no$gba android apk NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes rose to more records Wednesday after tech companies talked up how much of a boost they’re getting from the artificial-intelligence boom. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to add to what’s set to be one of its best years of the millennium. It’s the 56th time the index has hit an all-time high this year after climbing in 11 of the last 12 days . The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 308 points, or 0.7%, while the Nasdaq composite added 1.3% to its own record. Salesforce helped pull the market higher after delivering stronger revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected, though its profit fell just short. CEO Mark Benioff highlighted the company’s artificial-intelligence offering for customers, saying “the rise of autonomous AI agents is revolutionizing global labor, reshaping how industries operate and scale.” The stock price of the company, which helps businesses manage their customers, jumped 11%. Marvell Technology leaped even more after delivering better results than expected, up 23.2%. CEO Matt Murphy said the semiconductor supplier is seeing strong demand from AI and gave a forecast for profit in the upcoming quarter that topped analysts’ expectations. All the optimistic talk helped Nvidia , the company whose chips are powering much of the move into AI, rally 3.5%. It was the strongest force pushing upward on the S&P 500 by far. They helped offset an 8.9% drop for Foot Locker, which reported profit and revenue that fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Mary Dillon said the company is taking a more cautious view, and it cut its forecasts for sales and profit this year. Dillon pointed to how keen customers are for discounts and how soft demand has been outside of Thanksgiving week and other key selling periods. Retailers overall have offered mixed signals about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain. Their spending has been one of the main reasons the U.S. economy has avoided a recession that earlier seemed inevitable after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates to crush inflation. But shoppers are now contending with still-high prices and a slowing job market . This week’s highlight for Wall Street will be Friday’s jobs report from the U.S. government, which will show how many people employers hired and fired last month. A narrower report released Wednesday morning suggested employers in the private sector increased their payrolls by less last month than economists expected. Hiring in manufacturing was the weakest since the spring, according to Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. The report strengthened traders’ expectations that the Fed will cut its main interest rate again when it meets in two weeks. The Fed began easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high in September, hoping to offer more support for the job market. The central bank had appeared set to continue cutting rates into next year, but the election of Donald Trump has scrambled Wall Street’s expectations somewhat. Trump’s preference for higher tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , which could alter the Fed’s plans . Fed Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that the central bank can afford to cut rates cautiously because inflation has slowed from its peak two years ago and the economy remains sturdy. A separate report on Wednesday said health care, finance and other businesses in the U.S. services sector are continuing to grow, but not by as much as before and not by as much as economists expected. One respondent from the construction industry told the survey from the Institute for Supply Management that the Fed’s rate cuts haven't pulled down mortgage rates as much as hoped. Plus, “the unknown effect of tariffs clouds the future.” In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.18% from 4.23% late Tuesday. On Wall Street, Campbell’s sank 6.2% for one of the S&P 500’s sharper losses despite increasing its dividend and reporting a stronger profit than analysts expected. Its revenue fell short of Wall Street’s expectations, and the National Football League’s Washington Commanders hired Campbell’s CEO Mark Clouse as its team president. Gains for airline stocks helped offset that drop after JetBlue Airways said it saw stronger bookings for travel in November and December following the presidential election. It also said it’s benefiting from lower fuel prices, as well as lower costs due to improved on-time performance. JetBlue jumped 8.3%, while Southwest Airlines climbed 3.5%. All told, the S&P 500 rose 36.61 points to 6,086.49. The Dow climbed 308.51 to 45,014.04, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 254.21 to 19,735.12. In stock markets abroad, South Korea’s Kospi sank 1.4% following a night full of drama in Seoul. President Yoon Suk Yeol was facing possible impeachment after he suddenly declared martial law on Tuesday night, prompting troops to surround the parliament. He revoked the martial law declaration six hours later. In the crypto market , bitcoin climbed near $99,000 after Trump said he would nominate Paul Atkins , a cryptocurrency advocate, to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Student Loan: Borno Govt Establishes Desk Officer For NELFUNDMohamed Salah fired Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, leading