Reform UK leader looks spooked by far-right Restore and risks undermining efforts to appeal to moderate voters Nigel Farage’s self-confidence is famously iron-clad. But just before 12.30pm on Wednesday as a visibly angry Keir Starmer tore into his “unforgivable” response to the murder of Henry Nowak, Farage’s attempts to laugh off the criticism looked unconvincing. He was rattled. This has been a curious week for the Reform UK leader. The headlines have been dominated by a story seemingly tailor-made for his culture war instincts. But some believe that this time Farage might have overplayed his hand. Continue reading...
FabrikaCr The Securities and Trade Commission plans to vote next week on a proposal to completely roll back a 20-year-old rule that bans exchanges, alternative trading systems, and wholesalers from executing trades that ignore or “trade through” the national best bid or offer.

FabrikaCr The Securities and Trade Commission plans to vote next week on a proposal to completely roll back a 20-year-old rule that bans exchanges, alternative trading systems, and wholesalers from executing trades that ignore or “trade through” the national best bid or offer. The rule has helped ensure fair treatment for individual investors. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, though, has opposed the rule, fearing unintended consequences on the long-term growth of financial markets. Other arguments against the trade-through ban include increased transaction costs, its impact on the speed of execution, and fragmentation of trading, Bloomberg reported. In comments made on Thursday at a fintech conference, Jamie Selway, SEC Trading and Markets Division director, said the vote on repealing the rule is "genuinely on the table." In expanding on Atkins' view of the matter, Selway said, "If you follow his perspectives, you have a pretty good indicator of our direction of travel." The SEC meeting is scheduled for 10:00 AM ET on June 11. More on Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange, etc. Nasdaq, Inc.

Ten years after the vote, our economy is battered – and our national conversation darkens by the day. Still, there is reason for hope When the anniversary comes, later this month, few will be in the mood to look back. All the political talk will be of the Makerfield byelection, of the future of this government and this prime minister. And yet, it would be wise to reflect on what happened on 23 Jun...
Ten years after the vote, our economy is battered – and our national conversation darkens by the day. Still, there is reason for hope When the anniversary comes, later this month, few will be in the mood to look back. All the political talk will be of the Makerfield byelection, of the future of this government and this prime minister. And yet, it would be wise to reflect on what happened on 23 June 2016 – if only because the choices Keir Starmer and his would-be successors face, indeed the entire political and cultural landscape we now inhabit, are informed or were shaped by that event. We are living in Brexit Britain. A useful prompt comes from the upcoming two-part BBC series Brexit: A Very British Civil War , made by the master documentarian Norma Percy. Speaking to (nearly) every key player, it brings it all back – the red bus , “take back control”, the pantomime river battle of Nigel Farage v Bob Geldof .

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In the past two months, Chevron Corporation ( CVX ) has remained flat with approximately -0.7% returns from my previous coverage . This can tell us that it did not benefit that much from the skyrocketing oil prices despite its upstream-heavy operations. Even so, I understand the cautious market stance as oil price swings remain sharp. Global oil market dynamics continue to influence short-term investor sentiments, which I will discuss more later. Nonetheless, a strong buy reiteration fits Chevron as it opens new buying opportunities, supported by fundamentals and valuation. Technicals adhere to these as Chevron starts to regain its momentum. Q1 2026: Resilience Amid Market Turbulence In the first three months of 2026, the global oil market has experienced a lot of disruptions, beginning with the civil unrest in Iran in January. Tensions escalated in mid-February as the US and Israel began to intervene. But the war broke out after Iran retaliated and attacked neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and the UAE. These events immediately sent oil prices to the $100-per-barrel benchmark and caused fear premiums in the oil market. For many, this became worrisome as oil and fuel supply and price concerns spread. But for many upstream-heavy companies, this became an opportunity to enjoy stronger pricing. The same applies to Chevron Corporation, as you saw in its most recent performance. In Q1 2026, its operating revenue amounted to $48.6 billion , up by 2.1% YoY from $47.6 billion. This served as its comeback from its weaker performance in all quarters of 2025 due to the negative change in revenues on a YoY basis. Just by looking at its revenue trend, my view about Chevron benefiting from the Iran War was proven right. This should not be surprising because higher oil prices incentivize oil producers. In short, this meant a higher realized sales price for Chevron. If you look at sales alone, the amount incr...

The Federal Reserve logo is visible on the William McChesney Martin Jr. Building on December 9, 2025 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | Getty Images News | Getty Images Chances that the Federal Reserve increases interest rates this year shot up from 25.3% to 52% in the last week on prediction markets platform Kalshi. Those odds come after Friday's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed nonfarm payrolls hit 172,000, comfortably exceeding Dow Jones expectations of 80,000. A Fed hike before July 2027 also jumped from 54% to 65% in the past week on Kalshi. Fed rates increasing mean the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to stop the economy from overheating. With a higher-than-expected job report and the annual core inflation rate hitting 3.3% in April, economists see a fed hike approaching. "I think there actually could be one this year, and for good reason. Inflation is pretty sticky," said former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson to CNBC's " Squawk Box ." The CME's Fedwatch tool recorded a 50% chance of a higher rate this year. For other economists, the move is for the Fed to not do anything, for now. "Payroll Blowout! We've gained more and more confidence in the last prints that the Fed doesn't have to be worried about the labor market," Lindsay Rosner, Goldman Sachs Asset Management head of multi-sector fixed-income investing, wrote in a note. "Laser focused on inflation and it will all come down to the duration of this War to determine the Fed's next move. For now, the move is to not move: HOLD." Sectors like leisure and hospitality recorded 70,000 jobs, the highest out of any sector. Meanwhile local government added 55,000 jobs, social assistance added 12,000 and health care brought in 35,000, roughly in line with its average.
