重慶大學一個實驗室發生爆炸，一死三傷。 網上圖片可見，實驗室門口有血跡，實驗室內設備破損，雜物散落一地。 重慶大學今晚發布情況通報，指科學城校區虎溪校園，一個實驗室昨晚發生安全事故，造成一名學生死亡、三名學生受傷。目前受傷學生傷勢平穩，無生命危險。經初步調查，涉及疑似操作不當，引發實驗物品閃爆。

葵涌凌晨發生警員開槍事件，一名持刀男子遭三名警員開五槍，擊中右胸及右大腿，昏迷送院，截至晚上情況仍然危殆。警方初步懷疑他精神有問題，仍待索取其病歷。 事發後，大批警員到青山公路蒐證，並拉起封鎖線，地上有鐵通及懷疑利刀。 警方先在凌晨約12時半接報，指有持刀男子在荃灣港鐵站一帶徘徊，警員到場後無發現。半小時後警方再接獲駕駛人士報案，指該男子在青山公路葵涌段近華員邨一帶，持刀向私家車揮舞。 新界南衝鋒隊趕到現場，該男子從草叢衝出，當時手持一把約30厘米長的刀，及一支一米長鐵通。警員口頭警告無效，用胡椒噴霧制服不果，三名警察先後向他開了合共五槍。 新界南總區刑事總部高級警司姚永勤說：「利用身上的武器，衝向我們的同事，並大叫『斬死你』。我相信同事在沒有其他選擇情況下，亦給予相當充足警告下，才作這艱難決定。當然現階段我們不能指，哪槍中、哪槍不中，但當最後兩槍時，亦能制服這名疑兇時，我們已馬上停止相關武力。」 受傷的43歲男子，右胸及右大腿中槍，送往瑪嘉烈醫院搶救。警方指疑犯任職地盤工人、無案底，初步懷疑他精神有問題，仍正調查犯案動機。 新界南總區刑事總部高級警司姚永勤說：「見到這名男士穿裙，亦喃喃自語、自己說話，前後踱步，一些比較不太正常的行為。我們暫時未能取得相關病歷，不過從多位報案人士，從我們警務人員觀察、多次警告，亦看到向我們揮舞武器，向不同道路使用者揮刀等，我們懷疑他精神有問題。」 大批警員及探員早上，在案發現場地毯式搜索彈頭，在附近山坡搜尋。 事發現場最近的民居，是青山公路旁，在山上的華員邨，早上有不少警員到場調查。有居民就指凌晨聽到槍聲。 何女士說：「一時左右聽到兩下槍聲，之前有些嘈雜聲。雖然靜、但治安不錯，這些也屬個別事件。」 有居民指會減少夜晚外出，擔心再有同類事件。

