Alphotographic The U.S. dollar was down on Monday, as investors assessed easing geopolitical tensions and improving risk sentiment following developments in the Middle East. The dollar index ( DXY ), which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, was last down 0.53% to $99.12 but remains up about 0.8% for the year to date. Dollar weekly moves and key drivers: Over the past week, the index slipped 0.25%, with the U.S. dollar initially supported by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that drove a surge in oil prices and raised concerns over supply disruptions. Graphical Representation (SeekingAlpha) The resulting risk-off sentiment and elevated energy costs underpinned the greenback, as markets also weighed the potential for the inflationary shock to keep central banks cautious on easing. However, the trend shifted at the start of the week, with the dollar weakening after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would delay planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, easing fears of further supply disruptions. The announcement triggered a sharp decline in oil prices and a rebound in global equities, reducing safe-haven demand for the dollar. Uncertainty persisted as Iranian officials denied any direct talks , leaving investors cautious about the durability of the developments even as broader risk sentiment improved. Gold also saw sharp moves during the period, falling significantly despite geopolitical tensions before stabilizing as markets reacted to shifting risk sentiment. During the period, global markets were influenced by developments surrounding U.S.-Iran tensions, sharp swings in energy prices, movements in gold , and shifts in broader risk sentiment. U.S. Treasury yields trended higher overall, with the 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) rising 10 basis points to 4.34% over the week, while the 2-year yield ( US2Y ) rose 17 basis points to 3.86%.

English and Welsh winemakers have reported a sharp rise in production, after the hot, dry summer in 2025 and an increase in vineyard planting resulted in the third-largest UK harvest. The equivalent of 16.5m bottles were produced across the UK last year – or 124,377 hectolitres – according to figures from the wine regulator, the Food Standards Agency (FSA). This represents a 55% increase on the volumes produced a year earlier, the result of favourable growing conditions throughout the season that delivered good fruit quality and yields not seen for many years. It followed a sharp fall in 2024, when production halved to 10.7m bottles after high rainfall caused more disease in the grape crop. Volumes in 2025 were still below the 21.6m produced in 2023, which was widely considered a bumper year. Last year’s harvest saw a particularly large increase in white wine production, which was up by more than 131% compared with 2024. Nicola Bates, the chief executive of the industry body, WineGB, said: “We take great optimism from the quality and scale of the 2025 vintage and recognise the considerable skill and hard work from viticulturalists and winemakers in bringing in the UK’s third largest harvest.” Grape yields tend to vary by region. Producers in north-west England and Wales had predicted a good harvest, while growers in the south-east of England, the UK’s biggest wine region, expected it to be below average. Some of the UK’s largest producers, including Nyetimber in West Sussex, predicted that production would not reach record levels in 2025 because its vines needed more time to recover from the cool, damp conditions of the previous year. Gusborne in Kent said its harvest had been lower than average because of a lack of rain. There was a 4% increase in vineyards registered with the FSA to 1,158, the vast majority of them commercial operators rather than hobbyists. The FSA is responsible for inspecting vineyards and enforcing wine regulations in England and Wales, meanin...

The top 500 secondary schools take in half as many disadvantaged pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) as the average comprehensive, in what is believed may be a deliberate strategy to boost grades and improve finances. New research from the Sutton Trust has found that pupils with Send, and especially those who also come from a low-income background, are significantly less likely to attend top state schools, even if there is one in their local area. The top schools for attainment take in half as many disadvantaged pupils with Send as the average comprehensive, and 36% fewer than live in their catchment area, polling shows. Nick Harrison, chief executive of the Sutton Trust, said: “It’s appalling that many of the top-performing schools take in a lower proportion of Send pupils than live in their catchment area. “This amounts to further social segregation of the school system, and risks entrenching the double disadvantage faced by low-income families whose children also have Send needs. “In many cases, schools appear to be actively discouraging applications from Send pupils. “But we should recognise the tangled web of assessments and incentives, and long-term underfunding, that prevent school leaders taking bolder action on inclusivity. “This must change if the government is to deliver on its ambition to create more inclusive schools.” The Sutton Trust’s polling of more than 2,200 primary and secondary school leaders suggests that many believe schools are deploying a deliberate strategy to control their intakes, with 41% of those leaders thinking that some schools actively discourage applications from pupils with Send – rising to 50% of leaders in schools with the highest proportion of Send pupils. School leaders thought differing reputations for Send provision (63%) and inclusivity (55%) also played a major role in recruitment, while a third (32%) thought parent’s perceptions of a school’s approach to behaviour explained different intakes of p...

