特朗普政府周五表示,已制定一项计划,为霍尔木兹海峡的船只提供最高达200亿美元的战争险。“我们相信,我们的再保险计划将确保石油、汽油、液化天然气、航空燃料和化肥得以通过霍尔木兹海峡,再次流向世界,”美国国际发展金融公司(U.S· International Development Finance Corporation)首席执行官本·布莱克说。 目前,数千艘船只滞留在海峡两端。和平时期,全球约五分...
特朗普政府周五表示,已制定一项计划,为霍尔木兹海峡的船只提供最高达200亿美元的战争险。“我们相信,我们的再保险计划将确保石油、汽油、液化天然气、航空燃料和化肥得以通过霍尔木兹海峡,再次流向世界,”美国国际发展金融公司(U.S· International Development Finance Corporation)首席执行官本·布莱克说。 目前,数千艘船只滞留在海峡两端。和平时期,全球约五分之一的石油供应每日都要经过这条水道。无法运出的石油正不断装满储油罐,迫使生产商削减产量。自战争开始以来,油价一路飙升。本周,全球基准布伦特原油期货上涨了27%。 美国国际发展金融公司发布此项公告的三天前,美国总统特朗普曾表示,联邦政府将为海湾地区的能源贸易提供“政治风险保险”和金融安全保障。该公告并未提及特朗普提出的、必要时由美国海军为商船护航的方案。许多船只虽然能够获得保险,但因担心遭到攻击而拒绝穿越该海峡。自冲突开始以来,伊朗已多次在该战略水道上袭击船只。 这家联邦投资机构表示,该计划初期将重点覆盖船体、机械和货船,并将与美国中央司令部进行协调。 责任编辑:李桐

President Donald Trump demanded Iran capitulate in the war’s seventh day, suggesting a longer timeframe for the conflict even amid energy-market tumult and worries about whether the US has the military stockpiles to carry on the fight indefinitely. Trump called for “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” and noted a plan for the US and its allies to select a “GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s).” Hours later, he hosted defense industry executives at the White House to underscore the need to step up production of critical weapons systems. “They have agreed to quadruple Production of the ‘Exquisite Class’ Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity,” Trump posted on social media after the meeting, referring to the most expensive US hardware. He repeated that the US has “a virtually unlimited supply” of medium- and upper-medium grade munitions. The White House also pushed back on worries around surging energy prices. US crude futures ended the week above $90 a barrel — more than $20 above last Friday — and notched the biggest weekly percentage gain on record in data going back to the 1980s. Brent crude settled above $92 a barrel after both benchmarks touched the highest levels in more than two years during the session. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cited “tangible actions” to ease what she said was a predicted spike, including Trump’s pledge to provide insurance to cargo vessels in the region and even US Navy escorts if needed. She also suggested in a Fox News interview that “drilling expeditiously at home” and tapping newfound markets in Venezuela would help calm markets, while National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told Bloomberg Television the administration has “ many, many ” tools to address the surge in oil prices. US prices at the pump rose Friday to the highest since September 2024. Oil traders are warning $100 could be on the horizon sooner rather than later as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains at ...

Emma Raducanu enjoyed a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Anastasia Zakharova to reach the last 32 in Indian Wells. Raducanu arrived at the WTA 1000 tournament on a three-match losing streak and eager to rediscover form after her January split from coach Francisco Roig. With old ally Mark Petchey again in the corner of the British No 1 on an ad-hoc basis, Raducanu eased past qualifier Zakharova at the BNP Paribas Open. An ace in Raducanu’s opening service game was a sign of things to come. The world No 24 followed up with an immediate break against Zakharova before taking a 3-0 lead. Zakharova got on the board in the next service game but Raducanu sent down another ace before she broke again to earn approval from the onlooking Petchey. The first set was wrapped up in 32 minutes and Raducanu claimed a break in the third game of the second set. With her ball-striking too strong for Zakharova to handle, she continued to exert her dominance in the first-round contest. A slight wobble occurred during the eighth game with Raducanu forced to rally from 15-40 down, but she fought back admirably. Even though Zakharova broke when Raducanu had been set to serve for the match, the 23-year-old regrouped and secured victory in the next game to make a strong start to the tournament.

