Libra Daily Horoscope Today, Nov 26, 2024 predicts good newsStocks closed higher on Wall Street, giving the market its fifth gain in a row and notching another record high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts’ estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company’s Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth straight gain. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 333 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite was essentially flat with a gain of less than 0.1% as of 3:07 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 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 1.5% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.4% 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 1.8%. 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 3.3%. 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 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% 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 closed 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.
PHWOAR! What about that hot assassin, eh? I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on his massive weapon. Know what I mean, girls? Wink wink. Urgh. So, according to some women — and no, Gregg, this time they do not appear to be of a certain age, more in their 20s and 30s — that bloke accused of gunning down US healthcare boss Brian Thompson was pretty bloody sexy. As such he’s not a deranged psychopath who took another man’s life just because he was angry at capitalism and couldn’t get a shag. READ MORE FROM COLIN ROBERTSON No, he’s the hot assassin with a rippling six-pack, a tasty bit of alpha male crumpet who just needs a mucky cuddle from a random stranger. And he’s only accused of shooting a middle-aged MAN fercrissakes! At one point, online marketplace Etsy had more than 100 bits of “merch” drooling over Luigi Mangione . They included such charming tat as a mug with his picture on and the slogan “Mama I’m in love with a criminal” and a “#freeluigi” Christmas tree bauble. Most read in The Sun GoFundMe pages were set up to help with his legal costs, presumably so he doesn’t go to jail and is therefore free to date all these weird women, currently all hot and bothered on the internet. Oh please. Can you imagine if it was a “hot” female assassin being publicly fawned over by men? If I was to objectify a cold-blooded lady killer here — no matter how much I wrapped up my obsession in ifs and buts — I’d be set upon by a furious army of feminists. I’d be cancelled by the end of the week and become more of a pariah than, I dunno, a man who killed a father of two he’d never met. But the creepy idolisation doesn’t end there. It gets worse. Some woke-drenched morons have embraced this ghost gun-toting maniac as a freedom fighter, doing his bit for all those people whose lives have been blighted by the likes of Thompson and his “parasitic” health firm. Jameela Jamil , a tedious British celebrity who’s never met a left-wing bandwagon she didn’t want to jump on, was quick out the blocks, posting on Instagram about Mangione’s arrest declaring: “A star is born.” So far so cretinous from the notoriously attention-seeking Jamil (who incidentally is another of these me-me-me celebs who has announced she is “queer” despite being in a relationship with a bloke since 2015). Self-righteous mob Jamil’s anointment of Mangione as the people’s hero was met with much approval by her like-minded army of idiots. Meanwhile, other Mangione sympathisers came thick and fast, from leftie no marks on social media to, worryingly, writers on supposedly serious newspapers. Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz confessed she felt “joy” at Thompson’s demise before being forced to backtrack. Meanwhile, one New York Times reader posted underneath an article about the killing: “Luigi Mangione’s lawyer should put the entire health insurance industry on trial and argue that Mangione was defending the public from a predatory CEO who profited off killing and bankrupting people.” You see, Mangione’s supporters — the #freeluigi brigade and all those who ponied up for those short-lived GoFundMe pages — think they have an argument to justify their actions. They would like you to realise how dreadful healthcare opportunities are for people in America and how “greedy” companies like Thompson’s exploit the sick and the needy for commercial gain. Their argument is just ugly provocation masquerading as debate On this they may have a point. Healthcare in America can be horrendously unfair and big business is generally never to be trusted. Yet in the context of what has just happened, their argument is just ugly provocation masquerading as debate. Notwithstanding the spectacular irony of caring so much about people’s health that you are happy to condone actual