Harley-Davidson said Monday that it’s ending diversity and other progressive initiatives at the company. Harley-Davidson is the latest major American brand to backtrack from DEI policies it had supported in recent years. Harley-Davidson faced pressure online from Robby Starbuck, a conservative activist who has successfully taken on DEI policies at several American companies. The company also said it would end its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBTQ+ advocacy group. Harley-Davidson joins Tractor Supply and John Deere to backtrack on policies following pressure campaigns led by Starbuck.

☆ Steve Harley, ‘Make Me Smile’ Singer, Dies at 73
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-17 | by ( Orlando Mayorquín | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

Steve Harley, the 1970s British rock star who topped U.K. music charts with the single “Make Me Smile,” died on Sunday. No cause was given but Mr. Harley had announced last month that he would step away from the stage to undergo treatment for cancer and previously canceled several concerts scheduled for this year. Mr. Harley was the frontman of the band Cockney Rebel, which he formed in the early 1970s. His biggest hit was the 1975 single “Make Me Smile,” in which Mr. Harley’s even-keeled vocals and melancholic lyrics cruise over instrumentals bearing the optimistic sound distinct to bands of the era. The song hit the top of the British charts in February of that year.

Triumph said it has received orders for over 14,000 Speed 400 bikes, exceeding its total India sales of the past decade.

☆ What cooling inflation and the Fed's reaction mean for these winning ETF trades

The combination of cooling prices and a less aggressive Fed could put pressure on a group of ETFs designed to counter inflation or rising rates — or both — that has attracted significant investor interest this year. Rising rate ETFs For example, the Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF (PFIX) , which has more than $350 million in assets under management, fell 2.8% on Tuesday.

☆ Harley-Davidson shares could fall nearly 20% as growth story 'lacks legs,' Jefferies says

Harley-Davidson shares dipped 1.7% in the premarket. In the fourth quarter, Harley-Davidson shares have shot up 38%, outpacing the S & P 500's 10.4% gain. But Glaessgen said "the recent retail inflection lacks legs," noting those who are bullish on the stock underestimate the challenge of growing its consumer base. "We believe ridership growth and expansion beyond the core will be easier said than done," she said. These growth hopes will likely also be tempered by increased competition in the e-motorcycle division as well as consumer spending changes during a recessionary period.

☆ The head of ETF strategy at $19.5 billion Allianz shares how to manage risk with the Federal Reserve forced to 'strangle the economy' to slow inflation
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Or, in the words of Johan Grahn, the head of ETF strategy at $19.5 billion Allianz Investment Management, it was "not necessarily earth-shattering." "There's no doubt that they will have to strangle the economy," Grahn said of the US central bank in an interview with Insider on Wednesday afternoon. Consequences of higher rates include lower corporate earnings and stock valuations, slower growth, and a higher unemployment rate. But hoping for higher unemployment at the expense of lower inflation could easily backfire, Grahn warned, just like the US central bank's plan to get higher inflation while bringing down unemployment did. How to invest as recession risk risesInvestors can manage risk in their portfolios as inflation stays hot and the economy weakens by using a buffer strategy, Grahn said.
