Michail Antonio: West Ham striker 'grateful for being alive' after he is discharged from hospital following car accident

West Ham striker Michail Antonio says he is "grateful" to be alive after sustaining a broken leg in a car accident. Antonio, 34, was discharged from hospital on Tuesday, more than three weeks after undergoing surgery on a lower limb fracture following the crash. The Jamaica international needed to be released from his car after becoming trapped during the incident on 7 December in Epping, Essex, and was taken to a central London hospital. "Every year around this time, I'm asked what I'm grateful for, and every year I've struggled to find the right words. But this year, I know exactly what I'm grateful for: being alive," Antonio wrote on Instagram. His social media post included a photograph of himself standing with crutches. "I've spent so many years taking life for granted. I made plans for the next day, the next year, always assuming tomorrow was guaranteed. I've seen close friends pass away, witnessed others face near-death experiences, and even then I didn't fully grasp just how precious life is," Antonio said. "What I've been through recently has opened my eyes. Life is fragile, and every single moment matters. I'm so grateful to God for giving me the strength to keep going and for allowing me to still be here." Antonio is West Ham's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, with 68 goals in 268 league appearances. He added: "I'll be back on that pitch soon." Antonio also thanked the emergency and medical services that have supported him since the accident, along with the "whole football community". "Thank you for all the love and support you've shown me. It has truly meant the world. I love you all and I am endlessly grateful for every one of you," he said. The Hammers forward spoke to his team-mates via a video call before they earned an important 2-1 win over Wolves on 9 December, having worn 'Antonio 9' shirts before kick-off. The club also thanked the services that supported Antonio and said it would donate "close to £60,000 to the NHS and Air Ambulances UK charities" after the shirts were sold at auction.

"Everyone at the club would like to reiterate their heartfelt thanks to the first responders, emergency services, air ambulance staff and the NHS for the incredible support given to Michail in the wake of the accident," West Ham said on Tuesday.

Stocks and dollar end 2024 steady, 2025 all about Trump

By Ankur Banerjee and Alun John SINGAPORE/LONDON () -World stocks held steady on Tuesday in cautious year-end trading that has seen investors bracing for the incoming Donald Trump administration by scaling back bets on deep U.S. interest rate cuts in 2025, helping the dollar stand tall against most other currencies.

MSCI's world share index was flat on the day, but set to wrap up 2025 with a 16% annual gain. This year's rally has been largely a U.S. phenomenon, with the having risen around 24% compared with an 8% gain for MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, and just 5% for Europe's . () But the mood latterly has been more cautious on the back of higher U.S. Treasury yields. The yield on the 10-year note reached 4.64% late last week, its highest...

Dollar set for best week since November on US rates, economic outlook

By Rae Wee SINGAPORE () -The dollar was on track for its best weekly performance in over a month on Friday, underpinned by expectations of fewer Federal Reserve rate cuts this year and the view that the U.S. economy will continue to outperform the rest of its peers globally. The greenback began the new year on a strong note reaching a more than two-year high of 109.54 against a basket of currencies on Thursday as it extended a stellar rally from last year. Its charge higher has come on the back of a more hawkish Fed and a resilient U.S. economy. "Looks like dollar strength is here to stay for now in early 2025 given the U.S. exceptionalism story is here to stay, and it still comes with high U.S. yields," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "Add to that the uncertainty from policies of the incoming (Donald) Trump administration, and you also get the safety aspect of the dollar looking attractive." Ahead of U.S. President-elect Trump'...
