The United States on Thursday designated two well-known Brazilian crime groups, the so-called Red Command (CV) and First Capital Command (PCC), as terrorist organisations, despite opposition from Brasilia. “CV and PCC are two of the most violent criminal organisations in Brazil,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. “Their influence and illicit networks extend far beyond Brazil’s borders, across our region and into our country.” “Together, they command thousands of members and have orchestrated brutal attacks against Brazilian police officers, public officials and civilians,” Rubio said. Advertisement Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made clear his opposition to this measure, which has broad legal implications in the United States. The leftist leader’s main rival in coming elections, conservative Flavio Bolsonaro, has supported the designation. Bolsonaro met with US President Donald Trump earlier this week. Advertisement The US began designating criminal gangs – such as Mexico’s Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua – as terrorists when Trump entered office in January 2025.
Key Points In 2022, the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes resulted in a bear market for the S&P 500. During that time, however, dividend ETFs held up much better, and several even had positive returns.

Key Points In 2022, the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes resulted in a bear market for the S&P 500. During that time, however, dividend ETFs held up much better, and several even had positive returns. Here are three dividend ETFs that outperformed the S&P 500 by a wide margin in 2022 and could do so again during the next correction. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF › Even though U.S. stocks continue to set new all-time highs, investors still need to reckon with some warning signs. Inflation and interest rates, in particular, are pain points. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is approaching 4% and climbing due to the conflict in Iran and soaring energy prices. It's creating an environment where the Fed may not be able to cut the benchmark federal funds rate as expected and high interest rates will be here for longer. In many ways, it resembles the 2022 bear market. Back then, of course, inflation would rise to 9%, and the Fed needed to raise rates aggressively to try to bring it back down. 2026's environment isn't quite that extreme, but it could cap returns on fixed income and affect stock prices negatively in the near future. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? 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 » So even though the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is still hitting records, investors should at least be thinking of ways to protect themselves. If we're using 2022 for guidance, dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) might be a good place to start looking. During that year, income products were in a bit of a boom period. Defensive equities held up well, and any ETF that avoided too much tech exposure had a much better chance of outperforming the S&P 500. Many of them did and beat the index by a wide margin. But not only did they provide a significant degree of cushion on the downside, they r...

Boeing Today BA Boeing $228.97 +4.67 (+2.08%) 52-Week Range $176.77 ▼ $254.35 P/E Ratio 111.15 Price Target $259.80 Add to Watchlist For nearly two years, the investment narrative surrounding Boeing NYSE: BA has been locked into a pattern of regulatory scrutiny and production bottlenecks. The market's persistent focus on past headlines has created a valuation disconnect for the aerospace sector giant, obscuring a fundamental turnaround in operational execution and free cash flow generation. Recent catalysts, however, signal that the window to acquire shares of this airline before this reality is fully priced in may be closing. Get Boeing alerts: Sign Up The combination of a key regulatory clearance and the structural de-risking of its order book has created a tangible inflection point. Wall Street's fixation on historical missteps is lagging a powerful financial recovery taking place on the factory floor and in the order pipeline. For investors focused on underlying business fundamentals, the data suggests a new chapter is taking flight. The Green Light: From Grounded to Gaining Altitude The most significant headwind suppressing Boeing's valuation has been the stringent oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which previously capped 737 MAX production. That cap has officially been lifted, marking a new phase of operational freedom. The New 47-Jet Production Floor The FAA's recent capstone review of Boeing's safety and quality control protocols concluded with the authorization to increase the 737 MAX production rate from 42 to 47 jets per month. Investors should see this as more than an incremental increase; it is a critical validation that the operational overhauls are meeting the highest regulatory standards. Management has confirmed that its primary facility in Renton, Washington, is already stabilizing at this newly authorized cadence, laying the groundwork for predictable delivery schedules and revenue recognition. This regulatory pivot marks t...

An ex-police officer who disguised himself as a woman to sexually prey on teenage boys in Singapore was sentenced on Friday to three years’ jail and four strokes of the cane. While dressed in a dress and headscarf, Sharizal Shafi’ee, 40, approached three boys, asking them to help adjust his bra. The first two declined. The third agreed, believing Sharizal was genuinely a woman in need of assistance, but was later molested by him. Advertisement Sharizal was a police officer at the time of the offences but has since lost his job. He earlier pleaded guilty to five charges, all involving sexual offences against three teen boys, then aged 15 years old. These are for procuring the commission of obscene acts, molesting and producing child abuse material by recording two of the teens in sexual acts. Advertisement Another 10 charges of a similar nature were taken into consideration for sentencing. These include one amalgamated charge of voyeurism, as he had recorded videos of 32 men engaged in sexual acts for around six months.
