A "For Sale" sign outside a house in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025. Al Drago | Bloomberg | Getty Images The all-important spring housing market is off and running, and while the pace isn't expected to be strong, there are signs of optimism, at least among sellers. Some who gave up last year are jumping back in. Nearly 45,000 homes that were delisted last year were relisted for sale in January, according to Redfin, a real estate brokerage. That is the highest January figure since Redfin began tracking this metric a decade ago and represents a record 3.6% of homes that were on the market in January. The January figures come as Redfin reported a record number of sellers pulling their homes off the market last September. Close to 85,000 sellers delisted, up 28% from September 2024. Higher mortgage rates last year, still-high home prices and growing uncertainty in the economy sidelined buyers last fall, taking sellers out of the driver's seat, where they had been in the years during and just after the pandemic.

Ashley Rummage, a real estate agent in Raleigh, North Carolina, in response to CNBC's fourth-quarter Housing Market Survey , said in December that more sellers were being asked for concessions, and some just refused. "A lot of sellers I've encountered and worked with have just thrown their hands up in the air and said, 'If we can't get what we want for our house right now, or what we think is it's worth, then we're gonna go ahead and take it off to market and try again, maybe in the spring,'" Rummage said. The overall inventory of homes for sale nationally is higher than it was a year ago, but the gains are plateauing, according to Realtor.com.

南卡罗来纳州的厨师约翰・安德鲁斯经营着一家餐食配送服务公司。他估算，自己每周要开车 超过 100 英里 ，为客户送上新鲜的家常餐食。 “食品价格快把我压垮了，现在油价也高得离谱，” 安德鲁斯说，“这简直是 双重打击 。我干得和以前一样卖力，却一直在亏钱。” 运营成本高企、消费者需求疲软的局面已持续数年，而随着美国与伊朗冲突升级，油价再度攀升。这给支撑美国经济、提供大部分就业岗位的 小企业 带来了新的压力。 美国汽车协会（AAA）数据显示，周四美国汽油均价约为 每加仑 3.25 美元 ，较上月的 2.89 美元上涨超过 36 美分。 为大型货运卡车提供动力的柴油价格涨幅更大：柴油均价从一周前的 3.76 美元飙升至 4.16 美元 ，环比上涨约 11% 。 对于像安德鲁斯这样依赖车辆和配送的企业而言，中东冲突已通过油价上涨直接 侵蚀利润空间 。 尽管伊朗长期受制裁，其石油仍持续流向中国等买家。此次供应扰动推高了全球油价，并直接体现在加油站的标价上。 安德鲁斯的公司提供双人份预制餐，如柠檬蒜香鸡、青椒牛排，每份售价 17 美元。他表示， 涨价只是时间问题 —— 上一次涨价还是两年前通胀大幅推高食品价格的时候。 “我的客户大多是老年人，我不能一次次涨价，他们接受不了，” 安德鲁斯说，“但现在， 我真的一分钱都赚不到了 。” “所有东西都在涨价” 即便在伊朗战争爆发前，许多小企业就已步履维艰。 美联储本周发布的小企业报告显示： 2025 年，更多小企业报告营收 同比下滑 而非增长 未来 12 个月营收与招聘增长预期已降至 2020 年以来最低水平 加利福尼亚州伯班克市 “梦幻花店” 老板金・ 威廉姆斯 会精心规划配送路线以节省油费。过去一年，几家供应商因关税上调了价格。她有时能找到更便宜的替代品，但更多时候只能 上调售价 。 “我觉得这很正常，所有东西都在涨，” 威廉姆斯说，“我们的所有成本都在上升，比如保险和工人赔偿。” 她的经历反映了普遍趋势：美联储研究显示，小企业最常提到的财务挑战是 商品、服务和工资成本上涨 ，许多企业只能将成本转嫁给消费者。 附近的好莱坞巴士观光公司会载着游客穿行洛杉矶著名片场和高档社区，是游客必体验项目。但创始人克里斯・莱辛格表示生意明显下滑。去年当地山火和联邦移民收紧导致旅游业降温，他的 12 辆巴士载客量大幅减少。 “大部分游客都是外国人，”...

