The Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom has warned its citizens in the country to beware of scams involving fraudsters posing as staff from Hong Kong’s anti-corruption watchdog. In a statement on Monday, the embassy said criminals had recently posed as staff of the city’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to carry out telecommunications fraud. The criminals falsely accused victims of offences such as money laundering, pressuring them to cooperate in a bogus “investigation” and to transfer money to accounts posing as those of “ICAC staff” or other fake “safe accounts,” it said.

Scammers pose as Hong Kong ICAC staff, falsely accusing victims of crimes like money laundering and demand funds be transferred to ‘safe accounts’.

petesphotography/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Park Aerospace ( PKE ) is a very small aerospace and defense supplier but with significant growth prospects. Previously, the company’s main growth driver was the higher production rates for commercial airplane programs, but in prior quarters missile defense demand has also increasingly been noted as a growth driver. All of that was before the war in Iran. With the war going on, the growth narrative for defense demand is only strengthening. In this report, I focus on the surge in missile demand and discuss how Park Aerospace is positioned to benefit. The stock has risen 38% since my last report and exceeded my price targets. However, there are key funding initiatives and demand that could provide an additional growth driver for Park Aerospace. U.S. Defense Contractors Agree to Quadruple Production With a $50 Billion Funding Opportunity In the months prior to war in Iran, President Trump was unhappy with the output of defense suppliers, and RTX was the primary company that had been targeted by the President’s remarks. My view has been that the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces in the prior years have transferred a significant amount of risk to U.S. defense contractors, and many companies had already been working on significantly increasing production in light of global missile and missile defense demand. So, if the U.S. seeks accelerated production and delivery schedules, it should place bigger orders and also make investments. Defense contractors have now agreed to quadruple production, with the Pentagon preparing a $50 billion supplemental budget request in support of replenishment. The Opportunity for Park Aerospace Currently, it looks a lot like President Trump called the primary contractors for missile and missile defense systems to the White House, and they set the target to increase production fourfold. That is not how things went. Since 2022, we have seen Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) already working on expanding i...

U.S. stock traders may be underprepared for a potential correction in the S&P 500 of up to 10% from its peak due to the war in Iran, according to the trading desk at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Andrew Tyler, JPMorgan’s head of global market intelligence, turned “tactically bearish” on U.S. stocks on Monday as the Middle East conflict showed no signs of abating, sending oil above $100 a barrel. Such a correction would see the S&P 500 fall roughly 10% from its peak, to about 6,270 points, or 7% below Friday’s close. "There has been a clear escalation with oil infrastructure hit on both sides … The precedent of oil infrastructure under attack has officially begun and we believe the products rally seen last week is just starting," JPMorgan's commodities trading desk wrote. Morgan Stanley, meanwhile, argued that the market's rolling correction since last fall is almost over. Chief investment officer Mike Wilson wrote that the bank maintains its bullish stance on stocks over the next six to 12 months, despite recent headline risk. According to Wilson, the market has been in a "rolling correction" since October, with returns relatively flat despite strong earnings results.

The findings are anticipated to shed light on the demand for enterprise clouds, the potential for biotech recovery, and the developing private space sector. Defensive Start to the Session Markets began the North American trading session with a defensive tone. The U.S. dollar strengthened, equities moved lower, and Treasury yields climbed, while crude oil prices surged sharply. The cautious mood reflected ongoing geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, particularly the risk of supply disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route. Although markets had already pulled back from the most extreme overnight moves, traders remained cautious as they assessed the potential economic impact of escalating regional tensions. G7 Talks Focus on Energy Supply Market attention soon shifted to discussions among G7 finance ministers, who met to address the surge in oil prices and potential measures to stabilize energy markets. While the meeting did not result in an immediate de...

Some Asian LNG buyers are struggling to find prompt cargoes after a war-related outage at the world’s largest export facility in Qatar tightened global supplies of the super-chilled fuel. Countries including Thailand , Bangladesh , India and Vietnam are dipping into the spot market to safeguard near-term energy security as uncertainty persists over the duration of the US-Israeli war against Iran. But some tenders for this month — like from India’s Gail and GSPC — have gone unawarded, indicating a shortage of immediately available fuel. Thailand’s PTT was seeking a late March-early April cargo but only bought for next month. While some importers were able to secure liquefied natural gas for March, a few of these cargoes were awarded at high prices. Bangladesh secured two emergency shipments for this month, one at about $28 per million British thermal units — about 2.5 times higher than the January rate — and the other at close to $23/mmbtu, according to a Petrobangla official, who added the move was to avert a domestic energy crisis. The tight supply also comes at a time when Southeast Asia is expecting hotter weather in the months ahead, potentially raising demand for energy. Buyers in Asia will need to continue competing with each other and Europe for a limited amount of gas.

European gas jumped as much as 30% Monday, following a spike in crude oil, before settling about 6% higher. Asian LNG prices have more than doubled since the war broke out on Feb. 28, with traders expecting prices to remain high for as long as it lasts.

(RTTNews) - European stocks are seen opening broadly higher on Tuesday after U.S. stocks recovered from a major selloff to end notably higher overnight on hopes for a potential resolution to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. U.S. stock futures traded lower as tensions prevail, with Israel launching waves of airstrikes in retaliation for a barrage of Hezbollah rockets and missiles. Iran launched new barrages of missile and drones at Gulf Arab states hosting U.S. military bases and Israel as supporters of the Islamic Republic staged rallies to celebrate the appointment of a new hardline leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Energy markets remain a central focus after the recent surge in crude prices fueled concerns about the outlook for inflation, interest rates and economic growth. Brent crude prices last traded down over 6 percent at 92.64 a barrel, recovering some early losses after finance ministers from the G7 countries broadly agreed to delay the release of oil from their strategic reserves. WTI crude futures were down nearly 7 percent at $88.34 a barrel after hitting a low of $84.45 earlier. Asian markets were broadly higher, the dollar held an overnight decline and bond yields declined while gold traded 0.6 percent higher at $5,169 an ounce. In economic releases, traders await a key batch of U.S. economic data later this week, including the January consumer price index report scheduled for release on Wednesday and the February personal consumption expenditures price index due on Thursday for additional clues on the Fed's rate trajectory in the coming months. Overnight, U.S. stocks recovered from a sharp early sell-off to end notably higher as oil prices whipsawed and President Trump said the war with Iran may not last that long. Trump told CBS News that he thinks "the war is very complete, pretty much and they have nothing left in a military sense." Trump also added that he's thinking about taking over the Strait of Hormuz.
