Markets breathe a sigh of relief with an end to the government shutdown in sight
Stock futures rose early Monday on hopes that the longest federal government shutdown in American history will come to an end soon. The Senate voted to advance legislation to end the deadlock after a group of Democrats broke ranks to back a deal.
The bill would allow federal funding to restart and end the furlough of many employees, but it does not contain a guarantee to extend healthcare tax subsidies, a key Democratic demand.
“It looks like we’re getting closer to the shutdown ending,” President Donald Trump said Sunday night. “You’ll know very soon.” Markets breathed a sigh of relief.
S&P 500 futures were up by almost 1% early Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq also rising. The rally extended to global stock indexes, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 rising 1.3% and Britain’s FTSE 100 surging 1%.
Jonathan Pingle, chief U.S. economist at UBS Investment Bank, told CNBC, “The Fed’s been stumbling around in this fog and I think markets would like some clarity one way or another.” He described the shutdown as a “huge inconvenience” and a “drag on growth.”
“There’s a certain amount of cheerleading growing on,” Pingle said about the Senate bill. “Businesses are going to be happy having a functioning government and getting past reports.”
Lawmakers voted 60-40 to advance the bill Sunday night before the Senate adjourned until Monday. The Republican-controlled House also needs to back the measure before it heads to President Trump’s desk for approval. That process could still take several days.
“A possible end to the longest running U.S. shutdown is a positive for markets,” said Prashant Newnaha, senior Asia-Pacific rates strategist at TD Securities, according to Reuters. “Our expectation is that the next step is for a House vote on Wednesday, with the government set to reopen this Friday.”
At 40 days, the current shutdown is the longest ever in the U.S., and until this weekend, Republicans and Democrats had been at an impasse. The shutdown has left 1.4 million federal employees without pay and halted key economic data releases.
The shutdown effectively closed the Bureau of Labor Statistics, hampering its ability to collect and produce timely data about the state of the U.S. economy.
Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said the lack of data “has created a considerable dose of the uncertainty which markets famously hate and it is also hampering the ability of the Federal Reserve to make informed decisions on interest rates.”
“In this context, it’s not a surprise to see investors react positively to signs of progress, with Asian shares higher, indices on the front foot in Europe and US futures pointing towards gains when Wall Street opens later.”

Mets Predicted To Sign $88 Million Star Pitcher After Missing Postseason
The New York Mets missed the postseason last year, and the team is under heavy pressure to perform better in the upcoming season. With one of the biggest payrolls in baseball, missing the playoffs is seemingly unacceptable for the franchise and its passionate fanbase.
The Mets had an incredible offseason last winter, making significant moves to bolster their roster. However, there is a chance they could take a few steps back this offseason due to key players hitting free agency. Mets slugger Pete Alonso is headed to free agency, drawing much attention. Equally important is star closer Edwin Diaz, who is also set to enter the free-agent market.
The Athletic’s Jim Bowden recently projected that Diaz could sign a massive $88 million contract this winter. Meanwhile, Bob Nightengale of USA Today predicted the Mets would be able to retain Diaz in free agency—an outcome that would be a huge step in the right direction for New York.
The Mets have no excuse to lose Diaz. He has been the heartbeat of their bullpen for years while being paid well below his true value. Given that the Mets seemingly have the deepest pockets in baseball, offering Diaz close to $100 million to keep him in Queens for the next four or five seasons shouldn’t be a big hurdle.
Retaining Diaz is a big deal. It would lock up one of the best closers in baseball for the foreseeable future, providing stability and strength to the Mets’ bullpen. Having a strong bullpen is crucial for winning in October, and one of the game’s best closers will continue to take pressure off the rest of the team as they push for postseason success.

“No disrespect to other fighters” – Francis Ngannou claims Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira is not the biggest fight ever
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has shared his thoughts on the rumored super fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira. Now the PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Champion, Ngannou certainly understands the desire to face off against Jones.
