Trump’s tariffs in his first term did little to alter the economy, but this time could be different
First Horizon Names New Head of Investor RelationsPresident-elect Trump wants to again rename North America's tallest peakNEW YORK: Wall Street’s main indexes rose on Tuesday in a truncated trading session before Christmas, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq up for the third consecutive day, helped by gains in a handful of megacap and growth stocks. Broadcom and Nvidia provided the biggest boost to the indexes, advancing 2.7 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, while Consumer Discretionary and Technology led gains among S&P 500 sectors. Global stocks mostly pushed higher on Tuesday in thin Christmas Eve trade as investors waited to see if a so-called Santa Claus rally would sweep the market. “Santa Claus comes tonight, but if stock market participants are lucky he will start sprinkling some gifts today, which marks the official start to the ‘Santa Claus Rally’ period,” said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O’Hare. With few major catalysts, thin trading volumes expected in the final days of the year raised the prospect of choppy trading. Stock markets will at 1 pm ET on Tuesday and will be closed for Christmas on Wednesday. At 09.42 am the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 32.38 points, or 0.08 percent, to 42,939.33, the S&P 500 gained 21.68 points, or 0.36 percent, to 5,995.75, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 116.55 points, or 0.59 percent, to 19,881.43. “Investors are breathing a sigh of relief that maybe the hawkish rate cut last week combined with the softer PCE reading indicate that inflation is not that big of a re-emerging threat,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA Research. “As a result, maybe this market will end up creeping higher between now and the end of the year.” After a stellar run to record highs following the November election, which sparked hopes of pro-business policies under US President-elect Donald Trump, Wall Street’s rally hit a bump this month as investors grappled with the prospect of higher interest rates in 2025. The US Federal Reserve eased borrowing costs for the third time this year last Wednesday, but signaled only two more 25-basis-point reductions next year, down from its September projection of four cuts, as policymakers weigh the possibility of Trump’s policies stoking inflation. Traders expect the Fed to leave rates in the range of 4 percent to 4.25 percent by the end of 2025, from between 3.75 percent and 4 percent about 10 days ago, according to CME’s FedWatch tool. US stock markets have traditionally fared well in the last five trading days of the year and the first two in the new year, with experts advancing a number of possible reasons as the festive holiday mood and purchasing ahead of the end of the tax year. “It looks like Santa Claus’s sleigh will be a little slow getting off the ground, but he would be the first to tell you that it isn’t how he starts, it’s how he finishes,” added O’Hare. There was little news to push trading in the half-day trading session in New York. Shares in American Airlines fell more than two percent as trading got away after a technical issue forced the world’s largest carrier to ground all its US flights for an hour during the busy year-end travel period. The airline and the Federal Aviation Administration have yet to describe the nature of the technical issue. In Europe, Paris’s CAC 40 closed higher in a pre-holiday short session while Frankfurt was closed all day. London also closed in the green, despite a week clouded by lacklustre economic data that is “stoking concerns about the UK’s slowing momentum heading into the new year,” said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. Hong Kong and Shanghai stock markets closed up over one percent, as China announced fresh fiscal measures to boost its ailing economy. On Tuesday, state media reported that China will raise its deficit in order to boost spending next year, as the world’s second-largest economy battles sluggish domestic consumption, a property crisis and soaring government debt. In company news, Honda shares closed more than 12 percent higher after the Japanese auto giant announced a buyback of up to 1.1 trillion yen ($7 billion), as it enters merger talks with struggling rival Nissan. The talks on collaboration between Honda and Nissan would create the world’s third-largest automaker, expanding development of EVs and self-driving tech. Honda’s CEO insisted it was not a bailout for Nissan, which announced thousands of job cuts last month and reported a 93 percent plunge in first-half net profit. — AgenciesMELBOURNE, Australia — An advocate for major social media platforms told an Australian Senate committee Monday that laws to ban children younger than 16 from the sites should be delayed until next year at least instead of being rushed through the Parliament this week. Sunita Bose, managing director of Digital Industry Group Inc., an advocate for the digital industry in Australia including X, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, was answering questions at a single-day Senate committee hearing into world-first legislation that was introduced into the Parliament last week. Bose said the Parliament should wait until the government-commissioned evaluation of age assurance technologies is completed in June. “Parliament is asked to pass a bill this week without knowing how it will work,” Bose said. The legislation would impose fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) on platforms for systemic failures to prevent young children from holding accounts. It seems likely to be passed by Parliament by Thursday with the support of the major parties. It would take effect a year after the bill becomes law, allowing the platforms time to work out technological solutions that would also protect users’ privacy. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said she looked forward to reading the Senate committee’s assessment of the proposed law, which “supports parents to say ‘no’” to children wanting to use social media. “Social media in its current form is not a safe product for them,” Rowland told Parliament. “Access to social media does not have to be the defining feature of growing up. There is more to life than constant notifications, endless scrolling and pressure to conform to the false and unrealistic perfectionism that can be served up by influencers,” she added. Bose received heated questions from several senators and challenges to the accuracy of her answers. Opposition Sen. Ross Cadell asked how his 10-year-old stepson was able to hold Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube accounts from the age of 8, despite the platforms setting a nominal age limit of 13. Bose replied that “this is an area where the industry needs to improve.” She said the proposed social media ban risked isolating some children and driving children to “darker, less safe online spaces” than mainstream platforms. Bose said her concern with the proposed law was that “this could compromise the safety of young people,” prompting a hostile response from opposition Sen. Sarah Henderson. “That’s an outrageous statement. You’re trying to protect the big tech giants,” Henderson said. Unaligned Sen. Jacqui Lambie asked why the platforms didn’t use their algorithms to prevent harmful material being directed to children. The algorithms have been accused of keeping technology-addicted children connected to platforms and of flooding users with harmful material that promotes suicide and eating disorders. “Your platforms have the ability to do that. The only thing that’s stopping them is themselves and their greed,” Lambie said. Bose said algorithms were already in place to protect young people online through functions including filtering out nudity. “We need to see continued investment in algorithms and ensuring that they do a better job at addressing harmful content,” Bose said. Questioned by opposition Sen. Dave Sharma, Bose said she didn’t know how much advertising revenue the platforms she represented made from Australian children. She said she was not familiar with research by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health that found X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat made $11 billion in advertising from U.S. users under 18 in 2022. Communications department official Sarah Vandenbroek told the committee the evaluation of age assurance technologies that will report in June would assess not only their accuracy but also their security and privacy settings. Department Deputy Secretary James Chisholm said officials had consulted widely before proposing the age limit. “We think it’s a good idea and it can be done,” Chisholm told the committee.
The Detroit Lions are set to take on the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving in Week 13 and the team hopes to have the services of running back David Montgomery for the divisional contest. Montgomery suffered a shoulder injury in the second half of the Week 12 contest against the Indianapolis Colts , which forced his early exit from the game. According to the Lions' injury report , Montgomery did not practice on Monday, was limited on Tuesday and then turned in a full practice on Wednesday. Despite closing out the week with a full session, Montgomery has drawn a questionable tag, which means he isn't fully guaranteed to play. However, there are reasons for optimism that he will suit up against the Bears. Here's the latest update on Montgomery's status for Week 13. David Montgomery injury update Per the team's final injury report, Montgomery was upgraded to full participation on Wednesday but is questionable. The fact that he was able to turn in a full practice means he has a better chance to play than not. #CHIvsDET injury report presented by Henry Ford Health. pic.twitter.com/1UdPbZz9hh Is David Montgomery playing in Week 13? All signs point to Montgomery playing on Thursday. Not only was he able to log a full practice on Wednesday, head coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism earlier in the week that Montgomery will play. "Dan Campbell says he feels good about David Montgomery playing Thursday," Dannie Rogers of the team's official website reported on Tuesday. Adding to that, Montgomery revealed after the win over the Colts that he was held out of the rest of that contest as a precaution and he expects to suit up for the Bears game. Asked David Montgomery if he could've gone back in the game if needed. He said yes, but Dan Campbell pulled him aside and told him, "There's bigger fish to fry." Said it was a smart decision and he'll be ready to go Thursday. At this point, it would be surprising to see Montgomery inactive. We fully expect him to play and have a normal workload against his former team. Even still, keep an eye out for the inactives list an hour and a half before kickoff on Thursday just to make sure.

