Senegal raised 721 billion CFA francs ($1.3 billion) using derivatives to secure cheaper foreign-currency loans last year at a time when worries about its debt effectively closed international market access. The West African nation conducted seven so-called total return swap transactions with lenders, including Africa Finance Corp. , Société Générale SA and First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC between April and November, Finance Minister Cheikh Diba told reporters in Dakar, the capital on Thursday. The deal cost about 7% compared with the 11–12% seen on international markets, he said. Both the International Monetary Fund and Bank of America Global Research have raised concerns about Senegal’s borrowings, with BoA warning it may need to restructure its debts in the second half of 2026 or face a rising risk of default absent external finance. “Senegal is not at risk of default,” Diba said. “With limited room to maneuver on international markets, we turned to the regional market to cover a good part of our financing needs, mobilizing foreign capital in a way that strengthened our liquidity and reassured investors.” President Bassirou Diomaye Faye ’s administration turned to derivatives, which were also used by Angola, after its finances got strained following the discovery in 2024 of $7 billion in previously undisclosed debt. The revelation prompted the International Monetary Fund to suspend a $1.8 billion facility, triggering a bond selloff and shutting Senegal out of global capital markets. Despite the swaps — similar derivative instruments led to the collapse of Archegos Capital Management LP in 2021 — investor concerns persist. The premium investors demand over US Treasuries to hold Senegal debt is more than 1,000 basis points — a threshold typically viewed as signaling distress — after climbing late last year ahead of a Eurobond payment falling due this month.

Republican Lawmakers Led By Nancy Mace Begin To Break With Trump On Iran War: 'We Were Misled' Republican lawmakers are belatedly starting to wake up to the potential for the United States to once again get bogged down in yet another Middle East quagmire, but this time with a country double the size of Iraq (both in geography and population). GOP Rep. Nancy Mace has led the charge this week, blasting any potential Trump admin move to put American boots on the ground, warning she will vehemently oppose new war funding if American troops are deployed in Iran. "I'll be voting against the funding if we're putting troops on the ground," Mace told a reporter outside the Capitol earlier in the week. "I'm not going to fund that." Mace: I’ll be voting against the funding if we’re putting troops on the ground. I’m not going to fund that—no U.S. troops. pic.twitter.com/qLDbT0OrvA — Acyn (@Acyn) March 24, 2026 The comments came after the Pentagon days prior unveiled a massive $200 billion supplemental request in order to fund the war, which was at first previewed by White House officials as lasting a mere 'days' or a few 'weeks' and not months (or years). Mace soon followed her verbal comments with a Tuesday post on X pushing back against getting sucked into a ground war. "If a single boot of a single American soldier sets foot on Iranian soil, I will vote against this," Mace wrote. "I will not vote to fund sending South Carolina's sons and daughters to die in a ground war in Iran." War Secretary Pete Hegseth had framed the supplemental request as essential given it "takes money to kill the bad guys" - as he said, echoing a view that President Trump has been supportive of while claiming "we won". Axios is newly reporting on Thursday that Mace is not going to back down if another War Powers resolution is pushed before the House : Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told Axios she will "most likely" vote for House Democrats' resolution to constrain President Trump from waging war with Iran ...

Earnings Call Insights: Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (LUCD) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Lishan Aklog reported that "our EsoGuard test volume in the fourth quarter was 3,664. That exceeds our target range that we've articulated regularly of approximately 2,500 to 3,000 tests per quarter, and that represents a 29% increase from the third quarter of 2025." He stated, "revenue came in at $1.5 million for the fourth quarter. That's a 24% increase from the third quarter of 2025." Aklog highlighted the award of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract for EsoGuard at the Medicare rate, calling it "a great accomplishment" and emphasizing the VA's large addressable market of 9 million veterans. Aklog noted positive data from a real-world study of nearly 12,000 patients, citing "excellent technical performance, rapid cell collection times...95% of procedures were completed in under 2 minutes." He described the study as confirming "the scalability and the viability of EsoGuard on sample collected with EsoCheck." Aklog said, "we remain really highly confident" about upcoming Medicare coverage, referencing continued positive engagement with MolDX and commercial payers, including UnitedHealthcare and Cigna, as well as progress with laboratory benefit managers (LBMs) and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Aklog explained resource reallocation to focus on VA and Medicare, stating, "we're not increasing our resources because we're very cognizant of our cash burn and our OpEx right now, but we are reallocating resources to make sure we're taking advantage of the opportunity with the VA." Aklog stated, "as we move into 2026, our focus is on converting the lessons that we've learned, converting our ability to generate that demand into revenue and the focus is on the VA and Medicare."

