Overnight in the US Wall St was a sea of red as all 3 major indexes saw sizeable declines. The Dow Jones fared the best, falling 0.53%, while the S&P500 retreated 1.17%, and the Nasdaq was hit the hardest, closing down 2.04%. The AI sector remains the most in focus as investors continue to be concerned that valuations far outweigh fundamentals - big names such as Oracle, AMD, Nvidia and Amazon all pulled back, while Palantir shares dropped 9% after releasing its quarterly results despite beating guidance.Both Europe and Asia saw similar trends overnight, as the majority of the major markets closed in the red. In Europe, the German DAX and French CAC fell 0.76% and 0.52%, although the UK's FTSE was the exception, advancing 0.14%. In Asia, China's CSI, the Hong Kong Hang Seng and Japan's Nikkei all closed down over 0.75%.Locally yesterday, the ASX200 dropped 0.9% to its lowest point in nearly 6 weeks off the back of the RBA's monthly cash rate meeting, as governor Michelle Bullock warned that there could be more inflationary pressure in the economy than expected. Although the RBA's decision to leave the rate unchanged was widely expected, the cautious tone regarding inflation in their monetary policy statement left investors concerned.Utilities saw the biggest decline on the day amid plans by the federal government to force power companies into offering customers 3 free hours of power in the middle of the day – Origin Energy (ASX:ORG) and AGL (ASX:AGL) slipped 3.8 and 3.7% respectively. What to watch today:Ahead of today's trading session however, the SPI futures indicate that the ASX will rebound with a 0.2% jump at the open. In commodities, prices across the board have seen drops over the last 24 hours.

At the current price of 55 cents per share, this implies a 15% share price growth within the year. And Trading Central have identified a bearish signal in Bapcor Ltd (ASX:BAP), indicating that the price may fall from the close of $2.42 to the range of $1.65 - $1.80 over a period of 9 days according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

In the US, Wall St kicked off November with a mixed session overnight. The Dow Jones closed down 0.48%, the S&P advanced a little over 0.1%, while the tech heavy Nasdaq added 0.46%, spurred on by gains in the AI sector. The biggest news was the announcement of a major $38 billion deal between OpenAI and Amazon, which lead to Amazon shares jumping a further 4%. Europe too saw a mixed session – the Stoxx600 closed nearly flat as declines of 0.16% in the UK's FTSE and 0.14% in the French CAC offset a 0.73% jump in Germany's DAX. Meanwhile, Asian markets closed green across the board, lead by gains of 0.97%, 0.27%, and 2.12% in Hong Kong's Hang Seng, China's CSI and Japan's Nikkei. Locally yesterday, despite opening down and falling as low as 0.4%, the ASX200 closed out the day up 0.15%, driven primarily by gains across the banks. Westpac (ASX:WBC) saw the biggest gain, adding 2.8%, while CommBank (ASX:CBA), NAB (ASX:NAB), and ANZ (ASX:ANZ) all advanced 2.3%, 0.9% and 0.9% respectively. On the losing end, healthcare continued its run of poor performance, with major names ResMed (ASX:RMD) dropping 4.3%, and CSL (ASX:CSL) continuing its freefall with another 1.7% drop. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the SPI futures are predicting the ASX will open down for a second straight day, indicating a 0.1% drop at the open. In commodities, Gold, Crude Oil and Iron ore are all trading flat today with no changes in their prices. Gold remains at $4003 USD per ounce, Crude Oil at 61 USD per barrel, and Iron Ore at 105 USD per tonne. Trading ideas:Bell Potter has maintained its current Buy rating on defence name DroneShield (ASX:DRO) with its current 12 month price target at $5.30 per share, after they announced a new $25.3 million contract in Latin America with delivery and payment through the next 2 quarters. And Trading Central have identified a bullish signal in Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS), indicating that the price may rise from the close of $25.12 to the range of $27 - $27.40 over a period of 33 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

