▼ + stars: | 2025-01-03 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

New York CNN —Millions of Americans have watched their net worth spike since the pandemic, powered by meteoric gains in the stock market. The fear is that this could set the stage for a market drop so painful that it endangers the overall economy. Investors must think carefully about how much risk they are taking.”Of course, it’s notoriously difficult to time the stock market. Ed Yardeni, president of investment advisory Yardeni Research, warns that the stock market will get “spooked” if a bond market selloff pushes the 10-year Treasury yield close to 5%. “We could see a pullback, but I think it would be temporary and perhaps healthy, preparing the stock market for the next leg up.”

CNN —After four unsuccessful years trying to identify the person who placed two viable pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters, the FBI is hoping that allegiances have changed and someone is ready to talk. “Maybe allegiances have changed or relationships have changed and it’s time to report” on the suspect, Sundberg said. Another video shows previously unreleased footage with a new angle of the person placing a bomb under a bench near the DNC. Sundberg said “there’s no doubt” both bombs were viable and noted that the FBI has reviewed 39,000 video files and sifted through more than 600 tips. Federal Bureau of Investigation“The case has been hampered by the difficulty in identifying the suspect,” Sundberg said.

☆ January gets off to a rocky start. Why it's an important month for sentiment
▼ + stars: | 2025-01-02 | by ( Sarah Min | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Though the S & P 500 gained 23% in 2024, it dropped 2.5% in December, a rare bit of weakness in what's usually a strong month for the broader index. January got off to a rocky start, with the S & P 500 sliding after giving up an earlier gain on Thursday. According to Strategas, in the years when January is positive, the S & P 500 averages a 6.9% gain on a six-month forward basis. Investors should also pay close attention to market breadth, as a return in internal momentum is key to the rally, Verrone said. With just 20% of the S & P 500 trading above their 50-day moving averages, internal momentum appears nearly oversold, he added.

Barkley has 2,005 rushing yards this season, just 101 yards away from Dickerson’s record of 2,105 he set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams when NFL teams only played 16 games per regular season; teams now play 17. “It’s a team record that everybody is involved in, so you weigh in all those things. Through Week 17, Barkley leads the NFL with 345 carries, 2,005 rushing yards, 125.3 yards per game, 378 touches and 2,283 scrimmage yards.

☆ Quadrantid meteor shower: How to watch
▼ + stars: | 2025-01-02 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

The best time to spot the meteor shower will be during the hours before dawn, according to EarthSky. The waxing crescent moon, only 11% full, will set well before midnight, allowing unhampered viewing of the meteor shower, Lunsford said. Like the Geminid meteor shower, the Quadrantids come from a mysterious asteroid or “rock comet,” rather than an icy comet, which is unusual. As a result, the comet left behind many celestial offspring known collectively as the Machholz Complex, which includes the Quadrantid meteor shower’s parent bodies Comet 96P/Machholz and asteroid 2003 EH1, as well as two different comet groups and eight meteor showers, according to EarthSky. Meteor showers of 2025After the Quadrantids, there is a bit of a lull in meteor shower activity, and the next one won’t occur until April.

☆ American Feelings About the Economy Are Increasingly About Politics

Politics colors a lot of the way businesses and consumers say they see the world around them, including when it comes to money. "The thing is that people across the population really disagree on whether or not these policy changes are a good thing or a bad thing for the economy." Overall, the response is fairly logical — if you think what's to come is good for you, you feel good about it. What makes this even more complicated is what consumers say they feel isn't even reflected in what they do. Economic sentiment is, of course, an economic indicator, but it's also a political indicator.

High-yield savings accounts are still topping out around 4.5%, beating the 2.7% annual inflation rate as of November.

Rome CNN —Cigarettes have long been associated with fashion so much so that they remain an occasional feature of runways. Smoking, like the color black, seems to never go out of style in the fashion world. But stylish or not, as of Jan. 1, 2025, smoking is outlawed in “all public spaces, including streets” in Milan, Italy’s financial and fashion capital, meaning anyone who lights up outside faces fines between $41 and $249 (€40 - €240). The move marks the toughest smoking ban in Italy, where nearly a quarter of the population smokes, according to the country’s health ministry. In Rome, many restaurants allow smoking at outdoor tables and all major Italian airports have smoking rooms inside the terminals.
