TORONTO — Canada's main stock index gained more than 350 points Thursday in a broad rally led by energy and technology stocks, while U.S. markets also rose, led by a one-per-cent gain on the Dow. The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 354.22 points at 25,390.68. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 461.88 points at 43,870.35. The S&P 500 index was up 31.60 points at 5,948.71, while the Nasdaq composite was up 6.28 points at 18,972.42. The Nasdaq lagged an otherwise decent day for Wall St., rising just 0.03 per cent as it was dragged down by Google parent Alphabet and some of its tech giant peers. The tech company’s stock fell 4.6 per cent after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break it up by forcing a sale of the Chrome web browser. Amazon shares traded down 2.2 per cent while Meta and Apple both moved lower as well. After a substantial run for major tech stocks this year, that kind of news “shakes people a bit,” said John Zechner, chairman and lead equity manager at J. Zechner Associates. Meanwhile, semiconductor giant Nvidia saw its stock tick up modestly by 0.5 per cent after it reported earnings Wednesday evening. The company yet again beat expectations for profit and revenue, and gave a better revenue forecast for the current quarter than expected. But expectations for Nvidia have been so high amid the optimism over artificial intelligence that even beating forecasts wasn’t enough to send its stock flying the way it has in previous quarters, said Zechner. Nvidia essentially caps earnings season in the U.S., with companies largely beating expectations, said Zechner — though those expectations weren’t exactly lofty for companies outside the tech and AI sphere, he added. The Dow led major U.S. markets as the post-election hopes for economic growth continued to fuel a broadening of market strength, said Zechner. There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, said Zechner, and there’s no guarantee he will do what he’s promised. “There’s a lot of unknowns, but for now the markets seem to be assuming that whatever comes of this, the U.S. will continue to lead global growth,” he said. However, some of Trump’s promises — chief among them widespread tariffs on imports — have sparked bets that inflation may rear its head again. The market has pared back its expectations for interest rate cuts as a result, said Zechner. “Nobody’s talking about a half-point cut, that’s for sure,” he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.63 cents US compared with 71.46 cents US on Wednesday. The January crude oil contract was up US$1.35 at US$70.10 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up nine cents at US$3.48 per mmBTU. The December gold contract was up US$23.20 at US$2,674.90 an ounce and the December copper contract was down three cents at US$4.13 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 21, 2024.

The Lancers (5-3) capped their time at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational in Palm Springs, Calif., with an 86-81 victory over the Bulldogs on Wednesday. That followed a last-second, 79-77 loss to SMU the day before. Dominique Daniels Jr. played 45 minutes against Fresno State and led California Baptist with 29 points. He paces the Lancers with 20.3 points per game, while Kendal Coleman averages 15.1 points and is shooting 59.7 percent form the floor. However, coach Rick Croy's team has struggled from 3-point range, shooting just 30.7 percent entering its first true road game this season. UCF (5-2) is coming off of an 84-76 win over Milwaukee last Wednesday despite being outrebounded 41-31. The Knights were helped by the heroics of senior guard Darius Johnson, who had 28 points as he shot a career-best 8-for-10 from beyond the arc. "Darius was terrific," UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said. "He's so comfortable in his leadership role now, he's leading our team and running the show, and our new players are becoming more comfortable playing with him. He's been a rock for us this season, and you love to see it out of a senior point guard." "I had an extraordinary night shooting the ball from three," Johnson said. "I rarely think that would happen again, but it's great. I know my teammates are going to have nights like that as well." Johnson is among the nation's leaders in minutes per game (36.6) and is shooting a team-high 50 percent from 3-point range (23 of 46). He, along with his fellow guard Jordan Ivy-Curry, are each averaging 16.9 points to lead UCF. The Knights opened the season with an impressive win over Texas A&M, now No. 20 in the AP poll, but lost both games at last weekend's Greenbrier Tip-Off, including a triple-overtime defeat against LSU on Sunday. UCF has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2018-19. This will be the first meeting between the Knights and the Lancers, who will each have time off afterwards. UCF won't play until Dec. 8 against Tarleton State, while California Baptist is idle until its Dec. 11 game at San Diego State. --Field Level Media

