Swedish nuclear startup Blykalla AB has submitted an application to the government to build six small reactors to help meet the anticipated growth in power demand in the decades ahead. The project, located north of Stockholm, would have a total capacity of 330 megawatts and aims to begin generation in the early 2030s, Chief Executive Officer Jacob Stedman said in an interview Monday. About 80% to 85% of the project’s cost could be covered by state loans, and a separate application for that funding will be filed, he said. Expanding the nation’s nuclear capacity was a key electoral promise of the center-right coalition that came to power in 2022. With the electrification of everything from heavy industry to transport, Sweden’s power demand is expected to surge in the coming decades, along with most other developed nations. Blykalla is not alone in pursuing new nuclear projects. A venture led by state-owned utility Vattenfall AB, known as Videberg Kraft, is targeting new reactors on Sweden’s west coast by the middle of the next decade. Read More: Industrial Giants to Join Vattenfall in Swedish Nuclear Push “Our timeline for early next decade is almost more ambitious than Videberg Kraft’s, and we think we can be one of the first new projects up and running,” Stedman said. The last project to come online in Sweden — one of six large-scale reactors currently in operation — was in 1985. Blykalla’s design, known as the Sealer, is a so-called advanced small modular reactor, or SMR. Unlike the reactors in use today, it uses lead-cooling technology rather than conventional light-water cooling. The project site at Norrsundet in Gavle municipality — about 200 kilometers (124 miles) north of Stockholm — is located between two of the nation’s four power price areas and would help address regional power shortages. Blykalla has so far raised about $100 million in private and public funding. The money is being used to develop a test reactor at Oskarshamn, finalize designs for the ful...

JHVEPhoto Berkahire Hathaway still held its position in Kraft Heinz Company ( KHC ) on March 31, according to its 13G filing. The company held the position of just over 325M shares despite filing in January its intention to sell the position. At Berkshire's ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) annual meeting in Omaha earlier in the month, management commentary seemed to indicate that CEO Greg Abel and upper management still view Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) as an investment they would prefer to own for the long term, but one they are certainly willing to exit if the relationship stops working. Abel noted that Berkshire ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) generally buys businesses as permanent holdings and does not expect to break them apart, while also noting that if a business relationship becomes nonfunctional, the company would examine a better option. The meeting was taken by analysts as a confirmation that Berkshire ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) has increased confidence in Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) after the food giant's decision to pause its business split. Berkshire's ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) equity stake in Kraft Heinz is about 27.5% based on the most recent filings and reporting, which makes the company still the largest shareholder. Shares of Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) traded flat in premarket trading at $22.90 vs. the 52-week range of $21.04 to $29.19. The dividend yield for new buyers of the stock is 7.0%.

The European Securities and Markets Authority has drawn up a shortlist of six candidates to lead the watchdog that’s set to be handed beefed-up powers. ESMA ’s board will interview the candidates on Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. A spokeswoman for the European Union authority declined to comment. The shortlist includes Carlo Comporti , a top official at Italy’s markets regulator Consob, Vasiliki Lazarakou of Greece’s watchdog, Carmine Di Noia from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Gabriela Figueiredo Dias, chair of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants , said the people. ESMA Executive Director Natasha Cazenave and Karen Abelskov, an official at Denmark’s Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, are also among the candidates, said some of the people. The EU plans to expand the role of Paris-based ESMA as part of efforts to deepen its capital markets by channeling low-yielding savings into investments. Yet appointments to top jobs are subject to horse-trading in Europe, with countries competing to place their nationals atop major institutions. Gender balance has also traditionally played a role. The current chairperson, Verena Ross is set to step down when her contract ends in October. The German’s successor will likely lead a more powerful management team, while also being subject to checks and balances.