Wall St ended last week's trading session in the green, with all 3 key indexes closing up. The S&P500 added 0.26%, the Dow Jones advanced 0.09%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped 0.61%, mainly driven by a nearly 10% surge in Amazon shares after announcing strong quarterly results.In contrast, European markets dropped across the board, as investors reacted to a flurry of quarterly results, regional economic data and recent policy announcements.  The Stoxx 600 ended down by 0.51%, The U.K.'s FTSE and France's CAC both closed lower by 0.44%, and Germany's DAX ended 0.67% down.Locally on Friday, the ASX closed flat to end the trading, as strong gains for gold miners across the market were offset by declines mainly in the consumer discretionary sector. Westgold (ASX:WGX) and Newmont (ASX:NEM) added 6% and 3.5% respectively, while on the other end JB Hi-Fi fell 3.4% and Wesfarmers (ASX:WES) lost 2.5%.What to watch today:Ahead of today's trading session, the SPI futures are indicating that the ASX will open the new week slightly down, predicting a 0.06% decline.In commodities, gold is trading down half a percent at 4004 USD per ounce. Crude oil is up 0.68% at 60.9 USD per barrel, and iron ore is trading up less than 0.1% at 105 USD per tonne.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has updated its recommendation on Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV) from a Hold to a Buy after positive Q1 FY26 results suggest its retail sales trajectory is improving.And trading central have identified a bullish signal in New Hope Corporation (ASX:NHC), indicating that the price may rise from the close of $4.19 per share to the range of $4.40 to $4.46 per share over a period of 21 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news rising inflation pressures are now appearing everywhere in the West, underpinned by poor economic judgements.This week will be a busy one on the economic data front, even with the US federal agencies shut down.Locally, all eyes will be on the Q3 labour market data and most observers expect it to show our jobless rate rise to 5.3%.In Australia, the key economic event will be the RBA's rate review late on Tuesday and there will be heightened interest on how they view their rising inflation. That will drive a reassessment by financial markets about where their interest rates are heading. Australia's September trade balance is due and a big surplus is anticipated.Other central banks will chime in this week with rate reviews of their own, including Sweden, Norway and England, among others.In the US while they won't have any official data, focus will turn to the ADP Employment Report, ISM PMIs, and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. Canada will release its labour market data too.In China, the October trade surplus is expected to widen to around US$100 bln, although the latest official NBS manufacturing PMI showed a decline in new export orders for October. The broader RatingDog (Caixin) Manufacturing PMI is also expected to signal a further slowdown in factory activity, and its services counterpart will also be closely watched.China's official October PMIs came in over the weekend without any significant improvements from September. They say their factory PMI is now contracting marginally more and a noticeable step lower than last month, and their services PMI is barely expanding, when a small improvement was expected.Japanese industrial production rose +3.4% in September from a year ago, a much better surge in the month than the +0.5% rise that was anticipated.In the US, the Chicago PMI rose in October from its worryingly low August and September levels, but it is still contracting and it has done so for 23 consecutive months now. This month's slight improvement is on the back of a rise in new orders, modest as it may be. Basically this metric is just contracting slower now.But some companies are doing well there. An example is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway which reported profits of US$48 bln in its latest nine month result, US$31 bln in Q3 alone. They now have cash holdings of US$382 bln. Buffett himself is fading from view now and it will be a challenge for his replacement to maintain the charisma.The EU said its October inflation level is down to 2.1%, the expected dip from September's 2.2%.In Australia, there is more evidence inflation is embedding at levels well above 3%. On Friday they released their Q3 PPI and that came in at 3.5%, unchanged from Q2, and up +1.0% for the latest quarter. Analysts had expected it to reduce.in Q3, but that isn't happening. The RBA will be as unhappy with this as it was with the equally high CPI result. Only recently a rate cut tomorrow was a sure bet, but no longer.And staying in Australia, bank lending grew +7.3% in September, up +6.3% for housing but up +9.5% for business from the same month a year ago. But there is a noticeable dip in business lending in September from August which surprised some. Going the other way, observers were equally surprised by the monthly surge in housing loans.The surge is worrying APRA. The combination of demand from the FHB guarantee scheme, and exuberance by investors is joining to create the rush. And it is only expected to increase. So the regulator is stepping in with warnings to banks to reign in the party. High DTI lending is their special focus.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.10%, unchanged from Saturday at this time. The price of gold will start today at US$4001/oz, down -US$5 from this time Saturday. That is down -US$107 from this time last week. But it is up +US$141 or +3.6% for the month.American oil prices are+50 USc firmer from Saturday at just on US$61/bbl, with the international Brent price now just over US$64.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 57.2 USc, and down unchanged from Saturday. It is down -20 bps for the week, and down -70 bps or -1.2% for the month. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 87.5 AUc. Against the euro we are also little-changed at 49.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 61.8 and down -30 bps from yesterday, down -20 bps for the week, down -40 bps for the month.The bitcoin price starts today at US$110,113 and up +0.8% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just on +/- 0.6%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street introduced Freddy Krueger, a dream-stalking slasher who kills teens in their sleep—kills that become real—and was inspired by a chilling true epidemic of Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) among Southeast Asian refugees in the late 1970s–80s. A young Cambodian survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide (1975–79, ~2 million dead) resettled in the U.S., tormented by nightmares of being chased, resisted sleep for days, then died mysteriously in bed with no autopsy findings; the CDC documented over 100 similar cases of healthy young Hmong, Laotian, and Cambodian men dying overnight. Locally explained via folklore—like the Philippine batibat hag or Thai widow ghost suffocating victims—these deaths were later linked to Brugada syndrome, a genetic heart arrhythmia triggered by stress, heavy meals, or PTSD, though the "hundred years' enigma" remains unsolved, blending real trauma with cinematic terror.   Sources: Brugada syndrome: MedlinePlus Genetics.