伊朗戰事持續，據報美國和以色列襲擊伊朗的核設施，而伊朗向印度洋中部的美軍基地發射導彈。對於伊朗稱擊中美軍隱形戰機，有軍事專家認為戰機是被光電感測器鎖定。 伊朗傳媒周六引述伊朗原子能組織聲明報道，以色列和美國襲擊了伊朗納坦茲鈾濃縮設施，未有發生泄漏，但批評有關攻擊，違反國際法和核安全規定。 美國哥倫比亞廣播公司報道，美國總統特朗普政府正制定戰略方案，以奪取伊朗的「核儲備」，可能部署聯合特種作戰司令部的部隊執行計劃。 伊朗周六打擊超過55處以色列軍事設施，及美軍在中東基地。《華爾街日報》報道，伊朗向約四千公里以外，位於印度洋中部的美英聯合軍事基地，迪戈加西亞基地，發射了兩枚中程彈道導彈，未有擊中目標。當地是美國派駐轟炸機，核潛艇與導彈驅逐艦的重要基地。 這是戰事開始以來，伊朗首次用中程彈道導彈，並試圖將打擊範圍擴大到中東地區以外。伊朗將打擊目標鎖定在印度洋，意味著其導彈射程比早前外長阿拉格齊提到的，2000公里的限制要更遠。 英國早前表示，已授權美國使用英國境內軍事基地，對伊朗導彈發射場及相關設施進行打擊。美方可動用的基地包括，英國南部費爾福德空軍基地，及印度洋迪戈加西亞美英聯合基地。 特朗普周五表示，他認為美以對伊朗的戰事已取得勝利，指美國已經很接近實現目標，正考慮降級在伊朗的軍事行動。 但有傳媒引述美國官員報道，美軍正向中東地區增派3艘兩棲攻擊艦，包括一艘黃蜂級兩棲攻擊艦「拳師」號，及其兩棲戒備群中的兩艘戰艦，「波特蘭」號與「康斯托克」號，另外還將派遣大約2,500名海軍陸戰遠征隊員。引發外界關注，美國是否要在伊朗部署地面部隊。 美國新聞網站AXIOS報道，特朗普政府正考慮佔領或封鎖伊朗石油出口樞紐哈爾克島，以向伊方施壓重開霍爾木茲海峽，而相關行動需要更多部隊執行。 對於伊朗早前說，擊中美軍F-35隱形戰機，央視引述軍事專家說，相信伊朗防空部隊，摸清了美軍戰機空襲規律，趁F-35降低飛行高度時，以地面較靈活的防空戰車，以光電感測器捕捉戰機引擎所產生的紅外線熱信號，然後鎖定目標，並發射中短程導彈攻擊。 專家又估計，事發後美軍會盡可能讓F-35飛得高些，發揮其隱形性能，採取高空轟炸，或者有其他戰機掩護。

The energy sector has been upended by the geopolitical conflict unfolding in the Middle East. News flow from the region is driving dramatic price moves in oil and natural gas. If you are looking at the sector today, you need to consider three possible oil scenarios as 2026 unfolds: prices stay the same, prices rise, or prices start to fall. Oil prices stay the same Oil prices are hovering around $100 per barrel, or a little higher. Elevated energy prices will lead to strong financial results for energy producers (upstream companies). The longer oil stays at the current level, the longer producers benefit. The most direct impact will be on pure-play producers like Devon Energy (DVN 0.02%). It further benefits from operating in the United States, far away from the Middle East conflict. However, integrated energy companies like Chevron (CVX +0.12%) will also benefit, but to a lesser degree. Chevron's midstream (pipeline) and downstream (chemicals and refining) assets, along with its global portfolio, will likely temper the positives of sustained high oil prices. Oil prices rise further If the conflict in the Middle East worsens, oil prices are likely to rise further. Prices as high as $200 a barrel have been mentioned. Producers like Devon Energy and Chevron would benefit even more as prices rise. That said, Chevron's exposure to the downstream, where oil and natural gas are key inputs, would likely be a material limiting factor on the extent to which it benefits. The worst impact from rising prices will likely be felt by pure-play refining businesses, such as Valero (VLO 0.91%), and chemicals companies, such as Dow (DOW 2.24%). That said, cost increases could be offset to some degree by rising prices for the products that downstream businesses produce, which are often commodities themselves.

A North Carolina man has pleaded guilty to defrauding music streaming platforms and his fellow musicians out of millions in royalties by flooding the services with thousands of AI-generated songs – and using automated “bots” to artificially boost the number of listens into the billions. As part of a deal with federal prosecutors in New York’s southern district, 52-year-old Michael Smith pleaded guilty on Friday to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The case against the Cornelius, North Carolina, resident is one of the first successful prosecutions of AI-related fraud in the music business, which is being hammered by fake music that threatens to swamp streaming services and deprive earnings from legitimately human musicians and copyright holders. “Michael Smith generated thousands of fake songs using artificial intelligence and then streamed those fake songs billions of times,” US attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement. “Although the songs and listeners were fake, the millions of dollars Smith stole was real. Millions of dollars in royalties that Smith diverted from real, deserving artists and rights holders. Smith’s brazen scheme is over, as he stands convicted of a federal crime for his AI-assisted fraud.” Smith was charged in September 2024 with fraudulently obtaining more than $10m in royalty payments by amassing as many as 661,440 streams daily between 2017 and 2024, yielding annual royalties of $1,027,128. Then US attorney Damian Williams said the defendant had stolen “millions in royalties that should have been paid to musicians, songwriters, and other rights holders whose songs were legitimately streamed” and it was “time for Smith to face the music”. As one X commentator by the handle of Tuki pointed out after the plea deal was announced, Smith had used “AI make the music AND the audience” and had made $1.2m a year “for music no human ever actually listened to”. Musicians and the music industry, the X user added, now has “to fight songs that don’t exist bein...

