Lafarge fined more than €1m and its former boss jailed for paying nearly €5.6m to groups including Islamic State A French court has fined the cement group Lafarge more than €1m (£870,000) and sentenced its former boss to six years in prison for paying protection money to Islamic State and other terror groups to maintain its business in war-torn Syria from 2013 to 2014.

Lafarge fined more than €1m and its former boss jailed for paying nearly €5.6m to groups including Islamic State A French court has fined the cement group Lafarge more than €1m (£870,000) and sentenced its former boss to six years in prison for paying protection money to Islamic State and other terror groups to maintain its business in war-torn Syria from 2013 to 2014. The ruling follows a 2022 case in the United States in which the French firm pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to US-designated “terrorist” organisations and agreed to pay a $778m fine (£580m) – the first time a company had faced the charge.

Taiwan Helium Imports Rapidly Shift From Qatar To U.S. As Global Energy Flows Are Rewired We've been tracking the global rewiring of energy flows from the start, including identifying who stands to emerge as the net beneficiary of the U.S.-Iran conflict and the resulting disruption across the Gulf theater. Early in the conflict, we cited energy research firm Criterion , which noted that Qatar had been dethroned as the "LNG king" as the U.S. seized the throne , reshaping the future of global gas markets. None of this should come as a surprise. Eurasian energy flows have been rewired over the last four years, first by the Russia-Ukraine war and now by the U.S.-Iran conflict. Nord Stream was an early turning point in that structural shift, and the latest Gulf disruptions have only accelerated it. What had been obvious to energy analysts for weeks finally broke into the mainstream over the weekend, with even Fox News plastering charts showing the U.S. has become the world's emergency gas station. The next chart, shared by independent research firm SemiAnalysis , shows yet another rewiring of global energy flows, this time in Taiwan's helium sourcing, which was previously dominated by shipments from Qatar; this trend has quickly reversed, with U.S. helium shipments ramping up. Key points of the SemiAnalysis chart showing the structural shift in Taiwan's helium sourcing: Qatar dominated - until recently: From 2020 through most of 2024, Taiwan's helium imports were heavily dominated by Qatar (orange line) Volumes ramped in just a few short years, peaking above $20M/month in 2025 That reflects Qatar's long-standing role as a low-cost, large-scale helium supplier. Sudden reversal: Qatar volumes are sharply rolling over in 2026 It's not demand-driven, given AI chip production elevated - it's linked to supply disruption or geopolitical risk and uncertainty in the Mideast, forcing Taiwanese buyers to source from more secure areas US exporters stepping in: U.S. helium (blue line...

everydayplus/iStock via Getty Images Income ETFs with a covered call strategy work best when the market is range-bound. The underlying index should go up, but not by much beyond the strike price. Here, these funds own equities, sell options, and distribute cash. Looks simple, but what happens when the underlying performs better than expected and moves above the strike price? How do you retain some of that upside without giving it away to the option buyer? This is the key problem the Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF ( GPIQ ) is trying to solve. In a typical covered call structure, let’s say the underlying index returns ~12-15% annually, and the fund also delivers ~8–12% total return – what happens to the remaining return? It goes to the option buyer — income ETFs that sell options sell some of your future upside for current income. Here’s a quick look at the returns of a few income ETFs. They are all tracking more or less the same underlying companies, yet the outcomes vary greatly : Author There’s a 2x difference between the worst and the best return. Yet, these names basically do the same thing. The difference is not in the stocks they select but in how aggressively they sell the upside. QYLD is a fully overwritten fund: it maximizes the option income but has a low equity return. JEPQ and QQQI are more flexible. They retain more upside, deliver better total returns (at least in this screen), and also offer good income. GPIQ must be assessed as a part of this group. It is not just another high-yield ETF but an attempt to generate the highest income possible while retaining the most equity return. What GPIQ Actually Is Here are some useful metrics for GPIQ: Author In some respects, GPIQ is closest to JEPQ and QQQI: double-digit yield, Nasdaq focus, and monthly income. However, the strategies differ. The GPIQ portfolio itself is essentially mega-cap Nasdaq, with a weighted average market cap likely in the trillion-dollar range, over 50% Tech exposure, and c...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! They say that if you’re expecting a kick in the swingers but only receive a punch in the face, you can probably consider it a good result. Because he probably wasn’t expecting his Arsenal players to ship a hoof to the collective crown jewels from Bournemouth on Saturday, Mikel Arteta understandably failed to find any positives as he told one post-match interviewer after another that his listless side’s thoroughly deserved defeat felt like “ a big punch on the face ”. Whatever about their toothlessness up front, devotion to sideways and backwards passes and an at times almost comical inability to beat the Bournemouth press, the manner in which Arsenal’s players seemed genuinely paralysed by terror will be of the greatest concern to their equally terrified fans. Whether the sight of an extremely agitated Spaniard bouncing around his technical area like Basil Fawlty thrashing his Austin 1100 with a tree branch does much to alleviate the cloud of anxiety that has descended upon the Emirates Stadium is open to extremely one-sided debate. Manchester City’s luminous monstrosity of a kit at Stamford Bridge made them look like 11 operatives in search of their missing bin lorry.
