Asian shares are mostly higher after Wall Street rally caps a dismal week
SUMMARY: Asian shares mostly rose on Monday following a U.S. stock rally, despite the S&P 500 ending down 2% for the week. U.S. lawmakers passed a budget deal, preventing a government shutdown. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 climbed 0.9% while Honda and Nissan’s potential merger created market fluctuations. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Australia’s S&P/ASX 500 also saw gains. In the U.S., Friday’s gains were driven by positive inflation data, though concerns about fewer interest rate cuts next year lingered. Oil prices increased slightly, with U.S. crude at $69.86 a barrel.

Why did at least 67 people die in Christmas charity stampedes in struggling Nigeria?
SUMMARY: In a tragic week, stampedes at Christmas charity events in Nigeria resulted in at least 67 deaths, primarily of children, amidst a severe cost-of-living crisis. In Oyo state, 35 children died, while 22 perished in Anambra and 10 in Abuja, where over 1,000 attendees sought food and clothing. Rising inflation at a 28-year high and 63% of the population living in poverty drive desperation for aid. The lack of security measures at events has been criticized, with calls for better organization to prevent future tragedies. President Bola Tinubu urged enforcement of stricter safety protocols for such gatherings.