Tom Aspinall, the current UFC heavyweight champion, previously claimed that Jones “ducked” Ngannou during his time in the UFC. Additionally, Jones appeared to avoid fighting Aspinall, choosing instead to fight Stipe Miocic before retiring from competition. However, ‘Bones’ seems eager to return to the octagon, with Alex Pereira potentially being his target for the upcoming UFC White House event.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Ngannou was asked which matchup would be bigger: Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira or Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou. “You know the answer, you don’t need me for that,” Ngannou replied. When pressed for a more definitive answer, he confidently stated:
> “Biggest fight of all time can only happen with Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. No disrespect to other fighters, I respect all the fights and all the fighters, regardless of if they fight on the main card or prelim, whatever or wherever. Great fights happen everywhere. I became a world champion at the Apex.”
Ngannou also admitted that the fight would be the biggest only if held at the White House, adding a touch of humor and intrigue to the speculation.
Watch Francis Ngannou’s comments beginning at 4:00 in the interview below.
### Ngannou Shuts Down Any Hopes of a UFC Return
Although a Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones matchup would undoubtedly be a monumental fight for the White House event, chances of Ngannou returning to the UFC appear very slim.
Rumors of a comeback circulated earlier in the year, but UFC president Dana White dismissed the possibility following the UFC Baku event. White admitted he was not a fan of Ngannou and said it would be a big surprise if the former champion returned.
Ngannou didn’t stay silent on the subject either, posting a comeback message on X (formerly Twitter):
> “Did I say I’m ever coming back? 🤔”
With this clear back-and-forth, it remains uncertain if Ngannou will ever compete in the UFC again, but fans can still dream of what could have been the biggest fight in MMA history.

![Trump Grants Sweeping Pardons to Dozens Targeted After 2020 Election [WATCH]](https://latremie.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025.08.31-09.42-lifezette-68b418f026a3e.jpg)
Trump Grants Sweeping Pardons to Dozens Targeted After 2020 Election [WATCH]
President Donald Trump has issued a broad pardon proclamation extending clemency to dozens of allies who faced prosecution over efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election. The order, signed and released by the White House, declares the pardons part of an effort to correct what the president called a “grave national injustice” and move toward “national reconciliation.”
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American people following the 2020 presidential election and continues the process of national reconciliation,” the document reads.
The proclamation grants “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official in connection with the 2020 presidential election, as well as for any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 presidential election.”
Among those named are several high-profile figures who became central to post-election investigations, including Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal attorney and former mayor of New York; John Eastman, one of Trump’s lawyers involved in election-related legal strategies; and Tyler Bowyer, a senior member of Turning Point USA.
In total, the list includes more than 70 individuals. Some of the names listed in the document are Mark Amick, Kathy Berden, Christina Bobb, Joseph Brannan, Carol Brunner, Mary Buestrin, Darryl Carlson, James “Ken” Carroll, Brad Carver, Robert Cheeley, Kenneth Chesebro, Hank Choate, Jeffrey Clark, Vikki Consiglio, Nancy Cottle, James DeGraffenreid, John Downey, Jenna Ellis, Boris Epshteyn, Amy Facchinello, Bill Feehan, Carolyn Fisher, Harrison Floyd, Clifford Frost, Kay Godwin, Edward Scott Grabins, Stanley Grot, John Haggard, Scott Hall, Misty Hampton, David G. Hanna, Mark Hennessy, Mari-Ann Henry, Durward James Hindle III, Andrew Hitt, Jake Hoffman, Burt Jones, Anthony T. Moorhead, Loraine Pellegrino, Sidney Powell, James Renner, Eileen Rice, Mayra Rodriguez, Mike Roman, Rose Rook, Kelly Ruh, Greg Safsten, David Shafer, Marian Sheridan, Ray Stallings Smith III, Robert F. Spindell Jr., Shawn Still, Ken Thompson, Pam Travis, James Troupis, Kent Vanderwood, Kelli Ward, Michael Ward, and C. B. Yadav.
