Why a Historically Reliable Recession Indicator May No Longer Be Accurate

Related media - News 24 hours Wall Street’s most reliable recession indicator started signaling trouble in 2022 and hasn’t stopped since, but so far it has proven wrong every time. The yield on 10-year Treasuries has been lower than that of many shorter-term bonds, a scenario known as an inverted yield curve, which has historically preceded nearly every recession since the 1950s. Traditionally, an inverted yield curve suggests a recession within a year or two. However, not only has a recession not occurred, but U.S. economic growth remains stable. This has led many on Wall Street to wonder why this once-reliable indicator has proven wrong this time and whether it still signals economic danger. "So far, he hasn't predicted a recession," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Anal...

76ers sign Paul George, secure Maxey extension, set championship aspirations

Related media - Breaking news PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey was patient. Despite the uncertainty, he waited, and now the Philadelphia 76ers have rewarded him handsomely. A year ago, the 76ers asked Maxey to delay signing a contract extension, promising that it would be worth it. At the time, Maxey was not yet an All-Star and had not scored 50 points in a game. The delay allowed the team to effectively manage the salary cap, entering free agency with about $65 million to spend. This strategic move paid off when the 76ers acquired Paul George from the Los Angeles Clippers on a four-year, $212 million deal. Maxey, the NBA’s Most Improved Player, also received his due: a five-year, $204 million extension. With these signings, the 76ers have committed more than $400 million to two players t...

The five-year impact of the new free kick rule in football

More news - Breaking news In the fall of 2017, free kicks began to be considered a real offensive tool. After his purchase from Benfica, it quickly became clear that Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson possessed a left leg more akin to a catapult than a human limb, capable of launching the ball 80 metres over the opposition defence to create a goal-scoring opportunity. Teams were baffled by this tactic, as they had never seen it before. City's entire attacking trio positioned themselves 20 metres beyond the opposition's goal line, confident that they could not be offside from a goal kick. @SamLee (@SamLee)"This set-up of City's free kick is brilliant. The players are spread out all over the pitch; the opposition have no idea whether the pass will be short, into the big hole i...

From Underdog to Superstar: Scheffler Faces Unexpected Fame

More news - Recent news Scottie Scheffler’s rise to the pinnacle of golf has been nothing short of meteoric.
