The Argentinians afterlife a horror story of allegations and legal wrangles has taken another turn The noise from the middle tier of the stand at the Spartak Stadium was strangely persistent, rising above the pre-match hum of Argentina versus Iceland in Moscow, the pitch a humid pocket of shade, the far end still pounded by heavy mid-afternoon sun. It was a banging noise. And a rattling noise. And a yelling noise. People had already begun to turn and point. Looking up, the first thing you saw from below was the fold of chins and sub-chins. Then it was the cigar, protruding like a gun snub above the lip of the balcony. And finally it was the face of Diego Maradona craning over the rail, arms spread in a papal gesture, and looking like, if not the most excited man of all time, then surely the most excited man yet.

Indians continue to take upskilling route for jobs
NEW DELHI: More and more Indians are arming themselves with skilling and up skilling courses under the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme to secure better jobs, with the program witnessing a 26 percent jump in enrollment in 2023-24 compared to the previous year, officials said Friday. The scheme, launched in 2016, saw an enrollment of 35,333 people in 2018-19. In 2023-24, the figure reached 931,406. In 2022-23, the total number of apprentices registered was 738,704. Maharashtra registered the maximum number of enrolments in the scheme. The state saw an impressive enrolment of 263,239, followed by Tamil Nadu with 101,519. The other states include Gujarat (83,611), Karnataka (78,497), and Uttar Pradesh (71,378). This staggering increase represents a significant Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 74.76% over the five years, the officials added. Officials said the enrolment of apprentices has witnessed remarkable growth over the past few years. This ambitious initiative has emerged as a game-changer, as it helped bridge the gap between formal education and industry demands while addressing the pressing issues of youth unemployment and underemployment, the officials added. The program has helped foster business growth and innovation while providing valuable on-the-job practical training and opportunities for aspiring professionals, they said. This relationship is driving inclusive economic development, empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds, and nurturing personal and professional growth across sectors, the official added. Apprentices not only receive training to enhance their capacity but are also offered stipend support. The schemes objectives include fostering a skilled workforce, facilitating up skilling opportunities, and encouraging apprenticeship enrolment in small enterprises and underserved regions, thus contributing to inclusive economic development and effectively addressing the skills gap in the country. The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), which manages the program, also oversees the operation of the apprenticeship portal, serving as a platform for facilitating the enrolment process. NSDC was set up as part of a national skill development mission in the country. NSDC is also responsible for disbursing partial stipend support to apprentices, both for designated and optional trades, through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism. It also undertakes capacity-building initiatives for stakeholders involved in the apprenticeship program, including organizing awareness campaigns, trade fairs (melas), workshops, seminars, and other events aimed at promoting the program and engaging with various participants. Officials added that by fostering inclusive skill development and creating employment opportunities, this scheme is not only empowering individuals but also shaping a workforce that is future-ready and adaptable to the ever-evolving demands of the industry.

US STOCKS-Wall St ends sharply higher, jobs data strengthens case for rate cuts
US STOCKS-Wall St ends sharply higher, jobs data strengthens case for rate cuts Wall Street surged to a higher close on Friday as a softer-than-expected employment report bolstered the case for rate cuts from the Federal Reserve while also providing evidence of U.S. economic resilience. All three major U.S. stock posted robust gains. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the pack, rising 2% with an assist from Apple shares following the iPhone maker's record share buyback announcement. All three indexes notched their second straight Friday-to-Friday gains, capping a week in which markets were encouraged by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's more dovish-than-expected statements following Wednesday's rate decision. The Labor Department's employment report showed the U.S. economy added fewer jobs than expected, while the unemployment rate ticked higher and wage growth unexpectedly cooled. The report likely hit the sweet spot for the Fed, offering signs the labor market is softening, which Powell has deemed necessary to put inflation on a sustainable downward path. The report also provided assurances on U.S. economic health. The report prompted investors to raise bets the Fed would implement its first rate reduction in September. The investor narrative remains the Fed and interest rates and todays weak jobs report puts rate cuts firmly on the Feds 2024 agenda, said Greg Bassuk, CEO at AXS Investments in New York. And while 'higher for longer' remains the roadmap, this economic data is being warmly embraced by investors, Wall Street and Main Street, across all sectors Fed officials weighed in on the data. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman reiterated her willingness to hike rates if inflation progress reverses, and Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said the employment report boosted confidence the economy is not overheating. Let's remember, it's early May; we shouldn't pretend that the year's over or somehow every card has been played, said Oliver Pursche, senior vice president at Wealthspire Advisors, in New York. But I don't think for a second that any Fed official really believes that a rate hike is appropriate given current conditions and data.

