Mexico will continue supplying Cuba with crude oil after the US seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro last weekend, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced, describing Mexican shipments in part as humanitarian aid. Sheinbaum added that she sees Mexican oil as especially critical to the impoverished communist-run Cuba following Maduro’s capture . “With the current situation in Venezuela, Mexico has become an important supplier,” she told reporters at her daily morning press conference on Wednesday. “Previously it was Venezuela, but it’s part of what has historically been sent.” Mexico’s state-owned Petroleos Mexicanos has for decades sent oil to Cuba, and in 2024 it ramped up shipments by nearly 20% to average around 20,000 barrels per day that year. Parts of Sheinbaum’s leftist Morena party are especially sympathetic to Cuba’s communist party, which has increasingly struggled to meet the Caribbean island’s energy needs in recent years. Sheinbaum explained that some of Mexico’s oil exports to Cuba are covered by contractual obligations. “For many years, oil has been sent to Cuba for various reasons, some of which are contracts, some of which are humanitarian aid,” she said. She added that during the administration of former President Enrique Peña Nieto, oil was used to pay debts the Mexican government owed Cuba. Sheinbaum denied that more oil has been sent to Cuba in recent months, and she sidestepped a question from a reporter who asked if more or larger oil exports are planned going forward. According to shipping reports and vessel movements tracked by Bloomberg, Mexico’s oil shipments to Cuba have not increased since last September, when Pemex sent 400,000 barrels. Another ship with the same amount of oil is expected this month. Venezuela has been a longtime benefactor to Cuba, with whom it had an agreement to receive oil in exchange for doctors and security personnel. With the US threatening to control Venezuelan oil exports, it’s unclear if Cuba will completely ...

The US’s first overt attack on an Amazon nation last weekend is a new phase in its extractivist rivalry with China. The outcome will decide whether the vast mineral wealth of South America is directed towards a 21st-century energy transition or a buildup of military power to defend 20th-century fossil fuel interests. Although this onslaught was ostensibly aimed at one corrupt dictatorship in a miserably dysfunctional country, the ramifications are far wider. Venezuela’s oil is the obvious – but not the only – objective. When the former Guardian journalist Seumas Milne and I interviewed Nicolás Maduro in 2014, Maduro warned of the lengths the US was willing to go to “get their hands on Venezuelan oil”. The country’s Orinoco Belt contains easily the biggest reserves in the world – more than 300bn barrels, a fifth of global stock. Donald Trump said US companies would tap these fossil fuels and “start making money for the country”. That would worsen the already dire climate crisis. It also makes little economic sense. Venezuela produces heavy, sour oil, which is hard to refine, though it is suitable for asphalt. After decades of sanctions, underinvestment and mismanagement, the industry’s infrastructure is woeful. On a visit to the Orinoco Belt, I saw old, rusting facilities and heard of sharply falling output. Even before the US naval quarantine, this meant Venezuela ranked 22nd among the world’s oil exporters. Fixing that would take many years and cost tens of billions of dollars, an investment that would not easily be recouped at a time when oil prices are low as a result of surging US production and even cheaper wind and solar energy. When much of the world is transitioning to renewables, Washington would almost have to force this oil down people’s throats.