MURDER, are the Left now suggesting that an acceptable way to settle arguments is by shooting dead your opponent? So much for the #BeKind movement. But anyway, for this self-righteous mob there’s a catch. The more we learn about the oddball Mangione, the more his status as a swashbuckling woke warrior starts to unravel. Apparently this Ivy League brainbox was against “wokeism”, was an avid listener to the Joe Rogan podcast and had even posted clips from right-wing weirdo Tucker Carlson . Is a MAGA cap soon to be found among his possessions? What if he turns out to be a — shudder — Republican? Will this lethal lunatic’s fans still think his actions are worth celebrating? I think we know the answer. Bob Dylan... tangled up in who? GOOD luck to the producers of the new Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. I’ve seen the film and Timothee Chalamet is superb as the young Bob, deftly capturing his infamous truculence – and, yes, that voice. But depicting a much-loved icon like Dylan is never going to end well for any filmmaker as die-hard fans pick it apart, like is happening now, well ahead of its January 17 release. Dylan is a towering musical figure who means many things to many people and given the complexity of the man, I daresay no one will ever be able to define exactly who he is. Which is just the way Dylan likes it. As the great man said, the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. Footie not so pure I CAN’T believe they’re trying to corrupt the beautiful game by handing the 2034 World Cup to those head-chopping b * ds in Saudi Arabia . I was just saying to my mate Cootesy over a fat line of chang how outrageous it all is. He gave me a firm nod and said: “Buy the next bag and I’ll give their national team a red card!” Oof, cheeky! Then my man Ivan chips in: “Let me know which game it is and I’ll whack a monkey on them to lose.” What is he like? Nutter! I could see Pep wanted to chime in and then suddenly he’s in full flow: “Sounds like the Saudis have bought the World Cup. Now that’s what I call financial unfair play . . . see what I did there?” Yes mate. Classic. Kyle was laughing now, itching to pile in: “Hope Big Sam lets me go. I could take BOTH my families – they let you have FOUR wives over there. “Sam’s still the gaffer right?” “Not sure,” Glenn chuckled. “But I know it’s definitely not me.” Absolute weapons-grade banter. But we’re all agreed, Saudia Arabia is just too morally bankrupt to have any place in the whiter-than-white world of football . THOUGHTS with Oasis fans this week. Not only have they had to endure paying through the nose for tickets to see their 50-something heroes, now they may have to watch them without putting anything UP their nose. Dealers are panicking after £200million of cocaine was blown up after cops in the Dominican Republic found it in a shipment of bananas destined for Europe. That’s one hell of a wonder-haul! Greta on ego wars GRETA THUNBERG , the permanently peeved pipsqueak, has been out and about with her naughty words again. This time the now 21-year-old has been laying into Germany and Israel at a pro-Palestine rally in Mannheim, Germany. “F * Germany,” she thundered, cackling at her own outrageousness, before adding for good measure “and f * Israel”. Jewish leaders were understandably aghast at what they suggested was bordering on anti-Semitism. That may be correct. But one thing is certain – her outburst had everything to do with her ego. Because like a stage school brat, excitable Greta now seems more interested in the applause from woke Gen Zers than whatever leftie cause she has hitched her pushchair to. A FRIEND is cooking a pre-Christmas meal and facing that most irritating of conundrums – what to serve those who don’t eat meat? The sensible answer is of course: Nothing. She is a far more generous soul than me, and has caved in to the “pescatarian” demands and has plumped for a whole side of salmon. But another culinary quandary has been thrown in the works: “Lactose intolerance”. So no dairy products – aka the heartbeat of a proper Christmas feast. Eating etiquette is becoming a minefield with fussy eaters. It’s time to bring in a law that prohibits more than ONE dietary requirement per person. I SEE the “Hawk Tuah” girl could be facing jail time for fronting a dodgy Bitcoin. Haliey Welch shot to global fame after a clip of her saying how she likes to, ahem, apply saliva when pleasuring a gentleman went viral. Evidently well qualified to embark on a career in cryptocurrency , the school dropout then agreed to be the face of a new bitcoin called Hawk. READ MORE SUN STORIES It rocketed in value at launch then lost 95 per cent of its worth, leading to claims it was a scam. I will never understand bitcoin but I do think she missed a trick here. Surely she should have called it... Spitcoin.

