The badge of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Michael M. Santiago | Getty Images U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot a man in California on Tuesday, after he allegedly "weaponized his vehicle" and tried to run over an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said. The agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in the town of Patterson to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, who is allegedly a member of the 18th Street Gang wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder, according to authorities. "As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over," said Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE. "Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public," Lyons said. "The illegal alien was taken to a local hospital."

straga/iStock via Getty Images National Fuel Gas ( NFG ) up 1.5% in Tuesday's trading as KeyBanc initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and $110 price target, saying the company remains an under - the - radar e nergy story despite ongoing growth initiatives and positive catalysts playing out . National Fuel Gas' ( NFG ) pending $ 2 . 6 B acquisition of CenterPoint Energy’s Ohio gas utility business creates a much larger local distribution company and doubles the rate base, and the increased scale for this regulated business further stabilizes the broader earnings profile while also fortifying its investment-grade rating, KeyBanc's Tim Rezvan said . In the company's Integrated Upstream & Gathering segment, Rezvan sees efficiency tailwinds from the recent activity pivot to the more prolific Eastern Development Area, where the Utica shale interval is proving to be highly productive and consistent; delineation efforts continue to improve the company's inventory depth, estimated at 15 years of sub-$1.75/mcf inventory at the current pace of 25-27 wells/year. Given current limited local demand growth, the analyst sees challenges to significantly ramping production but noted that National Fuel Gas ( NFG ) grew volumes at a 7% compound annual growth rate during FY 2023-25, with capex declining at a 5% compound annual growth rate over the same period, results that speak to the improving productivity of the Tioga County Utica, the focus of NFG's drilling program. Looking to the regulated segments, Rezvan said he sees organic and inorganic growth opportunities driving scale and a stronger and more stable earnings base; the Utility segment is progressing the $2.6B acquisition of CNP Ohio, a transformational deal that doubles the rate base and expands the LDC footprint from legacy utility operating areas in New York and Pennsylvania.

Alexey_Arz/iStock via Getty Images Digital asset investment products reportedly saw a strong start last week, reporting ~$224M in inflows. XRP ( XRP-USD ) quietly took the lead, pulling in ~$119.6M—its strongest weekly number since mid-Dec 2025. This flow pushed XRP YTD inflows to ~$159M, now making up about 7% of total AuM. However, the positive momentum faded later in the week, as strong retail sales data and rising expectations of tighter policies made investors cautious. This led to small outflows towards the week's end, reported CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) recorded $107.3M in inflows, helping recover from the monthly low, though it remains in a $145M net outflow position on an MTD basis. Interestingly, short-Bitcoin products saw $16M in inflows—the highest since November, pointing to a split view among investors. On the other hand, Solana ( SOL-USD ) recorded $34.9M in inflows. In contrast, Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) saw $52.8M in outflows as investors reacted negatively to the developments and delays surrounding the Clarity Act, said Butterfill. These crypto ETF flows were also uneven across regions. Switzerland stood out with $157.5M in inflows, Germany with $27.7M, and Canada with $11.2M, while the U.S. came in third position with only $27.5M in inflows. As far as the April 6 flow is concerned, the data remained strong as Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) saw strong inflows of $471M and Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) saw $120M, while XRP saw zero participation, as per SoSoValue data. However, the overall crypto market sentiment remains weak, with the crypto fear and greed index sitting at extreme fear level 11 due to rising geopolitical tension. This cautious tone keeps experts focused on how the current week unfolds.

Eldorado Gold Corp. ’s C$3.8 billion ($2.7 billion) bid to buy Foran Mining Corp. won shareholder support, advancing plans to create a larger Canadian gold-and-copper miner after the company overcame an activist campaign that had cast doubt on the deal’s prospects. Almost 85% of Eldorado shareholders who voted at a meeting on Tuesday supported the acquisition, exceeding the 50% threshold required for the transaction to proceed. Foran investors backed the takeover at a separate meeting earlier in the day. Eldorado, which owns gold projects in Canada and Europe, launched a cash-and-stock offer in February to acquire all of Foran’s shares. The purchase — unanimously backed by both boards — increases Eldorado’s exposure to copper, a metal increasingly prized by miners as electrification drives demand and the cost of developing new deposits climbs. Conflicting guidance from proxy advisers ahead of the vote had clouded the outcome. Last week, Glass Lewis & Co. recommended Eldorado shareholders oppose the transaction, citing concerns the company overvalued the target. By contrast, Institutional Shareholder Services urged investors in both Eldorado and Foran to support the takeover. Read More: Eldorado Gold Plan to Buy Foran Opposed by Glass Lewis Mixed signals from Eldorado investors also raised questions about support for the acquisition, including vocal disapproval from L1 Capital, the company’s third-largest shareholder. The Melbourne-based hedge fund wrote to Eldorado’s board last month requesting the miner terminate the takeover proposal. L1 Co-Chief Investment Officer Raphael Lamm called it “one of the most value-destructive deals we have seen in decades of investing in the mid-cap mining sector.” Two major pension funds, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, disclosed different voting intentions ahead of Tuesday’s meeting, with the former backing the transaction and the latter opposing it.

