The crack dipped to $6.93 per barrel over Brent crude, from $7.06 on Tuesday. In naphtha, the margins declined for a fourth consecutive session on weak demand for the light distillate, leading to refining cuts. The crack dipped by $2.72 to $82.73 per metric ton over Brent crude. Light distillate stocks, including naphtha and gasoline, at the Fujairah commercial hub rose by 123,000 barrels to 5.823 million barrels in the week ending Nov. 25, S&P Global Commodity Insights data showed. U.S. gasoline inventories rose by 1.81 million barrels, and distillate stocks rose by 2.54 million barrels, market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday. Oil prices edged up on Wednesday, with markets assessing the potential impact of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah and Sunday’s OPEC+ meeting, in which the group could delay a planned increase to oil output. Oil producers in Canada and Mexico will likely be forced to reduce prices and divert supply to Asia if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump imposes 25% import tariffs on crude imports from the two countries, traders and analysts said.

The impromptu moment came while the two were supposed to be reading a kissing scene. However, Robbie decided another move would work better for the script. The last line from DiCaprio was, “Come over here and kiss me.” Margot Robbie stars in The Wolf of Wall Street. “And in my head I was like, ‘I could totally kiss Leonardo DiCaprio. That would be awesome,’” she recalled thinking during an episode of the Talking Pictures podcast . “I can’t wait to tell all of my friends this.” “And then I was like... nah. And just walloped him in the face,” Robbie said. “And it was dead silence for what felt like an eternity but was probably three seconds,” recounted the actress, who was 22 years old at the time. “And then they just burst out laughing. Leo and Marty were laughing so hard, they said, ‘That was great.’” The actress starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the film. Afterwards, Robbie worried she would get “arrested” and ruin her career over the off-script move. “I was like, ‘You’re going to get arrested, I’m pretty sure that’s assault, battery,’” she thought at the time. “Not only will you never work again, but actually you will go to jail for this, you idiot. And also, why did you have to do it so hard? You could have done it lighter.” Robbie’s role as Naomi Lapaglia in Wolf of Wall Street , alongside DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey, thrust the young star straight into the spotlight. The film was based on the real-life story of Jordan Belfort, a former stockbroker who committed financial crimes, including stock market manipulation and fraud.

Picture: Michael TRAN / AFP The Barbie actress wasn’t prepared for the new-found level of fame the role brought her. “Something was happening in those early stages, and it was all pretty awful, and I remember saying to my mum, ‘I don’t think I want to do this,’” she told Vanity Fair in 2022. “And she just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, ‘Darling, I think it’s too late not to.’ That’s when I realised the only way was forward.” These days, Robbie is much more comfortable navigating her stardom. “I know how to go through airports, and now I know who’s trying to f**k me over in what ways,” Robbie explained to the outlet. After The Wolf of Wall Street , the actress landed roles in huge films including I, Tonya, Suicide Squad and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Most recently, the 34-year-old starred in the box office hit Barbie alongside Ryan Gosling. The film, which was the biggest opener of 2023, grossed $US1.44 billion, according to Deadline.

