The five-part series will debut globally on December 10, following elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. A trailer for the series titled Polo, executive produced by Harry and Meghan, was released on Thursday, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the “fast-paced and glamorous world of polo”. In a statement, Harry said: “This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour. “We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.” It has been produced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions, having previously released three documentaries with Netflix as part of a multimillion-pound deal with the streaming giant. Heart Of Invictus, which aired last August, followed a group of service members on their road to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition set up by Harry in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. Netflix also released the documentary series Live To Lead and the controversial six-part Harry & Meghan documentary in December 2022. Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties.

The market is entering the final two trading days of 2024, and stocks are set to post another strong year of gains. The Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC ) once again led the charge in 2024, rising more than 30% thus far while the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC ) has risen over 25%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI ) is up a more modest 14%. A holiday-shortened trading week with limited news on the docket is expected to greet investors in the final trading week of the year. Markets will be closed for New Year's Day on Wednesday, and no major companies are slated to report quarterly results. In economic data, updates on housing prices and sales, as well as a a look at activity in the manufacturing sector, are expected to highlight a subdued week of releases. Markets are three days into the highly anticipated "Santa Claus" rally , which is statistically one of the most consistent seven-day positive stretches of the year for the S&P 500 . But stocks have not been in the holiday spirit. All three major averages sold off Friday, with the Nasdaq falling nearly 1.5%. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has risen 1.3% during the seven trading days beginning Dec. 24, well above the typical seven-day average of 0.3%, according to LPL Financial chief technical strategist Adam Turnquist. History has shown that if Santa does come and the S&P 500 posts a positive return during the time period, then January is typically a positive month for the benchmark index and the rest of the year averages a 10.4% return. When the S&P 500 is negative during that time frame, January usually doesn't end in the green, and the return for the upcoming full year averages just 5%, per Turnquist. Three days into this year's Santa Claus period, which will close on Friday, Jan. 3, the S&P 500 is down less than 0.1% While history may be flashing a warning sign, it's notable that last year the Santa Claus rally didn't materialize. January started poorly too. Still, the S&P 500 is still set to end the year up more than 20%. As markets have digested the Federal Reserve's recent message that interest rates may remain higher for longer than investors had hoped, bond yields have been soaring. The 10-year Treasury yield ( ^TNX ) is up more than 40 basis points in December alone. Hovering right above 4.6%, the 10-year is at its highest level in about seven months and in the territory where equity strategists believe higher rates could begin to weigh on stock performance. "I think 4.5% or higher on the 10-year gets problematic for the markets more broadly," Piper Sandler chief investment strategist Michael Kantrowitz said in a recent video sent to clients. Kantrowitz further clarified in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Market Domination that any incoming economic data that sends rates lower could be a welcome sign for stocks. "In the last couple of years, really markets have only gone down because of rising interest rate or inflation fears," Kantrowitz said on Dec. 18. "And I think that's the new normal that going forward. Market corrections are going to come from higher rates, not slower growth or higher unemployment." Despite the recent drawdown in markets since the Fed meeting on Dec. 18, the setup heading into 2025 "has really not changed," Citi US equity strategist Scott Chronert wrote in a note to clients on Friday. Stock valuations remain high. Earnings are expected to grow about 15% year over year for the S&P 500, per FactSet data, creating a "high bar" to impress investors. US economic growth is largely expected to remain resilient. "In aggregate, investors appear bulled up on US equities," Chronert wrote. This has pushed market sentiment, as measured by Citi's Levkovich Index, increasingly higher. The Levkovich Index, which takes into account investors' short positions and leverage, among other factors, to determine market sentiment, currently sits at a reading of 0.62, above the euphoria line of 0.38, where the likelihood of positive forward returns is typically lower as the market appears stretched. For now, this isn't shaking Chronert's overall confidence in the US equity market. He noted that the "fundamentals" that have driven the market rally remain intact. But strategists argue that stretched sentiment and valuations do put the market rally on thinner ice should a catalyst that challenges the bull thesis for 2025 emerge. "Overall, this setup, plus the lack of real correction in some time, does leave the market more susceptible to increasing bouts of volatility," Chronert wrote. "If the fundamental story holds, we would be buyers of first half pullbacks in the S&P 500."

Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp director sells $307,040 in stockKaolack — La Société nationale de commercialisation des oléagineux du Sénégal (SONACOS) compte collecter, dans la région de Kaolack (centre), entre 100 mille 120 mille tonnes de graines d'arachide durant la campagne de commercialisation 2024-2025, qui a démarré jeudi dernier sur l'étendue du territoire national, a indiqué, vendredi, son directeur général, El Hadji Ndane Diagne. "Pour Kaolack seulement, nous espérons collecter entre 100 et 120 mille tonnes de graines d'arachide. Notre objectif global est de 300 mille tonnes et ça découle d'un consensus que nous avons eu avec les services du ministère de l'Agriculture, de la Souveraineté alimentaire et de l'Elevage. Nous sommes assez bien confiants de ce que nous avons vu jusqu'à présent", a-t-il souligné. Le budget de la SONACOS pour cette campagne de commercialisation des graines d'arachide couvrira totalement, aussi bien l'achat des graines que la transformation, a dit M. Diagne lors d'une visite dans les usines de la SONACOS, à Lyndiane, où il a remis respectivement à deux opérateurs un chèque d'un montant de plus de 26 millions de francs CFA et un autre chèque de plus de 8 millions de francs CFA. Ce geste démontre l'excellence opérationnelle" des unités de la SONACOS par la rapidité des opérations de déchargement et de paiement, souligne le directeur général, assurant que l'argent est disponible pour les paiements. Deux jours après le démarrage officiel de la campagne de commercialisation arachidière et de collecte pour la SONACOS, au point de collecte de Lyndiane, plusieurs camions sont déjà stationnés pour décharger des graines d'arachide. "C'est déjà une grande satisfaction au niveau de Kaolack, la cadence va crescendo et nous espérons que ça va passer, très bientôt, à 100 voire 200 camions par jour. Nous pensons pouvoir traiter à Lyndiane jusqu'à 1800 tonnes de graines d'arachide par jour", a estimé M. Diagne. "Sur l'étendue du territoire national, nous sommes satisfaits de ce que nous avons vu", a-t-il salué. "Pour la première, nous avons reçu un stock assez conséquent sur tous les sites que nous avons visités, notamment à Louga, Diourbel et aujourd'hui, à Kaolack. Et demain nous serons à Ziguinchor", a-t-il dit. Le DG de la SONACOS invite les producteurs à "ne pas aller brader leurs stocks dans les marchés hebdomadaires ». "La SONACOS défend la cause des producteurs et des opérateurs. Au moins, avec les opérateurs, le prix d'achat des graines, qui est homologué, les producteurs peuvent avoir plus que ça, parce que c'est un prix plancher", a-t-il soutenu. Kaolack étant le "coeur du bassin arachidier", le DG de la SONACOS, tenant compte du dynamisme agricole de la zone centre du Sénégal, notamment de la filière arachide, se dit "assez satisfait" de ce qu'il a constaté sur place. "Nous avons des objectifs opérationnels de 48 heures pour décharger et maximum 48 heures pour les paiements. Donc, nous sommes dans cette dynamique et nous comptons la garder jusqu'à la fin de la campagne de commercialisation", a-t-il indiqué. Pour le démarrage effectif des activités au niveau de l'usine de Lyndiane qui, jusqu'à présent, ne tourne pas à plein régime, El Hadji Ndane Diagne signale que les travaux de mise à niveau ont commencé. "Nous comptons démarrer dans une semaine ou dix jours. C'est une occasion pour nous d'appeler tous les habitants des localités environnantes à venir chercher du travail dans nos usines, parce que l'un des rôles de la SONACOS, c'est la création d'emplois et nous sommes dans cette lancée", a-t-il insisté. M. Diagne a également appelé tous les opérateurs de la région de Kaolack et des localités environnantes à apporter leurs graines d'arachide dans ses usines, car la SONACOS est là pour continuer à collaborer avec eux. "L'Etat a donné un prix assez compétitif et nous aussi [la SONACOS], dans les thèmes que nous avons discutés la semaine dernière avec les opérateurs, nous leur avons accordé des faveurs qui n'ont jamais été accordées par la SONACOS aux opérateurs auparavant. Tout ça pour faciliter la collaboration et le partenariat et pour faire du gagnant-gagnant avec eux", a-t-il fait valoir. Cette année, le prix d'achat des graines d'arachide est fixé à 305 francs CFA. Lire l'article original sur APS .Westshore Terminals Investment Co.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Sunday that the U.S. government believes missing American journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared 12 years ago near the Syrian capital, is alive and that Washington is committed to bringing him home after Bashar Assad’s ouster from power in Damascus. “We think we can get him back,” Biden told reporters at the White House, while acknowledging that “we have no direct evidence” of his status. “Assad should be held accountable.” Biden said officials must still identify exactly where Tice is after his disappearance in August 2012 at a checkpoint in a contested area west of Damascus. “We’ve remained committed to returning him to his family,” he said. Tice, who is from Houston and whose work had been published by The Washington Post, McClatchy newspapers and other outlets. A video released weeks after Tice went missing showed him blindfolded and held by armed men and saying, “Oh, Jesus.” He has not been heard from since. Syria has publicly denied that it was holding him. The United States has no new evidence that Tice is alive, but continues to operate under the assumption he is alive, according to a U.S. official. The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. will continue to work to identify where he is and to try to bring him home. His mother, Debra, said at a news conference Friday in Washington that the family had information from a “significant source,” whom she did not identify, establishing that her son was alive. “He is being cared for and he is well — we do know that,” she said. The Tice family met this past week with officials at the State Department and the White House. “To everyone in Syria that hears this, please remind people that we’re waiting for Austin,” Debra Tice said in comments that hostage advocacy groups spread on social media Sunday. “We know that when he comes out, he’s going to be fairly dazed & he’s going to need lots of care & direction. Direct him to his family please!” Advertisement

Boswell got his first triple-double with a pass that set up Keaton Kutcher’s 3-pointer with 1:47 left. It was the seventh triple-double in program history. Dre Gibbs-Lawhorn scored 16 points, Kasparas Jakucionis had 14, Will Riley had 13 and Morez Johnson Jr. had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Illini (9-3). Gabe Spinelli, son of first-year head coach Scott Spinelli, led the Cougars (0-15) with 20 points and Noble Crawford scored 15. The Illini led 60-24 at halftime and built their lead to as many as 58 points in the second half. This wasn’t much of a test for the Illini, who were facing a winless team that doesn’t have a player averaging in double figures and gives up 83 points per game. But it gave them a chance to shake off the rust from having a week off following their Braggin’ Rights win over Missouri on Dec. 21. It was another bad day for the Cougars, who were outrebounded 47-23, committed 15 turnovers and shot 37%. On a positive note, they were 4 for 4 at the free-throw line. A 14-point run over a 2 1/2-minute stretch early in the first half extended an 8-7 lead to 22-7 and propelled the Illini to the lopsided win. The Illini shoot a lot of 3s. They came into the day averaging 32 per game, No. 6 in the nation, and went 15 for 33. The Illini plays Thursday at No. 9 Oregon. The Cougars play Friday at Wagner.
