Saudi Arabia wants to host a major WWE Premium Live Event FKA Pay-Per-View

Per Mike Coppinger of sports media giant ESPN references a “strategic agreement” between Riyadh Season and the UFC will extend the partnership between the two sides, as announced by highly respected Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.

Alahshikh in a bullish move has not been shy about his desire to hold a major UFC

 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He's getting UFC Fight Night at the time of publication, but things can do change in the high stakes world of combat sports promotion. Alalshikh stated that an “enhancement” to Saudi Arabia’s agreement with WWE will be announced this month. Alalshikh notes that he desires to have Saudi Arabia host the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania.

“We will do big things with the UFC and TKO,” Alalshikh told ESPN.

WWE has a track record of at least one PLE in Saudi Arabia every year since 2018. The company merged with UFC to form TKO in September 2023.

As per local customers, women wrestlers are much more covered up that they are at U.S, Canadian, European, Japanese and Australian shows. WWE creative head Triple H has covered on the record the importance of respecting local customs numerous times over the years.

“This agreement is a continuation of Riyadh Season’s aims to host and partner with prominent and international events of mass interest,” Alalshikh stated in a media release. “It also enhances our efforts for Riyadh Season to produce diverse content in order to engage and attract an even wider audience with different interests from around the world. UFC is the most prominent mixed martial arts organization in the world and their platform of global fans is unrivaled.”

Silver: a possible long road down

May 10, 2024

Silver and gold recovered quickly. What's next?

Gold and silver have been enjoying a return to demand since early May, and buyers have stepped up in the last couple of days, bringing gold back above $2370 and silver back above $28.5.

Silver has recovered to the $28.0-28.8 area from where it reversed down in April after a few days of consolidation. This week's upward momentum revives the idea that the decline in the second half of April was a corrective pullback. The area of local lows in early May roughly coincides with the 61.8% pullback from the upside momentum from late February to the upper boundary of the consolidation area we discussed above.

This bullish scenario will be confirmed if the price consolidates above $28.8, which would open the way to the $33 area as a potential first stop. However, we need to remember that Silver has failed to do so for the past 11 years, with three significant episodes in 2020 and 2021 before the April test.

Gold is about half as far behind silver in terms of relative recovery momentum and has not yet been able to recoup all the losses from the 22 April price hit. However, we should consider that gold quotes have been periodically updating historical highs since February.

In gold, we can also consider the April retreat as a correction to the area of 76.4% of the growth impulse from the minimum close of the day in February to the maximum close in April. In this case, the growth target becomes the area of $2640 (161.8% of the initial rally).

At the same time, a further rise in the price of gold with high bond yields in developed countries, huge budget deficits in many countries and the need to support the economy makes one think that the upside potential is limited. Until gold and silver reach a new level, we doubt the success of a new attack on the highs and see the potential for a renewed decline.

Media Man: Recalling some of the great WWE king's of the past including the late Harley Race (1986), then we've got Don Muraco (1985), Randy Savage (1987), Bret Hart (1991 and 1993), Owen Hart (1994), Steve Austin (1996), Triple H (1997), Ken Shamrock (1998), Brock Lesnar (2002), Booker T (2006) and William Regal (2008). 

There are other former WWE kings, but these are the ones we found more worthy. Of course as with many things pro wrestling, it can all be very subjective. 

The 2024 WWE King And Queen Of The Ring finals will be held on May 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Our early picks include Bron Breakker with Karrion Kross and Lexis King being dark horses, but stranger things have happened. 

For the ladies - Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, followed by Belair and Natalya are our picks. 

It's just about time to join SmackDown announcers Corey Graves and Wade Barrett. Barrett is actually the 2015 King Of The Ring winner!

Fox, Disney, Warner Bros Discovery sports venture expects 5 million subscribers in five years

The sports streaming venture formed by Walt Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Fox Corp expects to have 5 million subscribers in its first five years, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch advised in March.

The companies last announced plans for the sports-centric service that is hoping to get younger viewers.

"We're running really hard and really fast to get the service up and running before the start of the college football season this year," Murdoch said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference.

Pricing for the service — which would have rights to the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball and college competitions — could be higher than what people have talked about, Murdoch added.

CNBC reported back February the yet-to-be-named service is expected to be priced at above $40 per month, adding the firms have identified an executive who would be named at a later date.

Murdoch said the companies will get paid on a per-subscriber basis and he does not have any concerns about regulatory hurdles about the joint venture.

