U.S. futures slipped Thursday evening stateside. Asia-Pacific markets climbed Friday. Earlier this year, Meta tried to acquire Safe Superintelligence, the artificial intelligence startup launched by OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, sources said. Japan’s core inflation rate climbed to 3.7% in May, the highest since January 2023 and more than the 3.6% expected by economists polled by Reuters. Shares of Pop Mart, the toymaker behind the smash hit Labubu, continued to tumble Friday as state media criticized the “blind box” concept. Airbus had racked up nearly $21 billion of orders at the Paris Air Show as of Thursday morning, per a Reuters calculation. Since May 3, when Warren Buffett announced his plans to step down as CEO, Berkshire Hathaway stock has lost more than 10%.The conflict between Israel and Iran is intensifying, with both countries not backing down from strikes and their leaders continuing to issue heated rhetoric. The prospect of the United States potentially joining the fray — which Russia warned would cause “a terrible spiral of escalation” — is putting the world on a knife’s edge.That unease is reflected in the markets. While U.S. exchanges were closed Thursday for a holiday, futures retreated in the evening local time. Across the Atlantic, travel and leisure stocks suffered the most as the Middle East conflict cast a shadow over international aviation.At the Paris Air Show, however, aircraft manufacturers are still booking billions in orders. Airbus had secured more than $20 billion in deals as of Thursday, according to Reuters calculations. That said, those encouraging numbers may not reflect immediate optimism about the global economy or geopolitics — aircrafts take years to deliver, and both Airbus and Boeing have a backlog of more than 8,000 and 5,000 aircrafts respectively.Until investors get a clearer sense of whether the U.S. will launch strikes on Iran, markets aren’t likely to find solid ground.— Yeo Boon PingWhat you need to know todayU.S. futures slip after trading reopensU.S. futures slipped Thursday evening stateside.

The surge in rice prices comes as Japan’s annual core inflation rate, which excludes fresh food costs, climbed to 3.7% in May, the highest since January 2023 and more than the 3.6% expected by economists polled by Reuters.Labubu-maker’s shares slumpHong Kong-listed shares of Pop Mart, the toymaker behind the smash hit Labubu, continued to tumble Friday. Pop Mart first gained popularity with its “blind box” concept, a business model criticized by People’s Daily, the Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper, on Friday. Morgan Stanley said in a note late Wednesday it was replacing Pop Mart with insurance company PICC P&C in the firm’s China and Hong Kong focus list.Airbus stole the show in ParisAirbus dominated the order books at the Paris Air Show. The European aircraft manufacturer had racked up nearly $21 billion of orders as of Thursday morning, per a Reuters calculation.

Although the Federal Reserve hasn’t changed its benchmark since December, the average credit card interest rate keeps inching higher. In part, card issuers are trying to protect themselves from riskier borrowers.Emirmemedovski | E+ | Getty ImagesEven with the Federal Reserve on the sidelines, credit card rates are edging higher.In June, credit card interest rates rose for the third straight month, hitting the highest level since December, according to a recent report by LendingTree.Now, the average annual percentage rate is just over 20%, according to Bankrate. For new cards, the average APR is up to 24.3%, according to LendingTree.“These are crippling rates that are compounding your debt at such a fast clip,” said certified financial planner Clifford Cornell, an associate financial advisor at Bone Fide Wealth in New York City. Here’s a look at other stories affecting the financial advisor business. 3 key money moves to consider while the Fed keeps interest rates higherThe average 401(k) savings rate hit a record high. See if you’re on trackAmericans believe real estate, gold are the best long-term investmentsCredit card rates stayed stable for years after the introduction of the Credit CARD Act, which passed in 2009, but shot up after the Fed started raising rates in 2015. In the decade since, APRs roughly doubled from 12% to where they stand today.Most credit cards have a variable rate so there’s a direct connection to the Fed’s benchmark.It follows that credit card rates spiked again along with the central bank’s string of 11 rate hikes starting in March 2022.Although the Fed cut its key borrowing rate benchmark three times in 2024 and has held its benchmark steady since December, banks continued to raise credit card interest rates to record levels — and some issuers said they’ll keep those higher rates in place.“This unfortunate trend could continue in coming months,” said Matt Schulz, LendingTree’s chief credit analyst.Why some APRs are still risingCard issuers are mitigating their exposure against borrowers who may fall behind on payments or default, according to Schulz. “This is a sign of banks trying to protest themselves from the risk that is out there in these uncertain times,” he said.But it’s also a two-way street. “When there is uncertainty in the market, this often results in consumers seeking new credit to ensure they are prepared for any future financial hurdles,” said Charlie Wise, senior vice president and head of global research and consulting at TransUnion. That also has the effect of driving issuers to increase APRs.“If more balances in the hands of riskier borrowers, those rates will trend higher,” Wise said.How to avoid sky-high interest chargesOnly consumers who carry a balance from month to month feel the pain of high APRs. And higher APRs only kick in for new loans, not old debts, as in the case of new applicants for credit cards.But for those currently struggling with sky-high interest charges, even an eventual Fed rate cut may not provide much relief.“The reality is you could drop the fed funds rate by two full basis points and all you are doing is lowering your interest rate from 22% to 20%,” Wise said — “that’s not a material difference.”Rather than wait for a rate cut that may be months away, borrowers could switch now to a zero-interest balance transfer credit card or consolidate and pay off high-interest credit cards with a lower-rate personal loan, Schulz advised.“The truth is that people have way more power over the rates they pay than they think they do, especially if they have good credit,” Schulz said.The better your credit, the lower the rate you may get offered for a new card account.Cardholders who pay their balances in full and on time and keep their utilization rate — or the ratio of debt to total credit — below 30% of their available credit, can also benefit from credit card rewards and a higher credit score, experts say. That paves the way to lower-cost loans and better terms going forward.Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.

