Actor known for playing Monica Sutton in Coronation Street, her many stage roles, and film and TV appearances with her father, Donald Pleasence On 1 January 1968, viewers of the TV soap opera Coronation Street experienced a mild culture shock as a clump of hippies decked out in floral shirts, Afghan coats and John Lennon spectacles temporarily took over the house at No 11, former home to Elsie Tanner. Among the somnambulant invaders was Monica Sutton, who plucked the black wig dreamily from her head as she entered, and handed it to the bemused tenant. Offered a snack, she replied: “I’ll have a tomato, darlin’.” She then contemplated the food as if hypnotised by it. “Blows my mind,” she sighed. The hippies scarpered four episodes later, but television audiences over the next half a century became accustomed to the wan, haunted face of Angela Pleasence, who played Monica with such economical wit.

Data centers linked to Alphabet Inc. ’s Google are seeking to raise $5.7 billion from a junk-bond sale, in what would be the largest deal of its kind to finance the artificial intelligence buildout boom. Morgan Stanley kicked off marketing on Wednesday, and is expected to price the notes as soon as this week, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Proceeds will fund the construction of two data centers on a campus in Sullivan County, Indiana, which will be leased to cloud-computer startup Fluidstack Ltd. and backstopped by Google, the person added. The rapid expansion of AI has created an unprecedented shortage of data-center space, graphics-processing unit chips and quick access to electricity to power it all. To fund all of that, companies are tapping every corner of the debt markets from junk bonds to project finance . At $5.7 billion, the deal marks the largest US dollar junk bond to test investor demand for data-center debt, and the biggest to be led by one Wall Street institution — Morgan Stanley — according to Bloomberg-compiled data. The new deal would mean the bank beats its own prior record for a sole-led high-yield bond offering for cryptocurrency miner TeraWulf Inc. , a deal that was also backstopped by Google. A representative for Morgan Stanley declined to comment, while those for Google and Fluidstack didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The bonds will be issued by Meridian Arc HoldCo LLC, as the JV is formally known, the person said. Fluidstack helps develop data centers through building and operating high-performance computing infrastructure, an area of business that is booming amid the rise of artificial intelligence. The firm recently announced a $50 billion deal with Anthropic to build custom data centers for the large language model maker. In August, Fluidstack c...

【有線新聞】港大醫學院發現，用機械臂輔助全髖關節置換手術，可減低再做手術的風險。 研究團隊在2019年至2024年間，比較超過500宗全髖關節置換手術結果，當中311宗以機械臂輔助，242宗就以傳統人手操作，發現使用機械臂輔助手術的患者，完成手術90日後再次手術比率較傳統手術低1.9%。研究團隊稱，使用機械臂輔助手術可以減少手術誤差、關節脫位、骨折等術後風險，目前全港公立醫院幾乎有一半全髖關節置換手術都以機械臂輔助。 港大矯形及創傷外科學系臨床副教授傅俊謙：「我們不再靠X光做規劃，而是術前的電腦掃描可以準確量度人工關節的尺寸大小。術前已經掌握，不需要臨床時才每個大小測量、測試，放人工關節的準確性是很準確的。」

格隆汇4月16日｜欧洲央行执委施纳贝尔：必须非常谨慎地权衡政策决定。我们不想给经济带来不必要的成本。

FabrikaCr Fundstrat’s Tom Lee believes the stock market ( SP500 ), ( COMP:IND ), ( DJI ) is currently in a stronger position than when it reached all-time highs earlier this year, projecting the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) can climb to 7,300 before experiencing any significant pullback. The head of research and chief investment officer shared his optimistic outlook during an interview with CNBC, pointing to several factors that have bolstered his confidence in U.S. equities. Lee cited three primary reasons for his bullish stance: the U.S. market’s resilience amid surging oil prices, rising corporate earnings, and a diminished threat from inflation. “We now feel comfortable that the war is actually stimulating the economy,” Lee said, adding that historical analysis of oil spikes ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) suggests the impact on core inflation may be less severe than previously anticipated. The strategist characterized the U.S. as “the best house in a now more uncertain neighborhood,” noting that American factories continue operating while other nations face shutdowns. Lee pointed out that this represents the seventh black swan event thrown at investors since 2020, yet the U.S. economy has demonstrated it “can handle a Middle East catastrophe” even when trade routes are restricted and oil availability is constrained. While acknowledging that tail risks remain, Lee emphasized that “the size of the tail has shrunk.” He noted that credible concerns exist around commodity shocks, including helium supply disruptions, but suggested a lasting ceasefire could create positive tail risks that would minimize any economic damage to U.S. shores. Lee agreed with JPMorgan’s assessment that the technology sector must lead the next leg of the market rally. He highlighted that since the war began, the best-performing assets have been Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) and Bitcoin ( BTC-USD )—which correlate highly with tech—followed by energy stocks ( XLE ), the Magnificent Seven ( MAGS ), and software companie...

