Donald Trump has announced he will deploy an “additional” 5,000 US troops to Poland, just days after the Pentagon controversially halted a long-planned deployment of forces to the country – the largest on Nato’s eastern flank. “Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that th...
Donald Trump has announced he will deploy an “additional” 5,000 US troops to Poland, just days after the Pentagon controversially halted a long-planned deployment of forces to the country – the largest on Nato’s eastern flank. “Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland,” Trump said on Truth Social. It was not immediately clear whether the deployment would be rotational or permanent, or if there was any link to Trump’s previous decision to pull 5,000 troops out from Germany. There are about 10,000 US troops in Poland. The announcement seems to mark a rare U-turn after the Pentagon said earlier this week it would delay a rotation of 4,000 US troops from the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division to Poland as part of a broader review of the US force posture in Europe. Trump’s vice-president, JD Vance, defended the decision as recently as Wednesday, telling a Polish reporter that the US wanted Europe to take more responsibility for its defence and security, adding “Poland is capable of defending itself with a lot of support from the United States.” He criticised the media for “overreacting” over what he said was “a very minor thing” and “a standard delay.” But the original decision – which appeared to catch Warsaw by surprise – prompted anxious reactions from top Polish leaders worried about the assertive Russian stance in the region amid continuing war in Ukraine, and drew criticism in the US Congress.

機場二號客運大樓離港設施下周三啟用 機管局料兩大樓每年處理1億人次旅客 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】機場二號客運大樓離港設施下星期三啟用,機管局說每年最多可以處理3,000萬人次的旅客,連同一號客運大樓,每年旅客處理人次達到1億。 二號客運大樓離境大堂有8個行段、108個傳統登記櫃檯,亦有4個自助登記區,提供合共約130個自助行李託運櫃檯及智能登記櫃檯。香港航空、香港快運等15間航空公司,在設施啟用起3星期內陸續遷至二號客運大樓辦理旅客登記。 由於二號客運大樓的登機廊預計明年底才啟用,現階段旅客要經捷運系統回到一號客運大樓登機。 機管局強調即使面對暑假每天超過2萬人次人流高峰,設施足以應付旅客出發前亦毋須預留更多時間。機管局機場運行執行總監姚兆聰:「由落客區可以進到安檢區,其實如果計步行距離,其實在一號客運大樓是更短。捷運系統是通過兩座大樓,所以捷運系的容量足夠應付二號客運大樓預計的客流,亦毋須擔心一號客運大樓的捷運系統,如果有甚麼特別事情,我們有後備方案處理。」

Kazuhiro Nogi | Afp | Getty Images SoftBank Group shares extended their scorching rally to a second day, rising over 12% Friday, and building on momentum after Nvidia's blockbuster earnings boosted AI-linked stocks. The company's shares had closed 20% higher Thursday, adding over $35 billion to its market cap. Softbank rally is also being powered by a sharp rise in Arm Holdings, in which the Japanese company holds a majority stake. Arm shares advanced over 16% overnight, after gaining more than 15% in the prior session. Nvidia recent results have reinforced optimism around continued spending on AI infrastructure and data centers. The potential OpenAI listing is also driving investors to SoftBank that has invested heavily into the ChatGPT maker, with the IPO set to unlock substantial value for SoftBank. The company has emerged as one of OpenAI's largest backers, investing more than $30 billion into OpenAI and booking roughly $45 billion in related gains in the fiscal year ended March.

ronniechua/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The last time I covered Vermilion Energy ( VET ), I reiterated their Strong Buy rating, with the stock now being up about 76% since first covering them in late October, roughly 10 times better than the S&P 500. Following a solid quarter that was dragged down by paper losses on derivatives, VET remains a Strong Buy, as the valuation continues to be very attractive while the company is pivoting away from its past, with significant re-rating potential over the long term. Pivotal Year Advances Vermilion Energy IR Although VET reported a net loss of C$145.54 million, this comes as a result of a C$286 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, which is "the result of significant increases in spot and forward oil and European gas prices resulting from geopolitical events in Q1 2026, partially offset by gains on AECO hedges," while the FCF reached a strong C$97.7 million, and they also announced achieving a great 25% YoY reduction in controllable costs per boe (operating, transportation, G&A, and interest), advancing on their Canadian and European focus. Vermilion Energy IR Again, what I'm trying to highlight about this company is that we're talking about a long-term investment that's been undergoing significant changes in recent years. I'm not denying that they've had questionable management before or that they've made mistakes, malinvestments, etc., but we should keep in mind that most of that management is out of the company already, so we're talking about something I called previously a "top-to-bottom fundamental transformation." Vermilion Energy IR On top of the management changes, this transformation came with several important changes on a business/operational level, with the company building a strong portfolio of long-life assets while growing its reserves per share and optimizing costs. Sure, there are still remnants of the "previous business" and I highlighted how Australian regulators shut down their legacy ...

