Tottenham would probably have suffered the disaster of relegation from the Premier League if it were not for the decision to bring in Roberto De Zerbi for Igor Tudor, according to James Maddison and Conor Gallagher. Spurs made the managerial change with seven games to go and the team in free fall after a run of one point from six matches under Tudor. De Zerbi rebuilt confidence and guided the club to survival, the 1-0 home win over Everton on Sunday ensuring that they finished above West Ham, who went down. De Zerbi’s record shows three wins, two draws and two defeats. The club have a big summer ahead as they look to reboot the squad. They are expected to sign the centre-half Marcos Senesi and the left-back Andy Robertson on free transfers from Bournemouth and Liverpool respectively. The captain, Cristian Romero, is poised to leave and the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario could go, too. The most immediate emotions are relief and gratitude to De Zerbi. “I am really happy for the manager, who has come in and steered the ship clear because without him it could have been doom and gloom,” Maddison said. “The appointment kind of saved the disaster from happening. Without that appointment, disaster could have maybe struck. But it didn’t and he takes a lot of credit for that.” Gallagher added: “Like Madders said, thank God the new gaffer came in because he was the reason it turned around for the team and for me. From the first day or two he had everyone under his wing. Everyone trusted him instantly and everything he was doing. It was like: ‘Thank God he’s come in.’” De Zerbi, who has lived with his backroom staff at the hotel at Spurs’s training ground, has made tactical tweaks. Under him, the team have pressed more effectively and forced more turnovers in the final third. He has fixed the midfield, using Gallagher to good effect as a No 10. But his biggest trick has been to restore the players’ self-belief. View image in fullscreen Roberto De Zerbi celebrates after Tottenham’...

Nine in 10 retailers based in rural locations have been victims of crime in the past 12 months, according to research, underlining the widespread impact of the rise in shoplifting and theft even in more remote parts of the UK. Rural retailers include farm shops as well as stores selling machinery and other equipment. The financial cost of crime for each affected retailer was on average £83,000 during the past year, according to a survey carried out by the commercial insurer NFU Mutual. Meanwhile, one in 20 victims said crime had cost them more than half a million pounds. Retailers based in inner cities reported experiencing the highest level of crime, with 94% suffering an incident over the past year. However, this was followed closely by retailers in urban areas (91%) and in rural locations (91%). View image in fullscreen John Harris of the Broadditch farm shop in Kent says a break-in and theft ‘felt personal, like a gut punch’. Photograph: John Harris Almost a quarter of rural retailers surveyed by NFU Mutual had suffered on more than six occasions, equivalent to an incident taking place every other month. Meanwhile, only 5% of rural retailers who had fallen victim to crime over the past year only suffered one incident. John Harris, a farmer and owner of Broadditch farm shop near Gravesend in Kent, is one of this small minority of business owners. Despite this, the break-in and theft at the farm shop last Easter have left a lasting impact. “It felt personal, like a gut punch. It was a weird, horrible feeling,” said Harris, who has run the farm shop with his brother Mark since 1990, when they began selling homegrown fruit and vegetables and other produce from a building formerly used for cleaning, sorting and packing apples. The farm shop was broken into late at night over the Easter weekend, when the perpetrator forced open a skylight. They then smashed through inner glass doors, before pushing the shop’s safe down a flight of stairs and wheeling it out of the bui...

Words matter. When describing a government, they inevitably carry moral weight. Over the past 16 months, Trump and his appointees have so profoundly undermined the United States government that different words should be used to describe them than have been used to describe all previous administrations. To begin with, they shouldn’t be called an “administration” at all. They should be referred to as a regime. A regime flagrantly defies court orders, as have Trump and his appointees. In February 2026, a federal judge, appointed by George W Bush, identified some 200 orders from the district of Minnesota that ICE had defied, concluding that it had “likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence”. A regime also vilifies judges who rule against it and demand their impeachment, exactly as the Trump regime has done. A regime usurps a legislature’s powers to declare war, issue tariffs and appropriate public funds – which is what the Trump regime has done to Congress. A regime seeks to stifle speech and silence criticism in universities, law firms and the media – again, precisely what the Trump regime has done. Secondly, this regime is not headed by a “president,” as the constitution of the United States and America’s laws and history have designated the head of the executive branch of the US government. To put the term “president” before Trump’s name defiles the constitution. More than 300,000 federal workers have left their jobs under Trump, including tens of thousands who were fired. He has fired inspectors general who are charged with holding political appointees accountable. He punishes whistleblowers who protest against abuses. He attacks marginalized groups and foments bigotry. He is openly persecuting political opponents. He has doled out pardons to convicted felons who are political supporters or financial contributors – including a Honduran president who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the US, a...