The addressable market for the new venture is expected to be between 50 million and 60 million, Murdoch said, adding it is half of the television households in the United States which will be open to taking this new package.

The new entity will be jointly owned by the three media companies, with equal board representation, and agree to license their sports content on a non-exclusive basis, media reported in Feb, as media companies are betting on the sports-streaming service to drive subscriptions. (Wires/A.I)

Witness the Epic Battle for the Wasteland. Tickets are on sale NOW. #FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA - only in theaters May 24, Memorial Day Weekend.

https://fandan.co/Furiosa-GS  

Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in Academy Award-winning mastermind George Miller’s “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” the much-anticipated return to the iconic dystopian world he created more than 30 years ago with the seminal “Mad Max” films.  

Miller now turns the page again with an all-new original, standalone action adventure that will reveal the origins of the powerhouse character from the multiple Oscar-winning global smash “Mad Max: Fury Road.”  

The new feature from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures is produced by Miller and his longtime partner, Oscar-nominated producer Doug Mitchell (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Babe”), under their Australian-based Kennedy Miller Mitchell banner. 

As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus.

Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe.  While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home. Taylor-Joy stars in the title role, and along with Hemsworth, the film also stars Alyla Browne and Tom Burke.   Miller penned the script with “Mad Max: Fury Road” co-writer Nico Lathouris.  Miller’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes first assistant director PJ Voeten and second unit director and stunt coordinator Guy Norris, director of photography Simon Duggan (“Hacksaw Ridge,” “The Great Gatsby”), composer Tom Holkenborg, sound designer Robert Mackenzie, editor Eliot Knapman, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson and colorist Eric Whipp.

The team also includes other longtime collaborators: production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, sound mixer Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt, each of whom won an Oscar for their work on “Mad Max: Fury Road.”   

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents, in Association with Village Roadshow Pictures, A Kennedy Miller Mitchell Production, A George Miller Film, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” 

The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, in theaters only nationwide on May 24, 2024 and internationally beginning on 22 May, 2024. 

Media Man: So pumped for this. Anything with the Mad Max name in it is going to get a good look from us. Ready, steady, go!

Search Engine New via Wires

Expert insights: Google's search evolution and SEO trends

The new technological advancement called Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) is all about how people interact with search results.

Staying ahead of the curve is essential in today's dynamic digital landscape, where trends evolve rapidly. Jigar Saraswat, founder of Rajasi Media, emphasises the importance of keeping pace with these changes while maintaining core values and ethics. This approach is crucial for businesses and brands striving to ascend to the top of search engine rankings.

Mithilesh Joshi, an SEO specialist, echoes Saraswat's sentiment, underscoring the necessity of staying abreast of Google's evolving search dynamics.

Remaining relevant in the digital realm is key to progressing toward success. They have gained enormous experience with the profound impact that Google's latest advancements have created in search technology. With the recent launch of Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) and Gemini AI assistant, several brands and businesses have experienced challenges as well as opportunities in their quest to gain excellent online visibility and presence.

New Search Reality by Google

The new technological advancement called Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) is all about how people interact with search results. It is powered by AI and offers users conversational search experiences.

Gemini AI, on the other hand, is Google's latest virtual assistant. It seamlessly blends with SGE and has been introduced as a potential alternative to Google Assistant.

Impact on the new search on businesses

Though SGE and Gemini AI are seen as modern-day digital advancements that offer incredible possibilities, industry experts like Lily Ray and the SEO community have shown concerns. They point out that there could be rising issues, like the rise in spammy content and the spread of misinformation in SGE results. It could also lead to disregarding Your Money Your Life (YMYL) guidelines and devaluing expertise. Besides, SGE results showing more content-centric results impact the revenue streams of businesses and brands relying on affiliate marketing.

The new search reality's future

Jigar Saraswat says "despite the challenges posed by these new tech advancements in Google search, he firmly believes in their co-existence with traditional search, adding that a fundamental shift in SEO strategies is required to adapt to the new search reality".

Mithilesh Joshi says "brands and businesses must prioritise original, high-quality content that readily aligns with the user intent and is focused on building brand visibility and authority".

They also shed light on how major industry shifts like the adoption of mobile search and social media marketing showcase how essential it is for people to embrace change. However, they also highlight how SEO has the power to help businesses thrive in such an evolving digital landscape.

