By Sinéad Carew and Sruthi Shankar Dec 19 (Reuters) - Wall Street equities closed lower on Monday for a fourth straight session with Nasdaq leading declines as investors shied away from riskier bets, worried the Federal Reserve's tightening campaign could push the U.S. economy into a recession. The three major U.S. stock indexes have been pressured since Wednesday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell took a hawkish tone when the central bank raised interest rates. Powell promised further increases even as weak data showed signs of a weakening economy. The S&P 500, the Dow Jones industrials and the Nasdaq have sold off sharply for December and are on track for their biggest annual declines since the 2008 financial crisis. U.S. Treasury yields gained as investors girded for a potential recession in 2023, forsaking stocks for safer options, according to Brian Overby, senior markets strategist at Ally. "Investors are asking why do I want to take those risks going into 2023 with the Fed's stance still aggressive when I can get such a good yield on the fixed income market place," said Overby. The lack of big earnings reports or economic data on Monday sharpened investors' focus on economic fears and interest rates, according to Melissa Brown, Global Head of Applied Research at Qontigo in New York. "It's a knife edge between whether we're going to teeter into a recession or have a soft landing. Is the Fed acting appropriately?" said Brown who also noted that moves may be exaggerated as many investors take vacation around the end-of-year holidays. "Investors have not necessarily changed their view in aggregate but those who have are driving the market right now and driving bigger changes in stock prices because of low trading volume," she said. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 35.20 points, or 0.91%, to end at 3,817.16 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 156.66 points, or 1.46%, to 10,548.75. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 161.48 points, or 0.49%, to 32,758.98. Big sector decliners included communications services , technology and consumer discretionary while energy outperformed. Market heavyweights such as Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp and Amazon.com Inc created some of the biggest drags on the market. Trading in Tesla Inc was volatile with the electric carmaker falling as much as 2.8% during the session following a Twitter poll that showed a majority of respondents want Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk to step down as CEO of the social media platform. Meta Platforms shares fell after the European Commission said it could impose a fine of up to 10% of the tech conglomerate's annual global turnover if evidence showed an infringement of the EU's antitrust laws. L3Harris Technologies Inc lost ground after the U.S. defense contractor [https://heylink.me/slotpulsathailand slot thailand pulsa] said it would buy hypersonic engine manufacturer Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc for $4.7 billion. Aerojet gained ground. Shares of casino operators Melco Resorts & Entertainment , Las Vegas Sands Corp and Wynn Resorts fell after Macau said on Friday that six casino firms will invest around $15 billion as part of new 10-year contracts they signed to operate in the world's biggest gambling hub.

NSW Govt To Hike Star Crown Casino Taxes

NSW casinos would pay more tax on poker machine and table-game earnings from July next year under a plan touted to raise over $350 million in three years. Treasurer Matt Kean said the reforms would help support the state's fiscal sustainability and assist in funding vital services following the COVID-19 pandemic, bushfires and floods. The government forecasts the changes will raise $364 million over the next three years. "It's important that casinos pay their fair share of tax. These reformed tax rates will replace the existing regime under which casinos pay less tax on poker machines than hotels and clubs," Mr Kean said in a statement on Saturday. "These changes will ensure that the casinos continue to make an appropriate contribution to the community and support the delivery of vital Government services." The updated poker machine rate would bring NSW into line with Victoria, following recent reforms to casino taxation arrangements announced in this year's Victorian Budget, he said. The government is expected to propose a tiered taxation system mirroring the Victorian regime, with a top tax rate on casino poker machines of 60.67 per cent. Mr Kean said casinos provide employment and entertainment for thousands of people across the State and these changes will support the venues' "ongoing contribution to the NSW economy". The reforms, which come amid upheaval in the state's gaming sector, will apply to both The Star Sydney and [https://heylink.me/slotpulsathailand slot thailand pulsa] Crown Resorts' Sydney casino at Barangaroo, which opened this year after more than two years of regulatory troubles. In October, the NSW casino regulator suspended Star's Sydney casino licence and fined its owner Star Entertainment $100 million after an inquiry revealed a litany of compliance failures. Earlier this month, ASIC launched court action against 11 current and former Star directors and executives over alleged legal breaches related to money laundering.

By Gopal Sharma KATHMANDU, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Charles Sobhraj, a convicted killer who police suspect was responsible for a string of murders in the 1970s and 1980s, is due to be freed on Thursday after nearly 20 years in prison in Nepal, his lawyer said. Sobhraj, 78, a French national, is suspected of killing more than 20 Western backpackers on the "hippie trail" through Asia, usually by drugging their food or drink in the course of robbing them. He had been held in a high-security jail in Kathmandu since 2003, when he was arrested on charges of murdering American backpacker Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975. Sobhraj denied killing the American woman and his lawyers said the charge against him was based on assumption. Several years later he was also found guilty of killing Bronzich's Canadian friend, Laurent Carriere. But he was suspected of many more murders. [https://heylink.me/slotpulsathailand slot thailand pulsa], where he was known as the "bikini killer", issued a warrant for his arrest in the mid-1970s on charges of drugging and killing six women, some of whom turned up dead on a beach near the resort of Pattaya. He was, however, jailed in India before he could stand trial on those charges. Nepal's Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered his release from prison, where he has served 19 years of his 20-year sentence, citing his age. Sobhraj is expected to walk out of a high-security prison in Kathmandu after 10 a.m. (0415 GMT), his lawyer Ram Bandhu Sharma, told Reuters. He is expected to be taken to immigration department for paperwork before being sent to France in the next 15 days, Sharma said. Sobhraj was born to an Indian father and Vietnamese mother. Associates have described him as a con artist, a seducer, a robber and a murderer. He was also known as "the serpent" because of his ability to disguise himself following his escape from a prison in India in the mid-1980s. He was later caught and jailed there until 1997. He returned to France following his release in India but in 2003 was arrested at a casino in Kathmandu in connection with the 1975 murders of Bronzich and Carriere. Last year, the BBC and Netflix jointly produced a TV series dramatizing his crimes called "The Serpent." (Reporting by Gopal Sharma; writing by Shilpa Jamkhandikar; editing by Robert Birsel)

