Law enforcement confirm man, who was armed with a shotgun and gas canister at Trump’s Florida home, was 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin Major institutions of higher education in the US are reckoning with the latest release of the Epstein files after discovering the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with board members, professors and administrators on campuses across the country. In some cases, professors have been placed under review, research centers closed or conferences canceled. Students and staff have responded in different ways, including petitions, open letters and campus forums. The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling. For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely “terrible” things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesn’t explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which there are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used.

Olekcii Mach/iStock via Getty Images By Warren Patterson, Head of Commodities Strategy and Ewa Manthey, Commodities Strategist Energy – Nuclear talks and tariff uncertainty The oil market had a strong week last week. ICE Brent settled almost 6% higher over the period as uncertainty over potential US action in Iran builds, with the US continuing to move military assets into the region and US President Donald Trump giving Iran a deadline to come to a nuclear deal. However, prices are trading softer this morning with further talks between the US and Iran planned for Thursday, while Iran’s foreign minister said that there is a chance for a diplomatic solution. In the case of a deal, we would see a fairly aggressive erosion of the risk premium currently priced into the market – although reaching a deal is easier said than done. The other element of uncertainty facing the market is tariffs once again. While the US Supreme Court ruled against President Trump’s IEEPA tariffs late last week, it did not take long for the US administration to announce new temporary tariffs of 10% under a different law, which were then quickly raised to the maximum 15% allowed under this law. These tariffs can remain in place for a maximum of 150 days, and this will likely be a period that the administration uses to find alternatives to keep tariffs in place. The latest positioning data shows that speculators cut their net long in ICE Brent by a modest 17,876 lots over the last reporting week to 263,186 lots as of last Tuesday. The move was predominantly driven by longs liquidating. The ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and resulting supply risks have kept speculative interest in the oil market fairly elevated so far this year. In natural gas markets, the Golden Pass LNG export plant is a step closer to starting up, with an increasing amount of natural gas flowing into the facility. The first train at the facility is expected to start operations in March, which will have a capacity of around 7bc...

IQM Quantum Computers will go public through a merger with a blank-check vehicle in a deal expected to value the Finnish quantum computing firm at $1.8 billion, the company said Monday. It will merge with New Jersey-based Real Asset Acquisition Corp. , which specializes in real estate and technology infrastructure deals. IQM expects to have about $450 million in cash once the deal goes through. The merger will see IQM list American Depositary Shares in the US, and potentially offer ordinary shares in Helsinki down the line. Investor interest in quantum computing has surged as it shows early signs of moving from pure research toward commercial applications. Venture capitalists are piling into the sector, with startups commanding high valuations, and financial institutions and governments are increasingly experimenting with the technology. Still, building quantum computers is expensive and there’s no clear path to profitability. Backers are betting that quantum systems will eventually solve problems much faster than classical machines, potentially impacting sectors such as cybersecurity, finance and drug development. The listing follows the public debut of Infleqtion Inc. , also via a special purpose acquisition company merger, on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this month. Infleqtion’s shares spiked as much as 9.8% on the first day of trading, but are down about 15% since going public. Other quantum computing firms set to go public include Canada’s Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc. and Singapore-based Horizon Quantum Computing Pte . Honeywell-backed Quantinuum could raise more than $1.5 billion in an initial public offering, Bloomberg reported last month. Quantinuum Is Said to Work With Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan on IPO Meanwhile, French startup Pasqal is in discussions to raise around €200 million at a unicorn valuation, Bloomberg previously reported, while venture capital firm Quantonation announced a €220 million quantum-focused fund earlier in February.

Bangladesh plans to renegotiate its power purchase deal with India’s Adani Power Ltd. in order to seek lower prices, according to people familiar with the matter, marking one of the newly elected government’s first initiatives since taking office last week. The cost of coal used by the Indian power supplier is too high, as is the price of electricity being charged to Bangladesh, said one of the people, a senior government official. Reopening negotiations with the company is at the top of the agenda for the new government, the person said, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. The government hasn’t yet raised the matter with the company, the person said. Rezaul Karim, chairman of the Bangladesh Power Development Board, didn’t respond to calls for comment. A representative for Adani Power said it hasn’t received any communication from the government regarding renegotiations, and it was meeting all its supply obligations under the contract. Adani Power has been supplying electricity to Bangladesh from its coal-fired plant in the Indian state of Jharkhand since 2023. Bangladesh began importing all of the power produced at Adani Power’s 1,600-megawatt unit under a 25-year power purchase agreement negotiated during the reign of then-leader Sheikh Hasina. Hasina was ousted in August 2024 after thousands of mainly young protesters took to the streets demanding she step down. Two months later, Adani Power reduced electricity supply to Bangladesh because of unpaid bills, risking blackouts . The country accumulated billions of dollars in unpaid power bills at the time. Power supplies were returned to normal in March last year. Economic Stability New Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, whose Bangladesh Nationalist Party won a sweeping victory in elections this month, has pledged to restore political and economic stability in the country. Renegotiating the contract may complicate relations with India, which has taken steps to reset ties with Rahman’s gov...

simonbradfield/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images In September 2025, I covered Continental stock ( CTTAY , CTTAF ) with a hold rating. Since then, the stock price has been flat, but we should keep in mind that Continental spun off parts of its business through AUMOVIO as Continental is refocusing its business. In this report, I discuss the performance including AUMOVIO and establish a stock price target as I am upgrading the stock from hold to buy. Continental Adjusted Price Performance Looks Strong Seeking Alpha If we look at the Seeking Alpha chart, we see that the stock has been flattish. However, that is because it does not take into account the value generated through the spin-off. To get a better understanding of the performance, we look at the sum of Continental and AUMOVIO. The synthetic price consists of Continental share price plus 0.5x AUMOVIO shares per Continental share. That brings the This synthetic price was €55.16 plus half times €39.90, which equals €75.11. Today, that price is €73.42 plus half times €41.18, which equals €94.01. This marks a 25.2% increase in the combined prices with Continental’s spin-off adjusted price performance being 33%. Continental Aims To Become A Pure-Play Tire Company The spin off in September 2025 is part of a broader reshaping of the company. Continental essentially had become a conglomerate with exposure to the automotive industry providing electronics, brakes, sensors and software along with its tire business and ContiTech providing industrial rubber and material solutions. In some way, it makes sense to use the know-how on rubbers for industrial rubbers and dive deeper into the automotive industry to capture more value per car. However, as a result Continental became a company that consisted of different businesses and each of those businesses has its own growth profile. The automotive business is cyclical with volatile margins and high R&D. Tires are the steady cash generators as it also includes premium tires. Cont...

Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images Entertainment JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) will host a company update event Monday evening, where its CEO Jamie Dimon is expected to make the case for spending $2B a week to drive the bank's future growth, the Financial Times reported. The lender previously forecast that it would spend about $105B this year, up over 9% from a year ago. "We'll be justified by the results," Dimon said in an earnings call last month. "But we're not going to be giving detail on every single thing every single quarter. You're going to have to, as partners, trust me." "We're not going to try to meet some expense target and then 10 years from now, you'd be asking us the question, how did JPMorgan get left behind?" he added. JPMorgan ( JPM ) has consistently invested more than its peers over the last decade and achieved higher returns. The bank reportedly has about $60B of capital more than required by regulators. "The U.S. banking industry is more competitive than any time since before the global financial crisis," said Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo, as quoted by FT . "JPMorgan, as the Goliath of Goliaths, is in fighting condition and ready to expand more aggressively."