JHVEPhoto Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.B ) ( BRK.A ) has no near-term plans to adjust its stake in Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) after the food company halted its plan to split in two, Berkshire CEO Greg Abel said in a televised interview on Thursday. Last month, Kraft Heinz CEO Steve Cahillane paused the plan to separate the company so it can focus on returning to profitable growth. Berkshire's Warren Buffett has admitted that the investment was a disappointment. In January, Berkshire filed a registration statement that would give the company the ability to sell its remaining 27.5% stake in Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) if it wanted to. "We filed our registration statemen t really to be in a place that if we ever did sell, we'd be able to," Abel said in an interview on CNBC. "But it's not that we're going to take any immediate action currently." The filing registered Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.B ) ( BRK.A ) 325.4M shares in Kraft Heinz ( KHC ), representing 27.5% of the packaged food company's shares outstanding.

Alphabet GOOG slips as Google cuts Play Store fees after Epic deal and brings Fortnite back TechStock²

Linbury theatre, London For its quarter of a century celebrations, the company combines an eloquent new dance that speaks of idealism with a revival of its punchy social drama It’s 25 years since the indomitable Ballet Black was founded, and to mark the occasion they present us with a crackingly good double bill. The company generally commissions works from external choreographers, but here it rightly blows its own trumpet with a revival of a breakthrough piece by one of their own – Ingoma (2019) by Mthuthuzeli November, who has since gone on to work on an international scale. It doesn’t take long to see why this piece punched through. Its subject is the 2012 South African Marikana strike , where police killed 34 miners, and what initially looks like scene-setting – dark figures in overalls and headlamps, a single man centre-stage (Ebony Thomas), joined by his wife (Isabela Coracy) for a pleading duet – soon gives way to episodes of resounding force, the miners’ rhythmic gumboot dance hardening into the relentless heave and lunge of hard labour. Focus then switches to their womenfolk , whose wrenched gestures and blunt pointework speak of their own rage and struggles. Driven by relentless drumbeats and rising strings, the two groups merge into an outburst of revolt, its aftershock registered in isolated, tortuous solos by Helga Paris-Morales and Taraja Hudson. Throughout, November keeps the physical and emotional dynamics high, but always human. Continue reading...

格隆汇3月6日｜加拿大房地产市场今年开局疲软，其背后原因不止是天气。多伦多地区房地产委员会的数据显示，继1月份销量因当时天气状况不佳而下降10.9%之后，大多伦多地区经季节性调整的房屋销量环比又下降了4.9%。加拿大国家银行资本市场的Daren King表示，如果1月份的低迷是天气变幻莫测所致，那么2月份的交易量本应反弹。King表示，加拿大和美国之间贸易关系的恶化以及严峻的可负担性挑战显然抑制了房地产市场。这位经济学家表示，令人担忧的是，多伦多市场缺乏动能似乎也在对供应端构成压力，新挂牌房源减少了11.5%。

Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses could be sending sensitive footage to human reviewers in Nairobi, Kenya, according to an investigation by the Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten. The report, which was published last week, claims Meta contractors in Kenya have seen videos captured with the smart glasses that show “bathroom visits, sex and other intimate moments.” So far, at least one proposed class action lawsuit accusing Meta of violating false advertising and privacy laws has emerged in response to Svenska Dagbladet’s reporting, citing the company’s claim that its smart glasses are designed for privacy: By affirmatively claiming that the Glasses were designed to protect privacy, Meta assumed a duty to disclose material facts that would inform a reasonable consumer’s decision to purchase the product. Instead, Meta hid the alarming reality: that use of the AI features results in a stranger halfway around the world watching the most private moments of a person’s life. The Nairobi-based contractors interviewed by Svenska Dagbladet are AI annotators, meaning they label images, text, or audio, with the goal of helping AI systems make sense of the data they’re training on. “We see everything — from living rooms to naked bodies,” one worker says, according to Svenska Dagbladet. “Meta has that type of content in its databases.” A former Meta employee reportedly tells Svenska Dagbladet that faces in annotation data are blurred automatically, though workers in Kenya say this “does not always work as intended,” and some faces are still visible. Another person reportedly tells the outlet that a wearer’s bank cards are sometimes seen in the footage they review as well. Meta’s Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses come with a built-in...

