LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in over three years on Thursday and warned that at least one more increase was likely if the US-Iran conflict continues, as it started on a path that its main peers have already embarked on.
British inflation is likely to reach around 5% in the middle of next year, the BoE said, more than double the central bank's target and a blow for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham who has sought to ease cost of living pressures.
While there was little evidence so far of faster inflation outside sectors directly affected by higher energy costs, the BoE said the amount of inflation pressure coming down the road from months of high energy prices required a rate rise now.
"Today's increase shouldn't be seen as the first in an inevitable long sequence of hikes. But unless the conflict in the Middle East is resolved, neither does it seem likely to be the last increase," Governor Andrew Bailey said.

Social Security benefits are a critical income source for most older Americans. In fact, 67% of older adults (1) aged 65 get over half their income from their benefits. That's why it's so important not to do anything that could inadvertently reduce the amount you collect.
Unfortunately, when planning your retirement, you may make a move that costs you some of this money without even knowing it. Specifically, choosing to spend your retirement in one of the following eight U.S. states means that you risk losing a percentage of your benefits every year.

Jim Cramer thinks investors have gone too far.
As the tech slump dragged into a new week, the CNBC host said in a post on X that the negativity around Marvell, Apple, and Palantir "is pretty thick," adding, "No matter what they say, it isn't enough."
He made the remark as all three stocks slid on Nov. 2.
His comments landed in a rough market. Chip and memory stocks have lost about $3.7 trillion in market value since Oct. 6, and Intel suffered its worst day since 1974 on Oct. 30, falling nearly 29% after a disappointing forecast.
The chip group shed more than $400 billion on Nov. 2 alone, as reported by Yahoo Finance. In a market this nervous, even good news is getting sold.

Warren Buffett's 90/10 mix of an S&P 500 fund and Treasury bills gives a 65-year-old with $600,000 about $4,800 monthly alongside Social Security.
Senior deductions and Social Security's partial taxation shrink the federal bill to roughly $1,000 a year, under 2% of spending.
Required withdrawals at 73 will raise taxes, so Roth conversions in the years before then and protecting the bond cushion keep the plan working.
Building a portfolio and living off one are two completely different skills, and almost ****** ody teaches the second. This problem is what The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income helps, and it is free today. Read more here. (Sponsor)
Warren Buffett has told the world exactly how he wants his wife's money invested after he is gone. In his 2013 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders he wrote that his advice to the trustee "could not be more simple": put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. No stock picking, no bond ladder, no annuity.

Actor Joe Manganiello spent seven years battling chronic autoimmune issues in secret.
In his new memoir, he shares how he's recovering, including enlisting a shaman to take him floating.
He shared his health habits with Business Insider, including a testosterone-free workout strategy.
For seven years, actor Joe Manganiello lived in a world of secret pain. In his new book, "Bloodlines," he describes it as a "10-out-of-10 pain" that felt like "someone was raking my intestines with a metal wire grill brush."
From the outside, things looked great. He'd just retired his ****** le as People's "hottest bachelor alive," and was newly wed to actress Sofía Vergara. He was looking forward to playing what he considered the role of a lifetime, having just been cast as a villainous "Deathstroke" in Ben Affleck's new "Batman" movie (later canceled).

Accepting the $1M gift eliminates nearly 7% interest on a jumbo mortgage, delivering an immediate risk-free return that rivals most market strategies.
The new $15M lifetime gift exemption lets the in-laws transfer the full $1M immediately tax-free, requiring only a Form 709 filing.
An intrafamily loan at the 3.72% IRS minimum rate saves roughly 3 percentage points versus the current 6.9% jumbo mortgage rate.

People who pursue a FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) philosophy aggressively save and invest with a goal of retiring young enough to enjoy the freedom that a substantial nest egg affords. A fatFIRE adherent aims to accumulate a seven- or eight-figure retirement portfolio, enabling a lifestyle that ordinary early retirement budgets cannot support. When a couple's in-laws share those fatFIRE values, the relationship tends to run smoothly. But good intentions packaged as sizable financial gifts can shift that balance quickly, and without diplomacy and a shared strategy, even a generous offer can quietly fracture family dynamics.

