Stock market today: Asian shares power higher following slight gains on Wall Street

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:41:47 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian shares powered higher on Thursday, with Chinese benchmarks up more than 1%, after Wall Street logged modest gains in this holiday-shortened week. U.S. futures edged higher and oil prices were mixed. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index was an outlier in the region, shedding 0.5% to 33,519.61.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams each scored 36 points, and Williams hit a pair of clutch 3-pointers in the fourth quarter Wednesday night as the Oklahoma City Thunder held on to beat the New York Knicks 129-120.Chet Holmgren added 22 points for Oklahoma City (20-9), which beat Western Conference-leading Minnesota on Tuesday night and was playing its third back-to-back this season.“I thought we really got into our depth in the first half and we were able to keep the minutes under control and still have control of the game,” said Thunder coach Mark Daigneault, whose team committed just four turnovers. “We played a lot of different guys and we had a very balanced rotation minutes-wise in the first half, which allows you to hit the gas in the second half with the higher-minute guys.”Williams did most of his damage in the fourth, scoring 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting, including eight points and two 3s during a 10-2 run after New York pulled within 111-106 o...

Análisis: la economía de China tuvo un año miserable. 2024 podría ser aún peor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:41:47 GMT

(CNN) — Se esperaba que la economía china se recuperara rápidamente en 2023 y retomara su papel de motor indiscutible del crecimiento mundial. En cambio, se estancó hasta el punto de que el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), entre otros, lo llama un “lastre” para la producción mundial. A pesar de sus muchos problemas (una crisis inmobiliaria, un gasto débil y un alto desempleo juvenil), la mayoría de los economistas creen que la segunda economía más grande del mundo alcanzará su objetivo oficial de crecimiento de alrededor del 5% este año. Pero eso todavía está por debajo del crecimiento anual promedio de más del 6% en la década anterior a la pandemia de covid 19, y 2024 parece cada vez más siniestro, dijeron. Es posible que el país se enfrente a décadas de estancamiento a partir de entonces.“El desafío para la economía china en 2024 no será el crecimiento del PBI, que probablemente será superior al 4,5%”, dijo Derek Scissors, investigador principal del American Enterprise I...