the Reds to a hard-fought 3-2 victory over struggling Southampton on Sunday. The Egyptian star’s second-half double rescued Liverpool after they survived a scare at St Mary’s Stadium. Liverpool initially took the lead through Dominik Szoboszlai’s second goal of the season, but Southampton’s Adam Armstrong equalized just before halftime. After the break, bottom-of-the-table Southampton shocked the visitors as Mateus Fernandes put them ahead, setting up a tense finish. Salah restored parity with a composed strike and later converted a crucial penalty, bringing his tally to 12 goals in all competitions this season, including six in his last five league outings. His heroics ensured Liverpool capitalized on Manchester City’s recent stumble—a heavy 4-0 loss to Tottenham—extending their lead at the top of the table. Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have been in remarkable form, winning 16 of their first 18 games across all competitions. The former Feyenoord boss has quickly turned the Reds into title favorites in his debut season, leading Liverpool’s pursuit of their first Premier League title since 2020. Despite a below-par performance on the south coast, Liverpool’s gritty win sets the stage for a crucial week. The Reds will face Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, followed by a highly-anticipated league clash against Manchester City at Anfield next weekend. Liverpool’s impressive start—10 wins from their first 12 league matches—bodes well for their title chances, with history favouring teams that reach this mark. On a blustery afternoon at St. Mary’s, Liverpool initially looked poised to dominate. Salah tested Southampton keeper Alex McCarthy early with a curling shot and went close twice more, volleying over from an Andrew Robertson cross and forcing another full-stretch save. Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, and Salah kept the pressure on, but McCarthy’s heroics kept Southampton in the game. However, Salah’s quality shone through in the end, as his crucial interventions ensured Liverpool’s winning run continued, maintaining their momentum at a pivotal point in the season.

Galaxy assessing how to replace Riqui Puig for MLS Cup finalTraditionally, the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented by Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop has overtime thrillers or walk-off plays for the most part. In the first edition of the Arizona Bowl with hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg as the title sponsor, the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks clobbered the Colorado State Rams 43-17 on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. It's the largest margin of victory in Arizona Bowl history, passing Air Force's 24-point win over South Alabama in 2016. Miami (9-5) head coach Chuck Martin said the Redhawks' win on Saturday "was a great team effort." "Our kids deserve to go out in dominant fashion like they did," said Martin. "It was a fun game to be a part of." After the game, Snoop Dogg drove out on the field at Arizona Stadium in a 1964 Chevy Impala with the Arizona Bowl trophy. Each coach and player received a gold "Death Row Records" chain. Snoop Dogg puts a pendant on Miami (OH) head coach Chuck Martin at the ceremony following the RedHawks’ 43-17 win over Colorado State in the Arizona Bowl, Tucson, Ariz., December 28, 2024. "If I could've befriended Snoop and be a part of something that he does, this could be my last game," Martin joked. "Just fade off into the sunset with Snoop, that was my goal, but I don't think I got that done. Maybe if I come back and win another one, we can partner up." Even though the Rams (8-5) outgained Miami, CSU committed four turnovers that resulted in 19 points for Miami. Additionally, Miami scored on seven of its eight trips to the red zone, while Colorado State scored twice in the red zone. CSU also had more plays (75) and first downs (19) than Miami. "There's going to be a lot of analyzing with this game, but it's pretty simple: we turned the ball over and had too many penalties," said Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell. "You can't when you do that. ... The most important stats that matter are turnovers. ... Just disappointed in how we played tonight. It wasn't typical of how we played this year particularly taking care of the football; that had a lot to do with the outcome." After three field goals by Miami kicker Dom Dzioban, the Redhawks took a 9-3 lead over Colorado State at halftime. Miami scored touchdowns on its first three drives to begin the second half, which included a pair of running touchdowns by backup running back Kevin Davis, who ended the game with nine carries for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Davis, who replaced injured starter Keyon Mozee, had a 97-yard touchdown run, which set an Arizona Bowl record for longest touchdown. Davis' final touchdown put Miami ahead 29-3. Davis also had an 81-yard kickoff return in the second half and received Arizona Bowl MVP honors. "I wouldn't be able to do those things without the guys around me," Davis said. "My performance is a testimony to the guys around me and what they do to succeed for all of us." Snoop Dogg presented Davis with a gold chain and the Arizona Bowl trophy during the postgame celebration. The two shared a private conversation on stage, but "that's between me and Snoop," Davis said with a smirk.

