At 6 a.m. ET, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose over 3 basis points to 4.17%, and the 30-year Treasury bond added 3 basis points to yield 4.788%. The 2-year Treasury note yield was over 4 basis points higher to 3.598%. One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions. Investors are watching oil prices, which jumped more than 25% earlier to above $110 a barrel, fueling concerns about rising energy costs and an inflation spike. West Texas Intermediate later pulled back and was last trading around $99 per barrel, and global benchmark Brent was at $102 per barrel. The surge in oil prices came after major Middle Eastern oil producers, Kuwait, Iran, and the UAE, cut oil production following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the war.

March S&P 500 E-Mini futures ( ESH26 ) are down -1.08%, and March Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures ( NQH26 ) are down -1.12% this morning, pointing to further losses on Wall Street as the escalating Middle East conflict triggered fresh turmoil in energy markets. The price of WTI crude climbed above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022 after Middle Eastern producers began cutting output over the weekend and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz was effectively halted. Oil pared some of its earlier advance, while stock index futures clawed back some of the session’s worst losses after the Financial Times reported that G7 finance ministers would meet to discuss releasing strategic reserves. However, the jump was enough to intensify concerns of an inflation shock, pushing the 10-year T-note yield up four basis points to 4.18%. The U.S. and Iran appeared to be bracing for what could become a prolonged conflict. Iran named the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as its new supreme leader, while President Trump said higher oil prices were a “very small price to pay” for safety and peace. Beyond the Middle East conflict, investors are looking ahead to a pair of U.S. inflation reports and earnings reports from several high-profile companies this week. In Friday’s trading session, Wall Street’s major equity averages closed sharply lower. The Magnificent Seven stocks fell, with Meta Platforms ( META ) and Tesla ( TSLA ) dropping over -2%. Also, chip stocks sank after Oracle and OpenAI reportedly abandoned plans to expand an AI data center in Texas, with Lam Research ( LRCX ) slumping more than -7% and Micron Technology ( MU ) sliding over -6%. In addition, financial stocks plunged, weighed down by a more than -7% drop in BlackRock ( BLK ) after it curbed withdrawals from a private-credit fund. On the bullish side, Marvell Technology ( MRVL ) jumped over +18% and was the top percentage gainer on the Nasdaq 100 after the chipmaker posted upbeat Q4 results and issued solid Q1 g...

Win McNamee/Getty Images News President Donald Trump said he will not sign any bills until Congress passes the controversial Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which would require proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. "It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE," Trump posted on Truth Social. He added, "I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN!" The House passed the SAVE America Act last month, but the bill requires 60 votes to pass the Senate without a filibuster. Republicans have a 53-47 vote majority in the Senate, and Democrats said they would oppose the measure. "The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) posted on X. "If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate." To note, a bill automatically becomes law if the President does not sign or veto it within 10 days of its passing while Congress is in session.

Late last week, torrential rain in Nairobi, Kenya, led to severe flooding. Heavy thunderstorms on Friday, in combination with poor drainage systems in parts of the city, led to at least eight flooding deaths and two deaths linked to electrocution, while more than 70 vehicles became trapped or stranded. The Kenya meteorological department had issued a moderate to heavy rainfall warning for much of the country from Tuesday 3 March to Monday 9 March, with the heaviest rainfall expected between Wednesday and Saturday. Areas in Nairobi such as Westlands, Dagoretti, Roysambu and Embakasi were expected to be hit by some of the heaviest downpours, with daily totals forecast to reach between 30mm and 70mm. In reality, within the space of 24 hours, 6am on Friday to 6am on Saturday, 112mm of rain was recorded at a station in Nairobi, considerably more than estimated. For context, the average amount of rainfall recorded by this station for the whole of March is 92.2mm, meaning more than 120% of the average monthly rainfall fell within a single day. Events such as this are rare but not unheard of. In May 2015, 189.1mm was recorded within 24 hours, marking this station’s all time daily rainfall record. March and April 2018 were also exceptionally wet months for this station, but rainfall was more spread out, rather than concentrated within a few days. However, in April 2018 alone, 495mm of rain was recorded, which is almost five times the monthly average. Because Kenya is situated just south of the equator, it has a “bimodal seasonality”, meaning it has two distinct rainy periods in the year, rather than one. These seasons are driven by the migration of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), a band of low pressure which encircles the Earth, as it follows the sun across the equator twice a year. As the ITCZ shifts northwards through the region between March and May, it triggers the “long rains” which is currently bringing the heavy downpours to the region. Then, between Octobe...