"In the end, one must remain positive about the future of search, embrace continuous learning and adapt, and at the same time, also seek expert guidance from companies like Rajasi Media to stay at the top of search engine results," shares Jigar Saraswat.

To stay relevant and foster engagement among audiences, it is essential to adapt to newer changes in the industry while also creating a balance between tried-and-tested methods and new ones. Jigar concluded saying "It is time to embrace change and harness the power of SEO to empower your brands and businesses and ultimately help them thrive in the ever-so-evolving search landscape."

Media Man: Loved this wrestling match. Flashback to the original Dynamic Kid circa 1982 - 1985. Both men played to many of the strengths. AEW have a new massive star in the making here in Dynamite Kid. And talk about the perfect name for AEW's TV programs. Cross-over brand superstar in the making. Let's see some backstage segments and bio looks at Billington and all doing well, it will be a matter of time until Dynamic Kid holds some gold. One of the top AEW signings this year and perhaps ever - all subjective, we know. Top call of the action to boot. This kid could sell some major merch and tickets if all the pieces of the puzzle come together correctly. Promos a d strap on the rocketship. Kaboom! Win-Win-Win! Pure Dynamite!

Australian court lifts order blocking X on church stabbing video

May 13, 2024

An Australian court on Monday rejected a bid by the country's cyber safety regulator to extend a temporary order for Elon Musk-owned X to block videos of the stabbing of an Assyrian church bishop, which authorities had called a terrorist attack.

Federal Court judge Geoffrey Kennett said the application to extend the injunction granted last month had been refused. The reasons for the judgement will be released later, the judge said during a brief hearing.

The matter has been listed for a hearing on Wednesday.

The legal tussle has sparked heated exchanges between Musk and senior Australian officials including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who called Musk "an arrogant billionaire" for his objections to take down the video. Musk has posted memes criticising the regulatory order, describing it as censorship.

Other platforms, such as Meta, took down the content quickly when asked.

The Federal Court, Australia's second-highest court, last month upheld an order by the eSafety Commissioner asking X, formerly Twitter, to take down 65 posts containing footage of the bishop being knifed mid-sermon in Sydney on April 15, saying it showed explicit violence. A 16-year-old boy has been charged with a terrorism offence for the alleged attack.

Australian users have been blocked from viewing the posts but X has refused to remove them globally on the grounds that one country's rules should not control the internet.

The regulator told the court last week that geo-blocking Australians, the solution X offered, was ineffective because a quarter of the population used virtual private networks that disguised their locations.

Last week, Albanese's centre-left government announced it would hold a parliamentary inquiry to look into the negative impacts of social media, saying it has significant control over what Australians see online, with almost no scrutiny.

Mohegan out as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas casino manager by year’s end

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas announced Tuesday that the Connecticut-based tribal gaming operator Mohegan will transition out of its three-year role in managing the casino. The former Hard Rock Las Vegas, rebranded as Virgin and reopened in spring 2021, has faced challenges in attracting customers since the pandemic, according to gaming analysts. Virgin will transition its 60,000-square-foot casino under the management of Cliff Atkinson, the hotel president, subject to all regulatory approvals. Following the transition period, Mohegan will cease to manage or lease the casino.

The Bally’s casino at Medinah Temple in the River North neighborhood of the city reported $10.4 million in AGR, down from its peak of $11.1 million in March. While Bally’s revenue for the 2024 calendar year moved above $40 million, the $4.1 million in local taxes for the City of Chicago generated thus far is tracking to be well below the $35 million projected in mayor Brandon Johnson’s budget.

Hundreds of Culinary Local 226 members — which represents about 700 servers, stewards, housekeepers and others — at Virgin Hotels walked off the job Friday to pressure the resort-casino into making a deal that accounts for inflation and other higher labor costs like peers on the Strip and throughout the region.

Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana shows no signs of giving up its position as the state’s top earning casino nearly three years after its May 14, 2021, grand opening. Data released Friday by the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) show Hard Rock last month tallied more “win,” or revenue after paying successful bettors, than any of the 12 other commercial casinos in the Hoosier State for a 30th consecutive month. Hard Rock tallied $39.7 million in April win — a 1.6% increase compared to its April 2023 win of $39.1 million — even though this year’s calendar had one fewer April weekend.