Winning the Arizona Bowl, the first bowl victory for Miami since the 2021 Frisco Bowl, "was really important to all of the seniors," Martin said. "I know every game is important to these guys, but I know today was very satisfying for all of those seniors that had another opportunity to play in 2024 and end 2024 the way our team should have. ... You get to my age and all you got is memories and when you think back, these moments ... will mean a lot to them when they get to my age. ... Seeing these guys go out the way they went out, that's a pretty awesome experience." Extra points: Contact Justin Spears, the Star's Arizona football beat reporter, at jspears@tucson.com .

Sports ReporterWASHINGTON — As she checked into a recent flight to Mexico for vacation, Teja Smith chuckled at the idea of joining another Women’s March on Washington . As a Black woman, she just couldn’t see herself helping to replicate the largest act of resistance against then-President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2017. Even in an election this year where Trump questioned his opponent’s race , held rallies featuring racist insults and falsely claimed Black migrants in Ohio were eating residents’ pets , he didn't just win a second term. He became the first Republican in two decades to clinch the popular vote, although by a small margin. “It’s like the people have spoken and this is what America looks like,” said Smith, the Los Angeles-based founder of the advocacy social media agency, Get Social. “And there’s not too much more fighting that you’re going to be able to do without losing your own sanity.” After Trump was declared the winner over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris , many politically engaged Black women said they were so dismayed by the outcome that they were reassessing — but not completely abandoning — their enthusiasm for electoral politics and movement organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote in their communities. They had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Harris, who would have been the first woman of Black and South Asian descent to win the presidency. Harris' loss spurred a wave of Black women across social media resolving to prioritize themselves, before giving so much to a country that over and over has shown its indifference to their concerns. AP VoteCast , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy in the United States was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, with Trump set to return to office in two months, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. “America is going to have to save herself,” said LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of the national voting rights group Black Voters Matter. She compared Black women’s presence in social justice movements as “core strategists and core organizers” to the North Star, known as the most consistent and dependable star in the galaxy because of its seemingly fixed position in the sky. People can rely on Black women to lead change, Brown said, but the next four years will look different. “That’s not a herculean task that’s for us. We don’t want that title. ... I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me,” she said. AP VoteCast paints a clear picture of Black women's concerns. Black female voters were most likely to say that democracy was the single most important factor for their vote, compared to other motivators such as high prices or abortion. More than 7 in 10 Black female voters said they were “very concerned” that electing Trump would lead the nation toward authoritarianism, while only about 2 in 10 said this about Harris. About 9 in 10 Black female voters supported Harris in 2024, according to AP VoteCast, similar to the share that backed Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. Trump received support from more than half of white voters, who made up the vast majority of his coalition in both years. Like voters overall, Black women were most likely to say the economy and jobs were the most important issues facing the country, with about one-third saying that. But they were more likely than many other groups to say that abortion and racism were the top issues, and much less likely than other groups to say immigration was the top issue. Despite those concerns, which were well-voiced by Black women throughout the campaign, increased support from young men of color and white women helped expand Trump’s lead and secured his victory. Politically engaged Black women said they don’t plan to continue positioning themselves in the vertebrae of the “backbone” of America’s democracy. The growing movement prompting Black women to withdraw is a shift from history, where they are often present and at the forefront of political and social change. One of the earliest examples is the women’s suffrage movement that led to ratification in 1920 of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution , which gave women the right to vote. Black women, however, were prevented from voting for decades afterward because of Jim Crow-era literacy tests, poll taxes and laws that