Gemma Chan continues to impress on the Josephine press tour, with two Burberry looks that couldn't be more different.
Maarten De Boer/Getty Images
Gemma's Burberry Spring 2027 floral silk taffeta dress almost felt like a take on the label's signature trench coat.
Between the epaulettes, belted waist and ******* on-front design, the trench coat references were unmistakable, but the delicate floral embroidery and softly gathered neckline gave the familiar silhouette a dressier feel.
I particularly like how Gemma rolled up the sleeves and opted for ivory pointed-toe pumps, which worked beautifully with the soft grey tone of the dress. This was a charming daytime look.

Henry liquidated his retirement savings to maintain a $90,000 lifestyle after an AI-driven layoff cut his pay to $50,000, leaving him $45,000 in debt.
His $15,000 personal loan at 35% interest costs roughly $5,250 per year, far exceeding the record-high average credit card APR of 21%.
Ramsey Show hosts urged Henry to sell his car, eliminating a $620 monthly payment, stop all new borrowing, and pick up a side hustle.

Henry, an HR technology worker from Oklahoma City, called The Ramsey Show and told hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw he had been laid off. He said he had been out of work two to three months and was now "making 90,000 and now I'm making 50,000 due to my field significantly shrinking due to automation and AI." Then he described the move that turned a pay cut into a crisis: "I fully liquidated my retirement and maintain the lifestyle I was living."

Hunter Schafer attended the WIRED World Fair in Miami on Wednesday, where she took part in a panel discussion.
John Parra/Getty Images for WIRED
For an event exploring the intersection of technology, creativity and culture, Hunter's NIHL by Neil Grotzinger Spring 2027 look felt particularly fitting. With her upcoming television series Blade Runner 2099 being her latest project, the futuristic aesthetic also seemed especially relevant, even if this wasn't an official promotional appearance.
The neon-yellow hooded top, covered in intricate floral embellishments, has an almost otherworldly quality, while the contrasting printed skirt adds to the unconventional aesthetic. The combination of traditional decorative techniques and futuristic design makes this an interesting choice for the occasion.
By swapping the runway's chunky boots for lilac pumps, she gave the outfit a more feminine feel while keeping its unconventional appeal.

Princess Diana remains one of the most influential royal style figures decades after her death. From glamorous evening gowns to casual sweatshirts, her clothes attracted enormous attention and often carried meanings that went far beyond fashion. Few pieces illustrate that fascination better than her famous red Black Sheep sweater, featuring rows of white sheep and a single black one standing apart from the flock.
Diana first wore the Warm & Wonderful sweater in 1981, shortly after her engagement to Prince Charles. The playful design quickly attracted attention, particularly because the lone black sheep invited interpretations about Diana's own position within royal life. Those interpretations remain speculative, but there is clear evidence that she valued the garment. After the original sweater was damaged, Buckingham Palace contacted the designers seeking a repair or replacement. Diana later appeared publicly in the replacement.
Years later, the original sweater was rediscovered and offered at auction through Sotheby's in 2023. Before the sale, it carried an estimate of $50,000 to $80,000. Its significance came from more than Diana simply having worn it. The accompanying correspondence helped establish its history, while photographs of Diana wearing the distinctive design made it instantly recognizable to collectors and royal fashion enthusiasts.
The final result dramatically exceeded expectations. The sweater sold for $1.143 million, including fees, setting a record at the time for an item of clothing worn by Diana at auction. The price also demonstrated how dramatically demand for objects connected with the princess had grown. Other pieces from her wardrobe had already achieved impressive results, including a purple Victor Edelstein evening gown that sold for more than $600,000 earlier in 2023.
Diana's wardrobe continues to attract this level of interest because her clothing became closely connected with her public identity. Early in her royal life, she embraced romantic dresses and traditional silhouettes. Over time, her wardrobe became increasingly confident, incorporating streamlined tailoring, memorable eveningwear and relaxed casual pieces.