富时中国A50指数期货收跌0.08%，报14503点。

美國傳媒報道，伊朗認為美國代表，包括特使威特科夫向德黑蘭「背後捅刀」，並傾向跟副總統萬斯談判。有輿論指，萬斯曾反對向伊朗開戰，但他要向總統特朗普表現忠誠，陷入兩難局面。 美國中東問題特使威特科夫與美國總統特朗普的女婿庫什納上月26日曾在瑞士日內瓦，會晤斡旋美國及伊朗談判的阿曼外交大臣巴德爾。 巴德爾較早前亦會晤伊朗外長阿拉格齊，談及伊朗對核問題，以及被美國制裁的看法。 到了上月28日，伊朗多個地區包括首都德黑蘭遭美國及以色列聯手打擊，當時特朗普宣稱要摧毀伊朗的導彈設施，阻止對方取得核武。同日美軍以戰斧導彈攻擊伊朗南部米納卜，導致一間女子學校被炸毀，逾160名師生被殺。包括伊朗時任最高領袖哈梅內伊、多名官員在空襲中被殺，伊朗亦發射導彈及無人機攻擊以色列多個城市及中東地區的美國軍事基地， 英國《每日電訊報》，日前引述海灣國家消息人士報道，伊朗當局拒絕跟威特科夫與庫什納談判，原因是伊朗上月底跟美國間接談判期間，遭美以兩國聯手打擊。報道指，德黑蘭政府對威特科夫及庫什納失去信任，指責他們趁談判期間向伊朗「背後捅刀」。 美國有線新聞網絡報道，伊朗透過非正式渠道向美國表明，不願再跟威特科夫及庫什納談判。伊朗傾向跟美國副總統萬斯接觸，相信他有意結束戰事。美國有線新聞網絡早前指出自美以兩國打擊伊朗以來，萬斯避免向傳媒及公眾談及對伊朗戰事的個人看法，亦以不想坐監為理由，拒絕透露美軍行動細節。 報道提到2023年萬斯曾撰寫文章，指特朗普是成功總統，原因之一是他避免捲入戰爭。到了2024年，萬斯又稱美國跟伊朗開戰將會分散資源，不符合美國利益。 《華盛頓郵報》上周報道萬斯陷入兩難局面，若他為了向特朗普表現忠誠而支持開戰，可能要付出政治代價，例如影響他在2028年爭取共和黨總統候選人提名，他目前未有表態會否參選。

Earnings Call Insights: Commercial Metals Company (CMC) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Peter Matt stated that "the CMC team delivered another excellent financial performance this quarter, propelled by solid operational and commercial execution, a favorable market backdrop in most regions and the addition of our newly acquired precast platform." He highlighted net earnings of $93 million or $0.83 per diluted share, with adjusted earnings at $130.1 million or $1.16 per diluted share. Matt pointed to a 114% year-over-year increase in consolidated core EBITDA to $297.5 million and a core EBITDA margin of 14%. He emphasized that results were "impacted by abnormally disruptive weather conditions that temporarily reduced production and increased energy costs," but credited the company's strategic moves, including the launch of the TAG program and the establishment of the precast platform, for driving improvement. Matt shared that the integration of the CP&P and Foley acquisitions was "on schedule," with early wins on the commercial front and a unified go-to-market strategy being implemented. Matt reported that CMC is "confident we should reach or exceed our ambitious goal of exiting the fiscal year at an annualized run rate EBITDA benefit of $150 million" from TAG initiatives, with these benefits expanding across all business lines. CFO Paul Lawrence stated, "we reported fiscal second quarter 2026 net earnings of $93 million or $0.83 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $25.5 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year period." Lawrence explained that adjusted earnings for the quarter totaled $130.1 million or $1.16 per diluted share, with consolidated core EBITDA of $297.5 million and a 14% core EBITDA margin. He highlighted the Construction Solutions Group's net sales of $314.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $53.4 million, with the precast businesses contributing $33.6 million to segment adjusted EBITDA.

Wall Street has a very short memory. That's both good and bad, since remembering the emotional and financial pain of deep bear markets would likely keep most people from ever investing again. But forgetting history means you are doomed to repeat it. With technology stocks losing so much value so far in 2026, a little historical review can help you decide if it's time to jump into tech stocks or not. More than 25 years ago, a revolutionary technology was set to change the world: the internet. That sounds silly today, given how ubiquitous the internet is now. However, if you are old enough, you remember a time when finding information meant a trip to the library and opening a physical book. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

A new petition, filed on Thursday before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleges that El Salvador violated the human rights of these men, who were expelled to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) last year without charge.

magical_light/iStock via Getty Images On the surface, dividend investing looks very simple: simply buy a diversified portfolio of stocks that pay attractive dividends and then sit back, relax, and let the dividends flow. However, the reality is that dividend investing is not that simple, as there are many hidden landmines that can quickly destroy your passive income stream and your wealth if you are not careful. In this article, I am going to detail five lessons that completely reshaped how I approach dividend investing. Today, with dividend stocks staging a comeback, as evidenced by the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF's ( SCHD ) significant outperformance year to date relative to tech stocks ( XLK ) like Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Palantir ( PLTR ), and valuations remaining frothy for the broader S&P 500 ( SPY ) while remaining attractive for many high-yielding dividend stocks across the MLP ( AMLP ), REIT ( VNQ ), BDC ( BIZD ), industrial ( XLI ), consumer ( XLP ), and asset manager ( BX ) sectors, I believe a new golden age of dividend investing may very well be upon us. Thus, I think that these lessons are more important than ever. Data by YCharts Lesson 1: High Yield Is A Warning Label, Not An Objective Probably the biggest lesson that dividend investors should keep in mind is that a high yield is a warning label rather than simply a buy signal. Sure, the higher the yield, the better, all else being equal, and, to be clear, my portfolio typically yields between 7% and 8%. However, whenever I see a stock yielding in the high single digits or low double digits, I immediately view that as presenting both opportunity and a major warning sign, unless the business model is typically priced at a very high yield due to low growth prospects. Thus, I do find occasional mispriced opportunities like these to seize upon, and I'll use extra selectivity when I come across these, because generally, in the market, a yield that high means that they are signaling concern about the di...