(RTTNews) - The China stock market has finished lower in back-to-back sessions, tumbling more than 90 points or 2.2 percent in that span. The Shanghai Composite Index now sits just above the 4,075-point plateau although it may halt its slide on Friday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is cautiously optimistic on easing crude oil prices. The European markets were mixed and the U.S. bourses were up and the Asian markets figure to split the difference. The SCI finished sharply lower on Thursday following losses from the property, oil and resource sectors, while the financial shares came in mixed. For the day, the index plunged 84.91 points or 2.04 percent to finish at 4,077.28 after trading between 4,074.22 and 4,199.53. The Shenzhen Composite Index tumbled 68.80 points or 2.40 percent to end at 2,800.37.

The semiconductor packaging giant is betting big on Arizona, backed by $407 million in CHIPS Act funding, but Wall Street wanted more. Amkor Technology just locked in a collaboration with AMD on advanced chip packaging, announced by CEO Kevin Engel on May 21. The deal is part of Amkor’s broader push to build out a massive manufacturing campus in Arizona, with production slated to begin in early 2028. The market wasn’t exactly throwing confetti. Amkor shares dropped 2.6% after the company revealed revenue guidance of $8.5B to $9.5B for 2028, a range that came in slightly below what Wall Street had been expecting. The company also projected $11B in revenue by 2030. Advertisement The Arizona bet Amkor recently acquired an additional 67 acres adjacent to its existing 104-acre campus site, bringing the total to 171 acres. Groundbreaking for the advanced packaging campus took place on October 6, 2025. The first manufacturing facility is on track for completion by mid-2027, with volume production expected to follow in early 2028. The project has meaningful financial backing from Washington. Amkor has been allocated up to $407 million through the CHIPS Act, the federal program designed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to US soil. Why AMD, and why packaging matters Advanced packaging has become increasingly critical as the industry pushes into AI and high-performance computing. Techniques like 2.5D and 3D packaging allow chipmakers to stack or connect multiple dies together, dramatically improving performance and energy efficiency. Amkor already counts Nvidia and Apple among its high-profile clients. Adding AMD as a named packaging partner further solidifies its position as a go-to provider for the companies driving the AI hardware buildout. The Arizona campus is specifically targeting high-volume markets for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications. What this means for investors The $8.5B to $9.5B revenue range for 2028 represents meaning...

Google parent Alphabet NASDAQ:GOOG NASDAQ:GOOGL just hit an all-time intraday high ahead of earnings and has beaten the S&P 500 SP:SPX in pretty much every timeframe from one month to five years. What do its chart and fundamentals say heading into Wednesday's earnings report? Let's take a look: Alphabet's Fundamental Analysis GOOGL briefly hit a $349 intraday record peak on Tuesday morning as the search-and-cloud giant prepares to publish Q4 results after bell on Wednesday. The Street was looking at last check for Alphabet to report $2.64 in GAAP earnings per share on close to $111.5 billion of revenue. That would represent a 22.8% year-over-year gain from Q4 2024's $2.15 in GAAP EPS, as well as a 15.5% y/y gain from the year-ago period's roughly $96.5 billion in revenue. In fact, 34 of the 47 sell-side analysts on my radar that cover GOOGL have raised their earnings estimates for the quarter since the period began, while five have cut their numbers and eight have made no changes. Alphabet's Technical Analysis Next, let's look at GOOGL's chart going back some four months and running through Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 28): Readers will see the above chart dominated by a rising wedge of bearish reversal that appears close to closing. Running just below this wedge is the stock's 50-day Simple Moving Average, or "SMA," marked with a blue line. This means that losing the rising wedge's lower trendline could accelerate into a real breakdown if Alphabet doesn't quickly find support at the 50-day SMA line. Meanwhile, Alphabet's Relative Strength Index (or "RSI," denoted by a gray line at the chart's top) is quite robust, although not in a technically overbought state. That said, the stock's daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (or "MACD," marked with black and gold lines and blue bars at the chart's bottom) is in a far more precarious position. In fact, the MACD appears to be setting up for some volatility in the near term, as it's giving us mixed messages. ...