After its biggest earnings miss in two years and stock plunge, Target laid some of the blame on the recent U.S. ports strike, citing higher freight costs it absorbed as a result of preemptive action to move more product into the U.S. ahead of October. But cargo container trade data reviewed by CNBC tells a more nuanced tale. The port strikes, which stretched from New England to Texas, wound up lasting only a few days, but many companies, including Target, had rerouted and pulled forward shipments, loading up on inventory to make sure they had the merchandise needed for the holiday season. On a call with reporters, Target CEO Brian Cornell said “lingering softness in discretionary categories” and costs associated with rushing shipments and preparing for the short-lived port strike in October hurt the company’s quarterly performance. Michael Fiddelke, Target executive vice president and chief operating officer, told CNBC on Wednesday that higher supply chain costs were a headwind in the quarter. “We took some action to move product ahead of the port strike which came with more cost,” Fiddelke said. “It’s disappointing that a deceleration in discretionary demand combined with some cost pressures have caused us to take our guidance back down after raising it last quarter.” But the trade data does not show a surge that would equate to a major pull forward of imports in relation to the strike as compared with last year. Target’s peak season imports for 2024 compared with 2023 were flat to down, according to cargo container volumes data pulled and analyzed by ImportGenius. “The nearly even volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) between June and September 2023 compared to that same period in 2024 is striking,” said William George, director of research at ImportGenius. “We would expect to see a clear uptick due to pre-ILA strike front-loading. This is a situation where flat really means down, as we’re seeing,” he said, referencing the stock’s decline, which reached 21% on Wednesday. The data does show the company did bring in more containers via West Coast ports. The top three ports used by Target overall were Savannah, Georgia; Long Beach, California; and the Port of Virginia. According to supply chain data firm Sonar, spot freight prices did spike in July due to the combination of peak shipping season and the pull forwards happening ahead of the strike, with prices for a 40-foot container running as high as $9,000-$10,000. In June, the freight rate was between $6,000-$7,000. (Twenty-foot containers would be half the price but subject to the same trend line.) The overall level of imports by Target in 2023 and 2024 wouldn’t lead one to conclude that any short-term price hike was a major factor in the quarter. “After reviewing the two periods over the summer where Target brought in containers for the holidays, our data shows the bulk of their containers arrived between July and August,” said Lynn Hughes, an investigative analyst at ImportGenius. “In June, there was a bump in imports, but not substantial.” Fiddelke described its import strategy as resulting in a situation where the retailer was “fuller a little bit earlier in the quarter than we would like to be, and we’re never quite as efficient when our buildings are full, but we felt like that was the right decision to really protect the guest experience.” Jerry Storch, former CEO of Toys R Us and CEO of consulting firm Storch Advisors, said Target is paying the price for bigger corporate mistakes, with any freight issue to be set aside, with the retailer relying too heavily on discretionary items in its sales mix and diluting its value positioning. “Target’s deeper problem is their strategy is not resonating with the consumer in this environment,” said Storch. “Their comp sales have lagged Walmart’s every quarter for several years. This gap was 500 basis points in the most recent quarter. That’s a lot!” Storch said. “If they brought in too much freight early, that could explain a cost or inventory issue, but not a sales miss of this magnitude.” Signs that Target executives got the demand picture wrong can be seen in the fact that just three months ago the retailer hiked its earnings forecast. Its full-year earnings forecast is now well below what it guided to earlier this year. If Target didn’t bring in more shipping containers than it did last year, the trade data shows it still brought in way too much in dollar value. According to customs data aggregated by Panjiva, Walmart imported 25,000 shipments from May 31-Aug. 31, valued at $1.3 billion. During the same time frame, Target imported 40,000 shipments, valued at $2.5 billion. Target has been in discounting mode for much of the year. In May, it cut prices on about 5,000 frequently purchased items, including diapers, bread and milk. In October, it added another 2,000 items to the discount list. The retailer has said 10,000 items in all will see lower prices by the end of holiday season. Joe Feldman, senior managing director for retail consultant Telsey Advisory Group, said everything that went wrong for Target will contribute to the continued discounting. The retailer accelerated and rerouted shipments to the West Coast to avoid the East Coast and Gulf Coast port strikes, while also anticipating stronger demand for discretionary goods, which pressured costs and left the company with elevated inventory levels. “Now, the company will have to promote more in the fourth quarter to clear through inventory to end the year in a clean position,” Feldman said. Bill Simon, former CEO of Walmart, said any short-term supply chain snafu is dwarfed by the fact that Walmart is taking some of Target’s more affluent customer market share, with Walmart reporting low single-digit growth in discretionary general merchandise categories, and Target reporting a decline in those categories. Walmart shares hit a new all-time closing high on Wednesday. Simon added that the inventory numbers for Walmart suggest if the strike was a supply chain issue all retailers had to manage, Walmart’s inventory shows it did a better job. Inventory was down 0.6%, with Walmart sales growing 5%. “I would have expected it [inventory] to go up 3%-4%,” he said. “With any front-loading for the port strike, inventory would be up even higher than that.” Even if Target’s overall trade numbers for peak season this year are in line with last year, according to Simon the market share shift means Walmart didn’t overload, but based on its struggle with consumers, “Target did.” Source: CNBCGOG’s preservation program lets you keep playing games after they’re delisted

