格隆汇2月12日｜荷兰合作银行策略师简·弗利指出，日本首相高市早苗已承诺推行负责任的财政政策，日本央行亦有可能进一步加息，日元应随之走强。弗利表示，高市在近期提前大选中获胜，这使她得以从主要反对党更为宽松的财政立场所引发的竞选辩论中抽身。“另一个令人安心的因素是日本庞大的国内储蓄。”随著日本央行年内或将进一步加息，弗利预计美元兑日元将在12个月内从当前的153.23跌至145关口。

New proposals that would force poorly paid migrant workers to wait longer for earned settlement are nothing more than an assault on working-class people Andrea Egan is the general secretary of Unison Billionaires and politicians fan the flames of hate, but without migrant workers, Britain would grind to a halt. That’s especially true when it comes to health and social care: more than a fifth of the NHS workforce is made up of migrant staff. The same proportion of care workers nationally are migrants, rising to half in London . Yet these workers, many of whom are members of Unison, have increasingly become a punchbag for politicians. In particular, they have become a scapegoat for this Labour government, which has sunk to a new low with its proposals on earned settlement . These changes could see low-paid public sector workers, including carers, forced to wait 15 years before being granted indefinite leave to remain, instead of the five years they were promised before they made the decision to come here. These changes would entrench and worsen the environment of fear and exploitation that defines the current system. Andrea Egan is the general secretary of Unison Continue reading...

Bull Case for Micron Stock (MU) Predicts 20%+ Upside in 2026 TipRanks

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investing Environment US equity markets continued to advance in Q4 2025, despite bouts of volatility. Early in the quarter, a government shutdown unsettled investors as delays in key economic data releases complicated the market's ability to assess underlying growth and inflation trends, raising doubts about the timing and durability of further Federal Reserve easing. As the quarter progressed, however, risk appetite improved alongside greater clarity around monetary policy. The Fed implemented additional rate cuts and formally concluded quantitative tightening, reinforcing expectations that financial conditions would continue to ease into 2026. Markets also digested a shifting policy backdrop on trade as court challenges renewed uncertainty around the scope and durability of existing tariffs. While these developments created episodic volatility, they did little to derail broader equity momentum. Enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI) remained a central driver of performance, though investor focus began shifting from early-stage adoption narratives toward questions of monetization, competitive intensity and the sustainability of elevated capital spending. Taken together, supportive monetary policy, resilient corporate earnings and continued optimism around long-term technological innovation outweighed macro and policy-related doubts, allowing US equities to finish the quarter higher. While AI remains a central theme, markets broadened in November, with value and non-AI stocks leading the way. We would welcome if this marked a shift in market leadership going forward. Accommodative monetary policy and anticipated fiscal stimulus in 2026 from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which should support overall economic and earnings growth, fueled expectations for broadening equity participation beyond AI investment beneficiaries. Additionally, hyperscalers' rising capital intensity challenged one of the market's core growth assum...

John Moore/Getty Images News Shares of companies tied to U.S. immigration enforcement are under pressure as renewed criticism of White House deportation policies rattles investors and clouds federal funding prospects, Bloomberg News reported Thursday. Stocks of private prison operators such as Geo Group ( GEO ) and CoreCivic ( CXW ), along with government services firms including CACI International ( CACI ), Booz Allen Hamilton ( BAH ) and Leidos Holdings ( LDOS ), have swung sharply in recent weeks. The volatility intensified after the killing of a second U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by federal agents sparked broader opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. On Wednesday, congressional Democrats threatened to block a Department of Homeland Security funding measure unless immigration enforcement policies are revised. The standoff raises the risk of a partial government shutdown as soon as Saturday. While existing contracts would not be directly canceled, the political fight has injected uncertainty into revenue streams that investors once viewed as stable. Private prison operators have felt the brunt of the selloff. Geo Group ( GEO ), a major contractor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has seen its shares fall sharply from last year’s highs. The company has said that nearly half of its 2025 revenue came from ICE. CoreCivic ( CXW ) reported $244.7 million in fourth-quarter revenue from ICE out of $604 million total. Technology and consulting firms with large DHS exposure have also weakened. The Treasury Department recently canceled certain Booz Allen contracts ( BAH ), and weaker results from peers have compounded investor concerns. According to Bloomberg Government data, DHS spending commitments since fiscal 2022 total $3.31 billion for CACI ( CACI ), $2.78 billion for Leidos ( LDOS ) and $1.76 billion for Booz Allen ( BAH ). Some analysts argue the longer-term picture may be more constructive. Jefferies analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu said last su...

