Leaseholders criticise plan to reclaim funds spent on destroyed Spectrum Building in Dagenham UK politics live – latest updates People who lost their homes when a tower block in Dagenham burned down say they are being made to pay for the building’s fire safety works after the government demanded its money back. Former leaseholders of the Spectrum Building, a seven-storey block of flats which was demolished after a major fire in August 2024, said it was “absolutely outrageous” the Greater London Authority (GLA) was seeking to reclaim £6m for the safety works because the blaze meant they were never completed .

STORY: :: SpaceX Elon Musk’s SpaceX is aiming to file its initial public offering (IPO) as early as this week. That’s according to a report from The Information on Tuesday, citing a source. The report said those involved in IPO preparation expect the company could try to raise more than $75 billion. It would make it one of the largest IPOs in history. Reuters could not immediately verify the report, and the space company did not respond to a request for comment. The potential listing comes at a time of surging investor enthusiasm for the space sector. It’s driven by falling launch costs, expanding satellite networks and growing interest in data center infrastructure in orbit. :: Tesla A SpaceX listing could pull in retail investors of Tesla, also owned by Musk, as well as traditional space investors. :: SpaceX The move may unlock a new wave of capital into next-generation aerospace and space infrastructure companies. The company's IPO ambitions are also tied to its longer-term vision of building orbital infrastructure, including data centers in space, a concept gaining traction as AI demand grows. SpaceX, founded in 2002, is the largest private space company in the U.S. and has out-launched the rest of the world over the past two years. It’s become a bellwether for the commercial space industry.

Meta Platforms在新墨西哥州陪审团认定该公司违反了该州与平台儿童安全相关的消费者保护法后，被勒令支付3.75亿美元的民事罚款。 在为期六周的审判中，该州称Meta在Facebook、Instagram和WhatsApp的安全性方面撒谎，并助长了儿童贩卖活动。陪审团在不到一天的时间内认定该公司存在75，000项违规行为，并对每项违规处以5，000美元的罚款。 Meta将对此裁决提出上诉，称其已采取大量措施保护用户并对其行为保持透明。该公司表示，第一修正案和《第230条》保护其免受因用户生成内容而引发的诉讼。法院驳回了此类论点，并允许案件继续进行。 此案源于2023年的一次秘密行动，州调查人员以未成年人身份创建账户。成年人向这些账户发送色情信息和内容，这支持了平台未采取足够措施防止伤害的主张。 针对Meta的首个陪审团定罪，正值关于青少年心理健康和平台设计存在数千项指控之际。尽管该公司股价在盘后上涨0.8%，但法律阴影仍是隐忧。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Andrii Yalanskyi/iStock via Getty Images Investment Approach Fidelity® Select Consumer Discretionary Portfolio is a sector-based, equity-focused strategy that seeks to outperform its benchmark through active management. We believe that the market is inherently inefficient and often too short-term-focused, which affords opportunities to generate excess returns with fundamental research utilizing a long-term investment horizon. We prefer companies where business quality or forward prospects seem underappreciated by the market and focus on identifying attractive relative value, including considering opportunities created by temporary issues or turnarounds. Stock selection and idea generation come from bottom-up research that leverages Fidelity's deep and experienced global consumer team. We also consider attractive consumer stocks outside of the benchmark that offer the potential for favorable risk-adjusted returns. Position sizing is based on conviction in the fundamental thesis and assessment of risk/reward. Sector strategies could be used by investors as alternatives to individual stocks for either tactical- or strategic-allocation purposes.

The consumer discretionary industries can be significantly affected by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and spending, and changes in demographics and consumer tastes. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks.

primeimages/iStock via Getty Images Inflation worries have convinced markets that the odds are low for a cut in interest rates this year by the Federal Reserve. Rate hikes are still considered unlikely, but the possibility is back on the table, if only on the margins. The change in sentiment, courtesy of the war in Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring, is weighing on the bond market. The hope is that the conflict will soon end, allowing Middle East oil and gas exports to resume, and thereby tame inflation worries. At the moment, much of the fixed-income market is underwater this year, based on a set of ETFs through Tuesday’s close (Mar. 24). The upside outliers are limited to floating-rate investment-grade bonds ( FLRN ) and short-term Treasuries of the nominal and inflation-linked variety. The rest of the field has lost ground so far in 2026. The deepest year-to-date loss: long-term corporates ( VCLT ) via a 1.4% decline, substantially deeper than the 0.5% drop for the US investment-grade benchmark ( BND ). Relief in the form of rate cuts is now considered unlikely for the near term. The Fed funds futures market is pricing in essentially zero odds for easing through the October policy meeting, shifting to a slight chance for a cut in December. A hike is also given low odds, but futures aren’t fully discounting the possibility. For some analysts, the writing’s on the wall. “The market is saying that the Fed is done for the next year or two. We went from talking about how much the Fed is going to cut to how long the Fed is on hold for. The narrative has completely shifted in terms of what the Fed will do this year,” predicts Brij Khurana, a portfolio manager at Wellington Management. A possible joker in the deck is the policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury yield ( US2Y ), which has spiked higher in recent days. Trading just below 4.0% yesterday (Mar. 24), this proxy for rate expectations is now meaningfully above the median effective Fed funds rate (3.64%) for the f...
With the war in Iran pushing oil and gas prices higher, and the AI revolution contributing to higher electricity prices, alternative energy sources are looking pretty attractive right now.

With the war in Iran pushing oil and gas prices higher, and the AI revolution contributing to higher electricity prices, alternative energy sources are looking pretty attractive right now. Perhaps none are looking as attractive as nuclear power, which has the advantage of not requiring constant refueling from unpredictable suppliers and the ability to be built anywhere. Some nuclear stocks are still in the exciting start-up phase, and some have been around for decades. Here are the top three nuclear stocks to buy right now for investors who want to ride this exciting energy trend. Continue reading

Alex Cristi /iStock via Getty Images Right now, there is a lot of fear dominating in the stock market. We continue to get mixed signals and headlines about progress in ending the conflict in Iran, while the impact of sharply higher oil prices has already made shockwaves throughout a macroeconomy that is already bruised by high inflation. Meanwhile, investors maintain a wary eye on AI, still convinced that it's a net headwind rather than a tailwind to tech stocks. These are the moments, however, that intrepid investors can stand to gain the most in wading into the stock market, especially in individual tech stocks that have fallen sharply from recent highs. Braze, Inc. ( BRZE ) is a prime example here: the customer experience software company has shed roughly half of its value over the past year, though a much stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings print recently sent the stock soaring ~20%. Data by YCharts I last wrote a buy article on Braze in December, when the stock was trading at a whopping $36 per share. Needless to say, I did not predict the "SaaSpocalypse" that would overtake the stock market in early 2026. Though Braze has been a major decliner in my portfolio, when we take a fresh look at the stock today (as we should after such a massive valuation reset), we find very little to be concerned about; in fact, the company's growth execution helps to suggest that the company is a lot more AI-resistant than we may have thought. I am reiterating my buy rating here. Today, there are two major arguments against Braze that have driven massive pessimism against the stock. The first is that the company is in the least popular area of enterprise software: marketing software. As a reminder, Braze's core use case is to help brands automate customer engagement and omnichannel messaging, using customer data to help target for results. The issue against sales/marketing software companies is primarily macro-driven. Brands are investing less in growth and marketing when consumer ...
