US spy-tech company to challenge London mayor’s intervention after he raised concerns over breach of procurement rules Palantir intends to sue the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, after he blocked a contract between the US spy-tech firm and the Metropolitan police. The Met had planned to use Palantir’s software to automate intelligence analysis in criminal investigations, until Khan intervened in late May, sparking a row between the UK’s largest police force and the mayor’s office .

gettinthere/iStock via Getty Images Energy Transfer ( ET ) is a midstream master limited partnership that operates a network of hydrocarbon pipelines, storage facilities, natural gas processing plants, and fractionation facilities throughout the central and eastern parts of the continental United States. Energy Transfer even has a few offshore pipelines that allow it to provide midstream services to offshore energy projects operating in the Gulf. Overall, the company is one of the largest midstream companies in the United States. Midstream companies have historically been fairly popular investments among investors in search of income due to their very high yields and relatively stable cash flows that are well-insulated against both inflation and fluctuations in crude oil prices. Energy Transfer is no exception to this, as the company’s common units pay a 6.88% yield at the current price. This is, admittedly, a lower yield than the company has had on average over most of the past few years, which is mostly because the company’s unit price went up in response to the surge in crude oil prices over the past three months. A surge in oil prices does not necessarily increase the company’s cash flows, though, so the increase in the unit price might have actually weakened the investment proposition and made the company less attractive for new investors. Let us take a closer look at it and attempt to determine what the best action to take with respect to this company is today. Summary of Past Discussion The last time that we discussed Energy Transfer here at Seeking Alpha was on February 19, 2026. The company's unit price is up about 2.59% since that time: Seeking Alpha However, we can see that there were times in May when the company's unit price was up a lot more. For example, over the period from February 19, 2026, through May 19, 2026, the company's unit price was up 7.88%. The timing coincides with an increase in the company's adjusted EBITDA guidance that came about on ...
Friday’s technology-driven selloff was a “wake-up call” for investors, according to Wells Fargo & Co. , which said it has highlighted the risks of piling into the artificial-intelligence trade. As a result, analyst Ohsung Kwon said the “sugar rush” behind the recent stock surge is likely over, leaving him “unenthused” with equities.

Friday’s technology-driven selloff was a “wake-up call” for investors, according to Wells Fargo & Co. , which said it has highlighted the risks of piling into the artificial-intelligence trade. As a result, analyst Ohsung Kwon said the “sugar rush” behind the recent stock surge is likely over, leaving him “unenthused” with equities. Even so, in his view, the selloff — which saw the Nasdaq 100 Index and S&P 500 Index both plunge — was positioning-led rather than fundamental and likely will mean a slower rally, not the start of a sustained retreat. “With the war still going on and Hyperscalers raising capital to fund capex, we believe the narrow ‘buy semis’ trade will return,” Kwon wrote in a note to clients on Monday. “But the ‘sugar high’ rally is now likely over, and we expect the speed of rally to slow. Own AI, sell calls.” Kwon’s comments echo other strategists who have seen the recent pullback — which rekindled on Tuesday — as a warning sign. JPMorgan Chase & Co. cut their near-term view to “tactically cautious,” noting investors may continue selling some of the AI-related companies that lead the recent rally. Meanwhile, Bank of America Corp. warned investors to exercise caution as an increasing number of “bear market signposts” point to an approaching top. On Tuesday, tech stocks dragged the market lower again, with the Nasdaq 100 slumping about 2%. For Kwon, the stock market still has room to run. But the long-time AI bull said it is crucial for traders to understand what the risks are going forward, given several bear cases that could derail an advance. One of the major risks is whether the flood of debt-fueled spending on AI will stall if the big tech companies don’t start seeing an adequate return on their investments. “Supply chain inflation means they’ll have to pass through elevated costs to AI labs to maintain their ROI at a time when end users are questioning their return on AI usage,” Kwon wrote. Another relates to supply and demand. While the latter ...

Researchers have analyzed a high-severity vulnerability in Linux that’s able to escalate untrusted users to root by exploiting a bug you don't often see: a single errant character inside the kernel. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-23111 , is located in nf_tables, a subsystem of the Linux kernel that provides packet filtering capabilities. It’s used to manage firewall rules and replaces older subsystems such as iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables. !!!WTF!!! The presence of a single mis-issued exclamation point in code implementing nf_tables introduced a use-after-free, a class of vulnerability that corrupts memory by placing malicious code at memory addresses that haven’t been properly freed of their previous contents. CVE-2026-23111 can be exploited by an unprivileged user or process to elevate system rights to root. Read full article Comments

Announcing the proposals on Tuesday, the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, said: “We propose for the first time to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in the Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war. So Europe stays off limit for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine, as simple as that.” Continue reading...

Magnetar Capital , the $18 billion hedge fund firm, will shun human analysts for its newest offering and instead deploy hundreds of AI bots to research stocks. The firm’s AI technology seeks to replicate the depth of research and analysis usually provided by fleets of humans, according to people familiar with the matter, who declined to be identified because the information is confidential. The bots will scour the investing universe for ideas, analyze stocks, make recommendations and forecast trends, the people said. Humans will make the final decision on any trades. The vehicle, which is expected to launch later this year, is the latest example of how the hedge fund industry is rushing to leverage AI technology to enhance, or replace, human talent. Traditionally, new funds debut with teams of analysts to dig into bottom-up research. By contrast, at Magnetar, humans will largely focus on the fund’s AI infrastructure. A representative for Magnetar declined to comment. The move follows a similar initiative earlier this year by former Coatue Management portfolio manager Rahul Kishore , who debuted a fund run by three humans and an AI bot named Eve. Still, the verdict appears to be out on whether AI can achieve one of the most elusive goals in finance: beating the market. In recent contests involving eight major frontier AI systems, most lost money. Meet Eve, the AI Brain Behind an Ex-Coatue Trader’s New Fund ‘VikingGPT’ Helps Hedge Fund Giant Wrestle With Trade Ideas Fleet of AI Bots Will Supercharge Hedge Fund Power, Nettimi Says Magnetar Starts First-Ever Venture Fund, Targets Generative AI Magnetar’s new fund is the brainchild of Trevor Mottl , the firm’s head of AI Quant, who built its infrastructure. The fund will make more bullish bets than bearish ones and will focus on buy-and-hold positions, the people said. A smaller sleeve of the portfolio will seek to find market signals milliseconds faster than peers. The AI technology will allow the fund to greatly ramp u...

The U.S. headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) hit 3.8% in April 2026, its highest reading since May 2023. Energy costs are up 17.9% year over year. The driver is the U.S.-Iran conflict, which sent Brent crude prices from around $61 at the beginning of the year to well above $100 by spring. Core CPI has also started climbing along with energy. It's up 2.8% year over year, which suggests that inflation is spreading. If inflation stays elevated because energy prices remain elevated, two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are built for exactly that environment: the Vanguard Energy ETF (NYSEMKT: VDE) and the SPDR Gold MiniShares ETF (NYSEMKT: GLDM) .
