Bill Gates, chair of the Gates Foundation, speaks at the Bloomberg Philanthropies 2025 Global Business Forum in New York on Sept. 24, 2025. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Bill Gates spoke about his association with Jeffrey Epstein in a town hall meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation , a spokesperson for the nonprofit said Wednesday, after recently released emails elaborated on the Microsoft co-founder's relationship with the sex offender. Gates said in a recording of the meeting that he "did nothing illicit" during his interactions with Epstein and did not stay overnight, although they met in several countries, The Wall Street Journal reported. Gates also told staff members at the Tuesday meeting that he had an affair with a Russian bridge player and a Russian nuclear physicist and that associate Boris Nikolic had discussed those relationships with Epstein, according to the Journal. He and Melinda French, who once were co-chairs of the foundation, divorced in 2021 . "In the conversation, Bill answered questions submitted by foundation staff on a range of issues, including the release of the Epstein files, the foundation's work in AI, and the future of global health," a Gates Foundation representative told CNBC in an email. "In the townhall, Bill spoke candidly, addressing several questions in detail, and took responsibility for his actions."

Ivan_Sabo/iStock via Getty Images From 2009 to 2022, alternative and private lenders multiplied as traditional banks tightened underwriting standards and yield-starved investors looked beyond conventional options. As usual, ‘easy money’ led to overconfident, under-analyzed allocation decisions across many asset classes at once. Real estate busts tend to be slow-moving, and then suddenly, all at once. Eight years after the US commercial market peak, the price discovery in current sales is wiping out years of prior price appreciation. The 90% price cut to a landmark Chicago building highlighted below gives a sense of the magnitude of write-downs unfolding. Residential markets have largely frozen on the still-massive overshoot between current asking prices and the level buyers are willing and able to pay. With sales volumes at 45-year lows in 2026, price discovery remains far below what most can presently fathom. New home sales are approaching an all-time low in Toronto. Janice Golding has more on the struggle to sell recently built housing. If the Canadian average national home sale price were to return to even 2018 levels, it would require a further drop of 25% from 670K today to about $500k (and a drop of about 40% from the February 2022 peak of $827k). If you think that can’t happen, you are not well-studied in the aftermath of real estate bubbles. Broad price discovery is yet to occur in equity, credit and ‘alternative asset’ markets. There will come a day, there too, when people will look at their purchase prices and account statements from the glory days of the bubble and say, “What were we thinking?” Disclosure: No positions Original Post Editor's Note: The summary bullets for this article were chosen by Seeking Alpha editors.

Nvidia shares ticked higher in midday trading Wednesday, ahead of earnings due after the close. The chip maker's stock has slipped more than 6% from its October all-time high—when it became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market valuation—as investors begin to question whether the AI spending that fuels its growth can be sustained. Despite the semiconductor maker not having missed Wall Street’s targets in at least five years, its earnings have triggered big stock moves in both directions.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban received a sobering reality check after an independent poll showed his party trailing by 20 points among decided voters ahead of Hungary’s April 12 election. Such a result would give the opposition Tisza party of Peter Magyar a supermajority in parliament, allowing it to move quickly to reverse Hungary’s slide toward authoritarianism after 16 years of Orban rule. The stakes extend beyond Hungary. Orban is Donald Trump’s closest ally in Europe and the loudest advocate of the Kremlin four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The US president has endorsed the Hungarian premier for the upcoming election. The vote is being closely watched in Brussels, where the European Union has frozen more than $20 billion of Hungary’s funding due to rule of law and graft concerns. The bloc has frequently clashed with Orban, who calls Ukraine the “enemy” and made Hungary’s war-torn eastern neighbor the centerpiece of his campaign. This week, Hungary, along with Slovakia, torpedoed, at least for now the 20th package of sanctions against Moscow as well as a €90 billion ($106 billion) loan to Ukraine, citing the stop of oil flows via Ukraine after a Russian attack on a pipeline. What You Need to Know Today Iran has been loading oil onto tankers at a rapid pace in recent days , a potential sign of the Persian Gulf state’s preparations in case of an attack by the US. Exports from Kharg Island from Feb. 15 to 20 were at nearly 20.1 million barrels, data from Kpler show. That’s almost three times the amount loaded over the same dates in January. The increase comes as the US amasses the largest fighting force in the Middle East since the second Gulf War in 2003. Last year, shortly before American air strikes, Iran rushed to get its oil out of its ports by shipping large volumes onto tankers and sending as much as it could to Kharg Island. A similar pattern was also observed in 2024 during a period of elevated tension. Christine Lagarde is expected to leave the ...
