Why Tim Davies made global news headlines – TODAY Show

Tim Davies gets to go to all parts of Australia – and sometimes overseas – when delivering the national weather forecast for Today.

And when out on his adventures, the Today weather presenter is often faced with some interesting situations that put his skills and ability to perform under pressure to the test.

But one weather cross Tim did earlier this week caught the attention of international news broadcaster CNN for a surprising and “gag-worthy” reason that had his co-hosts laughing.

Tim was reporting from a farm in Merton, Victoria when the smell of cow manure got the better of him.

“The air is very fresh here this morning I can confirm, goodness me…” Tim said in the video before he starts to retch from the stink.

But while Karl and Sarah applauded their co-host for making global news, he was a little embarrassed it was a package by a reporter he has long looked up to.

“Oh, my goodness, I can’t believe I have gone global for gagging, viral for very nearly vomiting, it’s not exactly how I saw my moment going unfortunately,” Tim said.

“On a serious note I was thrilled when I got tagged by CNN and it came up on my socials, I thought ‘why is CNN tagging me, what have I done?'”

“But Jeanne Moos is iconic and as a Junior journo I looked up to her so much, so for her to do a story on me blows my mind.”

Luckily for Tim, he was presenting the weather from the sunny Great Barrier Reef this morning where there was plenty of fresh air to recover from his farm visit earlier in the week.

Global market: Asian stocks mixed, SGX Nifty down – key triggers that may dictate Indian stock market today — June 1 | Mint – Mint

Asian markets were trading mixed on Thursday as investors remained cautious amid the passage of US debt ceiling bill and the release of manufacturing data of several Asian countries, including China.

In the US, the House of Representatives passed a bill to suspend the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling on Wednesday, with majority support from both Democrats and Republicans, avoiding a catastrophic default, Reuters reported.

The Republican-controlled House voted 314-117 to send the legislation to the Senate, which must enact the measure and get it to President Joe Biden’s desk.

In Japan, factory activity expanded in May as the final au Jibun Bank Japan manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) stood at 50.6, led by increases in output and new orders, Reuters reported.

However, South Korea’s factory activity shrank for an 11th consecutive month in May. The S&P Global’s seasonally adjusted PMI for South Korean manufacturers stood at 48.4 last month as a slowing global economy hit output and orders.

Asian Markets

Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.56% to cross the 31,000 mark, while the Topix gained 0.2%.

South Korea’s Kospi and Kosdaq rose marginally, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures were trading lower.

Meanwhile, SGX Nifty was trading 71 points, or 0.38%, lower at 18,593.

US Markets

US stocks ended lower overnight as investors awaited a crucial vote on the debt ceiling deal in Congress.

The S&P 500 closed 25.69 points, or 0.61%, lower at 4,179.83, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 134.51 points, or 0.41%, to 32,908.27. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 82.14 points, or 0.63%, to end at 12,935.29.

European Markets

European stocks declined on Wednesday amid concerns over global slowdown. The pan-European STOXX 600 index ended 1.1% lower, after hitting its lowest level since March 30.

Britain’s FTSE 100 declined 1% to 7,446.14, while Germany’s DAX lost 1.5% at 15,664.02. France CAC 40 shed 1.5% to 7,098.70.

Currencies

The US dollar retreated from a two-week high against its major peers amid trimmed bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this month, though the looming debt ceiling deadline gave safe haven support to the greenback.

The US dollar index rose 0.06% to 104.21. Euro rose 0.04% against the greenback to $1.06895, while Sterling slipped 0.01% to $1.2440.

Energy

Crude oil prices fell for the third straight session amid fears of oversupply after a large build was seen in US crude stocks last week. Signs of weaker demand from China also dragged oil prices lower.

Brent crude futures for August delivery declined 0.6% to $72.20 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) fell 0.6% to $67.70 a barrel.

Gold prices today

Gold prices rose in early Asian trade led by a softer dollar, trading in a range as traders focused on the US debt ceiling vote.

Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,965.61 per ounce, while US gold futures inched 0.2% higher at $1,965.20.