Emma Roberts is making headlines with her latest fashion moment as she prepares for her return to American Horror Story. The actress stepped out in New York City for a promotional appearance, bringing a romantic yet daring twist to her daytime wardrobe. Her latest look combined delicate florals, sheer fabric, and an unexpected outerwear choice.

For her appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Roberts wore a stunning dress from Monse's Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear collection. The dress featured a delicate ivory base decorated with oversized floral prints in muted pink, purple, and green tones. However, the romantic pattern wasn't the only detail that caught attention.
The dress featured a semi-transparent fabric that revealed the silhouette underneath, giving the otherwise feminine design a daring edge. The fitted silhouette hugged her figure before falling into a flowing midi-length skirt. The dress also had delicate spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical neckline, with a soft fabric detail draped over one shoulder.

Democrats secured control of the Senate on Tuesday, a seismic shift that effectively blocks President Trump's campaign to reshape the Federal Reserve and neutralizes what many ******* ysts viewed as a threat to the central bank's independence.
It also heightens the challenge for Trump should he maneuver to replace any sitting officials.
"Democrats' control of the Senate reclaims the party's ability to approve or deny the President's nominees for judges and heads of other executive branch agencies," Jonathan Pingle, an economist for UBS, wrote in a note. "That includes the need for Democrats to approve any new members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System should one of the existing governors step aside."
That political firewall directly impacts the administration's ongoing effort to remove Fed governor Lisa Cook. Trump fired Cook in August 2025, claiming she committed mortgage fraud by making misrepresentations on loan documents years before her appointment to the central bank. Cook, a Biden appointee, has denied any wrongdoing and sued. The lawsuit has gone through multiple court rungs before reaching the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Last month, Trump established a committee to determine whether her statements constituted legal "cause" for removal from the central bank, signaling that his efforts to oust her are continuing.

An expert has broken down Queen Camilla's beach clean-up moment with King Charles on their Caribbean tour. She arrived over the weekend to join her husband for the final leg in Antigua and Barbuda on November 1, 2026. The monarch began the nine-day tour on his own on October 27, 2026, covering the Bahamas and Guyana before the final leg.
An expert has observed that Queen Camilla looked "uncomfortable" while helping clear a beach in Antigua, even blurting out a quick four-word warning to dodge a painful slip-up. King Charles and Queen Camilla joined local volunteers on the sands of Fort James Beach for the environmental initiative. The Queen opted to take off her shoes and walk barefoot to navigate the shoreline during the task.
However, per the Daily Express, lip-reading specialist Nicola Hickling has warned that walking shoeless amid a busy royal party carries its own risks. On examining the arrival footage, she remarked that Camilla's face was "worth watching here." The comment came as the royal made her way over the sand alongside her husband.
Hickling told the outlet that the Queen looked "slightly uncomfortable" as she abruptly moved away from King Charles. It was "possibly to avoid having her toes trodden on." Amid the clumsy shift, Her Majesty reportedly uttered the striking four-word line: "I must go easy."
The moment, however, passed without incident, and the couple carried on cheerfully. They even playfully crossed their litter pickers like swords, then took turns placing collected rubbish into a black bag. After that, the royal pair listened to Jennifer Meranto, founder and chief executive of Adopt a Coastline. She outlined the crucial effort to safeguard the island's shore. Two of the group's youth ambassadors joined Meranto for the briefing.

After that, the royal pair listened to Jennifer Meranto, founder and chief executive of Adopt a Coastline. She outlined the crucial effort to safeguard the island's shore. Two of the group's youth ambassadors joined Meranto for the briefing.

