Manchester City’s week is moving along sweetly, this win closing the gap to three points to Arsenal, who travel to Brentford on Thursday. On Sunday, they beat Liverpool at Anfield, on Wednesday they downed Fulham at home, to reel off a 20th consecutive victory against them. The rosiest moment for the title challengers was Erling Haaland’s 39th‑minute strike, a first in the competition from open play in nine games, though Pep Guardiola will be concerned at how City still grasp for supreme control. Haaland was removed at the break – maybe due to being hurt – so this is a concern, but a clean sheet plus scoring three times raises the goal difference to +30, two behind Arsenal. Who knows: the metric may prove the decider when the crown is handed out in May. You had to go back to April 2009 for the last time Fulham defeated City when a Clint Dempsey double helped them to secure a 3-1 win here. Since then, the aggregate score was 53‑21 to the home team – a terrible statistic for the visitors. Guardiola, then, in saying nice things pre-game about Marco Silva, could be read as patronising, though he has been in charge only since July 2021. Phil Foden, back in the league XI for the first time in five games, had a goalbound volley from outside the area deflected, Then, from inside the area, a shot that was saved low by Bernd Leno. In continual rain, Silva bemoaned Harry Wilson going backwards along the right, but a press featuring Antoine Semenyo, Haaland, Nico O’Reilly, Foden and Rodri meant scant other choice. Guardiola approved of this, but was less enamoured with two loose O’Reilly passes and one from Foden: each time attacking positions were spurned, and when Alex Iwobi ran through and shot for Fulham the wastefulness felt worse.

Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images Instagram chief Adam Mosseri said Wednesday during testimony in a high-profile social media trial that he thinks there can be problematic usage of social media, but does not think it constitutes an addiction. "I'm sure I said this, but I think it's important to differentiate between clinical addiction and problematic use," said Mosseri, who noted several times that he is not a medical professional. Mosseri said that sometimes the use of the word addiction can refer to something more casually, and noted that while he may have once said he was addicted to a Netflix show, that's not an actual clinical addiction. "So it's a personal thing, but yeah, I do think it's possible to use Instagram more than you feel good about," Mosseri said. "Too much is relative, it's personal." Mosseri testified in Los Angeles Superior Court, where the plaintiff alleges that social media platforms Meta , YouTube, TikTok and Snap misled the public about the safety of their apps while knowing certain design choices and features fostered detrimental mental health effects in young users. Although TikTok and Snap were originally part of the case, the two companies are no longer involved after settling with a plaintiff involved in the lawsuit. "The question for the jury in Los Angeles is whether Instagram was a substantial factor in the plaintiff's mental health struggles," a Meta spokesperson said. The LA trial centers around a plaintiff listed as "KGM" and her mother, who allege that the tech companies designed features like infinite scroll that resulted in addictive behavior and negative mental health issues. "The evidence will show she faced many significant, difficult challenges well before she ever used social media," the Meta spokesperson said in a statement. Mark Lanier, the plaintif...

Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson missed out on becoming the first British figure skaters in 32 years to win an Olympic medal, as they failed to make the ice dance podium at Milan-Cortina 2026. Fear tripped on the second element of their free-dance routine, and despite skating cleanly for the remainder it proved too much of an obstacle to overcome. After an embrace on the ice, Fear and Gibson left the rink to applause from the large British presence in the crowd. Fear was visibly upset as the scores came in to confirm they would not claim a place on the podium. It means the wait goes on for British skating since Dame Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean won bronze at the Lillehammer Games in 1994. And it continues Team GB's disappointing Games so far, with no medals won yet.

Earnings Call Insights: Royalty Pharma (RPRX) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Pablo Legorreta stated that "2025 was truly a landmark year for Royalty Pharma as we executed successfully towards our goal to be the premier capital allocator in life sciences with consistent compounding growth." He highlighted strong double-digit growth in both portfolio receipts and royalty receipts and noted that full year results were delivered "slightly above the top end of our most recent update." Legorreta pointed to a 15.8% return on invested capital and a 22.8% return on invested equity for the year. Legorreta announced that Royalty Pharma completed the internalization of its external manager, resulting in improved alignment, governance, and "a significant reduction in costs." He noted capital deployment of $2.6 billion, $4.7 billion in announced transactions, and $1.7 billion returned to shareholders via $1.2 billion in buybacks and over $500 million in dividends, including a 7% dividend increase in Q1 2026. Legorreta referenced several positive clinical and regulatory updates, including FDA approval of Myqorzo and positive Phase III results for Tremfya, TEV-749, deucrictibant, and Trodelvy. He emphasized the company's underappreciated development-stage pipeline and expected "multiple pivotal readouts in the relatively near future." Vice Chairman Christopher Hite explained that "2025 was our strongest year ever for synthetic royalty transactions with 4 synthetic deals totaling more than $2 billion," and noted a record market value for synthetic royalties. Hite highlighted increased Board and C-suite interest in synthetic royalties as a funding modality and said, "we are optimally positioned to benefit from this important paradigm shift." Executive VP of Research & Investments Marshall Urist detailed capital deployment of close to $900 million in Q4 and total annual deployment of $2.6 billion, with 67% of investments in approved products and 33% in development-stage therapies.

