Argentina’s Treasury is buying dollars entering the local market from the privatization of hydroelectric power plants, amassing greenbacks ahead of a key payment on its bonds due this week, according to a person familiar with the matter. On Monday alone, the Treasury bought more than half of the proceeds from the $700 million privatization through transactions known as block trades outside the official market, the person said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Argentina has $4.3 billion due in principal and interest on Jan. 9. Bond investors are optimistic that the payment will be made: debt maturing in 2030 trades at around 85.5 cents on the dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. What’s been less clear is whether the Treasury would be able to cobble together enough dollars on its own to make the payment or would have to tap the central bank’s foreign reserves. Economy Minister Luis Caputo ’s options to scrape together the remaining funds include a possible repurchase agreement — effectively a loan — with Wall Street banks, or tapping Argentina’s $20 billion swap line with the US Treasury Department. For now, Caputo has downplayed the likelihood of selling bonds abroad in January. Last week, Argentine authorities took steps to prepare for a repurchase agreement, with Caputo executing a debt swap with the central bank — one element of the government’s previous repos with banks. On Monday, the central bank made its first dollar purchase in nine months, buying $21 million in the foreign-exchange market, according to an official statement. The authority had already publicly said it would begin a reserve-accumulation process starting in 2026, as markets and the IMF had been calling for.

Trump Admin Expands Massive Funding Cuts To Blue States Amid Widening Fraud Scandal The Trump administration has taken decisive action against rampant welfare fraud beyond Minnesota , escalating a long-overdue reckoning for lax oversight under Democrat governance. Following explosive revelations of massive fraud schemes - many tied to the state's Somali immigrant community - the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has not only frozen federal child care payments to Minnesota, but has slashed funding allocated for social services and child care for multiple blue states , affecting programs such as the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the Social Services Block Grant, the New York Post revealed Monday. The Post reports: At least $7.35 billion in TANF money will be prevented from going to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The CCDF funding block of nearly $2.4 billion affects all those states. Another $869 million from the Social Services Block Grant coffers is being kept from all five states as well. The funding pauses were to be announced via letters to each state sent Monday, citing concerns that benefits were fraudulently going to non-US citizens. The move comes amid the continuing fallout from viral video by citizen reporter Nick Shirley, who documented dozens of purported child care facilities in Minneapolis that appeared empty or minimally operated yet received millions in taxpayer subsidies. Last week, HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill announced the freeze on payments from the Child Care and Development Fund, declaring that future disbursements would require receipts, photos, and justifications to prevent abuse. Minnesota, which receives roughly $218 million annually for its Child Care Assistance Program serving low-income families, now faces heightened scrutiny , including demands for audits of suspect centers. The Trump administration’s actions aim to address a broader cri...

Key Points Beyond Meat is still losing money and reporting declining sales. It made two unusual filings with the SEC in December. There have been some positive business developments. 10 stocks we like better than Beyond Meat › Shares of Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) stock dropped 17% in December, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Investors continue to lose hope in a rebound, and it made some announcements related to stock dilution and debt that did not enthuse the market. What happened in December Beyond Meat's sales have been declining for years at this point, and it's losing money quickly. In the 2025 fiscal third quarter (ended Sept. 27), sales declined another 13.3% year over year, and the company produced a $110 million net loss. It ended the quarter with $131 million in cash and $1.2 billion in debt, and it reported a $98 million operating cash flow loss. 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 » It's in a precarious situation right now, and although the market has been disappointed in it for a while, things got a bit worse in December. First, it announced a prospectus for "Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt securities, Warrants, Purchase Contracts, and Units," and said that it "may offer and sell the securities identified above from time to time in one or more offerings." Although this doesn't seem to imply that it's going to dilute its shares immediately, the market wasn't too thrilled with the news. The day after the prospectus came out, the company filed another update with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to amend certain loan agreements with a lender called Unprocessed Foods. It had issued warrants to the company last May, and it adjusted the strike price from $3.26 to $1.95. Beyond Meat needs the cash it would get from Unprocessed Foods exercising these warrants. However, given that Beyond Meat's stock price sits at $0.91 as...

Antoine Semenyo is set to have a medical at Manchester City and his move is expected to be completed before Saturday. City have agreed to meet Semenyo's £65m release clause, which must be activated by 10 January. The Bournemouth winger is due to have his medical after the Cherries' game against Tottenham on Wednesday (19:30 GMT). Despite interest from five clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham, City are the only team to have made formal contact with Bournemouth. "I think it could be the last game," said Cherries manager Andoni Iraola before his side host Spurs. "That is my personal opinion, but there is nothing agreed and nothing signed. It is my personal opinion as I understand the market and the noise but there is nothing agreed right now. "He, right now, is our player and I hope it continues." Semenyo has scored nine goals and provided three assists for Bournemouth this season. Iraola also added that the Ghana international is "almost impossible to replace".

