French far-right leader says ‘never in my life’ would she ask an MEP to hire assistants to work for Front National The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has told a Paris appeals court there was no “system” set up by her party to misuse European parliament funds, as she gave evidence in a fresh embezzlement trial that will determine whether she can run in the 2027 presidential election. “The word ‘system’ bothers me because [it gives] the impression of a manipulation,” Le Pen said on Tuesday, denying she had told members of the European parliament to hire assistants who instead worked for the party headquarters in Paris.

Protesters with Danish and Greenlandic flags during a demonstration in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026. Nichlas Pollier | Bloomberg | Getty Images Danish pension operator AkademikerPension said it was exiting U.S. Treasuries because of finance concerns as the country spars with President Donald Trump over his calls to takeover Greenland . Anders Schelde, AkademikerPension's investing chief, said the decision was driven by what it sees as "poor [U.S.] government finances" amid America's debt crisis . But it also comes as tensions escalate between the U.S. and Denmark after Trump's latest threats to tariff European countries if Greenland wasn't sold to America. "It is not directly related to the ongoing rift between the [U.S.] and Europe, but of course that didn't make it more difficult to take the decision," Schelde said in a statement to CNBC. The fund currently has a position of around $100 million in U.S. Treasuries, an AkademikerPension spokesperson confirmed to CNBC. It plans to have exited that holding by the end of the month. Schelde chiefly cited the ballooning debt bill facing the U.S. after decades of government overspending. The U.S. recorded a budget shortfall of $1.78 trillion last year, down just over 2% from 2024's fiscal year as Trump's broad and steep tariffs took effect. Moody's Ratings cut the United States' sovereign credit rating down to Aa1 from Aaa last year, citing the budget deficit and high borrowing costs associated with rolling over debt at lofty interest rates. The U.S.' finances made "us think that we need to make an effort to find an alternative way of conducting our liquidity and risk management," Schelde said. "Now we have found such a way and we executing on that." But the move also comes as Denmark grows increasingly hostile toward the U.S. as Trump has ratcheted up his calls for Greenland, an arctic island operated by the European country. Trump said over the weekend that he would institute tariffs on several Europe...

Palantir's billionaire CEO studied philosophy — now he says AI will destroy humanities jobs Business Insider

The tensions and power plays between Europe and the United States that started over Donald Trump’s demands on Greenland reverberated in the Swiss Alps ahead of the US president’s arrival in Davos tomorrow. Discussions today focused on geopolitics as leaders weighed how Europe should proceed in the face of more tariff threats. French President Emmanuel Macron blasted Trump’s threats of trade measures on countries that don’t support his bid to annex Greenland as “fundamentally unacceptable.” He argued that Europe needs to develop more sovereignty to avoid “vassalization and blood politics.” The UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves sought to dial down the temperature and urged for people to “to keep cool heads.” US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took a defensive stance , urging calm in the face suggestions that Europe could forcefully retaliate by offloading Treasuries or unleashing anti-coercion instruments. “What I’m urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out,” he said. Trump though is expected to arrive in bullish form and he’s said he’ll meet with several parties over his ambition to take control of Greenland. Investors will be watching closely as markets brace for the fallout from the geopolitical clash. What You Need to Know Today Danish pension fund AkademikerPension is planning to exit US Treasuries by the end of the month amid concerns that US policies have created credit risks that are too big to ignore. “The US is basically not a good credit and long-term the US government finances are not sustainable,” Anders Schelde, chief investment officer at AkademikerPension, told us today. AkademikerPension, which manages around $25 billion in savings for teachers and academics, held about $100 million in US Treasuries at the end of 2025. While only a tiny amount in the US Treasury market, the move is a symbolic step as institutional investors rethink what constitutes a safe haven. Schelde cited Trump’s talk of taki...

