World reaches $300 bn climate finance deal at COP29NEW YORK (AP) — An early rebound for U.S. stocks on Thursday petered out by the end of the day, leaving indexes close to flat. The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% following Wednesday’s tumble of 2.9% when the Federal Reserve said it may deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than earlier thought. The index had been up as much as 1.1% in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 15 points, or less than 0.1%, following Wednesday’s drop of 1,123 points, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1%. This week’s struggles have taken some of the enthusiasm out of the market, which critics had been warning was overly buoyant and would need everything to go correctly for it to justify its high prices. But indexes remain near their records , and the S&P 500 is still on track for one of its best years of the millennium with a gain of 23%. Traders are now expecting the Federal Reserve to deliver just one or maybe two cuts to interest rates next year, according to data from CME Group. Some are even betting on none. A month ago, the majority saw at least two cuts in 2025 as a safe bet. Wall Street loves lower interest rates because they give the economy a boost and goose prices for investments, but they can also provide fuel for inflation. Micron Technology was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500 Thursday. It fell 16.2% despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than expected. The computer memory company’s revenue fell short of Wall Street’s forecasts, and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said it expects demand from consumers to remain weaker in the near term. It gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that fell well short of what analysts were thinking. Lamb Weston, which makes French fries and other potato products, dropped 20.1% after falling short of analysts’ expectations for profit and revenue in the latest quarter. It also cut its financial targets for the fiscal year, saying demand for frozen potatoes is continuing to soften, particularly outside North America. The company replaced its chief executive. Such losses helped overshadow a 14.7% jump for Darden Restaurants, the company behind Olive Garden and other chains. It delivered profit for the latest quarter that edged past analysts’ expectations. The operator of LongHorn Steakhouses also gave a forecast for revenue for this fiscal year that topped analysts’. Accenture rose 7.1% after the professional services company likewise topped expectations for profit in the latest quarter. CEO Julie Sweet said it saw growth around the world, and the company raised its forecast for revenue this fiscal year. Amazon shares added 1.3%, even as workers at seven of its facilities went on strike Thursday in the middle of the online retail giant’s busiest time of the year. Amazon says it doesn’t expect an impact on its operations during what the workers’ union calls the largest strike against the company in U.S. history. In the bond market, yields were mixed a day after shooting higher on expectations that the Fed would deliver fewer cuts to rates in 2025. Reports on the U.S. economy came in mixed. One showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The economy has remained remarkably resilient even though the Fed held its main interest rate at a two-decade high for a while before beginning to cut them in September. A separate report showed fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, an indication that the job market also remains solid. But a third report said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region is unexpectedly contracting again despite economists’ expectations for growth. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.57% from 4.52% late Wednesday and from less than 4.20% earlier this month. But the two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for action by the Fed in the near term, eased back to 4.31% from 4.35%. The rise in longer-term yields has put pressure on the housing market by keeping mortgage rates higher. Homebuilder Lennar fell 5.2% after reporting weaker profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. CEO Stuart Miller said that “the housing market that appeared to be improving as the Fed cut short-term interest rates, proved to be far more challenging as mortgage rates rose” through the quarter. “Even while demand remained strong, and the chronic supply shortage continued to drive the market, our results were driven by affordability limitations from higher interest rates,” he said. A report on Thursday may have offered some encouragement for the housing industry. It showed a pickup in sales of previously occupied homes. All told, the S&P 500 slipped 5.08 points to 5,867.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 15.37 to 42,342.24, and the Nasdaq composite lost 19.92 to 19,372.77. In stock markets abroad, London’s FTSE 100 fell 1.1% after the Bank of England paused its cuts to rates and kept its main interest rate unchanged on Thursday. The move comes as inflation there moved further above the central bank’s 2% target rate, while the British economy is flatlining at best. The Bank of Japan also kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged, and Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 fell 0.7%. Indexes likewise sank across much of the rest of Asia and Europe.

During Sunday’s episode, the finalists faced fish guts, spiders and cockroaches as they embarked on the last Bushtucker trial, The Towers Of Terror. In the first half of the challenge, the campmates were joined by snakes as they lay down inside separate levels of a wooden tower where they had to manoeuvre stars, passing them down to one another until they reached the lowest level of the tower. The campmates managed to collect all six stars and moved onto the second half of the trial, where they were tasked with untying a variety of knots while in the company of some critters. The trio were able to collect all of the remaining stars, meaning they won a reward of a three-course meal and drink. We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

Work started this week to rebuild Mill Creek Road in the Village of Head of the Harbor after a portion was washed away by floodwaters in August, restricting access to seven homes. The private road is owned by the nonprofit Ward Melville Heritage Organization. Water from an Aug. 18-19 storm, which dropped more than 10 inches of rain on Long Island’s North Shore, flooded the pond below the road, destroying about 160 feet of the roadway. “It truly was a disaster," said Gloria Rocchio, president of the heritage organization, which is paying to repair the road for an undisclosed cost. She said she will seek reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under a federal disaster declaration for nonprofits and public infrastructure. (The agency recently denied a request for aid to individuals.) Contractors from the Manorville-based Excav Services on Friday began clearing debris from the road, including fallen trees. Broken and fallen asphalt will also have to be removed from the hillside and the pond, which was drained when a dam collapsed during the storm. The water pressure that broke the dam under nearby Harbor Road in Stony Brook destroyed a narrow section of Mill Creek Road. Workers will also have to stabilize the hillside. The project, designed by Hauppauge-based VHB Engineering, is expected to take up to two months, said Excav Services vice president Dylan Governale. Mill Creek Road was the only access point to homes in the neighborhood. For more than a month, services such as trash pickup and mail delivery were cut off. Village police had also issued an evacuation order, warning residents they could not be reached by emergency vehicles. The village and the Town of Smithtown highway department completed a $170,000 temporary paved emergency access road in October that connected behind the homes to Emmet Drive. Daniel Kinney, who has lived on the road for 26 years, said he was relieved to have a sense of normalcy after his home was isolated for weeks. He said mail and trash pickup has been restored and he recently received a home heating oil delivery. “That was a pretty big disaster and not an overnight fix. Things are pretty much back to normal,” Kinney said. He hoped that any repairs would address present-day concerns. "They should fix it better and build for the future," he said. "They have to upgrade this.” Kinney said the hillside below the road has been eroding for the past decade. He also worried about what would happen if a fire broke out, specifically how firefighters could access the narrow road and the fact that homes there use well water. “With all these power lines and branches falling, it’s ripped the wires off my house,” Kinney said. “If there’s a fire, this whole place will go up.” Mayor Michael Utevsky said the project is designed to prevent further erosion while the hillside is supported with stone and pilings. “It’s great to know the Ward Melville Heritage Organization is working with homeowners and the village to restore normal access,” Utevsky said. “Erosion is happening all around us — on beaches and Stony Brook Harbor. We all hope there won’t be a storm quite this bad, but we need to have more resilient infrastructure.” Work started this week to rebuild Mill Creek Road in the Village of Head of the Harbor after a portion was washed away by floodwaters in August, restricting access to seven homes.