During a press briefing, Spokesman Matthew Miller said the US supports freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association. "We call on protesters to demonstrate peacefully and refrain from violence, and at the same time, we call on Pakistani authorities to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms and to ensure respect for Pakistan's laws and constitution as they work to maintain law and order," said Miller. Thousands of protesters pushing for the release of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday entered the capital Islamabad amid clashes with security forces that left at least one policeman dead and several others injured. Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), called for nationwide protest rallies and asked people to descend on the capital to take back the “looted” mandate in the wake of alleged poll rigging in the Feb. 8 general election, the release of political prisoners, as well as undoing controversial changes in the South Asian nation’s judiciary. Since Sunday, protesters began marching towards Islamabad, which has been fortified with heavy security, including paramilitary Rangers, and continued on Monday. The government said that at least one police officer was killed and 20 injured – several of them critically – in firing by the protesters. The police officer was killed near Islamabad, said Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.MGNI Stock Soars to 52-Week High, Hits $17.01 Amid Growth

OTTAWA — Billionaire Elon Musk called Canada’s prime minister an “insufferable tool” on his social media platform today. Musk’s comments were in response to Justin Trudeau likening Kamala Harris’s defeat in the U.S. presidential election to an attack on women’s rights and progress. This afternoon, Trudeau met with provincial and territorial premiers to discuss Canada’s approach to negotiations with the U.S. Canada is facing a threat of a 25 per cent tariff hike from incoming president Donald Trump, who defeated Harris in the November election. Earlier this week, Trump taunted Trudeau on social media, referring to the prime minister as the governor of what he called the “Great State of Canada.” The post was an apparent reference to a joke Trump cracked at his dinner with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate nearly two weeks ago, where the president-elect teased that Canada could join the U.S. as its 51st state. Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation — an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics — Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women’s progress. “It shouldn’t be that way. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress,” Trudeau said, adding he is a proud feminist and will always be an ally. “And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere, women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack. Overtly, and subtly.” In a post on X on Wednesday, Musk responded to a clip of Trudeau’s remarks, saying, “He’s such an insufferable tool. Won’t be in power for much longer.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 11, 2024. Nick Murray, The Canadian Press
Judge rejects request to sideline a San Jose State volleyball player on grounds she’s transgender
NEW YORK : Facebook owner Meta Platforms will face trial in April over the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's allegations that the social media platform bought Instagram and WhatsApp to crush emerging competition, a judge in Washington said on Monday. The FTC sued in 2020, during the Trump administration, alleging the company acted illegally to maintain a monopoly on personal social networks. Meta, then known as Facebook, overpaid for Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 to eliminate nascent threats instead of competing on its own in the mobile ecosystem, the FTC claims. Judge James Boasberg set trial in the case for April 14. Boasberg earlier this month rejected Meta's argument that the case should be dismissed as it depends on an overly narrow view of social media markets. The lawsuit does not account for competition from ByteDance's TikTok, Alphabet's YouTube, X, and Microsoft's LinkedIn, Meta had argued. Boasberg said that while the case should go forward to trial, "time and technological change pose serious challenges" to the FTC's market definition. "The Commission faces hard questions about whether its claims can hold up in the crucible of trial. Indeed, its positions at times strain this country's creaking antitrust precedents to their limits," the judge said in the Nov. 13 ruling.Naira appreciates massively against dollar ahead Christmas holidaysA judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to continue competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship scheduled for later this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by nine current players who are suing the Mountain West Conference to challenge the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Judge Crews referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player in his ruling and noted that no defendant disputed that San Jose State rosters a transgender woman volleyball player. He said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting that the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a forfeit in league standings. He also said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 – making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a political campaign year. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. San Jose State is seeded second. The judge's order maintains the seedings and pairings for the tournament. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without providing further details. Crews served as a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him to serve as a federal judge in January of this year. ____ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.

Travis Kelce knows Jason Kelce 's game all too well. Which is why the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wasn't fazed by his brother's recent reference to his girlfriend Taylor Swift . During the duo's Dec. 24 episode of their New Heights podcast, Jason informed listeners about a discount code featuring the number 13, a figure beloved by Taylor, who was born on Dec. 13. "I wonder what the 13 is for?" Jason cheekily asked. "It's probably because it's my favorite number, right?" Without skipping a beat, Travis replied, "Yeah. Or maybe it was just Friday the 13th a few weeks ago." Indeed, it was nearly two weeks ago that Dec. 13, Taylor's 35th birthday , landed on a Friday. But Jason also added another possible theory, reminding Travis, "I was number 13 in hockey." This hilarious podcast exchange between the brothers comes shortly after Travis praised the Grammy winner for completing her history-making Eras Tour . “Shoutout to Tay,” he said on the Dec. 11 episode of New Heights . “The unbelievable Eras Tour has finally come to an end.” "Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like cumulatively," Travis added. "It’s pretty crazy.” I wonder what the 13 is for - Jason 😄 pic.twitter.com/vrNM2f83ok And Taylor has often returned support for Travis. Just a few days ago, she cheered him on as the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans Dec. 21. As the NFL player's season continues, best believe the "Cruel Summer" singer will make more game day appearances . "I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time in Dec. 2023. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other." And no, she's not focused on the attention her attendance might bring. "There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once," she explained. "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads." For more details on Taylor and Travis' winning romance, keep reading... July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it . However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast.

Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad , Scott Swift , at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage. " Karma is that guy on the Chiefs ," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me." After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss . December 2024: Speak Now Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games. "I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time .

December 2023: You, Who Charmed Her Dad The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man .
