The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index is gaining 36.50 points or 0.44 percent to 8,415.90, after touching a high of 8,446.80 earlier. The broader All Ordinaries Index is up 44.60 points or 0.52 percent to 8,673.00. Australian stocks closed sharply lower on Monday.

Key Points IYK charges a higher expense ratio but offers a slightly higher dividend yield than VDC. VDC holds nearly double the number of stocks and has greater assets under management. IYK’s portfolio tilts more toward healthcare and basic materials, while VDC is almost entirely consumer defensive. 10 stocks we like better than iShares Trust - iShares U.s. Consumer Staples ETF › The iShares US Consumer Staples ETF (NYSEMKT:IYK) and the Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (NYSEMKT:VDC) both target the U.S. consumer staples sector, aiming to give investors exposure to companies providing essential goods. This comparison digs into cost, performance, risk, holdings, and structure to help clarify which ETF may appeal more to different types of investors. Snapshot (cost & size) Metric VDC IYK Issuer Vanguard iShares Expense ratio 0.09% 0.38% 1-yr return (as of Feb. 9, 2026) 9.06% 12.48% Dividend yield 2.10% 2.57% AUM $9 billion $1.2 billion Beta (5Y monthly) 0.64 0.52 IYK charges a higher fee than VDC, making VDC more affordable for cost-conscious investors. However, IYK offers a higher dividend yield, which may appeal to those seeking more income from their holdings. Performance & risk comparison Metric VDC IYK Max drawdown (5 y) -16.56% -15.04% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $1,374 $1,231 What's inside IYK tracks U.S. consumer staples stocks but blends in more healthcare (11%) and basic materials (2%) names than many peers. With just 54 holdings, its top positions include Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and Philip Morris International. This approach could offer slightly more diversification, though it means less pure-play exposure to staples. The fund has no notable structural quirks or special features. VDC, in contrast, is almost entirely invested in consumer defensive companies (98%), with minimal exposure to other sectors. Its portfolio spans 104 stocks, headlined by Walmart, Costco Wholesale, and Procter & Gamble. This makes VDC a more concentrated option for those specific...

Key Points After reaching an all-time high in July of last year, it's been downhill ever since for XRP. The cryptocurrency has been falling at a much faster rate than Bitcoin over the past several months. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › The crypto markets have been in rough shape in recent months, with no clearer example of that than the performance of XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies in the world. It's taken just half a year for digital currency to lose more than half of its value. On Monday, it was trading at less than $1.50. The last time it was trading far lower than that was before the presidential election back in 2024. At that time, however, the cryptocurrency was surging in value rather than plummeting. There was plenty of excitement in the crypto world, which now appears to have faded. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » But with XRP's potential to transform global finance, could now be a great time to add this leading cryptocurrency to your portfolio? A steep fall since July In July of last year, XRP was rising sharply and reached an all-time high of $3.65. It was rallying for months as the excitement from President Trump's 2024 election win fueled expectations of broad crypto reform, lifting XRP and other cryptocurrencies in the process. And the Securities and Exchange Commission was also in the midst of settling its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP. As a result, investor sentiment was high. Since then, however, there has been a fairly persistent decline in value for XRP that has spanned several months. There hasn't been one major catalyst or sell-off that has been responsible for the cryptocurrency's decline, and it's instead been a gradual decline in value. Even the recent approval of spot XRP exchange-traded funds hasn't been enough of a reason to spark a rally in the cr...

At a ceremony in January, a shiny black luxury sedan rolled into the leafy, rain-soaked ground of Fiji’s state house. It was a gift from China to the Pacific nation’s president, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, who thanked Beijing for the “beautiful limousine”. The vehicle given was a Hongqi or “Red Flag” car, the same brand used by China’s leader, Xi Jinping, during military parades. It is an example of China’s “prestige diplomacy”, says Yun Sun, director of the China Program at the US-based Stimson Center. “This is more symbolic than substantive,” Sun says. “It’s part of China’s aid program that aims to build good personal relationships with leaders.” Across the Pacific, countries have long used vehicles – from ambulances and police trucks to school buses – as a diplomatic tool. But as strategic competition in the region intensifies, these donations have become visible markers of rival efforts to court Pacific governments and solidify partnerships. In a region where geographic isolation and high import costs drive up the price of new vehicles, foreign-donated cars – often delivered at the donor’s expense – are highly prized by Pacific governments. Australia, the US, New Zealand and Japan are among the other nations that have donated vehicles in the Pacific. China has given luxury cars, alongside more practical fleets, to countries in the region. As early as 2013, China donated luxury vehicles to Fiji’s leaders, and regularly delivers cars to host nations during the Pacific Islands Forum, the region’s main leaders’ gathering.

Photograph: Fiji Government/Facebook Over the past decade, China has been steadily expanding its diplomatic, economic and political footprint across the Pacific, courting governments with infrastructure projects, development aid and high-profile gifts. One objective is to persuade Pacific nations to cut ties with Taiwan and...
