US stocks were little changed on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged in its first policy decision of the year. Wall Street also braced for earnings from megacap tech companies in a day that saw the S&P 500 (^GSPC) vault briefly over the 7,000 mark for the first time. The S&P 500 slipped from its record. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) ticked up 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was little changed. The Fed's first interest-rate decision came and went as expected, as the central bank kept rates unchanged in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, in a 10-2 decision. Governors Chris Waller and Stephen Miran dissented, voted in favor of a 25 basis point cut. The spotlight now turns to Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference comments for clues about future cuts. Ahead of Wednesday’s decision, markets were pricing in two quarter-point rate reductions by the end of 2026, according to CME FedWatch. The recent slump in the dollar (DX-Y.NYB) raised questions over the potential risk of an economic downturn. The US currency rose Wednesday, after sinking to its lowest level since 2022 on Tuesday after President Trump brushed off the deepest drop in the dollar since his sweeping tariffs launched. The rate decision also comes amid a period of political tension for the central bank, as the Trump administration in recent weeks opened a criminal investigation against Powell over his Senate testimony about renovations of the central bank’s headquarters. Markets are also watching for Trump to announce Powell's successor, which Trump has said could happen any day now. Meanwhile, techs are in the spotlight again as a surprise record surge in orders for ASML's (ASML) chipmaking machines stoked optimism for a long-lasting AI boom. Shares in ASML turned lower, though the spirits boosted AI bellwether Nvidia (NVDA) and TSMC (TSM), which rely on the Dutch company's gear to produce chips. The developments have turned up focus on earnings from Microsoft ...

The deal merges two prominent community and regional banks in Houston, Texas. The wave of bank mergers and acquisitions continued today. Prosperity Bancshares (PB 7.94%) announced an agreement to acquire Stellar Bancorp (STEL +11.62%), creating a $54 billion-asset bank with a strong presence in the fast-growing Houston, Texas market. Prosperity Bancshares will pay roughly $2 billion to acquire Stellar in a part-cash, part-stock transaction, with 70% of the value in stock. The total purchase has an implied value of $39.08 per Stellar share. Stellar shares traded roughly 12% higher, as of this writing. Two directors from Stellar's board of directors will also be added to Prosperity's board, and key Stellar executives will be retained. The pro forma bank will have the number one deposit market share in Beaumont County and the number five deposit market share in Houston. Stellar also brings a significant amount of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans to Prosperity, which has a large residential mortgage portfolio. Is the acquisition a smart financial decision for Prosperity? In today's banking landscape, many banks believe they need to grow to better compete with the largest banks in terms of technology and regulatory compliance. The deal certainly has merit, given the strong overlap in Houston and the pro forma bank's projected return metrics. The acquisition of Stellar is projected to be over 9% accretive to Prosperity's earnings in 2027, and Prosperity will be able to cut 35% of Stellar's non-interest expense base. In 2027, management projects the combined entity to generate a return on average assets of 1.58% and a return on average tangible common equity of 17.1%. The combined entity is also expected to have an efficiency ratio of 44%, which measures expenses as a percentage of revenue. A lower ratio is better, and a sub-50% efficiency ratio is superb.

【有線新聞】消防加強巡查商廈，副消防總長黃旭平在本台節目《政經CHAT》說發現有物管公司阻塞走火通道，情況不理想。至於會否考慮公開點名火警風險較高大廈，他說要小心研究。 消防加強巡查火警風險較高商廈，副消防總長黃旭平說這類大廈處所和人流較多，巡視後發現整體情況有改善，部分大廈零違規，不過發現有管理公司涉嫌違規。黃旭平：「有時候都是貪方便，可能有一些設備他們就放在逃生途徑，這些情況我們是留意到有零星的。當然他們是一些疏忽，但是這些情況我們覺得都需要給物監局正視和跟進。」 消防過去兩周巡查36幢商廈，發現259項違規，發出70張消除火警危險通知書、檢控37宗，黃旭平解釋是否檢控，視乎能否找出違規人士。黃旭平：「可能附近的居民或業主或者佔用人、租客等，因為依據法例，這一類人士都是有責任去消除火警危險，但他們可能甚至乎連那些雜物擺在樓梯都不知道。沒理由在不知情之下，我們去告他們，在這些情況，我們就會給一張消除火警危險通知書。」 荃灣大鴻輝中心火警安全多年來備受關注，區議員伍俊瑜指加強巡查後已有改善，是否公開高危大廈名單要視乎情況。荃灣區議員伍俊瑜：「屢勸不改的情況才這樣做，否則的話，你要政府去點名哪一幢大廈做成這樣或者做得怎樣，你都要給他機會、給他時間去改善。」黃旭平：「可能也有一些其實他們是守法的商戶、守法的市民，我們這樣去公布的時間有何影響呢？我想這裡長遠也需要探討一下。」 消防強調會繼續加強巡查，果斷執法。

