Warner Bros. Discovery Sues NBA Over Media Rights Dispute With Amazon

Related media - News 24 hours Warner Bros. Discovery has filed a lawsuit against the NBA to secure the rights to broadcast a package of live games, challenging the league’s decision to award those rights to Amazon. “Due to the NBA’s unjustified rejection of our game against a third-party offer, we have initiated legal proceedings to enforce our rights,” said TNT Sports, a unit of Warner Bros.

Earlier this week, the NBA announced deals with Disney, ComcastNBCUniversal and Amaz...

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...
