Lower rates, surging stocks fail to ignite IPO market this fall
Public listings on Wall Street have seen a slow comeback in 2024 despite a resilient US economy, a long-awaited interest rate cut by the central bank and stock valuations hitting record highs. Experts say initial public offerings (IPO) are down due to competition from venture capitalists and a slow-to-come rate cut. While IPOs typically pick up in the fall, the market was "more muted than anticipated" this year. The IPO market's "slow rebound" continued in the third quarter this year as investors look towards 2025.

War rages amid Biden's final visit to Europe

President Joe Biden will be in Germany on Friday on a whirlwind trip to the NATO ally, with Western backing for Ukraine set to be high on the agenda at talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Biden was originally due in Germany last week for a multi-day visit that would have included a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but it was postponed due to Hurricane Milton. But the outgoing US leader was at pains to make his valedictory Germany trip, with the stripped-down program now squeezed into a one-day flying visit from late Thursday.

BIDEN AIMS TO REASSURE EUROPEAN ALLIES OF US SUPPORT

Arizona court unseals Gallego divorce case

Arizona's Supreme Court sided with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake on Wednesday in ruling that court records from the 2016 divorce of her Democratic opponent, Rep. Ruben Gallego, and his ex-wife, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, be unsealed. In a political fight that saw both Gallegos plead their cases, the state's highest court agreed with Lake's argument that the case is a matter of public record. Lake trails in the polls but could get a boost when the redacted versions of the court filing are released ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