The Aussie sharemarket extended losses to a third straight day, weighed down by fading hopes of another RBA rate cut this year after yesterday’s hotter-than-expected inflation data. The ASX200 slipped about half a percent, trimming October’s monthly gain to just 0.5%. Overnight, the US Fed delivered another 25-basis-point rate cut but signalled caution about further easing, while Nvidia hit a record US$5 trillion valuation. Locally, healthcare and energy stocks led modest gains, but sharp falls in consumer discretionary shares — dragged by Wesfarmers — kept the broader market under pressure. Investors also watched a high-stakes meeting between US and Chinese leaders, their first face-to-face since Trump’s re-election, aimed at easing trade tensions.

Meanwhile, the tech heavy Nasdaq bucked the trend and advanced 0.55%. The jump was primarily driven by Nvidia, which added a further 3% overnight and became the first company in history to hit the 5 trillion US dollar market cap milestone.All eyes are now on the post close, where investors will react to the biggest earnings day for the megacap tech stocks, with Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet results all due.Europe overnight also saw a mixed session – the Stoxx600 traded nearly flat, The UK's FTSE gained 0.61%, while Germany's DAX and France's CAC retreated 0.64% and 0.19% respectively.Locally yesterday, the ASX200 slid almost 1% in its worst trading day since September as worse than inflation results dashed investors hopes for another interest rate cut this year.

The real estate sector, which is also sensitive to interest rates declined as well – Stockland (ASX:SGP) and Mirvac (ASX:MGR) closed down 3.9% and 2.1%.Of the key sectors, healthcare performed the worst of all largely weighed down by CSL (ASX:CSL), which slid a further 4% to its lowest price since 2018 following a downgrade on its projected earnings. On the winning side, Uranium stocks performed very well after the US Government, Brookfield and Cameco announced a transformational partnership, with at least 80 billion USD committed to building new nuclear power reactors. The highlight of the day was Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) which jumped nearly 20%, while the broader Uranium ETF ticker code ATOM was up 8.7%.What to watch today:Looking ahead to today's trading session, the SPI futures indicate the ASX200 will open down a further 0.36%, building on yesterday's losses.In commodities, Gold is trading down a further 0.58% at 3929 USD/ounce, crude oil is trading 0.35% higher at 60 US dollars and 36 cents per barrel, and Iron ore is trading nearly flat at 105 US dollars and 66 cents per tonne.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has updated its rating on Woolworths Group (ASX:WOW) from a Hold to a Buy and increased its 12 month target price to $30.70 per share, off the back of promising Q12026 results showing growing revenues across multiple areas of the business.And trading central have identified a bearish signal in James Hardie Industries (ASX:JHX), indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $33.87 to the range of $26.25-$27.50 per share over a period of 21 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. “A Bloody Vendetta in Claiborne Parish,” in The Lake Providence Banner Democrat. "The last murder in the bloodiest Vendetta in modern times was committed the 20th day of August when Tom Kinder killed John Ferguson on the road from Homer to Trenton. For three years the fight has been on and twenty men have fallen in the conflict. There are two local papers here, but their editors have handled the incidents of the feud in a gingerly manner for fear, I suppose, of getting a charge of shot or a warning to leave town.