Meghan Markle is facing renewed scrutiny following reports that she is preparing to film in Australia. After the **** ss of Sussex and Prince Harry relocated to the UK at the end of August, reports of an upcoming work stint in Australia have led royal commentators to question how the family will manage the transition.
Meghan Markle is set to appear on Junior MasterChef Australia's upcoming season, which will film in Australia in 2027. However, it has not been confirmed whether Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will be joining her. The Sussex children recently changed schools in the UK after their security team raised concerns about their previous commute. The possibility of another move has now prompted questions about how the family's arrangements could work during Meghan's filming commitment.
On The Sun's Royal Exclusive, the **** ss of Sussex was criticized for the possibility of relocating her kids again. "Career-wise for her, it's, you know, it's good news," host Sarah Hewson said. She continued, "What about for the kids who they've just brought over to the UK, got settled in a new school. Is that going to change anything or do we think the kids will be going?" The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson shared his thoughts. "The children thing is a really interesting thing because we know that they've already changed schools once," he said.
Wilkinson added, "They said they were coming back to the UK for the children's schooling. So these are unanswered questions…" The royal editor was unsure whether it would be "an exceptionally long period for Meghan and Harry." He wondered if the Sussexes will take their kids to another school. "Is it going to be another um you know, traffic crisis outside of school in Sydney or Melbourne or something? But yeah, I would really like a little kind of welcome break…," Wilkinson said.
Hewson felt Harry could take the kids for a trip to Australia if it occurs during school days. "[They could] take the kids to go out and see mum while she's working," the royal correspondent explained.

Archival couture rarely looks this playful, and Sienna Miller's minidress proved it by turning heads in Los Angeles with glossy pink satin and a shape that refused to stay simple. The hemline carried plenty of drama, while the back held an even bigger surprise. Pale tones, soft ruffles and a vintage pedigree set the mood for the "Madden" premiere.
Sienna Miller, 44, wore Emanuel Ungaro to the Los Angeles event. According to Check The Tag, the piece comes from the label's Spring/Summer 1992 Couture collection.
The strapless dress skimmed her frame in blush-pink satin. A straight, structured neckline sat above a gathered waist, which gave the fabric a softly ruched finish. Below, a tiered ruffle trimmed the hem and also added movement with every step.
The back of the dress added a touch of fun. A large, bow-like swirl of satin sat at the hip, which turned the short silhouette into something more sculptural. On Miller, the minidress looked playful yet polished, with the volume at the back and the ruffle at the front echoing one another.
The "American Sniper" actress kept her accessories minimal. Pale pink sandals with slim ankle straps kept the palette tonal, while a statement ring added a hint of sparkle. Her blonde hair was pulled into a high, loose ponytail, with a few strands left out to frame her face. Soft, rosy makeup and a pink lip completed the look.

A strong showing by Democrats in Texas swept Gina Hinojosa into office as the state's first Democratic governor since 1990 in a contest closely watched by Big Tech companies.
Texas is considered a bellwether for government restrictions on AI data centers and was just one place where deep voter unease over the build-out was on display. Voters across the country passed a series of local ballot measures aimed at restricting construction in the years ahead.
Hinojosa, Texas's first Latina governor, has pledged to impose a moratorium on data center construction in Texas, which accounts for more than 25% of planned US capacity by 2030.
"I want to say something to the powerful people who have gotten very comfortable running this state," she told supporters in her victory speech. "The voters have delivered a mandate for change, and it is change they will get."
Her victory was one of a series of wins for Democrats in Texas. The party is also on track to take control of the Texas House, which would give Hinojosa more power to follow through on restrictions even as the state Senate appears set to remain under Republican control.

Kim Kardashian knows how to make a statement with her fashion choices, and her latest appearance in Beverly Hills was no exception. The reality star and business mogul stepped out in an all-black ensemble that combined daring details with extravagant luxury. However, it was her exceptionally rare handbag that truly stole the spotlight.
Earlier reported by The Fashion Spot, Kardashian turned heads in a glossy black crocodile-effect jacket that featured a striking, structured silhouette. The fitted piece came with long sleeves, a dramatic collar, and a shiny textured finish that reflected the camera flashes.
The jacket was left partially unzipped at the front, creating a plunging neckline that added a daring touch to the sophisticated outfit.
The jacket also featured a cinched waist that emphasized Kardashian's figure, while its slightly flared hem gave it a more sculptural appearance. She paired the statement piece with opaque black tights.
Kardashian completed her ensemble with pointed-toe black stiletto heels featuring a glossy finish. She styled her signature long, jet-black hair straight with a center part, falling past her shoulders. She opted for her usual glamorous makeup, including defined eyes, sculpted cheeks, and a soft nude lip.

