Fresno Firefighters Tackle Another Structure Blaze. How Many Have There Been This Year?NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks tiptoed to more records amid a mixed Tuesday of trading, tacking a touch more onto what’s already been a stellar year so far. The S&P 500 edged up by 2 points, or less than 0.1%, to set an all-time high for the 55th time this year. It’s climbed in 10 of the last 11 days and is on track for one of its best years since the turn of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 76 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.4% to its own record set a day earlier. AT&T rose 4.6% after it boosted its profit forecast for the year. It also announced a $10 billion plan to send cash to its investors by buying back its own stock, while saying it expects to authorize another $10 billion of repurchases in 2027. On the losing end of Wall Street was U.S. Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan’s Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. Nippon Steel announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden also came out against the acquisition. Tesla sank 1.6% after a judge in Delaware reaffirmed a previous ruling that the electric car maker must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. The judge denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. All told, the S&P 500 rose 2.73 points to 6,049.88. The Dow fell 76.47 to 44,705.53, and the Nasdaq composite gained 76.96 to 19,480.91. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. employers were advertising slightly more job openings at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could remain out of a recession that many investors had earlier worried was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.23% from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump’s preferences for lower tax rates and bigger tariffs could spur higher inflation along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate again at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the monthly jobs report , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November. It could be difficult to parse given how much storms and strikes distorted figures in October. Based on trading in the options market, Friday’s jobs report appears to be the biggest potential market mover until the Fed announces its next decision on interest rates Dec. 18, according to strategists at Barclays Capital. In financial markets abroad, the value of South Korea’s currency fell 1.1% against the U.S. dollar following a frenetic night where President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and then later said he’d lift it after lawmakers voted to reject military rule. Stocks of Korean companies that trade in the United States also fell, including a 1.6% drop for SK Telecom. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.9% to help lead global markets. Some analysts think Japanese stocks could end up benefiting from Trump’s threats to raise tariffs , including for goods coming from China . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies subject to export controls to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software. The 140 companies newly included in the so-called “entity list” are nearly all based in China. In China, stock indexes rose 1% in Hong Kong and 0.4% in Shanghai amid unconfirmed reports that Chinese leaders would meet next week to discuss planning for the coming year. Investors are hoping it may bring fresh stimulus to help spur growth in the world’s second-largest economy. In France, the CAC 40 rose 0.3% amid continued worries about politics in Paris , where the government is battling over the budget.

Sindh Premium Property Exhibition attracts provincial lawmakersThe Pittsburgh Steelers will be asking their receiving core to complete a very tall task: fill George Pickens' shoes for the near future. There have been mixed reports on his return time. Some think that he will only miss the team's upcoming Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and others see him coming back around Week 18. With how finicky hamstring injuries can be, there is no telling when he will return, and if he will be at full strength whenever he finally does return to the field. One of the receivers that is expected to take on an expanded role is Mike Williams . The trade acquisition had just three receptions for 36 yards in the team's Week 14 game. Now that they are actually preparing for life without Pickens, Williams will hopefully get more targets and touches and show why the Steelers acquired him in the first place. On Pro Football Talk , Mike Florio talked about how he needs to see more out of Williams in his "Show Me Something" segment, and he mentioned that this is the perfect time for the veteran receiver to prove himself in this offense. "Show me something, Mike Williams... Mike Tomlin, in one of his great sound bites, said after last week's win over the Browns, 'Maybe one of these days you'll start believing me when I tell you the other receivers are pretty good...' This is his opportunity, as we're getting closer to the postseason. If they're going to rest Pickens until he's 100%, they need one of the other receivers to step up. Williams is the most accomplished of the bunch by far. This is his moment. This is his time in Philadelphia, chance for the Steelers to win their first game in Philadelphia since [October] 1965. Show me something, Mike Williams." Williams has had a rough time in Pittsburgh so far. His first catch for the Steelers was certainly a memorable one, but he was not even targeted over the next three weeks. He was not even supposed to be on the field when he caught the touchdown pass against the Washington Commanders. The Steelers wanted to slowly get Williams acclimated to their offense, which is why they have not given him many looks. However, he has been with the Steelers for five weeks and was even named as a starter against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14 to fill in for Pickens. They need him to show up and make an impact now. Steelers May Have To Win Another Shootout The Eagles have won nine games in a row entering this match with Pittsburgh. On top of that, Saquon Barkley is on pace to have the single greatest season by a running back in NFL history. Nothing about this game will be easy for the Steelers, and they will need every able body to do some work to keep the game close, let alone win in Philadelphia. Williams needs to be a part of that effort. While he is not as talented as Pickens, he plays a very similar style as him: big receiver that can go deep and catch the contested 50/50 ball more than 50% of the time. With how Russell Wilson loves his "moon ball," Williams should be ready to take over the game. Not only does Williams need to ball out to secure victory, but he needs it so he can secure himself a job in 2025. He signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets before being traded to Pittsburgh. If he can't produce in this brutal stretch run, he may just have to hope for a backup role somewhere. If he does well, he should not have a problem getting another contract, whether it's in Pittsburgh or somewhere else entirely.
