Former Ulster prop set for ‘long recovery journey’ after undergoing major surgeryWASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, has not served in the military or had a civilian leadership role in the service. While officials and defense experts said the Navy is in sore need of a disruptor, they cautioned that Phelan's lack of experience could make it more difficult for him to realize Trump's goals. Trump late Tuesday nominated Phelan, a major donor to his campaign who founded the private investment firm Rugger Management LLC. The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment on his qualifications. According to his biography, Phelan's primary exposure to the military comes from an advisory position he holds on the Spirit of America, a non-profit that supports the defense of Ukraine and the defense of Taiwan. Recommended Videos Not all service secretaries come into the office with prior military experience, but he'd be the first in the Navy since 2006. Current Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth similarly does not have prior military service. She, however, has spent her career in a host of defense civilian positions. The appointment comes at a critical moment for the Navy, which has been stretched thin with deployments around the world and must contend with a shrinking fleet even as the naval forces of its main rival, China, are growing. Trump has campaigned on expanding the Navy and would need to fight bureaucratic inertia to do so. But it’s uncertain whether a secretary with no military experience — either in uniform or as a defense civilian — would be well-positioned to lead that effort. “It will be difficult for anyone without experience in the Pentagon to take over the leadership of a service and do a good job,” said Stacie Pettyjohn, a senior fellow and director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security. “Services are sprawling organizations with distinct cultures, subcultures and bureaucratic interests, and where decisions are made through many formal processes. To change a service’s plans, one must understand this Byzantine landscape.” Experts said Phelan's nomination reflects that Trump is seeking service branch heads who will not push back on his ideas — but that Phelan's lack of experience is likely to create issues and delays of its own, They say the Navy can't afford to lose time. One of the Navy’s biggest challenges is preparing for a potential military confrontation with China over Taiwan, a self-ruled island that China claims as its own. " The stakes are high ," said Brad Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “The success or failure in addressing key problems in the U.S. Navy over the next couple years may have a decisive effect on war and peace in the Taiwan Strait and elsewhere.” Trump has called for a 350-ship Navy since his 2016 presidential campaign, but he experienced first-hand the difficulty in realizing that goal, given the challenges to shipbuilding and the erratic and often delayed congressional budget process. There are just under 300 battle force ships in the fleet — vessels that have a direct role in conducting combat operations. “The Navy is stretched covering Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. Strategists have wanted to pull back from Europe and the Middle East, but recent conflicts have prevented that,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “So the next secretary will have a shrinking fleet, expanded overseas commitments, and an uncertain budget environment.” The Marine Corps has called for 31 amphibious warships to help it maintain a close-to-shore presence around the globe. The Navy regularly has had to extend the deployments of its aircraft carriers and escorting destroyers, for example, to respond to the unstable security situation in the Middle East. Each extension can create rippling effects: Ships don’t get maintained on schedule, and forces get tired of the lack of predictability for their families and leave the service. Service branch chiefs spend vast amounts of time not only responding to the White House but also appeasing members of Congress in frequent hearings on Capitol Hill, shaping budget requests, holding constant meetings on service member issues, attending industry conferences and filling speakers requests. That all requires a nuanced understanding of the service that a secretary is leading, because major change in any of the branches often involves a lengthy process to review directives and past policy. Any changes to the many weapons systems the Navy and Marine Corps need and pursue are subject to lengthy contract award challenges. “The Navy’s problem here is money,” Cancian said. “Even if the defense budget goes up, there will only be a relatively small increase available for shipbuilding. (If) the budget stays steady or goes down, then the Navy will have a major problem. The fleet will continue to shrink." Trump has signaled through multiple appointments, such as his selection of SpaceX founder Elon Musk to co-lead a nongovernmental Department of Government Efficiency, that he seeks to cut through red tape. But the service secretary can't do that without moving through Congress, which has produced many of those regulations and processes the military must follow. “It might help that he has a personal relationship with the president. However, his lack of experience in defense and the Pentagon will hurt the Navy," Cancian said. "It will take him a while to learn the levers of power.”Trump says he can’t guarantee tariffs won’t raise US prices, won’t rule out revenge prosecutions