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images Summary I gave a hold rating to KinderCare ( KLC ) in November '25 as the fundamentals still looked weak (enrollment and occupancy were muted). I maintain my hold rating on KLC after the Q1 2026 results. The quarter showed some progress, especially in the Opportunity Region, Champions, and B2B, but the broader recovery is still not apparent. ECE revenue, enrollment, and occupancy remain weak, and the margin impact is still very visible. The biggest new issue is the planned increase in center closures, which may help quality over time but adds more uncertainty to near-term numbers. Earnings results update KLC's Q1 2026 revenue looked stable on the surface. It was up 0.6% y/y, coming in at $672.5 million, but underneath it, the mix was not strong. Same-center revenue [SCR] was down as enrollment came in lower, while newer centers and tuition growth helped offset part of the pressure. For the revenue growth bridge, pricing added ~2% to ECE (Early Childhood Education) revenue growth, but overall enrollment fell 3% y/y, so the quarter was not really about demand recovery. It was more about KLC holding revenue roughly flat (via pricing) while the core volume base stayed weak. The weakness is apparent when we look at the results by segment. ECE remained the problem area with revenue down 0.8% y/y to $610.2 million, driven by average weekly ECE FTE (full-time equivalent) enrollment down 3% y/y to 139,782. While same-center occupancy improved by 150 bps to 66% from 4Q25, it was still down 310 bps y/y. Before & After School Sites, or Champions, did better this quarter. Revenue grew 17.1% y/y to $62.4 million, supported by new site openings and pricing. Specifically, site count improved from 1,038 last year to 1,159. That said, as much as this was a solid quarter, the issue is size. Champions is growing much faster than ECE, but it is not large enough to fully offset weakness in the core childcare center business. Down the P&L is wh...

英国央行货币政策委员梅根・格林表示，各国央行不能想当然认为伊朗局势冲突带来的通胀冲击只是暂时性的，政策制定者也不必等冲击影响全部显现后，再敲定利率政策立场。 格林周一在媒体举办的活动上称：“这是五年内我们遭遇的第三次负面供给冲击，我们必须警惕薪资与物价出现联动上涨。” “以往市场惯例是无视短期负面供给冲击，但接连遭遇多轮冲击后，这套老旧思路已然过时，我们不能再对此置之不理。” 今年4月，格林与英国央行货币政策委员会多数委员立场一致，投票赞成维持利率不变，但她当时就表态，后续议息会议仍有加息可能性。 格林在周一发言中指出，能源价格飙升引发的二次通胀效应——例如员工集体要求涨薪、企业大范围上调产品售价等，往往需要一年时间才会彻底显现。 另一位货币政策委员会成员凯瑟琳・曼恩则表示，她正等待多项经济数据出炉，其中包括将于周三公布的4月官方通胀数据以及更多前瞻性经济指标，以此评估通胀上行风险。 曼恩在匈牙利央行于布达佩斯举办的会议间隙接受路透社采访时称，英国首相斯塔默政局前景存在不确定性，或将从反向对通胀形成压制。 她表示：“各类政局不稳都会扰乱企业与民众的经济决策，催生观望情绪，不利于经济增长。” 目前投资者押注英国央行在今年年底前至少加息两次，而上周路透社调查的多数经济学家则预判，英国借贷利率将维持不变。 责任编辑：江学思

In this article ANF LULU Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 1:15 01:15 Lululemon proxy fight against founder Chip Wilson goes to shareholder Squawk Box Lululemon is showing its teeth. The Vancouver-based athleticwear company is taking its battle with activist founder Chip Wilson public, writing in a letter to shareholders on Monday he has "outdated perspectives" and "troubling conflicts of interest" that will derail its turnaround plan, materials reviewed by CNBC show. The letter, Lululemon's first major public response to Wilson since his proxy battle ramped up late last year, comes after settlement talks with the retailer's founder fell apart last week, materials reviewed by CNBC show. The missive lays out why the company's strategy, its incoming CEO Heidi O'Neill and board nominees are ultimately best for shareholders as it urged them to vote in its favor and set June 25 as the date for its long-awaited annual meeting. "Wilson, who stopped serving on the Board over a decade ago for well-documented reasons, has been attacking the company and the Board for many years, damaging the brand and hurting shareholders. He has now put forward three opposing nominees in an attempt to regain increased influence over the company that he has coveted since he left," the letter, viewed by CNBC, states. "Your Board firmly believes that replacing any of lululemon's directors with Mr. Wilson's less qualified nominees would endorse his misguided perspectives, deprive the company of critical skills and expertise, and risk derailing our progress in an especially pivotal time for our business and organization." Wilson didn't immediately return a request for comment. Lululemon's business has been under pressure for around two years, particularly in the Americas, its largest market, as it navigates the impact of tariffs, a shaky U.S. consumer and a product assortment that's failed to wow shoppers in the same way it once did. It has also faced steep competitio...

