Gold held a loss, as fresh clashes in the Persian Gulf weighed on hopes for a US-Iran peace deal and reinforced concerns that inflation could keep interest rates higher for longer. Bullion was near $4,510 an ounce in early trading, having fallen 1.4% on Tuesday. Hostilities between US and Iranian forces near the Strait of Hormuz occurred even as both sides touted progress toward an interim peace deal, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying that any pact would likely take a few days to finalize. Despite the impasse, confidence was growing that the three-month conflict will remain contained, with traders seizing on signs of diplomatic progress even as attacks continued. The risk-on mood has lifted equities to fresh highs. “While hope of a US-Iran deal has offered some support, the situation remains fragile and persistent, as inflation fears continue to loom over precious metals,” TD Securities analyst Ryan McKay said in a note. “Ultimately the pricing asymmetry remains heavily skewed to the downside across the board.” Read More: US Touts Iran Deal Prospects Amid Fresh Tensions in Hormuz Bullion has slumped around 15% since the conflict erupted in late February. Traders ramped up rate-hike bets as the war sent energy prices soaring and fanned inflation concerns. Higher borrowing costs weigh on gold, which doesn’t pay interest. Spot gold edged up 0.1% to $4,514.48 an ounce as of 7:37 a.m. in Singapore. Silver gained 0.5% to $77.25. Platinum and palladium also rose. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , a gauge of the US currency, was little changed after ending the previous session 0.1% higher.

A video of Robert F. Kennedy Jnr wrangling two snakes bare-handed captured the internet’s fascination on Tuesday, the latest animal encounter the US health secretary has shared publicly that has sparked intrigue and in some cases concern. Kennedy shared the clip of himself grabbing the tails of the non-venomous black racer snakes on his personal social media accounts, noting in the caption that he was removing them from the patio of Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz. An avid outdoorsman, Kennedy has posted numerous photos and videos over the years of himself interacting with wild animals. He has also shared tales of such interactions, including admitting once planting a bear carcass in New York’s Central Park as a prank. Advertisement Internet users reacted with joy, incredulity and outcry at Kennedy’s latest clip, which shows the snakes biting in the direction of his fingers as Oz asks questions about the snakes. Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, can be heard saying “Why?” and telling her husband to let them go. Robert F. Kennedy Jnr and his wife Cheryl Hines appear at a political event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in October 2023.

Key Points The company's HA gas turbines hit an important operational milestone. This was due, at least in part, to the power generation needs of facilities like data centers. 10 stocks we like better than GE Vernova › GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) stock had a good start to the holiday-shortened trading week. The sprawling energy company is the largest gas turbine manufacturer in the world, and had positive news to share about these products.

Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » In the press release touting this feat, GE Vernova quoted the CEO of its power segment, Eric Gray, as saying that "This milestone reflects the confidence our customers have placed in GE Vernova's HA technology and its established role in supporting flexible power generation around the world."

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment.

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry. Think you're saving enough for your kids? You might be dangerously off — see why Investor Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki , one of the earlier backers of the EV giant and now a vocal critic of the brand, earlier shared that the brand is “permanently damaged,” while investor Cathie Wood , who is the CEO of Ark Invest , acknowledged that the brand had been negatively impacted last year. Musk was instrumental in Trump’s re-election bid, donating over $250 million to the campaign in the run-up to the 2024 Presidential election. However, he has also received widespread criticism over his ties to right-wing politics. Concerns about damage to Tesla’s brand have been shared by experts following Musk’s political activism and his close associations with the President Donald Trump administration. The Model Y has repeatedly topped sales charts, with the crossover SUV emerging as the best-selling car globally in 2023, 2024 and 2025, as well as being the best-selling EV in the U.S. and in California during the first quarter of 2026. Quoting a post by user James Stephenson on X , who hailed the Tesla Model Y’s position as the best-selling EV across multiple markets, Musk seemingly reaffirmed the EV giant’s position in the global market. “Product >> Brand,” Musk said in the post.
