Finland put on ice a plan to move its election platform to Amazon Web Services Inc., the latest development in Europe’s drive towards digital autonomy as trust in the US frays. The Nordic country will keep its electoral system running on existing servers in Finland until after the April 2027 general election, according to an emailed statement on Tuesday. The timeout follows a Justice Ministry review of a decision to move to Amazon.com Inc’s cloud-based platform taken in the spring of 2025. “In the past just over a year, the international political situation has changed and the Justice Ministry decided to review the question on how to host the election platform,” it said. The decision on a new platform will be taken at a later stage, it said. While voting in Finland takes place on paper ballots, lists of polling stations, candidates and voters are processed using the system. The system is also used in counting the votes and publication of the results. Read More: Europe’s Tech Independence Takes Center Stage

Mark Zuckerberg. | Image: The Verge | Photo: Bloomberg via Getty Images Two juries are currently deliberating a series of cases that could either usher in a legal reckoning for Meta, or maintain the status quo in an uphill battle to impose changes or penalties on tech platforms in court. Yesterday, a New Mexico jury heard closing arguments in a trial where Meta is accused of facilitating child predators on its platforms - allegations the company vehemently denies. And as soon as today, a Los Angeles jury is tentatively expected to reach a verdict in a separate case, which concerns whether Meta and Google should be held liable for making defective products that addicted a young woman.

Hi, it’s David Carnevali in Houston, where I’m checking the M&A mood among dealmakers attending the CERAWeek energy conference. Also today, Estée Lauder is in talks to acquire the owner of brands including Rabanne and Jean Paul Gaultier. Today’s top stories Trian and General Catalyst raise offer for Janus. Estée Lauder in talks to buy Puig to create beauty giant. Apollo, Bain among bidders for Continental industrial unit. Mideast funds ride China AI euphoria to world-beating IPO gains. Oil split As I run around the buzzy venue of this year’s CERAWeek in downtown Houston, I can’t help thinking how different the world looked the last time I visited the city little more than a month ago. Oil prices were hovering steadily around $60 a barrel, interest rates were on a downward trajectory and stock markets were still in the green. Against that backdrop, shale producer Devon Energy had just agreed to acquire rival Coterra Energy for $21.4 billion in the largest US oil and gas deal since 2024. In the present, war in Iran has upended the global economy and the high-ranking executives, politicians and dealmakers swarming the event are grappling with a new reality: the price of crude is now closer to $100 a barrel, inflationary pressures are forcing central banks to consider changing course on rates and markets face a higher risk of meltdown . Between panels, coffees and a long list of receptions, I’ve been asking advisers eyeing the next big oil and gas deal what the paradigm shift means for M&A in and around Texas. The answer? It’s complicated. Some like Pete Bowden , Jefferies’ global head of industrials, energy and infrastructure investment banking, have seen a boost in activity thanks to a stronger oil price outlook. “M&A dialogue has accelerated amidst the spike in commodity prices,” he told me at CERAWeek by S&P Global, adding that oil will cost $10 to $15 per barrel more than its pre-war level when the situation normalizes. “Oil prices will settle out where they were b...

Angola plans to raise about $2 billion from a eurobond sale, according to people familiar with the matter, betting that higher crude prices driven by the Iran war will boost investor appetite for debt from the oil-rich nation. Africa’s third-largest oil producer said Tuesday it plans to sell the debt to finance its budget and repurchase its outstanding $1.75 billion of 8.25% notes due in 2028. The people asked not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak to the media. Read more: FINAL GUIDANCE: Angola $Benchmark; 7Y 9.375%#, 11Y 9.875%# A finance ministry official declined to comment on the amount the government was planning to raise. The southwestern African nation is seeking to tap renewed demand for resource-linked assets as the US-Israel conflict with Iran disrupts oil supply chains, boosting crude prices and making producers outside the Middle East more attractive to investors. Fuel Crunch From War Threatens South African Wheat, Corn Crops Iran’s Hormuz Blockade Is Helping a Little-Used Kenyan Port Oil at $85 Makes Nigeria a Winner, While Congo Has Most to Lose The buyback plan will depend on the successful completion of the new debt sale on terms acceptable to Angola, it said in a statement. Even if that sale goes ahead, Angola said it isn’t required to purchase any of the bonds tendered. Angola last sold eurobonds in October 2025, raising $1.75 billion in its return to international debt markets after a three-year hiatus. The latest deal comes at a challenging time for emerging-market issuers, with tensions linked to the conflict in Iran roiling global markets and pushing borrowing costs higher. Still, the yield on Angola’s eurobonds due in 2035 was 9.503% as of 1:12 p.m in London, down from 9.566% on Feb. 27, a day before the war in Iran began. Oil prices have surged since the conflict began, rising about 40% amid concerns over supply disruptions and heightened geopolitical risk. The government has offered to purchase the 2028 notes at $1,020...

