Hundreds of early career researchers have warned that the UK will lose a generation of scientists after the announcement of significant cuts to physics projects and cutting edge research facilities. Scientists working in particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics have been told their grants will be cut by nearly a third, with project leaders asked to report back on how their research would fare with cuts up to 60%. At the same time, the UK has shelved plans for four large infrastructure projects to save more than £250m. The projects include an upgrade to a detector on the Large Hadron Collider at Cern near Geneva, and an electron-ion collider under development with researchers in the US. While the cost overruns are driven by facilities, the cuts are landing on physics grants as the science funding body UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) seeks to “do fewer things better” and prioritise applied research over more fundamental science. In an open letter to Prof Ian Chapman, chief executive of UKRI, more than 500 researchers write: “The present combination of uncertainty, delay and re-prioritisation in early-career pathways risks the loss of a generation from the UK research and industrial ecosystem.” Dr Simon Williams, a 29-year-old postdoc at Durham University, studies quantum computing applications in theoretical physics and is looking for a second postdoc position. “The only options I’ve realistically had are overseas,” he said. “As things stand, it is increasingly likely that I will take up a position in Germany rather than remain in the UK. There are simply far more viable and stable opportunities abroad.” Dr Claire Rigouzzo, a 26-year-old researcher at King’s College London, has accepted a post in Europe after finding nothing in the UK. Early career scientists face one of the harshest job markets in years, she said, but the knock-on effects are broader. Senior academics are worried because they cannot attract the best researchers, she said. “Even students can ...

The company has said it plans to start an exploration and appraisal campaign for three wells at the Mopane discovery in 2026. Last week, TotalEnergies ( TTE ) CEO Patrick Pouyanne met with Namibia's president and Galp's chairman to discuss the next steps in developing oil and gas assets in the country. Petrobras ( PBR ) CEO Magda Chambriard told Reuters last year that the company would seek to make Africa its main region of development outside Brazil as it looks to boost reserves, citing countries such as Namibia, Angola and Nigeria.

The benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was last +1.2% in late morning trade, while the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) was +1%, and the Dow ( DJI ) was +1.6% after momentarily hitting a new intraday high. Amazon ( AMZN ) shares were -8.4% regardless of its successful Q4 earnings results , showing beats on revenue and $200B in 2026 capex. Analysts on Wall Street defended the company’s theses even after shares were sinking. Other tech names lagging on Friday include Microchip Technology ( MCHP ), Uber Technologies ( UBER ), Alphabet ( GOOGL ), and Meta ( META ). “Tech is no longer 'one big bet.' That's good news, because it stops tech stocks 'correlating to 1' on the downside. But it also makes it much harder for the tech sector to outperform the market. Time to rotate into other sectors, if you haven't already,” said Dhaval Joshi, chief strategist at BCA Research Counterpoint.

Astera Labs recently announced major enhancements to its Scorpio X-Series for AI infrastructure and hyperscale data centers, while investors await the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report scheduled for February 10, 2026. The product refresh, which adds higher radix support, in-network computing, hypercast technology, and optical connectivity tailored to individual hyperscalers, underscores Astera Labs’ focus on reducing integration barriers for complex AI workloads. With these Scorpio X-Series upgrades in focus, we will examine how this news shapes Astera Labs’ broader investment narrative. Capitalize on the AI infrastructure supercycle with our selection of the 33 best 'picks and shovels' of the AI gold rush converting record-breaking demand into massive cash flow. What Is Astera Labs' Investment Narrative? To own Astera Labs today, you have to believe in its role as a core enabler of AI infrastructure, not just another chip name. The latest Scorpio X-Series upgrade, with higher radix, in-network computing and hyperscaler-specific features, reinforces that thesis by tightening its ties to large cloud customers and broadening use cases across complex, multi-rack AI deployments. In the near term, though, the key catalysts still sit around the February 10 earnings release: how Q4 revenue lands versus the US$245 million to US$253 million guidance range, any updates to AI infrastructure demand, and comments on spending patterns from hyperscale customers. With the stock pulling back recently despite strong past 1‑year returns and trading on a rich earnings multiple, the risk side of the story now leans more on valuation, volatility and execution than on product relevance.