Alarm grew in France on Friday over the fate of a prominent French-Algerian novelist detained in the country of his birth, with his publisher urging his immediate release and President Emmanuel Macron closely following the case. Boualem Sansal, a major figure in francophone modern literature, is known for his strong stances against both authoritarianism and Islamism as well as being a forthright campaigner on freedom of expression issues. His detention by Algeria comes against a background of tensions between France and its former colony which have also appear to have spread to the literary world. The 75-year-old writer, granted French nationality this year, was on Saturday arrested at Algiers airport after returning from France, according to several media reports including the Marianne weekly. The Gallimard publishing house, which has published his work for a quarter of a century, in a statement expressed "its very deep concern following the arrest of the writer by the Algerian security services", calling for his "immediate release". There has been no confirmation from the Algerian authorities of his arrest and no other details about his situation. Macron is "very concerned by the disappearance" of Sansal, said a French presidential official, asking not to be named. "State services are mobilised to clarify his situation," the official said, adding that "the president expresses his unwavering attachment to the freedom of a great writer and intellectual." A relative latecomer to writing, Sansal turned to novels in 1999 and has tackled subjects including the horrific 1990s civil war between authorities and Islamists. His books are not banned in Algeria but he is a controversial figure, particularly since making a visit to Israel in 2014. Sansal's hatred of Islamism has not been confined to Algeria and he has also warned of a creeping Islamisation in France, a stance that has made him a favoured author of prominent figures on the right and far-right. Prominent politicians from this side of the political spectrum rushed to echo Macron's expression of concern for the writer. Centre-right former premier and candidate in 2027 presidential elections Edouard Philippe wrote on X that Sansal "embodies everything we cherish: the call for reason, freedom and humanism against censorship, corruption and Islamism." Far-right figurehead Marine Le Pen, another possible 2027 contender, said: "This freedom fighter and courageous opponent of Islamism has reportedly been arrested by the Algerian regime. This is an unacceptable situation." In 2015, Sansal won the Grand Prix du Roman of the French Academy, the guardians of the French language, for his book "2084: The End of the World", a dystopian novel inspired by George Orwell's "Nineteen-Eighty Four" and set in an Islamist totalitarian world in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. His publisher said that Sansal's novels and essays "exposed the obscurantisms of all kinds which are tragically affecting the way of the world." The concerns about his reported arrest come as another prominent French-Algerian writer Kamel Daoud is under attack over his novel "Houris", which won France's top literary prize, the Goncourt. A woman has claimed the book was based on her story of surviving 1990s Islamist massacres and used without her consent. She alleged on Algerian television that Daoud used the story she confidentially recounted to a therapist -- who is now his wife -- during treatment. His publisher has denied the claims. The controversies are taking place in a tense diplomatic context between France and Algeria, after Macron renewed French support for Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara during a landmark visit to the kingdom last month. Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, is de facto controlled for the most part by Morocco. But it is claimed by the Sahrawi separatists of the Polisario Front, who are demanding a self-determination referendum and are supported by Algiers. Daoud meanwhile has called for Sansal's release, writing in the right-wing Le Figaro: "I sincerely hope that my friend Boualem will return to us very soon", while expressing his bafflement in the face of the "imprudence" that Sansal allegedly showed in going to Algeria. dax-vl-sjw/giv
Russian President Vladimir Putin extended an apology to his Azerbaijani counterpart after a tragic airliner crash in Kazakhstan, which resulted in 38 fatalities. However, he did not explicitly acknowledge Russian responsibility in the incident. Speculations have emerged, indicating Russian air defenses might have mistakenly downed the jet amid efforts to counter a Ukrainian drone threat near Grozny. A Kremlin statement noted defense activities near the plane's proposed landing site but carefully avoided confirming any direct hits. Both Russia and Azerbaijan have launched an investigation into the disaster, aiming to uncover the events leading to the crash, as attention converges on whether the catastrophe was linked to escalating geopolitical tensions in the area. (With inputs from agencies.)