Bookies at the baccarat table: A new scandal grips Las Vegas

Of all the perks the casinos near Lake Tahoe can offer high-rolling customers, few rival an invitation to play in the American Century Championship, the annual celebrity golf tournament. And perhaps the most enticing celebrity to be paired with is retired NBA legend Charles Barkley, the tournament’s hard-swinging and harder-gambling fan favorite, who every year attempts to place six-figure long-odds bets on his performance. Naturally, in 2019, that privilege went to Mathew Bowyer, an Orange County, Calif., card player who regularly risked millions at tables throughout Nevada and elsewhere.

League commissioners grapple with power limits amid sports betting boom

Several pro league commissioners, notably the NBA’s Adam Silver, were outspoken advocates for the broad legalization of sports betting before it became a reality in 2018. Now nearing the sixth anniversary of that momentous date on May 14, many of those same commissioners are acknowledging they are still struggling with the limits of their powers to manage the meteoric growth of the industry. Less than a month after former Raptors center Jontay Porter received a lifetime suspension for flagrant violations of league gambling rules, Silver said there are still limits to how effectively or broadly the league can govern the situation.

‘Billy Corgan’s Adventures In Carnyland’

Directed by Volk-Weis and Ian Roumain, the series pulls back the curtain on how the legendary frontman of alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins takes on the world. 

When he isn’t churning out albums and touring the world with his band, Corgan works as a wrestling promoter through his storied National Wrestling Alliance @nwa , which he intends to restore to its former glory. 

As if being a rock star navigating the demanding politics of running both a band, The Smashing Pumpkins, and a group of eccentric wrestlers - "Carnyland", isn’t tricky enough, he’s also a father of two - and he’s planning a wedding to his longtime partner, Chloe Mendel. Can he possibly keep all these balls in the air?

‘Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland’ premieres May 14 on @TheCWApp and http://CWTV.com

NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE EMBARKS ON HISTORIC TERRITORY SYSTEM REVIVAL UNDER LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT WILLIAM PATRICK CORGAN

• The first affiliate territory for the Lightning One era is NWA Exodus Pro Midwest

• Territory is lead by NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion EC3

• More territories are being explored domestically and internationally

CLEVELAND, OH - In a move marking a pivotal moment in the history of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), President William Patrick Corgan has announced the revival of the promotion’s territorial system, a cherished tradition for the NWA, which harkens back to the roots of professional wrestling and the alliance’s formation 75 years ago. The move is aimed at fostering collaboration, unity and the development of future wrestling stars. The inaugural affiliate territory to join this initiative is NWA Exodus Pro Midwest, under the stewardship of none other than the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, EC3.

In a statement reflecting the essence of this moment, Billy Corgan remarked, “We are returning to the collaboration that defined the NWA, embracing a model that not only honors our rich history but also propels us into a future of young stars. This initial undertaking with NWA Exodus Pro, as well as all our affiliate promotions to come, will play a pivotal role in who appears on NWA television in the future, as well as affording those affiliate promotions consistent access to all the top NWA champions and superstars.”

NWA Exodus Pro Midwest, led by the illustrious NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion EC3, will see its Men’s Heavyweight Championship officially recognized by the NWA - a testament to the gravity of this new chapter in NWA history. This collaboration not only signifies a mutual partnership but also symbolizes a shared commitment to the growth and evolution of professional wrestling. EC3 expressed his excitement, stating, “I am honored to lead NWA Exodus Pro Midwest into this new chapter. I’ve long sought a way to create a platform of opportunity for up and coming talent to “tell their story.” With the WPC and the NWA, I have the right partner and wrestling’s most important legacy. To have the NWA’s brand, create shows, and cultivate talent, especially in the Midwest region, is something I’m incredibly passionate about. Together, we will pave the way for a future that respects the traditions of the past while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Dare I say, we can “control the narrative.”

The inaugural celebration of this historic affiliation will be marked by “NWA Presents: Samhain” on October 28, 2023, hosted at Temple Live in Cleveland. Fans can secure their tickets and pay-per-view access by visiting http://NWATix.com and http://Fite.TV.

Here’s What Went Down at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Press Conference

BY AMANDA RICHARDS AND ROXANNE FEQUIERE

MAY 14, 2024

Ahead of their July 20 bout, the pair met face-to-face at the Apollo Theater in New York City on May 13.

https://netflix.com/tudum/articles/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-live-release-date-news

A ringside seat (on your couch) awaits. For the first time ever, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) are teaming up for a heavyweight boxing mega-event headlined by the Problem Child, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul (9-1, 6 KOs), versus the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs). The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match will stream live on Netflix on July 20 from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. 

https://netflix.com/au/title/81764952?src=tudum&trackId=259776131&trkId=259776131

And, in the co-main event, undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) will step back in the ring against boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs). You can learn more about the highly anticipated Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor rematch here.

https://netflix.com/tudum/articles/amanda-serrano-katie-taylor-rematch-paul-tyson-live-date-news

Paul, Tyson, Taylor, and Serrano met face-to-face on May 13 at the iconic Apollo Theater in New York City to discuss the upcoming fight in an event hosted by renowned boxing journalist Ariel Helwani.