Buyers of new homes are likely to be shackled to high gas prices for years to come, as the government has delayed bringing into force new regulations on low-carbon housing. Most newly built homes will come equipped with solar panels and heat pumps from March 2028, according to updated regulations for England called the “future homes standard” (FHS), but the government has relented on plans for more stringent rules under pressure from housebuilders. A loophole in the regulations that allows for wood-burning stoves in new homes could also help to scupper plans for homes to be fully carbon-free. Under the “future homes standard”, to be published by the government on Tuesday, homes built from 2028 will produce 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than those built according to existing 2013 standards. Housing experts said some of the remaining 25% of emissions was likely to be accounted for by wood-burning stoves, which are highly polluting and are not carbon-neutral in the short or medium term, but which will be allowed in new homes. Houses should be equipped with solar panels equivalent to 40% of the ground-floor area of the building, but there will be exceptions that will mean builders can get away with installing less. The government also said “plug-in” solar panels that can be installed on balconies or outdoor space, which are commonly used in Germany but had been banned in Britain, would become available to buy in the UK within months. The delay in bringing in the FHS, which was expected to come into force next year, is also likely to mean hundreds of thousands of new homes will be built with gas heating, despite soaring costs caused by the Iran war. Last year, data from the MCS Foundation, a charity that certifies low-carbon installations, showed only 4,000 new-build homes were equipped with low-carbon electric heat pumps, out of about 140,000 homes. Jan Rosenow, a professor of energy at the University of Oxford, told the Guardian: “It is outrageous that people will ...

Tehran denied negotiations that delayed US strikes and Trump was vague on the details, but talks signal renewed push for peace from regional powers Middle East crisis – live updates There have been so many abortive rounds of diplomacy between the US and Iran – the latest appearing to be led by Pakistan after Washington has burned through many other regional mediators – that it was hardly a surprise that President Trump’s claims of “very good” talks with Tehran initially provoked disbelief – especially after Iran denied that any negotiations were taking place at all. Nonetheless, standing beside Air Force One, Trump did his best to sell the sudden detente with little detail as a US ultimatum to bomb Iran’s power plants loomed unless Tehran opened up the strait of Hormuz. It was lost on few that the sudden about-face came just hours before US markets were to open for what promised to be another punishing round of trading on Monday. Continue reading...

The UK government has dismissed a warning from an energy trade body that failing to produce more homegrown North Sea oil and gas will leave the UK increasingly reliant on imports at a time of rising global instability. The industry group, Offshore Energies UK, has said the UK “urgently” needs a greater supply of domestically produced energy or consumers will be left “more exposed to global volatility and higher emissions”. The warning came as the war in the Middle East entered its fourth week. The escalating conflict has triggered the biggest oil and gas supply shock in the history of the market and caused UK gas prices to more than double in under a month. But the industry’s call for more support to help slow the decline of the North Sea as a provider of energy was rebuffed by the government. A spokesperson said: “Issuing new licences to explore new fields cannot give us energy security and will not take a penny off bills.” They added: “Regardless of where it comes from, oil and gas is sold on international markets, which set the price for British billpayers – making us a price taker. The only way to truly protect ourselves from these price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets.” The decline of the North Sea oil and gas basin means that the UK’s reliance on gas imports – which are sourced from countries including the US and Qatar – is likely to increase sharply from about 14% last year to more than a quarter of its gas supply by 2030, and almost half by 2035, it said. The group’s flagship annual report added that the UK will continue to use oil and gas for decades to come and sourcing this from the North Sea gas would have a lower emissions footprint than importing liquified natural gas on super-chilled tankers from overseas. David Whitehouse, the chief executive of OEUK, said: “Recent events have shown how quickly energy markets can tighten and how easily cargoes can be diverted away from the UK when other buyers bid higher. Energy security...

