By Olivia Le Poidevin and Emma Farge GENEVA, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Police sprayed tear gas on protesters in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday evening who were marching in support of the Gaza flotilla, eyewitnesses told Reuters, which the police confirmed. "We were retreating and suddenly got heavily gassed," a eye witness told Reuters, describing a burning sensation in their eyes and difficult breathing. Israel's interception of the flotilla sparked protests in Geneva and Bern, as well as in Italy and Colombia on Thursday. Israeli forces intercepted around 40 boats carrying aid and more than 400 foreign activists, including some Swiss nationals, and Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, to Gaza A photo shared with Reuters by a eyewitness in Geneva showed a large plume of white smoke coming from a street filled with protesters, which they described as tear gas. A second eyewitness told Reuters that they saw a large white vehicle spray water on the front line of protesters, which a video shared by the Swiss national broadcaster RTS also showed. Alexandre Brahier, spokesperson for the Geneva police said that around 3,000 people, mostly adults and young men had joined the protest. "We had to use control measures including tear gas and water canons," he said, adding that protesters were not carrying dangerous arms but were "throwing things", causing some damage to property spraying graffiti. Such confrontations are rare for Switzerland although pro-Gaza protests have been gathering momentum in recent weeks. "Large protests are to be expected in big cities but it’s not every day that we need to resort to control measures like this," Brahier added. Mobile phone footage shared with Reuters show flares being thrown amidst the crowd, as hundreds of people moving down a crammed street in central Geneva.

* LatAm FX down 0.4%, stocks off 0.7% * Argentine markets steady after Bessent support comments * Consumer prices in Sao Paulo climbed in September * Peruvian stocks hit an intraday record high (Updates with afternoon prices) By Nikhil Sharma and Purvi Agarwal Oct 2 (Reuters) – Latin American stocks and currencies fell on Thursday as concerns about the U.S. government shutdown weighed on the markets, while Argentine assets steadied after the U.S. reaffirmed financial support for the economy. MSCI's index for Latin American currencies slipped 0.4% and was on track to snap its four-day streak of gains, while the dollar held steady despite pressures from a partial government closure. Speculation was rife about the duration of the shutdown and its effect on economic data at a time when markets are focused on labor data and the Federal Reserve's future policy actions. The shutdown is likely to postpone the September jobs report, leaving investors to rely on Wednesday's ADP National Employment Report, which showed weakness in private payrolls and boosted bets on a 25-basis-point cut later this month. The spotlight remained on Argentina, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed plans to provide a credit swap line, signaling Washington's intent to maintain strategic interests in the country. The local peso stabilized after three straight declines that reflected growing skepticism over U.S. support for President Javier Milei and a potential $20 billion swap line for Argentina's central bank. "U.S. support has become a de facto backstop for Argentine assets, but the lack of transparency and delays are adding volatility to the market," said a group of Citigroup analysts led by Donato Guarino. The country's assets have swung in both directions ahead of the upcoming mid-term legislative elections, where Milei's party seeks to gain seats to strengthen its minority position following a setback in last month's provincial elections. "The October 26 elections will be the inflection point: either Argentina consolidates its stabilization program, or it risks slipping back into volatility," said Citigroup analysts. The IMF said Argentina will need government commitment to a fiscal anchor and a consistent monetary and foreign exchange policy to strengthen confidence and reduce inflation. A Reuters poll showed on Wednesday that the currency is likely to weaken following the October 26 vote, but without suffering another big devaluation. Argentina's international dollar bonds also steadied, while the local stock index gained 1.3% after two sessions of losses. Milei, who is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on October 14, said on Wednesday that proposed U.S. financial support could include purchases of Argentine debt in the secondary market and a profit-sharing arrangement. In Brazil, the real dipped 0.2% and the main stock index fell 1% . Consumer prices in Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous city, climbed 0.65% in September, from an increase of 0.04% in August. A broader gauge for Latin American stocks extended losses to fall about 0.7%. Mexican stocks pared losses to gain 0.4% and the currency declined 0.3%, partly dragged down by falling oil prices. The country, being the second-largest oil exporter from Latin America, generates significant income from the commodity. On Wednesday, private sector analysts polled by Mexico's central bank upped the country's 2025 growth forecasts for the fourth consecutive time, while also raising inflation projections. The slip in oil prices weighed on Colombia, with stocks down 0.6%, while the local peso fell 0.2%. Chile's peso fell 0.2%, while the country's main stock index declines 0.4%. Peruvian stocks jumped 0.7% after briefly hitting an all-time high.

(Adds details from paragraph two onwards) Oct 2 (Reuters) – Alphabet's Google and Comcast-owned NBCUniversal said they had reached a long-term agreement to retain availability of NBC shows, including "Sunday Night Football" and "America's Got Talent", on YouTube TV. The deal includes a multi-year commitment for carriage of NBCUniversal's full portfolio of networks such as NBC and CNBC on YouTube TV, according to a statement from the companies on Thursday. YouTube now accounts for the largest share of TV viewing in the U.S., ahead of streaming rival Netflix and traditional media companies such as Disney, according to analytics firm Nielsen. NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service will also be available in the coming months as a subscription through YouTube Primetime Channels. The two companies agreed to a short-term contract extension on October 1, averting a blackout and ensuring YouTube TV subscribers retained access to NBCUniversal programming while negotiations continued.
