Trump Slams Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show as “Un-American”

                                                       Bad Bunny and Donald Trump  Former President Donald Trump sharply criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it “a slap in the face” to the United States. In a post-game reaction, Trump argued that the Spanish-language performance failed to represent American culture and claimed it was inappropriate for a national event watched by millions of families. His comments quickly ignited debate, with supporters echoing concerns about cultural representation and critics accusing him of dismissing the diversity that defines modern American entertainment. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most streamed artists, has not publicly responded, but the conversation around the show continues to dominate post–Super Bowl chatter.

Stocks close mixed as tech pares losses


On Tuesday, January 9, 2024, the US stock market closed with mixed results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) slipped 0.4% or about 150 points. The benchmark S&P 500 ( ^GSPC) fell by nearly 0.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC) crawled above the flatline, in a reversal of earlier losses. The tech rally wavered after a Samsung profit warning took the shine off the sector. Samsung’s update weighed on hopes for a rebound in the PC and mobile sector, a key market for its memory chips. The Korean company said it expects a 35% drop in fourth-quarter operating income, far short of estimates, as demand continues to lag.

Investors are focusing on the December consumer inflation reading due Thursday and what it could mean for the chances of easing interest rates. Two Federal Reserve officials on Monday poured cold water on Wall Street’s already fading expectations that a cut could come in the next few months. The idea that inflation is cooling underpins investors’ belief that the US economy will skirt recession. That conviction faces a crucial test on Friday, when big banks kick off the fourth-quarter earnings season.

Oil prices ( CL=F) ( BZ=F) rose just under 2%, recouping some of Monday’s near 4% fall as investors weighed the impact of tensions in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia’s decision to cut crude prices.
