Residents in West Texas describe noise, odors and health concerns from a gas flare operating near their homes as oil producers face scrutiny over pollution and their commitments to curb emissions. Oil giants including ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum and others have pledged to reduce or eliminate the flaring practice, but a new investigation by Bloomberg News and The Examination found persistent flames at sites tied to companies participating in the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring initiative. For more, we speak with Ben Elgin, Bloomberg News ESG Reporter & Will Evans, Senior Reporter for The Examination.

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.

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 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.