N Rotteveel/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Standard Chartered has slashed its year-end bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) price forecast by a third, citing deteriorating macro conditions and the likelihood of further investor capitulation in the coming months. The bank now expects bitcoin to finish 2026 at $100,000, down from its previous projection of $150,000. More concerning for crypto investors, Standard Chartered warned that bitcoin could drop to or just below $50,000 before recovering later in the year. The downgrade came as bitcoin has already suffered a significant correction, falling 50% from its October 2025 all-time high at its worst close on February 5. According to the bank’s analysis, only 50% of bitcoin supply is currently in profit—a sharp decline but not as extreme as previous market cycles. Standard Chartered pointed to unsupportive macro conditions as a key headwind. Recent U.S. economic data suggests mixed economic strength at a time when the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut rates. Markets see potential for this to change only after Fed Chair Powell is replaced by Kevin Warsh, whose first FOMC meeting as chair is scheduled for June 17. The bank estimated that bitcoin ETF holdings have fallen by almost 100,000 bitcoins from their October 2025 peak. With the average ETF purchase price around $90,000, many ETF holders are now sitting on sharp unrealized losses, making further capitulation more likely than new buyers stepping in soon. Despite the near-term pessimism, Standard Chartered maintained its constructive long-term view, noting that usage data continues to improve and the current sell-off has not triggered the collapse of any digital asset platforms—unlike the 2022 downturn that saw Terra/Luna and FTX implode. The firm also said it expects Ethereum to bottom out at around USD 1,400.

Renault SA ’s Alpine sports brand will focus on Formula 1 and exit the World Endurance Championship at the end of 2026, after the French car manufacturer said it would rein in costs. Alpine, best known for its A110 sports coupé, has introduced two new electric models since 2024 as part of an ambitious growth plan, but the brand has been impacted by slower-than-expected electric-vehicle demand and failures in Formula 1, leading to spiraling expenses. Renault’s new Chief Executive Officer Francois Provost , who took the helm in July, is trimming costs as part of a broader overhaul as he seeks to stem the brand’s losses and make Alpine profitable. “We have had to take hard decisions to protect the long-term ambitions of Alpine,” the brand’s CEO, Philippe Krief , said in a statement on Thursday. Read More: Aston Martin F1 Team Owner Plays Down Hype Before New Season His predecessor, CEO Luca de Meo , who now runs Gucci owner Kering SA , sought to raise Alpine’s profile via a rebranding of the Formula 1 team and investments in the high-profile championships. The Formula 1 efforts and endurance races such as Le Mans were a key plank of his ambitious strategy for the brand. Formula 1 changed its rules this year, with Alpine now using engines from Mercedes.Renault pledged to retain talent at its Viry-Chatillon site, which manufactures Alpine’s Formula 1 engines, and put in place an employment protection plan to support employees in their future career options. Alpine’s Formula 1 team ended last year’s Formula 1 championship as last out of ten in the F1 Constructor Standings with only 22 points. The team had finished fourth in the Formula 1 standings in 2022, which had initially helped boost the brand’s visibility and sales. In 2023, Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds and AC Milan owner RedBird Capital Partners took a stake that valued the business at $900 million.

