NEW YORK (AFP) - Wall Street stocks ended lower on Wednesday (Sept 8) on worries over the economic hit from the latest coronavirus wave and as more large companies reported supply chain problems amid the pandemic. A report from the Federal Reserve said economic growth "downshifted slightly" in July and August amid shortages of workers and materials and as the Delta variant caused an uptick in Covid-19 cases. Also Wednesday, John Williams, president of the Fed's New York branch, cautioned in a speech that "a full recovery from the pandemic will take quite some time to complete." The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.2 per cent to finish trading at 35,031.07. The broad-based S&P 500 slipped 0.1 per cent to close at 4,514.07, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.6 per cent to 15,286.64. More US companies pointed to persistent problems with supply chains that have led to shortages of key materials and pricing pressure. Sherwin-Williams fell 2 per cent after the paint company cut its third-quarter sales forecast due in part to a shortage of some raw materials linked to outages from Hurricane Ida, making it hard for the company to meet strong demand.

US growth ‘downshifted’ amid labour, supply shortages, says Fed

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US economic growth "downshifted slightly" in July and August amid shortages of workers and materials, as well as concerns about the rise of the Delta variant of Covid-19, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday (Sept 8). The slowdown was largely due to "a pullback in dining out, travel and tourism in most districts, reflecting safety concerns due to the rise of the Delta variant," according to the Fed's "beige book" report. Activity declined in some areas of the country due to labour issues and "pervasive resource shortages" that also were driving up prices, the report said. Sales of autos and homes in the world's largest economy were depressed by low inventory, while retail sales growth slowed, but construction rose modestly, the report said. The analysis, prepared in advance of the Fed's next policy meeting on Sept 21-22, said contacts in most districts "remained optimistic about near-term prospects, though there continued to be widespread concern about ongoing supply disruptions and resource shortages." The rapid reopening of businesses following the pandemic shutdowns has posed a challenge for global shipping and raw materials, including a worldwide semiconduct...

SINGAPORE - The victim was merely doing her job but had to suffer insults such as "talk to rich people nicely, you're a poor girl". These words came from two women after an auxiliary police officer approached them for smoking outside a designated area. Koh Lee Yen, 50, and Chee Kam Fah, 49, were each fined $3,000 on Wednesday (Sept 8). They pleaded guilty each to one count of using insulting words against a public service worker. Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority records show that Koh and Chee are shareholders and directors of jewellery retailer Gold Star Resources. They also hold shares in other companies while Chee is a director in various firms. The court heard that the incident occurred on Sept 21 last year, outside shopping mall Lucky Plaza in Orchard Road. Ms Asyikah Suri Kamsari was on duty with her colleague in the area. She was authorised under the National Environment Agency to carry out enforcement action against public health offenders. She spotted Koh and Chee smoking outside the designated area and approached them for their personal particulars, so that she could issue a summons to them.

SINGAPORE - Discrimination and racism in Singapore were the main concerns that Indian community leaders raised during a dialogue session on Tuesday night (Sept 7) to discuss views on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally speech. About 200 participants from various Indian organisations and grassroots volunteers attended the two-hour virtual session, which was organised by the People's Association Indian Activity Executive Committees Council (Narpani Pearavai). Other issues raised included the impact of the progressive wage model implementation and mental health concerns among isolated elderly residents. One of the dialogue participants, undergraduate student Loshini Sivakumar, 21, said the session helped her gain fresh perspective on some of the topics mentioned during PM Lee's speech. Ms Loshini, a grassroots volunteer since last year, said: "The session gave me a chance to share my views on how our civic curriculum in school can be restructured to dismantle racial stereotypes and promote a better understanding. "My takeaway was that beyond the school curriculum, lived experience outside the classroom can be equally important in fostering a good relationship between t...

SINGAPORE - Two years ago, like many people around the world, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong had not heard of video-conferencing app Zoom. He preferred to meet people for discussions and scoffed at the idea of having virtual meetings, he said. Yet today, nearly all his work meetings are conducted online. "I've found them to be equally effective in getting things done. I'm sure many of you share a similar experience," he told a group of corporate leaders on Wednesday (Sept 8). Speaking on the theme of Asia's Renaissance: The New Era Of Recovery And Reopening at the Singapore Institute of Directors Conference, Mr Wong added that traditional barriers to digital adoption are falling, especially in industries that were slow to adapt before. This will likely speed up digital transformation in sectors such as energy, construction and other domestic services, where there are still many opportunities for digital solutions to generate new value and productivity gains, he said. He added that Covid-19 is likely to become yet another endemic disease that people will have to learn to live with, such as chicken pox and influenza.