Josh Coburn earned what could prove to be a priceless point with a second-half equaliser as Millwall drew 1-1 against promotion-rivals Ipswich at Portman Road. The home side took the lead late in the first half through Jack Clarke with Coburn responding early in the second period. The result kept the two teams in third and fourth respectively, two points behind second-placed Middlesbrough, who drew 0-0 at Blackburn, but with Ipswich having a game in hand. Jake Cooper cleared Darnell Furlong’s effort off the Millwall goalline in the ninth minute before Clarke, Ipswich’s leading scorer, gave his side the lead in the 41st minute. He picked up the ball just outside the area from Azor Matusiwa and weaved his way into a shooting position, firing low and hard past the unsighted Anthony Patterson from 25 yards. Millwall enjoyed a perfect start to the second half when Coburn equalised in the 50th minute. Camiel Neghl’s cross evaded Jacob Greaves and allowed the Millwall striker to fire home from close range.

Photograph: Paul Bonser/Sports Press Photo/Shutterstock Millwall struck the crossbar late on through substitute Mihailo Ivanovic after a goalmouth scramble Middlesbrough wasted an opportunity to tighten their grip on second place at Ewood Park. It was a familiar story as they failed to capitalise on their dominance against relegation-threatened Blackburn and means they are now winless in three matches, having scored once. Derby boosted their playoff hopes by dealing a big blow to Birmingham’s own chances with a 1-0 win at Pride Park. The game was decided towards the end of the first half when the Birmingham keeper, James Beadle, misjudged a Rhian Brewster header although Derby could have won by a bigger margin.

Justin Timberlake struggled to perform field sobriety tests requiring him to walk a straight line and stand on one leg after the pop star was pulled over in New York’s Hamptons in 2024 by police officers who suspected him of driving drunk, according to video footage released on Friday. Timberlake tells officers at one point, “these are like really hard tests.” The footage, which runs roughly eight hours, includes Timberlake’s initial stop after Sag Harbor police said he ran a stop sign in the village center, veered out of his lane and got out of his BMW smelling of alcohol that June. The NSYNC singer turned solo artist and actor tells officers he had consumed one martini and had been following friends home in the former whaling village, which is among the affluent beach towns of the Hamptons, about 100 miles (160km) east of New York City. When an officer asks why he is in town, Timberlake says: “I’m on a world tour.” “Doing what?” the officer asks. “Hard to explain,” Timberlake says. After stammering a bit, he says: “World tour. I’m Justin Timberlake.” The officer eventually responds: “You are Justin Timberlake? Do you have a license with you?” Timberlake, who pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of impaired driving, is asked by officers to walk heel-to-toe in a straight line on the road and lift one leg. At times he seems flustered listening to the instructions. He apologizes to officers and tells them his heart is racing. “I’m a little nervous,” Timberlake says at one point. In the back seat of the police car, he asks: “Why are you arresting me?” A woman who had been out with her husband and Timberlake that night came to the scene at one point and unsuccessfully asked if she could give the Grammy-winning entertainer his cellphone. When she realized he was being taken into custody, she was heard saying: “You’re arresting Justin Timberlake right now?” Invoking an NSYNC hit and one of his signature solo efforts, she later said: “Can you guys please just do me a favor ‘c...