歡迎收看《世界觀》。 英國工黨在地方選舉慘敗，身兼黨魁的首相施紀賢陷入執政危機，事件持續發酵。首名辭職的內閣高層、前衞生大臣施卓添正式表態會參選黨魁，成為首位明確挑戰者。 英國民眾稱：「我不認為英國人想換首相，已經太多了，我認為(施紀賢)他應該留任。」 另一名英國民眾認為：「(施紀賢)他所屬工黨大部分成員要求他下台，他一是作出真正重大行動，維持工黨執政；一是他會在選舉中落敗，工黨將要舉行緊急(黨魁)選舉。」 英國前衞生大臣施卓添說：「我們的衞生服務曾讓舉世羡慕，我們仍可以這樣。」 日前辭去英國衞生大臣一職的施卓添，在一場演說中表示，工黨需要一場合適的選舉，讓最有競爭力的人參與其中，他確認自己會參選，但在大曼徹斯特市長貝安德重返國會前，不會發起黨魁選舉。又提到英國「脫歐」是災難錯誤，英國要跟歐盟建立新的特殊關係，暗示希望英國日後重新加入歐盟。 43歲施卓添來自工黨右翼，曾負責改革英國國民醫療服務體系，被指是最擅長溝通的官員，亦被視為工黨內部明日之星。但在美國已故性犯罪富豪愛潑斯坦醜聞中辭職的英國前駐美大使文德森，與施卓添有交情，可能影響施卓添的政治前途。有調查發現工黨內部只有約一成議員，將他列為黨魁首選，大約四成議員將貝安德列為首選。 56歲貝安德曾兩度參加黨魁選舉，但都不成功，之後「轉跑道」，出任大曼徹斯特市長並三度當選，任內主要政績是改善地區交通。新冠疫情期間，他曾批評保守黨政府，對英格蘭北部地區的封城措施，為他贏得「北方之王」的稱號。 貝安德現時不是國會議員，剛獲准出戰梅克菲爾德選區的補選，預計六月舉行，他要勝出並重返國會，才可獲得參選黨魁資格。分析認為，梅克菲爾德選區有不少選民都支持「脫歐」，貝安德認同英國重返歐盟的願景，但為保票倉，他不會在今次補選提出這個主張。 倫敦瑪麗女王大學政治學教授貝爾指出：「我認為他(貝安德)可以在補選勝出，可能很緊湊，但是可以勝出的，一旦他重返國會，黨魁選舉有可能會啟動，可能還有些『黑馬』人選。」 其他黨魁熱門人選，還包括英國前副首相韋雅蘭，曾捲入漏稅風波的她表示，當局調查後證明她是清白。根據工黨規定，參加黨魁選舉的人，必須得到最少兩成國會議員書面提名。 現時下議院有403名工黨議員，參選門檻是獲得81名議員支持，在啟動黨魁選舉後，假如施紀賢亦決定參選，他的名字會自動列在選票上，之後由黨員及所屬工會等支持者，以優先排序方式投票，得...

EPA Unwinds Massive Biden-Era Auto Emissions Regulations That Had 2027 Deadline Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (Emphasis ours), The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a deregulatory action to delay compliance deadlines for Biden-era emission standards, in a bid to make vehicles more affordable for Americans while ensuring greater consumer choice, the agency said in a May 14 statement. Ford Motor Company's electric F-150 Lightning on the production line at their Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Mich., on Sept. 8, 2022. Jeff Kowalsky/AFP via Getty Images In March 2024, the Biden-administered EPA issued new rules regarding tailpipe emissions applicable to light-duty and medium-duty vehicles for model years 2027 and beyond. The regulations sought to “significantly reduce” greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons from new light trucks, passenger cars, and larger pickups and vans. The changes were projected to help tackle what the Biden-era EPA called “climate crisis” and reduce air pollution after the agency set limits on gas emissions. For instance, in passenger cars, the greenhouse gas emission limit was set at 139 grams of carbon dioxide per mile, which should reduce to 73 grams by 2032. These regulations were expected to bring down carbon dioxide emissions by 7.2 billion tons through 2055, with the EPA saying there would be almost $100 billion in annual net benefits to American citizens, including $62 billion in lower fuel costs and maintenance costs, and $13 billion in public health benefits due to better air quality. At the time, the EPA said that the emission standards were expected to “accelerate the transition to clean vehicle technologies.” Between model years 2030–2032, around 30–56 percent of new light-duty vehicles and roughly 20–32 percent of new medium-duty vehicles were projected to be battery-electric vehicles, the document said. In its May 14 statement, EPA said it was ...

