DogoraSun/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Intercontinental Exchange's ( ICE ) New York Stock Exchange and Securitize will work together to develop tokenized securities markets , furthering NYSE's plan to develop a 24/7 trading platform for tokenized U.S.-listed equities and ETFs, the companies said on Tuesday. Securitize was named the first digital transfer agent eligible to mint blockchain-native securities for corporate or ETF issuers in the yet-to-be-created NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform, or Digital Trading Platform. Under a memorandum of understanding between the two companies, NYSE plans to partner with Securitize as a premier design partner in the development of a digital transfer agent program that's designed to support on-chain settlement of tokenized security transactions. The move comes a day after exchange rival Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) announced a partnership with Talos to develop an integrated system for managing tokenized collateral. Last week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a Nasdaq proposal to permit certain stocks to be traded and settled in tokenized form. In January, the NYSE said it's seeking regulatory approvals for a 24/7 tokenized securities platform, which will enable instant settlement, orders sized in dollar amounts, and stablecoin-based funding. Under the MOU, the companies also plan to jointly develop standards for digital transfer agents and tokenization agents participating in the digital system, with a focus on establishing regulatory, operational, and technology requirements for "As we explore how tokenization can enhance capital markets, it is critical that new infrastructure is developed in a way that preserves the trust, transparency, and protections investors expect," said NYSE Group President Lynn Martin. "Securitize brings deep experience in digital asset infrastructure and transfer agency, making them a strong partner in helping design this next generation of market structure." As part of the broa...

Expand Energy Corp. and EQT Corp. are trying to displace traders that act as middlemen so the biggest US natural gas drillers can reap bigger profits from their output. Expand has increased its staff of marketers and related positions by 50% to 60 in the past year to strike more supply deals with end users that have typically relied on trading houses and other middlemen. The largest domestic gas producer also is shifting corporate headquarters to Houston from Oklahoma City to be closer to potential customers. The new hires have included marketer and researchers tasked with signing supply agreements with smaller regional markets, rather than selling gas into larger hubs where a tier of middlemen often close the gap with utilities, manufacturers and other end users, said Interim Chief Executive Officer Michael Wichertich . Expand plans to continue growing the team as its works to expand into Southeast markets and increase utilization of underground storage to capture seasonal arbitrages, Wichterich said during an interview at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston. He acknowledged that long-term agreements with regional hubs carries some risk because demand may not materialize when and where expected. But Expand’s broad footprint provides a market-intelligence advantage that will help it trade more effectively than some competitors, he noted. “We’re seeing the flow of real data and real customers because I know when my wells are on and when they’re off,” Wichterich said. “If something goes down, I probably know about it before everybody else.” Read More: Expand CEO Steps Down as Gas Producer Plans Houston Move As for EQT, the company is pursuing more long-term deals with power plants and LNG exporters, as well as focusing more on reducing pipeline-transportation costs, CEO Toby Rice said.

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images 2025 marked the beginning of the end of U.S. market exceptionalism, with a weaker dollar and steeper yield curves likely as global investors reassess American assets, Lazard strategist Ron Temple said. In an interview with CNBC, Temple warned that investors should consider reducing their allocations to U.S. equities in favor of markets that have been hit harder, such as Japanese and emerging market equities. Temple emphasized the critical importance of the bond market, noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has repeatedly stated it is the administration’s primary focus. “The bond market really does end up being kind of the critical market to watch because the effects of higher bond yields emanate out through the rest of the economy and all other asset markets,” Temple explained. The strategist pointed to dramatic increases in short-term bond yields since late February, with U.S. two-year yields ( US2Y ) rising 50 basis points and UK yields surging nearly 100 basis points. He noted that markets had been expecting rate cuts, but those expectations have now been removed from the table, causing yield curves to flatten across developed markets. Looking ahead, Temple forecasts that yield curves will steepen due to mounting fiscal pressures, including higher defense spending by NATO, military expenditure in the Middle East, and persistent U.S. deficits. “In my expectation in the US, six and a half to 8% of GDP deficits every year for the next decade,” he said, adding that this will eventually become a negative for equity markets. Temple also expressed concern about the dollar’s eroding safe-haven status. While the currency initially rose during recent geopolitical tensions, gains have already started to fade. “I think we’re gonna look back at 2025 and say that was the beginning of the end of American exceptionalism in markets,” he concluded. On energy prices, Temple noted that gasoline futures have nearly doubled from $1.70 per gallon at th...

