Kanye West Banned From UK: Wireless Festival Cancelled After Home Office Revokes Travel Authorization The UK Home Office has barred Kanye West (aka Ye) from entering the country, ruling that his presence “would not be conducive to the public good.” The decision, made hours after he received an initial Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) on Monday, has triggered the immediate and complete cancellation of Wireless Festival, where he was set to headline all three nights in July at Finsbury Park. "The Home Office has withdrawn Ye’s ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom. As a result, Wireless festival is cancelled and refunds will be issued to all ticket holders , said the promoter, Festival Republic. Kanye West’s Response In a statement released shortly after the ban was announced, West offered to meet members of the UK’s Jewish community directly. “ If you’re open, I’m here… I will show change through my actions. ” He added that he acknowledged “words alone are not enough” and hoped the meeting could begin a conversation. And of course, the whole thing was a fiasco before the ban - with Festival Republic managing director Melvin Benn issuing a lengthy and unusually candid statement defending the booking. He described himself as “a deeply committed anti-fascist” who had lived on a kibbutz in Israel in the 1970s (one of the communities later attacked on 7 October). He also referenced having close family members with mental illness and appealed for understanding: “Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do.” ... “ We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our coun...

Bond investors who’ve seen losses on US Treasuries mount amid the unfolding war in the Middle East are positioning for even more declines as President Donald Trump ’s deadline looms for Iran to agree a ceasefire deal. Trump threatened devastating strikes on critical infrastructure in Iran if Tehran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. While last-minute attempts at a diplomatic truce were still continuing late in the New York session, Trump’s aggressive rhetoric has put markets on edge and left US Treasury yields at the higher end of their recent range. It’s the latest ultimatum by a president who has repeatedly set deadlines only to extend the timeline for talks. His shifting rhetoric has roiled markets and left traders at times grasping for direction — with volatile oil and energy markets helping to set the tone. This environment has put investors from Brandywine Global Investment Management to BlackRock Inc. on the defensive. “I like having conviction about the market, and I don’t have that at the moment,” said Jack McIntyre , portfolio manager at Brandywine. “Whether you are bullish or bearish on bonds, nobody has an edge, and any positioning you put on now, it could be a case of being lucky.” Inflation has been the main concern, sparking a big shift in monetary policy expectations away from interest—rate cuts to even pricing in the possibility of hikes. Fresh worries around growth risks have tempered that sentiment somewhat, yet even as traders have backed away from an extreme negative bias, they remain bearish, anticipating higher US bond yields, market data shows. An investor survey released Tuesday by JPMorgan Chase & Co. also showed bearish momentum building in the cash market. Net long positions decreased by 9 percentage points, reflecting the least bullish stance on Treasuries in three weeks. “There is a desensitization due to the never-ending reel of volatile headlines, but it is important to remain alert,” said Kambiz Kazem...
A foreign-flagged tanker is sailing from Washington State to California, one of the first non-US vessels to bring fuel to the region from another US state after the Trump administration waived Jones Act maritime restrictions last month.

A foreign-flagged tanker is sailing from Washington State to California, one of the first non-US vessels to bring fuel to the region from another US state after the Trump administration waived Jones Act maritime restrictions last month. The Marshall Islands-flagged Garnet Express, a medium-range ship designed for refined oil products, is headed from Marathon Petroleum Corp. ’s Anacortes Refinery in Washington to the San Francisco area, according to ship tracking data from Vortexa. The tanker typically carries jet fuel. The unusual voyage of a non-US tanker between two West Coast states offers the latest example of how much the war in Iran has upended global fuel supply routes and added further pressure to California’s already tight fuel market. Fuel prices around the globe have soared since the Middle East conflict effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which roughly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil passes. California is particularly vulnerable to surging oil prices. No pipelines carry fuels into the state from refineries along the US Gulf Coast, and the state has also seen two refineries shutter since October 2025, eliminating roughly 20% of its capacity. That leaves California heavily reliant on imports from other countries, as well as US states with refining capacity such as Washington, to supplement its fuel supply. Before the war, that fuel typically arrived on US-flagged ships as is required by the Jones Act. But as fuel prices surged nationally, the Trump administration temporarily waived the century-old law in late March, allowing foreign-flagged vessels to transport a range of commodities — including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel — between US ports for 60 days.

