Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. current account balance stood at -$190.7B in Q4 2025, compared with the -$211.0B consensus and narrowing from -$239.1B in the prior quarter (revised from -$226.4B), according to data r eleased by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Wednesday. The 20.2% narrowing of the deficit in Q4 reflected a shift in the balance on primary income from a deficit in Q3 to a surplus in Q4 and a reduced deficit on goods. The Q4 shortfall was 2.4% of current-dollar gross domestic product, down from 3.1% in Q3. Exports of goods and services to, and income received from, foreign residents rose by $32.4B to $1.33T in Q4, reflecting increases in goods exports and in primary (earned) income receipts. Imports of goods and services from, and income paid to, foreign residents decreased $16.0B to $1.52T, highlighting decreases in primary (earned) income payments and in goods imports, the BEA said . For full-year 2025, the current account deficit narrowed by 5.8% to $1.12T, representing 3.6% of current-dollar GDP, down from 4.0% in 2024.

Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. and Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec have agreed a deal to acquire Canadian renewable energy firm Boralex Inc. for C$9 billion ($6.5 billion) including debt. The buyers will pay C$37.25 in cash for Boralex, according to a statement Wednesday that confirmed a Bloomberg News report that the company was considering a sale. That price represents a roughly 32% premium to Boralex’s closing price on Mar. 20 — the last full day of trading before reports of a strategic review at the company. Shares in Boralex closed at C$33 in Toronto Tuesday, giving the company a market value of about C$3.4 billion. La Caisse is already Boralex’s largest shareholder with a 15% stake. Boralex builds and operates renewable energy production sites in Canada, the US, France and the UK, including onshore wind, solar, hydroelectricity and energy storage. Brookfield has been investing increasing amounts of money in clean energy in recent years, including via deals for companies such as French renewables developer Neoen. A year ago, La Caisse agreed to take private Innergex Renewable Energy, Boralex’s biggest local rival, in a transaction worth about C$10 billion including debt.

New bank capital rules to be presented by the Swiss government next month will likely be less severe on UBS Group AG than the current proposals, according to Bank of America analysts. The ordinance on intangible capital could end up allowing so-called “temporary differences” deferred tax assets to be counted toward CET1 capital up to a cap at 10% of the total, which would be “consistent” with the treatment under international rules known as Basel III, Antonio Reale and Rohan Datta said in a note published Wednesday. This would lower the measure’s capital charge for UBS to $6.2 billion from the current estimate of $10.8 billion, they said, calling it a “potential step in the right direction.” The Swiss Federal Council will likely publish the ordinance on either April 22 or 29, when it is also due to present the separate — and possibly more far-reaching — proposal on the capital treatment of foreign subsidiaries, the analysts said. While they expect the government to stick with a plan to require full backing by CET1 capital, they note the bill will have to go through parliament, which they expect it to water it down by allowing some of the new requirement to be met with less expensive AT1 capital. Read More: UBS Set to Face Swiss Government Decision on Capital in April The outcome of both sets of rule changes is arguably the biggest question mark hanging over UBS and its share price. Switzerland’s largest bank recently updated its impact assessment, saying that the plans, if they were to come into force unchanged, would add $22 billion in new capital demands relative to the end of last year. UBS has repeatedly slammed the current proposals as unacceptable and continues to lobby against them. Bloomberg News reported last year that UBS was considering moving its headquarters out of the country if the Swiss capital reforms prove too onerous. Swiss officials have concluded that the impact of the new rules will be manageable for UBS, Bloomberg News reported in January. The...