Market sentiment among individual investors grew slightly less pessimistic in early March, according to the latest survey from the American Association of Individual Investors. Bullish sentiment, or expectations that stock prices will rise over the next six months, edged down to 33.1% for the week ended March 4, from 33.2% in the prior week, while bearish sentiment declined to 35.5% from 39.8% a week earlier. Equity markets faced renewed volatility during the week as escalating conflict involving Iran lifted oil prices and rattled investor confidence. U.S. stocks slid at several points, with the S&P 500 falling to a three-month low and the VIX jumping to a three-month high as geopolitical tensions intensified. Treasury yields also moved higher, with the U.S. 10-year yield climbing back above 4.1% amid rising inflation expectations, while crude prices surged on concerns that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could tighten global energy supply. Markets attempted intermittent rebounds, supported at times by labor data and strength in select chip stocks, but overall trading remained cautious as investors weighed war-related risks, inflation pressures, and uneven global economic signals. According to AAII, neutral sentiment, or expectations that stock prices will stay essentially unchanged over the next six months, increased to 31.4% from 27% in the previous week. The survey has been conducted by the American Association of Individual Investors since 1987, in which it asks respondents for their thoughts on where the market is heading in the next six months.

Life can be unpredictable. Even if you're great at following a budget, you may have periods when your bills come in higher than expected. If your roof springs a leak, for example, that's not the sort of thing you can plan for. Neither is a broken leg and hefty hospital bill to follow. That's why it's so important to have an emergency fund at all times. That money can cover not only unplanned bills, but a period of unemployment. If you don't have a dedicated emergency fund but you do have a nice pile of money sitting in an IRA or 401(k) plan, you may be inclined to use your retirement nest egg as your backup plan. But here's why having a separate emergency fund is a much better bet. Raiding retirement savings early has consequences If you're sitting on a pretty nice sum of money in your IRA or 401(k), then you may inclined to skip the emergency fund. After all, if you have $240,000 socked away for retirement and need $2,400 in pinch to cover a car repair, that's just 1% of your nest egg. Surely you can replenish that money over time, right? Well, it's not that simple. First, you should know that when you raid an IRA or 401(k) before turning 59 1/2, you're generally subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. That $2,400 car repair withdrawal? It'll cost you $240 off the bat. Secondly, when you take a withdrawal from a traditional IRA or 401(k) plan, that distribution is taxable. This holds true whether you're tapping your savings early or not. So whatever amount you need in a pinch, you'll need to withdraw more than that to cover the associated IRS bill. Furthermore, when you raid your IRA or 401(k) early, the money you withdraw is no longer invested. That could cost you in the long run. Say you withdraw $2,400 at age 35 to fix your car but don't retire until 65. If your portfolio gives you an 8% yearly return, which is a bit below the stock market's average, you could end up losing out on over $24,000 due to forgone earnings. That's a much bigger deal than retiring w...

JasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday confirmed the termination of a 2018 consent order against Wells Fargo ( WFC ). Under the 2018 enforcement action, the bank was required to demonstrate improvements to its governance and risk management program and complete two third-party reviews of the improvements. Also, the regulator had imposed an asset cap, which was removed in 2025. The consent order was placed on the company in punishment for the fake-account scandal and other deceptive sales practices that came to light in 2016. The banking giant is said to have pursued a business strategy that prioritizes growth without ensuring appropriate management of all key risks. Wells Fargo did not have an effective firm-wide risk management framework in place that covered all key risks. In response, the board had said it will restrict growth of the firm until WFC sufficiently improves its governance and controls. The 2018 consent order was the only remaining consent order against the San Francisco-based bank.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction & Investment Thesis When I last wrote on Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE: VEEV ) in December, I downgraded my rating to a “hold” after management pointed to a slowdown in revenue growth and margin contraction in Q4. Not only that, what was deeply concerning to me was that their path to $6B in revenue would come at a substantial cost of 1000 basis points of margin contraction, associated with their investments in Veeva AI, that they pointed out during their Investor Day . Since the time of my last writing, the stock is down 16% (as of the close on 03/05), driven by the SaaSpocalypse meltdown that has affected all software stocks since the start of 2026. In this case, I believe that the drawdown in Veeva was warranted. Let me explain. The company just reported their Q4 FY26 earnings , and while revenue did not slow down as was originally guided, along with better-than-expected non-GAAP operating margins, their forward guidance is concerning. For FY27, management is projecting revenue growth to slow by 300 basis points to 13%, along with a 90 basis point margin contraction. So, even if the stock jumped after earnings by 11% or so, I wouldn't trust it. During the earnings call , management discussed that the path to industry-specific AI could take longer, especially given the regulated nature of the Life Sciences industry. At the same time, they also reiterated that the system of record will not be replaced by Agentic AI, as they span the industry’s most critical functions and datasets. However, without a clear path of monetization from Veeva AI, I expect Veeva stock to remain pressured. As a result, I will continue to remain cautious and rate the stock a “hold” at current levels. Unfortunately, after staying fairly resilient until the start of November, the stock lost over 25% after its Q3 FY26 earnings , where management pointed to a slowdown in revenue growth and margin contraction in Q4.