Global military budgets are surging at a pace unseen since the Cold War, fueling a defense-spending supercycle. NATO allies are aiming to spend up to 5% of GDP on defense by 2035, while Asian powers such as Japan and South Korea are also boosting spending. This environment has been a boon for defense stocks, with South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace rising a spectacular 2,600% since the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, even eclipsing Rheinmetall’s 1,700% run.

Michael Mayo's 'Fly' is a soaring testament to his artistry and creative vision toggle caption Lauren Desberg With the release of his sophomore album, Fly, in October 2024, singer-songwriter and composer Michael Mayo ascended to new artistic heights. Much like his lauded 2021 debut album, Bones, the Los Angeles-born singer flexed his jazz-influenced musical prowess on Fly, enthusing critics with the album's floating production, expressive songwriting and its highlighting of his expansive vocal range. The album ultimately landed Mayo his first Grammy nominations of his career, with Fly being nominated for best jazz album and best jazz performance for the album's track "Four." toggle caption Lauren Desberg In an interview with All Things Considered, Mayo said that his artistry is driven by his focus on remaining true to himself and what he wants to express as a singer. This philosophy is even reflected in how he approaches his vocals, with Mayo aiming to prioritize the best notes his voice can hit over aiming to make intentionally splashy vocal choices. Sponsor Message "I'm going to make the musical statements that feel the most natural," Mayo said about his stylistic choices on Fly. YouTube While speaking to NPR's Ailsa Chang, Mayo discussed the people who helped make Fly take flight, how he approaches taking artistic risks and the importance of realizing his dreams.

Australia’s credit market is becoming a favored destination for investors seeking alternatives to dollar investments, driving local bond deals to a record. Sales of company and government debt have reached a record A$50.7 billion ($35.6 billion) so far in January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The flurry comes amid renewed weakness in the US dollar — which marked its weakest level since early 2022 — prompting investors to lean further into the de-dollarization trend. “The asset class has exhibited more resilience and stability during recent bouts of risk-off sentiment that have impacted global credit markets,” said Amy Xie Patrick , head of income strategies at Pendal Group in Sydney. The surge highlights Australia’s growing appeal as efforts to diversify away from the US dollar gather pace. Historically low default rates, driven by “conservative issuers,” are reinforcing that trend, Patrick added. The local debt sales in January have surged 63% from a year ago, outpacing a 20% rise in Asia-Pacific dollar bonds and an 18% increase in euro issuance. Heightened swings in the US dollar have affected hedging risks, leading investors to favor relatively safer markets. “Given Australia’s AAA sovereign ratings and more balanced supply and demand, the Australian dollar bond market tends to be less volatile,” Theo Hadiwidjaja , credit research analyst, JPMorgan Asset Management, wrote in an email. Read: Treasuries Gloom Is Boosting Demand for Asia’s Top-Rated Debt The share of issuance by non-Australian borrowers has climbed to 38% so far in 2026 from around 29% in all of 2025, signaling growing interest from global issuers. Quasi-sovereign borrowers have led the charge in debt sales by issuers, driven by investor demand for “high-quality yield” and the ongoing de-dollarization trade, said Helen Mason , head of credit portfolio management at Schroders’ Australian unit. “Companies, financial institutions and or agencies are looking to diversify funding sources away...