It has been a book, a play and a film. It has also spawned three sequels, a prequel and two soundtrack albums. Now, Irvine Welsh’s 1993 debut novel Trainspotting is to find new life as a musical. Opening at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London in July, Trainspotting the Musical will be adapted by the author with an original set of songs, plus others that were used in Danny Boyle’s celebrated film. “It wasn’t the most obvious book to be successful,” said Welsh. “And it wasn’t the most obvious movie or stage play to be successful. It’s confounded expectations – especially my own.” If the story of four friends who scam tourists, sign on and take heroin in the dark days of Edinburgh’s needle-sharing crisis sounds unlikely material for a West End show, the novelist points to the serious content of musicals such as West Side Story, Oliver! and Rent. View image in fullscreen ‘My favourite musical is White Christmas – I cry every time’ … Irvine Welsh. Photograph: Zoe Law He hoped this musical would avoid the pitfalls of other adaptations: “There are so many shows in the West End that are either stage plays with music perfunctorily thrown in or nostalgia pieces with unrelated music from the times. The only way I could see a Trainspotting musical work is if we could write our own songs that moved it along as a proper piece of musical theatre.” That became possible when Welsh formed a musical partnership with Stephen McGuinness. The pair released a soul- and disco-infused companion album to Welsh’s 2025 novel Men in Love and reckoned they could explore a similar range of genres in Trainspotting. They will collaborate on the music and lyrics. The musical will also feature selected songs from the soundtrack of the film: rights are still being negotiated but Welsh admitted it would feel strange if it did not include Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life. He said he was not a big fan of musicals, but did have his soft spots: “When I was a kid, I went to see Oliver! eight times on holiday in B...

Amazon.com Inc. and supermarket chain Lidl are working with the UK government to clear the way to sell plug-in solar panels for the first time. In response to the conflict in Iran, which sent fossil fuel prices soaring, the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero pledged to make it easier for consumers to install solar panels. Plug-in panels are already widely available across other parts of Europe and can be installed in gardens, on walls or balconies. On Tuesday, DESNZ said the panels would be available in the UK “within months” and that it is working with Lidl, Amazon and panel maker EcoFlow. Read more: European Consumers Seek Out Solar, EVs as Energy Prices Surge The UK’s cap on energy prices is expected to surge 20% to almost £2,000 ($2,676) in July, heaping pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to soften the blow on consumers before it lands. The government has said it’s weighing various options to help lower-income households cope with higher costs. The panels could help cut electricity bills as they can be directly connected to the mains power within a home. The technology would particularly benefit people living in rented homes, said Lorna Wallace-Smith, a spokesperson for EcoFlow. The government said it will also work with network operators and regulator Ofgem to update codes and wiring regulations to allow households to use plug-in solar panels without the need for an electrician and with tailored safety standards. “Updating the regulatory landscape for this ‘plug-and-play’ technology is a positive step toward empowering British households to manage their energy costs and support the nation’s net-zero ambitions,” said Georgina Hall, Corporate Affairs Director at Lidl GB. The government also confirmed that the long-awaited Future Homes Standard would come into force on Tuesday, requiring most new homes to be built with on-site solar panels or other renewable energy generation.

