The S&P 500 ended essentially flat, down less than 0.1%, after wavering between tiny gains and losses most of the day. The benchmark index posted a loss for the week, its first after three straight weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1%, ending just below the record high it set on Wednesday. There were more than twice as many decliners than gainers on the New York Stock Exchange. Gains in technology stocks helped temper losses in communication services, financials and other sectors of the market. Broadcom surged 24.4% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street's profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. The company also raised its dividend. The company's big gain helped cushion the market's broader fall. Pricey stock values for technology companies like Broadcom give the sector more weight in pushing the market higher or lower. Artificial intelligence technology has been a focal point for the technology sector and the overall stock market over the last year. Tech companies, and Wall Street, expect demand for AI to continue driving growth for semiconductor and other technology companies. Some tech stocks were a drag on the market. Nvidia fell 2.2%, Meta Platforms dropped 1.7% and Google parent Alphabet slid 1.1%. Among the market's other decliners were Airbnb, which fell 4.7% for the biggest loss in the S&P 500, and Charles Schwab, which closed 4% lower. Furniture and housewares company RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged 17% after raising its forecast for revenue growth for the year. All told, the S&P 500 lost 0.16 points to close at 6,051.09. The Dow dropped 86.06 points to 43,828.06. The Nasdaq rose 23.88 points to 19,926.72. Wall Street's rally stalled this week amid mixed economic reports and ahead of the Federal Reserve's last meeting of the year. The central bank will meet next week and is widely expected to cut interest rates for a third time since September. Expectations of a series of rate cuts has driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year. The Fed has been lowering its benchmark interest rate following an aggressive rate hiking policy that was meant to tame inflation. It raised rates from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023. Inflation eased under pressure from higher interest rates, nearly to the central bank's 2% target. The economy, including consumer spending and employment, held strong despite the squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. A slowing job market, though, has helped push a long-awaited reversal of the Fed's policy. Inflation rates have been warming up slightly over the last few months. A report on consumer prices this week showed an increase to 2.7% in November from 2.6% in October. The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released next week. Wall Street expects it to show a 2.5% rise in November, up from 2.3% in October. The economy, though, remains solid heading into 2025 as consumers continue spending and employment remains healthy, said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY. "Still, the outlook is clouded by unusually high uncertainty surrounding regulatory, immigration, trade and tax policy," he said. Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.40% from 4.34% late Thursday. European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1%. Britain's economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1% month-on-month in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Asian markets closed mostly lower.New College of Florida Receives $1 Million Gift from Beruff Family to Build 'Field of Dreams'bet365 philippines 。

Palantir: A Big P/E But Still Undervalued

For the second day in a row, Crown Attorney Jennifer Moser continued to grill the accused, telling him that he concocted lies to protect himself in the days and weeks following the bush party for young people off of Pack Road in southwest London in July of 2021. She told Carlos Guerra Guerra, 23, that he wasn’t being truthful in the hours and weeks following the shooting that left one person dead. He responded, "I didn't want to go to jail, I was scared that's why I lied to them." Again, Moser hammered away at why the aspiring rap artist was driving around London on the night of the shooting with a loaded handgun and Guerra Guerra responded, "The truth is what I said, I wanted that firearm to make a promotional video for my music." Moser continued, "You brought that gun that night in case you had to use it?" He answered, "I disagree." Moser said after being called out to the party by his distraught friend Emily Altmann, he put on a mask and was ready for a fight, asking, "You killed an innocent boy in cold blood. You did not do it in self defence?” Guerra Guerra told the court there was a person standing over him with a machete, adding, "I fired and feared for my life." Josue Silva, 18, would die after being shot in the stomach while at the bush party with friends. Several days later, Guerra Guerra would be arrested and charged with second-degree murder and assault with a weapon. He has pleaded not guilty. Before wrapping up, Moser pressed on one more time, asking, "This offence that you committed was the intentional killing of Josue Silva, right?" He responded, "Ms. Moser there was no intent behind Josue Silva dying." Guerra Guerra would be the only defence witness called to the stand. With all of the evidence now in, the eight-week trial has been adjourned until Dec. 30 when closing arguments will be heard in the case.

Americans abuzz over mysterious New Jersey sightingsPHOENIX — The man who strangled a woman to death on a Valley Metro bus in 2022 has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. Joshua Bagley was sentenced Friday in Maricopa County after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping, in connection to the death of 41-year-old Diane Craig. A bus driver discovered Craig unresponsive after the defendant strangled her on a Valley Metro bus in Phoenix. Bagley got off the bus before police arrived and was arrested a few days later. A couple of days before Craig's death, Bagley was released from custody in Maricopa County for an unrelated matter, even though an extradition had been signed in Mohave County to transport Bagley. Craig's family later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against government agencies for allegedly not properly extraditing Bagley out of Maricopa County. Bagley was sentenced to 25 years for the murder charge and 15 years for the kidnapping charge. The sentences will run consecutively to each other.

Hence, the Huawei Mobile Money solution is the Super app, which consolidates all mini-apps and features into a single application to better improve user experience. “There is also no limit on the number of apps to be hosted on it as it is cloud-hosted, hence, scalable.” In a separate presentation, Huawei explained the trends in the banking industry, which gave rise to the Bank 4.0 Trend. To prepare a better environment for enterprises to provide solutions, Huawei focused on its IT offerings that allow for non-stop banking with “4 Zeros” feature namely – Zero-Downtime through high availability, Zero-wait to improve customer experience, Zero Trust to ensure end-to-end network security, and Zero Touch to improve business operations.
