The Business News Headlines 19 December 2023

Welcome back to the Business News Headlines for Tuesday the 19th day of December. Some of you have asked if the equities markets will close early this coming Friday and the answer is no.  Wall Street usually closes early on Christmas Eve but because that falls on Sunday the markets are already closed and will reopen on Tuesday December 26th. Hey, we're here to help. Also, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today: 

• Meat processor JBS is in hot water in Brazil;

• EV owners or perspective owners will like this story;