This company tends to bounce back strong after a sell-off. Netflix (NFLX 1.10%) performed well for most of 2025, but the company's shares dropped after it released its third-quarter earnings. It then announced a 10-for-1 stock split that helped it regain some of those losses, but recent developments, especially regarding its proposed blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, have weighed on the company. The stock took another dive following its most recent quarterly update. It is now down by 27% over the past six months. Is Netflix worth buying on the dip? My view is that it is. Financial results were strong For the fourth quarter, Netflix's revenue increased by 17.6% year over year to $12.1 billion. Its earnings per share climbed 30.2% year over year to $0.56, while Netflix's free cash flow rose 35.8% year over year to $1.9 billion. Netflix is still the king of streaming and now boasts over 325 million paid subscribers. The company's results were strong overall, and even though it guided for slower top-line growth in the first quarter, the slate of new and returning content it is launching on its platform should give it plenty of momentum throughout the year as it attracts even more paid subscribers. The acquisition could unlock value Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. won't be cheap. The all-cash transaction would cost a hefty $82.7 billion. It would add significant debt to the company's balance sheet. Some investors and analysts are also worried about some drawbacks from lawmakers and regulators. All of these are important considerations. However, Netflix's move here could be an important one for the company. With all the success the streaming giant has had, Warner Bros. boasts a deep library of popular characters and movie franchises. If you combine that with Netflix's ability to use data on viewer habits to create popular content -- from movies to TV shows -- the possibilities become attractive.

【有線新聞】美國總統特朗普敦促伊朗盡快達成核協議，否則將面臨更猛烈的攻擊。伊朗警告任何打擊將視為宣戰，準備好隨時報復。 美國總統特朗普在社交平台發文指，林肯號航母戰鬥群正率領一支龐大艦隊駛向中東，規模比美軍月初捉拿馬杜羅夫婦更龐大，警告伊朗時日無多，要求盡快談判達成核協議，揚言美軍下一輪攻勢將比去年6月突襲伊朗的行動更加猛烈。國務卿魯比奧同日出席參議院外交關係委員會聽證會指，加強中東軍力部署是謹慎決定，防範伊朗對美軍的潛在威脅，必要時亦可先發制人。他稱伊朗政權前所未有地不穩，經濟正在崩潰，預料會再次爆發示威，但認為目前伊朗情況比委內瑞拉更為複雜，難以尋找新的領袖實現政權更迭。魯比奧：「如果最高領袖和政權倒台，除了期望她們體制內有人推動權力更替的過渡，我認為情況遠比我們現在描述的複雜，因為這個政權存在已久。」 伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊的政治顧問沙姆哈尼稱美方所謂打擊行動只是幻覺，並視為對伊朗宣戰，警告會報復美國、以色列及其支持者的目標。外長阿拉格齊則指武裝部隊已預備好隨時應對襲擊，同時強調歡迎任何基於互相尊重、公正且平衡的核協議，重申以軍事手段脅逼外交談判是不可行也無法取得成果，美方必須放棄威脅和不切實際的訴求。 分析指若特朗普政府尋求推翻伊朗政權，單靠軍事行動是不足夠，只有外部壓力、有組織的國內反對派合作，以及武裝部隊倒戈，才能改變伊朗的政治走向。

美联储主席杰罗姆・鲍威尔于本周三首次就其出席美联储理事莉萨・库克相关最高法院听证会的争议性决定作出解释。他认为，这起案件因关乎美联储的独立性，成为这家央行有史以来面临的最重要的法律案件。 鲍威尔在美联储货币政策会议后的新闻发布会上表示：“这起案件或许是美联储 113 年历史上最重要的法律案件。我仔细考量后认为，如果我不出席这场听证会，反而会难以解释原因。” 上周，鲍威尔出席了该案的首次庭审辩论。该案的核心争议点是，美国总统唐纳德・特朗普是否有权解雇莉萨・库克。这一裁决被外界认为具有广泛的影响，将决定总统能否通过罢免央行官员，实现对美联储的实质掌控。财政部长斯科特・贝森特上周在接受采访时，称鲍威尔出席庭审的决定是一个 “错误”，认为这位美联储主席让该案变得政治化。 鲍威尔还提到，前美联储主席保罗・沃尔克也曾有过出席最高法院相关庭审的知名先例，他表示，这一先例为自己的出席行为提供了参考。 美联储官网信息显示，该机构于 1913 年伍德罗・威尔逊总统执政时期成立。 庭审过程中，最高法院的大法官们对特朗普声称其有权解雇库克的主张表示质疑，并担忧这一先例一旦形成，会对美联储的独立性造成何种影响。 特朗普以涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈为由，试图罢免库克，但批评人士认为，此举实则与其推动美联储降息的诉求相关。最高法院此前已作出裁定，允许库克在口头辩论期间继续履行理事职务。 鲍威尔此次出席庭审，恰逢他本月早些时候透露自己正因美联储总部翻修事宜接受联邦调查。政界人士和货币政策观察人士认为，这一调查与特朗普多次批评鲍威尔未加快降息步伐的行为存在关联。 针对鲍威尔的刑事调查，加之特朗普试图罢免库克的举动，共同引发了外界的担忧，人们担心美联储长期秉持的非政治立场正面临威胁。 鲍威尔在周三的新闻发布会上表示，美联储与政治保持分离，是确保其长期公信力的关键。 他称：“美联储保持独立，并非为了保护政策制定者之类的人。归根结底，世界上所有的发达经济体和民主国家，均已形成这一共识惯例。” 鲍威尔表示，一旦失去这种政银分离的状态，“这家机构的公信力将难以恢复”。 周三的新闻发布会还笼罩着一层隐忧：特朗普可能随时宣布鲍威尔的继任者 —— 鲍威尔的美联储主席任期将于今年 5 月结束。鲍威尔也为下一任美联储主席给出了及时的建议。 他说：“不要卷入竞选政治，绝对不要。” 责任编辑：丁文武

