NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are drifting Monday ahead of a meeting by the Federal Reserve later this week that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% in afternoon trading, coming off its first losing week in the last four . The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 30 points, or 0.1%, as of 2:08 p.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite rose 1.2%. MicroStrategy climbed 6% as it continues to benefit from the surging price for bitcoin , which set another record. The software company has been building its hoard of the cryptocurrency, and its stock price has more than sextupled this year. It will soon join the Nasdaq 100 index. Bitcoin is hovering around $107,000 after earlier surpassing that amount, according to CoinDesk. It’s catapulted from roughly $44,000 at the start of the year, riding a recent wave of enthusiasm that President-elect Donald Trump will create a system that’s more favorable to digital currencies . The market’s main event, though, will arrive on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve will announce its last move on interest rates for the year. The widespread expectation is that it will cut its main rate for a third straight time, as it tries to give a boost to the slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its target of 2%. The question is how much more it will cut rates next year, and Fed officials will release projections for where they see the federal funds rate ending 2025, along with other economic indicators, once their meeting concludes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also answer questions in a press conference following the meeting. For now, the general expectation among traders is that the Fed may cut two more times in 2025, according to data from CME Group. But that number has been shrinking following reports suggesting inflation may be tougher to get all the way down to 2% from here. Besides last month’s slight acceleration in inflation, another worry is that Trump’s preferences for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation down the line. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year and is heading for one of its best years of the millennium . The economy has held up better than many feared, continuing to grow even after the Fed hiked the federal funds rate to a two-decade high in hopes of grinding down on inflation, which topped 9% two summers ago. On Wall Street, Broadcom leaped 10.7% to help lead the S&P 500 for a second straight day after delivering a profit report last week that beat analysts' expectations. The technology company also gave a forecast for upcoming revenue that topped expectations, highlighting its artificial-intelligence offerings. Honeywell rose 3.8% after saying it's still considering a spin-off or sale of its aerospace business, as part of a review of its overall business. It said it plans to give an update with the release of its fourth-quarter results. They helped offset a drop for Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world's move into AI. Its stock fell 2.3%. Because it's grown so massive, with a total value topping $3 trillion, it was by far the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was at 4.40%, where it was late Friday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged down to 4.24% from 4.25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell modestly across much of Europe and Asia. They sank 0.9% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in Shanghai after China reported lackluster economic indicators for November despite attempts to strengthen the world’s second-largest economy. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2% as law enforcement authorities pushed to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree, and the Constitutional Court met to discuss whether to remove him from office or reinstate him.

These health centers are located throughout the country and serve as the cornerstone of the public health system, ensuring accessible and quality healthcare to communities. In Quezon City, one of the barangay health centers is the Krus na Ligas Health Center located along Lt. J. Francisco St. in Barangay Krus na Ligas. It is under the Quezon City Health Department and serves residents of Barangay Krus na Ligas, UP Campus and Teachers’ Village West translating into 73,647 residents. Among the services being provided at the health center are Medical Consultation, Dental Consultation, Maternal and Child Health Care, National Immunization Program, Family Planning Services, National Tuberculosis Program, Environmental Sanitation, Laboratory Services, Monitoring and Tracking of Communicable diseases. The Quezon City Health Department seeks to provide citizens with innovative, technology-driven, hybrid health services through a public-private alliance, a functional service delivery network, and sustainable financing policies and resources. To achieve this, the city government has partnered with the private sector. One of its partners is SM Foundation, the CSR arm of the SM Group. Recently, SM Foundation turned over a retrofitted Krus na Ligas Health Center to the city government of Quezon led by Mayor Joy Belmonte—after just 13 weeks of rehabilitation work. SM Foundation undertook a comprehensive overhaul of the health center. Its layout and design were updated. It was also provided with new medical tools and equipment. The SM Foundation team ensured the rehabilitation works adhere to DOH standards and incompliance with the Quezon City Health Department’s initiative to upgrade the center’s status into a Primary Care Facility by January 2025. Aside from gaining PhilHealth accreditation, the improvement of the center aims to provide a consistent level of care while continuously improving on its practices and services. Aligning with the #SMGreenMovement and Quezon City LGU’s Green Initiative, sustainable solutions were integrated in the center’s physical infrastructure. A rainwater catchment system was installed as an additional water source for handwashing and other needs of the facility; energy-efficient LED lighting fixtures were installed and inverter appliances were provided to help reduce its ecological footprint; and air-cleaning paints were utilized to further promote a healthier environment. With the renovation and refurbishment, the health center now boasts of a dedicated breastfeeding area, reception area, lounge for the elderly and pregnant patients, children’s play area, pharmacy, dental clinic, and a Teen Hub, a safe space for the adolescents dedicated to providing guidance and counselling in a safe and supportive environment. An Emergency Shower and Eyewash Station was also installed by SM Foundation to provide on-the-spot decontamination to flush hazardous products from patients during emergencies. The Krus na Ligas Health Center brings the number of SM Foundation’s wellness center to 214.
