By Noel Randewich, Lewis Krauskopf and Devik Jain Oct 7 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply higher on Thursday in a broad-based rally led by heavyweight technology shares, as a truce in the debt-ceiling standoff in the U.S. Congress relieved concerns of a possible government debt default this month. Mega-cap stocks, including Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc and Microsoft Corp, jumped and were the biggest boosts to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. The U.S. Senate took a step toward passing a $480 billion increase in Treasury Department borrowing authority, which would put off another partisan showdown until December. Uncertainty over the debt-ceiling negotiations was one concern investors cited in September as the S&P 500 logged its biggest monthly percentage drop since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. "Today's (market) is driven by a slight move in Washington towards rationality about being able to pay their bills, write some checks," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, data showed the number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits dropped last week by the most in three months, suggesting the labor market recovery was regaining momentum as the latest wave of COVID-19 infections began to subside. The closely watched monthly U.S. jobs report is due on Friday. "Today´s numbers reinforce the expectation that employment will take a significant step up in the coming months, and I think that´s positive for the economy," said Brad Neuman, director of market strategy at Alger. "The market climbed its wall of worry today as fears of a debt-ceiling impasse receded and hopes for an acceleration in employment gains were reinforced." Unofficially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1% to end at 34,760.34 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.83% to 4,399.82. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.04% to 14,653.38. The S&P 500 materials and consumer discretionary indexes were among the strongest performers of 11 sectors. U.S.-traded Chinese stocks including Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings surged as concerns around U.S.-Sino trade relations and Evergrande's debt crisis appeared to ease. Investors will soon turn their attention to third-quarter earnings reports that start to arrive in earnest next week. Analysts on average estimate S&P 500 companies' earnings per share rose 29% in the third quarter, according to Refinitiv. Levi Strauss & Co shares jumped after the jeans maker beat third-quarter revenue and ketahuan ngentot profit estimates.

Apple To Slow Hiring Spending For Some Teams Next Year - Bloomberg...

2022-12-11T03:36:58Z

Ngentot18z:

July 18 (Reuters) - Apple Inc plans to slow hiring and spending growth next year in some units to cope with a potential economic downturn, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The potential move would see Apple - the world's most valuable company - join a growing pool of American corporations including Meta Platforms and Tesla Inc in slowing hiring. Apple shares reversed course to trade down 1.6% at $147.6. The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The Bloomberg report said the changes would not affect all teams and that Apple was still planning an aggressive product launch schedule in 2023 that includes a mixed-reality headset, its first major new category since 2015. "Apple's move reflects a broader slowdown in investing in new things, new companies and new products," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. "It signifies that inflation is an issue for these companies." Fears have risen in recent months that aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to tame an unabating surge in inflation could tip the economy into a recession. The price pressures have also raised worries that customers could curb spending on discretionary items like smartphones. Smartphone shipments declined 9% in the second quarter, according to data from Canalys. Still, Apple's iPhones remain among the most sold phones in the world, pussy with the company holding a 17% market share just behind market leader Samsung, the data showed. Apple typically launches a new version of its iPhone and other wearable products in September ahead of the busy holiday season. As of its last annual report, the Cupertino, California-based company had about 154,000 full-time equivalent employees.

2022-12-11T03:14:57Z

Ngentot18z:

By Medha Singh and Shivani Kumaresan Oct 30 (Reuters) - Wall Street's major indexes tumbled on Friday, dragged down by a slide in shares of tech heavyweights following their quarterly results, with a record rise in coronavirus cases and nerves over the presidential election adding to a downbeat mood. The three main indexes were on course for ngentot di kapal their worst week since March as spiraling coronavirus cases in the United States push hospitals to the brink of capacity. The CBOE volatility index held at a 20-week high ahead of the final weekend before Election Day on Tuesday. Apple Inc tumbled about 5.2% after it posted the steepest drop in quarterly iPhone sales in two years due to the late launch of new 5G phones. Amazon.com Inc fell 4.1% after it forecast a jump in costs related to COVID-19, while Facebook Inc shed 6.2% as it warned of a tougher 2021. Tech and consumer discretionary sectors posted the steepest percentage declines. Communication services got a boost from a 3.9% jump in shares of Alphabet Inc after the Google parent beat estimates for quarterly sales as businesses resumed advertising. "There is a big selloff in those big tech names because they didn't live up to the hype and people are really worried about next week's election," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. President Donald Trump has consistently trailed Democratic challenger Biden in national polls for months, but polls in the most competitive states have shown a closer race. At 10:52 a.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 423.74 points, or 1.58%, to 26,237.80, the S&P 500 lost 59.85 points, or 1.81%, to 3,250.76 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 297.66 points, or 2.65%, to 10,888.81. The third-quarter earnings season is past its halfway mark, with about 84.8% of S&P 500 companies topping earnings estimates, according to Refinitiv data. Overall, profit is expected to fall 13.4% from a year earlier. Twitter Inc slumped about 20% after the micro-blogging site reported fewer users than expected and warned the U.S. election could impact ad revenue. AbbVie Inc gained 5% after the drugmaker posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings and raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast. Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 3.9-to-1 ratio, while on Nasdaq, a 0.3-to-1 ratio favored advancers. The S&P 500 posted two new 52-week highs and one new low, whereas the Nasdaq Composite recorded 12 new highs and 63 new lows.

US STOCKS-Wall St Jumps On Bets Of Biden Victory Stimulus Hopes

2022-12-11T01:43:13Z

Ngentot18z:

By Medha Singh Nov 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks jumped on Tuesday as investors bet that one of the country's most divisive presidential races would end with a clear victory for bokep hijab Democratic nominee Joe Biden and a swift deal on more fiscal stimulus. All 11 major S&P indexes were up in early trading, led by financial, healthcare and industrial stocks. The consistent lead for Biden in national opinion polls has raised hopes of a decisive outcome in Tuesday's election as well as a bigger stimulus package post-election, analysts and portfolio managers said, even as both campaigns are preparing for post-election disputes. "Markets are expecting not only a clear Biden victory but also a policy reaction that is quite reflationary and one that will come with more fiscal spending," said Chris Bailey, Raymond James strategist in London. Democrats are also favored to emerge from 14 hotly contested U.S. Senate races with full control of Congress in Tuesday's election, although final results from at least five of those contests may not be available for days, and in some cases, months. Still, the competition in swing states is seen as close enough that President Donald Trump could piece together the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to stay in the White House for another four years. Despite a coronavirus-driven crash earlier this year, the S&P 500 has risen about 55% since Trump clinched an upset victory in 2016 as lower tax rates under his administration boosted corporate profits. The CBOE volatility index, known as investors' fear gauge, retreated for a second day after touching a 20-week high last week on surging coronavirus cases globally. Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh, said a Biden victory could lead to some inflation, which would be beneficial to banks in particular. "A Federal Reserve committed to keeping rates lower and yet allowing not a flat curve but one with some steepening to it, and then some inflation and you get yourself a hip hip hooray for banks." The S&P banking subindex surged 2.6% to its highest in more than a week, while industrials Caterpillar Inc and Honeywell International Inc rose about 2% each. By 10:11 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 553.70 points, or 2.06%, at 27,478.75, the S&P 500 was up 57.67 points, or 1.74%, at 3,367.91, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 171.87 points, or 1.57%, at 11,129.49. Technology and communication services stocks, which powered Wall Street's rally from the coronavirus-driven slump in March, were among the smallest gainers. Arista Networks Inc jumped 18.6%, among the leading gainers on the benchmark S&P 500, after the network-gear maker reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit. PayPal Holdings Inc reported better-than-expected quarterly results, boosted by a surge in digital payments. However, its shares dropped 3.1% after more than doubling in value since March. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners 7.52-to-1 on the NYSE and 5.34-to-1 on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 14 new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 33 new highs and 11 new lows.

