Investors looking for reliable income amid the market carnage have several places to turn, according to experts. Investors fled U.S. assets Tuesday amid concerns over President Donald Trump 's threats over Greenland and fears of a trade war. Stocks fell, while Treasury yields jumped . A sell-off in Japan's bond market also weighed on Treasurys. "While the sell-off had been partially underway last week, as solid economic data had pushed the Dec. 2026 fed fund rate close to 3.2%, geopolitical uncertainty heightened over the weekend as well as Japanese fiscal [policy] pushed Japan 40-year rate through 4% to the highest since 2007," said Leslie Falconio, head of taxable fixed income strategy in UBS Americas' chief investment officer. "The jump in 30- and 40-year yields of more than 25 basis points was the most since the aftermath of Liberation Day tariffs announcements in April last year," she said. US10Y 1Y mountain U.S. 10-year Treasury yield's one-year performance On Saturday, Trump said that eight NATO members will face higher tariffs until a deal is reached for the United States to buy Greenland . On Tuesday, he threatened to slap France with 200% levies on its wines and champagne after French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly didn't want to join Trump's "Board of Peace" on Gaza. While geopolitical uncertainty is weighing on investors, corporate earnings have been good and expectations for the quarter remain high, said Kevin Simpson, founder and chief investment officer of Capital Wealth Planning in Naples, Florida. "But when you're priced to perfection, anytime you get something that's just a little bit disconcerting or a little bit concerning, it weighs on markets and that's what we're seeing today," he said. There are several places investors can find income in this environment. High-quality bonds Bonds have returned to their traditional role as a portfolio ballast, since they have had a more negative correlation to stocks — meaning they move in opposite dire...

A Paris appeals court will decide if Marine Le Pen can stand in next year’s presidential election. But legal troubles have not damaged the fortunes of her party In a Paris courtroom, the first act of the 2027 French presidential election is already under way. On Tuesday Marine Le Pen began to answer judges’ questions in her appeal against a conviction relating to the embezzlement of European parliament funds. If she wins, the far-right leader will be free to run for the presidency for a fourth time. If the sentence is upheld, her 30-year-old protege, Jordan Bardella, is almost certain to take her place in the race. Having presented the original verdict as an assault on democracy by judges bent on thwarting her political ambitions, Ms Le Pen has softened her stance. If the appeals court is swayed by arguments that offences committed by her National Rally party were inadvertent, a five-year ban on running for public office may be reduced or overturned. Even if she loses, however, her political opponents may not be inclined to celebrate too enthusiastically. Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

A little over a decade ago, Life is Strange burst onto the scene with a unique blend of teen drama and interactive storytelling. That first game told the story of Max Caulfield, who had the supernatural ability to reverse time, and her best friend Chloe Price.

The latest entry in the series follows 2024's Double Exposure , which similarly continued Max's story from the original game.

Silver is a precious metal that sells for around $90 per ounce. Unlike its close sibling gold, it's extremely useful in industrial applications, which soak up almost half of its available supply each year. Silver's price soared by 144% during 2025 on fears that China's latest export restrictions could trigger a global supply shortage. However, like gold, it was also in demand from investors who were hedging against a rise in political and economic uncertainty, driven by elevated inflation, soaring U.S. government spending, and a record high in the national debt. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSEMKT: SLV) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that directly tracks the price of silver. Investors can buy it through most major stock trading platforms, so it's a good alternative to buying physical metal, which often comes with storage and insurance costs. Could it deliver another barnstorming return in 2026? Here's what history says. Continue reading

As climate and geopolitics shocks bite, countries are rebuilding food buffers. The UK clings to neoliberal ideas while households pay the price Food policy across much of the world is changing. But not in Britain. That may be a costly mistake as the prices of essentials rise because of the climate emergency, geopolitical tensions and the fragility of just-in-time supply chains. Many capitals are now reviving their strategic food reserves. European nations such as Sweden, Finland, Norway and Germany are rebuilding stocks dismantled after the cold war. Climate shocks have led to Egypt and Bangladesh boosting similar programmes. Countries such as Brazil and Indonesia – sensitive to the food needs of their vast populations – are also expanding their reserves. The UK, by contrast, has no substantial public food reserves. Its strategy rests almost entirely on global markets and private intentions – an approach shaped by decades of liberalised trade. Even in the event of war, the official advice focuses on households stockpiling essentials. In Britain’s view, food security is about prices, not scarcity of supply.

In this article CRM Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 3:34 03:34 Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff on AI regulation: It can't be just growth at any cost Squawk on the Street Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said Tuesday that "there has to be some regulation" of artificial intelligence , pointing to several documented cases of suicide linked to the technology. "This year, you really saw something pretty horrific, which is these AI models became suicide coaches," Benioff told CNBC's Sarah Eisen Tuesday at the World Economic Forum's flagship conference in Davos, Switzerland. Benioff's call for regulation echoed a similar call he made about social media years ago at Davos. In 2018, Benioff said social media should be treated like a health issue, and said the platforms should be regulated like cigarettes, "They're addictive, they're not good for you." "Bad things were happening all over the world because social media was fully unregulated," he said Tuesday, "and now you're kind of seeing that play out again with artificial intelligence."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a series of bills in October to address child safety concerns with AI and social media. New York Gov.

In this article COIN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Benito Aguilar | Twenty20 Jason Gewirtz is vice president of news at CNBC . What follows is a personal account of his experience with a scammer. Last week my cell phone rang. It was about 1:30 p.m., and the iPhone ID showed the 650 area code, which I recognized as the San Francisco Bay Area. The caller ID listed the number as unknown but labeled it as coming from San Francisco. Given San Francisco's position in the heart of global innovation and technology and that it's the location of one of CNBC's key bureaus, I picked up despite not knowing who was calling, something people rarely do anymore. The voice on the other end introduced himself as Brian Miller from Coinbase's security office. He quickly told me there was "suspicious activity" on my account and wanted to know if I was trying to log in from Frankfurt, Germany, on an iPhone. I told him, "No, I haven't been in Germany in 20 years, and I never use my cell phone to log into my Coinbase account." He told me someone with an address of " Mohamad25@gmail.com " was in my Coinbase account and had tried to make a transfer. The man claiming to be Miller then said, "I haven't seen this one before. He's saying he lost his phone on a conveyor belt at the airport in Frankfurt and needs access." Miller stopped for a second and then said, "He's trying to make another transfer right now." He continued, "I'm trying to figure out how he got access, he has your Social Security number, your phone and your email address. He also gave us a photo that matches your Coinbase face scan. Have you given anyone access to your information lately or have you noticed anything else suspicious on other accounts?" "No," I said. Looking back it's pretty clear, even to me, the attempted scam used classic pressure tactics to get me to feel like I was in danger, so I'd make a fast decision, rather than a smart one. "They try to make you scared by making you feel like you're the ...
