There’s plenty to look forward to in the match, as well as plenty in my preamble for Scotland fans to take issue with. Feel free to let me know about this and anything else on the email . A year that looks good for Scotland in terms of form and fitness starts with a match vs Italy in Rome. This could be seen as a decent way to ease into the championship for Townsend’s team, who enter the tournament with optimism for what feels like at least the fifth year on the bounce. Talented, experienced, mostly settled, this side has all the markings of a group that should be challenging for the title but history proves will likely finish fourth. Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. This inexplicable frailty was demonstrated by this fixture last time out in 2024, when Italy came from behind then survived a late rally by the visitors to win 31-29; delivering their first win in eleven years. How the Azzuri would love the same result today. Both teams have an open style of playing, reflected in this being only fixture of the opening round that features both sides with a 5:3 split in the subs. Most coaches are favouring as much beef as possible off the bench, but Gregor Townsend and Gonzalo Quesada prefer more craft in their options. This approach has earned some decent results for Italy in the previous two years, but less so consistently for Scotland. One of the many frustrations that bubble up about Townsend is inability – or unwillingness - to change approach in the face of the same performances and outcomes. The tone setting nature of this fixture for both sides should not be underestimated; especially the visitors whose whistle and drone from the deflation of defeat will be audible in Inverness.

If humanoid robots really are about to enter the mainstream, the first signs of that trend might appear in these three stocks. The idea of humanoid robots that can walk, talk, and interact with people in everyday life has captivated imaginations for decades. And today, several companies are amping up their efforts to combine robotics with the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to turn that science-fiction dream into reality. How will you know when "the robots are here"? Morgan Stanley research forecasts that 10% of U.S. households could own a humanoid by 2050, with the devices selling at an average price of $50,000. However, the first widely adopted humanoid robots might not be robot housekeepers for the consumer market. Instead, the latest trends suggest that these humanoid robots might arrive first in car factories. If you believe humanoid robots are almost here, you might want to buy shares of Hyundai, Toyota (TM +2.96%), and Tesla (TSLA +3.47%). Hyundai: New Atlas robot could work in its factories in 2028 Korean automaker Hyundai made big headlines at CES 2026 with Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by its Boston Dynamics subsidiary. Atlas won the trade show's award for best robot, and the CES voting panel praised its naturalistic way of walking and sleek design. Hyundai says it intends to put Atlas robots to work in its car factory in Savannah, Georgia, by 2028, starting with simple processes like parts sequencing. It then plans to expand their workloads to more complex activities by 2030. According to Hyundai, the Atlas robot is designed to be trainable on most tasks in less than a day and can lift up to 110 pounds. It has advanced rotational joints, human-scale hands, and precise sensors that should make it a good fit for industrial environments. Since the day it announced its plans for the Atlas robot at CES, Hyundai stock has risen by about 60%.

18m ago 13.36 GMT Will Unwin It certainly feels like Burnley are already down but a loss today will confirm it, even if Lancashire’s leading optimists will point to the mathematical possibilities between now and mid-May. They have not been good for many months, failing to win any of their past 15 Premier League games, and most recently getting brushed aside by Sunderland, thanks to an appalling performance that earned the ire of Scott Parker and Kyle Walker. The fans will be looking for a response and something to lift the gloom against West Ham, the team one place above them. Things have improved under Nuno Espirito Santo but West Ham remain six points from safety. Losing against Burnley today would be an impressive new low, which is saying something considering the Hammers are the only team to have lost to rock-bottom Wolves. These are the games West Ham need to win if they are to chase down Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Crystal Palace but they have slipped up before.

Oracle is also considering workforce reductions that could affect up to 30,000 roles and a possible sale of its Cerner health tech unit.

The Defense Department said it is severing academic ties to Harvard University and ending professional military education fellowships, the latest blow to the university from the federal government. Secretary Pete Hegseth , a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School, said in a post Friday night that attendance at the school no longer “meets the needs” of the Department or the military services and the Pentagon will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs at the Harvard Kennedy School starting in the next academic year. “For too long, this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,” Hegseth said. “Instead, too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” The Trump administration has been targeting higher education, particularly Harvard, for concerns over antisemitism, diversity programs, perceived political bias and a perceived lack of academic rigor . Several elite universities struck deals with the administration, including Columbia, Brown, Northwestern and Cornell universities, that restored hundreds of millions of dollars in federal research funding. Harvard hasn’t settled and this week Trump demanded $1 billion after the New York Times reported they were close to a deal. Military personnel who are currently attending classes at Harvard will be able to finish those courses of study. Hegseth also cited concerns about Harvard’s relationships with foreign nations. The department and military services would evaluate similar relationships with other schools, he said. Harvard didn’t have an immediate comment. Over the past 10 years, more than 500 US active duty service members, reservists, and veterans have enrolled in the Kennedy School’s various educational programs, the school said in November .

Indigo Division/iStock via Getty Images For US Stock Market Active Corporate Bond Investors: METCZ In this analysis, we believe a “Hold” rating for NASDAQ-listed Ramaco Resources, Inc. CAL NT 29 ( METCZ ) notes is appropriate at this time. This should not be interpreted as a downgrade from our previous article . Rather, it is intended to encourage readers who have been following our coverage to continue holding the investment explored in this analysis. Given the current market environment, quality opportunities are rare and require careful research before being identified. This update should be of interest to investors who are bucking the recent trend highlighted by Robin Brooks, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution (for Yahoo Finance ): Central banks are reducing their exposure to US Treasury bonds amid fears of a potential global debt crisis – a factor that we believe could dampen the perceived attractiveness of bonds as an asset class in portfolios. About METCZ Ramaco Resources, Inc. CAL NT 29 This security is an asset traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “METCZ.” The underlying asset is $50 million in unsecured bonds issued by Ramaco Resources (2 million bonds with a face value of $25 each), maturing in November 2029, carrying a fixed coupon of 8.375% paid quarterly, and callable from 2026. Here you will find the prospectus for this bond. Ramaco Resources is a company based in Lexington, Kentucky, that supplies metallurgical coal to coke producers and blast furnace steel plants in North America and abroad. Our Previous Coverage of METCZ We considered the buy signal for METCZ bonds (NASDAQ-traded) to be largely justified, as investors in the turbulent global market environment were seeking attractive and stable investments in bonds and fixed-income securities. METCZ bonds were seen as a combination of high yield and the security of an investment-grade rating. On this solid foundation, the valuation generally appeared very attractive, given the aforemention...