1. The licence fee no longer covers all those consuming the BBC The BBC put one stark statistic up in lights: 94% of people in the UK use BBC services each month, but fewer than 80% of households contribute to the licence fee. The way viewers now watch on streaming services and catch-up players has caused confusion, making the licence fee rules appear outdated. Although anyone watching live TV on a streaming service or digital platform should pay the licence fee, this is not widely known or properly enforced. 2. It continued to rule out subscriptions or adverts For all the talk of radicalism, the BBC’s document knocked down the obvious alternatives to the licence fee. It supported a big efficiency drive and greater commercialisation, both of which it is already pushing – not least because of serious inflation in the television industry. But it said switching to a subscription model would create “a very different BBC”, not based on providing content for everyone, but for those paying subs – and it would exclude those on low pay and many older people. Local services and educational content – which may not drive subscriptions – would be threatened. It said an ad-funded model, meanwhile, would draw diminishing revenue away from other broadcasters and damage the perception of its editorial independence. The BBC noted some countries guaranteed universal funding through taxation or a household levy but these measures have been ruled out by ministers. 3. YouTube alone is not the answer The rise of YouTube has led to calls for the BBC to use the platform to raise cash by placing more of its content there, taking a share of the advertising in the process. But although it plans to do more on YouTube, it says there are “limited revenues on offer from video sharing platforms”. The economics may work for creators, but not for the BBC. 4. A reformed, simpler licence fee system looks a likely compromise The BBC ddid not say how the licence fee could or should be modified to close t...

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Commercial Metals Co. (Symbol: CMC) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making Commercial Metals Co. an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Thursday, shares of CMC entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $68.83 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Commercial Metals Co., the RSI reading has hit 29.6 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 47.8. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, CMC's recent annualized dividend of 0.72/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 1.01% based upon the recent $71.22 share price. A bullish investor could look at CMC's 29.6 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on CMC is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Galeanu Mihai Scott Chronert, U.S. equity strategist at Citi, says the U.S. stock market ( SP500 ), ( COMP:IND ), ( DJI ) is emerging as a safe haven for investors as the conflict in Iran continues to unsettle global markets. The strategist argues that despite recent trends favoring international diversification, the turmoil is redirecting capital back toward American equities. “The U.S. actually comes through as a bit of a safe haven as we continue to go through the tumultuous events there,” Chronert said in an interview with CNBC. He noted that ETF flows into international markets had reached their highest levels in recent memory as investors sought to broaden exposure away from U.S. growth stocks ( SPYG ), ( VOOG ), ( IVW ), particularly those tied to the AI sector. However, the conflict has shifted that calculus. Chronert explained that the “rush to broaden one’s exposure away from the U.S. growth cohort” had gained momentum as markets moved from viewing AI as a productivity driver to a potential disruptor. Now, with geopolitical uncertainty mounting, the U.S. looks comparatively more attractive relative to energy impacts affecting other regions of the globe. The strategist pointed to America’s energy position as a key advantage. The U.S. is “in a little bit better position, something closer to energy independent, if you will,” Chronert said, contrasting the domestic situation with the energy vulnerabilities faced by other global markets. Regarding inflation and corporate margins, Chronert acknowledged it remains “early innings” and that outcomes will depend on how high oil prices ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) climb and how long they stay elevated. While he views the current situation as likely still “net margin additive,” he conceded that short-term inflation concerns are legitimate. Looking further ahead, Chronert maintained that AI-driven productivity gains remain the more significant long-term economic factor. He argued that “deflation risk is probably the bigger...

John Daghita, a government contractor accused of stealing more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from the US Marshals Service, was arrested late Wednesday on the island of Saint Martin in the Caribbean. The “FBI will continue working 24/7 with our international partners to track down, apprehend, and bring to justice those who attempt to defraud American taxpayers, no matter where they try to hide,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement posted on X.

It’s responsible for safeguarding and, in some cases, selling seized digital assets.

Officials initially believed the transfer was routine, the person said. It was later determined that more than $46 million had been taken without authorization. The person said Daghita left the country after the funds were moved and that the FBI had been tracking him since the...