US STOCKS-Wall St rallies as soft jobs data makes case for Fed policy easing
US STOCKS-Wall St rallies as soft jobs data makes case for Fed policy easing Wall Street rallied on Friday as a softer-than-expected employment report appeared to support the case for Federal Reserve policy easing while also providing evidence of U.S. economic resiliency. All three major U.S. stock indexes were firmly in positive territory, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the pack with an assist from Apple shares following its share buyback announcement.

The report also provided assurances on U.S. economic health. The report prompted investors to raise bets that the Fed would implement its first rate reduction in September. This report is not too hot not too cold and it's just what the Fed wants to see, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. We need more evidence but if we continue on this path it could change the timing of an interest rate cut, and it could mean instead of one, we might be looking at two rate cuts this year.

WRAPUP 2-Weaker US jobs data soothes Fed worries of renewed overheating
WRAPUP 2-Weaker US jobs data soothes Fed worries of renewed overheating Federal Reserve officials, buffeted by concerns the economy might again overheat, got relief on Friday when jobs data for April showed a marked cooling in wage growth and a pace of hiring in line with levels seen before the COVID-19 pandemic. The gain of 175,000 payroll jobs last month was the lowest in more than a year, while the 3.9% annual change in average hourly earnings was the smallest since May of 2021 and continued what has been a steady decline towards the mid-3% range which policymakers feel is consistent with their 2% inflation target. It was still a solid report in terms of the numbers of jobs generated, said Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, but more like the type of employment growth seen before the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore a boost to confidence that the economy is not again overheating. The more jobs numbers like the ones we saw today, the more you see easing of inflation, the more comfort ... I would have, Goolsbee said on Bloomberg Television. He did not say, however, if he expected the Fed to cut rates this year. Inflation hit a bump at the start of this year, Goolsbee said. We have go to get comfort it is not a sign of reacceleration. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, who has been among the more ardent voices on the steps needed to control inflation, said after the release of the data that her outlook remained hat inflation will decline further with the policy rate held steady. Bowman, along with all other members of the central bank's policy-setting committee, voted earlier this week to keep the policy interest rate steady in the current 5.25%-5.50% range. 'SOFT LANDING' Traders responded to the jobs data by adding to bets that the Fed will deliver its first rate cut in September and likely follow with a second quarter-percentage-point cut in December. Both probabilities had been sliding as inflation data ran hotter than anticipated and Fed officials at their April 30-May 1 meeting noted the lack of recent progress in lowering the pace of price increases. Other data, such as a slowdown in overall output, was dismissed as masking strong underlying demand, while a weak productivity reading for the first three months of the year raised the possibility that a key force helping to slow inflation may be of less assistance in the months ahead. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell in his post-meeting press conference on Wednesday cited an array of indicators he felt showed the labor market moving towards better alignment between the hiring demands of employers and the number of people looking for jobs. Data on job openings, the rate at which workers are quitting jobs, and the pace at which firms are hiring, have all indicated some softening in the labor market. In surveys of workers and businesses, answers to questions about the ease of finding jobs or filling positions have come back down to pre-pandemic levels, Powell said. The weaker-than-expected jobs gain in April was a wide miss from the 243,000 additional positions expected by economists in a Reuters poll. But it also hit a spot that Powell and his colleagues may see as bolstering their hopes of a soft landing in which inflation is tamed without a major hit to employment or a painful recession. While the jobless rate rose one-tenth of a percentage point to 3.9%, it remained below the 4.1% figure Fed officials at the median feel is aligned with their 2% inflation target. The jobs growth last month also remained close to the monthly average of 183,000 seen in the decade before the pandemic, and above the roughly 100,000 that policymakers feel is needed to accommodate population growth. A 175,000 per month pace is still plenty good enough to absorb new entrants into the labor force and sustain a low unemployment rate, said Thomas Simons, senior U.S. economist at Jefferies.