By Medha Singh and Shivani Kumaresan Oct 19 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes slipped on Monday as losses in tech-related heavyweights Facebook and Amazon eclipsed optimism on a coronavirus relief deal before the Nov. 3 presidential election. U.S. stocks had opened higher after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was optimistic legislation could be pushed through before the election, but acknowledged an agreement would have to come by Tuesday for that to happen. Last week the White House proposed a $1.8 trillion stimulus package to help Americans struggling with the economic ravages of the coronavirus pandemic, but Pelosi said the offer fell short in a range of areas and stuck to her demand for $2.2 trillion in aid. "I do believe that both sides, even though two weeks before election, can see the way to getting some money back into unemployment programs," said Kim Forrest, Chief Investment Officer, Bokeh Capital Partners, Pittsburgh. Wall Street's fear gauge rose for a sixth straight session as election campaigns kicked into high gear, with early voting starting in Florida, a battleground state that could decide the presidential election. President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden will debate for a final time on Thursday. Amazon.com, Facebook Inc and Microsoft Corp fell between 0.8% and 1%. They were among the biggest drags on the S&P 500. All major S&P sectors were trading lower, with the communication services index down about 1%. "It's just the general volatility here. I wouldn't be surprised to see this bouncing around all day," said Tony Bedikian, head of global markets at Citizens Bank. At 12:40 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 100.05 points, or 0.35%, at 28,506.26, the S&P 500 was down 15.01 points, or 0.43%, at 3,468.80. The Nasdaq Composite was down 36.10 points, or 0.31%, at 11,635.45. Video-streaming service Netflix Inc was a bright spot, rising 1.2% ahead of its results on Tuesday. After the financial sector set a mixed tone to the start of the third-quarter earnings season, investors will look to results from about 91 S&P 500 companies this week including International Business Machines Corp, whose quarterly report is expected later in the day. Oilfield services provider Halliburton Co posted a fourth consecutive quarterly loss as this year's slump in oil prices due to the COVID-19 pandemic hit demand ngentot di kapal for its services. Its shares, however, rose about 3.3%. ConocoPhillips slipped 0.1% as it agreed to buy U.S. shale oil producer Concho Resources Inc for $9.7 billion as the energy sector continued to consolidate. Concho fell 0.9%. Chipmaker Microchip Technology Inc gained about 1.6% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to "overweight." Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.01-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.07-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 25 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 94 new highs and 22 new lows.

2022-12-10T07:49:18Z

Ngentot18z:

By Sruthi Shankar and Susan Mathew Jan 9 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks hit record highs on Thursday as Middle East tensions eased, optimism about a U.S.-China trade deal firmed and several brokerages boosted price targets on high-profile companies. Investors snapped up market heavyweights including Apple Inc , Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com Inc, Alphabet Inc and Facebook Inc, bokep gay terbaru lifting their shares between 0.9% and 2.0%. Apple gained on twin support from data showing iPhone sales jumped more than 18% in China in December, as well as a price target hike by Jefferies on expectations of a strong finish to 2019. Cowen Equity Research raised its price target on Alphabet, Facebook, and Twitter Inc after its survey of U.S. ad buyers showed upbeat spending in 2020. Technology stocks rose 1%, the most among the major S&P sectors. After a wobbly start to the new year on fears of an all-out conflict in the Middle East, nerves eased as Washington and Tehran looked to defuse the crisis after Iran's retaliatory attack following the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general. In another support to stocks, China's commerce ministry said Vice Premier Liu He will sign a Phase 1 deal in Washington next week. "The fear of a new Middle East war was taken off the table and the assertion that China is going to ink a deal with America kind of gives a path to growth globally," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. "And it's January - people tend to put money into the market and that tends to drive it up." At 11:29 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 182.22 points, or 0.63%, at 28,927.31, the S&P 500 was up 17.59 points, or 0.54%, at 3,270.64 and the Nasdaq Composite was up 70.40 points, or 0.77%, at 9,199.64. Among the weak spots was the department store operator Kohl's Corp, which slid 9.2% after reporting lower holiday season sales. Smaller rival J.C. Penney Co Inc dropped 10.8% after disappointing same-store sales numbers. With the fourth-quarter earnings season kicking off next week, analysts expect profits for S&P 500 companies to drop 0.6% in their second consecutive quarterly decline, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners for a 1.39-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.68-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 67 new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 129 new highs and 8 new lows.

US STOCKS-Wall Street Set For Higher Open On M A Activity Vaccine...

