The U.S. market is also set for significant growth, with online sales projected to climb to <strong>$13.3 billion<\/strong>. These figures underscore the continued strength of e-commerce in the holiday shopping season.<\/p>\n<p>Early indicators from <strong>Salesforce<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>) show strong momentum, with global online sales hitting <strong>$17.3 billion<\/strong> by 12 PM EST on Cyber Monday. This represents a solid <strong>5.3% increase year-over-year<\/strong>, despite online orders remaining flat compared to the previous year. The data suggests consumers are spending more per transaction.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, Cyber Monday online sales reached <strong>$3.4 billion<\/strong> by midday, marking a <strong>2.6% year-over-year growth<\/strong>. However, U.S. online orders saw a slight decline of <strong>1%<\/strong>, indicating a similar trend of higher average order values offsetting a marginal dip in transaction volume. These early results align with the broader expectations for a strong, albeit perhaps more concentrated, spending spree.<\/p>\n<h2>EU Targets Trade Perks Over Migration Stance<\/h2>\n<p>In a separate significant development, the <strong>European Union<\/strong> has reportedly reached an agreement to withdraw trade perks from countries that refuse to repatriate failed migrants. This move, reported by <em>Politico<\/em>, signals a hardening stance from the EU on migration policy and could have considerable implications for international trade relations.<\/p>\n<p>The decision reflects the EU&#39;s ongoing efforts to manage migration flows and exert leverage over non-member states regarding readmission agreements. <em>The economic impact on affected nations could be substantial, potentially altering existing trade dynamics and supply chains.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Salesforce anticipates Cyber Monday global online