“Mike wanted this to be a pro fight,” Paul said during the press conference. “He wants the war. I respect him for stepping up and try to put an end to me.”

Tyson was praising of Paul’s character, but didn’t mince words when it came to the July 20 bout.

“I really like Jake a lot,” Tyson told the crowd, “But once he’s in the ring he has to fight like his life depends on it — because it will.”

Also during the conference, unified featherweigh champion Serrano spoke to the challenge of ascending three divisions to fight Taylor in a lightweight rematch, which requires her to gain about 14 pounds.

“Greatness requires sacrifice,” Serrano said. “I’m sacrificing my body to go up three divisions. My power is going to come with me.”

Taylor spoke to the rematch as well, noting that she has no plans to carry on the Serrano vs. Taylor rivalry after July 20. Their infamous 2022 bout at Madison Square Garden ended in a narrow split decision in Taylor’s favor, earning both athletes  Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year for 2022 honors.

“I go into every fight planning to win,” Taylor said when asked if she was planning to put the rivalry to bed. “I beat her her first time and I plan on beating her the second time.  The trilogy is not on my mind right now.” (Credit: Netflix)

Jack Dorsey Leaves Bluesky Board, Calls X ‘Freedom Technology’

In Case You Missed It

Twitter co-founder’s decentralized network has yet to take off

Dorsey’s apparent endorsement of X came after regret over sale

Jack Dorsey has left the board of social networking service Bluesky, which he helped fund and popularize a year ago in the wake of regret over the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk.

The Twitter co-founder took to the Musk-owned platform, now rebranded X, to tout his new philanthropic grants to open internet protocols, which he described as “freedom technology.” He also added X to that class of tech, elaborating only to say that corporations can build upon open protocols too.

Dorsey whittled down the list of people he follows on X to just three: Musk, Edward Snowden and Stella Assange, wife of the imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher. It suggested an apparent warming of relations between X’s owner and Dorsey, who had posted on Bluesky a year ago that “it all went south” after Musk’s takeover and radical transformation of Twitter.

Jack Dorsey via X

don’t depend on corporations to grant you rights. defend them yourself using freedom technology.  (you’re on one)

1:01 AM · May 5, 2024

Bluesky is a network and protocol launched to pursue Dorsey’s platonic ideal for Twitter as a service without central control, and it opened to all interested users in February. The social service made a splash in its early days as a way to escape the upheaval at Twitter after Musk’s acquisition, though it has since been overshadowed by the launch of Meta Platforms Inc.’s Threads as the most viable alternative. Dorsey responded to a question on X as to whether he was still on the Bluesky board with a “no”.

ASX200 lifts on post-budget mining jump

Aussie stocks lifted on Wednesday on the back of a mining rally fuelled by bourse heavyweight BHP.

The Australian sharemarket lifted on Wednesday on the back of a mining rally, fuelled by bourse heavyweight BHP, and the federal budget’s big spend on critical minerals.

The benchmark ASX200 rose 0.35 per cent, or 26.9 points, to close at 7753.7, while the broader All Ordinaries index lifted 0.32 per cent, or 25.2 points, to finish at 8020.9.

Technology stocks climbed 0.56 per cent to 3050.5 points.

The Aussie dollar was up 0.22 per cent against the Greenback to buy US66.4c at the closing bell.

Eight of 11 industry sectors ended in the green, led by materials with a 1.19 per cent rise.

Behemoth BHP propelled the charge with a 2.18 per cent jump to $44.09 a share.

The miner, which accounts for about 10 per cent of the benchmark index, surged after takeover target Anglo American told investors it would break up and sell off parts of its vast operations to concentrate on copper, iron ore and crop nutrients.

Anglo’s Queensland coal operations, which sit adjacent to BHP’s Bowen Basin mines, are now up for sale.

Miners in the critical minerals space also boomed on the budget’s $13.7bn allocation for production tax credits for minerals set to underpin the green energy transition.

