St Helens 34-24 Wigan On-loan hooker scores twice in last 10 minutes The derby rarely fails to disappoint, but just when you think this 130-year-old rivalry cannot get any more unbelievable, this happens. The scoreline looks unremarkable, but that tells only a fraction of the story of the 367th meeting between St Helens and Wigan. The pre-match talk was not who would win, it was how many Wigan...
St Helens 34-24 Wigan On-loan hooker scores twice in last 10 minutes The derby rarely fails to disappoint, but just when you think this 130-year-old rivalry cannot get any more unbelievable, this happens. The scoreline looks unremarkable, but that tells only a fraction of the story of the 367th meeting between St Helens and Wigan. The pre-match talk was not who would win, it was how many Wigan, the league leaders going into the Easter programme, would win by. Saints, humiliated 52-10 at Hull KR last week, were without a dozen first-team regulars, many of them starters. They soon lost a 13th when prop Agnatius Paasi limped off after four minutes.

Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have triggered a surge in oil prices, stoking fears of an inflation spike that could derail the U.S. economy. The last time inflation suddenly skyrocketed was in 2022, and it forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates so fast that the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index plunged by more than 20%, entering a bear market.

Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have triggered a surge in oil prices, stoking fears of an inflation spike that could derail the U.S. economy. The last time inflation suddenly skyrocketed was in 2022, and it forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates so fast that the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index plunged by more than 20%, entering a bear market. The Fed has cut interest rates six times since September 2024, and Wall Street entered 2026 expecting further rate cuts. But rising oil prices and other economic indicators have forced analysts to adjust their forecasts, and the possibility of a future interest rate hike was recently on the table, which is one reason why the S&P 500 fell roughly 9% last month from its recent all-time high (it has partially recovered since the drop). Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made a series of public remarks at Harvard University on March 30 that eased concerns about a potential rate increase; here's why that's great news for the stock market.

PM gets widespread backing after president’s mocking impersonation takes US-UK relationship to new low Keir Starmer has been warned his relationship with Donald Trump may be beyond repair after the US president derided the prime minister for consulting his team about military decisions, in a mocking impersonation. In a new low for UK-US relations, Trump appeared to imitate Starmer in a weak voice during an Easter lunch speech at the White House and said the UK was “not our best” as an ally. Continue reading...

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell addresses students at Harvard University, Monday, March 30, 2026, in Cambridge, Mass. Charles Krupa | AP A U.S. judge on Friday stood by his prior decision to block subpoenas issued in a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, setting up a likely appeal that could further delay President Donald Trump's move to install a more compliant central bank head. Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, of the District of Columbia, rejected the Justice Department's bid to reconsider his earlier ruling, which had effectively halted the criminal probe into Powell. Boasberg in a March 13 ruling determined that subpoenas to the Fed's Board of Governors in January were issued for the improper purpose of pressuring Powell to accede to Trump's demands to rapidly lower interest rates or resign. The subpoenas, issued by Washington D.C.'s top federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro, a stalwart Trump ally, sought information about cost overruns in renovations at the Fed's headquarters and Powell's testimony to Congress last year about the project. The ruling is Powell's latest victory in his battle with Pirro's office about the investigation, which he has called a pretext for Trump to gain more influence over the Fed and monetary policy. Pirro has vowed to continue the probe and said her office is prepared to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Justice Department leadership has backed the decision to appeal, according to a source familiar with the matter. The appeal could delay confirmation of Kevin Warsh, Trump's pick to succeed Powell as Fed chair. Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican member of the Senate Banking Committee who has criticized the probe into Powell, has vowed to continue blocking Warsh's nomination while any appeal plays out. Powell has pledged not to leave the central bank until the probe is over. Prosecutors have said they are investigating Powell for potential fraud charges and false statements...
