Shares drop as ‘higher-for-longer’ rate outlook rattles investors
LONDON -Global shares fell on Monday, extending last week’s slide as central banks reinforced the message that interest rates would stay higher for longer, while investors braced for high-stakes U.S. inflation data on Friday.

Unfortunately for Bado, he became Philippine boxing’s third casualty after Aira Villegas and Irish Magno also got the boot in their opening bouts. But it wasn’t all losses for the country’s boxing contingent with Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial and …