2022-12-10T07:01:06Z

Ngentot18z:

By Medha Singh and Devik Jain Sept 14 (Reuters) - Futures pointed to a higher open for Wall Street on Monday on signs of progress in developing a COVID-19 vaccine and a flurry of multi-billion dollar deals, including reports of Oracle winning the battle for the U.S. arm of TikTok. Shares of Oracle surged 6% to near record highs in premarket trading, leading gains among the S&P 500 constituents after sources said the cloud services firm was entering a deal with TikTok-owner ByteDance structured as a partnership to navigate geopolitical tensions. A Microsoft Corp-led consortium that included Walmart Inc was also in talks for TikTok's U.S. business. Their shares fell marginally. Nvidia Corp jumped 5.8% on plans to buy UK-based chip designer Arm from Japan's SoftBank Group Corp for as much as $40 billion, in a deal set to reshape the global semiconductor landscape. "Wall Street always rewards growth," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. "That's why these deals are exciting, because if you put two companies together, by definition, you're going to have inorganic growth, but you're going to see growth." The S&P 500 is coming off of two straight weeks of losses, its first such pace of declines since the coronavirus-led crash in March, as investors sold heavyweight technology shares that had powered the benchmark index to record highs in five-months. On Monday, Amazon.com rose about 2% after the online shopping giant said it is hiring 100,000 more workers in its latest job spree for the United States this year - to keep pace with e-commerce demand that jumped during the pandemic. Apple Inc, Facebook.com and Google-parent Alphabet Inc rose between 1% and 1.4%. At 8:18 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 238 points, or 0.86%, S&P 500 e-minis were up 38 points, or 1.14% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 143 points, boobs or 1.29%. Global equities also got a lift on Monday after drugmaker AstraZeneca resumed its British clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine, one of the most advanced in development. Pfizer Inc gained 2.1% after the drugmaker and German biotech firm BioNTech SE proposed expansion of their Phase 3 pivotal COVID-19 vaccine trial to about 44,000 participants. Later this week investors will focus on the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting before the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential elections. Gilead Sciences Inc slipped 1.4% as it said will acquire biotech company Immunomedics Inc for $21 billion, a move that will strengthen its cancer portfolio by gaining access to a promising drug. Shares of Immunomedics more than doubled in value. (Reporting by Medha Singh and Devik Jain in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel and Saumyadeb Chakrabarty)

5-Apple apos;s New IPhone 13 Touts Faster 5G Sharper Cameras To Spur...

2022-12-10T05:21:43Z

Ngentot18z:

By Stephen Nellis Sept 14 (Reuters) - Apple Inc unveiled the iPhone 13 and a new iPad mini on Tuesday, expanding 5G connectivity and showing off faster chips and sharper cameras without raising the phone's price. The Cupertino, California-based company did not announce any blockbuster features or products, but analysts expect customers hanging onto older models like the iPhone X will be eager to upgrade. To encourage trade-ins, participating wireless carriers are offering incentives ahead of the year-end holiday season that to make the new phones free to some customers. The iPhone 13 website will have a new chip called the A15 Bionic that enables features like automatically translating text. The phone also has a better display, longer battery life and a Cinematic mode for automatically changing focus while taking videos. Apple said the iPhone 13 will have custom 5G antennas and radio components for faster speeds and will come in five colors. The phone will start at $699, and participating wireless carriers will offer up to $700 off for qualifying trade-ins. The iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099, with trade-in offers of up to $1,000. All three models will be available Sept. 24. The prices are unchanged from last year, but some carriers such as AT&T Inc will offer the devices for no additional if customers trade in a previous model and sign up for an installment plan. Ben Bajarin, head of consumer technologies at Creative Strategies, said he expects those aggressive subsides and trade-in policies will increase as a way for Apple and carriers to hold on to customers. "You don't have to put a down payment down and you keep paying what you were paying," Bajarin said. "That offer is unique to Apple, and it's a strength they have to keep these sales cycles going for them and for the carriers." The iPhone is Apple's most important product, but Apple has rolled out a web of service and other products that are seen as locking customers into a system they enjoy -- and would find expensive to leave. The Series 7 smart watch will feature a larger display and faster charging. It will start at $399 and be available later this autumn. The company also updated its iPad Mini with 5G connectivity and a reworked design that makes it look like the higher-end iPad Air and Pro models. Bob O'Donnell, head of TECHnalysis Research, said the small tablet was Apple's most surprising announcement of the day and could lure in customers who want a device with 5G that can handle more powerful apps than a phone. "I don't think it replaces any other device, like we've seen Apple try to position some of the bigger iPads as PC replacements," O'Donnell said. Apple also updated its base-model iPad with a new camera for working and learning from home. The base model iPad starts at $329, and the Mini starts at $499. Both will be available next week. Apple shares were down 1.2%, a sharper fall than a slight downturn in broader markets. "It seems like there's nothing really revolutionary announced, but of course, as usual, they announced enough improvements to at least generate some enthusiasm among consumers," said Rick Meckler, partner at family investment office Cherry Lane Investments. Apple's biggest product launch of the year comes as some of the shine has come off its stock as business practices such as charging software developers commissions on in-app payments have come under regulatory scrutiny. Apple shares were up about 12.7% year to date as of Monday's close, trailing the Nasdaq Composite Index, which was up 17.2% over the same period. Kim Forrest, founder and chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital, said she was not concerned by the lack of splashy, unexpected products, since Apple's upgrades would keep customers. "I think the consumer, once it gets the Apple chip in its head, it's very hard to dislodge," she said. The Apple Watch has become a cornerstone of its $30.6 billion accessories segment, which was up 25% in Apple's most recent fiscal year even as its iPhone revenue declined slightly. Analysts widely believe that Apple users who buy more than one product - such as an Apple Watch and iPhone - are more likely to stick with the brand and spend on the company's apps and services. Apple focused on fitness features such as improving how the watch tracks bicycling workouts and dust protection for hiking. The watch is paired tightly with Apple Fitness+, a paid service offering guided workouts with Apple instructors. The company added pilates and skiing-oriented workouts, and a group workouts function designed to let users work out together. The company also bundled three months of free service with its watch devices. Shares of exercise bike and online training company Peloton were down about 1.6%.

U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with a bipartisan group of mayors and governors on Friday as he continues to push for approval of a $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief plan to bolster economic growth and help millions of unemployed workers. Indexes have held near record highs as investors bet on more government spending. "There seems to be a pause in the negotiations for the stimulus so that kind of takes a lot of air out of the room," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. U.S. stock markets will be closed on Monday because of the Presidents Day holiday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.31 points, or 0.01%, to 31,428.39, the S&P 500 gained 7.88 points, or 0.20%, to 3,924.26 and the Nasdaq Composite added 28.38 points, or 0.2%, to 14,054.15.

Walmart Profit Woes Hit Retail Stocks Deepen Consumer Spending...

2022-12-10T04:48:54Z

Ngentot18z:

By Medha Singh and Lewis Krauskopf July 26 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. retailers slid on Tuesday after a forecast cut from industry bellwether Walmart Inc stoked fears of a broader slowdown in spending as high inflation raises costs for consumers. Walmart shares tumbled over 8%, while shares of Amazon and Target were both down more than 4%. The S&P 500 consumer discretionary sector dropped 2.8%, logging the biggest drop among the sectors in the benchmark S&P 500, which was off about 1%. Walmart's forecast marked the latest worrisome sign about an economy that some investors fear is headed for a recession. "It´s a telltale sign that the average consumer is hurting," said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia. "When you have America´s largest retailer guide down like this, you have to take it very seriously." Walmart's outlook provided "a diagnostic look at the average American household," showing that consumers are digesting higher prices of food and essentials by lowering spending on discretionary categories such as apparel, according to Jefferies analysts. The biggest private U.S. employer said its annual profit could fall by as much as 13%, adding that it would cut prices of clothing and general merchandise more aggressively to attract shoppers. "Whether we are in or heading into an overall recession, it's going to feel like a recession in apparel," analysts at Citi Research said in a note. JPMorgan analysts said in a note that the Walmart announcement "represents another data point of increasing consumer softness over the past two months ... as consumers buckle under persistent inflationary headwinds and drain reserves built up during COVID." Walmart's downbeat forecast comes as the Federal Reserve meets on Tuesday and Wednesday. The U.S. central bank is balancing raising interest rates in the coming months to quell surging inflation with trying to avoid tipping the economy into a recession. "I am sure the Fed is going to discuss all of this today and tomorrow," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. "We are seeing demand destruction which has to go into their calculus of how to raise rates." Among other retail stocks on Tuesday, Best Buy dropped 4.4%, Costco fell 3.5% and Dollar Tree slumped 5.3%. U.S.-listed shares of Shopify Inc slumped about 15% after the e-commerce firm said it would cut 10% of its workforce as it struggles with sales growth due to a post-pandemic slowdown in online shopping. Big box retailer Target, which lowered quarterly profit margin forecast in June and said it would offer deeper discounts to reflect weak demand, will report results next month. Bucking the trend, Coca-Cola Co raised its full-year revenue and bokep SMA profit forecasts on Tuesday as demand for sugary sodas stayed strong despite price increases. McDonald's Corp also reported quarterly comparable sales above market expectations even as expenses soared.