Kunal Ghosh has caused more damage than opposition: Partha Chatterjee on Ghosh's school jobs scam remark Former West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee on Friday launched a scathing attack on TMC leader Kunal Ghosh, saying that the latter has caused more damage than the opposition and should have been expelled from the party much earlier. Kunal Ghosh should have been expelled from the party long ago. He has caused much more damage than the opposition. After coming to jail, I came to know about the heinous activities done by Kunal, he said. Partha Chatterjee's comment comes after Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh on Thursday said that the TMC was aware of the school recruitment scam, adding that that is the main reason why the TMC party removed Partha Chatterjee from the Education Department in 2021. One month ago, I had asked the party to release me from my duties. I was also on the star campaigners' list, but now I am not. The party has given a chance to new faces, this is a good thing... The party had information for a long time that something was wrong in the job recruitment case. This is why Partha Chatterjee was removed from the Education Department in 2021. If the party had seriously intervened in the matter, job seekers wouldn't have to face any trouble. We could have stopped the system from going uneasy, Ghosh told ANI. In 2022, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested the West Bengal Education Minister and TMC leader Partha Chatterjee in connection with the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC) teacher recruitment scam. Chatterjee is currently lodged at the Presidency Correctional Home. After being spotted at a blood donation camp alongside the BJP's Kolkata Uttar candidate Tapas Roy, where he sang his praises, Kunal was promptly removed as the TMC general secretary. An official communication to this effect was issued by the Mamata Banerjee-led party on Thursday. In the official communication following his removal as general secretary, the TMC said the views he expressed at the public event did align with the party's position and shouldn't be attributed to it.

FOREX-Dollar drops as employers add fewer jobs than expected in April
FOREX-Dollar drops as employers add fewer jobs than expected in April The dollar fell to a three-week low against the yen on Friday after data showed that U.S. jobs growth slowed more than expected in April and annual wage gains cooled, boosting bets that the Federal Reserve will cut rates twice this year. Employers added 175,000 jobs last month, below economists' expectations for a 243,000 increase. Wages increased 3.9% in the 12 months through April, below expectations for a 4.0% gain after rising 4.1% in March. The unemployment rate rose to 3.9% from 3.8%, still staying below 4% for the 27th straight month. The data's soft across the board from the Fed's perspective, said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy and research at Glenmede in Philadelphia. Fed funds futures traders raised bets that the Fed would cut rates twice this year, with 49 basis points of easing now priced in, up from 42 basis points before the data. The market at this point is so hoping that the Fed can cut rates this year and did not want one of the hot numbers coming in. Today's report certainly offers them a cooler read of the labor landscape, said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial in Charlotte. Still, the report itself is unlikely to sway Fed policy unless the trend continues. An unemployment rate of 3.9% is not something disastrous. This indicates an economy that is not declining dramatically, but it definitely indicates a looser labor market, said Pride. It gives the Fed some hope, but it does not establish the trend for them. The Fed said at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Wednesday that sticky inflation meant that it would take longer to cut rates. Other data on Friday showed that the U.S. services sector contracted in March, while a measure of prices paid by businesses for inputs jumped, a worrisome sign for the outlook on inflation. The dollar index was last down 0.21% at 105.08 after earlier reaching 104.52, the lowest since April 10. The euro gained 0.31% to $1.0758. The greenback weakened 0.51% to 152.84 Japanese yen and got as low as 151.86, the weakest since April 10. The yen surged late on Wednesday and on Monday, both in light trading conditions, in moves that traders and analysts attributed to intervention by Japanese authorities. Japanese finance minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday that authorities may need to smooth any excessive yen moves that hurt households and companies. The yen is on track for its best weekly percentage gain against the greenback since November 2022, after Japanese authorities also intervened in October 2022 to shore up the currency. The Japanese currency reached a 34-year low of 160.245 on Monday as it suffers from a wide interest rate differential with the United States.

