(CNN Español) – Fue llamado el “milagro navideño”, una muestra de fe, esperanza, inteligencia, trabajo en equipo e instinto de supervivencia que conmovió al mundo entero.

Al día siguiente, el 13 de octubre, decidieron despegar. En el trayecto, la aeronave sufrió un brutal impacto en plena cordillera de los Andes, a más de 3.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar.“Estábamos volando desde Mendoza para Santiago, los picos empezaron a verse un poco cerca, cada vez estaban más cerca.

Stock market today: Wall St. ticks lower ahead of jobs report; inflation in Europe back on the rise

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:26:51 GMT

Wall Street edged lower Friday ahead of the release of the December jobs report, which is expected to show that the labor market remained sturdy in the final month of 2023.Futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were each down 0.3% before the bell.Economists expect the jobs report to show U.S. hiring slowed to 160,000 jobs last month from 199,000 in November, though the latter number was slightly inflated by the return of thousands of auto workers and actors who had been on strike.The hope is that the economy will remain just strong enough to stave off recession without reversing progress in taming inflation. The Federal Reserve is watching to see if current trends continue as it weighs the possibility of cutting interest rates. The latest inflation data from the consumer and wholesale levels are due out next week.Rate cuts give a boost to prices for stocks and other investments, while also relaxing the pressure on the economy and financial system. “Sentimen...

Entonces, es justo que le haya dado a su ciudad natal el regalo de su último momento revolucionario en Internet: una campaña publicitaria de ropa interior que marca su debut para Calvin Klein.Tomadas por el fotógrafo Mert Alas, las imágenes de la campaña muestran a White retozando en una azotea bañada por el sol, sin camisa o sin pantalones, y a veces ambas cosas. (En todos los casos, usa lo que Calvin Klein describe como su ropa interior “más emblemática”). Cuando usa una camisa, es una clásica cam...

BRUSSELS — The trade relationship between the EU and China took another hit on Friday as China announced it would investigate whether European producers of liquors are dumping their products on its market.In a step that appeared targeted primarily against France’s large brandy sector, Beijing revealed its displeasure over the EU’s assertiveness in its trade ties with China, including a probe into made-in-China electric vehicle subsidies that was strongly backed by President Emmanuel Macron’s government.“It’s about sending a message,” said trade lawyer Laurent Ruessmann, a partner at Fieldfisher. “The EU has opened several cases in the last few months: anti-dumping on biodiesel and also on boom lifts. [China is] basically pressuring these high-profile French brandy producers to use their open ear with the Elysée Palace to tell them the EU should be careful.” The probe comes three months after the European Commission started an investigation into whether subsidies for electr...