(RTTNews) - Stocks moved sharply lower during trading on Friday, adding to the losses posted in the previous session. With the steep losses on the day, the Dow and the Nasdaq dropped to their lowest closing levels in over three months and the S&P 500 hit a two-month closing low. The major averages all finished the day firmly in negative territory. The Nasdaq plunged 361.31 points or 1.6 percent to 22,387.68, the S&P 500 tumbled 90.69 points or 1.3 percent to 6,740.02 and the Dow slumped 453.19 points or 1.0 percent to 47,501.55. The sell-off on Wall Street came amid an extended surge by the price of crude oil, with U.S. crude oil futures soaring above $90 a barrel. Crude oil has skyrocketed over the past week as the U.S.-Iran conflict spreads across the Middle East, leading to concerns about a global energy crisis. As the Middle East conflict entered its seventh day, Israel intensified air strikes on Iran, while the U.S. said its attacks on Iran are going to "surge dramatically." President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that there would be no deal with Iran except "unconditional surrender." "After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before," Trump said. Trump previously said the U.S. wants to be involved in the process of choosing the person who is going to lead Iran into the future. Negative sentiment was also generated in reaction to a closely watched Labor Department report showing U.S. unemployment unexpectedly decreased in the month of February. The report said non-farm payroll employment slumped by 92,000 jobs in February after jumping by a downwardly revised 126,000 jobs in January. Economists had expected employment to increase by 60,000 jobs compared to the addition of 130,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month. T...

FARGO, N.D., March 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NI Holdings, Inc. (“NI Holdings,” or the “Company,” NASDAQ: NODK) announced today results for the year ended December 31, 2025. Summary of Year-End 2025 Results (All comparisons vs. continuing operations for the year-end 2024, unless noted otherwise) Direct written premiums were $54.1 million for the quarter, down 26% compared to the prior year quarter, and $289.8 million for the full year, down 15.3% compared to the prior year. The declines in both periods were primarily driven by the strategic decision to reduce written premiums in the Non-Standard Auto segment. This was partially offset by growth in the Home and Farm segment from new business, rate increases, and higher property values in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, though results in South Dakota were tempered by lower retention rates. Net earned premiums of $58.2 million, down 18.9% compared to prior year quarter, and full year net earned premiums of $270.7 million, down 12.7% compared to prior year. Combined ratio was 109.6% for the quarter, up 29.6 points compared to the prior year quarter, driven by unfavorable prior year reserve development in the Non-Standard Auto segment, lower net earned premiums in Non-Standard Auto following the strategic decision to exit Illinois, South Dakota, and Arizona, as well as increased severity on liability claims and related current year reserve strengthening in the Private Passenger Auto segment. Combined ratio was 109.9% for full year 2025, up 9.2 points compared to the prior year, primarily driven by unfavorable prior year development on liability loss reserves and lower net earned premiums in the Non-Standard Auto segment. Results in the Home and Farm segment were adversely affected by the historic second-quarter catastrophe event in North Dakota, which exceeded the Company’s $20 million reinsurance retention and triggered related reinstatement premiums, partially offset by favorable weather experience in South...

