$10,000 parked in the Fidelity Fundamental Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:FFEM) on the last trading day of 2025 was worth roughly $13,000 at the late-May peak near $43.45, before a recent week of selling trimmed it back to about $12,200 by the June 5 close at $40.73. That puts the headline number where it should be. ... Fidelity’s Emerging Markets ETF Is Stealthily Up 30% (and No One’s Watching)

(RTTNews) - After staying well below the flat line till about an hour past noon on Monday, European stocks recovered some lost ground after Iran announced the end of its military operation against Israel, raising hopes of a potential de-escalation in the wider U.S.-Iran war.

EschCollection/DigitalVision via Getty Images In the last five years, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond has gone from 1.5% to 4.5%. As such, the price of the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Index ETF ( VGIT ) has gone from $68 to $58. Is now a good time to buy Treasury bonds via VGIT? FRED Seeking Alpha VGIT is an excellent vehicle for owning Treasuries. It has a very low expense ratio of just 3 basis points, and the ETF itself is extremely liquid. The fund seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 3-10 Year Index, i.e., the intermediate duration segment of the US government bond market. The fund pays monthly distributions and is essentially 100% invested in USA Government debt. Seeking Alpha Ratings Although I think oil prices will fall substantially over the next few years, I think inflation is still a problem for the United States, and indeed much of the world. America’s deficits need to be funded, and with the massive funding needs of the high-growth AI companies, as well as other G7 nations, there is competition in the market for money, and therefore interest rates should go higher. If 10-year interest rates are going higher still, then VGIT is a bad investment. Those holding this fund should sell and put the low risk allocation of funds into money market funds and funds that track float rating securities, which have lower duration and therefore lower interest rate risk. In effect, by lending short, you can capture the higher interests on offer. By lending at the intermediate duration, you will get hurt by higher interest rates. In other words, I’m quite bearish on VGIT and I will explain why below. In the last couple of weeks, it seems like bond markets have traded on the Iran war headlines. But last week it seems the optimism faded slightly for a deal between the US and Iran. A deal would let oil flow, and then oil prices would start to come down; this would soon help reduce inflation rates, meaning that interest rate doves would ...

A belated change of policy on nude digital images of children must be part of a wider reset Amid the flurry of resignations by ministers who said they had lost confidence in Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership, Jess Phillips’s attack on his record on tech regulation stood out. “Over a year ago I presented solutions, long worked on by brilliant civil servants, that would end the ability for children in the UK to take naked images of themselves,” she wrote. The postponement of an announcement in March left her frustrated. In the end, all that Ms Phillips managed to secure was a pledge that the law might change sometime. Other campaigners echoed her frustration. Hannah Swirsky, head of policy at the Internet Watch Foundation, agreed that the government had been slow to act, despite the rise in offences involving self‑generated explicit imagery.

Gri-spb/iStock via Getty Images I really like Circle Internet Group ( CRCL ). They have a great product, USDC ( USDC-USD ). I've been rating it a Buy. I even went to Strong Buy once . CRCL 6M Price History (Seeking Alpha) The market seemed to agree. At first . The past couple of weeks it's down. New fears are in play. Strategy ( MSTR ) finally sold Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ). ZCash ( ZEC-USD ) discovered a massive exploit . Any impact to ZEC is unknown. Folks get spooked. Crypto-related stocks sell off. Do I think CRCL should be bogged down? No. USDC is not a speculative asset. It's the dollar on-chain. There is a payments use case here. I believe in Circle because I believe in this. USDC Key Stats (Q1 2026 Investor Presentation) For example, total USDC is stable. If it declined, that would hurt Circle. It would be less interest income. Some cryptos decline. USDC isn't declining. USDC Market Cap 1Y History (CoinMarketCap.com) I think recent months are stable. USDC's cap remains over $70B. A Fed rate cut could hurt. CRCL's earnings are volume and yield. If those are fine, CRCL should be too. Q1 2026 Earnings Presentation What do I mean to say? USDC is adaptable. It doesn't need certain parts of crypto to succeed. It can serve any and all parts. A good example is Hyperliquid. They have a native stable, USDH. They agreed to phase it out. USDC will replace it. It's validation from a big chain and exchange. Circle also launched a chain , Arc. USDC is the gas fee for this. ARC is the token. The white paper lays it out. How ARC fees works (ARC white paper ) Arc is built for agentic commerce . It's meant for large volumes. USDC fees make costs clear. It's very business-friendly. ARC Distribution (ARC white paper ) I haven't mentioned it in past articles. I was waiting. But now it's live. Circle has about a 25% stake in Arc through the token. So chain revenue doesn't all go to CRCL. Still, it's a smart approach. Circle was limited by interest income before. I think it's similar to ...

