Peru bus plunges off cliff, killing at least 24

Jan 28 (Reuters) – At least 24 people died in northern Peru after a bus carrying 60 passengers plunged off a cliff in early on Saturday, police told local media.

Peru’s transportation supervisory agency (SUTRAN) confirmed the crash in a statement, without providing a number of fatalities or injuries.

The tragedy, involving a bus for the company Q’Orianka Tours Aguila Dorada, occurred in the district of El Alto in the far north of Peru, SUTRAN said.

SUTRAN said early investigations showed the bus appeared to have an up-to-date safety inspection and accident insurance.

Road accidents are relatively common in Peru, with many drivers operating vehicles on precarious roads and without proper training. In 2021, 29 people died when a bus plunged off a highway in the Andes mountains.

His death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, an NYPD spokesperson said.

Sources said the man was a founder and partner at a Connecticut-based investment company.

This is the second time in less than four months a person plunged from the same hotel bar.

In October, aspiring model Elizabeth Gaglewski, of Queens, fell from Bar 54 before hitting a 27th floor balcony, the NYPD said. The 26-year-old woman was remembered as “sweet and loving” by family.

Dow Jones Futures Rise After Housing Data; Tesla Plunges On Reduced Production Schedule

Dow Jones futures rose Tuesday morning, with an early dose of economic data set to launch the short, final trading week of the year. China-based stocks rallied as that nation further eased its Covid restrictions. Tesla stock dived more than 6% after Reuters reported that the electric-vehicle giant plans to run a reduced production schedule at its Shanghai plant in January.




X



Tuesday’s economic data includes two housing reports, with Case-Shiller home price index and FHFA House Price Index — both out at 9 a.m. ET — along with the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Survey out at 10:30 a.m. ET

October’s Case-Shiller home price index came in better than estimates, but still fell 0.5% after September’s 1.2% decline, and a year-over-year increase of 8.6%. Meanwhile, the FHFA House Price Index was flat for October, with a 9.8% year-over-year rise.

Finally, the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Survey is expected to post a -11.0 reading in December vs. -14.4 in the previous month.

On the earnings front, the schedule is bare this week heading into the final week of 2022, with Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) the sole reporter on Wednesday after the close.

Southwest Airlines (LUV) declined more than 3% after the company canceled more than two-thirds of its flights Monday, with plans to cut its schedules on Tuesday and Wednesday due to holiday winter storms.

EV giant Tesla (TSLA) dived more than 6% Tuesday. Dow Jones tech leaders Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) traded mixed ahead of today’s stock market open.

Medpace (MEDP), IBD Leaderboard stock Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX), O’Reilly Auto Parts (ORLY) and Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) — as well as Dow Jones names Amgen (AMGN) and Caterpillar (CAT) — are among the top stocks to consider for investor watchlists. Keep in mind the recent market weakness should keep investors on the defensive.

Neurocrine and Texas Roadhouse are IBD Leaderboard stocks. Caterpillar and Medpace were recent IBD Stock Of The Day companies.

Dow Jones Today: Oil Prices, Treasury Yields

Ahead of Tuesday’s opening bell, Dow Jones futures moved up 0.1% vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures inched higher. Tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures moved down 0.2% in morning action, with Tesla pulling hard to the downside while China names Trip.com (TCOM), Pinduoduo (PDD) and JD.com (JD) logged strong gains.

Among U.S. exchange-traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) rose 0.2% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) moved up 0.5% early Tuesday.

Chinese authorities said the country would end its mandatory quarantine requirement for incoming travelers beginning on Jan. 8. Restrictions on the numbers of passengers and international flights will also be lifted. The latest step in China’s easing of strict Covid restrictions comes even as infections are reported to be spreading rapidly through the country.

China-based solar manufacturers posted some of the strongest early moves, with JinkoSolar (JKS) and Daqo New Energy (DQ) each up more than 4.5%. Among ETFs, KraneShares CSI China Internet (KWEB) jumped 2.3%. The iShares MSCI China (MCHI) added 2.2%.

The 10-year Treasury yield ticked higher to 3.81% Tuesday morning, with the 10-year yield rising after last week’s strong gains. Meanwhile, U.S. oil prices traded up less than 1% Tuesday, as West Texas Intermediate futures traded just above $80 a barrel in morning trade.

Stock Market Rally Under Pressure

On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.5%, and the S&P 500 advanced 0.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite climbed just 0.2%.

Friday’s The Big Picture column commented, “The Nasdaq composite also fought back from negative territory, though its gain was a miserly 0.2%. The tech-heavy index ended up slipping 1.9% for the week and it has work to do to break its downtrend. It is faring far worse than the S&P 500 this year, giving up nearly 34%.”

Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column amid the ongoing stock market volatility.


Five Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch Now


Dow Jones Stocks To Watch: Amgen, Caterpillar

Drugmaker Amgen continues to trace a flat base amid a three-week losing streak. And shares are below their 50-day line after sharp losses. For now, the correct buy point is 296.77, but the stock needs to decisively retake its 50-day first. AMGN stock traded a fraction higher Tuesday.

Dow Jones member Caterpillar broke out past a 239.95 buy point in a flat base last week, according to IBD MarketSmith pattern recognition, and just a few cents below the entry following Friday’s advance. Bullishly, the stock’s relative strength line, a key technical indicator, is at new highs. CAT stock rose 0.3% Tuesday.

CAT stock shows a strong 98 out of a perfect 99 IBD Composite Rating, per the IBD Stock Checkup. The Composite Rating is designed to help investors easily find top growth stocks.


4 Top Growth Stocks To Watch In The Current Stock Market Rally


Top Stocks To Watch: Medpace, Neurocrine, O’Reilly, Texas Roadhouse

Medpace bounced sharply from its 50-day line last week, with a gain of 3.3%. The stock rose 0.7% Friday to extend a win streak to four sessions. For now, the correct buy point looms at 235.82, but an earlier entry at 220.09 is also in play. MEDP stock was unchanged Tuesday.

IBD Leaderboard stock Neurocrine slipped 1.7% Friday, ending a five-day win streak that saw the biotech leader find support at its 50-day level. A strong rebound is bullish for the stock’s immediate prospects and the stock is likely forming the right side of a new base. NBIX stock was flat Tuesday.

O’Reilly Auto Parts was also finding much-needed support at its 50-day line last week and remains squarely above a 750.98 flat-base entry. A big rebound off the 50-day line could bring a follow-on entry point, but the market uptrend is under pressure right now, which increases the risk of buying stocks. A new base is likely forming, which will offer a new entry in the near future. ORLY shares were inactive Tuesday.

Texas Roadhouse shows a new buy point at 101.85 in a flat base, but is now consolidating below its 50-day line. The IBD Leaderboard stock will look to recover that key benchmark over the coming sessions, and the current two-day win streak is a promising start. TXRH stock traded unchanged Tuesday morning.

Stocks To Watch

These are four top stocks to watch in today’s stock market, including two Dow Jones leaders.

Company Name Symbol Correct Buy Point Type Of Base
Medpace (MEDP) 235.82 Consolidation
Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) 101.85 Flat base

Tesla Stock

Tesla stock declined another 2% Friday, extending a losing streak to six sessions and hitting another 52-week low. Last week, Tesla shares dived 18% to hit a new 52-week low price at 121.02. Shares closed about 69% off their 52-week high.

Shares extended their losses Tuesday morning, diving another 6% after Reuters reported Tesla extended its production cuts that began this month into next year. Tesla stock is set to hit a new low, trading below 116 a share in premarket trade.

Tesla reportedly suspended production at its Shanghai plant on Saturday, hurrying its plan to pause production at the plant at the end of December.

Dow Jones Leaders: Apple, Microsoft

Among Dow Jones stocks, Apple shares dropped 0.3% Friday, closing just shy of their 52-week low, which was set on June 16 at 129.04. The stock is around 28% off its 52-week high. Shares lost a fraction Tuesday.

Microsoft stock rose 0.2% Friday, but remains below the 50-day line after last week’s 2.4% decline. The software giant remains about 30% off its 52-week high. MSFT stock moved up 0.3% early Tuesday.

Six dead in Spain after bus plunges off bridge into river

Six people died and two were injured after a passenger bus careened off a bridge and plunged into an overflowing river in northwestern Spain, emergency services said on Sunday.

Two survivors – the vehicle’s 63-year-old driver and a female passenger – were pulled out of the river by firefighters with rope and taken to nearby hospitals with varying degrees of injury.

The driver tested negative for alcohol and drugs, a police spokesperson told Reuters.

The spokesperson added that the search-and-rescue operation around the bridge had now concluded, while engineers attempted to find a way to safely recover the wreckage from the river Lerez.

The river’s strong current and high flow due to heavy rains sweeping the Galicia region hampered efforts to retrieve the bodies throughout the weekend.

The coach from the company Monbus was travelling between the cities of Lugo and Vigo on Saturday night and had stopped at a penitentiary center near the site of the accident.

It skidded off a straight road on the bridge for reasons that remain unclear and plunged into the water in a fall of at least 40 meters (131 feet) at around 9.30 p.m. local time (2030 GMT).