The proclamation notes that the pardon applies only to those whose conduct was directly related to post-election challenges or alternate elector efforts, as well as activities tied to investigating or exposing alleged voting irregularities.
In a statement posted to X, Tyler Bowyer expressed gratitude toward President Trump and others who supported those charged in connection with the post-election cases.
“I am very grateful for the support of the President and his pardon attorney Ed Martin, and the many who have looked out for us since this expensive injustice has taken place in the swing states,” he wrote. “We were targeted to sideline many of us politically. It has nearly bankrupted and caused severe trauma to many good people on this list—this is why it is important to get to the bottom of what was carried out against good faith and active citizens who took to the courts to ask questions about the 2020 election.”
While the proclamation offers comprehensive relief for those prosecuted or investigated, it explicitly excludes President Trump himself.
“This pardon does not apply to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” the document states. That clarification ensures that any ongoing or future legal proceedings involving the president personally are not affected by the order.
The move, however, effectively brings to a close years of prosecutions, investigations, and civil actions targeting individuals tied to Trump’s post-election legal and political efforts.

Bobby Deol to play a grey character in Ahaan Panday’s next with Ali Abbas Zafar: Report
With back-to-back impactful performances, Bobby Deol has turned the second innings of his career into one of the most anticipated phases in Bollywood. Audiences are still captivated by his intense roles in *Animal* and *The Ba****ds of Bollywood*. Now, the latest buzz is something that will surely excite his Gen Z fan base.
### Bobby Deol to Play a Grey Character in Ahaan Panday’s Next with Ali Abbas Zafar: Report
Rumours suggest that Bobby will once again be seen in a grey-shaded role in Ahaan Panday’s upcoming film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, which also stars Sharvari. A report by Mid-Day quoted a trade source saying, “It would be incorrect to call him the villain. His character holds an authoritative position in the film, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. As the story progresses, Bobby’s character develops grey shades, which influence his dynamics with the hero.”
Interestingly, Bobby is already set to take on a full-fledged negative role in Aditya Chopra’s *Alpha*, headlined by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
The report further mentioned that Ali Abbas Zafar did not want to present Bobby in a similar all-black avatar for this film. The source added, “Ali and producer Aditya Chopra were clear from the beginning that the character shouldn’t be entirely menacing or evil, as Bobby has already explored such roles. The director designed a larger-than-life persona keeping Bobby in mind, while also giving the character emotional depth and shades of grey. Bobby came on board just a week ago.”
As per the report, Zafar is expected to travel to England soon for the film’s recce. If all goes as planned, the project is likely to go on floors in the first quarter of 2026.
While the speculation surrounding the film has already stirred excitement among fans, an official confirmation about Bobby Deol’s casting is still awaited.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) Stock: Rises as Low-Cost ‘Bazaar’ Service Expands to 14 Global Markets
Amazon Stock Inches Up Following Global Expansion of Amazon Bazaar
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares closed at $244.41, up 0.56% on November 7, 2025, before gaining an additional 0.3% in after-hours trading to $245.15. The modest rise in stock price came shortly after the e-commerce giant announced a significant global expansion of its low-cost retail platform, Amazon Bazaar.
Amazon Bazaar, branded as Haul in the U.S., extends Amazon’s reach into 14 new international markets, underscoring the company’s push to capture the rapidly growing ultra-budget online shopping segment currently dominated by Chinese fast-fashion giants Shein and PDD Holdings’ Temu.
### Amazon Bazaar Takes on Shein and Temu
Originally launched in Mexico in 2024, and later expanded to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Amazon Bazaar specializes in ultra-affordable products such as $10 dresses and $5 accessories, targeting cost-conscious consumers worldwide. The latest rollout includes countries like Hong Kong, the Philippines, Nigeria, and Taiwan.
