☆ Qantas flight makes emergency landing after engine failure

Sydney Reuters —A Qantas Airways plane bound for Brisbane suffered an engine failure after takeoff on Friday and circled for a short period of time before returning safely to Sydney Airport, the Australian airline said. The airline said its engineers had conducted a preliminary inspection of the engine and confirmed it was a contained engine failure, meaning the internal engine parts stayed within the protective housing designed to keep them safely enclosed. Uncontained engine failures, where engine fragments fly out of this housing, can result in serious damage to the main body of an aircraft. Qantas flight QF520 took off from Sydney at 12:35 p.m. (8.35 p.m. Thursday ET), circled a few times and diverted to land at Sydney, tracking data from Flightradar24 showed. Qantas said the plane landed safely after appropriate procedures were conducted and added it would be investigating the cause of the engine issue.

On Thursday, the Federal Open Market Committee announced a 25-basis-point interest-rate cut after a 50-basis-point cut in September. AdvertisementGiven the lag in monetary policy, the interest-rate cuts won't give Americans immediate relief on their credit cards, housing, or car loans. Still, some Democratic lawmakers urged the Fed to implement another 50-basis-point cut to give Americans more financial relief.

☆ Elon Musk bet big on Trump. Here’s what he stands to gain — and lose — from his win
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-06 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

New York CNN —No single business leader did more to support former President Donald Trump’s candidacy than Elon Musk. Musk has donated nearly $119 million so far to a political action committee he set up to support Trump, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Elon Musk steps onto stage as Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump addresses a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on October 5. It will only help Tesla,” Musk posted on X in July. It’s not likely Trump would want to cut that support, and the promise of jobs in those states, even if they will eventually provide competition for Musk and Tesla.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk and his business empire stand to reap massive rewards if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House. Elon Musk joins former US President Donald Trump during a campaign event in Butler, Pa., on Oct. 5, 2024. “I love Elon Musk,” Trump said at a rally in July. It’s not clear how Musk and Trump would navigate the ethical questions around a possible government role for the tech billionaire. “He would be in much less trouble in a Trump administration because Trump shares his hostility to regulation and regulators,” Richard Pierce, a law professor at George Washington University specializing in government regulation, told NBC News in an interview earlier this year.

Boeing machinists approved a new labor deal Monday that ends a more than seven-week strike that halted most of the company’s aircraft production. Machinists voted 59% in favor of the new contract, which includes 38% wage increases over four years. It was their third vote since walking off the job on Sept. 13 when they overwhelmingly rejected an earlier proposal promising 25% raises, far short of the 40% the union sought.

Due to this, Piper Sandler has unveiled a list of stocks that it views as most sensitive to government spending. "If Trump wins, these stocks are likely to be hurt by cuts in government spending," Piper Sandler's chief investment strategist Michael Kantrowitz said in a recent note to clients. The company was the top recipient of defense contracts from the Department of Defense in fiscal 2023, being awarded $61.4 billion in defense spending. During September's presidential debate, Trump clashed with Harris over funding efforts, with Harris accusing Trump of being prepared to abandon consistent U.S. support for Ukraine . In that area, Humana , which offers Medicare Advantage plans, and UnitedHealth are two names Piper Sandler thinks could be affected.