The technology sector's slack start to 2026 is a good news/bad news proposition. Investors may view the technology sector as sprawling, and they wouldn't be entirely off-base. The Technology Select Sector index, which houses the S&P 500's tech components, includes 70 stocks from seven industries. As a result, tech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can also deliver disparate performances, and what's playing out in the early stages of 2026 is a reminder of that fact. For example, the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 is off 2% this year. A 2% dip in less than two months is enough for many investors to endure, but some tech ETFs are the worse for wear. Much, much worse. That's the negative news. On the positive side of things, tech weakness is creating buying opportunities for discerning investors, meaning there are some ETFs out there that merit buying hand over fist. Dark clouds hang over this ETF Investors who devoted just a few minutes to market headlines in recent weeks likely know that software stocks are being drubbed. As of Feb. 6, software equities shed a combined $1 trillion in market value amid fears that emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools are making some software programs obsolete. Cloud computing stocks are enduring their share of punishment, and that brings us to the $2.47 billion First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY 2.34%). Some of the ETF's holdings, Adobe and Salesforce among them, are front and center on the theme of AI agents disrupting the software space. This ETF presents investors with a potential dilemma. On one hand, it's undoubtedly home to some quality stocks, and there's even a belief in some corners of the AI world that software equities have fallen too far, too fast.

(RTTNews) - Albemarle Corporation (ALB) on Wednesday reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $414.2 million or $3.87 per share, compared to net income of $75.3 million or $0.29 per share last year. Adjusted loss per share for the quarter was $0.53, compared to $1.09 per share last year. Net sales for the quarter were $1.428 billion, compared to $1.232 billion last year. Separately, the company said it will idle the remaining operating train, Train 1, at its Kemerton lithium hydroxide processing plant in Western Australia and place it into care and maintenance effective immediately. The announcement follows actions in 2024 to place Train 2 into care and maintenance and to cease expansion plans for Trains 3 and 4. The Kemerton plant processes spodumene from the Greenbushes mine, one of the world's best spodumene resources. Albemarle holds ownership interest and half of the offtake rights from Greenbushes through an Australian joint venture. Kemerton, with its proven technology and commercial scale lithium hydroxide production, was built to enable the development of a Western lithium supply chain. The decision is expected to be accretive to adjusted EBITDA beginning in the second quarter of 2026 with no impact to projected 2026 volumes. Albemarle will meet customer demand for lithium hydroxide through other production channels.

The United States and China are poised to extend the trade truce they negotiated in South Korea by up to a year when President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping are expected to meet in Beijing in early April, according to several people familiar with the discussions. The uneasy truce , struck last October after a bilateral meeting between the two leaders in Busan, rolled back tariffs and export controls after months of spiralling tensions marked by triple-digit “retaliatory” levies and Beijing’s sweeping boycott of US agricultural goods for much of 2025. Since the reprieve, China has resumed purchases of American soybeans, a politically sensitive crop in the US. Extending the informal months-long understanding, a step seen by officials as realistic and achievable, would anchor the summit around short-term economic wins, including fresh Chinese purchase commitments, the sources said. Advertisement Trump is pressing for tangible deliverables ahead of November’s midterm elections amid mounting concerns about maintaining his congressional majority. After his nearly two-hour-long call with Xi last week, Trump shared that Beijing was considering buying more soybeans from the US. Trump is expected to travel to China in early April, according to four people familiar with the plans. An initial arrival date under consideration was March 31, leading to a bilateral meeting with Xi in the first week of April as part of a visit lasting about three days, two of the people said. 08:58 What are rare earths, and why is China’s dominance facing global pushback What are rare earths, and why is China’s dominance facing global pushback
