(Source: Nasdaq) Wall Street’s main indexes were mostly flat on Thursday after recording all-time closing highs in the previous session, with focus on the monthly employment report due on Friday as markets mostly brushed off weekly jobless claims data. The crucial nonfarm payrolls report, scheduled for release before markets open, could be key in gauging the Federal Reserve’s interest rate trajectory. Eric Clark, portfolio manager at the Rational Dynamic Brands Fund, said the market could get a rate cut in December but the Fed might be more cautious going forward. “They have already hinted about being very slow and methodical about cutting interest rates ... at some point the market will probably make that realization and put things that were tied to rate cuts on sale.” U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell appeared to signal support for a slower pace of interest-rate cuts ahead when he spoke on Wednesday, while San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said there was “no sense of urgency” on reducing borrowing costs further. Comments from Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin are due later in the day. On the day, data showed the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits increased moderately last week, suggesting that the labor market continued to cool. At 11:32 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), fell 105.25 points, or 0.23%, to 44,908.79, the S&P 500 (.SPX), lost 1.80 points, or 0.03%, to 6,084.84 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), gained 17.50 points, or 0.09%, to 19,752.62. Most megacap and growth stocks were mixed. Tesla (TSLA.O), however, outperformed with a 3.5% gain after at least two brokerages lifted their price target on the electric vehicle maker’s stock. The S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab, the Nasdaq (.IXIC), and the Dow (.DJI), clocked record closing highs on Wednesday, having rallied greatly this year as investors bought into heavyweight technology stocks in a bid to cash in on the artificial intelligence hype. Another tailwind for stocks recently has been former U.S. President Donald Trump’s win in the Nov. 5 elections. Analysts expect his policies on tax cuts and looser regulation could support corporate performance. Southwest Airlines (LUV.N), gained 3.9% as the carrier raised its forecast for fourth-quarter revenue per available seat miles, while American Airlines (AAL.O), added 15% after lifting its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings forecast. Synopsys (SNPS.O), opens new tab fell 10.7% after the chip design software firm forecast fiscal 2025 revenue below Wall Street expectations, in part due to a slump in China sales. Cryptocurrency and blockchain-related stocks lost steam after surging earlier in the day when bitcoin , the world’s largest cryptocurrency, stormed above the $100,000 mark for the first time. MicroStrategy (MSTR.O), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, was down 2%, while exchange operator Coinbase (COIN.O), was flat. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.18-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.4-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 34 new 52-week highs and five new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 109 new highs and 82 new lows.

Bill Guerin on Jake Middleton's injury, Travis Dermott's addition and where Wild go from here
Course correction, RSS backed campaign and women voters script Mahayuti's come back in MaharashtraRiver Valley sets sights on second straight trip to statePope Francis will visit the French Mediterranean island of Corsica in December, days after skipping the reopening of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral which was ravaged by a fire in 2019, the Vatican said Saturday. Francis, 87, declined an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Notre Dame reopening ceremony in Paris on December 7. He will however head to Corsica's capital Ajaccio for a conference on the Catholic faith in the Mediterranean one week later on December 15, the Vatican said. Some French bishops were "annoyed" by the pope's decision to stay away from the Notre Dame gala, according to one bishop speaking on condition of anonymity. But the head of the Bishops' Conference of France (CEF) Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort said: "The star of the Notre Dame reopening ceremony is Notre Dame itself." The pope had not wanted his presence to be a distraction from the essential point of the occasion, he added. "It's not a snub aimed at France," said another bishop. Francis's one-day trip to Corsica will be the first papal visit to the island, where 90 percent of its 350,000 population is Catholic, according to the local Church, and religious traditions remain deeply rooted. He will give two speeches, preside over a mass and meet Macron during his nine hours on the island, the Vatican said. "It is a historic event, we will give ourselves the extraordinary means to put on an exceptional welcome for the Holy Father," said Bishop of Ajaccio Francois-Xavier Bustillo said in a video posted on social media. Francis, who will celebrate his 88th birthday on December 17, has been to France twice since becoming head of the worldwide Catholic Church in 2013. He visited Strasbourg in 2014, where he addressed the European Parliament, and last year went to Marseille for a meeting of Mediterranean area bishops, where he met Macron. He has yet to make a state visit to France, one of Europe's main majority-Catholic countries. He is also yet to make state visits to Spain, the United Kingdom or Germany. The Argentine pontiff prefers visiting smaller or less established Catholic communities, from Malta to Mongolia. The Corsica visit was championed by the popular media-friendly Bustillo, who was made a cardinal by Pope Francis in September 