Kyle Whittingham will return next season as Utah's coach. There has been some speculation about Whittingham's future plans, but the 65-year-old coaching veteran announced Sunday that he has no plans to step aside. And he channeled Michael Jordan in signaling his intention to return for the 2025 season. For immediate release📰 We are looking forward to 2025!!️ #GoUtes | @UtahCoachWhitt pic.twitter.com/jq9BnjypgO Whittingham has led the program since 2005 but saw a streak of 10 consecutive winning seasons snapped this year as the Utes -- picked to win the Big 12 in their first season as members -- were plagued by injuries yet again. Utah started the season 4-0 before enduring a seven-game losing streak that included a heartbreaking home loss to rival BYU , which was undefeated and ranked No. 9 in the country at the time. Utah closed out the regular season with a win over UCF , but finished 5-7 to miss out on a bowl game. With Utes defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley already carrying the "coach-in-waiting" label in Salt Lake City, some wondered whether Whittingham would step aside. Instead, he will be back on the sidelines for his 21st season as coach and 32nd overall with the program. Utah has struggled offensively in the past two seasons with quarterback Cam Rising dealing with multiple serious injuries. Andy Ludwig, Utah's offensive coordinator since 2019, stepped down from his position on Oct. 20. Following the conclusion of the regular season, Whittingham hired Jason Beck from New Mexico to serve as offensive coordinator next season. In all, Whittingham has a 167-86 record with three conference titles -- one in the Mountain West and two in the Pac-12 -- during his time leading the program.CSL’s $88 Billion Empire of Blood and Iron Sees Shares Falter
The other evening a good friend and I were sitting around, enjoying each other’s company as seniors will do, when the topic of what hunting will be like 30 years in the future came up. We have both been around enough years to witness many changes in hunting in Pennsylvania. We remember when safety orange wasn’t mandatory. A hunter could only tag one deer per year. Antlerless permits were hard to come by. Crossbows were illegal. Small game was abundant, and fur prices were high. In some ways, it was the good old days. In other ways, today is better. Our biggest concern was the ever-increasing age of the average hunter here in Pennsylvania, now over 50 years of age and getting higher. As these older hunters drop out, and fewer young hunters taking up the pastime, what changes will be necessary? Let’s start with funding. While it’s true the Pa. Game Commission makes money from timber sales and mineral rights, both of which are a product of the state gamelands system, with fewer and fewer hunters buying licenses how long will it be before the taxpayer, not the hunter, will be saddled with the expense incurred by the commission? The only answer will be extra and increased taxes, just like most other states, so get ready to open your wallet. As trapper numbers go down, who is going to control muskrat and beaver populations? My guess is the government will need to somehow pay either to manage these species or at least to repair the damage to roadways caused by an over-abundance of rodent erosion. Will the remaining hunters be asked to control the deer population, or will paid sharpshooters be needed? Pennsylvania already holds top honors for most deer/auto collisions in the nation. Who will farmers go to for help if crop damage is out of control? Will the loss of license money cause the state to sell off state game lands? These properties are now paid for by the hunter, but are open to all to enjoy. It would be a shame for them to disappear. Will there be an overpopulation of bears, leading to more bear/human conflicts? Will diseases such as rabies, distemper, and mange run rampant as nature replaces the hunter? Will fewer people be interested in protecting our woods and waterways if they no longer have a personal interest in protecting them? Or will we simply turn them into more shopping centers? Will organizations such as the National Wild Turkey Federation and Ducks Unlimited, which spend thousands on land improvement and preservation, cease to exist? Then again, maybe life will be like a Disney movie and somehow suddenly everything will be great and mankind and nature will go skipping away hand in hand. What will the next 30, 50 or 100 years bring? Only time will tell, my friend, but until then we can only guess.What’s in New Hampshire’s new minimum public school standards

