Few stocks have been as good an investment as Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) has been this year. Its stock is up around 94% as of the time of writing so far in 2026, and it could easily cross the 100% threshold over the next few days if the artificial intelligence (AI) rally is sustained. Many investors will look at Nebius's stock chart and assume they've missed the boat on it and need to look somewhere else. However, that's not the case. I think Nebius is still a solid investment pick now, as its projected revenue growth far outpaces its stock performance. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

EschCollection/DigitalVision via Getty Images Main International ETF Outlook International equities had very favorable performance in 2025 and have continued to hold their ground amid selling pressures in 2026. The Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund ETF has outperformed the S&P 500 by around 9% percentage points since the beginning of 2025. Data by YCharts The Main International ETF ( INTL ) is one intriguing vehicle to consider, as its active global macro strategy has led to significant outperformance of other international ETFs. INTL targets a variety of international ETFs, providing diversification from the S&P 500 and the potential to outperform other global indices like the MSCI World Index. The Main International ETF invests in reasonably priced global equities, including both developed and emerging markets, and its more active global macro approach should support continued outperformance. The main downside of INTL is that it charges a relatively higher management fee and invests in ETFs that retail investors can access on their own. Main International ETF Overview The Main International ETF is a relatively newly listed ETF that invests in a basket of international ETFs. It charges a 0.89% management fee and has a 0.84% net expense ratio. INTL manages around $214 million in assets and has relatively lower liquidity, as its average trading volume is only around 16,000 shares/day. INTL INTL has had very favorable performance since it was listed in 2022, performing roughly in line with other indices like the MSCI ACWI ex. USA Index. INTL The Main International ETF invests in the following ETFs, providing it with a blend of exposure to developed markets and emerging markets in markets outside of the United States. The top 5 ETFs it invests in account for around 88% of its assets. INTL INTL uses an active strategy and occasionally changes its ETF composition. For example, it previously held a Mexico ETF as of July 2025 . Its current composition focuses on a blen...

US Treasury Extends Russian Crude Waiver Amid Supply Disruptions Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times, The Trump administration renewed a key sanctions waiver on April 17, allowing countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea, responding to urgent pressure from Asian nations battered by skyrocketing energy costs. The move also reverses a position Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had stated two days earlier. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License 134B on Friday, authorizing transactions tied to Russian crude and petroleum products loaded onto vessels as of that date. The waiver runs through May 16 and replaces a previous license that expired on April 11. The move comes after Bessent told reporters on Wednesday the administration would not extend the earlier waiver, signaling what appeared to be a firmer stance on Russian energy exports. “As negotiations [with Iran] accelerate, Treasury wants to ensure oil is available to those who need it,” a Treasury spokesperson said. The Russia-related license waiver excludes transactions to Iran, Cuba, and North Korea. Global oil prices tumbled 9 percent on Friday to about $90 a barrel after Iran temporarily reopened the Strait of Hormuz, an oil choke point in the Gulf. Trump also discussed oil on a call on Tuesday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a major purchaser of Russian crude. The ongoing war in Iran has cost New Delhi access to approximately 3 million barrels per day that previously transited the Strait of Hormuz. The war, which enters its eighth week on Saturday, has damaged more than 80 oil and gas facilities in the Middle East, and Tehran has warned it could close the strait again if the recent U.S. Navy blockade of Iranian ports continues. Just before Friday’s reversal, the Treasury had declared it was moving aggressively to maintain “maximum pressure” on Iran under its “Economic Fury” campaign, and would not renew a separate waiver on Iranian oil sale...
