The cloud-based data warehousing company priced its IPO at $120, well above its original range of $75 to $85, and it started trading at $245 a share.

The official manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) is expected to rise to 50.5 in June - the highest in a year - from 49.6 the previous month, returning to expansionary territory for the first time since February, according to the median forecast of 30 economists polled by Reuters. A reading above 50 indicates expansion from the previous month, below 50 means contraction. An expansion of factory activity after three months of contraction adds to evidence that the world's second-largest economy is charting a path out of the supply-side shocks from COVID-19 lockdowns and could ease downward pressure on the yuan, which has shed 5% against the U.S. dollar this year.

Police concluded at the time that the bloodbath in a riverside shantytown in Caloocan city in the Manila metropolis was set off by a drug gang war. But Soriano angrily blamed four plainclothes police officers and the brutal anti-drug crackdown o

NEW YORK (AP) — A rare Republican who supports abortion rights found success in Colorado in the first primary elections held since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, while New York's first female governor positioned herself to become a major voice in the post-Roe landscape.

And in at least two states, electi

Pritzker immediately fra

Singer-songwriter Lily Meola had an emotionally challenging audition on America’s Got Talent, Tuesday. Despite having already shared a stage with Willie Nelson in 2014 and being one of Rolling Stone magazine’s “Top 10 Country Artists You Need to Know” in 2016, her life took a tragic turn. “Then my life flipped upside down, and my mom was diagnosed with cancer,” Meola said. “And I became her full-time caretaker. I lost my record deal during that, but I think maybe it was a bit of a blessing, 'cause it gave me some extra time to really be there for her.” Meola’s mother, Nancy, unfortunately succumbed to her cancer. However her legacy lives on in Lily’s voice and her original song “Daydream.” Releasing an album was part of Meola’s original “daydream” but she gave it up to take care of her mom. Based on the reactions from judges like Heidi Klum, they want her to have that chance again. “I don't know what to say,” Klum told Meola. “I'm, like, speechless, you know? Like, sometimes you have someone on the stage and you hear their voice. And just everything about you, you just light up. I see a light around you. And I don't know, I immediately fell in love with you.” Heidi gave Lily her Golden Buzzer so she could advance directly to the live rounds (tweet) and viewers on Twitter thought it was a great decision. As for Lily, the bittersweet moment was just a reminder of her mom’s love for her music. “She’d be so mad at me if I wasn’t pursuing what I love, and ‘Daydream’ was one of her favorite songs,” Meola said backstage, after receiving the Golden Buzzer. “So, I think she’d be really happy, wherever she might be.”