(Photo by Nick Spanos) Actor-comedian-singer Sandra Bernhard comes to Mill Valley on Tuesday. (Photo by Brian Ziegler) For Sandra Bernhard , the “Easy Listening” tour that brings her to Southern California this month is a homecoming of sorts, a return to the place where her comedy career first blossomed more than 45 years ago. “I kind of broke the mold,” Bernhard says of the style of comedy she embraced when she arrived in Los Angeles barely 20 years old. “I was post-feminist, very outspoken, a 20-, 21-year-old woman at the time. “The mold had been, you know, Joan Rivers and all the women of that era, who were amazing and brilliant and wonderful,” she says. “But they were stuck in that time where the women couldn’t talk about things that I talked about. There was self-deprecating and very like, ‘My husband this, my husband that.’ “I came along and said, ‘Well, we’ve done all this work to get where we’re at as women. I’m not going to go back and rely on that stuff.” So Bernhard, an actress and singer as well as a comic, did what she wanted no matter how unusual her act might have been for the times. “It was sort of like rock and roll meets cabaret meets, you know, irreverence and kind of a revolutionary approach,” Bernhard says. “Then, when I started adding in the music, it just made it even more based on everything I observed in terms of real entertainment. Which I love, but I just turned everything on its ear.” Bernhard returns to California from her base in New York City for shows in December, ranging from Palm Springs to Mill Valley to Beverly Hills. The show is titled “Easy Listening,” though it’s not so much soft rock as it is sharp edges, she says. Bernhard will perform at the Sweetwater Music Hall at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Admission is $86.01. Get tickets at sweetwatermusichall.org . In a pair of interviews edited for length and clarity, Bernhard talked about her mentors and friends at the Comedy Store in the ’70s, her feelings about the recent election, and a host of TV and film projects with which she’s been involved. Q The ‘Easy Listening’ show is described as a tour through your influences, musically, as you grew up – A – yeah, but that’s not really what the show is about. [laughs] I do a new show at Joe’s Pub [in New York City] probably every year and they ask you to describe the show. It’s more, these are ethereal kind of throwaways, you know, sketches of ideas that I have. I mean, the idea of easy listening, especially in today’s world, is more of a reflection on how it’s just the complete opposite. There’s really nothing easy to listen to unless you put on your records. Because I want to just tune out all of the noise, you know, of people I have no interest in hearing anymore. Q Do audiences feel different to you during the holiday season? A I mean, seasonally, everything feels different because it’s just the cycle of the earth and nature. Things do feel different. I haven’t really played in L.A. and that time of year in a long time. Certainly in New York, they do so at the holiday. But I’m sure that when I play around California there’ll be groovy holiday California vibes, for sure. Q At the time we talked earlier this year [before her spring shows were rescheduled to December] you were backing Joe Biden’s re-election bid. How’d you react to the results of the election? A I was disgusted. I was shocked. I was like, ‘This is it. America just cannot get ready for a woman.’ They certainly can’t get ready for a Black woman. We’re racist, we’re misogynistic, we’re not ready for prime time. And we will reap what we sow. Q So how do you address those kinds of heavy topics in a show where people have come for entertainment? A I don’t think I’m going to beat people over the head with it. I haven’t thought about it. I have a full show that doesn’t require me talking about it all if I decide I don’t want to talk about it. It might just be at the end of the show, because I always leave with some sort of message about people being responsible for themselves and for each other no matter what’s going on politically. So I’m sure that there will that, you know, with accelerant thrown on it. Q Let me ask you more about your start in L.A. in the ’70s. I’m sure at the time there was a lot of misogyny in the comedy world – A – guess what, there still is. [laughs]. It was hard. If I hadn’t had my mentor, Paul Mooney , who discovered me when I first started getting up to perform, to kind of protect me and advise me and give me the lowdown on everything, I probably wouldn’t have made it. He saw my potential. He believed in me and helped me nurture it. Without him, I wouldn’t have had the courage to do it. It’s sort of beautiful and poetic that an incredibly brilliant, handsome Black man was my guardian angel. And that also, like, freaked out people. So all the way around it was, ‘Who is this person and what is she all about?’ If you don’t have that, if people aren’t asking those questions, you’re probably never going to make an impact. Q I always loved your appearances on David Letterman’s shows in the ’80s and ’90s. You clearly seemed to be one of his favorite guests. A I mean, the brilliance about Letterman was I knew him from the Comedy Store in the ’70s. Not well, but I knew him. And because we came from that same background, I think he got a kick out of all the people that were in that world, and sort of let them do their own thing, or let me do my own thing, in his living room. That’s why it worked so well, because we all came from that place and we appreciated each other’s nuances and uniqueness. So it was a great place to come and be irreverent and crazy and funny and just turn it into a little piece of mini-theater. Q