The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher Thursday after flipping between modest gains and losses several times in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up less than 0.1%. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are climbing Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 was pulling 0.7% higher, as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, after flipping between modest gains and losses several times in the morning. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 532 points, or 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.2%. Nvidia's rise of 1.4% was the strongest force pushing the S&P 500 upward after yet again beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations thanks to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia's revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” How Nvidia’s stock performs has tremendous impact because it’s quickly grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. Its meandering up and down through the day dragged the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.3% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 9.1% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 were also rising, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.9%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 5.5% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. Drops for other Big Tech stocks also weighed on the market, including a 2.4% slide for Amazon. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani, 62, in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of duping investors by concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before easing back to roughly $98,250, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin also got a boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission who has pushed for more protection for crypto investors, said he would step down in January . Bitcoin and related investments, of course, have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that's been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early gain of 14.6% for its stock on Thursday quickly disappear. It was most recently down 10.7%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In the bond market, Treasury yields edged higher following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday. One report said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected. ___ AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Yuri Kageyama contributed.

NoneGTU files cybercrime complaint against employee in CCC exam scandalORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — As much enjoyment as Micah Hyde was having coaching his son’s soccer team in sunny San Diego, the lure of resuming his playing career and one last opportunity to bring a championship to Buffalo was too much to pass up for the Bills veteran safety. And Hyde chose to return to wintry Buffalo on Wednesday without any guarantee he’ll play by signing to the practice squad. In doing so, the 33-year-old willingly accepted taking on an expanded leadership role as mentor and sideline coach. “Listen, I’m here to help. I left my ego in San Diego,” Hyde said. “The goal has always been to bring a championship back to Buffalo, and if I can help in any way, if I’m able to give T-Rapp or D-Ham or whoever’s out there a nugget to make a big play in a big game, I did my job,” he added, referring to Buffalo’s starting safety tandem of Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin . Hyde isn’t so much coming out of retirement after going unsigned once the final year of his contract expired in March. In rejecting interest from other teams, Hyde stuck to his vision in keeping the door open to resume playing but only in Buffalo, where he spent the final seven of his 11 NFL seasons. “Match made in heaven, baby,” he said. “Everyone’s saying, ‘Welcome back' It’s more like ‘Welcome home.’” For Buffalo (10-2), Hyde is a late-season addition who brings experience, stability, leadership and familiarity with the defensive scheme to the now five-time defending AFC East champions . “You're just excited because you know what type of energy he brings to the locker room, you know his personality,” edge rusher Von Miller said. “We just got better by adding Micah Hyde, whether that’s on the football field or off the football field. ... It’s all plus-plus in each and every category.” Coach Sean McDermott stressed that as much as he welcomes Hyde’s addition, it in no way reflects on Buffalo’s safety group. And yet, Hyde does provide insurance down the stretch in the event of an injury. “We’re in a good spot, very confident in the guys that have played there all season long and have both done a nice job,” McDermott said. “It’s about the team. It’s always about the team, and it’s never about one person. And in this case, Micah would not want that to be, in this case, about him.” The Bills never ruled out the possibility of Hyde’s return, by keeping his former locker stall vacant and not assigning his familiar No. 23 to another player. Hyde’s signing comes on the heels of Buffalo’s division-clinching 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers . The Bills, who travel to play the Rams (6-6) on Sunday, now have their sights set on chasing down Kansas City (11-1), a team they defeated last month, to win the AFC’s top seed entering the playoffs. McDermott’s bond with Hyde runs deep, going back to 2017. That’s when the then-first-year coach identified Hyde and safety Jordan Poyer to become Buffalo’s first key free agent signings. Hyde and Poyer signed hours apart and opened seven straight seasons as Buffalo's starting tandem. Hyde, who spent his first four seasons in Green Bay, earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2017 and 2021. Poyer, an All-Pro selection in ’21, is now with Miami after being released by Buffalo in March. Hyde missed a majority of the 2022 season with a severe neck injury. He started 14 games last season, though he missed three games because of injury. Hyde said he’s injury free and also lost weight in spending his time off working out regularly. The only thing certain, he said, is this will be his final NFL season, whenever and however it might end. “After the last game, that (retirement) paper’s going to be right here and it’s getting signed,” Hyde said. “You can guarantee that, for sure.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
One key challenge facing the adoption of cryptocurrencies is the lack of uniformity in regulatory approaches across different jurisdictions. As a global leader in financial services, the United States has a unique opportunity to shape the future of digital currencies by developing a coherent and forward-thinking regulatory roadmap. By working closely with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and regulatory bodies, the U.S. can establish a framework that balances innovation with consumer protection.From the first bus and tram on Wednesday, the new ticketing system will be up and running (assuming no last-minute glitches).

