Stock market today: Tokyo gains, most Asian markets closed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:50 GMT

Shares advanced Monday in Tokyo and Sydney while most Asian markets were closed for May 1 holidays. The traditional Labor Day holidays around the globe likely limited initial market reactions to a delay in an expected decision by U.S. regulators on what to do with troubled First Republic Bank.

First Republic has been seen as the most likely next bank to collapse due to its high amount of uninsured deposits and exposure to low interest rates. Regulators were thought to be seeking to sell all or part of the bank before markets reopened for trading Monday. The bank’s stock closed at $3.51 on Friday, a fraction of the roughly $170 a share it traded for a year ago.“A quiet Monday open shaded by a holiday feel with an undertone of no-news-is-good-news on ...

SF Giants’ Alex Cobb reaches strikeout milestone vs. Padres: ‘I’ll remember that one’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:50 GMT

MEXICO CITY — Alex Cobb remembers his first. And, after reaching a meaningful milestone Sunday against the Padres, he won’t forget his thousandth, either.With a nasty knuckle curve, Cobb got San Diego shortstop Xander Bogaerts swinging for strike three, his seventh strikeout of the game and the final out of the fifth inning. Twelve years since he punched out his first batter, he did it for the 1,000th time of his career.“It does mean a lot,” Cobb said. “It’s a lot of years, a lot of work that’s been put into that. It’s an arbitrary number but it looks really pretty and it’s just a moment to look back and reflect.”Cobb became the 544th player to reach that pretty, arbitrary number, which might sound like a lot. But it’s a fraction of the thousands of arms to throw a major-league pitch over the past 146 years. And for him, it came after the Giants and weighted-ball work helped him, in his mid-30s, throw harder than ever before and rediscover the suc...