Around that same time, I saw Scorsese’s ‘King of Comedy,’ which is one of your great roles. How was that working with him and De Niro and Jerry Lewis at that early point in your career? A It was a total jumping-off for me. You know, everybody wanted that role. Many, many, many well-known, unknown, in-between actresses auditioned for that role. So when I got the call that I got it, it was phenomenal on every imaginable level. Then the experience of shooting it, waiting for it to come out, which took forever, which it shouldn’t have. When it finally did come out it was a game changer for me. Q You’ve got a few new TV and film roles: One of the Gray Sisters on Disney+’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians,’ Michelle Buteau’s Netflix series ‘Survival of the Thickest,’ and ‘Marty Supreme,’ the Timothée Chalamet ping-pong biopic. Tell me about playing the three Gray Sisters with Margaret Cho and Kristen Schall. A That was so fun because I’ve never had prosthetic makeup before so that was like a real trip. We all look so unique. We had these different gray wigs, very glamorous in a sort of funny way. Amazing costumes, amazing costumes, amazing makeup and special effects. We had a ball. Q The description of the Gray Sisters is that you are three old women who share one eye and one tooth and run a New York City taxi company. A Well, the teeth, the teeth didn’t work. We all had our own teeth. But we do share an eyeball and we keep passing them back and forth. It’s funny. I can’t imagine – I want to look because when you’re in the scene, you don’t really know how it’s being filmed or what it looks like. But it’ll be funny. Q How do you go about picking TV or movie projects? A Once you meet somebody and you know they have a show, you always go, ‘Wow, I’d love to work with you,’ so they know that. A lot of time, you see people, they don’t think you want to work with them. It wouldn’t cross their mind. So if I don’t want to work with them I don’t say anything. But if I do, I always do.No. 7 Alabama looks to remain in playoff contention with a visit to Oklahoma

NBA Best Bets: Cavaliers vs. Warriors Picks for December 30
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals will play in a primetime clash on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. That game will come after the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns suit up at 4:30 p.m., so the Steelers will know if they are playing for the AFC North title or just seeding. The Steelers could choose to rest starters if the Ravens win, but they will also want to play for seeding. There is a huge difference between playing the Houston Texans and the Ravens, at least on the betting market. Pittsburgh will look to finish the season out with a win over the Bengals, which would not only give them 11 wins but knock the Bengals out of the playoffs, thus ending their season. The Saturday game helps the Steelers on the other side for the playoffs as well. They will not have to play on a short week, even if they play on Saturday for a playoff clash with anyone. AFC North road teams are 2-13 in primetime matchups since 2019, so even though the Steelers have opened up as early underdogs, they have the advantage from that perspective.

The state’s top road safety bureaucrat has rejected suggestions that new high-tech cameras that can catch wrongdoers on West Australian roads en masse are revenue-raisers. Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner joined Road Safety Minister David Michael on Monday to announce the rollout of the six mobile cameras from Australia Day. Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner and Road Safety Minister David Michael. The smart cameras, leased for five years at a cost of $22 million, can easily spot motorists using their phones or driving without a seatbelt and will be deployed to deter the behaviours that make up a large reason for so many of the fatalities on WA roads. A camera pointed at just one lane on the Kwinana Freeway near Salter Point last month spotted more than 6300 people using their mobiles while driving, and 5100 not wearing their seatbelts. Had that camera been used to issue fines, it could have netted the Road Trauma Trust account anywhere from $5 million to $10 million, depending on the severity of the offences. The rollout of the new cameras will coincide with a three-month grace period where motorists breaking the law will be issues with a caution instead of a fine. Warner said this demonstrated the cameras were not about revenue-raising, but changing behaviours. “It’s anything but revenue raising, that’s why we’re doing caution notices,” he said. “This is about drivers changing their behaviour. We have a culture problem. We need to address it, and these cameras are the first step in doing that.” Warner said 99 per cent of people wore seatbelts, but 20 per cent of people who died in crashes weren’t wearing seatbelts. “That should tell you something,” he said. The announcement comes as WA records its worst road toll in almost 10 years, with 182 deaths. Michael said in this context now was the time for the technology to become a vital and permanent tool to be used across the state. “The message is clear and simple: these cameras are coming, slow down, buckle up and put your phone away,” he said.