Most items on the platform are priced below $10, with some as inexpensive as $2, spanning categories from home goods to fashion. This aggressive pricing strategy positions Amazon Bazaar to directly compete with Shein, which operates in over 160 countries, and Temu, which ships to at least 70 countries.
### Analyst Perspective: A Long-Term Global Play
Industry analysts view the expansion as a strategic move to strengthen Amazon’s position in emerging e-commerce markets. Gil Luria, an analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co., described Amazon Bazaar as a notable step in the company’s international growth strategy. He emphasized that Amazon typically enters markets when confident of achieving profitability.
Luria also noted that while Amazon’s international ventures often take years to generate returns, the success of low-cost products through Bazaar could enable Amazon to expand well beyond its current 23 markets, potentially reaching nearly every country globally.
### Strong International Revenue Growth
Amazon reported international revenue of $40.9 billion in Q3 2025, marking a 10% year-over-year increase (excluding foreign exchange effects). This growth reflects the company’s successful expansion and increasing demand across international markets.
### Competitive Landscape and Tariff Pressures
The move to globalize Amazon Bazaar comes as competitors Shein and Temu accelerate their own international expansions. The competitive landscape intensified following the Trump administration’s removal of the de minimis trade exemption, which previously allowed shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free.
While this policy change has created challenges for low-cost importers, it has simultaneously provided Amazon with an opportunity to leverage its robust logistics and compliance infrastructure to capture market share.
### Outlook and Stock Performance
Amazon’s stock continues to showcase strong momentum, with year-to-date returns of 11.4% and a one-year gain of 16.36%, outperforming many of its peers. Over the past three years, the stock has gained nearly 170%, reflecting robust investor confidence in Amazon’s long-term growth potential.
By expanding Amazon Bazaar globally, Amazon is strategically positioning itself to compete aggressively in the fast-growing budget retail segment while reinforcing its international market leadership.

Is this Samsung’s Exynos and Snapdragon plan for the Galaxy S26?
It’s looking increasingly likely that Exynos will take the lead on the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung appears to be in a strong position to produce the Exynos 2600 at a scale needed to deliver tens of millions of chips for the new handsets.
However, there is also an expectation that the latest Snapdragon chipset will be used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra—at least in some markets. A new rumor now claims to reveal Samsung’s plan for this chipset split, and it’s not much different from previous years.
The rumor, originating from the X (formerly Twitter) echo chamber, suggests there’s a high chance Samsung will go fully Exynos for the Galaxy S26 series in its home country of South Korea. This would mean even the Galaxy S26 Ultra offered in South Korea will feature Exynos exclusively.
Reports also indicate Samsung is planning to use Exynos in most regions outside the United States, China, and Japan. All three models—the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra—would thus be powered by Samsung’s own chipset in most markets, confirming the company intends Exynos to take the lead in its next flagship lineup. The Snapdragon is expected to be reserved for the Galaxy S26 Ultra only, and possibly only in select regions.
Based on the information available so far, both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ will use the Exynos chipset exclusively across all global markets. There could be some disappointment among fans in regions where the Snapdragon Ultra isn’t offered, but Samsung has dealt with these preferences before, and it likely won’t have a major impact on sales.
Besides, early reports suggest the Exynos 2600 is shaping up to be a very capable chipset, potentially narrowing the gap between Exynos and Snapdragon performance for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.

BBC Chiefs Quit Amid Accusations It Misled Viewers Over Trump Speech
Two top executives from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned amid allegations that the UK broadcaster misled viewers by editing a speech given by President Donald Trump on the day of the Capitol riot.
A documentary aired last year appeared to show Trump urging his supporters to “walk down to the Capitol” and “fight like hell.” However, in reality, he said they should “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” The phrase “fight like hell” was taken from a different part of his speech.
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Rosa Prince offers further insights. Please note that the views expressed are her own.
