NEW YORK (AP) — The first alarm bells are starting to go off on Wall Street as brinkmanship over raising the U.S. government’s $31.4 trillion debt limit raises worries in financial markets. The stakes are immense. Democrats and Republicans are arguing over whether to raise the cap that’s been set for the U.S. government’s borrowing. It’s a debate that’s happened many times before, each time ending with a default-defying increase.Failure to find a fix would spell disaster for many, not least holders of U.S. debt who wouldn’t get promised payments on time. Economists widely expect a recession to follow and potential chaos in markets. U.S. Treasurys are the foundation of financial markets around the world, on top of which all kinds of other investments set their prices, from stocks to foreign currencies.

Review: ‘The Eight Mountains’ is a luminous, gentle stunner

Published Tue, 03 Dec 2024 17:41:09 GMT

Seasons and years blow through the high Alpine peaks of the decades-spanning “The Eight Mountains.” But a warm, abiding glow persists throughout this tender, even restorative epic of male friendship. The film, by Belgian filmmakers Charlotte Vandermeersch and Felix van Groeningen, is a stunning, often profound and frequently jaw-droppingly gorgeous tale of two friends from childhood through adulthood set against the Italian Alps.
