PANews reported on December 5th that, according to Jinshi, Bank of America strategists stated that the year-end stock market rally could be threatened if the Federal Reserve's economic outlook next week is overly cautious. Currently, the S&P 500 (SPX) is nearing record highs, and investors are confident in the best-case scenario of a Fed rate cut, falling inflation, and resilient economic growth. However, Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett stated in a report that if the Fed releases dovish signals at next week's meeting, this optimism could be tested—as it could suggest a larger-than-expected economic slowdown. "The only thing that could stop a Santa Claus rally is a dovish Fed rate cut triggering a sell-off in long-term Treasuries," Hartnett wrote in the report, referring to longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The S&P 500 is currently only about 0.5% away from its October peak, and seasonal trends typically favor a year-end rebound. However, due to the government shutdown, key employment and inflation data will be released later in December, posing two major risk events to the market. Hartnett and his team also pointed out that the US government may intervene to prevent high inflation and unemployment from rising to 5%.PANews reported on December 5th that, according to Jinshi, Bank of America strategists stated that the year-end stock market rally could be threatened if the Federal Reserve's economic outlook next week is overly cautious.

Bank of America warns: If the Federal Reserve makes a dovish rate cut next week, the "Santa Claus rally" may be over.

What do you think, musically?’” Russo recalls over Zoom. “We started talking and I began writing music for it. It seemed like…not a foregone conclusion, but a conversation that was being had.” A founder of Tonic and a previous member of Low Stars, the composer has scored all of Hawley’s film and television projects since The Unusuals (2009). “Everything I’ve learned about making music for storytelling, I learned by doing with him,” Russo adds. “He really knows what he wants. And when you have a confident filmmaker that is also open to artistic collaboration, it’s the best of all the worlds.” The first small screen translation of the nearly 50-year-old franchise known for straddling horror, sci-fi, and action genres, Alien: Earth takes place two years before the events of the 1979 original and nearly six decades before Aliens. “We talk a lot about trying to figure out what the underlying property is making our audience feel,” Russo explains. “Trying to create a unique narrative and way of telling the story, but at the same time, making the audience feel that same feeling. In this case, there’s that feeling of dread. There’s that tense, eerie feeling created with such a deft hand in Alien. And then [came Aliens, which was] such a great action piece. So how are we going to take those two ideas and sort of mix them together, have that be something unique and different, while eliciting the…