Retailers coax Black Friday shoppers into stores with big discounts and giveaways NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers in the U.S. have used giveaways and bigger-than expected discounts to reward shoppers who ventured out on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving still reigns for now as the unofficial kickoff of the holiday shopping season even if it’s lost some luster. Analysts reported seeing the biggest crowds at stores that offered real savings. They say many shoppers are being cautious with their discretionary spending despite the easing of inflation. Stores are even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there are five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Online sales figures from Thanksgiving Day gave retailers a reason to remain hopeful for a lucrative end to the year. Southwest Airlines says it is ending cabin service earlier to reduce chance of injury Southwest Airlines is ending its cabin service earlier starting next month. Beginning on Dec. 4, a company spokesperson says flight attendants will begin preparing the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet instead of 10,000 feet. The company says it's making the changes to reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence injuries. For passengers, that means they will need to return their seats to an upright position or do other pre-landing procedures earlier than before. While turbulence-related fatalities are quite rare, injuries have piled up over the years. Why your favorite catalogs are smaller this holiday season PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — While retailers hope to go big this holiday season, customers may notice that the catalogs arriving in their mailboxes are smaller. Many of the millions of catalogs getting sent to U.S. homes were scaled down to save on postage and paper. Some gift purveyors are sending out postcards. In a sign of the times, the American Catalog Mailers Association rebranded itself in May as the American Commerce Marketing Association. Despite no longer carrying an extended inventory of goods, industry experts say catalogs help retailers cut through the noise and still hold their own in value because of growing digital advertising costs. Canada's Trudeau says he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump in Florida after tariffs threat WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump in Florida after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City. It's unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada on Saturday, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. Trump’s transition team hasn't responded to questions about what the leaders had discussed at their dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he said was the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. Trump and Republicans in Congress eye an ambitious 100-day agenda, starting with tax cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans swept to power on Election Day and now control the House, the Senate and the White House, with plans for an ambitious 100-day agenda come January. Their to-do list includes extending tax breaks, cutting social programs, building the border wall to stop immigration and rolling back President Joe Biden's green energy policies. Atop that list is a plan to renew some $4 trillion in expiring tax cuts that were a signature domestic achievement of Republican Donald Trump’s first term as president. It's an issue that may define his return to the White House. The ruble's in a slump. For the Kremlin, that's a two-edged sword Russia’s ruble is sagging against other currencies, complicating the Kremlin’s efforts to keep consumer inflation under control with one hand even as it overheats the economy with spending on the war against Ukraine with the other. Over time a weaker ruble could mean higher prices for imports from China, Russia's main trade partner these days. President Vladimir Putin says things are under control. One wild card is sanctions against a key Russian bank that have disrupted foreign trade payments. If Russia finds a workaround for that, the ruble could regain some of its recent losses. Iceland votes for a new parliament after political disagreements force an early election REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Icelanders are electing a new parliament after disagreements over immigration, energy policy and the economy forced Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson to pull the plug on his coalition government and call early elections. This will be Iceland’s sixth general election since the 2008 financial crisis devastated the economy of the North Atlantic island nation and ushered in a new era of political instability. Opinion polls suggest the country may be in for another upheaval, with support for the three governing parties plunging. Benediktsson, who was named prime minister in April following the resignation of his predecessor, struggled to hold together the unlikely coalition of his conservative Independence Party with the centrist Progressive Party and the Left-Green Movement. Massachusetts lawmakers push for an effort to ban all tobacco sales over time BOSTON (AP) — A handful of Massachusetts lawmakers are hoping to persuade their colleagues to support a proposal that would make the state the first to adopt a ban meant to eliminate the use of tobacco products over time. Other locations have weighed similar “generational tobacco bans.” The bans phase out the use of tobacco products based not just on a person's age but on birth year. Lawmakers plan to file the proposal next year. If approved, the bill would set a date and ban the sale of tobacco to anyone born after that date forever, eventually banning all sales. Vietnam approves $67 billion high-speed railway project between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnam has approved the construction of a high-speed railway connecting the capital Hanoi in the north with the financial capital of Ho Chi Minh in the south. It is expected to cost $67 billion and will stretch 1,541 kilometers (957 miles). The new train is expected to travel at speeds of up to 350 kph (217 mph), reducing the journey from the current 30 hours to just five hours. The decision was taken by Vietnam’s National Assembly on Saturday. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and Vietnam hopes that the first trains will start operating by 2035. But the country has been beleaguered by delays to its previous infrastructure projects. Inflation rose to 2.3% in Europe. That won't stop the central bank from cutting interest rates FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Inflation in the 20 countries that use the euro currency rose in November — but that likely won’t stop the European Central Bank from cutting interest rates as the prospect of new U.S. tariffs from the incoming Trump administration adds to the gloom over weak growth. The European Union’s harmonized index of consumer prices rose 2.3 percent, up from 2.0% in October, according to EU statistics agency Eurostat. However, worries about growth mean the Dec. 12 ECB meeting is not about whether to cut rates, but by how much. Market buzz says there could be a larger than usual half-point cut in the benchmark rate, currently 3.25%.Fine Gael's Jennifer Carroll McNeill the first TD elected in the country...