Or nearly complete. "There will be a small proportion of buses in the operational fleet which will not have the MyWay+ hardware installed ," Transport Canberra said. So getting on the free bus means you still need to pay if you then change to one with the right machinery. "If a customer does board one of the buses without MyWay+ technology installed, they will not be charged a fare for that particular trip. "If they then board another bus or light rail on their journey, they will be required to tap on and off as usual and will be charged a fare for the trip." Transport Canberra said it had decided not to stall the machinery on older buses "as they are scheduled for retirement and will by replaced by new, battery electric buses, with the MyWay+ hardware installed, in the coming months". So how does it all work? Under the new system, passengers can pay by touching on (and touching off at the end of the journey) with a credit or debit card, or with an app on a phone (but you have to register for this first and that can be complicated). The new MyWay+ system, which has been rolled out to Canberra's bus and light rail network. Picture by Elesa Kurtz You link your credit or debit card to the app and then the scanner on the bus or tram reads a QR code on your phone and the system deducts the fare from your account. If you use a credit or debit card, make sure you tap off and on through the day with the same card. The final option is to buy paper tickets or a card at around 30 stores and petrol stations across the ACT. The list is on the ACT government website . Paper tickets will also be available from ticket machines and online for printing at home. They are for daily use and have a QR code which the machine on the bus or tram reads and registers. If you are entitled to a concession and you tap on with a credit or debit card, you will still be charged full fare unless you have previously registered as entitled to a concession. This may mean that you will also need to set up an "ACT digital account". "Customers will still need to provide proof of concession if asked," Transport Canberra said. It advises: "Remember: tap on and tap off every time you travel you must use the same card or device to tap on and off each service make sure you have enough battery on your mobile device or smart watch so you can complete your journey make sure you complete your trip (tap off) even when you have reached your travel cap, you must still tap on and tap off for every trip to travel with a valid ticket. This helps provide valuable data to help us plan and improve services." The travel cap is: 40 paid trips in a calendar month. Once you reach the cap, every extra trip is free. All the same, you have to continue to tap on and off. The ACT government said that the information was useful to understand passenger movements and so improve it to meet the public need. The daily travel cap (after which further trips aren't charged for) is $9.60, and $5.87 on weekends and public holidays. The standard adult fare is $3.22 at peak periods and $2.35 between 9am and 4.30pm and after 6pm on weekdays, and all day weekends and public holidays. Work began to find a new ticketing system in 2017, to replace the MyWay system that was introduced in April 2011.

Coming off a loss in a game the Mavericks were expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Having soared to a lofty 132 points in the game before, Dallas' point total in this one was quite the letdown. The losing side was boosted by Kyrie Irving, who posted 39 points. The Mavericks are 14-3 when Irving posts 25 or more points, but 5-8 otherwise. The Mavericks struggled to work together and finished the game with only 15 assists. That's the fewest assists they've posted since back in June. Meanwhile, the Suns had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against the Nuggets by a score of 110-100 on Wednesday. The Suns' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kevin Durant, who scored 27 points along with six assists and two steals. Dallas' loss dropped their record down to 19-11. As for Phoenix, they now have a winning record of 15-14. The Mavericks and the Suns were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting back in November, but the Mavericks came up empty-handed after a 114-113 defeat. Can the Mavericks avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough. Phoenix is a slight 1.5-point favorite against Dallas, according to the latest NBA odds .

South Korea’s opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo on Friday, only two weeks after impeaching President Yoon Suk Yeol. South Korean stocks listed in the U.S. have faced significant volatility due to the recent political turmoil. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF EWY , which tracks over 90 large and mid-sized South Korean companies, tumbled as much as 7% earlier in December to hit a 52-week low amid the political crisis. Shares of Coupang, Inc. CPNG , South Korea's largest e-commerce platform, have fallen more than 12% over the past month. KB Financial Group Inc. KB , one of the country's largest financial institutions, is down by more than 9% over the same period. South Korea's currency has fallen amid the uncertainty to lows against the U.S. dollar not reached since the global financial crisis 15 years ago. The current political crisis began on Dec. 3 when President Yoon declared martial law, leading to his impeachment on Dec. 14. Prime Minister Han then assumed the role of acting president. The impeachment of acting President Han on Friday came after he refused to appoint three judges to the Constitutional Court which casts the final vote on presidential impeachments in the country. See Also: Billionaire Investors Michael Burry, David Tepper Could Benefit From China’s Stimulus Measures Friday's impeachment of President Han "suggests to the world the possibility that Korea's political unrest could be prolonged and worsen," Jeong Hoiok , a professor of political science at Myoungji University in Seoul, told the New York Times in an email. The second impeachment could cause "significant harm to the diplomacy and economic status that Korea has built so far," Hoiok added. What's Next: Friday's impeachment of acting President Han leaves the country without its top two officials and puts Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok next in line to assume the acting presidency. "The most important thing right now is to minimize the confusion in state affairs," Mr. Choi said. "The government will do its best to stabilize them."