Liquidity Floodgates Open As 3 Central Banks Unexpectedly Cut Rates In Under 24 Hours Trump has repeatedly expressed his displeasure with the ECB cutting rates 8 times since the end of the central bank's hiking cycle one year ago; he certainly won't be happy that three other European central banks joined the easing fray overnight as the global economy once again careens toward the abyss.In the span of less than 24 hours, three rate cuts by three central banks in Europe underscored the dramatic global shift toward policy easing as monetary officials seek to manage "the fallout from Trump’s unpredictable trade policies" as Bloomberg puts it, but really that's just a diversion for the real cause: global economic slowdown now that the last traces of stimulus from the post-covid monetary and fiscal bonanza fade away.Central bankers in Switzerland and Sweden had suggested as recently as March that they were likely done easing, but the Swiss National Bank instead trimmed borrowing costs by 25 basis points on Thursday - and becoming the first major bank to cut rates back to zero (and in some cases, negative) - following a similar move by Sweden’s Riksbank a day earlier. And an easing pivot by Norway, also on Thursday, was altogether more dramatic, with another quarter-point cut that none of the economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted.With policy decisions from at least 18 central banks managing more than 40% of the global economy scheduled for this week, the easing across much of Europe contrasted with a wait-and-see approach predominating around the world. Also on Thursday, the Bank of England held rates but the much more dovish than expected decision (6-3 voted to keep rates unchanged, while expectations were for a 7-2 split) sent the pound sliding. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve, and Bank of Japan both held, the first however because it has a political vendetta against Trump...The day is August 27, 2019. Former NY Fed president Bill Dudley writes a Bloomberg oped saying "the Fed shouldn't enable Donald Trump" and urged the central bank not to "provide offsetting stimulus" in Trump's trade war with China.Six years later, here we are pic.twitter.com/H6WT5O0cMD— zerohedge (@zerohedge) April 11, 2025... and the second because it has no idea how to grow rice anymore and the local population has been crushed by surging food prices which somehow a stronger yen is expected to make better. All that comes against the backdrop of a July 9 deadline that could see the US reintroduce punitive trade tariffs across the world. Combined with continued uncertainty over the war in Ukraine and a potential US strike on Iran, it’s left some policymakers unwilling or unable to move.Meanwhile, the reasons for the rate cuts in Sweden, Norway and Switzerland are all linked to inflation, even if the situations diverge.Swiss consumer prices fell 0.1% from a year ago in May and new SNB forecasts published Thursday show inflation will average just 0.2% this year. That’s primarily due to the haven franc, which has appreciated against the dollar and euro since Trump took office.Price pressure in Sweden, whose currency has soared against the dollar in 2025, has eased after a temporary spike at the start of the year and as a nascent rebound in the largest Nordic nation has fizzled out. That’s allowing space for more stimulus, Riksbank Governor Erik Thedeen said Wednesday.The krona has been the best performer this year in the G-10 of major currency holders, surging 15% against the dollar, and also helping to reduce the risk of imported inflation.In Norway, price growth has been stickier over the last year, partly due to a weaker performance of the krone. Even so, the local core CPI last month matched this year’s lowest level, at 2.8%. The Norwegian central bank now sees headline price growth next year at 2.2%, down from 2.7% seen in March, while this year’s inflation is still seen at 3%.The three institutions are also at very different stages in their policy paths: Norway’s Thursday move is its first post-pandemic reduction in borrowing costs, while Sweden and Switzerland carried out their seventh and six moves respectively. Uniting them, however, is the fact that they all may cut again. Riksbank’s Thedeen and Norges Bank Governor Ida Wolden Bache both told reporters as much, while SNB President Martin Schlegel wouldn’t exclude such an option, even if that would push the Swiss rate into negative territory.Which again begs the question: just how deflationary are tariffs anyway?

