and a dive in the dollar against major currencies, the authors note.

Publicly traded rare earths companies include MP Materials (MP), Energy Fuels (UUU), and NioCorp (NB). 2. Donald Trump's newly created cryptocurrency soared on Monday to nearly $11B in market value, drawing in billions in trading volume, while bitcoin hit a record high just hours ahead of the U.S. President-elect's return to the White House, Reuters' Rae Wee and Elizabeth Howcroft report. Launched on Friday, Trump's meme coin, also known as $TRUMP, stood at $52.71 by 12.30 GMT on Monday, giving it a market capitalization of about $10.7B, according to CoinMarketCap, which ranked it as the 18th biggest cryptocurrency, the authors note. 3. TikTok told its users in the U.S. on Saturday evening, "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! In the meantime, you can still log in to download your data." On Sunday, just 12 hours later, the service was restored with a message saying, "Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.," the platform said in a message to users. Companies in the social media space that compete with TikTok include Meta (META), Alphabet's YouTube (GOOGL), Pinterest (PINS), Reddit (RDDT) and Snap (SNAP). 4. President-elect Donald Trump said via Truth Social: "I'm asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law's prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order. Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations. I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up. Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions. Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose." 5. Perplexity AI submitted a bid for TikTok parent company ByteDance to create a new merged entity combining Perplexity, TikTok U.S., and new capital partners, Hayden Field of CNBC reports, citing a source familiar with the situation. The new structure would allow most of ByteDance's existing investors to retain their equity stakes in the company and would bring more video to Perplexity, the source added. ByteDance has publicly implied it will not sell TikTok U.S., which is partly why Perplexity AI believes it has a shot with its bid since the proposal is a merger rather than a sale, CNBC's source added.