Danny Welbeck has not given up on making England’s World Cup squad and showed exactly what Thomas Tuchel is missing with two goals to dent Liverpool’s Champions League hopes. The Brighton striker moved past Dominic Calvert-Lewin – selected ahead of him for England’s upcoming friendlies – with his 11th and 12th league goals of the season, making him the Premier League’s highest-scoring Englishman. At 35, this is the most prolific campaign of his career. Could he really warrant a place in the England squad this summer? It seems a stretch, but with players extending their elite years longer than ever, there is at least some logic in taking an experienced forward – one with 16 goals in 42 England games – to the US as Harry Kane’s understudy. If this was a reminder to Tuchel of what Welbeck can still offer, it was equally a reminder of the challenge Liverpool face to qualify for next season’s Champions League. This was their 10th Premier League defeat of the season; you have to go back a decade to find the last time they lost that many times in the league. The manner of Brighton’s goals summed up Liverpool’s season: disjointed, out of sync, error-strewn. View image in fullscreen Milos Kerkez equalises for Liverpool. Photograph: Jeff Mood/ProSports/Shutterstock In the buildup to the first, Curtis Jones misplaced a pass intended for Jeremie Frimpong out for a throw-in. Moments later, Liverpool’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili – drafted in after Alisson pulled out injured on Friday night – had the ball at his feet and played it to Ibrahima Konaté, but the pass was overhit and the defender let it run under his foot. From the resulting thrown-in, a deep cross was headed back across by Diego Gómez, and Welbeck was given freedom to head in from close range. The second goal carried the same defensive disorganisation. When Yankuba Minteh crossed, nobody tracked Jack Hinshelwood at the back post and – once again – Welbeck was left completely free to turn the ball in. Mamardashvil...

TrendAI recently announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to secure NVIDIA OpenShell, an open-source runtime for long-lived agentic AI, by embedding governance, continuous risk visibility, and runtime policy enforcement directly into autonomous AI deployments. This move positions Trend Micro at the center of emerging demand for securing autonomous AI agents, where control over tools, behaviors, and real-time risk monitoring is becoming a core requirement for enterprise adoption. Next, we’ll examine how Trend Micro’s work securing NVIDIA’s OpenShell agent runtime could reshape its AI-driven cybersecurity investment narrative. The future of work is here. Discover the 31 top robotics and automation stocks leading the charge in AI-driven automation and industrial transformation. Trend Micro Investment Narrative Recap To own Trend Micro, you need to believe its push into AI driven cybersecurity, led by the Vision One platform, can offset pressures in consumer security, perpetual licenses, and SMB expansion. The NVIDIA OpenShell collaboration reinforces the near term AI platform catalyst by putting Trend Micro into early agent security conversations, but it does not directly solve existing issues around online settlements, weaker consumer renewals, or the heavy upfront AI investment burden. Among recent announcements, the launch of Trend Cybertron, a dedicated cybersecurity LLM tightly integrated with Vision One, looks most relevant to the OpenShell news. Both moves speak to a single platform approach to AI security and governance across endpoints, cloud, and now autonomous agents, which could strengthen Trend Micro’s case for larger multiyear enterprise deals even as it balances the risk of rising AI spend and only gradual revenue impact. Yet beneath the excitement around NVIDIA and agentic AI, investors should also be aware of the risk that rising AI investments and lagging consumer recovery could...

US Says Iran's Threat To Hormuz Traffic "Degraded" As 23 Nations Signal Waterway Support Three weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the Trump administration's central focus now is very clear: reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore the normal passage of crude and LNG tankers through a maritime chokepoint that carries roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG flows. On Saturday morning, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command and the official overseeing Operation Epic Fury, released an update on day 22 of the combat mission and stated: Iran has lost significant combat capability over the last three weeks. We are taking out thousands of Iranian missiles, advanced attack drones, and all of Iran's Navy, which they use to harass international shipping. Their navy is not sailing . Their tactical fighters aren't flying. They have lost the ability to launch missiles and drones at high rates as seen at the beginning of the conflict. Cooper then focused on the Hormuz chokepoint, stating that U.S. forces had " destroyed intelligence support sites and missile radar relays " along the critical waterway that the IRGC used to monitor commercial shipping traffic and conduct targeting operations. " Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz has been degraded as a result. And we will not stop pursuing these targets ," Cooper noted.

