NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose in afternoon trading on Wall Street Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth gain in a row. The S&P 500 was up 0.4% and is solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 351 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.2% as of 1:03 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.6% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 3.1% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 3.4% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.7%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.2%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 4.1%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.4% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets were mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December.THE year may be coming to an end but some court cases in 2024 left residents shocked to the core. Here are five court cases which rocked Colchester in the last 12 months. A case like no other had Colchester and the country holding its breath, as the IT worker from Churchsfield, West Mersea, was found guilty and sentenced for committing a double murder. His victims, Stephen and Carol Baxter, were his friends and employers before they were poisoned in their home with a lethal dose of painkillers in April 2023. After a six-week trial, a jury found D’Wit unanimously guilty, learning about an altered last will, and a network of fake personas to manipulate the family from within. Luke D'Wit (Image: Essex Police) During the trial, the prosecution claimed that D’Wit, of Churchfields, West Mersea, administered a fatal dose of fentanyl to the couple and watched them die through a mobile device. The court heard how he created a web of different personas to befriend Carol and the rest of the family, including a doctor who gave specific health advice. The court was also told that D'Wit rewrote the Baxters' will to make himself a beneficiary and in control over the family bathmat business. He was sentenced to spend the next 37 years of his life in prison. Before passing his sentence, Judge Lavender said: "You ended their lives and brought grief and misery to the lives of others. "All of the family have made statements where they have eloquently and movingly expressed their profound loss and suffering." The Ann Marie McEvoy, 40, woman was found guilty by a jury of two counts of wounding with intent after an incident in November 2022. McEvoy, of Church Walk, Colchester, was found unfit to stand trial or enter a plea due to mental health difficulties, leading to a fact-finding trial being held at Lincoln Crown Court in June. The defendant was part of an eight-hour stand off with Lincolnshire Police, the court was told, which ended with McEvoy being arrested by armed officers who forced entry to the address where she stayed. Police recovered a large kitchen knife, which she previously used to deter an officer from her door, as it was captured by body-worn cameras and shown to the jury. The defence in this case argued there was no evidence linking the defendant to the knife. McEvoy was found unanimously to have carried out the acts she had been accused of, but a sentencing was adjourned. Bar owner Daniel Chappell denied causing the death of a 17-year-old girl, who died after suffering “catastrophic” injuries after being struck by a car on Hythe Hill in August 2021. Chappell, 37, was convicted unanimously by a jury of causing death by dangerous driving, despite claiming he was blinded by car headlights during the collision. He sparked disbelief when he shared pictures on social media saying he was planning to go on a trip and posts captioned ‘What a beautiful day to be alive’, which were branded “disgusting” by the prosecution and “gobsmacking” by the ruling judge. Daniel Chappell (Image: Daniel Rees, Newsquest) Chappell, of Prince Phillip Road, was given a one-year sentence suspended for two years, 30 days of alcohol rehabilitation activities, 300 hours of unpaid work and 120 days of abstinence monitoring requirements. James Baines, 24, was spared jail in April after he admitted five counts of possessing indecent images. Baines’ home in King Stephe Road was raided in 2023 and police discovered a mobile phone which had hundreds of images of sexual abuse on it. A further search uncovered three videos of the most serious category, depicting penetration of a child whilst they are in pain or distress. The supermarket worker received an eight-month prison term suspended for two years, 30 days of rehabilitation activity requirements, £340 in fines and an entry on the sex offenders’ registry for the next ten years. An extensive investigation by Essex Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Team, launched in 2016, saw a successful end in December, when Stephen Gallagher was sentenced to 25 years behind bars. Gallagher, 59, of Normandy Avenue, financially and emotionally manipulated his victims and tried to accuse victims of lying, as he denied all allegations. He was found guilty of ten offences at a trial at Ipswich Crown Court in May. Stephen Gallagher (Image: Essex Police) The judge said the effects on his victims were severe and would last a lifetime, as police praised the bravery of those who came forward to report the crimes. Det Sgt Carol Astbury, investigating officer in the case said: “These victims have waited eight years since reporting to get justice and hold Gallagher accountable. “The trial was postponed twice and sentencing adjourned three times however the victims remained patient and strong."waliya sport betting 。

When news broke that Alistair Johnston had been named alongside the likes of Ruben Dias and Antonio Rudiger on the long list of defenders in contention to be included in the FIFA ‘Best XI’, it was a heart stopping moment for the Celtic defender in more ways than one. Initially, he was rather mystified and more than a little alarmed as he woke to a deluge of messages from his family back home in Canada, fearing that something horrible must have happened. Thankfully, that turned out not to be the case, but while the news was in fact very good, he remained rather mystified by it, nonetheless. The modest full back is over the moon though to have been included alongside such stellar company, a recognition for his fine form for both club and country over the past 12 months. Even if he may have appreciated a little heads' up ahead of the news breaking. “I just woke up and I had a couple of messages from people that don't normally message me,” Johnston said. “My aunts, uncles. I thought what in the world's going on? I thought something had happened. And obviously you think the worst, you're waking up and you click on a photo and you see, oh, you're on a long list for the Best Eleven. And you're like, okay, well that was...the heartbeat slowed down a little bit there because I was actually fearing the worst. “But no, it's a weird thing. You would think that maybe they'd call your agent and pass it through the grapevine a little bit. But no, it's right on the social media. And that's how you kind of find out. It's funny. It's a great accolade. “It was something I wasn't expecting, but obviously a pleasant surprise. You look at the list of players that are on that, it's a pretty special list. “To think that I'm even a name that was even thought of for that was obviously a nice honour for myself. You don't really play for the personal awards. Obviously, we always play for the trophies in the team aspect.

