Consumers relatively upbeat in latest confidence index
Low interest rates and a stronger housing market are keeping consumers relatively buoyant. The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Index was unchanged at 123 in January, sitting around its best level in more than a year. Consumers were slightly less optimistic about their current position but are slightly more upbeat about the longer term, and more think it's a good time to buy a big-ticket item. "New Zealand consumers are feeling pretty alright about things at the moment - the labour market remains tight, interest rates are low and the housing market is lifting again," ANZ's chief economist Sharon Zollner said. She said the lift in the housing market was likely behind the rise in those thinking its a good time to buy a major household item, which in turn would support the retail sector.

James Milner & Xherdan Shaqiri to miss Southampton – but Klopp sets return date
Jurgen Klopp has ruled James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri out of Saturday’s clash with Southampton, but delivered good news on their return date. The pair have been sidelined since the start of January, with hamstring and calf problems respectively, with Milner missing four games and Shaqiri playing one of the last seven. Their absence has been softened by the return of Fabinho and the integration of Takumi Minamino, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and now Naby Keita are also available in midfield again. Southampton head to Anfield this weekend for the Reds’ last game before the winter break—with Klopp and his first-team squad not involved against Shrewsbury in midweek—but neither Milner or Shaqiri will be available. But the manager revealed that they would be back for the trip to Norwich on February 15, as will Sadio Mane provided his recovery from a hamstring injury goes to plan.

One of the the country's largest steel manufacturers says adverse trading conditions will result in a large first half loss. Steel & Tube warned in November that its first half result would be less than last year's profit, but conditions were worse than expected, further impacting sales revenue and volumes. It was now forecasting a loss in underlying EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of between $36 million and $37m in the six months to December, compared with a $9.8m underlying profit the year earlier. The result included non-cash charges of $37m related to a write-down in the company's goodwill, as well as $2m in restructuring costs and $2m in debt write-offs. The bottom line would be further affected by another $2m to $3m charge resulting from changes in tax accounting.

A little-known trucking company surges nearly 58% after Volkswagen makes a surprise offer to buy
Hardly a household name, truck manufacturer Navistar’s stock rose to sudden popularity Thursday, continuing into Friday’s pre-market trading. Shares surged as much as 57.7% Friday after Volkswagen’s trucking arm, Traton, made an unsolicited offer to buy the company for $US2.9 billion, or $US35 per share, Thursday. Volkswagen, which already owns a 16.76% stake in Navistar, said it would pay entirely in cash. The two companies are some of the biggest in the truck-making industry. But to make the acquisition, Volkswagen will have to get the blessing of activist investor Carl Icahn: The billionaire’s fund owns about 17% of Navistar’s outstanding stock, making Icahn Navistar’s single largest shareholder. The offer comes at a time when the broader trucking manufacturing industry is in a slump, with new orders in decline, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. In its most recent earnings, Navistar’s fourth quarter revenue declined versus the year prior. The stock started the year sliding downwards after it trailed…

Trump's impeachment trial might not wrap up today after all
Thought President Trump's impeachment trial was hours away from wrapping up? Think again. The Senate on Friday morning seemed headed toward acquitting Trump as soon as this evening, but The Washington Post is now reporting the impeachment trial is looking like it might actually last into next week, possibly not ending until as late as next Wednesday. According to the Post, the Senate may "take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial's endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators." If the trial ends up lasting until Wednesday, this would mean Trump would have not yet been acquitted by the time he delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for Tuesday. It also means the trial wouldn't be over in time for Monday's Iowa caucuses, much to the chagrin of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Politico's Jake Sherman is reporting the same, writing that the trial going…

Minamino poised for first league start – Predicting the Liverpool lineup vs. Southampton
Jurgen Klopp should make at least one change as Liverpool take on Southampton, with the absence of Sadio Mane still the key area of focus. The Reds host Ralph Hasenhuttl’s vastly improved Saints on Saturday afternoon, in their last game before a much-needed winter break. There are signs of fatigue throughout Klopp’s squad having passed the midway point of the campaign, but that has so far not affected their form, with 23 wins from 24 in the Premier League. Making their 24 from 25 will be the objective at Anfield, and the numbers available to Klopp are increasing by the game as those recovering from injury slowly return. This gives the manager plenty of scope for change, though few should be expected this weekend.