Key Points Oracle established itself as a critical provider of cloud infrastructure services purpose-built for hyperscale workloads. The company's capital expenditures (capex) are accelerating rapidly, diminishing free-cash-flow generation. Despite the enormous capital outlays required for AI infrastructure, Oracle's earnings are growing at historic levels. 10 stocks we like better than Oracle › When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscalers, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is often overshadowed by its cloud services counterparts: Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon. While the "Magnificent Seven" members get most of Wall Street's attention, Oracle has quietly built an impressive AI empire of its own over the last few years. During the company's fiscal third quarter (ended Feb. 28), Oracle's revenue and earnings both grew at least 20%. This is the first time the company has achieved such growth in 15 years. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » At the center of Oracle's AI narrative is its remaining performance obligations (RPO), which now sit at $553 billion. The question smart investors are asking is whether Oracle really has a tidal wave worth half a trillion dollars waiting to come through its doors, or if this figure is a lofty moonshot. Below, I'll break down Oracle's role in AI to help investors understand what's fueling the company's backlog. From there, a deep dive into the company's most recent earnings report should reveal whether Oracle stock is poised for explosive growth. How is Oracle involved in AI? Rather than building generative AI models and chatbots, Oracle has established itself as a critical enabler of AI infrastructure. The company's roots in enterprise applications provide it with a natural advantage: Large corporations have a history of trusting Oracle with sensitive ...

Broadcom ( AVGO ), Dell Technologies ( DELL ) and Target ( TGT ) were among the companies that witnessed insider transactions this week.

Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. Li Auto’s updated fair value estimate has been cut from US$24.43 to US$22.16, roughly a 9% reset that reflects how the analyst model has shifted. This move aligns with recent Street commentary, where targets now cluster in the mid to high teens and low 20s as views differ on execution, margins, and how quickly near term headwinds may ease. Below, you will see how these pricing signals and research notes can help you track the evolving Li Auto narrative and what to watch next. Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Li Auto. What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways Piper Sandler lifted its Li Auto price target to US$19 from US$18 in early January while keeping a Neutral stance, reflecting a view that the shares still warrant mid to high teens pricing even as the firm flags broader auto sector pressures. Freedom Capital cut its target to US$25 from US$34 but kept a Buy rating, signaling that, despite a mixed quarter and a weaker near term outlook, the firm still sees support for a valuation above many peers that sit closer to the mid teens. 🐻 Bearish Takeaways Goldman Sachs moved to Neutral from Buy and trimmed its target to US$19 from US$24 after Q4, highlighting expectations for two quarters of widening net profit losses, lackluster volume, and depressed vehicle margins tied to limited new model launches, higher raw material and memory costs, and a higher mix of the lower margin i6. JPMorgan, which already carries an Underweight rating, recently nudged its target up to US$15.50 from US$14, keeping Li Auto toward the lower end of the current target range and reinforcing a more cautious stance on execution and growth relative to other coverage.

Over the past ten years, Nvidia (NVDA 3.17%) turned a $10,000 investment into more than $2 million. Soaring sales of discrete GPUs for PC gaming, video editing, cryptocurrency mining, and AI applications drove that life-changing gain. Today, it generates most of its revenue from its data center GPUs, which process AI tasks more efficiently than CPUs. But could Nvidia turn a fresh $10,000 investment into $1 million again by the end of this decade? Let's review its upcoming catalysts and challenges to make a decision. How fast did Nvidia grow over the past decade? From fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2026 (which ended this January), Nvidia's revenue and net income increased at CAGRs of 45% and 69%, respectively. Today, it controls more than 90% of the discrete GPU market, while its top rival, AMD (AMD 1.94%), holds a single-digit share. Most of the world's top AI companies -- including OpenAI, Microsoft (MSFT 1.92%), and Alphabet's (GOOG 2.25%) (GOOGL 2.01%) Google -- use Nvidia's GPUs. Nvidia has also maintained that lead with its Turing (2019), Ampere (2020), Hopper (2022), and Blackwell (2024) chip architectures. It plans to launch its next chip architecture, Rubin, this year. Moreover, Nvidia locks in its clients through its proprietary software platform and other services. That stickiness reinforces its dominance of the data center GPU market, and its pricing power boosted its gross margins from 56.1% in fiscal 2016 to 71.1% in fiscal 2026.