Archaeologists have finally cracked the code to the famed Ann Francis shipwreck’s brass combination treasure lock. However, the 16th century relic didn’t open after hours of painstaking trial-and-error. Researchers at Cardiff University and Amgueddfa Cymru, the National Museum of Wales, relied on highly detailed CT scanning equipment to peer inside the mechanical device and learn the code without touching the lock itself.
“It’s not every day you get to solve a 400-year-old mystery,” David Williams, a Cardiff University biomechanics engineer, said in a statement.
The lock’s combination was lost on December 28, 1583, when the merchant ship Ann Francis sailed into a powerful storm during a return voyage from Spain. The exact crew number is unclear, but all of them (around 14 sailors) reportedly drowned after veering off-course and wrecking along the coast of southern Wales. Unfortunately, at least one other death is likely directly tied to the Ann Francis. Archival evidence suggests locals later accused a “detestable woman” named Mother Gabley of being an “execrable witch” and casting the foul weather responsible for the maritime tragedy. While Mother Gabley’s fate remains unknown, she would have almost certainly been hanged under the recently passed “Act Against Conjurations, Enchantments and Witchcrafts” if brought to trial.
The Ann Francis remained missing for 415 years, until metal detectorist Peter Hughes rediscovered the wreckage while surveying southern Wales’ Margam Beach in 1998. Hughes and archaeologists subsequently spent more than 20 years scouring the area for the ship’s remains. By 2017, preservationists had documented over 800 gold and silver coins from Germany, Spain, and Portugal along with artifacts like compasses, ship equipment, and cutlery.
Still, the wreck’s most famous remnant is the brass combination lock still in working condition after four centuries buried in sand. It’s possible the lock was used to guard those coins, or potentially other valuables that didn’t survive exposure to the elements. Regardless, the lock has remained close with no hints to its four-letter combination for hundreds of years.

Over the last four years, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and growth-focused Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) have been virtually unstoppable. The artificial intelligence (AI) data center build-out has fueled an investing frenzy similar to what was witnessed in the mid-to-late 1990s with the internet.
But the stock market isn't without headwinds. Arguably, the biggest obstacle to the continuity of this bull market rally is persistently elevated inflation. The bad news for investors is that the Federal Reserve's initial inflation forecast for November shows things are getting downright ugly for Wall Street.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 16x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ****** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and his colleagues may need to get more aggressive with rate hikes. Image source: Official Federal Reserve Photo.
Though there's no perfect inflation prediction tool, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's Inflation Nowcasting tool does an exceptional job of accounting for new economic data and adjusting inflation forecasts in real time.

A single ticket in New Jersey won the $847 million Powerball Wednesday night, one of the 10 biggest jackpots in the lottery's history.
The ticket holder matched the winning numbers, 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56, as well as the red 21 Powerball, to take the prize.
The winner can either take a one-time payment of $363.1 million before taxes, or they can choose an annuity that is paid out over the next 29 years.
A total of 25 people won $50,000 in the draw, while four Power Play winners boosted their prizes to $100,000.
The win ends the three-month Powerball jackpot drought, after the last grand prize winner claimed $1.04 billion in Illinois, which was the eighth-largest win in the game's history.

Bob Dylan has visited Pope Leo XIV in Rome.
The American singer-songwriter and poet visited with the pontiff at the Vatican during a break between concert dates in Italy.
A Vatican spokesperson shared that the encounter was a brief one, with Pope Leo giving Dylan a rosary, and Dylan presenting the pope with a copy of his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One.
The Pope had previously quoted a1963 unpublished protest song of Dylan's in his own 2026 book, Disarmed and Disarming: Peace Is a Gift.
"I hate you cause yer man-made and man-owned, an' man-handled," he echoed about the recourse to nuclear weapons.
Dylan, who won the ****** el Prize for Literature in 2016, played for Pope John Paul II in 1997 during a concert at a religious congress in Bologna, Italy.