U.S. Treasury investors were given a belated Christmas present in higher yields during the thin Boxing Day trading session. The 10-year Treasury yield rose above 4.64 percent on Dec. 26, the highest since May. The 20- and 30-year yields also inched higher to 4.87 percent and 4.78 percent, respectively. Yields on short- and medium-term U.S. government bonds were also in a sea of green ink. “There wasn’t any reason for the rise other than momentum combined with slow trading, but clearly the path of least resistance for Treasury yields is higher,” Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research, said in a note emailed to The Epoch Times. Over the past few months, the upward trend in Treasury yields has led to various theories. Since the long-awaited Federal Reserve pivot on monetary policy in September, Treasury yields have rocketed, with the benchmark 10-year rising to 1 percent. After more than two years of inflation-fighting quantitative tightening—a blend of higher interest rates and balance sheet reduction—officials launched a new easing cycle with a jumbo half-point reduction to the 23-year high benchmark federal funds rate. They also indicated four rate cuts in 2025. The financial markets might have signaled pessimism amid the divergence between rate cuts and rising Treasury yields—and they were correct. The hawkish shift, says Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, was fueled by higher inflation projections. All three major inflation measures—the consumer price index (CPI), the producer price index (PPI), and the central bank’s preferred personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index—have risen since the Fed’s September rate cut. Various forecasts expect they will tick up again next month. The Fed’s quarterly survey highlighted that officials believe inflation will finish at 2.5 percent next year. One economist told The Epoch Times that inflation could end 2025 at a higher level. Connor Lokar, senior forecaster at ITR Economics, projects that the annual inflation rate will be 3.2 percent by the end of 2025. Government spending, federal deficits, and money-supply expansion will drive this increase, he said. “So essentially higher inflation outcomes for next year relative to where we’re going to finish this year [are] somewhere below 3 percent and then moving higher than that as we move through 2026,” Lokar stated in an interview. As a result, the Fed could take the stairs down to normalization rather than hopping on the elevator, says Joe Tigay, portfolio manager at Catalyst Insights. “If inflation persists at manageable levels, the Fed will likely allow interest rates to normalize gradually,” Tigay said in a note emailed to The Epoch Times. “This environment sets the stage for a steepening yield curve, which historically signals rising volatility.” That said, the Fed chief dismissed assertions that markets are fighting against the central bank’s actions and forecasts, stating that rates can be affected by more than just monetary policy. Essaye agrees, writing that several contributors to the acceleration in yields could include budget deficit concerns, pro-growth expectations, and political anxiety over the next four years. Looking ahead, the U.S. bond market “is now one ‘hot’ economic report away from testing the highs for 2024,” he said. “If those highs are tested and broken, expect the headwind from higher yields on stocks to increase (which means more stock volatility),” Essaye said. Wall Street digested pre-Christmas employment data on Thursday. Continuing jobless claims—a gauge of unemployed individuals receiving unemployment benefits—jumped by 46,000 to a three-year high of 1.91 million. The four-week jobless claims average, which removes week-to-week volatility, increased to 226,500. The next major economic report will be the December jobs report on Jan. 10, 2025. Early estimates suggest that the U.S. economy created 200,000 new jobs and that the unemployment rate rose to 4.3 percent. The November non-farm payrolls report confirmed 227,000 new positions and a 4.2 percent jobless rate.In conclusion, the partnership between Amazon and Intuit to offer QuickBooks Online to third-party sellers exemplifies a commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive marketplace.

Homewood-Flossmoor looks for repeat as Class 4A state champs, but Rich Township, Mount Carmel and Marist are right behind. 1. Homewood-Flossmoor (33-4) Defending Class 4A state champions have a new look, but the talent is there for another big run. A trio of senior guards leads the way as Jayden Tyler (Wofford) returns and is joined by Thornwood transfer Arden Eaves (Lewis) and Lincoln-Way East transfer Brent Taylor . Look out for talented freshman guard Darrius Hawkins Jr. 2. Rich Township (23-8) Raptors return junior guards Jamson Coulter and Jayden Williams and add a superstar in senior forward Al Brooks Jr. , a transfer from Hansberry and a high-major recruit. His twin brother, Ikee , will add to the guard depth for a team looking to make major noise in March. 3. Mount Carmel (32-6) The 2023 Class 3A runners-up must replace superstar Angelo Ciaravino , who is at Northwestern. But senior guard Grant Best (Air Force) is ready to lead the way, while junior Noah Mister and senior Cameron Thomas add to a talented, deep backcourt. Watch out for freshman guard Marshaun Thornton . 4. Marist (29-5) Football injuries have sidelined senior forward Achilles Anderson for the season and star junior forward Stephen Brown for likely at least a month. When Brown returns, look out. He will join junior guards Adoni Vassilakis and TJ Tate and senior forward Marquis Vance . Junior forward Karson Thomas from Lincoln-Way East and junior guard Rokas Zilys from Vermont Academy are big additions via transfer. 5. St. Laurence (20-12) New coach Roshawn Russell has an intriguing mix of talent, with senior guards Zerrick Johnson and Bradley Stratton coming off big seasons. They’re joined by two returning standouts as senior guard EJ Mosley (Purdue Fort Wayne) and senior forward Jacob Rice have transferred back after spending last season elsewhere. 6. Bloom (19-10) Senior guards Elijah Lovemore and Payton Edwards form a dynamic duo. Senior guard/forward Adam Page , a transfer from Hillcrest, is a big addition.

Brother Rice (31-4) Senior guard Marcos Gonzales (Citadel) is ready for even more of a starring role, while senior guard Jack Weigus — a transfer from Hinsdale South — is a prolific outside shooter. Look for senior forward Caden Workman to step up. 8. Lemont (19-12) Guard Gabriel Sularski , who transferred from Benet, is rated as the top junior in Illinois by 247 Sports. He joins an experienced group led by senior forwards Alanas Castillo , Shea Glotzbach and Matas Gaidukevicius . 9. Oak Lawn (22-9) Senior guard Donte Montgomery , who averaged over 20 points last season, is poised to be one of the area’s top players. Junior guard Jack Dempsey is a strong outside shooter, while senior guard Ali Farhan looks to step up. 10. Hillcrest (17-14) With four starters back, don’t expect the Hawks to stay down for long. Senior guard Jovi Ratliff is a scorer and Hillcrest will have the inside advantage against most teams with a pair of 6-foot-7 forwards in senior Jaylen Ingram and junior Max Carmicle .

It is important for fathers to be mindful of their actions and motivations, and to strive for a balance between guidance and autonomy. By fostering a relationship based on trust, respect, and open communication, fathers can support their daughters through the challenges of adolescence and empower them to navigate their social interactions with confidence and resilience. Ultimately, fatherly love should be a guiding force that empowers daughters to grow into independent, capable, and confident individuals.