Emergency services were first alerted by a call from a passerby who noticed the bridge’s protective barrier had been severely damaged. Shortly afterwards, they received a second call from inside the bus as it was filling up with water.

The river remained above its overflow threshold throughout the night, forcing emergency rescue workers to suspend the operation for nearly two hours before resuming in the morning.

Authorities at first reported a total of nine people onboard the bus when it fell, based on the driver’s testimony, though the count is now believed to have been eight based on missing person reports filed by relatives.

The regional president of Galicia, Alfonso Rueda, pointed to the “very bad” weather conditions as one of the possible causes of the accident.

Dow Jones Dives On Jobless Claims, GDP; CarMax Plunges On ‘Vehicle Affordability Issues’

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dived more than 400 points Thursday in the wake of first-time jobless claims and another estimate for third-quarter gross domestic product. Chip stocks came under pressure after weak quarterly results from Micron Technology. And CarMax plunged as it reported consumers are starting to balk at car prices.




X



The Labor Department said Thursday that initial jobless claims rose to 216,000, below estimates for a rise to 225,000 vs. 211,000 in the prior week. Also, the Commerce Department reported another estimate of third-quarter GDP came in stronger than expected. This third estimate showed growth of 3.2% vs. the second estimate’s 2.9%.

On Friday, investors will shift their attention to more inflation data, with the release of November’s personal consumption expenditures figures.

Micron Technology (MU) dropped more than 3% Thursday. Late Wednesday, the memory-chip maker missed estimates for its fiscal first quarter amid a cyclical downturn. The chip industry bellwether also predicted current-quarter results that were far below analyst views, sending chip stocks to broad early losses.

CarMax (KMX) careened 8% lower, after management said inflation and rising interest rates led to “vehicle affordability issues.” The company fell far short of third-quarter earnings estimates.

Chinese stocks were strong outperformers Thursday morning, as Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index surged nearly 3% on pledges for new growth initiatives and some easing of international tension. Alibaba (BABA) rose nearly 1%, while JD.com (JD) was unchanged. Pinduoduo (PDD) inched lower.

Electric-vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) dropped more than 3% Thursday. Dow Jones energy giant Chevron (CVX) fell 0.6% Thursday morning, as U.S. oil prices continue to rise. Dow Jones tech leaders Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) traded lower after today’s stock market open.

IBD Leaderboard stock Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX), KLA (KLAC), O’Reilly Auto Parts (ORLY) and Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) — as well as Dow Jones names Amgen (AMGN), Caterpillar (CAT) and Home Depot (HD) — are among the top stocks to consider for investor watchlists. Keep in mind the recent market weakness should keep investors on the defensive.

Stock Market Rally Under Pressure

On Wednesday, the stock market posted a strong performance, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallying 1.6%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite both rose 1.5%.

Before the stock market opens, the last traders manning equity desks across the country ahead of the three-day Christmas holiday will be eyeing closely the November personal consumption expenditures figures.”

Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column amid the ongoing stock market volatility.


Five Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch Now


Dow Jones Stocks To Watch: Amgen, Caterpillar, Home Depot

Drugmaker Amgen is building a new flat base following a big advance into the middle of November. But shares are below their 50-day line after sharp losses in recent weeks.

Dow Jones member Caterpillar broke out past a 239.95 buy point in a flat base, according to IBD MarketSmith pattern recognition, during Wednesday’s 2.8% breakout move. Bullishly, the stock’s relative strength line, a key technical indicator, hit a new high. CAT stock lost 1.1% Thursday.

A strong rebound is bullish for the stock’s immediate prospects and would likely lead to the formation of a new base. NBIX stock added 0.4% Thursday.

O’Reilly Auto Parts is also finding much-needed support at its 50-day line this week and remains squarely above a 750.98 flat-base entry.

Dow Jones Dives On Fear Of More Rate Hikes Into 2023; Tesla Stock Plunges

Dow Jones futures were higher ahead of Tuesday’s open after the Dow Jones Industrial Average sold off more than 480 points Monday. Tesla stock dived after multiple reports said Tesla is planning to cut its EV production in China, as demand seems to be faltering.




X



The EV giant refuted the reports, calling the claims that it’s cutting its China production untrue. Still, investors left the stock down more than 6% and near the day’s lows.

More Fed Rate Hikes Into 2023?

The stock market headed south Monday, as stronger-than-expected economic data sparked fears that the Federal Reserve will continue to aggressively raise interest rates into next year due to a strong labor market. Early Monday, the ISM services report came in better than expected, with a 56.5 reading in November vs. a 54.4 in October. The ISM services is a barometer of U.S. business conditions in the service sector; a reading above 50 indicates expansion and a sub-50 reading is contraction.