In the last of Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles – her epic, engrossing sagas of bucolic life among horse-riding poshos – Rupert Campbell-Black, template-handsome cad turned loving husband, is now (I did the maths) 67. Taggie has cancer, which is bracing, since the Chronicles as a whole rarely brush with mortality. I was astonished to learn that Cooper did 15 months of rewrites, following interventions from a sensitivity reader; it is not that sensitive, certainly not on class. Bianca, Rupert and Taggie’s daughter, has fallen in love with a footballer (“from the gu’er” – the Ts are silent) and her father buys a local club to keep them both in the postcode. Cue improbable league successes that make your heart soar. Classic Jilly themes Underdogs triumph; dogs also triumph. 9 Appassionata (1996) This is an interesting shadow-boxing instalment of the Campbell-Black saga. Rupert is barely in it, but his son Marcus – his son by his first wife, the panicky American Helen – is technically the love interest: he’s affianced to the heroine, violinist turned conductor Abigail Rosen, but it all capsizes when it turns out Marcus is gay and having an affair with a Russian ballet dancer. That doesn’t count as a spoiler, by the way, since pianist Marcus has been gay-coded as a thorn in his hyper-masculine father’s side since he was about two years old. That, besides the final romantic hero, Viking O’Neill, who is hot, is this overlong book’s salvation: Cooper is good on the peculiar familial cruelties of the English upper classes, the way they casually, irreparably screw their children’s lives just by caring too much about stupid things: do they have a high voice, do they eat asparagus right? There’s a lot of densely researched classical music, the result of three years’ field work with real live orchestras; if you skip all that, you can bring it down to a more manageable 400 pages. Classic Jilly themes Artistic people are naturally hornier; also, horn players. 8 Octavia (1977) Th...

Investors may find out how Hong Kong’s stock market will react to mainland China’s crackdown on illegal cross-border securities trading on Tuesday, as Citic Securities estimates an impact on as much as HK$250 billion (US$31.9 billion) of assets in the city, a negligible amount for the third-largest stock market in Asia. The sweeping campaign may affect between HK$150 billion to HK$180 billion worth of assets owned by mainland Chinese investors with Hong Kong stock accounts at Futu Securities International, Tian Liang, chief financial analyst at Citic Securities , said in a note on Sunday. Between an estimated HK$45 billion and HK$50 billion of similar assets at Tiger Brokers could also be affected, he said, totaling around HK$250 billion worth of assets in Hong Kong when including amounts from other brokerages, such as Long Bridge Securities, which were affected by the crackdown, according to the report. Affected assets may include stocks and other types of securities, such as cash, money-market funds and options, and the total amount may diminish somewhat if any traders change the identities on the brokerages in order to legalise their Hong Kong accounts, according to Tian. Advertisement “The short-term impact of the new rules on the Hong Kong market is manageable,” he said in the report. Monday is a public holiday in both Hong Kong and the United States. Advertisement The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) made an abrupt move on Friday to punish Futu, Tiger Brokers and Long Bridge for offering mainland Chinese investors trading access to overseas stocks without licenses. Gains from the unlicensed trades were confiscated by the regulator at all three organisations, and they were given two years to clean up the accounts, during which time stock buying would be prohibited and only selling would be allowed.