Recent geopolitical events have sent shock waves through energy markets. Investors have watched the price of oil rise as high as $119 per barrel in some markets, while energy infrastructure assets in the Middle East have been targeted in attacks. The Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil flows, is effectively closed as I write this. All of this uncertainty could fundamentally change how decision-makers think about meeting energy needs, and that could be great news for the nuclear industry and the leading pure-play nuclear energy stock, Cameco (CCJ 4.46%). Cameco's long-term growth prospects The company recently signed a long-term agreement to supply the government of India's Department of Atomic Energy with uranium ore concentrate in a contract worth $2.6 billion. It's the sort of deal that highlights Cameco's multifaceted role in supporting the nuclear industry. Its uranium mines in Canada and Kazakhstan provide uranium to nuclear utilities worldwide. Its fuel services segment processes uranium for use in nuclear reactors, with its Blind River refinery in Ontario, Canada, being the world's largest commercial uranium refinery. Finally, it owns a 49% stake in Westinghouse Electric Company, a leading manufacturer of nuclear technology and a provider of aftermarket products and services to nuclear power utilities. If recent events prompt faster policy shifts toward nuclear energy, Cameco stands to benefit. A more positive trading environment Given that many Asian countries heavily rely on LNG and oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz and emanating from the countries under attack by Iran (attacks that could lead to lasting infrastructural damage and make them unwilling to buy energy from the region), this could encourage more investment by them in nuclear energy.

Tesla, Inc. wants to do it all. But the next robotaxi network may not belong to a single company. Instead, it's starting to look like a stack. Nvidia Corp is bringing the AI brains. Lucid Group, Inc. is building the vehicles. And Uber Technologies, Inc. already owns the riders. Put together, that's a full-fledged autonomous ecosystem—without the need for vertical integration. The Robotaxi Model Is Splitting In Two For years, Tesla's strategy has been clear: control the entire stack—hardware, software, network. But a different model is now emerging. Don't Miss: Nvidia's push into autonomous systems is moving beyond chips into full-stack AI platforms, while Lucid is positioning its upcoming midsize vehicles—and even its Lunar robotaxi concept—for scalable deployment. Layer Uber on top, and the missing piece—distribution—is already solved. This isn't a pilot phase. It's a modular buildout. Nvidia Brings The Brains, Lucid The Hardware Autonomous vehicles aren't just about sensors anymore. They require real-time inference, continuous updates, and massive compute behind the scenes.

This Startup Says It's Possible Lucid, meanwhile, is leaning into efficiency and platform design—building vehicles that are autonomy-ready from the ground up, not retrofitted later. Its discussions with Uber around deploying midsize vehicles at scale signal that this isn't theoretical. It's heading toward real-world rollout. Uber Solves The Hardest Problem: Demand Autonomous strategies don't usually fail on technology. They fail on distribution. Uber doesn't need to build cars or chips—it already has global demand. With millions of users and an existing ride network, it becomes the deployment engine for any autonomy stack plugged into it. And that changes the game.

China has announced major discoveries of various critical minerals, including rare earths and fluorite, bolstering its reserves of the resources essential for the hi-tech, new energy and defence industries. At the Maoniuping mine in Sichuan province’s Mianning county, authorities announced the discovery of 9.7 million tonnes of rare earth oxides, bringing the site’s total proven reserves to 10.4 million tonnes, state news agency Xinhua reported on Friday. Surveys also revealed 27.1 million tonnes of fluorite and 37.2 million tonnes of baryte, qualifying the site as a “super-large” deposit for both minerals. Advertisement The deposits tighten China’s grip over the production of rare earths – a group of 17 elements vital for technologies ranging from smartphones and electric vehicles to weapons and spacecraft. But while rare earths often grab attention, the fluorite and baryte finds were the truly “stunning” discoveries, Wang Denghong, director of the Institute of Mineral Resources at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, told Xinhua. Advertisement Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, is a critical mineral used in the semiconductor and lithium-ion battery industries. Baryte, meanwhile, is a crucial weighting agent in oil and gas drilling, where it is used for well stabilisation and blowout control. “Without baryte, oil and gas exploration and production would grind to a halt, and the extraction of shale oil and gas would be out of the question,” Wang said.