Super Micro Computer Inc. said a committee of its independent directors has hired a law firm and is investigating the circumstances surrounding an indictment last month of two employees and a contractor over the sale of servers to China. “The independent directors have not set a definitive timetable for the investigation,” Super Micro said Tuesday in a statement . “The company will provide an update when the investigation is complete and does not intend to comment further until that time.” US prosecutors charged Super Micro co-founder Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw and two others with illegally diverting billions of dollars in Nvidia Corp.-powered servers to China in violation of export-control laws. Liaw, Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang, who served as a general manager in Super Micro’s Taiwan office, and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, an outside contractor, allegedly sold the hardware to an unnamed Southeast Asian company and coordinated its ultimate shipment to Chinese customers. All three have pleaded not guilty. In addition, to the probe, Super Micro said it has initiated an internal review of its Global Trade Compliance Program, led by its general counsel and acting compliance officer. The company said its findings will be reported to its independent board directors of the Board.

zhaojiankang/iStock via Getty Images Algoma Steel ( ASTL ) rallied into the close Tuesday, finishing up 5.2%, after saying it formed a joint venture with Canadian defense manufacturer of smart armored vehicles Roshel to establish a Canadian center for ballistic steel production. By advancing a made-in- Canada approach to critical defense inputs, the companies said the Roshel Algoma Defence JV will enable new, sovereign production of ballistic steel solutions to support defense procurements, including for light utility vehicles, the Domestic Arctic Mobility Enhancement program, ships, submarines, and broader Canadian defense needs. The partnership also will support the use of ballistic steel across other industries, including infrastructure, marine, aerospace, and security platforms, while creating opportunities to export Canadian-made ballistic steel solutions to allied countries, the companies said. Ballistic steel is a special type of relatively lightweight, hardened steel that protects against blasts or bullets. Algoma Steel ( ASTL ) "is ready to enhance Canada's defense capacity, starting now," CEO Rajat Marwah said. "This partnership with Roshel puts our production capabilities, our workforce, and our Sault Ste. Marie facilities directly in service of Canada's national security."

US regulators unveiled a plan Tuesday to overhaul rules intended to prevent money laundering, a move likely to be cheered by Wall Street as banks continue to rack up wins in their push for policy changes under the Trump administration. The proposed rulemaking would encourage banks, which are required to watch for signs that their systems are being used for crimes, to allocate resources to higher risk activities instead of minor ones, as Trump-era regulators shift supervision to “core financial risks” instead of process-related items. Under the plan from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. , the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the National Credit Union Administration , only significant failures to implement an anti-money-laundering program would warrant enforcement actions. It would also “enhance” the role of the Treasury Department ’s financial crime unit FinCEN in supervision, among other changes. “The proposal seeks to avoid penalizing banks for ‘foot faults’ or approaching exams as ‘box checking’ exercises,” FDIC Chairman Travis Hill said in a statement . “At the same time, the proposal would still maintain the tools necessary for regulators to take action if, for example, a bank is accepting duffel bags full of cash from drug cartels or funding terrorists overseas.” Hill added that the risk of harsh penalties, including large fines, creates an incentive for banks to deprive some individuals and businesses of banking services. US agencies have taken steps to eliminate so-called debanking after President Donald Trump criticized the practice, although some consumer advocates have said there is little evidence to show the issue is widespread. Trump-era regulators have moved to loosen the guardrails for US banks over the past year, relaxing how much capital they must hold as a buffer against potential losses, narrowing the scope of supervision and making it easier for banks to get a “well managed” rating.

Some of Wall Street’s largest trading desks are mapping an array of market outcomes tied to the Iran conflict, as investors grapple with uncertainty over the prospects for a ceasefire. US stocks bounced in late trading Tuesday as traders parsed conflicting messaging on the trajectory of the war. Pakistan asked for a two-week extension of US President Donald Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz following a day of threats and military strikes. Wall Street trading desks that serve global institutional investors are bracing for sharply divergent outcomes: a relief rally driven by light positioning if tensions ease or a steep selloff if Trump acts on threats to destroy Iran in the absence of a deal. Read more: Why Trump’s Iran Threats Raise War Crime Concerns: Explainer Here’s how four major trading desks are preparing to navigate the war scenarios. Goldman Sachs At Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Tony Pasquariello said traders are grappling with several scenarios rather than a single base case. “Now I think you have to ask what the markets do on a ‘mission accomplished’ headline, you also have to ask what they do on a ‘45-day ceasefire’ headline and you also have to ask what they do on a ‘boots-on-the-ground’ headline,” Pasquariello, the bank’s partner and global head of hedge fund coverage, wrote in a note to clients Monday. Traders have no real insight to determine which of the war outcomes would be most likely, Pasquariello said. “While I have an instinct around those questions, I certainly have no edge,” he wrote, adding that it’s difficult to justify aggressive tactical positioning. Instead, he urged caution, recommending that investors focus on highly liquid securities and reduce overall exposure. Given the “erratic behavior” of momentum-driven trades, “I would manage your gross equity exposure down,” he said, adding that those looking to take bullish positions should consider options strategies such as call spreads.
