undefined Surging exports of Chinese passenger vehicles in the first quarter of 2026 provided a crucial bright spot to the country’s automakers as domestic sales slumped amid waning subsidies and rising costs. The widening divergence underscores the growing reliance of Chinese car manufacturers on overseas markets to sustain growth, accelerating their push to localize production globally as domestic demand cools. China’s Auto Exports Continue to Surge Domestic retail sales of passenger cars dropped 17.4% year-on-year to about 4.2 million units in the first quarter, while exports soared 61.4% to about 1.8 million units, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
Despite a raft of absences, world champions have such depth they will begin the 2026 tournament as firm favourites If there isn’t a conspiracy theory out there about England having a factory that churns out world-class players then there should be.

Despite a raft of absences, world champions have such depth they will begin the 2026 tournament as firm favourites If there isn’t a conspiracy theory out there about England having a factory that churns out world-class players then there should be. The Red Roses squad will be without at least eight Rugby World Cup winners because of injury, pregnancies and retirements for the Women’s Six Nations but they are still overwhelming favourites for a grand slam. For others, a squad so depleted would throw their campaign into chaos, but not for England. Abby Dow has retired? The brilliant Claudia Moloney-MacDonald can be brought in. The captain, Zoe Stratford, is pregnant? World Rugby player of the year nominee Meg Jones steps up to take the armband. The seemingly endless conveyor belt of generational stars at England’s disposal is why they have been able to dominate the world stage for the past few years. That and bringing in full-time contracts before anyone else. Continue reading...
City Hall, Sheffield The masterful performer previews her allegorical new album about the ‘fight for democracy over tyranny’ amid a set full of immaculate musicianship Ahead of her 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, and on her first tour in three years, Tori Amos is navigating the brutal state of the world in a way only she knows how: by channelling Celtic gods and turning into a half-dragon,...
City Hall, Sheffield The masterful performer previews her allegorical new album about the ‘fight for democracy over tyranny’ amid a set full of immaculate musicianship Ahead of her 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, and on her first tour in three years, Tori Amos is navigating the brutal state of the world in a way only she knows how: by channelling Celtic gods and turning into a half-dragon, half-woman character. The allegorical tales that make up her forthcoming record – “a metaphorical story about the fight for democracy over tyranny” – are evident on the early outing and live debut of Shush. A dark, doomy, track that slowly unfurls like a southern gothic tale, albeit one about battling an evil billionaire lizard demon husband. It’s big, dramatic, world-building stuff. But it’s also emblematic of Amos’s knack for delivering complex, weighty subject matter with deftness and fluidity. However, this is not a run through of her as-yet-unreleased album. Instead, Amos dives deep into her vast and sprawling back catalogue, from the delicate deep cut Ruby Through the Looking-Glass to the atmospheric, slow-burn jazzy grooves of Little Amsterdam.

With the Nasdaq Composite recently hitting correction territory, many investors fear that we will enter a full-blown bear market relatively soon. These worries are somewhat justified. While some experts warn that the odds of a recession are rising, we are still dealing with trade wars, serious geopolitical tensions, and oil prices that have risen significantly in recent weeks.

With the Nasdaq Composite recently hitting correction territory, many investors fear that we will enter a full-blown bear market relatively soon. These worries are somewhat justified. While some experts warn that the odds of a recession are rising, we are still dealing with trade wars, serious geopolitical tensions, and oil prices that have risen significantly in recent weeks. None of this guarantees a market crash, but no one should be too surprised if one occurs eventually, later this year or perhaps in 2027. And if there is one on the way, it will be time to go shopping: A bear market is arguably one of the best times to invest in stocks, since equities always recover. With that said, here are two healthcare stocks I'd buy without hesitation if we enter a bear market: Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE: BDX) and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) .

alexsl/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images OpenAI ( OPENAI ) told investors this week that its early efforts to increase computing resources give it a vital advantage over rival Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), Bloomberg News reported. OpenAI said it has outpaced Anthropic by “rapidly and consistently” adding computing capacity to support wider adoption of its software, the report added , citing a note the company sent to some of its investors after Anthropic announced a more powerful AI model called Mythos . Anthropic and OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha. The ambitious infrastructure build-out, criticized by some as expensive, has enabled OpenAI to better keep pace with the growing demand for AI products, the memo noted. "That gap matters because compute is now a product constraint,” said the ChatGPT maker in the note, according to the report. In its note, OpenAI cited a report from analyst Ben Thompson, who authors the Stratechery blog, indicating that computing constraints may have impacted Anthropic’s decision to limit the release of Mythos to select partners, the report noted. OpenAI said it had 1.9 gigawatts, or GW, of computing capacity available in 2025, triple from the year prior. Microsoft ( MSFT )-backed OpenAI expects that amount to increase to the "low-double-digit range" next year and reach around 30 GW by 2030. By comparison, OpenAI estimates Anthropic ended 2025 with 1.4 GW and will have between 7 GW and 8 GW of capacity next year, the report added. “Even at the high end of that range, our ramp is materially ahead and widening,” said OpenAI in the note. Anthropic has been increasing investments in physical infrastructure for its AI services, including a pledge to spend $50B to build data centers in the U.S. Earlier this week, Anthropic announced a deal with Google and Broadcom ( AVGO ) for multiple GW of next-generation TPU capacity starting in 2027. In all, reportedly, the deal would give Anthropic access to close t...
