Small businesses brace for possible TikTok ban impact
The looming TikTok ban threatens millions of small businesses that rely on the platform to grow. Crown's Corner Mechanic owner Desiree Hill built a 9,000 square foot shop after gaining customers from TikTok. If banned, firms may shift to Instagram Reels YouTube Shorts and email databases, but reach to teens could drop and growth may stall. Crystal Lister of Mommy and Me The Listers in Cypress Texas skirts toward YouTube and Instagram Reels as pivots, noting TikTok's ease of use and reach.

The S P 500 fell 0.4 percent on the final trading day of 2024 while earning a 23.3 percent annual gain, the Nasdaq rose 28.6 percent and the Dow slipped 0.1 percent. Big Tech led the rally as inflation cooled and earnings grew, with Nvidia and other AI names lifting markets.

Bitcoin topped 100000 dollars, gold gained over 26 percent, and the year closed with a rare broad up year for U S equities.