US STOCKS-Wall Street Set To Edge Lower At Open As Energy Stocks Slip

2022-12-10T03:32:39Z

Ngentot18z:

By Medha Singh and Shivani Kumaresan Feb 12 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes were set to open slightly lower on Friday as energy stocks slipped while investors booked profits after a rally on bets of fiscal stimulus and a vaccine-fueled bounce back in the economy. Chevron Corp, Occidental Petroleum Corp and Exxon Mobil Corp dipped between 0.5% and 1.1% in premarket trading as oil prices retreated on demand fears. U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with a bipartisan group of mayors and governors on Friday as he continues to push for approval of a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan. All three major indexes hit record highs this week and were on course for their second straight weekly rise, as a sharp drop in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations also buoyed hopes of life eventually returning to normal. U.S. stock markets will be closed on Monday on account of George Washington's Birthday.

EIN BOKEK, Israel, Nov 15 (Reuters) - At the lowest point on earth, in the middle of a giant salt lake where animals and plants have no chance of surviving, a jolly man dressed in red with a flowing white beard stuck a Christmas tree in the ground and went for a swim. Santa Claus came to the Dead Sea on Sunday ahead of the Christmas season, part of a campaign by Israel's Tourism Ministry to bring some Christmas cheer during a global pandemic that has kept Christian pilgrims away from the Holy Land. He rode a paddle board a few hundred meters (yards) offshore to a spot where salt has piled up in a massive mushroom shape, allowing him to stand in the middle of the otherwise much deeper lake. With pomp and circumstance he stuck a decorated Christmas tree in the salty bottom, struck a pose for cameras, and then enjoyed an effortless float in the Dead Sea's famous, saline-rich waters. Beyond the compelling landscape, Christianity has roots in the Dead Sea, whose surroundings are abundant with remains of ancient Christian communities. The Christmas tree, ngentot anak sma however, had no chance of surviving in the salty waters and Santa took it with him when he returned to shore.

By Medha Singh and Shivani Kumaresan Oct 30 (Reuters) - Wall Street's major indexes tumbled on Friday, dragged down by a slide in shares of tech heavyweights following their quarterly results, with a record rise in coronavirus cases and nerves over the presidential election adding to a downbeat mood. The three main indexes were on course for their worst week since March as spiraling coronavirus cases in the United States push hospitals to the brink of capacity. The CBOE volatility index held at a 20-week high ahead of the final weekend before Election Day on Tuesday. Apple Inc tumbled about 5.2% after it posted the steepest drop in quarterly iPhone sales in two years due to the late launch of new 5G phones. Amazon.com Inc fell 4.1% after it forecast a jump in costs related to COVID-19, while Facebook Inc shed 6.2% as it warned of a tougher 2021. Tech and consumer discretionary sectors posted the steepest percentage declines. Communication services got a boost from a 3.9% jump in shares of Alphabet Inc after the Google parent beat estimates for quarterly sales as businesses resumed advertising. "There is a big selloff in those big tech names because they didn't live up to the hype and people are really worried about next week's election," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. President Donald Trump has consistently trailed Democratic challenger Biden in national polls for months, but polls in the most competitive states have shown a closer race. At 10:52 a.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 423.74 points, or 1.58%, bokep hijab to 26,237.80, the S&P 500 lost 59.85 points, or 1.81%, to 3,250.76 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 297.66 points, or 2.65%, to 10,888.81. The third-quarter earnings season is past its halfway mark, with about 84.8% of S&P 500 companies topping earnings estimates, according to Refinitiv data. Overall, profit is expected to fall 13.4% from a year earlier. Twitter Inc slumped about 20% after the micro-blogging site reported fewer users than expected and warned the U.S. election could impact ad revenue. AbbVie Inc gained 5% after the drugmaker posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings and raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast. Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 3.9-to-1 ratio, while on Nasdaq, a 0.3-to-1 ratio favored advancers. The S&P 500 posted two new 52-week highs and one new low, whereas the Nasdaq Composite recorded 12 new highs and 63 new lows.

