Fifteen years after one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters, this part of the Fukushima coast feels stuck in the aftermath. Empty lots where homes once stood. Signs warning of restricted access. Convoys of construction trucks carrying radioactive dirt and materials. And then, improbably, a tour bus. Visitors are flowing into barely inhabited towns, attracted for the most part by the very catastrophe that drove their residents away. The wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has become a...

DRC’s export deadline extension may ease near-term supply pressure , but logistics remain the bottleneck, with shipments slower than expected and operational constraints limiting the immediate flow of cobalt to the market. On Tuesday, the DRC added another 30 days to the deadline for exporting volumes allocated to miners for the fourth quarter of 2025 – which had already been rolled over to the end of the first quarter of 2026 – under the country’s new quota system. Market participants said shipments from the DRC have so far been slower than expected, prompting the authorities to adjust the policy...“With relatively little material reportedly being shipped from the DRC, it was necessary for the government to act; otherwise, supply would have been even tighter,” he said.

1933bkk/iStock via Getty Images Full Truck Alliance ( YMM ), a digital freight platform connecting shippers with truckers, put the final touches on FY2025 with the release of the latest annual report on April 14. In general, FY2025 was a good year for YMM, with solid growth in the top and the bottom line, but there is still no denying that the stock has performed pretty badly in recent months. These struggles coincided with a slowing down of growth, but there is reason to be confident that these short-term struggles will turn out to be just a temporary speed bump because YMM can overcome them. Furthermore, there are signs the stock may be going for a rebound. YMM sold off, but it has showed strength by moving higher lately In my February 2026 article on YMM , I took note of a major selloff in the stock, which had already lasted several months. YMM was due for a change for this reason alone, but I also mentioned how the stock was close to a potential support level. YMM seemed stuck within a range, and the stock found itself at the lower bound of this range after the decline of the previous months. This suggested YMM could be close to moving higher, and, together with other reasons, is why I opted to rate YMM a buy in the article. Source: Thinkorswim app The chart above shows that while it initially appeared YMM had stemmed the slide because it did pause as it reached the support level identified in the previous article, the stock proceeded to break down on the way lower. This quickly resulted in a new 52-week low of $8.04 per ADS on March 30, although general stock market weakness due to recent events in the Middle East likely contributed to this move in the stock. Source: Thinkorswim app However, YMM has done better more recently, with the stock closing at $8.73 per ADS on April 22, which translates to a gain of 8.6% in over three weeks, following the March 30 low of $8.04. Furthermore, the chart above of the past nine months shows the series of lower highs in the s...