blocked the grandchildren of slaves from voting. Most Black women couldn’t vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Black women were among the organizers and counted among the marchers brutalized on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama, during the historic march in 1965 from Selma to Montgomery that preceded federal legislation. Decades later, Black women were prominent organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement in response to the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police and vigilantes. In his 2024 campaign, Trump called for leveraging federal money to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs in government programs and discussions of race, gender or sexual orientation in schools. His rhetoric on immigration, including false claims that Black Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating cats and dogs, drove support for his plan to deport millions of people . Tenita Taylor, a Black resident of Atlanta who supported Trump this year, said she was initially excited about Harris’ candidacy. But after thinking about how high her grocery bills have been, she feels that voting for Trump in hopes of finally getting lower prices was a form of self-prioritization. “People say, ‘Well, that’s selfish, it was gonna be better for the greater good,''' she said. “I’m a mother of five kids. ... The things that (Democrats) do either affect the rich or the poor.” Some of Trump’s plans affect people in Olivia Gordon’s immediate community, which is why she struggled to get behind the “Black women rest” wave. Gordon, a New York-based lawyer who supported the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s presidential nominee, Claudia de la Cruz, worries about who may be left behind if the 92% of Black women voters who backed Harris simply stopped advocating. “We’re talking millions of Black women here. If millions of Black women take a step back, it absolutely leaves holes, but for other Black women,” she said. “I think we sometimes are in the bubble of if it’s not in your immediate circle, maybe it doesn’t apply to you. And I truly implore people to understand that it does.” Nicole Lewis, an Alabama-based therapist who specializes in treating Black women’s stress, said she’s aware that Black women withdrawing from social impact movements could have a fallout. But she also hopes that it forces a reckoning for the nation to understand the consequences of not standing in solidarity with Black women. “It could impact things negatively because there isn’t that voice from the most empathetic group,” she said. “I also think it’s going to give other groups an opportunity to step up. ... My hope is that they do show up for themselves and everyone else.” Brown said a reckoning might be exactly what the country needs, but it’s a reckoning for everyone else. Black women, she said, did their job when they supported Harris in droves in hopes they could thwart the massive changes expected under Trump. “This ain’t our reckoning,” she said. “I don’t feel no guilt.” ____ AP polling editor Amelia Thomson DeVeaux and Associated Press writer Linley Sanders in Washington contributed to this report.

12.30 Nickel Morning Meeting Summary Refined Nickel: Last week, nickel prices fluctuated, with spot prices ranging from 123,000 to 130,000 yuan/mt and SHFE nickel prices ranging from 122,000 to 129,000 yuan/mt. During the week, nickel prices first rose and then fell, influenced by increased downstream willingness for low-price stockpiling and macroeconomic factors. However, the overall demand from downstream sectors such as stainless steel, batteries, and alloys did not show fundamental improvement, making it difficult to support the upward trend in nickel prices. Spot Market: From Monday to Wednesday, as nickel prices rose and the previous week's low-price stockpiling by downstream sectors ended, spot market transactions cooled, and premiums for domestic refined nickel remained stable at high levels. Starting Thursday, with significant improvement in the tight supply of domestic Jinchuan-brand refined nickel in the spot market, premiums for domestic refined nickel began to decline rapidly. It is expected that premiums for domestic refined nickel are unlikely to return to high levels before the year-end. Nickel Sulphate: Last week, the SMM battery-grade nickel sulphate index price was 26,379 yuan/mt, with battery-grade nickel sulphate quoted between 26,000 and 26,920 yuan/mt, and the average price rose slightly by 10 yuan/mt WoW. According to the current market situation, the overall fundamental structure has not changed significantly compared to last month. In terms of supply, nickel salt smelters' inventory levels decreased slightly WoW, and spot supply in the circulation market remained relatively tight. Due to losses and the approaching year-end holiday, nickel salt smelters maintained firm quoting sentiment, with coefficients stable at last week's levels. In terms of demand, this week marked a traditional procurement period for nickel salts, with some precursor plants making inquiries. However, overall