The UK was one of Levi’s fastest-growing markets last year as British trend leaders from Harry Styles to Noel Gallagher and Grime Gran were spotted in the brand’s kit. Lucia Marcuzzo, the managing director of the European operations at the US company famous for its denim jeans, said the revival of 1990s trends had boosted sales of its classic 501s. New trends such as baggy jeans and cinch styles, which can be adjusted around the waist, had also helped, as denim has found its way back into wardrobes. Denim lost out in the Covid pandemic era in favour of slouchy dressing for lounging at home. Closed high streets in many parts of the world also affected sales as most people prefer to try on jeans before buying in order to get a good fit. Louise Déglise-Favre, the lead apparel analyst at GlobalData, said sales of jeans were rising faster than the wider fashion market, at about 1.5% a year, as “denim was having a bit of a moment”. She said that denim brands with a certain level of trust and reputation for quality were benefiting from a shift towards value for money that was “not necessarily about low prices but getting your money’s worth”. Established labels such as Levi’s also have strong resale value on sites such as Vinted, while competition from brands such as Topshop, which once flooded the high streets with cheap and trend jeans, has receded.

Photograph: Ognyan Yosifov/Alamy Déglise-Favre added that Levi’s had been “slowly rejuvenating its image with celebrity tie-ups relevant to younger shoppers” in a way that was subtle enough that it had “slowly become cool again”. Susie Draffan, the senior denim strategist at the trends agency WGSN, said denim bands were also benefiting from expansion into a wider array of items, from jackets and shirts to skirts, as well as a range of fashionable jeans silhouettes, from wide leg to boot cut. She said denim was now “an important...

New York, Feb 6, 2026, 10:21 a.m. EST — Market open for regular trading. Broadcom shares climbed roughly 4% in morning trading amid a wider bounce in chip stocks. Alphabet’s massive spending forecast for 2026 has shifted the spotlight back onto AI infrastructure suppliers. Investors are turning to Broadcom’s March 4 earnings for fresh insights on demand. Shares of Broadcom Inc (AVGO.O) jumped almost 4% on Friday, hitting $322.82 in morning trading. Investors appeared to come back to AI-related chip stocks following a tough week for the tech sector. Alphabet’s forecast points to capital expenditure hitting between $175 billion and $185 billion in 2026, covering investments in servers, data centers, and more. “Our AI investments and infrastructure are fueling revenue and growth across the board,” CEO Sundar Pichai told analysts. 1 Why it matters now: investors wrestle with soaring AI budgets while worrying profits might not keep pace. Big Tech’s planned $600 billion AI spending spree this year has rattled software and data stocks, which tumbled on worries about disruption. Traders are growing increasingly alert to signs that margins could take a hit. 2 Broadcom stands to benefit clearly. The company, which makes networking chips and custom processors called ASICs — application-specific integrated circuits — sees a direct impact. Jefferies analyst Blayne Curtis noted that Google’s increased capital expenditure “offers a significant vote of confidence for AI spend moving higher.” 3 The chip sector lit up Tuesday. Nvidia climbed around 4.7%, AMD jumped close to 6.1%, and Marvell gained just under 5%. Alphabet slipped about 2.8%, dragged down by investor concerns over the bill’s scale. The iShares Semiconductor ETF jumped roughly 3.3% in early trade, mirroring a wider rebound among chipmakers. The rebound follows a sharp sell-off that spilled far outside software. Reuters’ Morning Bid highlighted how AI fears have erased nearly $1 trillion from software stocks in just one...

Although CoreWeave's stock is hot of late, it's still down more than 50% from its highs. CoreWeave's (CRWV +12.69%) stock went public nearly a year ago, back in March 2025. It has been a key stock for artificial intelligence (AI) investors to focus on, due to its close relationship with Nvidia (NVDA +5.83%). It gives companies access to compute power and Nvidia's leading chips, thus making it an attractive investment if you're bullish on the AI trade and Nvidia's continued dominance. Nvidia has also invested in CoreWeave. Recently, it also increased its stake in the business by $2 billion. The sign of confidence has given CoreWeave's stock a big bump, and it's now up 26% since the start of the year. Should you buy the AI stock as well? Does a deeper partnership with Nvidia make CoreWeave a safer stock to invest in? By adding another $2 billion in CoreWeave stock (approximately 23 million shares), Nvidia has nearly doubled its stake in the business, making it the second-largest investor in the tech company. The cash flow will help CoreWeave build out more capacity and data centers, positioning it for better growth opportunities due to AI. But whether that makes the stock a safer investment is debatable. CoreWeave has struggled to generate profits, despite amassing incredible top-line growth. During the first nine months of 2025, the company's revenue tripled to $3.6 billion, but its net loss of $715 million was just 12% smaller than the $812 million loss it incurred over the same period a year ago.