The investment thesis for the AI sector is expected to be as vibrant as ever this year, but investors should be selective about the funds they pick. Many investors are optimistic about the outlook for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks in 2026, with nine in 10 respondents to a recent Motley Fool survey indicating that they plan to maintain or increase their exposure to AI-related equities this year. That optimism is warranted. In terms of AI execution and preparedness, the top 10 stocks in Motley Fool's Moneyball database generated an average return over the past five years that was more than double that of the S&P 500. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but those past performances are among the reasons why market participants are bullish on AI. That positivity will likely also affect exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on artificial intelligence companies. AI ETFs are advantageous options for investors because they provide easy access to baskets of stocks, eliminating the need for people to attempt to predict which specific companies will be the biggest winners. However, there's more to consider when evaluating AI ETFs and those funds' roles in your portfolio this year. With AI ETFs, purity is pertinent There are dozens of ETFs with AI ties, but investors should note that there are meaningful differences between AI adjacency and purity. For example, sector ETFs such as the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT +1.01%) and the Fidelity MSCI Information Technology ETF (FTEC +0.91%) are broader plays on technology, but have AI connections by way of their large weightings in stocks like Nvidia and Microsoft. On the other hand, pure-play AI ETFs have qualifiers to ensure a degree of purity. For example, the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ +0.66%), the largest ETF in the category, mandates that its components be "positioned to benefit from the further development and utilization of AI in their products and services," or AI h...

Hampton Inn, Lakeville, MN. Google Earth Hilton Hotels said Tuesday that it will sever ties with a franchise hotel in the Minneapolis area after a new video showed a desk clerk there refusing to book rooms for a person claiming to be a Department of Homeland Security agent. Hilton's statement came a day after the company that owns the location, Everpeak Hospitality , apologized for canceling a prior reservation for real DHS agents because of their work on immigration enforcement, and said that such a ban was not consistent with its policy of "being a welcoming place for all." "The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this," Hilton said in a statement Tuesday on the social media site X, which was also sent by a spokesperson to CNBC. "A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values," Hilton said. "As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems." "Hilton is — and has always been — a welcoming place for all," the statement said. "We are also engaging with our all of our franchisees to reinforce the standards we hold them to across our system to help ensure this does not happen again." Hilton Hotel logo is seen on one of their hotels. John Lamparski | Lightrocket | Getty Images The statement was posted hours after a tweet by the conservative independent journalist Nick Sortor , which contained a video of him visiting the Hampton Inn by Hilton Lakeview Minneapolis on Monday night — hours after Everpeak issued its apology — and trying to book 10 rooms for what Sortor said were DHS employees. "So, we're not accepting people from Immigration, ICE agents, DHS into our property," the clerk said. "That's just our management, ownership." When Sortor said he thought the policy had changed "today" — Monday — the clerk replied, "I just talked to the owner of the building, and he didn't say there had been any changes." "Yeah, it's just policy...

Alphabet and Amazon are two smart growth stocks to buy right now. If you're starting out investing and have $1,000 or more to put to work, investing in some top growth stocks of market leaders can be a smart idea. Let's look at two great growth stocks to buy right now. Alphabet While Alphabet (GOOGL 0.99%) (GOOG 1.10%) is best known for its ubiquitous search engine, the company is a lot more than just Google Search. The company also owns YouTube, the world's largest streaming platform, while its cloud computing unit, Google Cloud, is its fastest-growing segment. Meanwhile, it is also the majority owner of robotaxi service Waymo, and it has developed its own chip for quantum computing. Google Search is still its largest business, and the company created a wide moat through both distribution and its ad network. Alphabet owns both the market-share leading Chrome browser and Android operating system, which helps make Google search the default search engine on more than 70% of devices. Expand NASDAQ : GOOGL Alphabet Today's Change ( -0.99 %) $ -3.13 Current Price $ 313.41 Key Data Points Market Cap $3.8T Day's Range $ 311.80 - $ 320.94 52wk Range $ 140.53 - $ 328.83 Volume 663K Avg Vol 36M Gross Margin 59.18 % Dividend Yield 0.26 % Meanwhile, a search revenue-sharing deal with Apple helps cover most of the rest, making Google the gateway to the internet for most people. At the same time, the company can better monetize search than anyone else through its vast ad network, which can equally serve everyone from large global clients to local mom-and-pops. While artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the landscape, Alphabet has embraced the technology. It's created its own world-class large language model (LLM) in Gemini, which it is embedding throughout its products, including Google Search. New features like AI Mode and AI Overviews are helping drive queries and revenue, while its stand-alone Gemini app is also gaining a lot of traction. At the same time, Alphabet has als...

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Nicolas Maduro of imitating his dancing, among other crimes, as he celebrated the capture of the Venezuelan leader in a freewheeling speech to Republican lawmakers. Trump’s comments come after a New York Times report that Maduro’s regular public dancing in defiance of US threats convinced White House officials that it was time to act. “He gets up there and he tries to imitate my dance a little bit,” Trump told lawmakers at the Kennedy Centre in Washington – which was recently renamed the Trump-Kennedy Centre by his hand-picked board.