market activity remained low. Given the firm pricing stance of nickel salt smelters, most precursor plants continued to adopt a wait-and-see approach. In the short term, supply and demand are expected to remain weak on both sides, with insufficient driving forces for nickel sulphate prices to move up or down. Nickel sulphate prices are likely to remain stable. Nickel Pig Iron (NPI): Last week, the SMM 8-12% high-grade NPI average price was 940.1 yuan/mtu (ex-factory, tax included), down 3.3 yuan/mtu WoW, while the Indonesian NPI FOB index decreased by $0.6/mtu WoW. This week, high-grade NPI prices continued to weaken. Supply side, domestically, as finished product prices continued to decline, smelters faced increased losses, and production remained stable overall. In Indonesia, smelters maintained sufficient raw material stockpiles and, with partial profitability, production saw a slight increase. Demand side, stainless steel spot prices stabilized temporarily, steel mills saw a recovery in orders, and speculative demand increased briefly. Steel mills maintained raw material procurement needs, but with an increased proportion of long-term contracts and spot orders based on average prices, short-term high-grade NPI demand is expected to recover. Supported by costs, prices are likely to remain stable. Stainless Steel: Last week, stainless steel spot prices fluctuated downward, with cold-rolled prices continuing to decline slightly compared to the previous week. As of December 27, SMM Wuxi region 304 cold-rolled coil prices were quoted at 12,950-13,200 yuan/mt, and hot-rolled prices were at 12,400-12,500 yuan/mt. This week, market sentiment for stainless steel remained sluggish. Affected by the year-end off-season, downstream purchasing willingness was low, and weak transactions combined with a continuous decline in futures prices failed to support spot prices. Although a certain steel mill in South China aimed for a strong start to the new year with slight production increases, steel mills in East China continued production cuts. Social inventory declined overall during the week, with arrivals slightly decreasing WoW. Cold-rolled inventory mainly consisted of expiring warehouse warrants and year-end destocking of 300-series, while hot-rolled inventory, except for the 400-series, also saw slight reductions. Starting Monday, a certain North China stainless steel mill lowered guidance prices for 300-series resources, with 304 cold-rolled and 321 hot-rolled prices both reduced by 100 yuan/mt. Currently, the market is in a bottoming phase. With in-transit resource volumes remaining low and stable, sales pressure will continue to increase. Stainless steel prices in January are expected to remain low and stable.

Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani suffered a setback on Thursday after he was indicted for fraud by US prosecutors. Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and others were charged for their alleged roles in a USD 265 million scheme to bribe Indian officials to secure power-supply deals. Later, there were reports that Kenya cancelled two major deals worth USD 2.5 billion with the Adani Group after the US indictment on bribery charges. However, the billionaire-led group has now clarified the reports, saying it had not entered into any binding agreement to operate Kenya's main airport. On the pact it had signed last month to build and operate key electricity transmission lines in Kenya for 30 years, the group said the project did not fall within the ambit of Sebi's disclosure regulations, thereby not warranting any disclosure on its cancellation. The group was responding to notices sent by stock exchanges to confirm reports of Kenyan President William Ruto ordering the cancellation of a procurement process that had been expected to award control of the country's main airport after the conglomerate's founder was indicted in the US. The group's flagship firm, Adani Enterprises Ltd, which houses its airport business, in a filing said it had in August this year incorporated a step-down subsidiary in Kenya to upgrade, modernise, and manage airports. READ | Gautam Adani's wealth dropped by Rs 88726 crore after billionaire charged with bribery in US, net worth is... "While the company was in discussion with the relevant authority for the said project, till date neither the company nor its subsidiaries (i) have been awarded any airport project in Kenya, or (ii) entered into any binding or definitive agreement in connection with any airport in Kenya," the firm said. It did not confirm or deny reports of Kenya cancelling the airport deal. Under the proposed airport deal worth nearly USD 2 billion, the conglomerate was to add a second runway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and upgrade the passenger terminal. It was also to operate it on a 30-year lease. Kenya's President also stated that he was cancelling a separate 30-year, USD 736-million public-private partnership that an Adani Group firm signed with the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum last month to construct power transmission lines.