Russia Halts Ammonium Nitrate Exports As Global Fertilizer Crisis Set To Worsen The fertilizer crisis appears to be worsening just as the Northern Hemisphere planting season, in some areas, is about to begin, with top ammonium nitrate supplier Russia announcing on Tuesday via state media that exports of the critical crop nutrient will be halted. Russia's state-run news agency TASS said Russia will suspend ammonium nitrate exports from March 21 through April 21. The report cited a statement from the Agriculture Ministry. The temporary restriction is intended to secure domestic fertilizer supplies during the spring planting season. Exports made under intergovernmental agreements are exempt. Russia is the world's largest producer of ammonium nitrate. In 2024, the country produced about 12 million tons, roughly 47% of the global output of the plant nutrient. It was also the largest exporter at about 2.7 million tons, around 37% of global export volume and 40% of export value. Data based on IndexBox’s ammonium nitrate world market overview Export disruptions of the critical crop nutrient can hit import-dependent buyers hard, especially in markets such as Brazil, Canada, India, Peru, and Ukraine. Data based on IndexBox’s ammonium nitrate world market overview Russia's temporary export comes at the worst possible timing as the Northern Hemisphere planting season begins in some regions. The risk now is that, as the Middle East conflict enters its fourth week, a global energy shock is also spreading to fertlizer markets and may only suggest a delayed food price shock later this year. "The speed of the move [energy shock] pushed volatility sharply higher, with energy once again becoming the primary transmission channel for geopolitical risk into broader macro pricing," UBS analyst Claudio Martucci warned clients earlier this month. Claudio pointed out, "Agricultural markets reacted more indirectly to the energy shock via higher fertilizer costs, and higher input and biofuel c...

Igor Suka/E+ via Getty Images The last time I spoke about Apogee Therapeutics, Inc. ( APGE ), it was in a Seeking Alpha article entitled " Apogee Therapeutics: APG808 Asthma Treatment May Overtake Dupixent In IL-4Ra Class ." The company demonstrated that the addition of its extended half-life technology was able to allow it to not only achieve positive results from its phase 1b study using APG808 for the treatment of patients with Asthma, but also to do so with less frequent dosing. This company continues to deliver on its promise of incorporating its half-life extended monoclonal antibody technology in order to attempt to gain competitive advantages over currently approved therapies to treat this and other inflammatory disorders. What I also mentioned was that the company was in the process of developing its drug candidate APG777, now known as zumilokibart for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis [AD]. I had a Strong Buy rating on APGE stock at that time, and I believe it is important to keep the rating where it is at. The reason why is because it just reported positive results from its 52 week maintenance Part A of the phase 2 APEX trial using this potential best-in-class anti-IL-13 antibody to treat these patients. I will be going over this entire program and data below. However, with this positive data in hand, it is on track to release Part B 16 week induction data from this very same mid-stage trial in Q2 of 2026. Should the data in this induction period compared to placebo hold up, the Apogee believes that it will be able to initiate a phase 3 study using zumilokibart for the treatment of these patients with moderate-to-severe AD. As a bonus, the data it released today from this Part A of this phase 2 APEX study is going to be given as a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting on March 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM. With the positive 52-week maintenance data from Part A of the phase 2 A...

Rezolute ( RZLT ) shares traded higher on Tuesday after the company said that it was encouraged by the outcome of a meeting held with the U.S. FDA regarding a late-stage trial for its lead asset, ersodetug, which failed to reach the main goal last year. Shares of the Redwood City, California-based biotech plunged in December after the company announced the failure of its Phase 3 sunRIZE study for ersodetug in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, a rare disease characterized by low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). During the Type B meeting held on Mar. 17, the FDA acknowledged the potential impact of behavioral factors in patients who enroll in studies targeting congenital HI, the company said. The challenges include the limitations of relying on self-monitored blood glucose-based metrics to measure hypoglycemia. “We are extremely encouraged by the outcome of our meeting with the FDA," CEO Nevan Charles Elam remarked, adding that “the agency did not dismiss sunRIZE outright on the basis of not meeting its primary endpoint.” The FDA also encouraged Rezolute (RXLT) to submit study data and analysis for an independent review, after which a decision is anticipated on whether sunRIZE data will be adequate for a marketing application or if additional data will be required.