The Wellington mayor went out, not really in a blaze of glory yesterday, but more a fireball of misery and bitchiness. Tory Whanau is probably the local body poster child for ineptitude. She's given her bye-bye speech. She was a shambles. She may still be back, as she is standing in the Māori ward. She seems like a person who if she wasn't in local politics, might have trouble finding work. She admitted, after it was too late, that she really should have done her homework before chasing the big mayoral job. She won because too many people stood for mayor and split the vote, so by the time you deal with the appalling turnout and split the vote several times over, you need not a lot of support to get a job you weren't even qualified for any way. But that's local body politics, isn't it, at least at national level. Whether list or electorate, a group of experienced operators give you the once over. Locally literally anyone can have a go and that, if you haven't worked it out yet, is a problem. It wasn't all her fault of course. A mayor is not a president and is but one vote. But a mayor's job shouldn't be a "funsies" party trick because you are bored or unemployable. There were the personal issues. That is another problem in the lack of vetting. Some people are basically just a shambles and she is clearly one of those. That's not a crime, we all have issues. It's just advisable not to have them on display while you are trying to run things like a city. The city is pretty much a reflection of her leadership – a mess. Infrastructurally it's an embarrassment; level one water restriction when we are barely out of autumn, a devastated CBD and angst, fury and backstabbing having been a feature of decision making. That particular trait aired yet again in her farewell speech. We seem to be in an era where quality in so many parts of life has gone by the wayside. Tory Whanau is certainly an example of that. She came, she cocked it up, she flailed and flapped about like we were her psychologists as she aired her many and varied problems, then poof! She's off! Until she wasn't. They, sadly, rarely are. But honestly, in a city of Kitts, Fowler, Belich (maybe even Wilde and Prendergast), ol' Tory is hardly one for the record books. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Behavioral health was left out of the digital revolution in healthcare; now a $20 million federal initiative is changing that story. In this episode, Talisha Searcy, Senior Advisor within the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy, and Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, discuss the Behavioral Health Information Technology Initiative. Talisha explained that BHIT is a $20 million partnership between ASTP and SAMHSA focused on standardizing behavioral health data, advancing EHR adoption, and improving integration with physical health. Kacie highlighted that behavioral health was left out of the HITECH Act, creating long-standing gaps in infrastructure, funding, and data standards that BHIT now aims to address. Talisha emphasized the importance of interoperability and the USCDI+ for behavioral health, with pilots testing real-world data exchange and toolkits to help providers adopt these standards. Both emphasized the importance of collaboration across federal agencies to ensure alignment, as well as opportunities for innovators and the private sector to engage in shaping policies, particularly in areas such as interoperability and AI. Locally, Talisha noted how technology like telehealth is already improving access and care coordination in communities, despite workforce shortages. Tune in to hear from national leaders on how BHIT is setting new standards, driving innovation, and opening doors for providers and innovators in the behavioral health field!

Welcome to a very special episode and wisdom mini-series. This four-part series originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr.  In the truest sense this batch of wisdom has been two decades in the making. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019. The Art of Visualization In Part Two of our our mini-series, John tells one of his favorite stories. It's the story of the world's most famous sculptor, Michelangelo, working to craft the statue of David. This story is a wisdom lesson illustrating the incredible power of belief guided by the art of visualization. When John shared this story with me, it inspired me to take my marketing consulting firm, once a dream, to a greater level of reality. He challenged me to envision the greatest form my business and my life could attain. What might John's rousing story inspire in you today? More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him. John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings after many years working at R.H. Kyle Furniture Co. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success and earned induction into the National Wholesale Furniture Association Hall of Fame. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment. His leadership extended to serving as past president of the National Wholesale Furniture Association, where he influenced industry standards and fostered professional growth. Locally, John was known as an effective, tireless leader and chairperson of several charity fundraising drives. In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Though he never sought the spotlight, one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Today marks two years since Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups carried out multiple coordinated attacks in Israel - killing over a thousand people. Around 250 Israelis were taken hostage. It was a day of unconscionable atrocities and hatred. And war has only made the horrors grow. Israel’s military campaign has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians, according to the United Nations. Last month the United Nations Human Rights Commission declared that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Locally we see a lot of activism around America’s support for Israel and American business’ involvement in Israel and Gaza. But, what do things look like inside Israel right now? And will a ceasefire, if it happens, or the return of hostages, change the picture in Israel? Guest: Liora Halperin is a Professor of International Studies and History, and Distinguished Endowed Chair of Jewish Studies, at the University of Washington, and she’s the Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Near and Middle Eastern Studies.

