Australian central bank hikes interest rate to 3.85%

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:44:56 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday surprised markets by increasing its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.85% despite pausing its climb last month and new evidence that inflation is slowing.The Reserve Bank of Australia’s meeting on April 4 was the first in a year to leave rates on hold to allow time for the bank’s board to observe the impacts of recent hikes. Most economists expected the cash rate would remain steady at 3.6% at the bank’s May meeting. Last week, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that inflation in the March quarter had slowed to 7% from 7.8% in December.But bank Gov. Philip Lowe said inflation remained too far outside his bank’s target range of 2% to 3%.“Inflation in Australia has passed its peak, but at 7% is still too high and it will be some time yet before it is back in the target range,” Lowe said in a statement. “While the recent data showed a welcome decline in inflation, the central forecast rema...

Unsigned in major leagues, Bauer gets big welcome in Japan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:44:56 GMT

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — Trevor Bauer will pitch his first official game for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars on Wednesday and, to promote the start, a local department store is to unveil a seven-story poster of the former Cy Young winner on the building’s facade.Bauer was unwanted this season by major league teams — at least no club signed him though he was eligible to play — after claims of domestic violence and sexual assault. However, he’s a baseball celebrity in this famous port city in Japan, with few questions asked about his past — and his answers readily accepted.Small replica posters of the department store version dot train stations around town spelling out “Bauer” in English with the message in Japanese — “He’s here.”“My face it too big,” Bauer said recently, breaking into a seldom-seen laugh with reporters. “It’s very cool. It’s very cool. Growing up as a kid you see professional athletes and movie stars on billboards like that; kind of cool for me...

Los guionistas de Hollywood se declaran en huelga y paralizan la producción de muchas series de televisión

Nueva York (CNN) — Más de 11.000 miembros del Sindicato de Guionistas de Estados Unidos se declararon en huelga este martes por la mañana por primera vez desde 2007, una medida que podría paralizar de inmediato la producción de muchas series de televisión y posiblemente retrasar el inicio de las nuevas temporadas de otras a finales de este año.“Aunque negociamos con la intención de llegar a un acuerdo justo… las respuestas de los estudios a nuestras propuestas han sido totalmente insuficientes, dada la crisis existencial a la que se enfrentan los guionistas”, dice un comunicado de la dirección del sindicato.“Han cerrado la puerta a su mano de obra y han abierto la puerta a la escritura como profesión totalmente independiente. Ningún acuerdo de este tipo podría ser contemplado jamás por esta afiliación”.Si bien los miembros del sindicato estarían en huelga a partir de las 3 am hora del este de este martes, el sindicato de guionistas (WGA, por sus s...