HJBC/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Accenture ( ACN ) said Monday it has agreed to acquire creator and social marketing agency Whalar from Whalar Group, expanding its capabilities in influencer marketing and creator-led advertising as brands devote a growing share of marketing budgets to social media platforms. Shares of Accenture ( ACN ) fell as much as 1.5% by early afternoon in New York, while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was little changed. The stock is down 44% in the past 12 months amid corporate caution toward discretionary spending as AI potentially changes the economics of the consulting industry. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction will fold Whalar into Accenture Song, the consulting firm's marketing, design and digital services unit. The move reflects growing demand from advertisers for creator-driven campaigns as social media increasingly influences consumer purchasing decisions and brand discovery. The creator economy has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the advertising industry. According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, U.S. spending on creator-focused advertising is expected to reach $43.9 billion in 2026, making it one of the fastest-growing categories in media. Founded more than a decade ago, Whalar specializes in connecting brands with content creators and influencers across major social media platforms. The company said it has managed more than $600 million in creator campaigns spanning over 40 countries and 15 languages. Whalar's clients use the agency for influencer campaigns, ongoing creator programs and measurement services designed to assess the effectiveness of social media marketing. Following the acquisition, more than 170 employees based in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Spain will join Accenture Song. Whalar Group, which also owns businesses including Sixteenth, Foam, Moby Ventures, The Lighthouse and The Busine...

格隆汇6月9日｜美银证券表示，投资者应对美股保持谨慎，越来越多的熊市信号表明市场正接近顶部。Savita Subramanian领导的策略师团队在一份日期为6月5日的报告中写道，目前约70%的熊市信号已经被触发，与历史市场顶部时期的平均水平一致。标普500指数在20项估值指标中有17项显示“统计意义上的高估”，其中8项指标甚至高于科技泡沫时期的水平。此外，高市盈率股票大幅跑赢低估值股票，策略师认为这是“过度投机的迹象”。在科技板块内部，表现最佳与最差的五分位数之间的差距已扩大至2000年2月以来最高水平。标普500指数的强劲表现“掩盖了内部的剧烈分化”，过去三个月指数成分股中表现最佳10%与表现最差10%之间的回报差距已升至疫情后时代最高水平。部分科技股基本面依然健康，然而Subramanian指出：“现金流转化率已陷入停滞，投资级债券和股票供给增加，股票回购占市值的比例下降，而超大规模云计算企业的资本支出占经营现金流的比例预计将在年底接近100%，高于2023年的40%。”

The Global Justice Report offers a hopeful bargain: tax extreme wealth and replace consumer excess with social and economic security for all Humanity can raise living standards, reduce inequality and keep global heating within a 2C rise, according to a sweeping vision for planetary survival, the Guardian reported last week. In an age of ecological dread, that is a bracingly hopeful claim. The optimism came courtesy of the Global Justice Report, produced by Thomas Piketty’s World Inequality Lab. It arrives against the grain of the times. Anti‑migrant demagoguery, fossil-fuel revivalism, attacks on multilateralism and billionaire capture all militate against the redistributive state capacity that the report requires. Yet Prof Piketty’s team insists that decarbonisation, “sufficiency” and equality can mean a good life for most people. Continue reading...