US employers scaled back their hiring in April, adding 175,000 jobs in the face of higher borrowing rates
US STOCKS-Wall St set to open sharply higher on soft jobs data
US STOCKS-Wall St set to open sharply higher on soft jobs data Wall Street's main indexes were set to open higher on Friday after a softer-than-expected jobs report revived hopes of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates this year, while gains in Apple and Amgen on upbeat corporate updates added support. The Labor Department report showed U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 175,000 jobs in April, compared with expectations for an increase of 243,000, according to economists polled by Reuters. The unemployment rate stood at 3.9% compared with expectations that it would remain steady at 3.8%, while average earnings rose 0.2% on a monthly basis against forecasts of 0.3% growth. The data is soft across the board from the Fed's perspective, which is what really matters and an unemployment rate of 3.9% is not something disastrous, said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy and research at Glenmede. This indicates an economy that is not declining dramatically, but it definitely indicates a looser labor market.

FOREX-Yen poised for best week in over a year; dollar waits on US jobs data
FOREX-Yen poised for best week in over a year; dollar waits on US jobs data The yen was headed for its best week in more than a year on Friday, helped by Tokyo's suspected intervention this week to pull the Japanese currency away from 34-year lows, which also left the dollar broadly on the back foot. The yen rose to a session-high of 152.895 per dollar in early Asia trade and was set to clock a weekly gain of more than 3%, its largest since December 2022. It was last more than 0.4% stronger at 152.96 per dollar. Traders were left on tenterhooks for any further huge swings in the yen after Tokyo is suspected to have intervened to support its currency this week to the tune of some 9.16 trillion yen ($59.79 billion), as suggested by data from Bank of Japan (BOJ). Japan's latest forays into the currency market came during periods of thin liquidity, with the country out for a holiday on Monday while the second attempt happened late on Wednesday after Wall Street had closed. Calculated and opportunistic market action for maximum effect is preferred. And the (Ministry of Finance) is practiced in this. What's more, the element of unknown and surprise are key advantages that the BOJ and MoF will want to retain, said Vishnu Varathan, chief economist for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho Bank. The yen has strengthened nearly eight yen against the dollar since the start of the week, when it first slid past the key 160 per dollar level which some have said could be the line in the sand for authorities. Elsewhere, the dollar lost ground against most of its peers and was headed for its worst week in nearly two months, in part due to the sharp rise in the yen this week. Traders are now looking to U.S. nonfarm payrolls data due later on Friday to guide the dollar's next moves, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told markets this week that the central bank's next move in interest rates would likely be down, and not up as some had feared. The Fed held interest rates steady at the conclusion of its two-day monetary policy meeting, as expected, and signalled it is still leaning towards eventual rate cuts, even if they may take longer to come than initially expected. The euro ticked up 0.05% to last trade at $1.0730, and was eyeing a weekly gain of 0.35%. Sterling steadied at $1.25365 and was similarly set to rise more than 0.3% for the week. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar, which has struggled to regain its footing in the wake of the less-hawkish-than-feared Fed comments, was little changed at 105.32. The dollar index was on track to lose 0.7% for the week, its worst performance since March. Recent Fed speech has acknowledged the lack of progress on inflation and the desire to maintain the current level of policy rates for longer. That said, it does seem clear the Committee remains biased to cut rates, but any policy easing will be determined by how inflation develops over the next few months, said Tai Hui, APAC chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. We now expect the Committee to reduce rates 1-2 times this year, with risks skewed to fewer cuts. Down Under, the Australian dollar edged 0.07% higher to $0.6570, and was on track to gain nearly 0.6% for the week. The New Zealand dollar tacked on a marginal 0.03% to $0.5963, and was eyeing a 0.4% weekly gain. ($1 = 153.2100 yen)

US STOCKS-Wall Street ends higher as Fed signals dovish bias; jobs report eyed