About IGM IGM is an Australian company focused on exploring and extracting minerals essential to delivering a net zero emissions world and strives to be a carbon neutral mining operation. IGM is a multi-commodity mine with Gold, Kaolin and Silica. It also has data showing 6Rare earth minerals that it is proving out currently. Its current focus is on developing a major high- quality kaolin, silica and gold project located in NE Queensland, Australia, approximately 250 kilometres from the major seaport of Townsville, west of Charters Towers, and immediately north of the gold bearing district of Pentland. To provide a little background on only one of IGM's minerals - Gold. Significant test work has been carried out to define the gold reserves and to determine the maximum gold recovery. The test work done to date has included: An excerpt from work done by Gekko Metallurgical Laboratory stated, "The following conclusion can be made from testing the Jodo Gold Brilliant Brumby ore sample. The calculated head grade from the 54.32 kg Two Stage CGR test was 8.74 g/t Au. This compared well to the calculated head grade derived from the 1 kg grade by size analysis of the minus 1.18 mm feed, which was 8.38 g/t Au." The above test work shows that IGM has high grade gold deposits. Additionally, in "typical" mining operations, the operator must remove significant overburden to get to the gold bearing ore. IGM's overburden is the sellable products of kaolin and silica. This will result in IGM's gold reserves being one of, if not the lowest, cost gold mine in the world. Qualified Person The scientific and technical information in this release has been approved by Ross William McVicar Garling, a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and an independent consultant to IGM, who is a qualified person under NI 43-101.

(AP) — In a season that began with , it was apt watching Bills quarterback Josh Allen join coach Sean McDermott lay on the cold, wet sideline to make snow angels in celebrating Buffalo’s earliest clinching of a division title in team history. That Allen took part was no surprise. has maintained the happy-go-lucky approach he brought with him to Buffalo as a raw-talented athlete in 2018, while gradually blossoming into one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. For McDermott, it was a pleasant surprise to see the usually reserved eight-year coach finally let his hair down — figuratively, because the few jokes he does make are usually about being bald. With his latest do-it-all three-TD outing — one rushing, one receiving and, the coup de grace, being credited with receiving his own pass for a score off a lateral from Amari Cooper — , Allen continued making his strongest NFL MVP case. What’s also becoming apparent is how much McDermott deserves consideration for coach of the year honors. Without the two, the Bills (10-2) wouldn’t be in this position in becoming just the eighth NFL team — and first since Indianapolis in 2009 — to clinch a division title with at least five games remaining in their schedule. It’s reflective of how the two have grown together in what, on the outside, could be perceived as an odd couple relationship between an offensive-minded, swashbuckling quarterback and a defensive-minded coach, too often knocked for being too conservative. Perhaps, it’s Allen’s boyish nature that has brought out the risk-taker in McDermott, who has carried over the aggressive approach he takes to defense by placing trust in his quarterback. It’s become apparent in everything the Bills have accomplished so far in having at least 10 wins through 12 games for just the fifth time in team history, and first since 1991, when Buffalo was led by eventual Hall of Famers in coach Marv Levy and quarterback Jim Kelly. Buffalo has won seven straight since consecutive losses to Baltimore and Houston. And the Bills have scored 30 or more points in six straight outings, matching the team record set in 2004. that was supposed to be hampered following the offseason departures of receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and center Mitch Morse. The Bills are more balanced in leaning on their running attack, while Allen has also curtailed his turnover-prone ways. He's lost two fumbles and thrown just five interceptions after being picked off a career-worst 18 times last season. Meantime, McDermott has taken a different approach to fourth down situations. The Bills have converted 13 of 15 fourth down attempts after going 9 of 16 last season and 7 of 13 in 2022. The most fourth down attempts during McDermott’s tenure came in 2021, when Buffalo converted just 11 of 22. This is but an example of the bond the quarterback and coach have built in a shared objective of overcoming past playoff failures. Clinching a division title is but one step, with the Bills now focused on catching the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1), , for the AFC’s top seed. In calling it the team’s next goal, McDermott went off script from his usual game-at-a-time message by noting the importance of celebrating a division-clinching win, if only for one day. “Being 50 years old and 20-plus years in this league, I’ve learned to try and enjoy the moments,” McDermott said. “And this is a moment, right?” It certainly was. Turnover differential. Buffalo’s defense forced three fumbles, including one at its goal line, while the offense didn’t commit a giveaway. The Bills upped their league-leading turnover differential entering Monday to plus-17. Run defense. Though the conditions were snowy and slick, the Bills allowed 119 yards rushing in the first half before the 49ers were forced to start passing the ball once the score became lopsided. Buffalo particularly struggled in stopping Christian McCaffrey, who had 53 yards on seven carries . was in on five tackles while playing 37 of 48 defensive snaps in his first outing in nearly 14 months after being sidelined by a broken right leg and torn left biceps. CB Kaiir Elam, the 2022 first-round pick was a healthy inactive for a second straight outing, and still having difficulty finding a regular role. None reported. 9-0 — The Bills' home record going back to last season, marking their second-longest run in team history.