scyther5/iStock via Getty Images Investment thesis Coeur Mining ( CDE ) is one of the most interesting companies in the gold mining sector for me, which is expected to grow rapidly in 2026 due to the successful completion of the acquisition of New Gold ( NGD ). Earlier, my preference was for the latter asset, considering that CDE was overbought and overvalued. Nevertheless, to date, the situation has changed, since the acquisition of NGD's assets can significantly improve the economic efficiency of the company's operations and increase its financial results. I will review 10 key factors that suggest CDE's stock will grow in 2026. Due to these factors, my recommendation is upgraded from "Buy" to "Strong Buy." Factor #1: Acquisition of New Gold assets In November 2025, Coeur Mining announced the purchase of New Gold for $7 billion (a 16% premium to NGD's share price), thereby creating a company that will rank among the top ten largest mining companies in terms of precious metal production. By 2026, it's expected to generate $3 billion in EBITDA and $2 billion in free cash flow. With the scale of the combined company, they'll be able to produce 1.25 million ounces of gold equivalent in the first year. One benefit of scaling up operations like this is that it makes it easier to attract bigger institutional investors and index funds. Financial flows will also get a boost from stable production at NGD's mines (Rainy River and New Afton), which will keep risks low and boost geographic synergies. Moreover, through the acquisition of NGD's assets, namely the New Afton mine, the shareholders of CDE gain the opportunity to invest in copper production. Predictions of a potential copper shortage due to the "green transition" add value to this metal in the product portfolio. Factor #2: Asset portfolio diversification Before the NGD deal, the Coeur Mining portfolio included five fully explored deposits, among them the Las Chispas and Palmarico silver-gold mines in Mexico, the Roch...

Ferrari NV has shed its last remaining sell rating after better-than-expected results this week led one of the supercar stock’s biggest bears reluctantly to concede defeat. Citigroup Inc. upgraded its recommendation on the stock to hold from sell, a view it had maintained for almost two years . Ferrari shares jumped 10% on Tuesday as quarterly earnings, 2026 targets and a gradual ramp-up of F80 deliveries reassured some investors disappointed by a long-term outlook the company gave in October. The stock was up again Thursday. “While we see further issues ahead, the short thesis may have played out for now,” Citi analyst Harald Hendrikse wrote in a note on Thursday. “We could see investors coming back to the name for a period of time.” Despite the upgrade, Citi is not convinced Ferrari’s outlook has materially improved. Hendrikse wrote that this week’s earnings report was “highly unusual” because it beat forecasts the company had “just guided lower” in a call with analysts in January. Ferrari may have decided to accelerate deliveries of the F80 in the last quarter of 2025 and through 2026 to boost margins at the risk of slower growth thereafter, he added. “It is hard to know what has changed since January,” Hendrikse wrote. “Ferrari management is protecting FY26 earnings to support the shares,” he said. Read more: Ferrari’s Confident Outlook Eases Fears Over Supercar Demand (3) Ferrari said it was focused on the strength of its product mix, and it did not provide volume data for individual models. “Ferrari has always stated that it plans deliveries and controls the product mix also with a view to achieving its controlled growth objectives,” a company spokesperson told Bloomberg. According to analysts at Bernstein and Citi, Ferrari had suggested 2026 margins might slip slightly during last month’s call with analysts. In a note dated Jan. 8, Bernstein analysts led by Stephen Reitman wrote that Ferrari saw its margin potentially impacted by the stronger dollar and new m...

Benzinga Money is a reader-supported publication. We may earn a commission from the advertisers associated with this article. Read our Advertiser Discloser . The most valuable companies in entertainment are rarely built on technology alone. They’re built on ownership of globally recognized character IP. That principle has defined the rise of companies like Disney and Marvel—where control of characters, not just content production, enabled decades of recurring revenue across media, consumer products, and licensing. It’s also the strategy behind Elf Labs , a privately held IP company that has spent more than a decade securing rights to some of the most recognizable characters in history. After recently reserving its Nasdaq ticker ($ELFS) and reporting valuation growth exceeding 1,600% in under two years , Elf Labs is beginning to draw increased attention from investors tracking pre-IPO investment opportunities usually reserved for elite venture capital firms. A Decade Spent Securing Character IP Rather than starting with content and building brands later, Elf Labs focused first on legal ownership. Over a ten-year effort, the company secured 500+ protected trademarks and copyrights tied to globally recognized characters, including Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, and others. This foundation gives Elf Labs the ability to license, adapt, and commercialize its characters across global markets—without relying on third-party rights holders. That strategy has already produced results. Elf Labs has generated more than $15 million in royalties to date and expanded its licensing footprint into 30+ countries , with over 100 product lines currently in development across consumer goods, media, and interactive formats. While major studios spend billions consol...
