By Simon Jessop LONDON (Reuters) – Global shares rose for the 11th day in a row to reach a fresh peak on optimism about the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and new fiscal aid from Washington, while tensions in the Middle East drove oil to a 13-month high. As more people are vaccinated across key markets such as the United States, and with U.S. President Joe Biden looking to pump an extra $1.9 trillion in stimulus into the economy, the so-called reflation trade has gathered steam in recent days.

Benzinga Apple Expected To Join The $100 Billion Revenue Club When Earnings Are Released Did someone say $100 billion? And then some? Wall Street analysts did. A consensus sees Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) as joining that rarefied corporate crowd that’s broken the $100 billion in quarterly revenues mark when it opens the books Wednesday on its fiscal Q1. That’s a record for AAPL, of course, and may have been assisted by holiday sales of its new iPhone 12. But it’s one in a series of fresh… Source link

Subscribe to The Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast On the final Sunday night of the 2020 regular season, to the horror of nearly every NFL fan (particularly a large portion of the ones in the New York city area), the Philadelphia Eagles pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts in favor of backup Nate Sudfeld for no clear reason, gifting in the process, a division championship to their rivals the Washington Football Team.

The Buffalo Bills hadn’t won a division title since 1995, but approached the offseason like they were ready to break that streak. They paid a lot to get receiver Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings in a trade. The Bills made several shrewd free-agent moves to help depth. They drafted players who could help right away, like running back Zack Moss, receiver Gabriel Davis and kicker Tyler Bass. Presumably, two basic factors went into their decision to be aggressive. They liked their core…. Source link

Kevin Durant was the best player on the court Friday night in Boston. That should scare the hell out of the rest of the East and the NBA. It was his second game back after missing 18 months and an entire season with a torn Achilles, and while he was not moving at pre-injury speeds, Durant is still a 7-foot sharpshooter with a release over his head covers up any step he may have lost. And he may not have lost that much, against Boston (and against Washington earlier in the week) Durant showed… Source link

With Alex Smith injured and Dwayne Haskins struggling, the Washington Football Team didn’t have much to offer offensively on Sunday. It didn’t need it. Led by rookie pass rusher Chase Young, the Washington defense dominated the San Francisco 49ers to log a 23-15 win without scoring a touchdown on offense. Young showed off the skills that made him the No. 2 pick in the draft, logging six tackles, a sack, two pass deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery and 47-yard return for… Source link

Week after week, as the losses piled up, so did the jokes, the taunts and the social media posts of burning dumpsters or sinking ships. Heading into Thanksgiving weekend, the NFC East’s four teams – Dallas, the New York Giants, Philadelphia and Washington – were a miserable 2-19-1 combined against non-divisional opponents. The NFC East was the football’s gift to cheap and easy one-liners. It was about the only thing it was good for. Well, the NFL season is long. Teams grow while others… Source link
