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...

bymuratdeniz Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a two-day ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, after both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for a truce during the holiday. The Kremlin announced that the ceasefire will be effective from April 11, 4:00 pm Moscow time, until the end of the day on April 12. Russian troops have been instructed to cease combat activity on all fronts during this period and be prepared "to counter any provocation or other aggressive actions by the enemy," a statement from the Kremlin read. "People need an Easter without threats and real progress toward peace, and Russia has a chance not to return to strikes even after Easter," Zelenskyy posted on X. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian president called for the U.S. to reimpose sanctions on Russian oil as crude prices eased following the Iran ceasefire. Zelenskyy said the U.S. rolled back the sanctions to stabilize the global oil market, adding that now, "there are effectively no grounds left to ease sanctions pressure." "In my view, Russia played the Americans again – played the President of the United States," he later told Rai Radio 1 in an interview. "The Russians lied about the role their oil supplies played in keeping oil markets stable. If the U.S. reimposes sanctions, that would be fair." The U.S. 30-day waiver for sales of sanctioned Russian oil and petroleum products currently stranded at sea will expire on April 11.

Oil looks set to test levels seen at the height of the war in the Middle East if cargoes shipped through the Strait of Hormuz take until July to fully recover, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. At present, the market is pricing in a rapid resumption through the waterway, showing expectations for about half of normal flows being restored by May and a full resumption by June, analysts including Parsley Ong said in an April 10 note. However, “a more gradual resumption to 100% of pre-war levels by July might introduce $15-to-$20-a-barrel upside risk to prices,” they said. Both global benchmark Brent and West Texas Intermediate were just below the $100-a-barrel mark on Friday. From there, a $15-to-$20 rise would result in futures testing the crisis-era peaks near $120 seen in the middle of March. The war in the Middle East has resulted in the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz , and despite Iran and the US agreeing on a temporary ceasefire, hundreds of vessels remain trapped in the region responsible for about one-third of the world’s oil production . Washington and Tehran are expected to hold talks this weekend, with the status of the route a key focus for both sides. An estimated 346 energy-related vessels were still trapped inside the Persian Gulf as of April 9, of which 241 were laden, the analysts said. Between them, they carried 104 million barrels of crude and condensates, 1.3 million tons of liquefied natural gas and 5.5 million barrels of liquefied petroleum gas. With Iran to its north, the Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to global markets. The waterway is an essential passage for the energy market, handling about a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade in peacetime.
