How to Watch Top 25 Women’s College Basketball Games – Sunday, December 1NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted amid mixed trading Monday, ahead of this week’s upcoming meeting by the Federal Reserve that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, coming off its first losing week in the last four . The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2% to a record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was a laggard and fell 110 points, or 0.3%. Broadcom leaped 11.2% to help lead the S&P 500 for a second straight day after delivering a profit report last week that beat analysts’ expectations. The technology company is riding a wave of enthusiasm about its artificial-intelligence offerings in particular. The market’s main event, though, will arrive on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve will announce its last move on interest rates for the year. The widespread expectation is that it will cut its main rate for a third straight time, as it tries to boost the slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its target of 2%. The question is how much more it will cut rates next year, and Fed officials will release projections for where they see the federal funds rate ending 2025, along with other economic indicators, once their meeting concludes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also answer questions in a press conference following the meeting. For now, the general expectation among traders is that the Fed may cut a couple more times in 2025, according to data from CME Group. But such expectations have been shrinking following reports suggesting inflation may be tougher to get all the way down to 2% from here. Besides last month’s slight acceleration in inflation, another worry is that President-elect Donald Trump’s preferences for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation down the line. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle has dropped his earlier forecast of a cut by the Fed in January, for example. Beyond the possibility of tariffs, he said Fed officials may also want to slow their cuts because of uncertainty about exactly how low rates need to go so that they no longer press the brakes on the economy. 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 so far this year and is heading for one of its best years of the millennium . The economy has held up better than many feared, continuing to grow even after the Fed hiked the federal funds rate to a two-decade high in hopes of grinding down on inflation, which topped 9% two summers ago. On Wall Street, MicroStrategy jumped as much as 7% during the day as it continues to benefit from the surging price for bitcoin , which set another all-time high. But its stock ended the day down by les than 0.1% after bitcoin’s price pulled back below $106,000 after setting a record above $107,700, according to CoinDesk. The software company has been building its hoard of the cryptocurrency, and its stock price has more than sextupled this year. It will also soon join the Nasdaq 100 index. Bitcoin’s price has catapulted from roughly $44,000 at the start of the year, riding a recent wave of enthusiasm that Trump will create a system that’s more favorable to digital currencies . Honeywell rose 3.7% after saying it’s still considering a spin-off or sale of its aerospace business, as part of a review of its overall business. It said it plans to give an update with the release of its fourth-quarter results. They helped offset a drop for Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world’s move into AI. Its stock fell 1.7%. Because it’s grown so massive, with a total value topping $3 trillion, it was the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 22.99 points to 6,074.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 110.58 to 43,717.48, and the Nasdaq composite rose 247.17 to 20,173.89. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down to 4.39% from 4.40% late Friday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, eased to 4.24% from 4.25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell modestly across much of Europe and Asia. They sank 0.9% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in Shanghai after China reported lackluster economic indicators for November despite attempts to strengthen the world’s second-largest economy. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2% as law enforcement authorities pushed to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree, and the Constitutional Court met to discuss whether to remove him from office or reinstate him.