Leonardo Moreno/iStock via Getty Images AMC Entertainment ( AMC ) struck a deal with Telemundo to show live 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in theaters in the U.S. The Spanish-language, event-cinema play is aimed at maximizing underused daytime screens, with a model that could extend into Latin America. CEO Adam Aron pointed on social media site X to the "intense interest in football" among potential Latino theater visitors. Under the arrangement, AMC ( AMC ) will show select matches featuring Mexico, Brazil, and other high-interest teams to Spanish-speaking fans. Screenings are ticketed like other special events, with fans buying seats via AMC’s normal channels and watching live with cinema-grade projection and sound. The World Cup is part of AMC's ( AMC ) deeper push into event cinema, alongside concerts, fights, and other live programming that carries lower content risk and can drive high food-and-beverage spending. By leaning on Telemundo's rights, AMC ( AMC ) avoids negotiating directly with FIFA and instead becomes an additional distribution window for the broadcaster. If the 2026 rollout performs well, it strengthens the case for using theaters as recurring venues for live sporting events on both sides of the hemisphere. Telemundo is owned by NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, which is a division of NBCUniversal, itself a subsidiary of Comcast ( CMCSA ). The World Cup is being played from June 11 to July 19 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Earnings season is winding down, but we still have a couple of big name companies reporting. This week we have Dell Technologies ( DELL ), Marvell Technology ( MRVL ), Snowflake ( SNOW ), Salesforce ( CRM ) and Costco ( COST ) all reporting. Before a company reports earnings, implied volatility is usually high because the market is unsure about the outcome of the report. Speculators and hedgers create huge demand for the company’s options which increases the implied volatility, and therefore, the price of options. After the earnings announcement, implied volatility usually drops back down to normal levels. Let’s take a look at the expected range for these stocks. To calculate the expected range, look up the option chain and add together the price of the at-the-money put option and the at-the-money call option. Use the first expiry date after the earnings date. While this approach is not as accurate as a detailed calculation, it does serve as a reasonably accurate estimate. Monday Memorial Day Holiday Tuesday Nothing of note Wednesday MRVL – 13.5% SNOW – 13.5% PDD – 6.5% CRM – 8.7% SNPS – 8.5% Thursday DELL – 11.7% COST – 3.7% Friday Nothing of note Option traders can use these expected moves to structure trades. Bearish traders can look at selling bear call spreads outside the expected range. Bullish traders can sell bull put spreads outside the expected range, or look at naked puts for those with a higher risk tolerance. Neutral traders can look at iron condors. When trading iron condors over earnings, it is best to keep the short strikes outside the expected range. When trading options over earnings, it is best to stick to risk defined strategies and keep position size small. If the stock makes a larger than expected move and the trade suffers a full loss, it should not have more than a 1-3% effect on your portfolio.

Eoneren/E+ via Getty Images GDS Holdings Limited ( GDS ) reported 1Q26 earnings that can be characterized by a balance of puts and takes. On the puts, we were encouraged by the demand tailwind from China’s AI boom, which underscores our prior view that GDS is well-positioned for China’s secular AI capex cycle on the back of the “DeepSeek Moment.” This has prompted the management to upgrade its 3-year outlook while maintaining its current-year outlook. On the takes, we and the market were disappointed by the substantial execution and accounting time lag, meaning that these orders are unlikely to translate to tangible financials in the foreseeable future. The stock sold off after the print as the market is focused on move-ins rather than orders, as the market is disappointed at the potential upcoming period of high capex, rising leverage, and flat near-term earnings growth. We previously upgraded GDS on the back of the bullish narrative in China’s AI sector. Notably, Alibaba Group Holding Limited ( BABA ), one of GDS’s largest customers in China, has been aggressively ramping up on AI investment and product rollouts, which positions GDS favorably to the data center capex cycle (see: GDS Holdings: AI Boom Fuels Rally, But Monetization Risks Remain ). Although we acknowledge GDS’s long-term prospects, we are also cognizant of the market’s unwillingness to pay a premium for distant orders. Unless GDS can show these headline orders can translate to tangible move-ins and cash flow, the near-term share price could be depressed or trade sideways. We reiterate our Hold rating on GDS on the back of the 1Q26 print. A sweet and sour fundamental GDS reported net revenue of RMB 3.4 billion, +24% y/y growth, and adjusted EBITDA of RMB 1.9 billion, +47% y/y. When we take out the one-time items, revenue, and adjustments, EBITDA grew 8% y/y, which was largely in line with consensus. Company presentation It's worth reminding investors that the gap between the headline and adjusted numb...

