Just a week ahead of the earnings season, the S&P 500 headed toward its first record close since August. Strong corporate earnings, enthusiasm around the artificial intelligence trade and a US economy that has so far avoided a significant slowdown have fueled a roughly 14% advance in the S&P 500 this year. The rally is getting additional support from lower oil prices, which have helped temper concerns about rising consumer costs.

Paramount Skydance Corp. outlined the executive leadership team that will helm the new company resulting from its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. after its expected closing on Tuesday.
Under the name of Skydance, the new Hollywood behemoth will operate with co-chief executive officers, pairing a creative executive with a more business-oriented leader to manage several of its major divisions. David Ellison will continue to serve as CEO and chairman, overseeing the company’s long-term strategy and creative vision, while co-CEO Ynon Kreiz, who stepped down as CEO of Mattel Inc. last week, will focus on day-to-day management, the company said Monday. Andy Gordon will serve as president and Dennis Cinelli will stay on as CFO.

US stocks extended gains on Monday as investors weighed resilient earnings expectations against mounting bond-market and political worries. The S&P 500 inched closer to a record high despite the benchmark Treasury yield spiking to the highest in more than two decades. The stock gauge has gained roughly 14% since the beginning of the year.

The US added fewer jobs than expected in September and wage growth slowed, signaling some caution among employers amid rising costs. Nonfarm payrolls increased 29,000 last month after a downward revision to the prior two months, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Friday. That missed all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, partly reflecting a growing workforce.

A FOIA request has uncovered another little-known feature of life at the top of the Justice Department: attorneys general have used alternate email addresses to conduct government business for over a decade. This time around, Bloomberg News Senior Investigative Reporter Jason Leopold obtained the alias used by former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The discovery raises broader questions about government transparency and access to public records. Leopold explains how alternate email addresses can make FOIA searches more difficult when requesters don’t know which accounts officials used to conduct government business -- and how revealing those aliases can help journalists locate records that might otherwise be missed. He speaks with Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Alexis Christoforous.