President-elect Trump rewarded the Tesla, X and SpaceX chief for his support during the White House campaign by naming him head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, along with another wealthy ally, Vivek Ramaswamy. Although the office, dubbed DOGE, has a purely advisory role, Musk's star power and intense influence in Trump's inner circle bring political clout. As Musk and Ramaswamy strode into the Capitol for meetings with lawmakers, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson touted "a new day in America." "There's an enormous amount of waste, fraud and abuse," he told reporters. "Government is too big, it does too many things, and it does almost nothing well." Musk and Ramaswamy have said they can identify billions of dollars of cuts in spending, sparking questions about whether Republicans will even try to slash politically popular social security programs. Writing in the Wall Street Journal last month, the two businessmen laid out plans for the White House to cut staff, trim government programs and reduce federal regulations, even if it means bypassing Congress, which holds budgetary power. "The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long," Musk and Ramaswamy wrote. "We're doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. During Trump's election campaign, Musk vowed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion. This would represent cutting total US spending by a third, almost certainly meaning devastation of social support programs -- something that has never garnered strong political backing. Musk's emphasis on firing large numbers of government employees, however, echoes Republican talking points about the need to take on an overbearing state and may garner more support. Musk says he is seeking "mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy." Musk suggested banning government employees from working at home as an opening tactic. "Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome." Cuts will also target subsidies to public broadcasters and groups such as Planned Parenthood, which campaigns for abortion access and offers an array of reproductive health services. But DOGE is unlikely, at least initially, to go after welfare programs such as Social Security or health insurance for the poor and seniors, Ramaswamy said in an interview with Axios on Wednesday. Such cuts should be "a policy decision that belongs to the voters" and their representatives in Congress, Ramaswamy said. A reduction in military spending, which climbed to $820 billion in 2023, is also unlikely to be on the table. Musk's new role raises the question of potential conflicts of interest, since he could be issuing policy recommendations that impact directly on his own business empire. Underlining the close connection to DOGE, Musk's favorite cryptocurrency is called Dogecoin. rle/ev/md/sms/mdNone
Trane Technologies ( TT 0.06% ) is quietly having a fantastic year. Shares of the heating and cooling solutions company have gained 55% this year at recent prices, crushing the S&P 500 's 23% rally. It has benefited from strong demand for its climate solutions products, especially in the commercial construction market. The company is well-positioned for another strong year in 2025. Here's a closer look at what's powering its returns and its optimistic outlook for the coming year. Heating up in 2024 Trane's rise has been powered by strong demand for its namesake commercial and residential HVAC systems and its Thermo King transportation refrigeration units. Net revenue rose 11% in the third quarter to $5.4 billion, while adjusted earnings per share soared 21%. That continued the company's track record of delivering leading revenue and earnings growth. Its North American market was particularly strong , as net revenue jumped 15% to nearly $4.5 billion. It benefited from strong volume growth, positive pricing, and productivity gains, especially for commercial HVAC systems. The company is also generating strong cash flow. Cash from operations over the first three quarters of the year increased by 53% to nearly $2.3 billion. Meanwhile, free cash flow -- cash from operations minus capital expenditures -- rose by 58% to more than $2 billion. The company used that cash to strengthen its balance sheet (a more than $500 million reduction in net debt) and make some strategic acquisitions. It also returns meaningful cash to shareholders ($800 million in dividends and $1 billion in share repurchases paid or committed to for the year). That strong showing enabled the company to raise its guidance for the full year. It expects revenue to grow 11% while earnings per share should rise by 23%. That's an increase from its prior guidance of 10% revenue growth and 20% earnings growth. Strong momentum heading into 2025 Trane Technologies has a lot of momentum these days. CEO Dave Regnery noted in the third-quarter earnings release that "customers continue to choose our sustainable solutions." It had the second-highest bookings in its history during the third quarter at $5.2 billion, a 5% year-over-year increase. Its backlog is at $7.2 billion, 90% of which is in commercial HVAC projects, and it has a strong growth pipeline. Those factors help drive its expectation for "2025 to be another strong year," Regnery said. While the commercial HVAC market is the driving force, the company sees some positives ahead in its residential and North American transport markets. It expects its residential heating and air products to benefit from a growing economy next year. Meanwhile, it anticipates the transportation sector's current headwinds will shift into a growth tailwind next year. Trane also continues to invest in innovation to drive future growth. For example, the company recently acquired BrainBox AI, a pioneer in autonomous HVAC controls and generative AI building technology. The company plans to combine BrainBox AI's technology with its advanced building management and digital capabilities to help reduce emissions in buildings. The company also expects to continue generating lots of cash. It plans to use that money to continue investing in its business (organically and through acquisitions) while rewarding shareholders via a competitive and growing dividend and share repurchases. To that end, it has increased its dividend by 58% since March 2020 (including 12% earlier this year) and recently authorized a new $5 billion share repurchase program. That plan will start after it completes its current $3 billion authorization from 2022 ($1.5 billion remaining at the end of the third quarter). Trane is spending heavily on repurchases these days because it believes the stock trades below its calculation of intrinsic value even after its rally this year. (One caveat: The stock's price-to-earnings ratio is well above its 10-year average, so it's likely the company is assuming its strong growth will continue.) A compelling opportunity Trane Technologies is delivering a standout performance in 2024. The climate solutions company is growing briskly, which should continue in the new year. That's giving it the funds to invest in innovation while also returning a growing amount of cash to shareholders. With management's high conviction in the company's value proposition, Trane looks like a compelling investment opportunity to consider as we head into 2025.