The Gateway Tunnel site near W. 30th St. and 11th Ave. in Hudson Yards, New York City, on Oct. 23, 2025. New York Daily News | Tribune News Service | Getty Images A New York federal judge on Friday unfroze funds withheld by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration for a $16 billion project to overhaul critical rail infrastructure in New York and New Jersey. The Gateway Project will build a new commuter rail tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey and repair a century-old tunnel used by more than 200,000 travelers and 425 trains daily. The existing Hudson Tunnel was heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and needs frequent emergency repairs that disrupt travel on the nation's most heavily used passenger rail line. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan handed down the temporary ruling hours after New York and New Jersey said construction would halt for lack of funding. Vargas said the states were likely to succeed on their claims that a Trump administration directive freezing the funds was arbitrary and ran afoul of legal procedures for making policy changes. The White House and Department of Transportation did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the ruling. New Jersey Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and New York Attorney General Letitia James issued statements praising the ruling. "The Trump Administration must drop this campaign of political retribution immediately and must allow work on this vital infrastructure project to continue," Davenport said. The states said in a January 3 lawsuit that Trump's Republican administration had frozen the funds in a "brazen act of political retribution" against their Democratic leaders. They said a work stoppage would hold up a crucial infrastructure project, damage their economies and saddle them with costs from securing idled construction sites. The Trump administration has withheld $205 million in reimbursements for the project since October 1. Trump has reportedly demanded t...

"The 'Experts' said that if I hit 50,000 on the Dow by the end of my Term, I would have done a great job, but I hit 50,000 today, three years ahead of schedule — Remember that for the Midterms, because the Democrats will CRASH the Economy!"

After a week of dizzying market swings, some stocks wrapped up the week at levels that might mean rebounds are on the horizon. The relative strength indicator, which measures the magnitude and speed of price moves, is a popular metric used to evaluate whether shares are overbought or oversold. A stock with a 14-day RSI below 30 is considered oversold, suggesting that it could be a promising entry point for investors. Those with a 14-day RSI above 70 are considered overbought, signaling a possible selling opportunity. But because the selloff in many stocks was so intense this week, CNBC Pro instead looked at those with RSIs below 20 to find the most deeply oversold. We also screened for those companies that, in addition, dropped more than 5% this week. Here are the stocks that made the screen, with data as of shortly after Friday's opening bell: PayPal was the most oversold, with an RSI under 11. Shares tanked more than 24% this week through Friday's open, leaving the payments processor set for its worst week ever. Much of PayPal's decline came in reaction to its weak 2026 profit outlook on Tuesday. PayPal also said it was replacing CEO Alex Chriss. The average analyst has a hold rating on PayPal, according to LSEG. But the Street's consensus price target suggests upside of nearly 40% over the next 12 months. PYPL 5D mountain PayPal, 5-day chart Coinbase was another of the most oversold names, with an RSI of about 14. Shares tumbled 25% in the week through Friday's opening bell as bitcoin plunged . The digital asset platform regained some ground Friday alongside a recovery in the leading cryptocurrency. Wall Street is optimistic on the stock. The typical analyst polled by LSEG has a buy rating and expects shares to more than double over the next year. Alternative asset manager KKR & Co. has an RSI below 20. Shares were tracking to end the week down more than 13% amid fears that artificial intelligence could roil the application software industry, which KKR and other ...

Microsoft: A cloud leader One of the first companies to push all in on AI, Microsoft (MSFT +2.00%) finds itself in a good position despite its lagging stock price. It's also attractively valued, trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 25 times based on fiscal 2026 analyst estimates (ending June 2026) and below 22.5 times fiscal 2027 estimates.

Azure has been Microsoft's biggest growth driver, with revenue growing by 30% or more for 10 consecutive quarters, including 39% last quarter.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's software businesses have also been strong, led by continued adoption of its AI assistant copilots. Last quarter, Copilot seats soared 160%, while daily active users surged 10 times. Given its cloud computing growth and Copilot strength, Microsoft is a stock to buy and hold for the long term.

Beijing has denounced Norway ’s latest security assessment labelling China as a threat, dismissing the report as “sheer speculation and imagination” while accusing Oslo of holding a “misguided” view that risked damage to ties. In an online statement posted on Saturday, the Chinese embassy in Norway said the reports “once again fabricate the so-called ‘China threat’ narrative out of sheer speculation and imagination, replete with cliches and not worthy of refutation”. “The China-related content is gravely inconsistent with facts and runs counter to the trend of the developmen t of China-Norway relations. We strongly deplore and firmly oppose to this.” Advertisement The rebuke came as Norwegian intelligence, police and national security agencies released their annual risk assessments on Friday. In its report, the Norwegian Intelligence Service warned of strained global security this year compared to 2025, suggesting that the weakening of international institutions and crumbling of the world order were a “welcome development” for China and Russia. Advertisement “Russia and China are seeking a geopolitical division into spheres of influence and the ushering in of a multipolar world. The two countries share the view that the West in general, and the transatlantic partnership in particular, are fracturing,” it said.
