Netball Super League: Emily Andrew helps London Mavericks to 67-56 win over Nottingham Forest

London Mavericks moved up to second in the Netball Super League with a 67-56 win over Nottingham Forest. Australian goal shooter Emily Andrew led the way for the Mavericks with 41 goals while Emma Thacker chipped in with six. The Mavericks have won four of their opening five matches and leapfrog Manchester Thunder into second spot. They are level with unbeaten leaders London Pulse on 12 points having played a game more than their city rivals. The Mavericks were in front after the first quarter and at half-time for the first time in a league fixture this season. Andrew was inevitably prominent in the scoring at the Motorpoint Arena as Camilla Buchanan's side established a 35-27 lead at the mid point. Forest produced a brilliant third quarter as they brought a 12-point deficit down to just two points to trail 47-45 thanks to Rolene Streutker's clinical shooting. However, the Mavericks raised their game in the final quarter and eventually managed to pull away as Forest's players ran out of steam.

  • The Mavericks had an 88% shooting success in the match compared to 79% for Forest, who lost a home league game for the first time.

  • Mavericks goal shooter Emily Andrew moved to the top of the Netball Super League's top scorer charts after taking her tally to 186 goals. Forest's Rolene Streutker is third with 151.

  • Wing attack Suzie Liversidge has 148 feeds for the Mavericks - more than anyone else in league - while centre Ellie Rattu also moved up to 100 for the season.

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'...

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. Volumes were light with a holiday for the New Year looming, with the Santa-rally largely failing to materialise as elevated Treasury yields weigh on high equity valuations and boost the greenback. 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...