After a thrilling double-overtime win over Fresno State, California Baptist makes the nearly 2,500-mile trip to Orlando to face Central Florida on Sunday. The Lancers (5-3) capped their time at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational in Palm Springs, Calif., with an 86-81 victory over the Bulldogs on Wednesday. That followed a last-second, 79-77 loss to SMU the day before. Dominique Daniels Jr. played 45 minutes against Fresno State and led California Baptist with 29 points. He paces the Lancers with 20.3 points per game, while Kendal Coleman averages 15.1 points and is shooting 59.7 percent form the floor. However, coach Rick Croy's team has struggled from 3-point range, shooting just 30.7 percent entering its first true road game this season. UCF (5-2) is coming off of an 84-76 win over Milwaukee last Wednesday despite being outrebounded 41-31. The Knights were helped by the heroics of senior guard Darius Johnson, who had 28 points as he shot a career-best 8-for-10 from beyond the arc. "Darius was terrific," UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said. "He's so comfortable in his leadership role now, he's leading our team and running the show, and our new players are becoming more comfortable playing with him. He's been a rock for us this season, and you love to see it out of a senior point guard." "I had an extraordinary night shooting the ball from three," Johnson said. "I rarely think that would happen again, but it's great. I know my teammates are going to have nights like that as well." Johnson is among the nation's leaders in minutes per game (36.6) and is shooting a team-high 50 percent from 3-point range (23 of 46). He, along with his fellow guard Jordan Ivy-Curry, are each averaging 16.9 points to lead UCF. The Knights opened the season with an impressive win over Texas A&M, now No. 20 in the AP poll, but lost both games at last weekend's Greenbrier Tip-Off, including a triple-overtime defeat against LSU on Sunday. UCF has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2018-19. This will be the first meeting between the Knights and the Lancers, who will each have time off afterwards. UCF won't play until Dec. 8 against Tarleton State, while California Baptist is idle until its Dec. 11 game at San Diego State. --Field Level Media
By Manya Saini, Suzanne McGee and Saqib Iqbal Ahmed (Reuters) -GameStop’s shares jumped on Thursday after a cryptic post from meme stock influencer Keith Gill, who shot to notoriety after his online personas and bullish bets on the video game retailer sparked a trading frenzy among mom-and-pop investors. Gill posted a picture resembling a Time magazine cover from 2006 with a computer screen on social media platform X. Following his post, GameStop’s shares spiked and traded as high as $30.87. The stock closed up 6%. Known as “Roaring Kitty” on YouTube and “DeepF***ingValue” on Reddit’s popular WallStreetBets, Gill was a key figure in the so-called “Reddit rally”, in which GameStop stock surged 1,600% at one point in Jan. 2021, crushing hedge funds that had bet against the videogame retailer. Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, noted that this is characteristic of a pattern that has evolved in the trading of GameStop: the stock’s price will rally, then when it settles down a bit or retreats, Gill’s “Roaring Kitty” persona tends to emerge with a social media post. “We’ve seen that pattern again recently; the stock was at $21 earlier in November but then rallied to $30 or so around Thanksgiving, only to give back most of those gains over the last couple of days.” On Thursday, about 300,000 GameStop options contracts had changed hands by 2:14 p.m. (1914 GMT), at about 1.5 times the usual pace, according to data from options analytics firm Trade Alert. The stock’s 30-day implied volatility — how much traders expect the shares to move around over the short term — jumped to a 3-week high of 132%, up from 93% in the previous session, data showed. Contracts betting on the shares finishing above $30 by Friday were the most actively traded options, with some 32,000 of them traded by late afternoon. ‘ANIMAL SPIRITS’ Gill resurfaced on social media earlier in 2024, after a three-year hiatus leading to a deluge of excited messages from his followers, many of whom have likened the social media phenomenon to a David who took on Wall Street’s Goliaths and won. “The re-emergence of the popularity of meme stocks tends to follow any general resurgence in market enthusiasm and animal spirits,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at B. Riley Wealth Management. “Whenever markets are at or near all-time highs, that particular part of the speculative side of stocks tends to pop up again.” The meme stock rally in 2021 was set off by Gill’s posts on WallStreetBets subreddit about the gains he had made on his investments in the highly shorted firm. The rally spread to other highly shorted stocks including AMC Entertainment as Reddit users banded together to squeeze bearish hedge funds, costing them billions in losses and drawing scrutiny from U.S. regulators. The entire episode inspired Craig Gillespie’s 2023 movie “Dumb Money”. Other so-called meme stocks also traded higher on Thursday after Gill’s post. Shares of Unity Software closed up 5%, while cinema chain AMC, another darling of retail investors from 2021, climbed 6%. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the faithful haven’t been distracted by other things. Crypto has stolen GameStop’s thunder recently,” Sosnick said. The video game retailer’s stock is up around 76% so far this year. Meanwhile, bitcoin has surged more than 130% and surpassed the $100,000 mark earlier on Thursday, fueled by optimism over easing regulatory headwinds, in what is a stunning rally for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