Macau Casinos apos; New Contracts To Sharpen Focus On Non-gaming Activities

HONG KONG, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Macau's six incumbent casino firms are set to sign new 10-year contracts on Friday to operate in the world's biggest gambling hub, easing fears of investors and executives after a lengthy bidding process that had threatened to end one company's run. Incumbent operators Sands China, Wynn Macau , Galaxy Entertainment, MGM China, Melco Resorts and SJM Holdings beat off a surprise bid from Malaysia's Genting to win the six licences on offer in the Chinese special administrative region. The new contracts, which will come into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, will be signed at Macau's Government House on Friday by CEOs of the casino companies and the territory's officials. The operators are expected to focus on non-gaming activities in the new term, particularly as Beijing is keen for Macau to diversify away from gambling and attract foreign tourists. Some analysts expect them to make non-gaming investments of up to $15 billion cumulatively over the next decade. The stakes could not have been higher for the six companies, who depend on Macau's gambling industry for their profitability but have been bleeding billions of dollars for most of the past two years due to China's strict COVID-19 rules. A broader crackdown by Beijing on capital outflows from the mainland in recent years, including arresting well known gambling executives in the former Portuguese colony, has also decimated the once dominant and lucrative VIP sector. Genting, with its strong non-gaming track record and mass market appeal, was a credible threat for the Macau operators, many executives and analysts have said. Previous attempts by Macau to diversify have been unsuccessful, with casino operators shying away from investing in non-gaming due to the high costs, particularly as the gambling industry was far more lucrative. Macau's gambling industry currently accounts for more than 80% of government revenues. But Macau's government laid out conditions in the bidding that it wants the new license holders to prioritise safeguarding local employment, develop the city's overseas tourism market and boost investment in non-gaming areas, including conferences and Chinese medicine. While the government's awarding of licenses to incumbents signals stability and continuity for [https://heylink.me/slotpulsathailand slot pulsa thailand] the tens of thousands of local residents employed by them, the companies will face far greater accountability on non-gaming initiatives than in the last 20 years, executives and analysts said. Operators are expected to invest a total of 100 billion-120 billion Macau patacas ($12.5 billion-$15 billion) in non-gaming over the next decade, with Sands and Galaxy each committing around 25 billion patacas, and the rest putting up 15 billion patacas, said DS Kim, analyst at J.P. Morgan in Hong Kong. "These projects will bring new players and tourists into the city, who in turn will spend sizable dollars on gambling," he said. Macau is heavily reliant on Chinese visitors. Tourists from greater China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, account for more than 90% of total visitation. (Reporting by Farah Master; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

US STOCKS-S P 500 Nasdaq Fall On Rate Worries Tesla Struggles...

L3Harris slides after $4.7 bln Aerojet deal * Fed policy worries dominate mood * Indexes: Dow up 0.23%, S&P off 0.15%, Nasdaq down 0.64% (Updates to market open) By Shubham Batra and Johann M Cherian Dec 19 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq slipped on Monday, adding to the market's recent string of losses, on worries that rising U.S. interest rates will hurt economic growth, while Tesla's shares struggled after a poll called for Elon Musk to quit as Twitter's CEO. Shares of the electric-car maker edged down 1% following strong premarket gains in the wake of a Twitter poll that showed majority of users voted for Elon Musk to step down as chief executive of the social media platform. The benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost over 2% each last week after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled more policy tightening, and the central bank projected that interest rates would top the 5% mark in 2023, a level not seen since 2007. "There's residual negativity from the Fed's more hawkish comments, concerns about where interest rates are going to end up next year and what that is going to do to valuations," Michael James, senior vice president of institutional equity trading at Wedbush Securities. "When people adjust their expectations after the Fed meeting, higher rates typically imply more compressed multiples for growth stocks." Further, hawkish messages delivered by three Fed officials including New York Fed President John Williams last week underscored the U.S. central bank's determination to do what it takes to ease price pressures. Still, money market participants are pricing in 65% chance of a 25 basis points rate hike in February to 4.5%-4.75%, with a terminal rate of 4.84% in May 2023. Economic data this week including housing starts, consumer confidence, weekly jobless claims and core personal consumption spending growth for November will set the investor mood, providing more clues on future rate hikes by the central bank. At 10:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 75.05 points, or 0.23%, at 32,995.51, the S&P 500 was down 5.68 points, or 0.15%, at 3,846.68, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 68.24 points, [https://heylink.me/slotpulsathailand slot thailand pulsa] or 0.64%, at 10,637.17. Six of the 11 major S&P sectors were lower in morning trade, with rate-sensitive technology, consumer discretionary and communication services leading declines. Meta Platforms fell 3.0% after the European Commission said it could impose a fine of up to 10% of the tech conglomerate's annual global turnover if evidence showed an infringement of the EU's antitrust laws. L3Harris Technologies Inc lost 3.4% after the U.S. defense contractor said it would buy hypersonic engine manufacturer Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc for $4.7 billion. Aerojet added 1.6%. Shares of casino operators Melco Resorts & Entertainment , Las Vegas Sands Corp and Wynn Resorts fell in the range of 1.9% and 7.9% after Macau said on Friday six casino firms will invest around $15 billion as part of new 10-year contracts they signed to operate in the world's biggest gambling hub. Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.23-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and 1.63-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded five new 52-week highs and eight new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded two new highs and 59 new lows.