When Apple Inc. introduced a wave of new hardware earlier this month, it was the $599 MacBook Neo — the company’s cheapest laptop to date — that soaked up most of the attention. But Apple hit that low price by sacrificing a handful of features that MacBook buyers have come to expect — and shown a willingness to pay extra for. For those who want more, the company also rolled out an upgraded MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M5-series chips, as well as two desk monitors. The new collection is off to a fast start: Apple recorded its “best launch week ever” for first-time Mac buyers, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said on Friday . To be clear, these are mostly incremental updates: The new laptops look the same from the outside as previous generations. Still, for people in the market for a higher-end notebook, they deliver faster performance, serving as yet another showcase of how rapidly Apple’s in-house silicon has evolved. The new Studio Display XDR, meanwhile, is a one-of-a-kind product aimed at creative professionals and enthusiasts who crave the best visual fidelity and color accuracy. Each of these products has a distinct audience. I’ve been testing several of them over the past week, and here’s what you need to know about the new hardware and who should consider buying it. MacBook Air (M5) Apple’s original M1 MacBook Air marked a revelation in battery life and performance per watt when it debuted in 2020. And for many people, that laptop is probably still working perfectly fine. But if you missed out on the redesigned Air that debuted with the M2 revision two years later, it’s been long enough that you’ll certainly notice a difference by upgrading to the M5. The price of entry has gone up to $1,099 for the 13-inch Air and $1,299 for the larger 15-inch size, though the new model at least includes more starting storage (512 gigabytes) to help make up for that. The Air remains the right pick for most consumers who simply want a great Apple laptop that will last man...

Welcome to The Brink . I’m Dipika Lalwani , a reporter in Singapore, where I followed India’s SP Group, which is planning its debut dollar bond sale after borrowing locally at yields near 20%. We also have news on Air Baltic, ION Group and a whiskey maker backed by Jay-Z. Follow this link to subscribe . Send us feedback and tips at debtnews@bloomberg.net . Dollar Debut India’s Shapoorji Pallonji Group , one of the country’s largest private credit borrowers, is racing against time to refinance a significant portion of its debt due at the end of April. As the deadline approaches, the conglomerate is considering making a debut on the dollar bond market . The company faces a maturity of $2.5 billion in rupee-denominated debt at its Goswami Infratech unit, offered at a yield of 18.75%. While liquidity in India’s domestic credit market is ample and existing creditors are willing to roll over the debt, that support comes at a price. Borrowing costs have risen globally, with credit spreads widening amid the Iran War. The conflict has sent the price of oil soaring, sparked inflation concerns and made refinancing more expensive, even for companies whose operations aren’t directly impacted by it. The real estate and construction conglomerate is no stranger to costly borrowing. Last year, it raised the country’s largest-ever private credit deal, securing $3.4 billion at a steep yield of 19.75% — that transaction continues to shape investor expectations around its credit profile. Against this backdrop, SP Group has initiated discussions with investors about potentially issuing dollar bonds while selling locally denominated debt at the same time. Some of Goswami’s largest creditors include Cerberus Capital Management , Varde Partners , Davidson Kempner Capital Management and Deutsche Bank . The company’s refinancing strategy is driven by its cost of capital rather than a lack of liquidity. A dual-market approach could allow SP Group to measure investor appetite across geographies...