He'll be probably dropping that one in on trivia night at the pub. So, it's good that he'll have that one in the back pocket. “But yeah, it was a pretty cool thing to wake up to one morning to see that. It was a very good calendar year for myself. Both off the field and on the field. So no, it is nice to get some recognition for that. “But at the same time, I’m not really too worried about those kind of things. We're just focused on, again, the next match, lifting up trophies here. Those kind of things go hand in hand. “It's what I've learned since I've been here. And you just focus on doing the little things, doing the little things right and being a good professional. Then, yeah, you might end up falling into a list like that somehow. “So, it was a nice little touch.” Celtic and Johnston kick off a massive week with a home match against Hibernian today before a trip to face Dinamo Zagreb in a crucial Champions League tie, before the League Cup final against Rangers next weekend. “Every week's a big week here, it feels like,” he said. “Hibs, not going to be an easy test at Celtic Park, we're ready for a tough game. They've obviously had an uptick in form since they got back from the international break and we're expecting to see a couple of different things and we're looking forward to that challenge. “And then after that, Zagreb away, another massive Champions League match where we have a chance to put some, hopefully, points on the board which would take us one step closer to the knockout stage. “And then obviously after that, a cup final, a chance for a trophy, which is why you come to Celtic to play in matches like that. “So yeah, it is a big week.” (Image: Steve Welsh - PA) Johnston is especially looking forward to locking horns with international teammate Junior Hoilett this afternoon, particularly as he has something of a score to settle with the attacker. “He's an unbelievable footballer,” he said. “Obviously he doesn't maybe have the legs that he used to have from five years ago, but in tight spaces he's a joyous footballer. “And he gave me a right doing in the cup semi-final against Aberdeen last year! So he hasn't let me live that one down and I haven't forgotten that one either. But no, he's a top player and always whenever we play small-sided at national team he's one of the first picks. “He's so good in his space. So he's someone that we're going to have to really be aware of, especially if they play in between the lines, which we might see. “So yeah, we're expecting a good match.”

House approves $895B defense bill with military pay raise, ban on transgender care for minorsNEW YORK — Outside Nebraska football team’s hotel, sirens blared, horns honked and music cut through the cold December air. A lengthy procession of cars, escorted by the New York Police Department, paraded through the Manhattan streets reveling with passers-by as they celebrated Hanukkah in full force on Thursday night. While trips to a New York Knicks game, the 9/11 Museum and other sights around New York City have been highlights for the Nebraska football roster, head coach Matt Rhule is pleased with the level of focus he’s seen from his players. “Walking around New York City, there’s a lot of things to do that could pull you away (from the game), but they’ve done everything right and we’ve practiced well,” Rhule said. One final non-football activity took place Friday morning when Rhule, Ty Robinson, Isaac Gifford and Jahmal Banks went to the New York Stock Exchange. Rhule helped ring the bell to denote the opening of the stock markets for the day. People are also reading... Beatrice house suffers severe damage from Christmas fire Is John Dutton real?

Having arrived in New York on Monday, Nebraska has practiced in multiple different locations which include the New York Giants practice facility, Fordham University and a Christmas-day walkthrough inside Central Park. “When we landed we went right to practice, and the first thing we did was put our pads on and hit,” Rhule said. “We’ve given them some free time, we’ve done a lot of cool things and celebrated Christmas together, but at the end of the day this is an opportunity for us to finish our season the right way.” * Friday marked the first time Nebraska stepped foot inside Yankee Stadium for an on-field walkthrough prior to playing in the Pinstripe Bowl. As players and coaches alike soaked up the feeling of being inside the legendary sports venue, Rhule found himself impressed with the bowl game’s setup. “A lot of times they play a football game in a baseball stadium and it’s kinda shoehorned in there, but when they rebuilt Yankee Stadium they certainly did it right because (the field) fits perfectly,” Rhule said. * A photo posted by Nebraska football’s social media accounts on Thursday showed the nine newcomers who traveled with the team and have taken part in NU’s bowl game practices. Transfer defensive end Jaylen George and eight incoming freshmen have gotten a “jumpstart” to their Nebraska careers, Rhule said, by being part of team meetings and the on-field preparation. * With wide receiver Isaiah Neyor having opted out of Nebraska’s bowl game, Rhule identified Jaylen Lloyd and Keelan Smith as two wideouts who could see increased opportunities on Saturday. * Nebraska’s transfer portal efforts are not yet fully finished. Following the New Year, the Huskers can again host transfer players on campus for visits. “We’ll be back at work on the first,” Rhule said. “There’s no break, there’s no vacation and there’s no time away; there’s the game and then we’ll be ready to host people that first week (of January).” Get local news delivered to your inbox!Griffin Mining Limited ( LON:GFM – Get Free Report )’s share price crossed below its 200-day moving average during trading on Friday .
