Javier Ruiz/iStock via Getty Images Century Aluminum ( CENX ) +3.6% in Monday's trading after announcing the next steps in its partnership with Emirates Global Aluminum to build the first new primary aluminum production plant in the U.S. since 1980, which would double current U.S. primary aluminum production. The companies said they signed Bechtel to conduct preparatory engineering, undertaking the design of the new plant with a strong focus on value improvement, as they prepare the project for a final investment decision and the start of construction by the end of 2026. The facility is planned as part of a $4B investment announced by Oklahoma officials to build a smelter outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bechtel said it has built one-third of all new aluminum smelter capacity outside China over the past 25 years. Aluminum prices ( LMAHDS03:COM ) on the London Metal Exchange closed at $3,126/metric ton on Monday, slightly below a peak reached in late January but still at the highest levels since 2022.

President Emmanuel Macron has been handed a golden chance to insulate one of France ’s most important institutions from the far right. With Marine Le Pen ’s National Rally strongly positioned for next year’s election, the early resignation of the Bank of France chief offers the current head of state — rather than whoever wins the vote to replace him — the opportunity to name a successor. The job is a crucial one, involving attendance at European Central Bank meetings in Frankfurt, and acting as an economic watchdog back home. Francois Villeroy de Galhau , the governor now set to depart this June instead of October 2027, insists his exit to run a charitable foundation for troubled youngsters is a personal choice. That would stand out as a fairly exceptional step among Group of Seven peers, who have tended to serve out terms or move on to similar economic roles. Regardless of the reason for his decision, the net result remains the same: France’s elite is now in position to start pulling up the drawbridge in earnest if it wants to prepare for Le Pen, or potentially, her protégé, Jordan Bardella . And in case that ruling class has any doubts on what populist politicians can unleash, US President Donald Trump ’s attempts to force easing by the Federal Reserve offer a demonstrative warning; Villeroy himself decried that push against central-bank independence in a joint statement with global peers last month. “If it turns out that there’s more to this than personal reasons, then I see a defensive move by an elite that is trying to keep the republic standing,” said Sofia Ventura, a professor at the University of Bologna and author of books on French politics. “Leaving economic policy in the hands of people who don’t share certain values is troubling to some.” The danger there is that filling roles with appointees of the established order plays into populist narratives that doing so undercuts democracy. Already in France, actions by the judiciary to block candidates — a fate...

Shares in Microsoft (MSFT) fell after a downgrade by Stifel, who reduced its rating to a "Hold" and reduced its price target to $392 from a previous target of $540. This comes at a time when there is a growing sense of caution among investors regarding investments in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly about its ability to drive top-line and bottom-line growth in a sustained manner. It is not a question of whether AI is real and whether investments in this space make sense from a strategic perspective. The answer to that is a resounding yes. The question is whether these investments can drive sustained top-line and bottom-line growth in a timely manner, particularly regarding supply chain constraints and increasing investments in AI technology internally, particularly regarding its Azure segment. About Microsoft Stock Microsoft Corporation is a global technology leader in cloud computing, enterprise software, productivity software, gaming, and AI. The company is based in Redmond, Washington, and its market capitalization is approximately $2.9 trillion, making it one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world. Over the past 52 weeks, MSFT stock has traded in a range from a low of $344.79 to a high of $555.45. The stock is currently trading at around $412 per share, a result of a moderate decline in its stock price over the past five trading sessions of about 3%. However, a six-month decline of 20% and a drop of 14% year-to-date (YTD) indicate a sharp underperformance compared to its peers. This is a result of growing concerns with AI-related capex spending rather than any fundamental deterioration in its business model. From a valuation perspective, MSFT stock is trading at a trailing price-earnings ratio of 26.9x and a forward price-earnings ratio of 25.3x. The stock’s current valuation is a bit lower than its recent highs but is still high compared to its historical averages, particularly regarding its margins, which have been impacted ...

In an aerial view, two-story single family homes line the streets on Jan. 14, 2026 in Thousand Oaks, California. Kevin Carter | Getty Images House lawmakers are set to pass a package of bills aimed at increasing housing affordability by giving builders and local governments incentives to boost construction by reducing regulations around home construction. The legislation has strong bipartisan support, as does a largely similar Senate counterpart passed last year. That, as well as President Donald Trump 's focus on housing affordability, means the measure has momentum to become law before the end of the year. "Nothing's more personal to Americans than their opportunity to have a home," Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., told reporters on Monday. "When you ask people what is central to their goals in life, mom and dad are working 55 hours a week and overtime and all these other things ... the idea is, how do we get into a house?" The bill includes numerous provisions, including cutting housing and environmental regulations around constructing homes. Local communities could get grants to make it easier for builders by offering pre-reviewed housing designs, streamlining construction or housing. The Department of Housing and Urban Development would also develop best-practices for zoning guidelines. Definitions around manufactured and modular housing would be updated to encourage more factory-built homes, which can be constructed in a fraction of the time compared to more traditional house-building methods. Community banks would also get a boost through the bill. One change would allow banks to take more custodial and reciprocal deposits, which could help banks provide more mortgages for potential homeowners. Other changes would make it easier to start new banks and change how the FDIC looks at banking mergers.