Former King Street Capital Management partner Paul Goldschmid gathered more than $1.8 billion for his credit-focused hedge fund, surpassing expectations at a time when many others are opting to run money for giant multistrategy firms. Goldschmid’s Harvey Capital Partners — one of the biggest hedge fund startups of 2025 — raised the cash without ceding revenue or equity to a seed investor or using separately managed accounts that offer customized portfolios for certain clients, according to a person familiar with the matter. Such debuts have become rarer, as managers have increasingly opted to take cash from multistrats through SMAs or even run money exclusively for them by acting as external pods. In some cases, multistrats scoop up people who would otherwise go out on their own. In one high-profile example, WorldQuant Chief Investment Officer Geoffrey Lauprete abandoned plans to launch his Libero Capital after he got an offer to run Point72 Asset Management ’s Cubist unit. Goldschmid spent almost 19 years at King Street before leaving last year. In 2012, he joined its four-person global investment committee, and as co-portfolio manager of hedge fund and drawdown strategies, he invested across corporate and structured credit, claims and liquidation. Goldschmid’s hedge fund started trading in the fourth quarter, underscoring that it’s still possible to achieve a $1 billion-plus debut by raising raising cash from traditional investors like endowments and foundations and putting all of that capital in one commingled vehicle. Other 2025 startups in the group include ex- Viking Global Investors CIO Ning Jin ’s new firm, Avantyr Capital Partners , which started trading in October with $1.5 billion. Former Citadel portfolio manager Gilberto Marcheggiano premiered his global macro fund Agave Capital Management with roughly $1 billion last year and provided his own working capital during its seeding phase. The prior year, two of the biggest-ever startups launched, with Jain ...

Compass lifted its guidance for the fourth quarter. Shares of Compass (COMP +13.71%) were pointing north today, moving higher after the company announced a $750 million convertible senior notes offering and gave a positive update on its guidance. As of 11:39 a.m. ET, the stock was up 13.9% on the news. What it means for Compass In a filing this morning, Compass said that it expected fourth-quarter revenue to be at the high end of its previous guidance of $1.59 billion-$1.69 billion, and for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to be at or slightly above the high end of its guidance of $35 million-$49 million. Additionally, it said it added 800 agents in the quarter, a sign it's continuing to grow operationally as well. Debt raises typically are seen as a negative by investors, but investors seemed to be willing to overlook that, given the improved guidance. Compass said it would use the funds, which represent more than 10% of its market cap, for general corporate purposes and to fund its acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate.

The acquisition of Anywhere will nearly double the size of Compass, showing that the company remains focused on growth, even as it's already the largest brokerage based on transaction volume. There are signs that the housing market could be on the mend in 2026, which would be a tailwind for Compass as well. The real estate stock has been largely ignored, but the breakout could continue this year.

Key Points Donald Trump's first year was generally above average for the stock market investors. But the second year might be different. Some of the biggest risks for stock market investors have nothing to do with Trump's policies. Consumer spending, tariffs, and AI spending will all factor into how the market does in 2026. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Generally, politics can cause short-term market movement, but doesn't have a significant impact on long-term stock market performance. But to the extent that it does, the first year of Donald Trump's second term has been a success, with the benchmark S&P 500 index up by 16.3% over the last 12 months -- outpacing its average annual return of around 10%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has performed even better with a gain of 19%, driven by widespread optimism about new technologies like generative artificial intelligence (AI). But while stocks are booming, the market faces some challenges that will be harder to ignore in 2026 and beyond. Let's dig deeper into the three reasons the market could be on the verge of a substantial correction. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » 1. Consumers might be in trouble Consumer spending represents around 70% of U.S. GDP, which means this economy runs on people spending money and buying things -- sometimes on credit. According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, aggregate spending remained strong in 2025. But this was driven by the highest-income consumers in the country. In contrast, spending by middle-income and lower-income consumers has stagnated. Moody's reports that the top 10% of earners are now responsible for almost half of U.S. consumer spending. This alarming stat suggests that the overall economy is not nearly as strong as the topline data makes it look. Furthermore, car repossessions and foreclosures have already begun to spike, wh...

