Netflix hits 40 million users for ad-supported plan
The jump comes at a time when streaming companies are facing stiff competition and introducing bundles with their rivals to retain subscribers.

Defending champion Koepka looks to deliver more PGA punishment on 'big boy' course at Valhalla
Brooks Koepka called them “punishment workouts” — the heavy menu of sprints and weightlifting that sap the color from his face, put him on the verge of throwing up, and leave him dreaming of ways to avoid that kind of torture in the future. Five weeks later, he’s at Valhalla — a “big-boy golf course,” as he described it — looking to defend his title at the PGA Championship. It might explain why his trainer, Ara Suppiah, dialed up the tough workouts after Augusta, and why Koepka has as many major victories (5) as he had “regular” wins on the PGA and European tour (4) before he left two years ago.

FOREX-Dollar swoons after data suggests rate cut in September
The dollar slumped against major currencies on Wednesday after U.S. consumer prices in April showed inflation had resumed trending lower in the second quarter, raising hopes the Federal Reserve can deliver an interest rate cut as early as September. Also boosting optimism that the Fed was closer to a rate cut was a reading of U.S. retail sales that was unexpectedly flat last month, as higher gasoline prices pulled spending away from other goods in a sign the consumer was retrenching a bit. After inflation proved "sticky" in the first quarter, with housing rental rates and other prices remaining stubbornly high, the market welcomed the CPI data.

Why the speech by Kansas City Chiefs kicker was embraced at Benedictine College's commencement
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker may have stirred controversy in some quarters for his proclamations of conservative politics and Catholicism on Saturday, but he received a standing ovation from graduates and other attendees of the May 11 commencement ceremony at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.

UPDATE 1-US Congress passes broad aviation bill on safety and consumer rights
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a broad aviation bill to boost air traffic controller staffing, increase funding to avert runway close-call incidents, and speed refunds for canceled flights. The 387-26 vote sends the $105 billion, five-year measure to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to President Joe Biden for his signature by Friday after the Senate approved it last week. The bill prohibits airlines from charging fees for families to sit together and requires them to accept vouchers and credits issued in lieu of refunds for at least five years.

The U.S. Southwest and Texas are at an increased risk of power supply shortfalls during times of peak demand this summer due to rising electricity consumption and supply constraints, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation said on Wednesday. Parts of the Midwest and New England are also under elevated threat of inadequate power supplies in high electricity consumption periods this summer, while the U.S. Northwest and most of the East Coast are expected to see normal conditions, NERC said.