A widow who stays as beneficiary on her late husband's IRA avoids roughly $172,000 in forced taxable income over four years before his RMD clock starts.
Filing single cuts her Medicare IRMAA threshold in half to $109,000, so a $40,650 RMD alone can trigger $974 in extra annual Part B premiums.
Contributing to or missing a required distribution from the inherited IRA permanently strips away the deferral option the IRS otherwise allows surviving spouses.
Building a portfolio and living off one are two completely different skills, and almost ****** ody teaches the second. This problem is what The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income helps, and it is free today. Read more here. (Sponsor)
Consider a combined case. A 74-year-old widow's husband dies this year at 68, and she's the sole beneficiary of his $1 million traditional IRA. The custodian's spousal claim form offers to move the money into an IRA in her own name, and that looks like the tidy choice.

Mckenna Grace paired her micro minidress with Sonia Petroff jewelry for an interview during "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" press run. The 20-year-old portrays Maysilee Donner and her sister Merrilee Donner in the movie. She has delivered several striking looks throughout the press run.
Mckenna Grace joined co-star Joseph Zada on the new episode of the Spanish talk show "La Revuelta." Styled by Molly ***** son, the "Gifted" actress accessorized with Sonia Petroff Swan Earrings. Crafted from brass with 24-carat gold overlay, the earrings wrapped around the ear in an ear-cuff silhouette.
The top arch resembled a slender, graceful swan neck ending in a downturned beak, while the base fanned out into a stylized wing. Further, brilliant Swarovski diamonds adorned the wings' feathers. A single ***** rous pearl sat right at the bend where the neck met the plumage.
Grace paired the beautiful earrings with the Sau Lee Caspian Jacquard Print Dress. The metallic gold minidress features a high Mandarin-style collar framing a keyhole chest cutout. The bodice hugged her torso and cinched at the waist before falling into a short hemline with a little side slit for ease of movement.
The metallic gold jacquard wove an ornate, textured surface pattern that caught light from every angle, echoing the opulence of the gilded jewelry. Meanwhile, the short hemline put her long legs on full display. She paired the dress with sheer black tights, elongating the leg line. Black slingback pumps completed her look. Together, the tights and the shoes created a streamlined vertical line.

Herbert Blomstedt, who headed the San Francisco Symphony from 1985-95 and led orchestras in Scandinavia and Germany during a career over seven decades, died Wednesday. He was 99.
Blomstedt died at his home in Gothenburg, Sweden, according to his management agency, KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig.
His final performance was on May 15 with the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Hall, when he entered the stage in a wheelchair and struggled to get through Gustav Mahler's Ninth Symphony, which halted for several minutes during the third movement.

Rihanna has dressed her kids in matching Savage x Fenty PJs, and the cozy photos are already winning hearts. Set against a starry sky and a snowy backdrop, the striped looks give the campaign a dreamy, bedtime feel. What makes the campaign even more memorable is that the tiny pieces are exclusive to three little models, with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's kids, clearly stealing the spotlight.
Savage x Fenty shared the images on Instagram with a playful caption. It credited the "Sweet Satin Dream" to Rihanna "and the gang." It then added a note: "The tiny satins are exclusive to RZA, Riot, and Rocki."
The campaign marks a first of sorts, as it is the singer's first photo shoot with all three of her children. Her sons, RZA and Riot, are four and three years old, respectively. Her daughter Rocki is the youngest and is one year old.
The photos also promote the brand's collection of holiday-themed onesies. The styling of the campaign is soft and cohesive. Rihanna wears pale pink and deep burgundy striped satin pajamas, with a matching striped sleep mask pushed up on her head. Her children wear the same print in smaller sizes. The baby's set has a ruffled, romper-style cut, while the older two wear ****** on-up tops and trousers.
The set is designed around a nursery with pictures showing a deep blue, star-dotted backdrop, a large paper penguin and a hot-air balloon carrying a bunny. Rihanna and the kids lie on patchwork quilts and fluffy white snow that cover the floor.