One of the most challenging characters to unlock in Disney Dreamlight Valley is Jack Skellington. While most villagers have realms or special questlines attached to them, Jack is all about finding mysterious dolls that power a treehouse for him. You even need to meet him to unlock Sally later.Jack Skellington's introductory quest isn't even particularly difficult. Instead, it can feel frustrating if you fall into a certain category of unlucky players who struggle to find small objects. There are a few steps to get through, so let’s get started.Table of contentsHow to unlock Jack Skellington in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to find the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight ValleyWhat to do with the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to unlock Jack Skellington in Disney Dreamlight ValleyScreenshot by DestructoidJack is unlocked by completing a quest called “Something Comes A’Knocking.” You can start the mission after meeting the following requirements:Unlock the Forgotten Lands (15,000 Dreamlight)Restore all six of the Pillars around the Valley:Pillar of Friendship (Peaceful Meadow)Pillar of Power (Dazzle Beach)Pillar of Trust (Glade of Trust)Pillar of Nurturing (Sunlit Plateau)Pillar of Courage (Forest of Valor)Pillar of Love (Frosted Heights)Unlock the Fairy Godmother and complete the quest “Miracles Take Time”Find a Matryoshka DollAfter you’ve completed “Miracles Take Time,” a mysterious tree will emerge in the Forgotten Lands that has a pumpkin carved on it. It’s a familiar tree for any fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, and this is the beginning of your efforts to unlock Jack. Sadly, you don't actually get to visit Pumpkin Town.How to find the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight ValleyBefore you meet Jack for the first time, you’ll need to find four Matryoshka Dolls. They're all different sizes, from a big one down to a tiny version. They can spawn anywhere in the village, including in the Forgotten Lands, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for them while you go about your duties. They’ll be surrounded by the same golden glitter effect as any other quest item. Image by DestructoidMatryoshka Doll spawns are completely random. Even if you search YouTube videos or ask a friend where they found theirs, it won't help much, as you'll likely have entirely different spawn locations. Nonetheless, you can use the image above to gauge what they look like and get an idea of what to look for.If you've been wandering around your Valley for hours looking for your last Matryoshka Dolls, I recommend opening your furniture menu and moving around your items. Odds are, a doll is hiding under one of your furniture items, especially if you have a very decorated Valley. Your decorations could be hiding the Dolls, and going into the furniture menu allows you to move items around to see beneath them. Moving around this way is also much quicker than physically running around to locate the Dolls, especially since their glow can appear as your camera pans over them if you're within range.What to do with the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight ValleyScreenshot by DestructoidWhen you’ve eventually gathered up all four differently-sized Dolls, go back to the Forgotten Lands and make your way to the pumpkin tree. You’ll be able to place all four of the Dolls in front of the tree one by one, which will cause Jack to appear. You'll also get to keep the Dolls, and they make for cute decorations.All that’s left to do from there is to build Jack’s house. It’s a shrunken-down version of his house from the film and costs 5,000 Star Coins to build. With that done, Jack will be moving in and making himself at home in no time. Just don't leave him in charge of presents at Christmas.The post How to complete Something Comes A’Knocking in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.

Star Path events in Disney Dreamlight Valley are full of riddles for you to solve in exchange for redeeming reward tokens. One difficult example is giving a clumsy villager his favorites. Who is this mysterious clumsy villager, and what are the favorites the task is referring to? That's what we're here to answer today. Let's dive into exactly how to find a clumsy villager in Disney Dreamlight Valley, the best ways to give them their favorite gifts, and why you might want to do so.Table of contentsHow to find a clumsy villager in Disney Dreamlight ValleyWhat are the clumsy villager's favorites in Disney Dreamlight Valley?How to find a clumsy villager in Disney Dreamlight ValleyThe clumsy villager you're looking for is Goofy. While some would argue that characters like Donald Duck and Olaf are clumsy, Goofy is the character you'll have to give gifts to for this Star Path duty. By finding Goofy in Dreamlight Valley, Eternity Isle, or the Storybook Vale, you can give him three gifts and quickly knock out this duty without any issues.Screenshot by DestructoidIf you can't find Goofy anywhere, there's usually one of three reasons. The first is that he's asleep if you're logging on between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. Outside these hours, you may not notice his portrait if he's in a busy location, such as inside Chez Remy or Scrooge McDuck's shop. Alternatively, if you have the Rift in Time or The Storybook Vale expansions, he may be roaming around Eternity Isle or the Vale rather than Dreamlight Valley.What are the clumsy villager's favorites in Disney Dreamlight Valley?Goofy's "favorites" refers to his three daily preferred gifts. Depending on the Star Path event, this can range from three to five required items. You can find this exact list in the Collection log under characters. Hovering over his portrait reveals his three favorite items for the day, which you can gift him to complete the Star Path task.The exact requirements and rewards vary with each Star Path even you complete. During this task's first appearance, Majesty and Magnolias, you received 20 tokens for gifting three favorite items to Goofy. With the more recent Adventures in Never Land Star Path, you obtained the same reward but need to give him five gifts instead of three.In other words, you can complete this in one to two days if you gather all three gifts per day. Otherwise, if you're missing one or two, you'll have to wait another day to wrap up the task and claim your reward. Since events like Adventures in Never Land raise the objective to five gifts, you'll need at least two to three days to finish this task instead. Plan ahead so you can complete this in time for the event's end.The post How to give a clumsy villager his favorites in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid.
