Nambatac, TNT duel with Beermen for the league crown jewel

HE helplessly watched on the bench with a groin injury last season while TNT attempted in vain to ascend to the PBA Philippine Cup (PC) throne.

Now Rey Nambatac gets his chance to help the Tropang 5G complete the unfinished business in the All-Filipino and get back at conqueror San Miguel Beermen (SMB) in another blockbuster duel for the league’s crown jewel.

Mr. Nambatac, who sparked TNT’s epic 99-96 come-from-behind Game 5 clincher over Meralco in Game 5, looks to flash the deadly form that led to his Finals MVP-winning performance in their Season 49 Governors’ Cup title run as they take another shot at the PC trophy held by the Beermen.

The former Letran star actually dealt with back and ankle issues throughout the conference but managed to get back to near full-strength in time for the Last Dance.

“Hopefully because he’s gotten a lot of games now under his belt,” TNT coach Chot Reyes said of “Sting Rey” in the Power and Play program on Cignal.

The Tropang 5G and the Beermen go at it again beginning on Wednesday. This marks their third title dispute in the last four seasons, with SMB prevailing in the first two instances, 4-3 (Season 47) and 4-2 (Season 49).

But San Miguel Beermen titan June Mar Fajardo was quick to downplay past records. — Olmin Leyba

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