The University of Lagos has been awarded a seed grant by the African Engineering and Technology Network to research digital growth in youth-led micro, small, and medium enterprises across Africa. The study, which will involve collaboration with the University of Nairobi, Kenya and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, was announced in a statement obtained by The PUNCH on Saturday. The research lead from UNILAG’s Faculty of Management Sciences, Dr. Obigbemi Imoleayo, explained that the one-year project will focus on evaluating digital transformation and maturity within MSMEs across Sub-Saharan Africa. The research will cover various sectors, including health, energy, environment, and sustainability. Dr. Imoleayo noted that the study aims to identify the key challenges and opportunities that could accelerate digital adoption in Africa’s MSME ecosystem. She, however, lamented that these enterprises face high failure rates, often lacking the digital maturity needed to compete and grow sustainably. Recognising the transformative potential of digital technology, particularly for youth-led businesses, she said the study aims to assess the state of digital transformation in various sectors.

According to her, the structured research will proceed through distinct phases over the coming year. In the initial months, the research team will set objectives, refine methodologies, and build partnerships. “A comprehensive literature review and framework development are planned for months three and four, setting the groundwork for a digital maturity assessment survey and qualitative interviews,” she said. “These surveys and interviews will gauge digital capabilities and capture the lived experiences of MSMEs in adapting to new technologies. In the final stages, findings will be analysed and disseminated through workshops, conferences, and academic publications, ultimately informing policies that will accelerate MSMEs’ digital transformation,” she explained. Dr. Imoleayo reiterated that despite the advantages digital transformation offers, MSMEs often struggle to adopt necessary technologies due to resource constraints, including limited budgets, knowledge gaps, and time constraints. “This research will investigate several key questions, including the current level of digital maturity in MSMEs across sectors; the challenges and opportunities MSMEs encounter when adopting digital technologies; the impact of digital maturity on MSMEs’ business performance, innovation, and sustainability; and strategies and interventions to enhance MSMEs’ digital maturity,” she said. “Outcomes of the study will be shared with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and academia, aiming to foster a supportive environment for African MSMEs in the digital era. As part of this commitment, findings will also appear in policy briefs, book chapters, and journal articles,” she stated.

A major health insurance provider is backtracking on plans to cap anesthesia coverage for patients in at least one state. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield announced last month that starting in 2025 it would stop covering anesthesia during patient surgeries in Connecticut, Missouri and New York if the procedure exceeds a certain time limit. The change was slated to take effect starting Feb. 1, 2025. RELATED STORY | Doctors perform kidney transplant on awake patient, who is out of hospital in 1 day However, Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon said Thursday that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is scrapping the proposal in his state following widespread backlash over the policy change. "After hearing from the people across the state about this concerning policy, my office reached out to Anthem, and I'm pleased to share this policy will no longer be going into effect here in Connecticut," Scanlon said in a statement. While the health insurance provider announced the policy change in November, it gained renewed attention following the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot Wednesday in what is being described as a targeted attack outside a New York City hotel. The incident sparked widespread criticism of the U.S. health care system. RELATED STORY | Manhunt intensifies following 'targeted' killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Anthem said people under the age of 22 and those who are receiving maternity-related care are exempt from the change in anesthesia coverage. The company also said people who disagree with claim reimbursement decisions can dispute claim denials. "If you disagree with a claim reimbursement decision, please follow the claim dispute process as outlined in the provider manual," Anthem said in the announcement. "Documentation to support your request will be required." While Anthem has already reversed plans to limit anesthesia coverage for patients in Connecticut, it remains unclear whether the company will do the same for patients in Missouri and New York.Trump says he's a 'believer' in polio vaccine, and other news conference takeawaysElon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are bringing Trump's DOGE to Capitol Hill