In this article PFE NVO Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT US President Donald Trump arrives for an announcement in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Friday, Dec. 19, 2025. Will Oliver | Bloomberg | Getty Images Drug pricing. Looming patent cliffs . Dealmaking. The first year of Trump 2.0. Those are among the themes that dominated conversations last week as drugmakers of all sizes met with investors to map out their plans for 2026 and beyond at the annual JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. After geopolitical uncertainty weighed on dealmaking during the first half of 2025, investors and drugmakers sounded optimistic that 2026 may mark a turning point for the sector. Investors are beginning to see signs of recovery in U.S. biotech so far this year after years of volatility, betting that lower interest rates and a renewed appetite for deals will reopen the IPO window. The conference lacked the splashy, high-dollar acquisitions that typically take center stage there. But big pharma made it clear it is on the hunt for potential buyouts and collaborations as it looks to make up for roughly $300 billion in possible lost revenue as patents for blockbuster drugs expire toward the end of the decade. Some concerns around President Donald Trump 's health-care policy agenda have eased after more than a dozen major drugmakers ended 2025 with landmark drug pricing deals and three-year reprieves from tariffs. When asked about whether he still held to his prediction last year that Trump will be a positive for the sector, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told reporters last week, "Yes," even though "I got scared big time" along the way. Still, investors are trying to understand how the drug pricing agreements will impact businesses, and parse out the implications of policy changes like softer U.S. vaccine recommendations. Here's what we heard from pharma executives about the year ahead. Drug pricing Some executives said the recent drug...

The two-year plan, jointly announced by the Ministry of Finance and three other agencies, seeks to reinvigorate the private sector by expanding credit guarantees and doubling the loan ceiling for qualifying borrowers.

AAPL Shares Dip Over 4% Ahead Of Q1 Results — Retail Says 'Buy The Dip' Stocktwits

北京时间1月21日凌晨，美股周二午盘维持下跌趋势。美国总统特朗普再次重申有关攫取格陵兰的强硬言论，威胁提高对欧洲八国的关税。市场避险情绪盛行，资金逃离美国资产，美债收益率飙升。 道指跌508.37点，跌幅为1.03%，报48850.96点；纳指跌321.46点，跌幅为1.37%，报23193.93点；标普500指数跌79.50点，跌幅为1.15%，报6860.51点。 周二美股出现广泛抛售，早盘交易中上涨的股票寥寥无几。科技股领跌，因投资者转向避险资产以及收益率飙升减缓经济，科技股面临的风险最大。英伟达下跌3.5%。 衡量市场恐慌程度的芝加哥期权交易所波动率（VIX）指数，即华尔街的“恐慌指数”，跃升至19以上，为去年11月以来的最高水平。 美国总统特朗普发出的最新关税威胁导致资金逃离美国资产，美国国债收益率飙升，美元下跌。 在特朗普威胁对多个欧洲国家提高关税后，股票市场、债市和美元汇率全线下跌。欧美围绕格陵兰问题的对峙不断升温。黄金价格创历史新高。 特朗普周六在其社交媒体平台Truth Social上发帖宣布，八个北约成员国的对美出口将面临逐步升档的关税，“直到就完全和彻底购买格陵兰达成协议为止。” 特朗普表示，关税将从2月1日起以10%开始征收，并在6月1日升至25%。 随后，有报道称法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙不愿加入其所谓的“和平委员会（Board of Peace）”，特朗普威胁要对法国出口葡萄酒和香槟征收200%的关税。 特朗普还抨击了英国，称英国政府计划将查戈斯群岛（Chagos Islands，其中一岛是美英军事基地所在地）主权移交给毛里求斯是“极其愚蠢的行为”。他表示，此举是“为何必须获取格陵兰岛的又一长串国家安全理由中的另一个原因”。 周一美股因马丁·路德·金纪念日休市。 德意志银行的吉姆·里德（Jim Reid）在周二早间的一份报告中表示：“由于美国市场昨日休市，关于格陵兰问题的关税威胁的影响尚未完全渗透至金融市场。市场已有所反应，但如果言辞进一步严厉，显然还有更大的波动空间。” 里德补充道，“市场对欧洲可能采取某种报复性贸易升档措施的担忧日益加剧，多名官员的评论越来越强硬。” 据报道，欧洲领导人称特朗普的最新关税威胁“不可接受”，正在考虑反制措施——据称法国正推动欧盟使用其最强大的经济反制威胁工具，即“反胁迫工具”。 特朗普定于周三在瑞士达沃斯...
