Hong Kong CNN Business —China’s yuan hovered near record lows against the US dollar on the offshore market on Thursday, as major currencies around the world continue to tumble after the Federal Reserve’s aggressive hikes. The yuan — also known as the renminbi —has been declining for months despite interventions by China’s central bank. The fall comes despite People’s Bank of China warning traders on Wednesday not to bet on the currency’s continued depreciation.

A FedEx last-mile delivery van is seen near a FedEx Ground distribution center in Carson, California, U.S., September 16, 2022. Last week, FedEx withdrew the financial forecast it issued just three months ago, adding to investor frustrations about a delay in turnaround. Some analysts said FedEx had enough room to cut costs and pricing power was holding up, for now. "There is abundant evidence that there are excess costs at FedEx, which could be trimmed with proper management focus and execution," Credit Suisse analysts said.

FedEx said it expects cost savings between $2.2 billion and 2.7 billion in fiscal 2023, amid weaking demand due to a weaker-than-expected business environment. The cost savings will come from reducing flight frequencies at FedEx Express, suspending certain operations at FedEx Ground, among other measures, the company said. The company's quarterly net profit fell to $875 million, or $3.33 per share, from $1.11 billion, or $4.09 per share, a year earlier.

A FedEx Ground truck drives near a FedEx regional hub at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California, U.S., September 16, 2022. Investors, already frustrated by last year's overly optimistic estimate for the holiday shopping season, were disappointed with its profit warning on Sept. 15. Reuters spoke with Bradshaw and five other investors who bought FedEx stock when it looked cheap versus its more profitable and better performing rival United Parcel Service (UPS.N), believing a FedEx business revamp promised healthy returns. FedEx warned business conditions would worsen in the current quarter, which ends as the key Christmas package delivery season begins. Late last month, FedEx told Reuters it was confident in its "stress tested" holiday forecast for this year.

Online sales started fizzling during last year's peak delivery season from Thanksgiving weekend through the end of the year. That could outpace peak season demand by 18 million packages per day, according to Satish Jindel, a consultant whose holiday peak volume forecasts are closely watched by delivery firms. During the 2020 and 2021 holiday peak delivery seasons, demand outstripped capacity by 7.2 million and 1.3 million packages per day, respectively, Jindel said.

The White House struck a tentative deal Thursday to avoid a rail strike that risked major disruptions across the United States, with freight workers securing a key demand. Pandemic pressures, including those that scrambled supply chains, worked in freight workers’ favor, logistics experts said. A rail strike would dent many industries, as about 40% of goods that are shipped long-distance rely on the nation’s rail system. Rail workers often are on-call 24/7 year-round and are allotted time off only after being called to a number of consecutive on-call shifts. A labor union source told NBC News that getting rail carriers to negotiate on attendance policies was a major breakthrough.

☆ UN report on China’s Uyghurs: What you need to know

CNN —Just minutes before the end of her term on Wednesday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights dropped a damning report on China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. China has repeatedly and vehemently denied accusations of human rights abuses in the region, and decried the UN report on Wednesday as “based on the disinformation and lies fabricated by anti-China forces.”Here’s what you need to know. The 45-page report was the final offering from Michelle Bachelet, the head of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), whose term ended at midnight Geneva time. China responded to the report with its own 131-page document, saying the UN’s investigation “distorts” China’s laws and policies. However, activists and overseas Uyghurs have welcomed the report as a symbolic step and a new level of recognition by the UN of the human rights violations alleged in Xinjiang.

Copiii din Marea Britanie cel mai puternic afectați de pandemia de COVID-19 au înregistrat un regres la competențele de bază ca urmare a închiderii școlilor și a restricțiilor de circulație, a avertizat organizaţia Ofsted de monitorizare a instituțiilor educaționale. BUCUREŞTI, 10 nov – Sputnik. Pe de altă parte, după cum a subliniat organizaţia, copiii care au beneficiat de sprijin susţinut în familie au arătat progrese în ciuda restricţiilor şi întreruperii cursurilor. Când a venit primul val al pandemiei de COVID-19 în primăvară, multe școli din Marea Britanie au optat pentru învățarea la distanță, deși copiilor lucrătorilor esențiali din prima linie li s-a permis să participe la cursuri în clasă. Luni, Departamentul pentru Sănătate și Asistență Socială din Marea Britanie a înregistrat 21.350 de cazuri noi de COVID-19, ceea ce a dus totalul cazurilor din țară la peste 1,2 milioane.