Top 5 African countries with the highest gun ownership by civiliansRepresentational U.S. News has unveiled its nationwide rankings of nearly 25,000 public high schools across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings encompass traditional high schools, as well as charter, magnet, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) institutions. According to the official website, approximately 17,660 schools were ranked based on six key factors, including performance on state assessments and college readiness. In addition to the national rankings, U.S. News has also identified the best public high schools in each state. Today, we spotlight the top 10 public high schools in New Jersey, recognized for their academic excellence and student success. Top 10 public high schools in New Jersey as per the rankings Name of the school New Jersey Ranking National Ranking Graduation Rate College Readiness Enrollment (9 to 12) High Technology High School 1 24 100% 100 285 Edison Academy Magnet School 2 42 100% 93.8 175 Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health 3 58 100% 97.6 286 Bergen County Academics 4 62 99% 95.7 1,116 Bitechnology High School 5 72 100% 98.4 317 Dr. Ronald E McNair High School 6 79 100% 88.0 701 Bergen County Technical High School- Teterboro 7 90 100% 93.3 675 Union County Magnet High School 8 95 100% 86.6 303 Academy for Information Technology 9 111 100% 88.5 297 Academy for Allied Health Science 10 193 100% 74.1 303 New Jersey's top public high schools showcase excellence in academics, college readiness, and graduation rates, reflecting their dedication to shaping future-ready students.

All that is needed for an agreement on crossings is political will, UNSG Special Representative and Head of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), Colin Stewart, said on Tuesday at the end-of-year reception held at Ledra Palace in the presence of President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader, Ersin Tatar. The opening of new crossing points would benefit people on both sides of the island, would strengthen intra-island interdependence, building positive conditions for a settlement, and create positive momentum for the next steps, he added. Stewart also said that preparations for an informal meeting in a larger format which will bring together the two leaders and the guarantor powers under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General, are already under discussion at the UN headquarters. During the event, the two leaders talked for about 15 minutes , with Christodoulides asking the Turkish Cypriot leader to arrange a meeting. In his speech, Stewart said the traditional end of the year reception under the auspices of the Secretary General’s Good offices mission in Cyprus was also “an opportunity” to bring the two leaders together in a festive social setting, together with their teams, the diplomatic community, a broad spectrum of civil society, both sides of the island and United Nations staff. This gathering, he added, “is also a chance to take stock of what it’s been achieved in the past year in the name of a better future for Cyprus”. “I’m happy to say that while the world around Cyprus continues to go through unprecedented challenges, we are witnessing some new glimmers of hope”, Stewart said. “As you all know, in the first half of the year, a new personal envoy of the Secretary General, Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar, engaged actively with the parties and other key interlocutors”, he said. Building on this work, he added, the Secretary-General hosted an informal dinner in New York on October 15 for the two leaders. “This is the first time that these two leaders have met under the Secretary General’s auspices”, Stewart noted, adding that they agreed with the Secretary-General to start exploring the opening of new crossing points, “and I’m happy to note that in our initial discussions with the representatives of the leaders, we have noted a new energy, a new optimism, a new commitment to finding an agreement ”. “In fact, there was so much optimism at the beginning, we thought we would have an announcement for you here tonight. But these things take a little while. Nothing of this sort is ever quick and easy, but I’m hopeful”, he added. He expressed the belief that agreement on crossings was “doable in a way that is beneficial to both sides”, noting that all that is needed “as always, is the political will”. “The other important thing that was agreed by the two leaders was to meet again informally in a larger format which will bring together the two leaders and the guarantor powers under the auspices of the Secretary-General, for crucial discussion on the way forward”, Stewart said, adding that preparations for such a meeting are already under discussion at the UN headquarters. He also noted that 2024 has been “a landmark year” for the United Nations in Cyprus. “The 60th anniversary of the United Nations Peacekeeping and mediation presence in Cyprus was an unhappy anniversary in a year of unhappy anniversaries”, he said, adding that, all of which remind us that a settlement of the Cyprus issue, “is long overdue”. Stewart also referred to the work of the Technical Committees noting that, “as always” they have been working “quietly throughout the year on a number of good projects”. He noted, among other things, the work of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage and the completion of restoration work on a number of sites, on both sides of the divide. Stewart also said that the Technical Committee on Health continues to collaborate on diseases carried by mosquitoes, while the Veterinary subcommittee is now actively looking for ways to allow personal pets to be brought through the Green Line.