Harder than bringing in or leaving out any player is to replace an entire plan. "Lee has been widely regarded as one of the country's top attack coaches," said Borthwick in September as he welcomed attack coach Lee Blackett on board full-time. "His teams play fast, exciting rugby that consistently look to score tries." Blackett impressed in a temporary stint on the summer tour of Argentina. England scored seven tries across their two Test victories over the Pumas. In his final season with Bath he coaxed 96 regular-season tries out of the eventual Premiership champions - the most any team had scored in the three seasons since the league contracted with the loss of Wasps, Worcester and London Irish. Blackett was also inheriting an England side that had enjoyed a stellar 2025 Six Nations campaign, racking up 25 tries - the most they have managed in almost a quarter of a century - under the guidance of Richard Wigglesworth. Somewhere along the line, though, England have misplaced their cutting edge. They have 14 tries and a clutch of wasted opportunities and platforms to show from this season's competition. Once again against Italy - as in their defeats by Scotland and Ireland - they averaged less than two points per 22m entry. That figure is substantially below par for any team with serious title aspirations. The players have insisted they are happy with the tactics they are being asked to play, but Blackett and Wigglesworth are an excellent brains trust for Borthwick to consult if he decides to reshape the gameplan. While tactics based around the aerial contest, territory and minimising risk have been a feature of Borthwick's teams since he took charge of Leicester in his first head coach role in 2020, he has shown flexibility on defence. The ultra-aggressive blitz that former defence coach Felix Jones implemented in 2024 has been tempered, with cohesion now valued over line speed. A shift in attack, which brings England's undoubted talent to bear and leaves them less...

It’s no secret that PC component prices have been hit hard by the ongoing memory crisis. Putting potential upgrades on the back burner has become a common theme for enthusiasts in 2026, but if you are feeling the need for a refresh, there are still a few outliers to consider. One such example is the Radeon RX 9070 16GB graphics card, which, as of this morning, can be found for £489 here in ol’ Blighty. That’s just over 7% lower than the official AMD MSRP, and the lowest price to date. The card in question is a PowerColor Reaper, with models from Asus, Gigabyte and Sapphire typically fetching a little more. PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 16GB “It packs enough rasterisation performance to either outperform GeForce RTX 5070 at best or be a handful of frames behind at worst. Combine this with a larger 16GB frame buffer and it becomes an attractive mainstream option” Read our Radeon RX 9070 review. Buy from Amazon UK There have been rumours of the 9070’s demise, with AMD reportedly prioritising the faster RX 9070 XT as a result of the memory shortage. How exactly Team Red’s product stack evolves throughout 2026 remains to be seen, but it’s almost certain that these prices won’t hold for long. Temptation to lean toward the XT variant remains, especially with partner cards hovering close to MSRP in current 9070 XT deals, but for anyone on a strict budget, keeping on the right side of £500 makes the regular RX 9070 an attractive proposition. Often beating its rival GeForce RTX 5070 in terms of pure rasterisation, the Radeon RX 9070 also touts greater future proofing courtesy of 16GB of GDDR6 memory. While it’s true the GeForce holds sway with regards to upscaling and frame-generation tech, the Radeon continues to close the gap with the latest FSR Redstone updates. QHD gameplay is the sweet spot, with Radeon RX 9070 routinely delivering well in excess of 100fps in our own benchmarks at 2560×1440, and its total system power consumption of ~350W is about as good as it gets in this ...

(RTTNews) - Indian shares slumped on Monday as the Iran-Israel-U.S. war entered its 10th day and the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route, remained shut for the sixth consecutive day. Oil prices surged past $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022 as investors braced for a potentially prolonged standoff in the Middle East and a global energy crisis. Earlier, WTI crude futures soared over 20 percent to $110 a barrel and Brent crude futures added more than 24 percent at $115 a barrel, following production cuts by major Middle Eastern producers—including Kuwait, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. The economic fallout from surging oil prices is expected to significantly impact India's trade deficit and inflation. Every $10 per barrel increase in crude oil prices is estimated to widen India's trade deficit by approximately 30 percent and boost retail inflation by 49-58 basis points. The benchmark BSE Sensex ended down 1,352.74 points, or 1.71 percent, at 77,566.16 after hitting a low of 76,424.55 earlier. The broader NSE Nifty index hit an intraday low of 23,697.80 before recovering some lost ground to close down 422.40 points, or 1.73 percent, at 24,028.05. The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indexes tumbled 2 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. The market breadth was weak on the BSE, with 3,376 shares falling while 975 shares rose and 185 shares closed unchanged. Among the prominent decliners, ICICI Bank, Asian Paints, Larsen & Toubro, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, IndiGo, SBI, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India and UltraTech India plummeted 3-5 percent.
