Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Treasury yields rose Wednesday as investors digested the implications of hotter-than-expected wholesale prices in April. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note — the key benchmark for U.S. government borrowing — was last up more than 1 basis point at 4.487%. It had risen as much as 3 basis points to hit a high of 4.49%, reaching its highest level since July 17. The 2-year Treasury note yield, which more closely tracks short-term Federal Reserve interest rate policy, was less than 1 basis point higher at 4.002%. The longer-dated 30-year Treasury bond yield was up more than 1 basis point at 5.046%. It had earlier advanced 2 basis points to 5.05%, its highest level since July 17. One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions. The producer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 1.4% for the month, much higher than the 0.5% Dow Jones consensus forecast and the upwardly revised 0.7% March increase. This was the largest monthly gain since March 2022. On an annual basis, the index was up 6%, the biggest increase since December 2022. "Wednesday's PPI was strikingly elevated as producers are feeling the ripple effects of $100 per barrel oil, which is raising the cost of production across the board, as energy is arguably the most critical input cost," said Clark Bellin, president and CIO of Bellwether Wealth. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday that non-seasonally adjusted consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 3.8% in April — the highest since May 2023. That was more than the 3.7% year-over-year inflation expected by economists polled by Dow Jones. Annual core inflation, excluding food and energy, rose by 2.8%, also above the 2.7% anticipated by economists. By either measure, inflation is running far hotter than the central bank's stated goal of 2%, which the Fed seeks in order to meet its objective of ensuring stable prices in the ec...

For decades, astronomers looking through telescopes like Hubble have been trying to catch a glimpse of the ancient epoch when the Universe's first generation of stars ignited. But the small galaxies that were the building blocks of the cosmos we know today were too faint to spot, even by the most powerful instruments. Now it seems astronomers finally have two things on their side: the Webb Space Telescope and a bit of luck. In a recent paper in Nature, a team of scientists led by Kimihiko Nakajima, an astronomer at the Kanazawa University, Japan, used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe an ultra-faint galaxy called LAP1-B as it existed roughly 800 million years after the Big Bang. It’s the most chemically primitive galaxy we’ve ever seen. The magnifying glass The LAP1-B is 13 billion light-years away from Earth. To observe an object that faint and distant, even the huge, gold-coated beryllium mirrors of JWST were not enough on their own. We spotted it due to a massive cluster of galaxies called the MACS J046, which warps the spacetime between us and the LAP1-B. Read full article Comments

All I want is someone to help me spend my money without treating me with contempt. Thank goodness for those small, independent shops – they nail it every time Let us all rise to acclaim the local shop, the little independent establishment that always seems to have exactly what you went in for. These places are not many in number, so we must be sure to celebrate those that remain with us. Their prices might – might – be a little higher than a bloated multiple owned by some faceless private equity operation, but surely, if this is the case, it is a price worth paying. I find most shopping rather like watching my football team – a reliable source of disappointment. It’s not that I’m a particularly exacting customer. All I ask is for someone to serve me; ideally someone who doesn’t appear unhappy about taking my money off me. If they’re actively cheerful, helpful or knowledgable, so much the better. It’s not much to ask, is it? When I tell you what I’m looking for, please don’t look at me like an idiot for asking. In a health food shop the other day, I enquired as to the whereabouts of the nut roasts and she looked at me as if I’d asked for moonrock. Continue reading...

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Wednesday's key moments. 1. Stocks pulled back Wednesday after a hotter-than-expected inflation report raised concerns that the Federal Reserve may have less room to cut interest rates later this year. The producer price index rose 1.4% in April, seasonally adjusted, well above the consensus estimate of a 0.5% increase. On an annual basis, the index climbed 6%, marking its biggest increase since 2022. The report comes one day after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index rose 3.8% from a year ago. The PPI reading pushed Treasury yields higher, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.45%. Still, the Nasdaq Composite was up, powered by a rebound in tech stocks. Many semiconductor and AI names bounced back after Tuesday's sharp sell-off, though Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club, cautioned against chasing names that made parabolic moves. 2. Shares of Club holding Nvidia jumped 2%, fueled by optimism surrounding CEO Jensen Huang's trip to China alongside President Donald Trump . Investors are hopeful the visit could eventually lead to a reopening of chip sales in the region, though Jeff said that is not the Club's main focus. "It would be great if it happened for Nvidia, but not something we're banking on," he said. Instead, Jeff said he is paying closer attention to the possibility of a major aircraft order for fellow Club name Boeing . Reports suggest China could order as many as 500 planes, which Jeff said would be a meaningful catalyst for the aerospace giant. 3. Club name Qnity Electronics pulled back slightly after surging nearly 10% Tuesday on a strong beat-and-raise quarter . Jeff called the move lower "totally acceptable" following the stock's massive rally. Qnity's stock has more than doubled this year and remains one of the Club's top performers. Most analysts, including the Club, r...

Dazman/E+ via Getty Images BHP's ( BHP ) incoming CEO Brandon Craig said late Tuesday the company will seek to shore up long-term growth options , including through exploration and potential "bolt-on" acquisitions to ensure it has options to grow well beyond 2035. "One of my priorities will be ensuring we have options to grow well beyond 2035. That means increasing exploration, seeking opportunities to partner with peers to unlock value in adjacent operations and by executing smaller 'bolt on' acquisitions when the value case supports them," said Craig, who will succeed Mike Henry as CEO on July 1. BHP ( BHP ) will continue to focus on value and will not grow for growth's sake, Craig said at a Bank of America conference in Miami. "We will continue disciplined, consistent growth - developing the pipeline already in front of us and staying ready to act when value-accretive opportunities emerge," the CEO said . BHP ( BHP ) shares, up 50% YTD, reached a record high of $90.91 in U.S. trading on Wednesday.