Losses for big technology stocks pulled major indexes lower on Wall Street. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3% from its record high a day earlier, and the Nasdaq composite lost 0.6%. Losses for Nvidia, Microsoft and Broadcom were the biggest weights on the market. Dell sank 12.2% after reporting revenue that fell shy of forecasts, and HP dropped 11.4% after giving a weaker-than-expected outlook. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. U.S. financial markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks wavered in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as losses for several Big Tech companies offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% in afternoon trading, even though more stocks were rising than falling in the index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 135 points, or 0.3%, as of 3:05 p.m. Eastern time. Both indexes set records on Tuesday. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%. Losses for tech heavyweights helped pull the broader market lower. Semiconductor giant Nvidia slipped 1.6%. Its huge value gives it outsized influence on market indexes. Microsoft fell 0.9% Several personal computer makers added to Big Tech's heavy weight on the market following their latest earnings reports. HP sank 11.8% after giving investors a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast for its current quarter. Dell slumped 11.9% after its latest quarterly revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts. Gains for financial and health care companies helped counter Big Tech's downward pull. Visa rose 0.9% and Thermo Fisher Scientific added 2.3%. The U.S. economy expanded at a healthy 2.8% annual pace from July through September, according to the Commerce Department, leaving its original estimate of third-quarter growth unchanged. The growth was driven by strong consumer spending and a surge in exports. The update follows a report on Tuesday from the Conference Board that said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Consumers have been driving economic growth, but the latest round of earnings reports from retailers shows a mixed and more cautious picture. Department store operator Nordstrom fell 8.5% after warning investors about a trend toward weakening sales that started in late October. Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters jumped 19.1% after beating analysts’ third-quarter financial forecasts. Weeks earlier, retail giant Target gave investors a discouraging forecast for the holiday season, while Walmart provided a more encouraging forecast. Consumers, though resilient, are still facing pressure from inflation. The latest update from the U.S. government shows that inflation accelerated last month. The personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE, rose to 2.3% in October from 2.1% in September. Overall, the rate of inflation has been falling broadly since it peaked more than two years ago. The PCE, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, was just below 7.3% in June of 2022. Another measure of inflation, the consumer price index, peaked at 9.1% at the same time. The latest inflation data, though, is a sign that the rate of inflation seems to be stalling as it falls to within range of the Fed's target of 2%. The central bank started raising its benchmark interest rate from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023 and held it there in order to tame inflation. The Fed started cutting its benchmark interest rate in September, followed by a second cut in November. Wall Street expects a similar quarter-point cut at the central bank's upcoming meeting in December. “Today’s data shouldn’t change views of the likely path for disinflation, however bumpy," said David Alcaly, lead macroeconomic strategist at Lazard Asset Management. "But a lot of observers, probably including some at the Fed, are looking for reasons to get more hawkish on the outlook given the potential for inflationary policy change like new tariffs.” President-elect Donald Trump has said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China when he takes office in January. That could shock the economy by raising prices on a wide range of goods and accelerating the rate of inflation. Such a shift could prompt the Fed to rethink future cuts to interest rates. Treasury yields slipped in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.25% from 4.30% late Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which more closely follows expected actions by the Fed, fell to 4.22% from 4.25% late Tuesday. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday.