Zayn Malik has paid tribute to Liam Payne during a concert in his former One Direction band mate's hometown of Wolverhampton, saying he "hopes" the late star sees his gig. Login or signup to continue reading The singer, 31, had kicked off his Stairway To The Sky tour in Leeds' O2 Academy with an on-stage blue screen message that read "Liam Payne 1993-2024. Love you bro" with a pink heart. However, he has not appeared to directly speak about Payne, who died aged 31 in Argentina in October, during the tour. Videos on social media showed Malik telling his audience at the University of Wolverhampton venue The Halls "I've been doing something, at the end of the show, every night, and it's been dedicated to my brother Liam Payne". "Rest in peace," Malik said. "I hope you're seeing this. We're in your hometown tonight - Wolverhampton, this is for you, Liam." Malik rescheduled his tour's original opening dates in Edinburgh due to Payne's funeral, which he attended with fellow One Direction stars Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. Malik left One Direction in 2015 before the group went on indefinite hiatus in 2016, with the members all going on to pursue solo careers. Following the death of Payne, Malik said he "never got to thank" his friend for supporting him through some of the "most difficult" times in his life. "I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what I'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly", he said in a statement shared to Instagram. "I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever. "There is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. "I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are. Love you, bro." Argentinian prosecutors are investigating Payne's death and three people have been charged in connection with the incident. Payne died on October 16 of multiple traumas and "internal and external haemorrhage" after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, a post-mortem report said. Malik plays Manchester on Saturday, before heading to Leeds and Newcastle. Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. Also includes evening update.

The Edmonton Oilers took a big loss to their roster this offseason with Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway leaving to St. Louis via an offer sheet, but they almost went to the Calgary Flames instead, according to new reports. NHL insider Jeff Marek revealed that at least three teams were preparing to make an offer sheet to both Broberg and Holloway, and one of them was the Flames. Calgary Flames Were Close to Offer Sheeting Oilers RFAs Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway Broberg and Holloway signed offer sheets with the Blues for $4.58M and $2.29M respectively, salaries that would've put the Oilers in an impossible situation this year and next year. The Oilers took the easy route to not match the offer sheets , and take a second and third round draft pick in compensation. Losing out on Philip Broberg in particular may have been a mistake that could haunt the Edmonton Oilers for years to come. In his first 13 games with the Blues, Broberg has 9 points and is playing top pair minutes. As a 6'4 right shot two-way defenceman, he's a premium position and a talented young player. Holloway is having a good start with the Blues as well, already with a career high of 7 goals and 13 points in 25 games. However, management had torched this situation before it got to the Offer Sheets. Broberg, and potentially Holloway too, were ready to move on from Edmonton to get consistent NHL ice time. It's interesting to wonder how things would've been different if it was the Flames that did finalize an offer sheet with the Oilers RFAs. Flames ownership is reportedly blocking trades to Edmonton , so it's believable that the Oilers may have even tried to match the offer sheets if Calgary was behind them. Without Broberg and Holloway, the Oilers are an older and slower team - but they still will be a Stanley Cup Contender. It was never depth players like Broberg and Holloway that made the Oilers a great team, it's their veteran star players. However, in a few years, Edmonton may be dearly missing these players.