US STOCKS-Wall Street ends higher as Fed signals dovish bias; jobs report eyed U.S. stocks rallied on Thursday as investors weighed the Federal Reserve's more dovish-than-expected interest rate guidance on Wednesday against a plethora of mixed earnings and economic data. All three indexes ended in positive territory. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way, advancing 1.5% with healthy boost from chip stocks after Qualcomm reported quarterly sales and profit above analysts' expectations. Markets continued to parse Fed Chair Jerome Powell's assurances on Wednesday that the central bank's next policy move will be to lower its key policy rate, after it left rates unchanged at the end of its monthly meeting. However, he noted that recent strong inflation readings have suggested that first of these rate cuts could be a long time in coming. The takeaway from yesterday is that the Fed's bias is still a downward, hold steady or cut rates, said Paul Nolte, senior wealth advisor and market strategist at Murphy & Silvest in Elmhurst, Illinois. They're not willing to raise rates from here. They'll keep rates steady, and any sign of economic weakness or lower inflation, they are going to be ready to jump on it and cut. Data released on Thursday included muted jobless claims, a drop in planned layoffs, a surge in quarterly labor costs and a sharp deceleration in productivity, all of which throws focus on Friday's closely watched April employment report. The Fed has been consistent in saying they're going to be data dependent, said Joseph Sroka, chief investment officer at NovaPoint in Atlanta. We went into this year thinking there could be more cuts, earlier. The data hasn't supported that. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) upgraded its global growth outlook, thanks in part to the U.S. economy's resilience. First-quarter earnings season has rounded the corner, with 373 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 77% have posted better-than-expected results, according to LSEG data. The common theme (this quarter) is those companies that are beating expectations aren't really being rewarded as much as they have in prior quarters, Nolte added. And those that are missing expectations are getting shellacked. Among individual stocks, Qualcomm advanced 9.8% following its earnings beat. Shares of used car platform Carvana surged 33.8 % on its upbeat profit forecast. But disappointing profit guidance sent DoorDash 's stock down 10.3 %. Etsy shares slid 15.0 % after the online marketplace missed Wall Street expectations for first-quarter gross merchandise sales and profit. Peloton dropped 2.5 % after the fitness equipment maker's CEO stepped down and the company announced a 15% cut to its global workforce. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 322.37 points, or 0.85%, to 38,225.66. The S&P 500 gained 45.81 points, or 0.91%, at 5,064.2 and the Nasdaq Composite added 235.48 points, or 1.51%, at 15,840.96. Nine of the 11 major S&P sectors ended higher, with tech firms leading the gainers. Materials suffered the largest percentage loss. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 3.63-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.29-to-1 ratio favored advancers. The S&P 500 posted 15 new 52-week highs and eight new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 59 new highs and 89 new lows. Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.19 billion shares, compared with the 11.04 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Five Pillars To Transform a Career Advancement Cell
By Mohit Singh, Director, Placements, Rishihood University. Graduating students pin their hopes of a great job right after college. And their placement cell is the most critical piece of the whole equation. If the cell falls short of expectation, careers may possibly be affected. So let me share my suggestions for how to make a placement cell overperform and become the darling of the graduating class! But first, a flashback. Embarking on a career in the placement team was a fortuitous twist of fate for me, an accidental navigator through the corridors of career advancement. My UG campus, with its flexible placement cell rules and regulations, guided me toward the best opportunities like the university entry scheme of the Army, Philips, and various healthcare corporations, a sequence of opportunities that initially filled me with joy but later sparked introspection as I was able to crack almost every opportunity. In hindsight, I began to question whether my acceptance of multiple job offers inadvertently deprived my batchmates of potentially life-changing opportunities. Without paying much heed to that thought, I started my