In earthquake-prone Japan, 20 seconds could make a difference in minimising loss of life among train passengers who experience traumatic shaking during a major seismic event. The operator of the Shinkansen line between Osaka and Fukuoka in southern Japan is upgrading its earthquake early warning system to give trains operating at speeds of up to 300km/h (186 miles/h) an additional 20 seconds to slow down and avert catastrophe in an area that experts warn could be hit by a megaquake at any moment. In a statement issued last week, the West Japan Railway Company said it had been working with the Railway Technical Research Institute and the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention and that its existing earthquake detection system would be upgraded from April 1. Advertisement JR West is linking its warning system to the Nankai Trough Submarine Earthquake and Tsunami Observation Network, also known as N-net, a 1,640 fibre-optic cable network completed in June on the seabed off Shikoku and the eastern seaboard of Kyushu. The US$120-million project was designed to fill a gap in seismic monitoring in the area, as concerns have grown about the inevitability of a massive earthquake in the Nankai Trough, which spans 900km (559 miles) parallel to the south coast from Suruga Bay in the east to Kyushu in the west. Advertisement Alerts are automatically sent out when monitoring equipment detects the primary wave of a quake, which moves faster and causes less damage than secondary waves, giving a few crucial seconds’ warning. That information will now be shared with trains.

The UK could produce nearly twice as much oil and gas over the next 25 years from its aging North Sea basin compared to current projections, if fiscal and regulatory regimes change, according to an industry lobby group. The UK can unlock an additional 3.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent across 111 projects if the government revises its licensing approach, scraps a controversial windfall tax and replaces it with a permanent price-triggered mechanism sooner rather than waiting until March 2030, according to Offshore Energies UK’s annual Business Outlook Report. Within about a year of removing the windfall tax and licensing barriers, “there will be an immediate uptick” in production, Ben Ward, market intelligence manager at OEUK, told reporters. “Significant benefits come after two, three, four years.” British oil and gas companies are intensifying their calls for reforms as the Middle East conflict, now in its fourth week, highlights energy supply vulnerabilities and the nation’s exposure to geopolitical shocks. The UK relies on imported energy for around 40% of its total energy needs. Earlier this month, as the Iran war pushed up commodities prices, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves backtracked on plans to scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas producers. The Energy Profits Levy — introduced by the previous Conservative government after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drove up energy prices in 2022 — has since been extended and increased several times, pushing the headline tax rate to 78%. The Labour Party also remains committed to its 2024 manifesto not to issue any new exploration licenses. In the reform scenario, more than a third of the additional reserves and resources — around 1.3 billion barrels — would come from gas projects. According to the report, this could reduce the UK’s reliance on LNG imports to 6% of gas supply by 2035, compared with 46% without any changes. Overall, the 111 projects — infill wells, enhanced oil recovery, and new fields and ...

Extension of dosing interval: Approximately 86% of participants in the IBI302 8 mg group achieved a dosing interval of Q12W or above during the maintenance period; 72.8% of participants achieved a dosing interval of Q16W . At Week 52, approximately 95% of the participants receiving the Q12/16W dosing maintained their interval without requiring retreatment. Furthermore, 56.3% of the participants showed no disease activity at Week 24, demonstrating the potential to extend the dosing interval to Q20W. Visual acuity improvement non-inferior to aflibercept: The study met the primary endpoint. At Week 52, the least squares mean estimate (SE) of the mean BCVA change from baseline in the IBI302 8 mg and aflibercept 2 mg groups was 10.37 (0.547) and 10.11 (0.545) ETDRS letters, respectively. STAR (NCT05972473) is a Phase 3 clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IB302 8 mg in Chinese participants with nAMD. A total of 600 participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the IBI302 8 mg group and the aflibercept 2 mg group. Both groups received 3 loading doses administered every 4 weeks. After the completion of the loading doses, participants in the IBI302 8 mg group were administered at Q16W, Q12W, or Q8W intervals based on the disease activity assessment at Weeks 16 and 20. Participants in the aflibercept 2 mg group completed the subsequent treatment at Q8W intervals. The study lasts for 100 weeks, and the primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the study eye at Week 52. The randomization stratification factors in this study were: the presence or absence of Type 2 choroidal neovascularization (CNV) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the study eye, and whether the study eye had previously received anti-VEGF treatment.