Dollarama (DLAF) delivered solid top-line growth and modest EPS expansion despite a shorter quarter and weather headwinds, with a meaningful incremental contribution from the newly acquired Australian business. The Canadian retailer reported Q4 sales were up 11.7% to about $2.10B for the quarter that ended on February 1, driven by a $243M sales contribution from 402 Australian stores, continued Canadian store expansion, and positive Canadian comparable store sales. In Canada, same-store sales grew 1.5%, reflecting a 1.6% decline in traffic and a 3.1% increase in basket size, with performance supported by strong seasonal demand but constrained by adverse weather and calendar shifts that reduced traffic during key selling weeks. The same-store sales mark missed the consensus expectation of 2.8%. EPS improved 2.1% from a year ago to $1.43, including a $0.03 benefit from Australia. Gross margin came in at 45.5% of sales, down from 46.8% a year ago, mainly due to a lower margin in Australia, while SG&A rose to 15.4% of sales from 14.7%, largely on higher Australian operating costs. Dollarama ( DLMAF ) opened 7 net new Canadian stores plus 1 new Australian store during the quarter. Looking ahead, the Montreal-based retailer set full-year same-store sales guidance at 3% to 4% after reporting full-year same-store sales growth of 4.2% for the fiscal year that just concluded. Dollarama ( DLMAF ) is planning to open 60 to 70 new stores in Canada. "In fiscal 2027, we will continue pursuing disciplined profitable growth in our core Canadian market while executing on our priorities across our complementary growth platforms," updated CEO Neil Rossy.

West Ham’s 1970s striker gets due respect with a stellar lineup of talking heads in a film that explores the wider implications of racism in football It may seem as, if in the streaming era, every conceivable football story has already been told. But that’s clearly not the case: here is an uplifting film that has important things to say about racism and empowerment in the game via the life story of Clyde Best, the barnstorming West Ham striker from the early 1970s. Best’s pioneering status as one of English elite football’s first black players is reasonably well-known – but not, of course, as well-known as it should be, which this film sets out to remedy. As well as, of course, the respect he is due for his pathfinder role for succeeding generations of black footballers in the UK. No doubt that fact is behind the stellar lineup of talking heads who appear on camera to acknowledge the significance of Best’s career, from West Ham contemporaries including Geoff Hurst and Harry Redknapp to those who followed in Best’s tracks, like Viv Anderson, John Barnes, Les Ferdinand, Shaka Hislop and Garth Crooks. Anyone with hazy memories of Best thundering around the pitch from early 1970s editions of Match of the Day will be interested to learn of his remarkable journey to London from Bermuda as a 17-year-old for what was effectively a one-off trial session, after which he was signed by future England manager Ron Greenwood (who, in truth, comes out of this film pretty well). Best says he was quickly accepted by his West Ham teammates, but elsewhere it was less pretty; he found himself at the sharp end of some virulent racism in the post-imperial Enoch Powell 1970s, and it’s sobering to realise that when Alf Garnett yells gruesome abuse from the football terraces, it’s basically Best he is shouting at.

Our roster of experts explain what makes the best chopping board, and give tips on how to care for them I saw an influencer advocating for titanium chopping boards. Are they really the way to go? If not, which material is best? My wooden one has some black mould. Lenka, by email “From the off, no!” says Itamar Srulovich, whose latest cookbook, Honey & Co Daily , co-authored by Sarit Packer, is published later this spring. “The technology of chopping boards works, it’s bulletproof – this is criminal!” Sam Clark, co-founder of London’s Moro and Morito , couldn’t agree more: “The idea of chopping on a titanium board, with metal against metal, sends shivers down my spine,” he says. Of course, the surface on which you choose to chop will impact your knife, and for Milli Taylor, who is behind the When in Rome Substack, she “couldn’t imagine anything worse than titanium”. As Hugh Worsley, founder of knife brand Allday Goods , puts it: “Every time you cut, the very fine edge of your knife, which is microscopically thin, meets the chopping surface. If that surface is too hard, it damages the edge, causing it to dull faster.” A titanium board, which has no give, is just going to slowly destroy your knives: “I can see the benefit of it from a cleanliness point of view,” Worsley concedes, but, other than that, “it just makes no sense”.

World Snooker Tour agrees long-term deal with venue 500 seats to be added to the theatre in major revamp Snooker’s world championship will remain at the Crucible for at least the next two decades after the World Snooker Tour agreed a long-term arrangement with the venue to keep the sport’s most prestigious tournament in Sheffield. The future of the event at the 980-seat venue has been in doubt for years, with Matchroom’s president, Barry Hearn, repeatedly hinting the tournament may have to leave its spiritual home in favour of a bigger venue when their previous deal expired next year. As recently as 2024, Hearn said there would need to be a new Crucible built to resist the lure of Saudi Arabia and others. Continue reading...