Rasi Bhadramani/iStock via Getty Images Consensus Expectations - Near The 2% Target The U.S. BLS is set to release the February CPI inflation report on March 11th. The consensus expectations are: The core CPI to increase by 0.2% MoM, which would be less than 0.3% MoM in January, and keep the annual core CPI unchanged at 2.5%, and The headline CPI inflation is to increase by 0.2% MoM, unchanged from January; however, due to base effects, this would push the annual CPI down from 2.5% to 2.4%. Thus, practically, based on these expectations, CPI inflation is very near the Fed's 2% target. Note, CPI inflation is generally around 50 bpt higher than the Fed's preferred PCE inflation measure. Trading Economics Other Inflation Measures Disagree However, other official inflation measures show a different picture. The PPI inflation has been actually heating up. Below is the chart of the annual Producer Prices Final Demand Less Foods, Energy, and Trade Services. This measure of PPI is at 3.4%, and it has been rising since June 2025, with the spike in October 2025, which is still in progress. This is likely due to tariffs. Trading Economics Below is the chart of the Core PCE Price Index Annual Change, and this is the Fed's preferred inflation measure. The core PCE is at 3%, with the spike in December 2025. Note, the core PCE is supposed to be at 2%. Trading Economics Thus, a cooling CPI inflation is not consistent with other official measures of inflation. Note, CPI inflation is heavily influenced by shelter inflation (rent), which has been falling, and that could be the difference. Based on the chart below, the national average rent was $1,626 per month, which is an increase of 0.4% over the last year - the lowest increase since 2016. Rents are falling as the vacancy rate is rising, currently at 8.6%, the highest since 2016. This is likely to continue due to slower population growth given the immigration policy, in addition to an increase in multifamily housing construction. Ap...

(RTTNews) - Microsoft has confirmed that its gaming division is developing a next-generation Xbox console, currently code-named Project Helix, signaling a new phase for the company's gaming hardware strategy. According to Microsoft, the upcoming console will focus on leading performance while introducing deeper integration between Xbox and PC gaming. The device is expected to support both Xbox titles and PC games, marking a shift from previous Xbox consoles that primarily ran games designed specifically for the platform. While details about Project Helix remain limited, Microsoft indicated that more information could be revealed during the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The announcement comes as Microsoft's gaming business faces challenges. The company reported a 9 percent decline in gaming revenue and a 32 percent drop in hardware revenue in its latest earnings report. However, Microsoft continues to invest heavily in the gaming sector, highlighted by its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023 and a strong lineup of upcoming titles, including Fable expected in 2026.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) is reallocating resources from its premium Model S and Model X lines toward production of its humanoid Optimus robot as part of a broader push into artificial general intelligence. Regulatory and legal pressures on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self Driving systems are intensifying, with authorities underscoring that the technology still requires continuous driver attention. At Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory, union IG Metall did not secure a majority in the works council election, affecting how employee representation is structured at the site. For you as an investor, these moves indicate Tesla is positioning itself from a pure electric vehicle maker to a broader robotics and AI company while still operating under the scrutiny that comes with automated driving systems. The combination of robot development, AGI ambitions, and high profile driver assistance technologies places Tesla at the intersection of hardware, software, and regulation. In the future, the balance between capital and talent devoted to Optimus and AGI versus cars, batteries, and charging could influence how you think about Tesla’s risk profile and peer group. At the same time, regulatory outcomes on Autopilot and Full Self Driving, as well as how labor relations evolve in Europe, may shape Tesla’s cost structure, product rollout priorities, and operational flexibility.

Former world 100m champion Fred Kerley has been banned for two years for anti-doping whereabouts failures. A tribunal found Kerley was "negligent and, to a certain extent, reckless" in not adhering to anti-doping regulations, after the American recorded three whereabouts failures between 11 May and 6 December 2024. Kerley was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) in August last year and missed September's World Championships in Tokyo. The 30-year-old's period of ineligibility will run until 11 August 2027 and his competitive results between 6 December 2024 and 12 August 2025 have been disqualified, including prize money, prizes and titles. Kerley has also been ordered to pay World Athletics £3,000 in legal fees and other expenses. The World Anti-Doping Code states an athlete cannot miss three anti-doping tests and/or filing failures within a 12-month period. The AIU said a Disciplinary and Appeals Tribunal did not consider a fourth alleged whereabouts failure by Kerley on 7 December, having already determined he committed a violation based on the first three.