Monday’s economic data came directly on the heels of Friday’s strong jobs report that showed employers added 263,000 payroll positions while the unemployment rate held at 3.7% and wages jumped.

According to Nick Timiraos at the Wall Street Journal, “Federal Reserve officials have signaled plans to raise their benchmark interest rate by 0.5 percentage points at their meeting next week, but elevated wage pressures could lead them to continue lifting it to higher levels than investors currently expect.”

Timiraos continued, “policymakers expect price pressures to ease meaningfully next year, but brisk wage growth or higher inflation in labor-intensive service sectors of the economy could lead more of them to support raising their benchmark rate next year above the 5% currently anticipated by investors.”

The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 3.59% Monday, rebounding from last week’s sharp losses.

Earnings reports this week include Academy Sports + Outdoors (ASO), AutoZone (AZO), Broadcom (AVGO), Ciena (CIEN), Lululemon Athletica (LULU), Ollie’s Bargain Outlet (OLLI) and Toll Brothers (TOL).

Stock Market Today

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.4%, or 482 points, and the S&P 500 dropped 1.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite sold off 1.9%. Among exchange traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) moved down 1.7% and the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) fell 1.8%.

Electric vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) traded down 6.4% Monday. Among Dow Jones stocks, Apple (AAPL) declined 0.8% and Microsoft (MSFT) dropped 1.2% in today’s stock market.

Celsius (CELH), Chubb (CB), Dexcom (DXCM) and KLA (KLAC)— as well as Dow Jones names Caterpillar (CAT), Chevron (CVX) and Home Depot (HD) — are among the top stocks to buy and watch.

Dexcom is an IBD Leaderboard stock. Caterpillar and Home Depot were featured in this week’s Stocks Near A Buy Zone column. Celsius was a recent IBD 50 Stocks To Watch pick and a New America stock. Caterpillar was Thursday’s Stock Of The Day.


4 Top Growth Stocks To Buy And Watch In The Current Stock Market Rally


Dow Jones Futures Today: Oil Prices

Ahead of Tuesday’s opening bell, Dow Jones futures rose 0.2% vs. fair value, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.25%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.3% vs. fair value. Remember that overnight action in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

U.S. oil prices reversed from early gains to fall more than 3%. West Texas Intermediate futures traded just above $77 a barrel. Crude oil prices initially rose after the European Union sanctions on Russian crude oil went into full effect.


IBD’s latest newsletter, MarketDiem, gives you actionable ideas for stocks, options and crypto right in your inbox.


What To Do In The Stock Market Rally

Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column with the stock market trend back in a “confirmed uptrend.”

While it’s certainly true that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite are still in confirmed uptrends, the crop of actionable stocks has been disappointing. It hasn’t been easy increasing exposure.

When it comes to new buys, what kind of feedback are you getting? Are new buys making progress from buy points? In this case, it’s OK to give them some room. But don’t be afraid to take partial profits if a gain hits at least 10%. If new buys go the wrong way, cut losses when the stock is 3% to 4% down, instead of waiting for the 7% rule to trigger.

Light, flexible trading is the best course of action for now. If the uptrend starts to gain traction again, there will be plenty of opportunities to increase exposure. And don’t be afraid to look for early entries, rather than waiting for a stock to hit a conventional buy point.

Lake Victoria crash: Commercial aircraft plunges into lake in Tanzania



CNN
 — 

Several passengers on board a commercial flight operated by Precision Air which crashed into Lake Victoria in Tanzania on Sunday have been rescued, according to officials.

Boats with emergency response personnel were deployed to the crash site at Africa’s largest lake near Bukoba airport. It was not immediately clear how many passengers were on board or if there were any fatalities in the crash.

Speaking at the site, Kagera provincial police commander William Mwampaghale said “everything is currently under control.”

“Rescue operations are underway, we have so far rescued several people and eventually we will make sure we have rescued everyone and removed the airplane out of the water,” he said.

“Those who have been rescued have been taken to our referral hospital.”

Video circulating on social media taken by onlookers on the shores of Lake Victoria showed the aircraft submerged in the water with emergency responders coordinating rescue efforts from nearby boats.

Tanzania’s President took to social media to call for calm while rescuers worked at the site of a downed plane.

“I have received with sadness the information of the crash of the Precision Air flight at Lake Victoria, in the Kagera region,” President Samoa Suluhu wrote on Twitter Sunday.

“I send my condolences to all those affected by this incident. Let’s continue to be calm as the rescue operation continues and we pray to God to help us.”

Precision Air is a Tanzanian airline based out of Dar es Salaam.