PonyWang OpenAI ( OPENAI ) released an updated version of its Agents Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows enterprises to build more capable agents able to work across multiple files and tools. It also features a sandboxing ability that increases the safety of agents as they are contained in a controlled workspace. "Many useful agents need a workspace where they can read and write files, install dependencies, run code, and use tools safely," the company said. "Native sandbox support gives developers that execution layer out of the box, instead of forcing them to piece it together themselves." This latest update comes about a week after OpenAI's chief rival, Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), launched Managed Agents . "With today's release, the Agents SDK harness becomes more capable for agents that work with documents, files, and systems," OpenAI said. "It now has configurable memory, sandbox-aware orchestration, Codex-like filesystem tools, and standardized integrations with primitives that are becoming common in frontier agent systems." The update also gives developers an in-distribution harness for frontier models. This allows agents to work with files and approved tools within a workspace. "The harness also helps developers unlock more of a frontier model's capability by aligning execution with the way those models perform best," OpenAI said. "That keeps agents closer to the model’s natural operating pattern, improving reliability and performance on complex tasks—particularly when work is long-running or coordinated across a diverse set of tools and systems." These new Agents SDK capabilities are now available to all customers via the API and use standard API pricing, based on tokens and tool use. The new harness and sandbox abilities are now in Python but will receive TypeScript support in a future update.

The S&P 500 ( SP500 ) and NASDAQ ( COMP:IND ) closed at record highs on Wednesday, buoyed by optimism surrounding ongoing U.S.-Iran talks and falling oil prices. The S&P 500 has surged more than 10% over the past 10 trading days, marking its best 10-day gain since the post-COVID lows of March 2020. Yet amid the celebration, Seeking Alpha analyst Daniel Jones is urging caution. Despite the market’s remarkable performance, Jones sees fundamental warning signs pointing toward economic trouble. “Even before the conflict broke out, the U.S. was heading down the path toward a stagflationary recession. I don’t see that changing even if market conditions improve,” Jones wrote. “Continued weakness from a jobs perspective, persistently high-interest rates aimed at combating tariff- and oil-induced inflation, and a weak consumer are all creating material risks moving forward.” His advice to investors was direct: “I am generally bearish about the market. And I think investors would be wise to adopt a similar mindset.” Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity, offered historical context, noting that “the markets have been pricing for a quick end [of the U.S.-Iran war], much like what happened during the 1990 Gulf War.” Fellow Seeking Alpha analyst Bret Jensen , in a recent analysis , echoed concerns about complacency, questioning whether the rally is “impressive and shows the resiliency of the U.S. economy and markets, or the rally is foolhardy and points out the investor complacency that is ripe throughout U.S. equities.” Jensen added that “any positives from the potential resolution of this conflict are potentially fully baked into equities,” maintaining a cautious stance on the overall market.

美联储周三发布的一份报告显示，美国企业和家庭仍在适应特朗普政府的关税政策，同时也因伊朗战争导致的能源价格飙升而受到冲击，尽管该报告指出，美国大部分地区的经济活动在最近几周有所增长，就业情况稳定。 美联储在其最新的褐皮书中称，中东冲突被认为是不确定性的主要来源，它使有关招聘、定价和资本投资的决策变得复杂，许多企业采取了观望姿态。 报告称，在未来状况普遍存在不确定性的情况下，商业前景各不相同。波士顿和圣路易斯联储地区的联系人指出，尽管发生了战争，但仍有一些人持乐观态度，而其他地区则普遍情绪低落。 正如一位联系人告诉堪萨斯城联储的那样，中低收入家庭“无法靠预算抵消低工资、关税和通胀的影响”。预计美联储将在4月28-29日举行的下一次政策会议上将其基准隔夜利率维持在当前的3.50%-3.75%区间，因为决策者们还将采取“观望”姿态。 根据对美联储所有12个地区的商业领袖和社区组织进行的调查和访谈，该报告指出，价格增长“总体上大多保持温和”。 报告称，能源成本上升意味着航运成本上升，塑料和化肥成本上升，并补充说，“除了与能源相关的上涨之外，投入成本压力也很普遍”。 克利夫兰联储在报告中指出，多家制造商和零售商提高了价格，以弥补投入成本的上升和之前消化的关税相关成本。一些制造商对受中东冲突影响的石油相关投入品征收附加费。 消费者的抵御能力减弱 最新报告中的信息收集于4月6日或之前，反映了自伊朗关闭霍尔木兹海峡导致全球约五分之一的石油运输和约三分之一的化肥运输中断以来的不稳定经济情绪。 美国汽油平均价格跃升至每加仑4美元以上，柴油零售价格飙升至每加仑5.60美元以上，化肥价格也大幅上涨。 上一期褐皮书是在2月28日中东最新敌对行动开始之前完成的，其中报告了对经济增长的总体乐观预期以及对物价上涨速度将放缓的预期。 尽管经历了一系列经济冲击，包括新冠大流行后的通胀飙升和去年的关税冲击，但决策者和分析师都对消费者支出的弹性感到惊讶。最新发布的褐皮书中有一些迹象表明，消费者的消费能力正在减弱。 美联储纽约地区的制造业企业指出，关税变化和战争带来的更大不确定性“颠覆了定价计划，使客户在承诺购买时犹豫不决”。纽约联储表示，即便如此，尽管存在不利因素，“一些企业仍报告称势头强劲”。 通胀前景 美联储决策者表示，他们通常会“看穿”大宗商品价格的暂时上涨，许多决策者表示，他们仍预计去年关税冲击带来...
