Gold and silver prices have plunged, as a “meltdown” in the metals market deepened and rattled stock exchanges around the world. Gold prices tumbled by 8% to $4,465 an ounce on Monday, ending a run of record highs that took it to nearly $5,600 just last week, before recovering some ground. Silver fell by 7%, after a 30% slump on Friday. Both metals had hit successive highs in recent weeks, as investors sought safe haven assets amid rising geopolitical tensions and fears around the independence of the US Federal Reserve. Donald Trump triggered the sell-off on Friday, after he said he would nominate Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor and respected central banker, to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve. Warsh will succeed Jerome Powell when his term ends in May, if confirmed by the Senate. Trump said on Friday that he had not asked Warsh to commit to rate cuts. Susannah Streeter, of the broker Wealth Club, said the metals sell-off reflected relief that a “Trump cheerleader” would not be installed at the central bank. “Now financial industry heavyweight Kevin Warsh has been anointed as successor, with deep Fed experience, he’s not expected to be a pushover and that’s sparked this big reversal of safe-haven positions,” she said. Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone, described Friday’s sell-off as a “meltdown in the metals space”. View image in fullscreen Kevin Warsh. Photograph: Brendan McDermid/Reuters The price of industrial metals, which had swept up in the metals rally, also dropped on Monday, with platinum and copper down 10% and 9%, respectively. The sell-off reverberated across global stock markets too. Futures tracking America’s S&P 500 and the Nasdaq pointed to a loss of 0.9% and 1.2%. In the UK, the blue-chip FTSE 100 index slipped by 0.4% in early trading, led by losses in precious metal miners Endeavour Mining, Fresnillo and Antofagasta, which all fell by more than 5% early on. The pan-European STOXX 600 index slipped by 0.4%. Meanwhi...

Egypt’s new administrative capital got its first international flight connection, a boost for the ambitious megaproject that seeks to ease pressure on congested historic Cairo. Air Cairo began scheduled flights from the Capital International Airport to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Sunday, according to a statement from the Aviation Ministry. The low-cost carrier will operate six services per week to the Red Sea city. The flights are the latest bid to increase access to the showpiece New Administrative Capital, which has been taking shape about 30 miles east of historic Cairo since 2015. Under a three-phase project, a 700 square-kilometer (270 square-mile) swath of desert — roughly equal to the size of Singapore — is being turned into a modern hub for government buildings, embassies and major companies. It also boasts Africa’s tallest tower. A monorail will eventually link it to downtown Cairo and across the Nile River to Giza.

Greater Cairo is Africa’s largest city, home to more than 20 million people. The country attracted a record 19 million tourist arrivals last year, second only to Morocco on the continent.

GPU-as-a-Service is "a sizable revenue opportunity," but the firm's work suggests the buildout will push Oracle EPS below targets and drive materially higher funding needs, the analyst says. The firm struggles to see a viable path to Oracle's EPS targets, which is a view factored into the current share price and reduced price target, the analyst tells investors.

The REIT is off to a great start in 2026. I made three bold predictions for Realty Income (O +1.07%) earlier this month.

The REIT is off to a great start in 2026. I made three bold predictions for Realty Income (O +1.07%) earlier this month. One of those was that the real estate investment trust (REIT) would continue its international expansion in the new year. It didn't take long for this prediction to come true, as it announced its first investment in Mexico a week later. Here's a recap of that prediction and two more things I still see ahead for the REIT this year. Prediction fulfilled On Jan. 12, Realty Income announced the establishment of a strategic relationship with GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. The partnership initially entails: The formation of a joint venture to invest over $1.5 billion in build-to-suit logistics real estate. GIC is becoming a cornerstone investor in Realty Income's U.S. Core Plus fund. Construction financing and takeout purchase commitment of a $200 million industrial portfolio in Mexico by Realty Income, representing the REIT's first investment in the country. I had predicted that Realty Income would continue its international expansion this year, with growth in the Americas region outside the U.S. among my likely guesses. I also thought the REIT might expand internationally through a partnership, which is exactly what happened. While Realty Income has already expanded into one new country this year, I don't think it will be the last. It doesn't own any properties in Canada and is only in eight European countries. I wouldn't be surprised to see it expand into additional countries over the next year. Expand NYSE : O Realty Income Today's Change ( 1.07 %) $ 0.65 Current Price $ 61.16 Key Data Points Market Cap $56B Day's Range $ 60.40 - $ 61.23 52wk Range $ 50.71 - $ 61.95 Volume 19K Avg Vol 6.4M Gross Margin 48.14 % Dividend Yield 5.71 % 2 more to go Additional international expansion isn't the only thing I see ahead for the REIT this year. I also expect it to continue adding new property verticals to its portfolio. It has grown from a focus on U...