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Wednesday's key moments. 1. The S & P 500 was basically flat Wednesday after a record high in the prior session. Oil prices were down on expectations of more crude supply from Venezuela. According to CNBC sources, Venezuela will ship sanctioned oil to the U.S. indefinitely. Jim Cramer said the Venezuela situation is not investable for oil stocks. But he did recommend that Club cybersecurity name CrowdStrike as a buy, saying geopolitical uncertainty due to Venezuela could lead to increased hacker activity. 2. Bristol Myers Squibb was upgraded to a buy at UBS and issued a $65 price target. Analysts noted several catalysts for the drug maker in the second half of 2026, including data from the Cobenfy trial on the treatment of Alzheimer's psychosis. But Jim does not like Bristol Myers' success being so pegged to Cobenfy. "If Cobenfy does have a not great number, you're going to wish that you had never heard of this," said Jim. UBS also assumed coverage on Eli Lilly with a buy rating, raising its price target to $1,250 from $1,080 due to its lead in the GLP-1 race. 3. Boeing shares got a slight boost after Alaska Air placed its biggest order ever for Boeing aircraft. The airliner said it is buying 110 jets, including 105 yet-to-be-certified Boeing 737 Max 10s. The minimal stock move may suggest that the market is more focused on the company's ability to ramp production and deliveries versus its backlog. Still, Jim continues to believe Boeing is "one of the best stocks in our portfolio" as the company is seeing increased production and demand, which should be followed by robust free cash flow. 4. Stocks covered in Wednesday's rapid fire at the end of the video were: Lowe's, Colgate , McDonald's , Deckers Outdoor , and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals . (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long BA, BMY, LLY. See here for a full list of the stocks.) As a sub...

Lenders to Saks Global Enterprises are grappling with a pressing question as it hurtles toward bankruptcy: How much — if anything at all — should they loan to the cash-strapped luxury retailer? Some existing creditors want to back a so-called debtor-in-possession loan of $1 billion or more so Saks can keep the lights on at its stores during a Chapter 11 process, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Others, though, are weighing whether to throw in the towel, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. While the specifics around any new bankruptcy debt package for Saks remain highly fluid, some lenders on Wednesday were closing in on terms that would provide $1 billion of new money, the people said. There are ongoing discussions around the cost of funding with the company, and the details haven’t been finalized, they said. A failure to win support for a sufficiently large financing package raises the risk that Saks could be forced to consider liquidating, rather than undergoing a court-supervised reorganization. The company has been negotiating a forbearance with some of its creditors, which could buy it more time to reach a financing agreement or devise a restructuring plan, Bloomberg reported this week. Saks declined to comment. A representative with company adviser PJT Partners Inc. didn’t respond to requests for comment. Lazard Inc., a creditor adviser, declined to comment, while Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison, also an adviser, didn’t respond to a request for comment. FTI Consulting Inc. is also advising creditors, according to people familiar with the matter. The firm declined to comment. The department-store chain, which operates its flagship Saks Fifth Avenue locations along with Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, is nearing a breaking point just a year after raising billions of dollars from bond investors to finance an ambitious turnaround plan. Late last month it missed an interest payment totaling more...

Spot The Odd One Out: Life Expectancy Vs Healthcare Spending As Warren Buffett popularized: “Price is what you pay, value is what you get”.

AI21 Labs , a Tel Aviv-based artificial intelligence startup, has held preliminary talks with Nvidia Corp. and other companies, though no deal is imminent, co-founder Amnon Shashua said. “There are talks with Nvidia, there are talks with others, but nothing even close to talking about it in the press,” Shashua said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Wednesday, without giving further details. He dismissed reports from the Israeli press that talks with potential bidders are more advanced. Israeli tech publication Calcalist said last month that Nvidia was in discussions to acquire AI21 for as much as $3 billion, citing unidentified sources. Shashua co-founded AI21 in 2017 with former Google principal scientist Yoav Shoham and entrepreneur Ori Goshen. The company works with enterprises to build their own generative AI apps, offering its agentic AI system, Maestro, and its Jamba family of large language models. Shashua is also the chief executive officer of Mobileye Global Inc., a self-driving car system company.

