Reports suggest that PRADA is considering acquiring Versace.
Reports on Friday indicated that the Italian fashion brand PRADA may be considering acquiring Versace.

In December, the USA non-farm payroll employment is expected to increase by 0.165 million, which is likely to support the Federal Reserve in pausing interest rate cuts.
In December, employers in the USA possibly hired a large number of employees, and the unemployment rate remained stable, highlighting that the labor market did not experience the greater slowdown as the market expected this year. The median estimate from polling economists suggests that the number of non-farm jobs in the USA may have increased by 0.165 million last month. This figure is lower than the 0.227 million in November, which will fuel claims that the labor market is continuing to gradually slow down. The USA Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the monthly employment report on Friday, and this data will support the Federal Reserve's intention to refocus on inflation after reducing interest rates by a full percentage point last year to prevent a rapid deterioration of the labor market.