In this quick review, Ettie talks about Talismans & Tarot by Lori Lytle . This charming book (no pun intended) integrates the use of tarot with the creation of personal magical objects to enhance one's intentions in their magical practice. Talismans & Tarot not only provides substantial resource for all 78 cards, but serves as a guidebook for creating a talisman from start to finish with thoughtful ritual suggestions, consecration and working with them.  This book was provided by Weiser Books, but the review and thoughts contained in it are honest.  Hang out with Ettie every Thursday and Saturday evening on Twitch to talk tarot and play games with tarot; Locally check out their classes at The Chattery teaching tarot classes in October!

Under President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the federal government is putting a lot of attention on autism. Scientists and doctors criticized Trump's debunked statements about the causes of autism from a press conference he held earlier this week. Advocates of autistic people and their families are also raising concerns about the way the president talks about autism. The Autism Society of Minnesota released a statement Wednesday calling this language dehumanizing and harmful. The federal rhetoric comes as autism centers in Minnesota are under scrutiny for fraud. Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged the owner of an autism treatment clinic with stealing $14 million from a state program that funds services for young people with autism spectrum disorder.Joining MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about this is the Autism Society of Minnesota's executive director Ellie Wilson and communications director Zephyr James, who was diagnosed with autism as an adult.

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #53 that originally aired on March 21, 2017. Charles and I will discuss mistake number 8 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” One thing we see often is that many investors will choose to look for parks locally for the sole purpose of being near the park. There is nothing wrong with being close to your park, but you definitely don't need to be. If you find that you live in a market where CAP rates are insanely low or in a market that is going through tough times, you would be much wiser to invest outside of your immediate area.

A team of astronomers recently reported the possible discovery of a compound in the atmosphere of another planet that could be produced by life. If the compound really is there, then the planet might smell familiar—like a day at the beach. Many factors go into creating the “smellscape” of the sea. Locally, things like pollution, red tides, and decaying seaweed can make the beach smell less than pleasant. Globally, though, the two major odors come from evaporated sea spray, and from a compound of sulfur and carbon known as DMS—dimethylsulfide—the compound that might have been seen on the other planet. Microscopic organisms in the water produce a related chemical compound. When they die, they release it into the water. Bacteria and enzymes convert it to DMS. A lot of it then enters the atmosphere—about one ton per second. In the air, it's destroyed within 48 hours, releasing particles of sulfur. Water vapor gloms onto the sulfur, creating clouds. The clouds reflect sunlight, helping control global temperatures. In fact, some scientists have looked at DMS as a way to combat global warming. They suggest pumping nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean up to the surface. That would feed outbursts of the organisms that start the DMS chain—creating more planet-cooling clouds.             In any event, perhaps astronomers on some distant world might find life on Earth by detecting DMS in our atmosphere—the living “breath of the sea.” The post Smelly Seas appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

PREVIEW: Jim McTague, former Washington editor of Barron's and now a Lancaster novelist, investigates signs of an economic slowdown. Despite national press reports, he hasn't found significant evidence locally. Interviewing "Phil the painter," McTague learned his workload remained consistently busy for five years. While some Lancaster business segments experience moderated foot traffic, potentially seasonal, the only clear slowdown sign McTague observes is in housing, where prices are being cut for the first time since 2021, suggesting a localized or nascent shift. 1913 GETTYSBURGH REUNION.

Every month, 5.5 million Californians rely on Cal Fresh, the state's version of food stamps. But Trump's $186 billion in cuts to SNAP, the nation's primary anti-hunger program, means that California will lose billions of dollars in funding. Experts note that these changes to SNAP, which began rolling out this month, constitute a drastic overhaul of the social safety net program and threaten to increase hunger in the country just as the economy is showing signs of slowing down. We'll talk about the impacts of Trump's budget decision on those in need as well as the grocers and food banks that help provide food to SNAP recipients. Guests: Leslie Bacho, CEO, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, a food bank that serves Santa Clara and San Mateo counties Lauren Bauer, fellow, Economic Studies, Brookings Institute; associate director of the Hamilton Project - her research focuses on social safety net policies Lupe Lopez, co-founder and owner, Arteagas Food Center, a chain of local grocery stores with outlets in San Jose, Hayward, and Gilroy among other locations Rebecca Piazza, executive director, safety net strategy, Code for America - Piazza served in the Biden-Harris Administration as Chief of Staff at the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, modernizing delivery of SNAP, WIC, and other nutrition programs Learn more about your ad choices.