Richard Drury President Donald Trump said rising inflation linked to the Iran conflict has complicated the outlook for U.S. interest rate cuts, despite his long-running push for lower borrowing costs and repeated criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. In an interview with Fortune, Trump said inflation data could not be fully assessed until the conflict in the Middle East stabilizes. “You can’t really look at the figures until the war is over,” Trump said, referring to the impact of rising oil prices tied to the Iran conflict. The comments mark a more measured tone from Trump, who for years publicly pressured the Federal Reserve to cut rates more aggressively. During Powell’s tenure, Trump repeatedly accused the Fed of reacting too slowly to economic conditions and often referred to the central bank chief as “too late” for failing to ease policy sooner. Powell’s term has ended, though he remains in the role on an interim basis until Trump nominee Kevin Warsh formally takes over as Fed chair. Trump indicated in the Fortune interview that Warsh broadly shares his preference for lower interest rates and looser monetary policy. Trump has argued that lower borrowing costs are essential both for economic growth and for easing pressure from the country’s mounting debt burden. In the interview, he said the U.S. spends roughly $3B per day servicing its $38T debt load at current rates. Still, the president acknowledged that higher energy prices and supply disruptions tied to tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have complicated the inflation outlook, potentially delaying the case for additional rate cuts in the near term. Prediction markets have also shifted toward a higher-for-longer outlook. Contracts on Kalshi and Polymarket recently implied roughly a 65% to 70% probability that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates this year, reflecting investor concerns that inflation could remain elevated.

前段时间， 河南人最听不得的两个字莫过于“蒜薹”。 一切源于河南今年的蒜薹产量暴增。 直播间里，农户们纷纷开始卖起没人收的蒜薹，甚至请外地人来带走自己家的蒜薹，不要钱、免费送，只要能自己抽就行。 很快，事情就发展到有点抽象的程度。“直播间下单的河南蒜薹买五斤发八斤”“司机到河南送货被塞30斤蒜薹”“蒜薹编成花环送给游客”……与蒜薹有关的一切，天天挂在热搜上。 蒜薹元素更是被网友们做成各种品牌联名、表情包，打开手机，瞬间就掉入了绿色的“蒜薹平行宇宙”。一头雾水的外地网友们一边跟风、一边好奇，到底发生了什么，蒜薹怎么突然就泛滥了？ 01 抽不完蒜薹的河南人，全网许愿 “希望今天来50个小偷，把俺家的蒜薹都偷完。你要是不会我教你，挎个包、弯个腰，手里拿个棍儿，一抽就出来了，腰一点儿都不疼。” 只能说，河南人最近对蒜薹原地消失的渴望达到了顶峰，每家都渴望一个“蒜薹小偷”爱心到访。网络上，大家纷纷喊着：“来河南，管饭管水，只要自己抽了带走就行。” △蒜薹产量暴增，也让购买者收到了成倍的蒜薹。（图/小红书截图） 不少农户甚至已经推车在超市门口免费送给路人，直接“放生”成捆的蒜薹了。谁能想到，江浙沪超市里的蒜薹6块钱一斤，但在河南，人到超市门口就可以得到大自然的馈赠。 去河南旅游，说不定也能收获到随机“掉落”的蒜薹。一位河北火车司机在网上发视频，自己去河南送货，路上被附近的农民大姐硬塞了二三十斤的蒜薹。 甚至在河南郑州、商丘等多地的景区内，只要参加互动项目，也能免费领到蒜薹。 今年的河南蒜薹的确是丰收了，和种植量、气候以及全国各产区蒜薹今年同时期上市等因素相关。产量过大，导致收购价格低至一两毛钱。蒜薹滞销，但为什么很多农户宁可白送？ 实际上，它还与大蒜种植有关。 在全国范围内，河南是我国的大蒜主要产区，早在西汉时期，张骞出使西域带回的“胡蒜”就在豫东平原扎下根。 河南杞县更是凭借个大、皮白的“白玉蒜”成为“中国大蒜之乡”。 河南大蒜甚至出口到国外，带动的经济收入可观，可以说是河南本地真正的“蒜盘”。 农户们是奔着种植大蒜去的，而蒜薹相当于它的副产品。 如果蒜薹不及时抽掉，养分就会被它抢占，影响下面的大蒜头生长，使其品质下降。 因此，抽掉蒜薹就是种植大蒜必须完成的环节。 然而，抽掉大量的蒜薹，本身也需要不少的人工费用，过低的收购价格难以覆盖抽蒜薹的成本。与此同时，和大蒜不同，蒜薹本...