2023. "It will not be a state visit, but a pastoral visit. It will be a beautiful moment, a moment of hope and joy," he told AFP. In addition, the head of the Catholic Church is scheduled to be at the Vatican on December 7-8 for a service at which he will create 21 new cardinals. Rescheduling appointments over coming months would appear to be tricky, given the multitude of events due to take place in Rome in 2025, a Catholic jubilee year. Bustillo is one of the active cardinals Francis has appointed in the Mediterranean region, with the pope keen they "work together to meet the specific challenges of the area", a bishop told AFP on condition of anonymity. Those issues include migration, global warming and interreligious dialogue. Corsica will be the 47th overseas visit for Francis and his third this year, after a long tour of the Asia Pacific in early September and a trip to Belgium and Luxembourg the same month. cmk-bur/tw/jm

Qualcomm scores key win in licensing dispute with ArmFor the past decade, Deadpool has become an unlikely success story as the raunchy outsider upended Hollywood norms, broke box office records and reached new heights with this summer’s $1.3 billion grosser, . The character also transformed Ryan Reynolds into one of the biggest movie stars in the world. But more quietly, the man who birthed Deadpool has parlayed that success into rewards almost unheard of for any comic book creator. Over the past year, writer-artist capitalize on the cachet from the character with a multiple deals involving producers and studios hoping to find “the next Deadpool.” In April, ahead of ’s July opening, Warner Bros. picked up the rights to , based on a fallen angel character cast down to Earth comic from the 1990s. The A-list package has Olivia Wilde attached to direct and Margot Robbie and Simon Kinberg attached to produce. That deal involved a $2 million payday for Liefeld for the purchase price, according to multiple sources. And while it was a sign of how strongly Warners wanted to remain in the Robbie business after last year’s , having a comic by Liefeld gave the package extra heft. Then in October, Liefeld accomplished something that had escaped him for decades: securing the movie and publishing rights to Youngblood under one roof. It was a personal victory, as it was the very first comic published by Image Comics, the company Liefeld co-founded with other superstar artists who defected from Marvel in the early 1990s. To make the deal, Liefeld made peace with Scott M. Rosenberg, a publisher and producer whose claim to fame was turning an obscure black and white indie comic titled into a hit Will Smith movie. Rosenberg also held certain rights to Young Blood creations, a point that bedeviled Liefeld for years. With that issue settled, Liefeld and Rosenberg then teamed with producer Adrian Askarieh to begin setting up the IP. The trio took meetings at CAA, WME, UTA and Range Media in October, hyping the title as the last great superhero comic that isn’t taken. The trio ultimately signed with CAA for the endeavor. Those two developments are on top of the royalties Liefeld enjoys from the surge of Deadpool’s popularity. Liefeld has a deal unique among creators of Marvel and DC characters. Some enjoy royalties for certain books or receive discretionary bonuses for movie or TV usage from the companies (Marvel pays some creators $5,000 for character’s a movie appearance, for example). But Liefeld receives payment any time Deadpool appears onscreen, in merch, in video games and in comics. It’s a deal that not even Stan Lee, the late co-creator of Spider-Man and Iron Man, benefited from. Nor Jim Starlin, co-creator of Thanos, Gamora and Shang-Chi, or Todd McFarlane, co-creator of Venom. “When Deadpool exploded into Fortnite, was that really good for my kids’ private education? Yes. Yes, it was,” he told in an 2020 interview. “I have Deadpool revenue streams that have existed since 1991.” In some ways, 2024 is an unlikely third act for Liefeld. Liefeld burst onto the comics scene as a wunderkind creator, only in his early 20s when he led the Marvel comic from a low-selling title on the verge of cancelation to revitalizing it in such a way that when it was relaunched over a year later as , the first issue sold a record four million copies. Deadpool proved enduringly popular, especially after Liefeld left with other Marvel creators in 1992 to launch Image. And while Liefeld flooded the comic racks with creations, his tenure at Image was short-lived. By 1996, he contentiously parted ways with the publishing house and his partners. But while his comic and artistic fortunes sagged, his Hollywood life began. After a New Line deal for in the mid-‘90s, more followed. Few involved an actual published comic. In 1998, an action concept The Mark was set up in a seven-figure deal at Universal with Will Smith attached to star and Steven Spielberg eying to direct. was set up at Columbia in 2002 with Jenifer Lopez attached to star and produce the movie, described as with superheroes. The pitch involved just five Liefeld-drawn visuals, and the producers hoped it would eventually launch a comic. ultimately shriveled in development hell but was re-set up in 2019. In 2003, New Line Cinema acquired the sci-fi action-comedy pitch in a deal valued at mid-six against seven figures. The pitch, centered on an intergalactic witness protection program, came with 10 pages of an unpublished comic. It was re-optioned twice, generating more fees for Liefeld. As these deals took place, Liefeld enjoyed the Hollywood life, attending premieres and hanging out at celebrity-packed house parties. But as with the whimsies of the business, Liefeld saw a dip in Hollywood fortunes and tried to return to comics. The first movie revived interest in the artist, however, and Liefeld, never one to miss an opportunity, hustled. In 2016, was optioned by Paramount