Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) speaks to members of the media outside the Senate Chamber after passing a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill by unanimous consent at the U.S. Capitol Building on April 2, 2026 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | Getty Images The Senate on Thursday advanced a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security — including the Transportation Security Administration — taking a step toward ending the shutdown that had disrupted air travel for much of the last month. The legislation passed in a pro forma session — a brief meeting of either congressional chamber where legislative business typically does not take place — as lawmakers are out of town on a two-week recess. The House, which met in its own pro forma session later Thursday morning, did not take up the measure, meaning the partial government shutdown will likely extend through the weekend. The House is next due to meet April 6 in a pro forma session, and neither chamber is scheduled to return in full until the week of April 13, following a two-week recess. Democrats have refused to fund DHS since February unless changes are made to its immigration enforcement practices. In January, federal agents killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis as part of a federal immigration surge, sparking months of negotiations over the future of the agency. Meanwhile, pressure has mounted on lawmakers to reach a deal as unpaid TSA agents missed work and quit in large numbers, causing long security lines at airports. The Senate bill advanced on Thursday would fund DHS except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection, though both of those sub-agencies have funds available from the 2025 Republican tax and spending package .

RHJ/iStock via Getty Images Wheaton Precious Metals ( WPM ) said late Wednesday it agreed to acquire a portion of gold and silver produced by a subsidiary of KGL Resources ( KOGMF ) at the Jervois project in Australia's Northern Territory in a deal that includes $275M in cash up front. Wheaton ( WPM ) said the partnership is based on estimates indicating that ~92K gold oz and 9.2M silver oz have been either proven or are probable to be at the project's site. The company said it forecasts the Jervois project to have a lifespan of 10 years, although further exploration may extend the mine's longevity, with the first production from the project expected in next year's H2. Wheaton ( WPM ) currently expects production to average 5,800 oz/year of gold and 770K oz/year of silver in the first five years of production. Wheaton ( WPM ) also said it completed the previously announced silver stream transaction with BHP ( BHP ) for the Antamina mine in Peru. Under the deal terms, BHP ( BHP ) has received $4.3B in upfront consideration from Wheaton ( WPM ) and will be paid additional ongoing production transfer payments; in return, BHP will supply Wheaton with 33.75% of silver produced at Antamina, to be reduced to 22.5% when 100M oz have been delivered.

We Are Global investors are reducing active risk and moving to neutral positioning as ongoing geopolitical uncertainty continues to unsettle markets, according to Fidelity International’s George Efstathopoulos in a recent CNBC interview. The shift comes as hopes for de-escalation have given way to prolonged instability, prompting a more cautious approach to portfolio management. “When you have binary outcomes, what probably one should do is reduce active risk, turn more neutral, and wait for that uncertainty to subside to some extent,” Efstathopoulos explained during the interview. Before the current conflict, market conditions had been favorable for risk-taking, with expectations of Federal Reserve easing, global fiscal stimulus, and strong capital expenditure spending in AI and related sectors. Efstathopoulos noted that portfolios have been adjusted by raising cash levels and reducing exposure to oil-dependent sectors. However, selective opportunities remain in areas less susceptible to energy price volatility, particularly those with their own idiosyncratic growth stories. Energy security has emerged as a key investment theme, with oil-importing countries now reassessing their energy diversification strategies. “If you’re sitting at the government of an energy-importing country, probably you’re thinking, how can I diversify my resources, my energy inputs, in the next few years?” the expert observed. China stands out as a model of resilience due to its strategic energy diversification over the past decade. “China has been very strategic and has managed to diversify its energy inputs,” Efstathopoulos said, pointing to investments in coal and green energy as key factors. This positioning has translated into relative outperformance, with Chinese equities, currency, and export data all showing strength compared to broader emerging markets. Looking ahead, China could benefit further as other nations seek to replicate its energy transition success. The country’s leading...