vadishzainer/iStock via Getty Images Sell Strategy Comes Into Focus as Trump Threatens Iran War in Iran has elevated uncertainty and volatility in global markets, driving oil prices above $115 per barrel, reaching levels not seen since 2022, and reigniting inflation concerns. Factoring in the latest warnings by President Donald Trump ahead of his 8:00 pm ET deadline for Iran to make a deal, the ripple effects are being felt across asset classes, with stocks facing weakened investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the bond market is repricing the rate outlook as Federal Reserve rate cuts are no longer expected, as higher energy costs threaten to keep inflation elevated. Oil Hits $115 as Fear Increases Ahead of Iran Deadline Seeking Alpha Despite mounting geopolitical risk, the S&P 500 broke its five-week losing streak and started this week slightly higher. Against this backdrop, markets appear to be at a critical inflection point, where broad-based optimism can either continue drifting higher or shift lower, giving way to a more selective, risk-aware approach. This environment calls for a disciplined stock selection strategy around what to buy, hold, and sell. While I’ve covered ideas for stocks to buy on the recent dip , this week’s rebound back to declines brings us to an opportunity to highlight some names with Strong Sell ratings. Best Stocks to Sell Now Stocks with poor fundamentals, facing headwinds from the current environment, or at risk amid potential rising inflation may be worth selling. To select the five Quant Strong Sells to feature in this article, I used the Seeking Alpha Stock Screener and targeted Quant Strong Sells. For demonstrative purposes, I also filtered for Wall Street Buys and Strong Buys. Then I selected stocks from a range of sectors with market caps above $10 billion to target large caps that may be more widely held than smaller companies. 1. Crown Castle Inc.

Anthropic's ( ANTHRO ) newest artificial intelligence model, Mythos, which was originally leaked last month, has been made available to some of the biggest companies in tech, The Wall Street Journal reported. Anthropic has made the model available in preview to roughly 50 companies and organizations that deal with critical internet infrastructure, including Amazon ( AMZN ), Apple ( AAPL ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), and the Linux Foundation, the news outlet added . Details of Mythos became known due to a cache of documents that were stored in the company's content management system; it was exposed due to a “human error” in the CMS configuration, Anthropic said. It included not-yet published blog posts and other information, such as details for a planned invite-only CEO summit in Europe later this year. An Anthropic spokesman described Mythos as “a general-purpose model with meaningful advances in reasoning, coding, and cybersecurity.” “Given the strength of its capabilities, we're being deliberate about how we release it,” the spokesman added.

The S&P 500 index has plunged almost 9% from its January all-time high amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. With oil prices soaring, Wall Street is worried about a slowdown in the U.S. economy and in corporate earnings. Some individual tech stocks have declined even more sharply than the S&P 500, including Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) which is currently down 20% from its record high. While the company could be impacted by economic uncertainty in the short term, demand for its data center chips is likely to remain rock-solid in the medium and long term, given their critical role in artificial intelligence (AI) development. Nvidia stock is currently cheaper than the S&P 500 on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) basis for the first time in 13 years, presenting investors with a potential once-in-a-decade buying opportunity. Here's why they might want to grab it with both hands. Continue reading

Tatiana rico/iStock via Getty Images Background President Donald Trump has warned Iran that if a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reached within mere hours, a “whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” (You can see the rest of the Truth Social post below.) Markets suffered a selloff shortly after the message, but while I don’t believe that the President is bluffing in his threats, I also doubt that he intends to attack the Iranian people directly, as I will explain later. Truth Social For now, the Trump Administration and the government of Iran are locked in a staring contest, and it’s hard to predict who will blink first. President Trump will not blink, in my opinion, but could prove quite willing to hold off on attacks so long as Iran makes at least some concessions and overtures. This would likely boost markets, substantially at first, but if progress in further negotiations stalls again or the war intensifies elsewhere, the rally could be smothered quickly. The timeline feels increasingly constrained, and while the Trump Administration has signaled they see an end to the conflict , I believe the chances are equally high that the war will escalate. I’d be surprised if the Trump Administration and the Iranian government can reach an agreement before the deadline expires. Indeed, the Iranian government has apparently cut off communication with the Trump Administration as the deadline fast approaches. Investing is sometimes a game of hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. The same has proven true in global geopolitical negotiations, and not just with Iran, but also Russia, the Venezuelan government, etc. Right now, that approach strikes me as prudent. Thesis Any aggressive moves by the United States are likely to sink markets. It’s not simply that investors are war-weary. Indeed, escalating the war will likely stoke government demand, thus potentially stimulating the economy. At the very least, this demand would blunt the...
