The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday’s inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. “The data have given the Fed the ‘all clear’ for next week, and today’s inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year , with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street’s biggest stars for years, though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy. Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It’s a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share . Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster’s Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn’t do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it’s seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants’ merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy’s slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law.

No. 10 Marquette remains undefeated with convincing win over Western CarolinaNo local footy: Lauren travels eight hours in hunt for AFL draft dreamIs France’s Emmanuel Macron ... based? The French President made some comments that, well, let’s just say if President-elect Donald Trump said the same, the entire international media would call him a vicious white supremacist. Of course, the simple observational truth is nothing of the sort. Haiti is, in fact, a “shithole,” as Trump pointed out. And it seems Macron agrees. “It is the Haitians who killed Haiti by letting in drug trafficking,” Macron explained on a state trip in Brazil. (Watch Daily Caller documentary ‘Lawless’ here) “The Prime Minister was great. I defended him, and they fired him. It’s terrible. It’s terrible. I can’t replace him. They are completely dumb,” he continued. In his latest display of neocolonial arrogance, Macron blames Haitians for ‘killing Haiti,’ calling them ‘dumb.’ Are we ignoring centuries of French colonization and Western intervention that systematically undermined the nation’s development? pic.twitter.com/jd1OaJxUWD — RT (@RT_com) November 24, 2024 First off, the idea that Macron is broadly calling Haitian people “dumb” is as twisted as it is asinine. He’s saying that ousting the Prime Minister was a politically dumb move — obviously. And there’s no shortage of political stupidity in his own country either. Second, what he’s saying is obviously true. Leftists want to blame France for the sorry state of Haiti today. But France left Haiti to its own devices over two hundred years ago, and despite untold billions of humanitarian aid pouring in for decades, the country is little better — and probably much worse — than where it started. Over the same time period, China went from colonial hovel to the most technologically advanced dictatorship in the history of the world. Israel went from barren desert to nuclear power, and even the former slave territory of the Cayman Islands became an international banking paradise. What’s Haiti’s excuse?

Enphase Energy ( NASDAQ: ENPH ) finished +8.4% in Monday's trading, leading broad gains in most solar stocks, after two members of the U.S. House submitted a resolution to suspend the 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credit, and rewrite the legislation toMonday, December 9, 2024 A recent poll revealed that over 56% of Thais plan to travel during the upcoming New Year holidays, with more than 90% opting for domestic destinations. However, alongside festive travel plans, nearly 60% of respondents expressed a desire for cash handouts from the government as New Year gifts to stimulate the economy and tourism. The poll, titled “Thais and New Year’s Gifts from the Government,” surveyed 1,246 respondents nationwide from December 3-6, 2024 , exploring public preferences on holiday travel, spending habits, and expectations for government intervention. These findings highlight significant financial burdens facing Thai citizens, with respondents prioritizing practical solutions over traditional holiday gestures. The survey also explored public opinion on the government’s role during the New Year period: Respondents also outlined urgent issues for government intervention ahead of the New Year, including: Pornpan Buathong , president of Suan Dusit Poll, noted that the survey results reflect deeper structural challenges within the economy, particularly the high cost of living and low economic stability. “The government should leverage the New Year season to implement long-term economic policies. Temporary measures like cash handouts must evolve into sustainable solutions to ensure economic stability and improve citizens’ quality of life,” Pornpan said. Similarly, Asst Prof Anchalee Rattana , a political science lecturer at Suan Dusit University, stressed that New Year policies should address structural issues, enabling citizens to “live with dignity, have adequate resources, and maintain self-respect.” The poll results underline the need for government action that extends beyond seasonal gestures. While measures such as cash handouts and cost-of-living reductions are popular, they also represent an opportunity for the government to establish a sustainable economic direction, ensuring a better quality of life for all Thai citizens throughout the year.Toyota Australia and Saatchi & Saatchi have unveiled the next chapter of the This LandCruiser Drives Us Home campaign, celebrating the new LandCruiser Prado.