Renascor Resources soared 30 per cent to 13c, while Arafura Rare Earths jumped 5.41 per cent to 20c and Aeris Resources surged 7.41 per cent 29c.

Alongside the miners, IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said the trading day had lifted on some post-budget “relief” about Australia’s inflation outlook.

“As the debate around the federal budget’s impact on inflation heats up, it’s worth highlighting the Australian interest rate market is now pricing in a 10 per cent chance of a 25 basis point Reserve Bank of Australia rate cut at its board meeting on December 10, while retaining a 10 per cent chance of a 25 basis point RBA rate hike by September,” he said.

“The key takeaway here is that the rates market appears comfortable the budget struck the right balance between providing cost-of-living relief without inflaming inflationary concerns.

“There is a full 25 basis point rate cut priced in by next July.

“If you want to try and find the sensible middle ground, the bond market always has a pretty good read on things and we’ve got finally the re-emergence of a rate cut before year-end.

“And we haven’t seen that for quite some time, particularly after that quarter one inflation data was hotter a few weeks ago.”

The big banks presented a mixed picture, with Commonwealth Bank edging up 0.5 per cent to $119.93, but Westpac, NAB and ANZ all falling.

Westpac lost 0.9 per cent to $26.36, NAB fell 0.71 per cent to $33.75 and ANZ dropped 1.18 per cent to $27.68.

Wall Street recorded a positive session overnight on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones up 0.32 per cent, or 126 points, to 39,558, the S&P 500 index up 0.48 per cent to 5246 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rising 0.75 per cent to 16,511.

In corporate news, oil and gas giant Santos revealed it would shed 200 jobs following a review of its operations in WA, the Northern Territory and East Timor.

The company dipped 0.13 per cent to $7.72 a share.

The takeover drama between ARN Media and Southern Cross Austereo continued, with SCA rejecting a rejigged offer after ARN’s initial bid collapsed over the weekend.

ARN dipped 0.58 per cent to 85c while SCA traded flat at 85c.

The top gainer on the ASX200 was IDP Education, which leapt 7 per cent to $17 a share, while the largest laggard was Healius Limited, which slumped nearly 6 per cent to $1.26.

EURUSD is trying to break the 5-month downtrend

May 15, 2024

The US dollar has been under relentless pressure since last Thursday, approaching more than one-month lows against the euro and the pound. 

In general, we can identify a downward trend of the dollar against a basket of six developed country currencies since 16 April. This momentum has become more evident since the first days of May, although we have seen a couple of days of dollar strength. 

Earlier this week, EURUSD quietly made an important technical breakout. In addition to accelerating the upward trend, over the past two days, the major pair has consolidated above the 50- and 200-day moving averages, which have almost merged into one since early April. 

EURUSD has been adding for almost a month and has nearly fully recovered to local peaks in the first half of April. It would be a mistake to think that the dollar is easily rising and slowly retreating. If we take trading volumes into account, we see significant net selling of the dollar, as it takes much less liquidity to cause the pair to collapse over two days than to form a smooth upward trend over a month.

Thus, EURUSD has successfully withstood another test of the 1.05-1.06 support area, which has endured the onslaught of sellers since early 2023. The first significant target of this rise looks like the upper boundary of this range of the significant round level of 1.10. Or even higher - to 1.1150 with a new attempt to overcome the 200-week moving average, which has turned EURUSD three times since the beginning of 2022. 

An even more ambitious but realistic task for the bulls could be a new attempt to consolidate above the 1.20-1.25 area, a crucial historical area that served as support between 2004-2014 and resistance for the last 10 years. 

Confirmation of a bullish reversal in EURUSD will be a sustained growth above 1.0860 - the April highs area. This ability to rise further will break the downtrend that has been forming since the final days of last year.

The big banks presented a mixed picture, with Commonwealth Bank edging up 0.5 per cent to $119.93, but Westpac, NAB and ANZ all falling.

Westpac lost 0.9 per cent to $26.36, NAB fell 0.71 per cent to $33.75 and ANZ dropped 1.18 per cent to $27.68.

Wall Street recorded a positive session overnight on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones up 0.32 per cent, or 126 points, to 39,558, the S&P 500 index up 0.48 per cent to 5246 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rising 0.75 per cent to 16,511.

In corporate news, oil and gas giant Santos revealed it would shed 200 jobs following a review of its operations in WA, the Northern Territory and East Timor.