AMD's next-gen Zen 7 "Grimlock" CPUs are rumored to utilize TSMC's 1.4nm (A14) process tech & new packaging innovations. AMD Taps TSMC's A14 "1.4nm" Process Tech For Its Next-Gen Zen 7 "Grimlock" CPUs The Zen 6 architecture is yet to make a formal entry into mainstream server and consumer segments, and while mass production has already begun on TSMC's 2nm process tech, the company is now prepping its supply chain partners for the next-generation lineup. In a report by Taiwanese Commercial Times, it is said that AMD has begun supply chain preparations for its next-generation x86 CPU architecture called Zen 7, and codenamed Grimlock. The next generation of CPUs based on the Zen 7 architecture will harness TSMC's cutting-edge A14 process technology, which is a 1.4nm design. TSMC A14 will be competing with Intel's 14A at the same time, and Zen 7 is expected to land around 2028. It is also reported that AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, recently visited Powertech during her trip to Taiwan, where she met various supply chain and industry partners. The visit to Powertech is said to be associated with an advanced packaging tech allocation. AMD is likely going to leverage Powertech's FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging) technology. AMD has begun its supply chain preparations for its next-generation Zen 7 platform ahead of schedule. Supply chain sources reveal that the Zen 7 core chipset (CCD), codenamed Grimlock, will utilize TSMC's A14 process and incorporate next-generation 3D V-Cache technology. The company is also evaluating Powertech's FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging) solution. Commercial Times The TSMC Dachung Fab 25 P1 plant is where the company is a semiconductor maker, is expected to begin trial production by 2027, followed by mass production in 2028. TSMC's race towards A14 by 2028 is going to be crucial as Intel recently gained big traction with its Foundry business, allegedly gaining support from major customers for its 18A-P and 14A nodes, with Apple and TeraFab alr...

Key Points Arguably, no announcement is more anticipated by retired-worker beneficiaries than Social Security's annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) reveal. In 2026, Trump's tariff and trade policy lifted Social Security payouts. Next year, the Iran war may have an even more pronounced impact on payouts. However, one outsize COLA isn't going to offset more than a decade of purchasing power declines for seniors. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Last year was a history-maker in several respects for America's leading retirement program, Social Security. We witnessed the average monthly retired-worker benefit surpass $2,000 for the first time, celebrated the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act being signed into law, and saw Social Security's cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) meet or exceed 2.5% for a fifth consecutive year (that last happened three decades ago). Arguably, no announcement is more anticipated by Social Security's more than 54 million retired-worker beneficiaries than the annual COLA reveal -- and based on the latest update, it could be historically large, courtesy of a second consecutive year with a Trump bump.

If Social Security benefits didn't adjust to account for the effects of inflation (rising prices), beneficiaries would see their purchasing power decline. Social Security's COLA is essentially a near-annual "raise" that attempts to offset the inflationary pressures program recipients have faced. You'll note the quotation marks around the word raise, and that's purposeful. Social Security's COLA is designed only to keep beneficiaries on par with inflation and isn't like a tru...

Pope Leo has denounced the “culture of power” driving the rapid rise of artificial intelligence while warning that the technology must be subject to the “most rigorous” ethical constraints as it infiltrates everything from work to war. In his encyclical – the first major text on safeguarding humankind of his papacy – Leo, the first US-born pontiff, also apologised for the Catholic church’s long delay in condemning slavery, describing it as “a wound in Christian memory”, while warning about the “new forms of slavery” due to the digital economy. In a break from tradition, Leo, who soon after being elected in May last year said he considered AI to be the biggest threat to humanity today, presented the document himself on Monday during an event at the Vatican. Among those in attendance was Christopher Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic, a US-based AI firm that has clashed with Donald Trump’s administration. Encyclicals are one of the highest forms of teaching from a pope to the Catholic church’s 1.4 billion members, and typically outline his priorities while highlighting the major issues in society. In the document, called Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity), Leo referred to “a troubling revival of war as an instrument of international politics” while warning that AI was helping to facilitate the “normalisation of war”. “For this reason, the development and use of AI in warfare must be subject to the most rigorous ethical constraints, to guarantee respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life and to avoid a race to develop such arms,” he wrote. In a passage that appeared to be targeted at Silicon Valley, Leo warned that power over digital systems, infrastructure and data “does not rest with states but with major economic and technological actors”, and that when such power was concentrated “in the hands of the few” it tended to “become opaque and evade public oversight, increasing the risk of distorted forms of development that give rise to new dependencies, exc...
