The strongest week since back to april. However, you have to put that in context. Two weeks ago was a lousy week in fact, two weeks ago the dow lost just over 1800 points, down by 1833 points last week the dow was up by 1821 points so that was a giveback for the dow kind of starting things over if you look at the other major averages, they got back much more ground than they had lost the previous week. Last week the s p was up 329 points after being down 195 the week before and the nasdaq was up by 983 points last week after losing 636 points the week before but again these gains this morning are significant ones they are adding to what we saw last week. Also, take a look at whats happening in the treasury market youll see that right now the treasury, the tenyear, is yielding 0. 812 so its stabilized after bouncing around quite a bit during the election and the election counting last week stabilized at 0. 812 andrew thanks, becky our top story this morning, president elect biden wastin

Christmas can t come early enough at least for some this year. The desire for joy and laughter, regathering with family and friends, not to mention putting 2020 behind us.
For others, there is fatigue from the emotional cost of a year that will be remembered in the history books.
Christmas is a season that evokes mixed emotions for many whānau in Aotearoa. For some, it s a season where families eat together and wait with anticipation to open gifts under a Christmas tree. It can also be another reminder of the passing of a loved one, the pressure of unemployment, the uncertainties of business, loneliness, and a closed border keeping family and friends in far-away lands.
