Posted by admin

in News

(Reuters) - Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) Markets finally on Tuesday got the share bounce that was predicted for last week's much-hyped Nasdaq launch, jumping as much as 29% as investors followed influential fund manager Cathie Wood into the stock. Shares of the online brokerage tumbled 8% in its listing last Thursday, surprising analysts who had expected strong support from the small-time traders that it services and for whom it had taken the unusual step of reserving 20%-35% of shares in the flotation. Filings, however, have since shown that company executives sold shares a day before the launch, with...

Posted by admin

in News

(Bloomberg) -- U.S. household debt rose at the fastest pace since 2013 in the second quarter, driven by a mortgage boom as Americans took advantage of low borrowing costs and sought more space to work from home.

Most of the increase came in mortgage balances. With the average 30-year rate declining in the period, millions of Americans with good credit took the...

Clorox Tanks On Hit From Inflation, Weaker Demand By Investing.com

Posted by admin

in News

By Dhirendra Tripathi Investing.com – Clorox (NYSE:CLX) stock plummeted 11% in Tuesday’s premarket trading as inflation and weaker demand for cleaning products dented its fourth-quarter sales and profits. The company was a major beneficiary of the pandemic-induced scare as well as urge among the consumers to stock up on anything they thought would keep germs and viruses away. Cleaning of surfaces several times during the day became the norm. Sales of cleaning agents, disinfectants and sanitizers boomed then. The elevated demand came off in the June quarter as vaccinations gathered pace, the scare weakened, and people...

Australia central bank will trim bond buying even as Delta variant slams economy By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's central bank surprised markets on Tuesday by standing its ground on a decision to taper its bond buying programme from September even as a fast-spreading Delta variant wrecks havoc in the economy. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept its cash rate at 0.1% for its eighth straight meeting, in a widely expected move. It reiterated interest rates will not be raised until inflation was sustainably within its 2-3% target band, a goal unlikely to be met before 2024. The RBA also affirmed its decision made in July to trim its...

in News

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone producer prices accelerated in June, driven by a further surge in energy prices and underscoring the view that inflation in the single currency area has further to rise.

The latter figure was little different from the 10.3% average expectation in a Reuters poll of economists and marked a seventh-month rising trend since a 2.0% decrease in November. In May, prices were...