The company dipped 0.13 per cent to $7.72 a share.

The takeover drama between ARN Media and Southern Cross Austereo continued, with SCA rejecting a rejigged offer after ARN’s initial bid collapsed over the weekend.

ARN dipped 0.58 per cent to 85c while SCA traded flat at 85c.

The top gainer on the ASX200 was IDP Education, which leapt 7 per cent to $17 a share, while the largest laggard was Healius Limited, which slumped nearly 6 per cent to $1.26.

EURUSD is trying to break the 5-month downtrend

May 15, 2024

The US dollar has been under relentless pressure since last Thursday, approaching more than one-month lows against the euro and the pound. 

In general, we can identify a downward trend of the dollar against a basket of six developed country currencies since 16 April. This momentum has become more evident since the first days of May, although we have seen a couple of days of dollar strength. 

Earlier this week, EURUSD quietly made an important technical breakout. In addition to accelerating the upward trend, over the past two days, the major pair has consolidated above the 50- and 200-day moving averages, which have almost merged into one since early April. 

EURUSD has been adding for almost a month and has nearly fully recovered to local peaks in the first half of April. It would be a mistake to think that the dollar is easily rising and slowly retreating. If we take trading volumes into account, we see significant net selling of the dollar, as it takes much less liquidity to cause the pair to collapse over two days than to form a smooth upward trend over a month.

Thus, EURUSD has successfully withstood another test of the 1.05-1.06 support area, which has endured the onslaught of sellers since early 2023. The first significant target of this rise looks like the upper boundary of this range of the significant round level of 1.10. Or even higher - to 1.1150 with a new attempt to overcome the 200-week moving average, which has turned EURUSD three times since the beginning of 2022. 

An even more ambitious but realistic task for the bulls could be a new attempt to consolidate above the 1.20-1.25 area, a crucial historical area that served as support between 2004-2014 and resistance for the last 10 years. 

Confirmation of a bullish reversal in EURUSD will be a sustained growth above 1.0860 - the April highs area. This ability to rise further will break the downtrend that has been forming since the final days of last year.

Gaming: Flutter Entertainment

Analyst: Flutter U.S. primary listing set for May 31

On May 31, the New York Stock Exchange listing of Flutter Entertainment will become its primary listing, according to a report by Jefferies Equity Research analyst James Wheatcroft. He wrote that Flutter reiterated its earnings guidance for the 2024 fiscal year and that no material change was expected before the company’s primary listing move from the London Stock Exchange. In addition to the stock listing, Wheatcroft listed FanDuel’s standing as the top United States sports-betting and igaming provider as a key strength. He also cited “encouraging” underlying trends in the U.S. market against well-telegraphed weakness in March margins.

Matured altcoins are losing strength

Market picture

Neither the meme mania in equities, the overall positivity in stock indices, nor the weakening dollar seems to be helping cryptocurrencies right now. Crypto market capitalisation is down 0.1% and has been moving around the current $2.29 trillion level for the past seven days.

Bitcoin is trading near $61.9K, forming a sequence of higher intraday lows on the daily timeframes. 

Meanwhile, a month-old downside resistance is still in place. Bitcoin is approaching the top of this triangle, which could lead to a sharp increase in volatility. The trigger in the near term promises to be the US inflation report, which has had a strong impact on markets, including cryptocurrencies, in recent months.

The medium-term picture also indicates that some old altcoins are having a tough time. In addition to Ethereum, Cardano has been consolidating near the lower end of its range in recent months, having already given up more than half of its gains since the lows of October. It pulled back under the 200-day average and formed a "death cross." Litecoin has also not recovered from the powerful blow in April, testing its 200-day average.

XRP is trading around the $0.5 level, a historically important level that has seen prolonged consolidation since September 2022. An upward support line can be drawn through the area of the lows of the last two years, but XRP fell below it on 12-13 April. This line worked as resistance for the next two local peaks at the end of April and the beginning of May. All this sets up a bearish scenario with a pullback to the long-term support at $0.25-30.

News background

Onchain indicators indicate that Bitcoin is experiencing a phase of consolidation and potential correction. Glassnode warned that market participants should exercise caution and consider the possibility of panic selloff.

According to Bernstein, Bitcoin's lateral consolidation post-halving is great for public miners in their competition for hashrate. However, Kaiko believes risks of a large-scale sell-off of BTC by miners because of a sharp drop in post-halving revenues may be growing in the market. According to http://Blockchain.com, the average daily revenue of Bitcoin miners has rolled back to 2023 levels.

