Particularly for retirees, their regular payouts can be used to help cover living expenses, reducing the need to sell assets and helping to make their nest eggs last longer. Plus, if income is your focus, the yield itself needs to be attractive enough to make the investment worthwhile. At current share prices, Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW), Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), and Telus (NYSE: TU) all yield 4% or better, and all could be great options for retirees to buy today.

Dollar shaky after euro rebound; yen mired at 34-year low
However the yen remained mired near a 34-year low versus the U.S. currency, even as Japanese officials stepped up intervention warnings. The dollar index - which measures the currency against six major peers including the euro, sterling and yen - was flat at 105.64 in early Asian trading after slumping 0.4% overnight and touching the lowest level since April 12 at 105.23. The euro was little changed at $1.069975 following Tuesday's 0.45% rally, after data showed business activity in the euro zone expanded at its fastest pace in nearly a year, primarily due to a recovery in services.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout hit leadoff for the first time since 2020 as the slumping Halos took on the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. “I'm just trying to shake things up and trying to see if I can get some different cohesiveness with my lineup,” manager Ron Washington said. The Angels entered on a five-game losing streak. Trout led the American League and was second in the majors with seven home runs but struggled at the plate over the previous seven games.

LG Energy Solution said on Wednesday it would launch a new business model of licensing out its battery technologies next month, as infringements of the South Korean company's patents surge with competition to supply electric vehicle makers. LGES, the world's second-largest EV battery producer after China's CATL, will also consider issuing warning notices or suing those it suspects are infringing its patents, Lee Han Sun, head of LGES' intellectual property center, said in an interview. "Over the past two or three years, myriads of latecomers have sprung up in the EV battery sector globally, resulting in the spread of a price war and patent infringements," Lee said.
