Toyota will close its Czech manufacturing plant for all of February due to a lack of components caused by the continuing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Japanese car maker’s Kolín facility, situated 37 miles east of Prague, produces two of its smallest offerings, the Toyota Aygo X and Toyota Yaris, and the plant's closure is expected to impact European lead times on both models. The Yaris is also produced at a Toyota factory in France. "Due to a shortage of components in the supply chain, we will be forced to halt production temporarily from 31 January," said Toyota plant spokesperson Tomas Paroubek, reports Automotive News Europe . Tausi Insider has contacted Toyota for more information on how the UK market will be impacted by the closure. On its website, the car maker notes that customers should contact local dealers for specific model lead times. The decision comes after Toyota boosted output at the plant by 34% last year, with more than 202,000 cars rol...

When the owners of Burn Boot Camp transitioned from holding workouts in a parking lot to building out a brick and mortar studio in 2015, they had a decision to make: To put in mirrors, or to go mirror-free? They spoke with their clients—who were all women, including many who were mothers—and they came to a conclusion. “It was a no-brainer to not make the 45 minutes that [our clients] get and that they're committing to themselves a place where they feel intimidation or insecurity,” Morgan Kline , Burn Boot Camp CEO and co-founder, says. “Whether they absolutely love everything about their body, or they don't, we don't want those distractions when they're in Burn Boot Camp.” Kline and her husband Devan have stood by that decision as they've grown from one studio to five, and then began a franchise business. There are now over 330 Burn Boot Camp locations throughout the U.S., and it is policy to not have m...

Once again it looks like bulls are ready to take charge for good as the S&P 500 (SPY) is on the verge of a key breakout. And that is why I say “Stock Buyers Beware!”. That is because this is likely another false start for bulls who don’t understand the big picture that points to much more bearish downside for stocks in the weeks and months ahead. Read on below for the full story. shutterstock.com - StockNews The bull vs. bear tug of war is at another critical juncture as they battle over 4,000. The two previous skirmishes were won by the bears. I am referring to the big rallies that ran out of steam in mid August and early December. The hawkish Fed was the main catalyst each time to swing things back to the downside. Will that be the case once again after the February 1 st Fed announcement? That is the topic that most deserves our attention at this time, and will be the foc...

1. You don’t worry too much about money All images and videos are copyrighted to their respective owners You have a routine of having restful, deep sleep at night. If something does keep you up at night, it usually has little to do with money. Financially stable people profit from this non-financial benefit due to their challenging financial situation. This is not to imply that you have no monetary concerns; instead, it is to say that they are modest and can almost always be resolved. Advertisment 2. Your financial situation is improving All images and videos are copyrighted to their respective owners We can all agree that having an unhealthy financial lifestyle is living paycheck to paycheck and barely keeping your head above water. So, even if it may sound cliché, having money is the most evident sign of financial health. To be clear, having millions of dollars is optional for financial stability. Instead, if you lead a financially savvy lifestyle, you need to have a r...

U.S. oil refining margins on Tuesday hit a three-month high and are likely headed higher, analysts said, as unplanned refinery outages weigh on already-tight fuel supplies. The outages have pushed up gasoline prices in Texas and Oklahoma this year ahead of what is expected to be a heavier than usual turnaround season for refineries. The rising prices and margins are unusual for this time of year, when travel falls. The crack spread, a key gauge of refiner profits that measures the difference between crude oil prices and selling prices of finished products, touched $42.41 on Tuesday, the highest since October. The five-year January average is $15.56, an analysis of Refinitiv Eikon data showed. Average gasoline prices in Texas hit about $3.07 a gallon on Tuesday, up almost 44 cents from a month ago, according to the AAA motor group. Motorists in Oklahoma also are paying about 45 cents more, at $3.13 a gallon, AAA data showed. A diesel producing unit at PBF Energy’s Chalmette, Louisiana...

Alphabet Inc’s Google GOOGL-Q said on Wednesday it believes the complaint from the U.S. Department of Justice accusing the company of abusing its dominance in digital advertising is “without merit.” The company also added it will “defend itself vigorously.” The government on Tuesday said Google should be forced to sell its ad manager suite, tackling a business that generated about 12% of Google’s revenue in 2021 while also playing a vital role in the search engine and cloud company’s overall sales. Google, which depends on its advertising business for about 80% of its revenue, said the government was “doubling down on a flawed argument that would slow innovation, raise advertising fees and make it harder for thousands of small businesses and publishers to grow.” The federal government has said its Big Tech investigations and lawsuits are aimed at levelling the playing field for smaller rivals who are up against a group of powerful companies that include Amazon.com AMZN-Q, Facebook-o...
