When China broke out one of its “big guns” in last year’s trade war with the US – an array of export controls on rare earth elements – it helped spur a temporary truce in the pitched conflict between the two economic superpowers. After Beijing’s announcement, many around the world expressed shock at the size and scope of China’s response to Washington’s sky-high tariffs. But for Japan, a squeeze o...
When China broke out one of its “big guns” in last year’s trade war with the US – an array of export controls on rare earth elements – it helped spur a temporary truce in the pitched conflict between the two economic superpowers. After Beijing’s announcement, many around the world expressed shock at the size and scope of China’s response to Washington’s sky-high tariffs. But for Japan, a squeeze on rare earth shipments was not so novel a concept. In 2010, following the collision of a Chinese...
It's understandable that you'd want to claim Social Security as early as possible so you can get the most checks. But there's a pretty big drawback to doing this. Claiming early permanently reduces your Social Security benefit by up to 30%. The longer you wait to apply, the larger your checks will be, until you qualify for your maximum retirement benefit at age 70. But you don't have to wait that ...
It's understandable that you'd want to claim Social Security as early as possible so you can get the most checks. But there's a pretty big drawback to doing this. Claiming early permanently reduces your Social Security benefit by up to 30%. The longer you wait to apply, the larger your checks will be, until you qualify for your maximum retirement benefit at age 70. But you don't have to wait that long to see a noticeable change. Even holding off for one month can make a lasting difference. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and Venezuelan economic official Calixto Ortega held talks in Washington, the IMF head’s first in-person meeting with country’s authorities since the fund resumed formal engagement with Venezuela last month. “We discussed how the IMF can support efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability, including through capacity development,” Georgieva said in an X post on Saturday. Ortega is vice president of Venezuela’s Economy Ministry. Venezuela has said it plans to move fast on a comprehensive debt restructuring, aimed at reworking its $170 billion pile of debt from multiple types creditors. Read More: A 220% Bond Rally Snaps as Venezuela Euphoria Gets Reality Check Venezuela has started to share some economic data with the IMF as it resumed relations with the Washington-based lender under acting President Delcy Rodriguez. The IMF hasn’t done a standard annual review of Venezuela’s economy — known as an Article IV consultation — since 2004. In a call last month, Rodriguez told Georgieva that the country has raised the need to access to about $5 billion of its reserve assets in the IMF, known as special drawing rights. Venezuela’s access is suspended until the international community recognizes a government in Caracas.
Some struggle to love Mikel Arteta’s side but they went toe-to-toe with PSG in a gruelling, high-grade contest It always seemed likely, somehow, that Arsenal’s season was going to come down to Gabriel Magalhães and a set piece. Just not, ideally, like this. Football does love a note of dramatic irony. And while Arsenal may have lost this Champions League final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain a...
Some struggle to love Mikel Arteta’s side but they went toe-to-toe with PSG in a gruelling, high-grade contest It always seemed likely, somehow, that Arsenal’s season was going to come down to Gabriel Magalhães and a set piece. Just not, ideally, like this. Football does love a note of dramatic irony. And while Arsenal may have lost this Champions League final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain after three brain-mangling hours of unresolved jab, smother and counter-thrust in the humid green bowl of the Puskas Arena, this was also a brilliant, high-grade, dizzyingly tense game of football.

Veterans such as Messi and Modric are much in evidence at the finals, but an obsession with celebrity may undermine Portugal It turns out that 2022 wasn’t Lionel Messi’s last dance after all. He will turn 39 during the World Cup, but despite concerns over the “muscular overload” that led to him limping out of Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union on Sunday, he remains the figure on whom Ar...
Veterans such as Messi and Modric are much in evidence at the finals, but an obsession with celebrity may undermine Portugal It turns out that 2022 wasn’t Lionel Messi’s last dance after all. He will turn 39 during the World Cup, but despite concerns over the “muscular overload” that led to him limping out of Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union on Sunday, he remains the figure on whom Argentinian hopes rely. Messi won’t be the only veteran in Canada, the US and Mexico: Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41, will also be there – inevitably, given how his career and Messi’s seem inextricably bound. So will Luka Modric and Edin Dzeko, plus the goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Craig Gordon, Guillermo Ochoa and Vozinha, all of whom are 40. And there is one 39-year-old other than Messi: the Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo. Continue reading...