watch now VIDEO 4:41 04:41 SEC Commissioner Peirce weighs in on levered ETFs, tokenization and new products The Exchange SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce is indicating an openness to work with Wall Street on emerging exchange-traded fund products tied to cryptocurrencies and tokenization. "We want to work with people on new products," Peirce said during an exclusive interview this week with " ETF Edge " host Dominic Chu. "It really is a come in and talk to us about what you're trying to do. We want to work with you toward being able to experiment to see whether the market wants your products." Peirce joined CNBC from the VettaFi's Exchange 2026 conference in Las Vegas. "I'm here because this is such an important segment of what we regulate," she said. When asked about tokenization of financial instruments, Peirce said interest has picked up. "It's not the SEC's job to decide... how the market moves forward," she said. "But tokenization is one of those areas that since the administration changed and since the attitude toward crypto and blockchain changed, people have come to us and they've said, 'We really think tokenization has potential here.'" Peirce also alluded to the regulation priorities as retail investor accessibility to new ETFs improves. "We want to do it [work with issuers] in a way that respects investor protection," Peirce said. "It's not our job to say which products are good or bad. It is our job to work with sponsors to make sure that they're disclosing what those products are, what the risks are [and] what they're intended to be used for."

As people approach retirement, one of the more pressing questions is when they should claim Social Security benefits. For some people, the answer is straightforward because they need the money as soon as possible. For others, the decision is less clear-cut because they have greater financial flexibility and could reasonably survive without the benefits. If you find yourself in the latter group, there's one particular number I'd know before making a Social Security claiming decision: your break-even age. Knowing this number will give you more perspective on which decision best fits your personal situation and plans. How your claiming age affects your Social Security benefit Your full retirement age is when you're eligible to receive your base monthly Social Security (called your primary insurance amount), but you're free to begin claiming benefits at age 62 or delay claiming benefits past your full retirement age. Claiming benefits before your full retirement age reduces your primary insurance amount by 5/9 of 1% monthly, up to 36 months. Each additional month after that further reduces benefits by 5/12 of 1% monthly. If your full retirement age is 67 (anyone born in 1960 or later), here's how much your monthly benefit would be reduced based on your claiming age: Age 66: 6.6% Age 65: 13.33% Age 64: 20% Age 63: 25% Age 62: 30% Delaying benefits past your full retirement age will increase them by 2/3 of 1% monthly (8% annually) until you turn 70 years old. After that point, delaying benefits no longer increases them. How your break-even age works in Social Security In Social Security, your break-even age is when the total lifetime benefits from claiming at one age equals the total from claiming at another age. To see it in action, let's assume your PIA is $2,000 and you're debating whether to claim benefits at 62 or at your full retirement age (67). By claiming at 62, your monthly benefit would be reduced to $1,400, but you'd receive benefits for 60 months before reach...

The Ministry of Defence has condemned Iranian strikes directed towards a US-UK military base on the island of Diego Garcia. Iran fired the missiles after warning that British lives were “in danger” after Keir Starmer authorised the US to carry out further strikes from British bases. Tehran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the Chagos island but neither hit, the Iranian news agency Mehr reported. One of the missiles was shot down by a US warship, while the other failed in flight, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple officials. The Ministry of Defence, which described US use of British bases as “limited and defensive” in nature, called the attacks “reckless”. A spokesperson said: “Iran’s reckless attacks, lashing out across the region and holding hostage the strait of Hormuz, are a threat to British interests and British allies. “RAF jets and other UK military assets are continuing to defend our people and personnel in the region. “This government has given permission to the US to use British bases for specific and limited defensive operations.” Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos Islands, is about 3,800km (2,360 miles) from Iran and home to an airbase capable of accommodating long-range US bombers. The island has been at the centre of a political row after the UK agreed to cede sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius and lease back the base. Ministers gave the US permission to strike Iranian missile sites targeting the strait of Hormuz from UK bases including Diego Garcia on Friday afternoon. Previously, UK bases were being used only to strike Iranian sites targeting British allies and interests in Gulf states. Iran reacted angrily, with its foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, claiming it would “exercise its right to self-defence”. Posting on X, he said: “Vast majority of the British People do not want any part in the Israel-US war of choice on Iran. “Ignoring his own People, Mr Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK ba...