Solana could rise to $400 by November 2024, and the catalyst for the rally will be a wave of meme coins dedicated to the US election campaign, Merkle Tree Capital suggested. Jeo Boden (BODEN) and Doland Tremp (TREMP) meme-coins helped Solana surpass Ethereum in trading volume.

According to Wublockchain, spot trading volume on major crypto exchanges fell nearly 38 per cent in April. Against this background, traffic on the largest exchanges fell by an average of 22%.

According to Deribit, the options market has increased bets on Ethereum, rising above $3600 in June.

Free TV networks push for anti-siphoning laws to include streaming services

May 14, 2024

Australia's free-to-air networks have joined forces to launch the 'Free for Everyone' advertising campaign. The networks are urging the federal government to update the nation's anti-siphoning laws to specifically include streaming services. They argue that the existing laws only guarantee that major sporting events are broadcast on linear TV rather than the streaming platforms of FTA networks, and at present there is nothing to prevent companies such as Netflix from buying the exclusive digital broadcasting rights to flagship events. The networks note that many consumers now watch broadcast TV via the internet rather than using a traditional aerial.

Here’s What Went Down at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Press Conference

BY AMANDA RICHARDS AND ROXANNE FEQUIERE

MAY 14, 2024

Ahead of their July 20 bout, the pair met face-to-face at the Apollo Theater in New York City on May 13.

https://netflix.com/tudum/articles/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-live-release-date-news

A ringside seat (on your couch) awaits. For the first time ever, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) are teaming up for a heavyweight boxing mega-event headlined by the Problem Child, Jake “El Gallo de Dorado” Paul (9-1, 6 KOs), versus the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs). The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match will stream live on Netflix on July 20 from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. 

https://netflix.com/au/title/81764952?src=tudum&trackId=259776131&trkId=259776131

And, in the co-main event, undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) will step back in the ring against boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs). You can learn more about the highly anticipated Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor rematch here.

https://netflix.com/tudum/articles/amanda-serrano-katie-taylor-rematch-paul-tyson-live-date-news

Paul, Tyson, Taylor, and Serrano met face-to-face on May 13 at the iconic Apollo Theater in New York City to discuss the upcoming fight in an event hosted by renowned boxing journalist Ariel Helwani.

“Mike wanted this to be a pro fight,” Paul said during the press conference. “He wants the war. I respect him for stepping up and try to put an end to me.”

Tyson was praising of Paul’s character, but didn’t mince words when it came to the July 20 bout.

“I really like Jake a lot,” Tyson told the crowd, “But once he’s in the ring he has to fight like his life depends on it — because it will.”

Also during the conference, unified featherweigh champion Serrano spoke to the challenge of ascending three divisions to fight Taylor in a lightweight rematch, which requires her to gain about 14 pounds.

“Greatness requires sacrifice,” Serrano said. “I’m sacrificing my body to go up three divisions. My power is going to come with me.”

Taylor spoke to the rematch as well, noting that she has no plans to carry on the Serrano vs. Taylor rivalry after July 20. Their infamous 2022 bout at Madison Square Garden ended in a narrow split decision in Taylor’s favor, earning both athletes  Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year and The Ring’s Event of the Year for 2022 honors.

“I go into every fight planning to win,” Taylor said when asked if she was planning to put the rivalry to bed. “I beat her her first time and I plan on beating her the second time.  The trilogy is not on my mind right now.” (Credit: Netflix)

Xmas Day NFL on Netflix?

Neftlix 

@netflix

 is heavily tipped to outbid the competition air two live NFL games on Christmas Day.

Writing on social media platform X, John Ourand – a veteran sports business reporter – said: “It looks like Netflix will wind up carrying the two NFL 

@NFL

 games scheduled for December 25th, per a bevy of sources”

It’s not yet know how much Netflix would pay for the rights to the two games, but reports suggest it will be in the range of $100 million -$200 million.

“Amazon paid $100 million for the exclusive rights to that unwatchable Jets-Dolphins Black Friday rain-out contest. Would Netflix pay double for a package of two games, and the chance to own Christmas Day? More?,” speculated Ourand.

Netflix is showing a growing interest in major sports rights. Just this year it has picked up WWE 

@WWE

 rights in a $5 billion deal and hosted The Netflix Slam. In July the streaming platform will showcase a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul
