格隆汇3月7日｜标普全球：非洲保险公司受中东战争影响较小。

(RTTNews) - Despite opening on a steady note, the major European markets closed weak on Friday amid worries about the economic impact of the ongoing Middle East war, which entered its seventh day. The mood turned cautious around late morning and then stayed that way till the end of the day's session. Markets opened higher amid signs of stabilization in the oil market after the United States gave India a waiver to buy Russian oil for 30 days as the Middle East conflict impacts global energy supply. The Trump administration's move on emergency measures, including state insurance guarantees for tankers and naval escort to counter rising energy prices, and reports that the White House was discussing the possibility of a large-scale release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in coordination with IEA partners aided sentiment at the start. However, stocks turned direction around noon or a little past noon, as worries about the impact of the Middle East conflict rendered the mood cautious. Weak U.S. jobs data also contributed to the change in mood. The pan European Stoxx 600 fell 1.02%. The UK's FTSE 100 ended down by 1.24%, Germany's DAX drifted down 0.94% and France's CAC 40 settled lower by 0.65%. Switzerland's SMI lost 1.52%. The FTSE 100, DAX and CAC 40 shed about 5.5%, 7% and 5%, respectively in the week. Among other markets in Europe, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Türkiye closed with sharp to moderate losses today. Ireland and Portugal moved modestly higher, while Norway ended flat. In the UK market, Kingfisher, Anglo American Plc, Airtel Africa, Pershing Square Holdings, Marks & Spencer, Spirax Group, Antofagasta, Barclays and Berkeley Group Holdings lost 3%-5.1%. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Prudential, Weir Group, Aviva, HSBC Holdings, Croda International, Glencore, Segro, British American Tobacco, Standard Chartered, Unilever, IAG, HSBC Holdings, Reckitt Bencki...

Meta's Ray-Ban AI smart glasses have been at the center of many privacy concerns since their release, particularly as the data the glasses are capable of capturing can be sent back to Meta for training purposes. In a joint report, Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten spoke to workers of Sama, a Kenya-based subcontractor that is claimed to provide human-led data annotation for video and audio captured by the Ray-Ban Meta glasses (via Ars Technica). According to the authors, several of the workers they spoke to reported seeing extremely private footage, and that wearers of the glasses may be unaware their private lives are being recorded for human review. "We see everything—from living rooms to naked bodies. Meta has that type of content in its databases", said one of the workers. "Someone may have been walking around with the glasses, or happened to be wearing them, and then the person’s partner was in the bathroom, or they had just come out naked. "People can record themselves in the wrong way and not even know what they are recording. They are real people like you and me." (Image credit: Meta) When asked if the employee felt like they were looking straight into other people's private lives, they said: "When you see these videos, it feels that way. But since it is a job, you have to do it. You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work. "You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone."

J. David Ake | Getty Images News | Getty Images A series of policy changes in the so-called " big beautiful bill " are undermining the Affordable Care Act marketplace, in ways that may at first seem relatively subtle but which add up to a major change, health policy experts say. That, in turn, has important implications for consumers and the broader health care system for years to come, they said. The law — a multitrillion-dollar package that the Republican-led Congress passed in July — contains a series of administrative measures that make it harder or more expensive for many people to sign up for health insurance on the ACA marketplace, experts said. Those policies concerning the marketplace would add about 3 million people to the ranks of the uninsured over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated in September. Among them: ending automatic insurance renewals, removing certain financial protections for lower earners, tweaking annual enrollment periods, and barring many immigrants in the country legally from signing up for ACA marketplace insurance or accessing financial aid. watch now VIDEO 5:04 05:04 Americans drop health care insurance coverage as premiums surge Markets and Politics Digital Original Video However, the administrative maneuvers — many of which are technical in nature and, on their face, may not seem consequential — have largely gone unnoticed by the public, experts said. "A lot of things that are happening are kind of under the radar," said Jonathan Oberlander, a professor at the University of North Carolina and an expert in health-care politics and policy. "I'd describe the strategy as one of partial stealth," he said. Other parts of the law — like more than $1 trillion of cuts to Medicaid , the public health program for lower earners — have garnered the bulk of public attention, experts said.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) dipped about 2% on Friday morning as investors weighed fresh commentary on the company's energy business and broader demand tied to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence data centers. The move followed a report from William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer, who reviewed global data-center construction trends and said demand for new facilities remains elevated. His tracking database shows more than 2,100 planned or announced projects, up about eight percent from the prior month, with total capacity in the pipeline estimated at roughly 174 gigawatts. Growing artificial-intelligence infrastructure could translate into rising electricity demand, creating opportunities for companies involved in energy storage and power generation. Dorsheimer highlighted Tesla's Megapack battery systems, which help utilities manage power demand spikes and provide backup electricity for large facilities such as data centers. The analyst estimated Tesla's energy segment could be worth roughly $31 per share, or about $120 billion. Even so, he maintained a Hold rating on the stock, indicating expectations that shares may track broader market performance rather than outperform in the near term.

Elon Musk's xAI has lost its bid for a preliminary injunction that would have temporarily blocked California from enforcing a law that requires AI firms to publicly share information about their training data. xAI had tried to argue that California's Assembly Bill 2013 (AB 2013) forced AI firms to disclose carefully guarded trade secrets. The law requires AI developers whose models are accessible in the state to clearly explain which dataset sources were used to train models, when the data was collected, if the collection is ongoing, and whether the datasets include any data protected by copyrights, trademarks, or patents. Disclosures would also clarify whether companies licensed or purchased training data and whether the training data included any personal information. It would also help consumers assess how much synthetic data was used to train the model, which could serve as a measure of quality. Read full article Comments

Key Points The new senior tax deduction is worth up to $6,000 per qualifying individual. This will give the average senior an extra $670 in after-tax income. Some seniors will not qualify for this deduction. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › If you're 65 or older, you could have a bigger tax refund coming your way this year thanks to the new senior deduction. Not everyone will qualify, but those who do will pay taxes on $6,000 less this year ($12,000 for married couples), and that could result in significant savings. While the exact amount you'll save will vary based on your income and which other deductions you qualify for, we already have a rough idea of what kind of difference this new senior tax deduction will have on the average person's retirement taxes. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » How much savings will the new senior tax deduction bring? The new $6,000 senior tax deduction will give the average qualifying senior an extra $670 in after-tax income, according to a June 2025 report from the Council of Economic Advisors. Married couples where both spouses qualify for the deduction will wind up with twice as much -- $1,340. Keep in mind, this deduction stacks on top of the standard deduction for your tax filing status and the additional standard deduction for seniors. For the 2025 tax year, the latter is worth $2,000 for single adults or $1,600 per married senior. Together with any other tax deductions and credits you qualify for, this could exempt a significant portion of your annual income from taxation. That, in turn, could lead to a smaller tax bill or a larger refund for you. But it's difficult to say exactly what kind of savings the new deduction will give you, specifically, without filing your return. Your accountant or tax filing sof...

"Most Dangerous Geopolitical Blitz Since Bretton Woods": Trump Says Cuba's Communist Regime Is Next To Fall " We've got plenty of time, but Cuba's ready ," President Trump told CNN in an interview on Friday morning.

He said he's going to "put Marco over there" and "we've got plenty of time, but Cuba's ready." — Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) March 6, 2026 The Trump administration has communicated for months about toppling the Communist regime in Havana as power blackouts across the Caribbean island nation worsen this week.

April WTI crude oil (CLJ26) today is up +7.44 (+9.18%), and April RBOB gasoline (RBJ26) is up +0.0148 (+0.55%). Crude oil and gasoline prices are extending this week’s sharp rally, with crude soaring to a 2.25-year nearest-futures high and gasoline posting a 1.75-year high. The ongoing war in the Middle East entered its seventh day today with no sign of resolution. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, halting most energy shipments from the Persian Gulf. Don’t Miss a Day: Gains in crude accelerated today after Qatar’s energy minister told the Financial Times that the war in the Middle East could “bring down the economies of the world,” and predicted that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks, driving crude oil prices to $150 a barrel. Comments from President Trump today also boosted crude prices when he said the US doesn’t want to negotiate an end to the war with Iran, and that “there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender,” fueling concerns the US may be girding for an extended conflict. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has halted most energy shipments from the Persian Gulf and is bullish for energy prices. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned ships not to sail through the passageway, saying that vessels “could be at risk from missiles or rogue drones.” The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a fifth of the world’s oil, has forced Gulf producers unable to export their oil to stockpile the crude in storage tanks. Iraq and Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s largest producers, have curbed crude production as the halt to their exports is filling up their oil storage facilities. Goldman Sachs estimates the real-time risk premium for crude oil at $18/bbl, corresponding to its estimate of the impact of a six-week full halt to tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Also, damage from an intercepted Iranian drone caused a major fire on Tuesday at the United Arab Emirates’ major oil-trading hub, Fujairah, one of the...
