US stocks extend their slide for a fourth straight session as both the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq (^IXIC) close below their 50-day moving averages — a technical breakdown that triggered algorithmic selling across major indices. The weakness mirrors global markets, with Tokyo and Seoul each down 3%. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) briefly fell below $90,000 for the first time in seven months, officially wiping out its year-to-date gains and dragging crypto-linked stocks and ETFs lower. Home Depot (HD) cut its full-year profit forecast after missing earnings for the third straight quarter, citing weak housing turnover, cautious consumers, and home improvement demand that “never materialized” during Q3. Shares fell more than 3% as the retailer now expects adjusted earnings to decline about 5% for the year. The results arrive ahead of key retail reports from Lowe’s (LOW), Target (TGT), and Walmart (WMT) later this week. Early economic data from ADP showed private-sector job losses for two consecutive weeks, while delayed government numbers continue to trickle out post-shutdown — including initial jobless claims that remain historically low. Meanwhile, the White House prepares to welcome Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for a high-profile visit expected to produce multi-billion-dollar agreements across AI infrastructure, defense, energy, and critical minerals. Takeaways: S&P 500 and Nasdaq break below 50-day moving averages, triggering algorithmic selling Bitcoin drops under $90K, erasing all 2025 gains; crypto stocks slide in sympathy Home Depot cuts guidance as housing softness and consumer caution hit results ADP shows two weeks of job losses; government data returning slowly after shutdown Saudi Crown Prince meets President Trump as US–Saudi economic and defense ties deepen Yahoo Finance's flagship show, Morning Brief, is your go-to source for smarter investing and market moves.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
