hapabapa Merck ( MRK ), operating as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada, on Wednesday said it will acquire clinical-stage biotech Terns Pharmaceuticals ( TERN ) in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $6.7 billion. Merck will pay $53.00 per share, representing a significant premium over Terns' recent trading average, as it seeks to integrate the promising leukemia candidate TERN-701 into its hematology portfolio. Following the announcement, Terns Pharmaceuticals ( TERN ) shares jumped 5.5% in premarket trading, hovering near the acquisition price as investors reacted to the definitive agreement. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as an asset acquisition and close in the second quarter of 2026, resulting in a charge of approximately $5.8 billion, or approximately $2.35 per share, included in both second-quarter and full-year 2026 GAAP and non-GAAP results, Merck ( MRK ) said in a statement . Merck ( MRK ) has been pursuing deals to strengthen its pipeline, with CEO Rob Davis spearheading a strategy to diversify the company's portfolio ahead of the 2028 patent expiration for its blockbuster cancer drug, Keytruda. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Merck, through a subsidiary, will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Terns. The acquisition is subject to a majority of Terns’ stockholders tendering their shares in a tender offer that will be initiated by a subsidiary of Merck. “The acquisition of Terns builds on our growing presence in hematology with TERN-701, a potential best-in-class candidate for the treatment of certain patients with chronic myeloid leukemia,” said Robert M. Davis , chairman and chief executive officer, Merck. “This transaction further diversifies and strengthens our position in oncology as we continue to look for opportunities to broaden our portfolio into other therapeutic areas.” More on Merck Merck & Co., Inc.

It's not too early to start talking about the next Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) halving, which is currently scheduled to take place in April 2028. If history is any guide, Bitcoin is nearing the end of its current four-year cycle, and it's time for investors to start positioning themselves for the start of the next crypto bull market. That means 2027 is shaping up to be a prime buying opportunity for investors looking to scoop up cryptocurrencies at bargain-basement prices. It almost goes without saying that Bitcoin is a must-buy ahead of the halving. Here are three other cryptocurrencies on my shopping list ahead of the next Bitcoin halving , when the reward for mining new coins gets cut in half. At the top of my shopping list is Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) , which remains the premier Layer 1 blockchain network on the planet. It currently trades at 57% lower than (as of March 24) to its all-time high of $4,954 from August 2025. Continue reading

Leila Melhado/iStock Editorial via Getty Images MercadoLibre ( MELI ) said it will invest S$10.9B in Brazil in 2026, marking about a 50% increase from last year. The company said the money will go mainly toward logistics the e-commerce marketplace while also supporting 14 new fulfillment centers and about 10,000 new jobs in Brazil this year. Notably, the company considers logistics expansion to be one of the fundamental pillars for driving e-commerce growth in Brazil. Another area of investment for the company will be the financial arm Mercado Pago. Management is eyeing expanding credit for consumers and smaller-sized enterprises that operate within the company's ecosystem in Brazil. Despite regional expansion, Brazil is still MercadoLibre's ( MELI ) largest market and a key driver of earnings, so the investment is tied to sustaining growth there through faster delivery, a stronger logistics network, and a deeper fintech and credit offering. The move also follows the e-commerce player's separate $3.4B investment announcement for Argentina, underscoring how aggressively the company is still expanding across Latin America. Shares of MercadoLibre ( MELI ) were up 1.1% in premarket action to cut into the ~20% decline for the year. Both Wall Street analysts and Seeking Alpha analysts have a Strong Buy rating on MELI.

Global energy transition requires deeper international cooperation Rising geopolitical tensions are highlighting the need for energy security and the global energy transition, which require deeper international cooperation across renewable energy supply chains, speakers said at the China Development Forum on March 22. According to the International Energy Agency, total global metal demand will increase sixfold by 2050, with lithium and cobalt jumping nearly fortyfold. Jeremy Weir, chairman of commodity trader Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd., warned of supply shortage risks for essential minerals, noting that by 2035, global copper demand is expected to grow by 40%, yet existing mines and committed projects will only cover about half of the increment.

The World Bank warned Mozambique’s current economic trajectory puts at risk the $50 billion in gas projects the government is counting on to help bolster its flagging economy, in one of the starkest warnings yet on the nation’s persistent debt-fueled overspending. The public wage bill and debt servicing consumed 87% of tax revenue last year, the Washington-based lender said in a report published on Tuesday, leaving little for anything else. At the same time, poverty levels are growing in a nation that already ranks as the world’s second-poorest, it cautioned. The government has relied on local debt markets to fund a fiscal deficit that the World Bank sees widening to about 6% of gross domestic product this year and next, from about 4.1% last year. That’s led to payment delays and credit-rating downgrades, and local banks limiting their participation in Treasury-bill and bond auctions. “The cost of inaction is rising and could be severe,” the World Bank said in its Mozambique Economic Update. “If existing macro-fiscal pressures continue unchecked, economic instability could jeopardize more than $50 billion in foreign direct investment, particularly in energy mega projects.” TotalEnergies SE in January announced the full resumption of its $20 billion Mozambique liquefied natural gas project, after a near five-year halt because of attacks by Islamic State-aligned militants. Exxon Mobil Corp. plans an even bigger project alongside it, and the Mozambican government expects a final investment decision in the coming months.
