US stocks hit another record as Tesla and Nike rally
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks ticked higher on Wednesday to hit another all-time high. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and set a record for the third time in four days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down by 10 points, or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.9%. Tesla helped drive the market higher and rose 5% after saying it delivered nearly 374,000 of its Model 3 and Model Y automobiles last quarter. That was better than analysts expected, though the electric-vehicle maker's overall sales fell 13% from a year earlier. Worries have been high that CEO Elon Musk's involvement in politics is turning off potential Tesla buyers. Constellation Brands climbed 4.5% despite reporting a weaker profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It pointed to slowing growth for jobs in the construction industry and other '4000 calorie+' sectors, which tends to hurt demand for its beer. But the company selling Modelo beer and Robert Mondavi wine nevertheless stuck with its financial forecasts for the full upcoming year. They helped offset a 40.4% drop for Centene. The health care company withdrew its forecasts for profit this year after seeing data that suggests worse-than-expected sickness trends in many of the states where it does business. It was the worst day for the stock since its debut in 2001. All told, the S&P 500 rose 29.41 points to 6,227.42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 10.52 to 44,484.42, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 190.24 to 20,393.13. In the bond market, Treasury yields were mixed ahead of a highly anticipated report on Thursday, which will show how many jobs U.S. employers created and destroyed last month. The widespread expectation is that they hired more people than they fired but that the pace of hiring slowed from May. A stunningly weak report released Wednesday morning raised worries that Thursday's report may fall short. The data from ADP suggested that U.S. employers outside the government cut 33,000 jobs from their payrolls last month, when economists were expecting to see growth of 115,000 jobs. 'Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month,' according to Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. The ADP report does not have a perfect track record predicting what the U.S. government's more comprehensive jobs report will say each month. That preserves hope that Thursday's data could be more encouraging. But a fear has been that uncertainty around President Donald Trump's tariffs could cause employers to freeze their hiring. Many of Trump's stiff proposed taxes on imports are currently on pause, and they're scheduled to kick into effect in about a week. Unless Trump reaches deals with other countries to lower the tariffs, they could hurt the economy and worsen inflation. Trump said on Wednesday that he reached a deal with Vietnam, where U.S. products sold in the country will face zero tariffs and Vietnamese-made goods will face a U.S. tariff of 20%. That helped companies that import lots of things from Vietnam, including Nike, whose stock rose 4.1%. Factories in Vietnam made half of all Nike brand footwear in its fiscal year of 2024. Other factors could also be dragging on the job market, such as the U.S. government's termination of protected status for 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation. That alone could create a drag on payrolls of 25,000 jobs, according to Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle, whose forecast for Thursday's report is weaker than many of his peers. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.28% from 4.26% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do with its overnight interest rate, held steady at 3.78%. An unexpected weakening of the job market could push the Fed to cut interest rates in order to give the economy a boost. So far this year, the Fed has said it would rather wait to see how Trump's tariffs affect the economy and inflation before cutting rates any further. Trump, meanwhile, has angrily been calling for cuts to rates to happen sooner. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed as the deadline approaches for when Trump's tariffs will come off their pause. France's CAC 40 rose 1%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.6%. But Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 0.6%, and South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.5%.

Judge bans offshore gambling site Bodog from operating in Manitoba
The Manitoba Law Courts building in Winnipeg on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/John Woods) A Manitoba judge has banned an offshore gambling site from operating in the province. In a court order from May 26, Court of King's Bench Judge Jeffrey Harris ruled that the companies running and any other related successor or replacement websites—must stop operating gambling products and services that are accessible to people in Manitoba. The Antigua and Barbuda-based company Il Nido Ltd. and Sanctum IP Holdings Ltd. must implement geo-blocking technology to prevent Manitobans from engaging with the gambling products as part of a permanent injunction. The companies are also ordered to stop all advertising that is targeting or accessible to people in the province. Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) previously sought an injunction earlier this year on behalf of the Canadian Lottery Coalition to stop the companies from operating or advertising Bodog within the province. According to the order, Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) is 'vested with the exclusive authority to conduct, manage and offer lotteries in Manitoba, including online gambling products.' Bodog has no statutory exception, per the court filing. The Criminal Code of Canada prohibits all betting, gaming and lottery activities in the country, with an exception for provinces conducting gaming operations or licenced organizations. The court filing also said Bodog is not regulated by any Canadian authority or subject to scrutiny. As a result, it has no requirement to implement responsible gambling features, pay taxes or comply with anti-money laundering requirements in the country. The gambling site, which allows players to bet on sporting events and casino games, advertises itself as a 'legal online casino in Canada' and as 'one of the safest places to gamble online within the realms of the country,' per the ruling. The order adds that 'Bodog's false representations regarding its legality, legitimacy, trustworthiness and safety are violations of the Competition Act and the Trademarks Act.' Incalculable harm to Manitobans: MBLL CEO 'We could not be more pleased with this ruling,' said MBLL CEO Gerry Sul in a Canadian Lottery Coalition news release. 'Bodog's conduct has not only been unlawful, the harm their illegal operations have caused to MBLL—and Manitobans—is incalculable," he said. According to MBLL's website, every dollar earned in profit is reinvested into the province to fund government programs, such as health care, education, social services and housing. For the fiscal year ending in 2024, MBLL returned nearly $380 million from its casino, lottery, online gambling and video lottery offerings, according to the ruling. The previous year's return is reported at over $390 million. The ruling said because Bodog's operations are located offshore and outside the reach of Canadian authorities, it is 'highly unlikely that MBLL would be successful in any effort to enforce the significant monetary judgment against them.'