Stocks Oil Tumble For The Week On Virus U.S. Election Angst

2022-12-10T01:58:18Z

Ngentot18z:

By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Stocks across the globe resumed their slide on Friday and oil posted a double-digit weekly fall on continued concern over the economic impact of rising global coronavirus infections and ahead of Tuesday's U.S. presidential election. Global coronavirus cases rose by over 500,000 for the first time this week, with France and Germany preparing fresh lockdowns while a record surge of U.S. cases is pushing hospitals to the brink of capacity and killing up to 1,000 people a day. Underwhelming outlooks and results from some of Wall Street's largest companies, including Apple and Facebook, further soured the mood and dragged U.S. stocks lower. "There is a big selloff in those big tech names because they didn't live up to the hype and people are really worried about next week's election," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. Ahead of the last campaign weekend, Republican President Donald Trump trails Democratic challenger Joe Biden in national opinion polls, as he has done for months, partly because of widespread disapproval of Trump's handling of the coronavirus. Opinion polls in the most competitive states that will decide the election have shown a closer race, still favoring Biden. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 157.51 points, or 0.59%, to 26,501.6, the S&P 500 lost 40.15 points, or 1.21%, to 3,269.96 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 274.00 points, or 2.45%, to 10,911.59. The S&P fell 5.6% this week and nearly 3% in October. The pan-European STOXX 600 index edged up 0.18% on the day but also lost 5.6% this week. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe shed 1.16% on Friday and lost 5.3% this week. Emerging market stocks posted a weekly 3% decline. Oil prices fell for the fourth time this week, weighed by demand concerns as COVID-19 cases swelled globally and fresh lockdowns were to start in Europe's two largest economies. "Many nations with high oil consumption across the world are seeing infection levels that they didn´t have even during the first wave," said Paola Rodriguez-Masiu, Rystad Energy's senior oil markets analyst. "These infection levels are destined to bite oil demand, as traffic will be curbed to a minimum during the coming lockdowns." U.S. crude fell 1.38% to $35.67 per barrel and ngentot di kapal Brent was at $37.45, down 0.53% on the day. Both fell over 10% this week alone. The oil weakness led to a sell-off of some commodity-linked currencies, including the Russian rouble. The dollar index, measuring the greenback against a basket of peers, ticked up for the day and posted its second weekly gain of over 1% in more than six months as its safe-haven appeal shone. On the day, the dollar index rose 0.152%, with the euro down 0.25% to $1.1645. The Japanese yen weakened 0.05% versus the greenback at 104.68 per dollar, while the British pound was last trading at $1.2953, up 0.21% on the day. A risk-on revival after the U.S. election could however see the dollar resume its slide from the March highs. "Our month-end models show a backdrop that would favor a slightly weaker dollar," said Mazen Issa, senior currency strategist at TD Securities in New York. Longer-dated Treasury debt sold off, steepening the yield curve to the widest since June, as investors anticipated the deluge of supply that would come from a post-election stimulus package. The 30-year bond last fell 28/32 in price to yield 1.6633%, from 1.625% late on Thursday. Benchmark Treasury yields ticked up, with 10-year notes last down 12/32 in price to yield 0.8754%, from 0.836%. The 2-year note was little changed on the day. Spot gold added 0.6% to $1,877.90 an ounce. Silver gained 1.53% to $23.63.
