This comes in the wake of October’s manufacturing PMI data, which showed a significant contraction in UK factory activity, fueling fears of a recession.

On the other hand, the euro weakened due to a lack of data on All Saints’ Day and a 0.1% drop in the eurozone’s GDP…

CNN  —  Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema decided to shake up the political world on Friday by becoming an independent. The former Democrat is still caucusing with the party in the Senate, so the Democratic caucus still has 51 members.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration (Reuters) – American Electric Power (NASDAQ:) on Thursday beat profit estimates for the third quarter, as the utility benefited from higher electricity rates and customer additions. That helped the company, one of the largest electricity producers in the United States, to cushion the impact of soaring costs driven by higher interest rates. Operating earnings in its transmission and distribution unit, which includes Ohio Power, rose to $206 million for the quarter, from $165 million last year. The…

© Reuters.

Demand for clear aligners and non-urgent procedures including orthodontic treatment initially recovered this year after a poor 2022 but since then demand, especially for higher-end restorative procedures and adult clear aligners, has waned due to economic uncertainties in some of its markets. Pennsylvania-based Dentsply sells clear dental aligners under the brand names SureSmile and Byte. The company now expects total fiscal 2023 revenue between $3.90…