for $300,000 against $600,000 and had Akiva Goldsman producing. (A bargain when compared to the recent Warners deal.) Graham King, in a reported seven-figure deal, tried to launch a Liefeld-verse with characters from the creator’s Extreme Studios imprint ion 2017. And the Captain America-like Prophet was semi-close to getting off the ground with Jake Gyllenhaal and Studio 8 in the late 2010s, also in six-figure deals. It is likely that Liefeld has made between $10 million to $20 million off his creations and reputation as Deadpool’s co-creator, making him the most financially successful American comic artist or writer. “He is the most successful comic book creator with the least things actually made,” notes one producer. “There’s nobody else is in his category. He has managed to take all his titles and build a little empire.” The asterisk here is Mark Millar, the author of comics such as , and , who not only found hit adaptations of his work while influenced the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also sold his entire comic publishing empire to Netflix in 2017. That deal alone was worth $45 million, according to insiders. (There were rumors that Liefeld attempted to sell his universe of creations to Netflix a la Millar, but that didn’t not get up the chain too far, the insiders said.) There’s also creator Robert Kirkman, who has transcended comics to become a small media mogul via his Skybound Entertainment, which also is behind and is actively involved with showrunning and other aspects of running a wide-ranging media company. But Liefeld’s superpower has been to build an empire without needing to build a big company as well. “There is a real appetite for Rob’s titles because of the success of Deadpool,” notes one producer THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day More from The Hollywood Reporter
Hyderabad: Peddling racket busted in Kachiguda, 114 kg ganja seized
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 2) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1, No. 5 CFP) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. “In life, all good things come to an end,” Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said. Late in the first half, Indiana punter James Evans fumbled a snap and was buried at his own 7-yardline with the Buckeyes taking over. That turned quickly into a 4-yard TD run by Henderson that gave the Buckeyes a 14-7 lead. Early in the second half, Caleb Downs fielded an Evans punt at the Ohio State 21, raced down the right sideline, cut to the middle and outran the coverage for a TD that put the Buckeyes up 21-7. It was the first time a Buckeye returned a punt for a touchdown since 2014. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. “Our guys just played with a chip today, and that’s the way you got to play the game of football,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. Indiana scored on its first possession of the game and its last, both short runs by Ty Son Lawson, who paced the Hoosiers with 79 rushing yards. Rourke was 8 for 18 for 68 yards. “We had communication errors, pass (protection), every time we dropped back to pass, something bad happened," Cignetti said. Indiana's 151 total yards was its lowest of the season. And it was the most points surrendered by the Hoosier's defense. Indiana: Its special season was blemished by the Buckeyes, who beat the Hoosiers for the 30th straight time. Indiana was eyeing its first conference crown since sharing one with two other teams in 1967. That won't happen now. “Ohio State deserved to win,” Cignetti said. “They had those (third quarter scores), and we just couldn’t respond.” Ohio State: Didn't waste the opportunities presented by the Hoosiers when they got sloppy. The Buckeyes led 14-7 at the break and took control in the second half. An offensive line patched together because of multiple injuries performed surprisingly well. “We know what was at stake," Day said. “We don't win this game, and we have no chance to go to Indianapolis and play in the Big Ten championship. And that's real. We've had that approach for the last few weeks now, more than that.” Some voters were obviously unsure of Indiana because it hadn't played a nationally ranked team before Ohio State. After this one, the Hoosiers will drop. Howard made history by completing 80% of his passes for the sixth time this season. No other Ohio State quarterback has done that. He completed his first 14 passes in a row and finished with a 85% completion rate. “I think Buckeye nation is now seeing, after 11 games, that this guy is a winner, he's tough, he cares about his teammates, he's a leader,” Day said. Indiana hosts Purdue in the regular-season finale next Saturday. Ohio State hosts rival Michigan on Saturday. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The Oregon Ducks will don some eye-catching cleats when they open their College Football Playoff account in the Rose Bowl. The school shared photos Friday of the custom Kobe IV cleats they'll wear for the playoff quarterfinals on New Year's Day: Being the alma mater of Nike co-founder Phil Knight has long held its advantages for Oregon. Especially in football, the Ducks have been on the cutting edge in terms of uniform design and technology. The program hasn't released its full uniform set for the Rose Bowl, but the white-and-green cleats offer a strong hint. For the Big Ten title game against Penn State, Oregon broke out its all-black "Fly Era" jerseys with green helmets. To kick off 2025, it looks like the Ducks will be going back to the more traditional "Gang Green" set , which utilizes green tops with green or yellow pants. As the top seed in the playoff, Oregon awaits the winner of Saturday's first-round battle between No. 9 Tennessee and No. 8 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.Welcome to the Trading Day blog for Thursday, November 28.
