New financial regulations, Disney's battle over returning to work, and Baidu's AI test also this week.

It will be a busy week ahead for investors with some Workday, Okta, Salesforce, and Zoom reported alongside computer companies and semiconductor manufacturers report earnings.

The stock market is coming off an awful week of trading with all three major indices sliding over the course of the week, the Nasdaq Composite had the worst returns, down 3.25% while the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 2.63% and 2.55% respectively.

FOX Business breaks down this week's top market events:

Monday, February 27

On Monday, the Federal Government’s ban of TikTok on government devices is set to take effect. The TikTok ban, which Congress passed last December, is supposed to be implemented by Feb. 27, but it's not yet clear how the federal government will do so.

The SEC’s new amendment intended to further curb insider trading will take effect as well. The SEC claims that these amendments will more forcefully deter improper insider trading.

The final new policy going into effect on Monday, is the FTC’s revision to the  thresholds of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The HSR Act pertains to mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other business transactions. It requires companies to report these actions and pay fees.  These fees are adjusted annually, based on changes in GDP and CPI.  These new revisions increase fees for these transactions by approximately 10.3%.