Supporters of assisted dying will seek to force through the bill using an archaic parliamentary procedure if it continues to be blocked by the Lords. The high stakes move – described by some backers as the “nuclear option” – would be the first time the 1911 Parliament Act has been invoked for a private member’s bill. The acknowledgment by supporters that they are now preparing to use the act is a sign of growing desperation – they have accepted that without a radical change of approach the bill will fall because of the delays it is experiencing in the House of Lords. If the bill does not conclude by the end of the parliamentary session in May, it will automatically fail despite having been passed by the Commons. The bill’s backers, the MP Kim Leadbeater and Lord Charles Falconer, said they have extensive legal and constitutional advice which proves they can force peers to vote on the bill, unamended, in the next session of parliament. The move is a significant escalation of hostilities between the two sides and is likely to provoke an outcry from opponents of assisted dying, who say the delay in the Lords is not a filibuster but proper scrutiny of a flawed bill. Falconer said the public and the Commons demanded a proper parliamentary decision was made on the issue. “If opponents think this issue will just go away if it is talked out in the Lords then they are wrong. It will continue to demand parliamentary action until it is resolved,” he told the Guardian. Falconer said he hoped there would be a change of approach in the Lords to allow it to move to a vote in the upper house. He said: “That is what should happen and that continues to be my aim. However, because the Lords is a self-regulating chamber there is no mechanism to prevent a small minority of peers frustrating the will of the majority who want to see the bill progress through all its stages. “Together with Kim Leadbeater MP, who introduced the bill in the Commons, I have sought advice on the possible ways ...

vchal/iStock via Getty Images Energy Fuels ( UUUU ) leads a rally in nuclear technology stocks Wednesday, +14.2% to its highest in nearly 15 years, as the Department of Energy unveiled an initiative to build out the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain. Among other nuclear tech and uranium names: Oklo ( OKLO ) +10.6%, Denison Mines ( DNN ) +9.3%, NexGen Energy ( NXE ) +9.1%, Centrus Energy ( LEU ) +7.9%, Nuscale Power ( SMR ) +6.4%, Cameco ( CCJ ) +6.1%, Uranium Energy ( UEC ) +5.2%, Lightbridge ( LTBR ) +3.9%, Ur-Energy ( URG ) +3.3%. The DoE said it is seeking input from U.S. states on any interest they have in hosting sites for developing the nuclear fuel lifecycle, which includes storing nuclear waste and spent fuel reprocessing. The sites, called Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses, could offer federal support for deployment of advanced nuclear reactors and co-located data centers, which also could enrich uranium, the agency said. The strategy is a policy shift aimed at solving a decades-old problem for the U.S. nuclear industry of what to do with its radioactive waste. The DoE said it is seeking approaches that prioritize private and state capital and rely on "targeted, conditional, and time‑limited" federal support. Energy Fuels ( UUUU ) also was upgraded Wednesday to Neutral from Sell with a $15.50 price target, up from $13, at Roth Capital, which believes near-term catalysts and sentiment should lean positive, and a rising uranium spot price likely will offset any near-term value correction. Roth noted the spot uranium price has finally broken through $80/lb with some velocity, and the firm continues to anticipate the spot price reaching $100/lb by mid-2026 with the potential for significant upside beyond $100, although this may hinge on the discipline of holders of uranium stockpiles.
