Spirit Airlines has filed for bankruptcy protection after facing ongoing quarterly losses and significant debt.

The right to repair movement is gaining momentum amid political shifts, with advocates like Kyle Wiens emphasizing bipartisan support for repairability across various sectors. While federal progress has been slow, local and state efforts continue to thrive, bolstered by international regulations promoting device interoperability. The potential for increased competition and consumer-focused policies under the new administration could further enhance repair initiatives, encouraging a culture of maintenance over disposal.
The Indian government is considering lifting the suspension on futures trading for oil, oilseeds, and pulses, following pressure from the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). While discussions are ongoing, the ban on paddy and wheat futures is expected to remain. The NCDEX is advocating for the resumption of trading, citing the need for market maturity and reduced reliance on international price signals, as India imports a significant portion of its edible oil.
Global markets are shifting as CLSA adopts an overweight stance on Indian equities, with Moody's projecting India's growth at 7.2% for 2024 amidst global economic challenges.

U.S. markets experienced significant fluctuations as Bitcoin faced its steepest decline since the election, fueled by uncertainty over President-elect Trump's crypto policies. Nvidia's AI chips encountered overheating issues, while Tesla could benefit from a potential EV tax credit phase-out. Meanwhile, Buffett's investments in Domino's and Pool Corp boosted their stock prices.
Restaurant executives are optimistic about 2025 following a challenging 2024 marked by a 50% increase in bankruptcy filings and declining traffic. However, recent data shows a 2.8% rise in fast-food traffic in October, and falling interest rates may boost consumer confidence and restaurant growth. Despite this, some chains continue to face headwinds, with value competition intensifying and concerns about a slow consumer recovery lingering.