How could Donald Trump 'take' Greenland? 9 minutes ago Share Save Bernd Debusmann Jr , at the White House and Nick Beake & Kayla Epstein Share Save Watch: What Trump and Vance have said about Greenland Donald Trump wants to take Greenland - and the White House has confirmed that all options are on the table, including the use of force. While a military operation is just one of a range of economic and political options being considered, since it would be an attack by one Nato member on another, such a move would represent a nightmare scenario for the Nato alliance, and likely an existential one. Trump has repeatedly said that Greenland is vital to US national security, claiming without evidence that it is "covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place". With the expertise of US, British and Danish experts, we consider the various options the president may be looking at, and the possible justification for each one. Military Action Defence analysts say that a lightning operation to take Greenland could be done relatively easily, but the fallout would be monumental. While geographically massive, Greenland's population is only around 58,000, about a third of which is concentrated in Nuuk, the capital, with the bulk of the rest living on its western coast. The territory does not have its own military and Denmark is responsible for its defence, but it has limited air and naval assets in place to cover such a huge territory. Large swathes of it are policed only by Sirius Patrol, a Danish special operations unit that relies primarily on dog sleds. Denmark has, however, significantly upped defence spending in the Arctic and North Atlantic regions, including Greenland, in the past year. Its vast size, small population and lack of military would make it a ripe target for the US, which already has more than 100 military personnel permanently stationed at the Pituffik facility in Greenland's north-western tip. That facility could in theory serve as a logistical base f...

意大利指定银行发行双期限国债后，德国国债的牛市趋平走势有所收敛。周四意大利将发行新7年期国债和20年期绿色国债，将与葡萄牙10年期银团债发行以及法国和西班牙的传统债券展开竞争。 德国债券早前上涨，受到11月零售销售数据弱于预期和欧元区12月通胀放缓的影响。 货币市场加大了对欧洲央行降息的预期，将首次加息的时间预期从周一时体现的12月推迟到2027年3月。 英国国债也收窄涨幅，但收益率仍有望创下11月以来最大跌幅，其中2年期收益率下跌3个基点至3.67%，为2024年8月以来的最低水平；英国12月建筑业PMI低于预期，5年期国债出售获得良好需求，以及本季度长期国债供应前景有利，均提振了国债表现。 市场： 德国国债收益率下降3个基点至2.81%； 德国国债期货涨39点至128.07； 意大利10年期国债收益率下降3个基点至3.51%； 法国10年期国债收益率下降4个基点至3.52%； 10年期英国国债收益率下降7个基点至4.41%。 责任编辑：丁文武

The prime minister has promised to review laws governing franchising agreements, in response to the case of a former Vodafone store manager whose family alleges took his own life following pressure from the FTSE 100 telecoms group. Keir Starmer said in the Commons on Wednesday that he would “look closely” at the outcome of a high-profile legal claim against Vodafone. The comments follow a Guardian investigation in December, which revealed claims that Adrian Howe, a former Vodafone employee who had agreed to become a franchisee in 2018, drowned after becoming convinced his deal with the multinational company would prove financially disastrous. Rachael Beddow-Davison and Dan Attwal also told the Guardian about how commission cuts by Vodafone in 2020 caused their franchising companies to run up huge debts, which they each said contributed to them attempting to kill themselves. Beddow-Davison and Attwal are two of a group of 62 former Vodafone franchisees who brought a high court claim in 2024, alleging the telecoms company “unjustly enriched” itself and which MPs have compared to the Post Office Horizon IT scandal. During prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, Johanna Baxter MP said: “Adrian Howe was a successful and dedicated Vodafone store manager of over 20 years … he was offered the opportunity to take on a franchise of one of their thriving stores. “But then the goalposts changed and he was then forced to take on a struggling store. And just days before he was due to open that store, Adrian stepped into a lake and didn’t ever return home. “Adrian’s wife and widow, my constituent Tracey, is wondering if the prime minister will review franchising legislation to ensure there is a balance of power between companies and the franchisee so that nobody else feels undue pressure when they take on a franchise?” Starmer replied: “Obviously there’s a live legal case I can’t comment on, but I can reassure her that we’ll look closely at the final outcome of that case. There a...