career at Philips India in the healthcare division. Subsequently, I ventured into a bootstrap startup, which unfortunately succumbed to the challenges of securing the next level of funding. While exploring new opportunities, I unexpectedly landed a job as a placement officer at NIT Kurukshetra. Despite only meeting the basic eligibility criteria to join as a placement officer of NIT Kurukshetra, which required a minimum age of 24 and 5 years of work experience, I was able to secure the role. Although I had no prior experience in the placement industry, I managed to beat out other candidates and became the youngest placement officer in the NIT/IIT ecosystem. This was the start of my journey into the unknown. We took some bold steps immediately. Two key measures taken by our team at NIT Kurukshetra were to design a comprehensive one-year internship policy for M.Tech students and to introduce a six-month internship program for undergraduate students. Although met with skepticism initially, our decisions were backed by thorough market research and feedback from alumni and industry experts. Subsequently, I transitioned through various roles on different campuses, offering valuable insights into the contrasting dynamics of government and private institutions concerning the operation of placement cells. The data proved us right. There was a massive jump in the effectiveness of the placement cell. To distill the overarching lessons from my experience Id like to share Five Pillars To Transform a Career Advancement Cell: 1. Student-Driven Cell: Encouraging a culture where students take the lead in shaping their careers is essential. The team that drives these initiatives should be brimming with passion and enthusiasm to serve their peers equally. As the selection of unsuitable candidates can adversely affect the entire batch, students must approach this responsibility with utmost seriousness. However, their duty doesn't end with the selection process. They must represent the entire batch post-selection and approach their roles with a sense of duty and seriousness. By doing so, they can inspire their peers and contribute to building a better future for everyone. Your job: find these dynamos. 2. Corporate Readiness Modules: As I progressed further, I discovered that the key difference between an average college and an exceptional one, especially in terms of job placements, lies in the focus given to corporate preparedness programs in top-notch institutions. These institutions go above and beyond to ensure that their students possess the basic traits desired by employers. This strategic approach ensures that students are not just well-prepared, but also equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge required by leading employers. Your job: keep track of what new skills companies are looking for. 3. Continuous Feedback Mechanism: Success is within reach for those who establish a Continuous Feedback Mechanism, a vital yet often neglected element in many educational settings. It's disheartening to see that most institutions lack such a system. However, taking a proactive step by setting up a robust framework for collecting feedback from both students and recruiters can make all the difference. This systematic approach not only identifies areas for improvement but also drives the evolution of the placement process, ensuring its alignment with the constantly changing demands of the industry. Your job: take active feedback from the students and the recruiters. Dont take negative feedback personally. 4. Alumni Engagement: Alumni networks are a powerful tool that institutes can use to empower their students. By tapping into the vast wealth of knowledge and experience within this community, students can receive mentorship, guidance, and even potential job opportunities. By harnessing the strength of alumni networks, institutes can inspire their students to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams. Your job: put alumni on a pedestal. 5. Life Time Career Assistance Model: It's a unique and innovative approach to career development that helps you achieve your professional goals and aspirations at every stage of your career journey. With this model, you'll have access to personalized guidance, training, and resources that will help you stay on track and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way. Your job: keep track of the students you have placed and how theyre progressing. When it comes to building a strong career advancement cell, above mentioned fundamental components are crucial for success. These components, which I refer to as asic hygiene, serve as the foundation of a successful placement strategy and are essential for creating a thriving placement program.