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Alphabet unit Waymo said on Monday it has gone fully autonomous in Nashville, Tennessee, ramping up operations as the robotaxi race heats up in the United States. In September, the company and Lyft announced plans to start offering autonomous cab rides in Nashville this year, making it the first commercial deployment of Waymo's driverless taxis on the ride-hailing firm's network. While Waymo remains the leader in the U.S. market, competition is brewing, with Elon Musk's Tesla, making robotaxis a core priority for the company, pivoting away from electric vehicles. Waymo has a fleet of more than 2,500 vehicles operating in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Metro Phoenix in Arizona, Austin in Texas and Atlanta in Georgia. Underscoring the rising investor interest, the self-driving startup last week said it had raised $16 billion in a fundraising round that valued it at $126 billion, nearly tripling its valuation in less than two years.

What Happened? Shares of technology giant Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after analysts suggested that the recent "SaaSpocalypse" sell-off had pushed valuations into deeply oversold territory, sparking a wave of opportunistic buying. While the sector had been hammered in early 2026 by fears that autonomous AI agents would replace traditional seat-based subscriptions, institutional investors began rotating back into "sticky" incumbents. This shift was fueled by a Barclays report arguing that corporate transitions away from legacy systems take years, not weeks, providing a protective moat for established providers in compliance and governance. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $413.78, up 3.1% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Microsoft? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. What Is The Market Telling Us Microsoft’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 3 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 11 days ago when the stock dropped 11.8% on the news that the company reported mixed fourth quarter earnings: Business Services and Intelligent Cloud revenue beat, but Personal Computing missed. EPS, even after removing the impacts of OpenAI, also beat expectations. However, the magnitude of the beat in Intelligent Cloud and Azure's growth rate could be called into question by some investors hoping for stronger results, aided by AI products and services. Looking ahead, management expects demand for Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and AI-driven business applications to continue driving growth, but cautioned that capital allocation and supply constraints could affect the pace of expansion. Zooming out, we think this was still a good print with some key areas of upside, but the ma...

What Is The Market Telling Us Palantir Technologies’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock dropped 6.5% on the news that the "AI replacement" narrative reached a fever pitch following the release of new models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The simultaneous debut of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's "Frontier" agent platform raised concerns that autonomous agents are no longer just tools, but new operating systems that can cannibalize traditional software. This suggests that specialized applications might be reduced to mere features within frontier models, rendering legacy seat-based licensing models increasingly obsolete. The catalyst is the models' unprecedented agentic power. Opus 4.6’s "software hunting" capability allows it to autonomously audit and patch complex codebases, while OpenAI's Frontier platform bypasses traditional CRM and ticketing interfaces to perform enterprise work directly.

ricardoreitmeyer/iStock via Getty Images By Brian Levitt, Chief Global Market Strategist and Head of Strategy & Insights, and Benjamin Jones, Global Head of Research, Strategy & Insights “Every silver lining has a touch of grey.” That line from the 1987 Grateful Dead captures the mixed signals that defined this past week in global markets. Now, I can already hear investors questioning the idea of a “touch” of grey, as last week’s market selloff likely felt much closer to a storm for many of them. But lost in the carnage of the software sector selloff 1 and the unwind of several other momentum-driven areas of the market is the fact that nearly 20% of the S&P 500 Index ( SPX ) hit new highs last week. 2 To put it further into perspective, roughly two-thirds of the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange are still trading above their 200-day moving average. 3 Nonetheless, the reversal across several momentum-driven areas of the market was particularly striking. Gold, which had rallied substantially, declined. 4 Silver plunged 5 , as did bitcoin, 6 which has now fallen to nearly half of its October peak. The weakness extended into the software industry, where concerns have grown about the durability of long-term business models in a world where large artificial intelligence (AI) companies are building deeper capabilities that move into traditionally profitable software territory. In fact, of the 32 stocks in the S&P 500 Software Industry GICS Level 3 Index, not one posted a positive return for the five days ended February 5, 2026. The bellwether software companies, such as Microsoft ( MSFT ), Palantir ( PLTR ), Oracle ( ORCL ), and Salesforce ( CRM ), all fell by double digits. 7 Reasons for optimism in manufacturing, corporate earnings I promised silver linings. First, the most recent reading of the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index, which is seen as a leading indicator of the US economy, outperformed expectations. 8 The headline index climbed meaningfully int...
