财联社2月24日讯（编辑 史正丞） 综合央视新闻等媒体报道，随着美国关税政策遭遇重大变数，欧洲议会周一宣布暂停批准欧美贸易协议的程序。 欧洲议会国际贸易委员会主席伯恩德·朗格在声明中表示，多数议员已经达成一致，在当前情况下应暂停针对欧美贸易协议的程序， 直到欧美贸易关系恢复明确性、稳定性和法律确定性为止 。 （来源：欧洲议会官网） 作为背景，美国最高法院上周五裁定特朗普基于紧急经济权力法实施的关税非法。基于前述关税政策，欧美曾于2025年7月在苏格兰特恩伯里达成贸易协议。欧盟以取消对美国产工业品关税、为美国农产品提供优惠市场准入、承诺购买7500亿美元能源产品并对美投资6000亿美元，换取美国对多数欧盟输美商品征收最高15%关税。 （美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普与欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩在特朗普特恩伯里高尔夫球场达成一项贸易协议后握手） 而在美国高院裁决后，特朗普宣布依据《1974年贸易法》第122条征收“全球进口关税”，目前以该法律规定的“最高15%、最长150天”执行。 朗格在声明中表示，美国最高法院作出的裁决明确且毫不含糊。其影响不容忽视，按部就班已不再是可行之策。 他进一步强调， 美国方面用于谈判和执行“特恩伯里协议”的一项关键工具已不再可用 。同时，美国方面的取代方案将使得来自欧盟的对美进口适用超过15%门槛的实施税率，明显偏离了“特恩伯里协议”的条款。 朗格举例称，去年贸易协定达成前，美国对欧洲奶酪已经征收15%的关税，而协议则将关税上限定为15%。但现在加上15%的“全球进口关税”，实际税率接近30%。 值得一提的是，自去年夏天以来，欧美之间的嫌隙早已影响到贸易协议的落地，更不用说该协议从一开始就不受欧洲人的欢迎。今年1月，随着特朗普声称若无法控制丹麦格陵兰岛，他将对八个欧洲国家加征额外关税。对此，欧洲议会以暂停贸易协定批准程序作为回应。随着欧盟及各成员国的强烈反击，特朗普的“格陵兰岛关税”威胁随之退却。 面对美国关税的重大变化，欧盟方面自然再度选择按下“暂停键”。 “ 美国需要向我们清楚地说明到底发生了什么事情 ，”欧盟贸易发言人奥洛夫·吉尔（Olof Gill）在议会发布声明前于周一表示，并补充称，特朗普政府迄今给出的答复并未令欧盟方面满意。 他还表示：“欧盟与美方的沟通仍在进行中，但目前的进展仍不够，还需要美方拿出更多实质性回应。” 决定要“...

Martina Albertazzi | Bloomberg | Getty Images Cybersecurity stocks dropped for a second day on Monday as investors fretted over new artificial intelligence security tools that threaten to displace the sector's longstanding business models. Anthropic on Friday debuted a new security tool to its Claude model that the AI lab said could scan software code for vulnerabilities and suggest solutions. The move led to a freefall in cyber stocks that spilled over into Monday's session, raising concerns that these tools could replace tasks handled by cybersecurity companies. CrowdStrike and Zscaler dropped about 9% each, while Netskope declined nearly 10%. SailPoint fell 6%, while Okta , SentinelOne and Fortinet lost more than 4% each. Palo Alto Networks was last down 2%, while Cloudflare , which benefited from recent Moltbot enthusiasm , dropped 7%. The iShares Cybersecurity & Tech ETF dropped nearly 4%. In a post to LinkedIn over the weekend, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz defended the company's moat and said the new AI tool addresses different cybersecurity issues than the Austin-based company. "AI innovation is inspiring," he wrote. "But let's stay grounded in reality: an AI capability that scans code does not replace the Falcon platform—or your security program. Security requires an independent, battle-tested platform built to stop breaches." New AI tools capable of quickly creating websites and apps through prompts and texts have rattled the software sector in recent months. Cybersecurity is just the latest sector to feel the pinch. Since the start of this year, software giant Salesforce has lost about one-third of its value and ServiceNow has plummeted more than 34%. Microsoft has shed about a fifth of its value.

Some think yoga isn’t for them – but there’s ‘something for everybody’. Experts share what to know about the mindful practice that can improve strength and sleep Countless articles and studies tout the benefits of yoga. It can improve balance, strength, flexibility, digestion and sleep. It can also reduce stress and support mental wellbeing. And yet many people feel like yoga isn’t for them because their bodies don’t look or move a certain way. “That is how I felt before I started practicing yoga,” says Jessamyn Stanley , who has written two books about yoga and co-founded the yoga app The Underbelly . “I always thought yoga was just for thin, white women,” she says.

Thames Water ’s senior creditors are seeking approval from ratings agencies for a crucial rescue plan that would prevent the ailing utility from slipping into insolvency, people with knowledge of the matter said. A proposal to inject billions of pounds into Thames and take steep writedowns was put forward in October, and has since been revised following months of discussions with regulator Ofwat. Creditors must now bring the agencies on side to finalize a deal, since the utility needs to secure investment-grade ratings to meet its license conditions. Britain’s biggest water supplier has been on the brink of collapse for more than two years, weighed down by huge debts and effectively in the hands of creditors since shareholders walked away in 2024. The need to get a rescue deal over the line is pressing, after Thames said its cash would last “until at least March.” Failure to get approval could open the utility up to temporary nationalization . The proposal submitted by creditors last year promised to inject £5.4 billion ($7.3 billion) of fresh funds into Thames and pledged a 25% debt haircut. Modifications have been made and talks with Ofwat are now advanced, but terms could still change once they’ve been reviewed by ratings agencies, one of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing a confidential process. Thames and the creditor group, called the London & Valley Water consortium, declined to comment. Credit Rating The ratings firms were already shown the creditors’ October proposal before it was submitted to the regulator. Any move to restore Thames’ investment grade will take into account the proposed financial recapitalization as well as the utility’s business plan and operational improvements. Once the creditors secure approval from the agencies for the rescue deal, it must be submitted for a formal review by Ofwat and, finally, the government. If the proposal is given the go-ahead, it would cap a tumultuous period for the utility, which has seen i...

Mazda provided flights from Washington, DC, to San Diego and accommodation so Ars could drive the CX-5. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. ENCINITAS, Calif.—Its sales may have been buoyed of late by the big CX-90 and CX-70 SUVs, but for Mazda, the CX-5 is still where most of the action is. Unlike the similar-sized, similar-priced CX-50, which was designed just for North America , the all-new CX-5 is a global car, and it's also Mazda's standard-bearer for a range of new technologies. Gone is the basic but effective infotainment system, replaced by an all-new Google-based experience as Mazda starts its journey toward software-defined vehicles. There's even an in-house hybrid on the way, albeit not until next year. And it starts at a competitive $29,990. The new CX-5 is bigger than the car it replaces, 4.5 inches (114.5 mm) longer and half an inch (13 mm) wider than before, at 184.6 inches (4,689 mm) long, 73.2 inches (1,859 mm) wide, and 66.7 inches (1,694 mm) tall. Much of that extra space is between the axles—the wheelbase is now 110 inches (2,794 mm) long, which translates to more interior space. From the outside, there's a new light signature, and the way the bodywork curves around the front and wraps down the fenders gives me strong Range Rover vibes, even if I could never adequately capture what I'm talking about with a camera. As ever, Mazda's arresting Soul Red Crystal metallic paint (a $595 option) sparkles, even on a day when the sun remained hidden from view. The last time that Mazda evolved this compact crossover, it did so with a new upmarket interior . Since then, the brand has staked out that space across its model lineup, with cabins that punch well above their price tags. Happily, the company's designers haven't lost much mojo since then, with a restrained approach that looks good across the five different trim levels, each of which is a $2,000 step up from the one that precedes it. But if you're a current CX-5 driver, you'll find much has ch...

Zohran Mamdani's Budgetary Buffoonery Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance When Zohran Mamdani ran for mayor, he sold New Yorkers a vision of relief. Free childcare. Free buses. A rent freeze. A city that would finally tilt toward the struggling rather than the secure. What he did not campaign on was a nearly 10% property tax hike affecting more than three million residences and over 100,000 commercial properties. Yet, days after his election, here we are. The proposal, floated as leverage in a standoff with Kathy Hochul, is being marketed as a reluctant last resort. But for a mayor elected on affordability, threatening one of the broadest tax increases available to City Hall is not just ironic—it’s revealing. When the numbers got tight and Albany didn’t comply, Mamdani’s idiotic grand promises collided with fiscal gravity. And instead of rethinking the scale of the agenda, the answer was to reach for the biggest local tax lever available. Truly a courageous and brilliant new strategy from the left: raising taxes. How novel. This is not some clever new framework. Property taxes are the most predictable, blunt instrument in municipal finance. They are also uniquely capable of rippling through the housing market in exactly the way Mamdani claims to oppose. Owners of small apartment buildings do not absorb cost increases out of civic virtue. Co-op boards don’t shrug off higher levies as symbolic gestures. Costs get passed along where they can be. Where they can’t, maintenance gets deferred. Either way, renters feel it. It is a strange approach for a mayor who built his brand on a rent freeze. Even in regulated markets, rising operating costs create pressure. Insurance goes up. Taxes go up. Financing tightens. The idea that rents will somehow remain untouched while property taxes jump by nearly double digits requires a level of magical thinking that would make even this idiot’s campaign rally blush. And the politics are riskier than they appear. Many of the people who vote...

As agentic AI workflows multiply the cost and latency of long reasoning chains, a team from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Columbia University and TogetherAI has found a way to bake 3x throughput gains directly into a model's weights. Unlike speculative decoding, which requires a separate drafting model, this approach requires no additional infrastructure — just a single special token added to the model's existing architecture. The limits of next-token prediction Next-token prediction — generating text one token per forward pass — creates a throughput ceiling that becomes painfully expensive when models need to produce thousands of tokens. This bottleneck is especially problematic in reasoning models, which frequently generate thousands of “ chain of thought ” tokens before producing the final response, leading to a slow and expensive user experience. Multi-token prediction (MTP) offers an alternative training paradigm that allows a language model to produce multiple tokens simultaneously in a single forward pass. For example, the model can be trained to predict a block of tokens all at once instead of just the immediate next token. John Kirchenbauer, a doctorate candidate in computer science at the University of Maryland and co-author of the paper, told VentureBeat that as we move toward agentic workflows, the focus is shifting from overall throughput to single-user speed. "Today, with ultra-long thinking traces being the norm and agentic outer loops multiplying out those costs even further, latency is becoming as equally important a dimension of overall serving efficiency as gross tokens per second per hardware unit (tps/GPU)," Kirchenbauer said. He said that while standard batched next-token prediction is already optimal for overall throughput, the new approach "strive[s] to saturate the GPU with just a single user's query to decrease latency for that single user." Other methods exist, but they come with drawbacks. "It's worth notin...

EU says it will accept no increase in US tariffs after Supreme Court ruling: 'a deal is a deal' Reuters

RichLegg/E+ via Getty Images Thesis Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. ( TNDM ) beat out expectations in Q4 '25. GAAP EPS came in at -$0.01, which was actually $0.05 above the consensus. Elsewhere, revenue for the quarter hit $290.4 million, up about 2.8% year-over-year and $13.16 million ahead of forecasts. There were much stronger-than-expected sales in both the U.S. and international markets, with the market caution coming from a new pay-as-you-go model for customers. As for guidance , management is expecting revenue growth to stay modest in the mid to single digits as a result. I'll explain how this model works later on, but for now, I feel it could slow revenue recognition in the near term, but eventually, I see the upside here as smoother revenue recognition. Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. Impressive Q4 '25 Results Tandem delivered quite the strong finish to 2025. Earnings came last Friday, and the stock closed about 32% higher that day. I think investors were more impressed with the overall operational leverage rather than just top-line growth. 4Q25 recorded a record worldwide revenue figure at $290.4 million, with gross margins climbing to an impressive 58%. We can put this down to a much-improved manufacturing efficiency and an all-around better product mix. The company is also seeing some benefits from higher pump and supply volumes. The big news was a shift to positive operating income, at $8.3 million, and also positive free cash flow. Historically, we would have seen hefty investments in R&D and commercialization here. International growth also stood out, with sales up about 17% year-over-year in Q4 '25 and about 15% for FY25. This is a nice sign that the strategy of expanding outside the U.S. is gaining traction. As for product momentum, we saw the integration of its t:slim X2 pump with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor and also the much-anticipated launch of Android control for the Tandem Mobi system. Both of these have a lot of value in improving usability ...

Ukraine joining the European Union would give a “significant boost” to the bloc’s single market, according to Dutch Central Bank governor Olaf Sleijpen . Such a move would increase the EU’s population by 45 million people, Sleijpen said at the National Bank of Ukraine in Kyiv last week, according to a speech text published Monday. “For the EU, Ukraine would bring military capabilities and experience that would greatly help to strengthen Europe’s defenses,” he said. “For Ukraine, EU membership, and adopting the regulations, institutions and liberalization that come with it, would boost economic growth and prosperity.” Ukraine has been pursuing EU membership for some time, gaining candidate status in 2022 after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg earlier this month that Brussels is preparing a series of options to embed Ukraine’s membership in a future peace deal. Sleijpen and his Spanish peer José Luis Escrivá — along with Sleijpen’s predecessor Klaas Knot — visited their Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Pyshnyi in the war-torn country in a sign of solidarity. They aren’t the first to make such a trip: European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England chief Andrew Bailey both were there in June 2025 . It’s in “our own interest” to assist “Ukraine in opening the door to EU membership,” Sleijpen wrote on LinkedIn. Still, joining the bloc would “first and foremost” require peace, he said, adding that even then “it will not be an easy path” given the implications of the large size of the country for the EU budget and decision-making. “Ukrainian membership could act as a catalyst for change within the EU itself, a change that would be for the better,” he said. The Bank of Spain said in a separate statement that Escrivá and Pyshnyi signed a cooperation agreement on digital transformation, psychological support for those affected by the war, and work and study visits to Spain for employees of Ukraine’s ce...

Sean Gallup/Getty Images News Wells Fargo upgraded tech giant Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) over the weekend to "overweight" from a previous investment rating of "equal weight," citing its industry-leading capacity position to support internal efforts and monetization capabilities. The research firm believes the company has all the pieces necessary, namely customer data, distribution, and compute capacity, to be an AI winner. Wells Fargo noted that hyperscalers are facing a compute capacity shortage. However, they expect Google to have an advantage in the medium term as they forecast the tech giant to expand compute capacity to 35GW by 2028 from 15GW in 2025. They also expect Google's Gemini consumer subscription revenue business to exit 2027 at $12B ARR from $4B exiting 2025 and see upside options in the Apple Siri relationship, which will most likely contribute beyond 2027. GOOGL's price target was raised to $387 from $354, implying an upside of nearly 23%.
