Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po delivered his latest budget on February 25. Over the past decade, under his stewardship, Hong Kong has weathered multiple economic shocks and recently returned to a respectable growth rate of 3.5 per cent . Yet the tasks ahead are formidable: addressing a structural fiscal deficit in the city’s capital account while ensuring sufficient resources for future growth, all against an increasingly volatile and dangerous global backdrop. Article 107 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law requires the government to “follow the principle of keeping the expenditure within the limits of revenues in drawing up its budget, and strive to achieve a fiscal balance”. Chan, however, was not the architect of significant expansions in recurrent public spending. Since the 2010s, successive chief executives have ratcheted up expenditure on services for the elderly as legislators cried out for help for the growing population of seniors. A prominent example is the public transport fare concession scheme for the elderly and other eligible persons, introduced in June 2012. Its cost has surged from an estimated HK$255 million (US$32.5 million) in 2012–13 to around HK$5.5 billion in 2026–27. Advertisement Fiscal pressures were intensified by the package of initiatives for underprivileged groups announced in January 2020 by then chief executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor. Measures such as more generous old-age allowances and lowering the qualifying age for transport concessions to 60 are estimated to have added at least HK$100 billion annually to public expenditure, increasing the government’s long-term fiscal burden. In Hong Kong, as elsewhere, once “ sweeteners ” are introduced, they are difficult to take away. Chan has been criticised for not offering more handouts in this year’s budget. Yet, viewed through the lens of Article 107, resisting renewed calls for expanded benefits was the more responsible course. Advertisement It is also worth noting that the Basic Law does...

Despite its massive run-up in 2025, aviation pioneer Joby Aviation (JOBY 0.47%) has had a terrible start to 2026. Not only are its shares down almost 25% year to date, but they're also actually trading lower than they were five years ago: Expand NYSE : JOBY Joby Aviation Today's Change ( -0.47 %) $ -0.04 Current Price $ 9.56 Key Data Points Market Cap $9.4B Day's Range $ 9.34 - $ 9.75 52wk Range $ 4.96 - $ 20.95 Volume 676K Avg Vol 25M Gross Margin -3006.27 % But sometimes a stock's sharp tumble can be a buying opportunity for clever investors. At a total market cap of $9.6 billion, is Joby a buy now? What Joby does Joby designs and manufactures electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Unlike a helicopter, which uses a single large central rotor powered by liquid fuel, eVTOLs use several smaller rotors powered by an electric battery, much like those on small quadricopter toy drones. The S-4, Joby's flagship design, features six rotors that can individually rotate to provide vertical lift or forward thrust. It's designed to carry up to four passengers and four carry-on bags, plus a pilot, for up to 150 miles at a top speed of 200 mph. The S-4 is still being evaluated for safety by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), so Joby has not yet deployed its fleet commercially in the U.S. However, it expects to begin air taxi service in Dubai this year and is manufacturing about two aircraft per month at production facilities in California and Ohio. A (relative) bargain Joby's share price of less than $10 is trading more than 50% below its 2025 highs, so naturally it looks compellingly priced at first glance. But looks can be deceiving. At its peak, the company was valued at about $17.5 billion, which put its valuation briefly on par with Southwest Airlines, an actual air transportation company with actual flights, bookings, and passengers. Even now, Joby's market cap is higher than that of American Airlines Group, medical helicopter transportation serv...

Jan. 6 plaque honoring police officers is now displayed at the Capitol after a 3-year delay toggle caption Allison Robbert/AP WASHINGTON — Visitors to the U.S. Capitol will now have a visible marker of the siege there on Jan. 6, 2021, and a reminder of the officers who fought and were injured that day. Steps from the Capitol's West Front and where the worst of the fighting occurred, workers quietly have installed a plaque honoring the officers, three years after it was required by law to be erected. The plaque was placed on the Senate side of the hallway because that chamber voted unanimously in January to install it after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had delayed putting it up. Sponsor Message "On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021," the plaque says. "Their heroism will never be forgotten." The Washington Post first reported the installation of the plaque, which was witnessed by a reporter about 4 a.m. EST Saturday. It is the first official marker of the violent day in the Capitol. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., led the recent effort to install it as he commemorated the fifth anniversary of the attack on the Senate floor in January and described his memories of hearing people break into the building. "We owe them eternal gratitude, and this nation is stronger because of them," he said of the officers who were overwhelmed by thousands of President Donald Trump's supporters and eventually pushed them out of the building. The mob of rioters who violently forced their way past police and broke in were echoing Trump's false claims of a stolen election after the Republican was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden. The crowd stopped the congressional certification of Biden's victory for several hours, sent lawmakers running and vandalized the building before police regained control. More than 140 officers from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Poli...

Caterpillar (CAT 3.54%) is an iconic industrial company known for its yellow construction equipment. But as artificial intelligence (AI) spreads rapidly, you need to think about Caterpillar in a broader way. Here's how this industrial giant is adapting and evolving to support the AI revolution. The old Caterpillar is well-positioned Caterpillar is historically known for making construction equipment, like backhoes and dump trucks. The industrial company's giant earth-moving machinery is used to build the world around us, from roads to buildings. The business is somewhat cyclical, as construction tends to ebb and flow with economic activity. However, some positive, big-picture trends are taking shape. For example, companies are increasingly reshoring production. That means new buildings and factories are needed. And artificial intelligence has led to a data center construction boom among companies that are trying to establish themselves as AI technology leaders. If there's a lot of building going on, there's likely to be a huge need for the earth-moving machines for which Caterpillar is best known. There's more to Caterpillar than backhoes In addition to earth-moving equipment, Caterpillar also makes power equipment. It produces engines that can provide power in remote locations or act as backups when grid power goes down. One of the most important industries for Caterpillar's power products is energy. Extracting oil and natural gas, the latter fuel being integral to the proper functioning of the electric energy grid, will be a material market for years to come.

The Iran war exploded further late Saturday as pillars of flame rose above an oil storage facility in Tehran and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised “many surprises” for the next phase of the week-old conflict. Iranian state media confirmed the strike as video footage showed the horizon glowing against the night sky. Israel’s military confirmed new strikes that shook neighbourhoods in Tehran’s east and south but did not immediately comment on targets. It appeared to be the first time a civil industrial facility has been targeted in the war. State media blamed “an attack from the US and the Zionist regime” at the facility that supplies the capital and neighbouring provinces in the north. Advertisement Earlier in the day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologised for attacks on “neighbouring countries”, even as its missiles and drones flew towards Gulf Arab states and hardliners asserted that Tehran’s war strategy would not budge. A rift between more pragmatic politicians looking to de-escalate the war and others committed to battling the United States and Israel could complicate any diplomatic efforts. The sky behind Milad Tower, Iran’s tallest tower, is lit up following air strikes in Tehran on Saturday.

财联社3月8日讯（编辑 牛占林） 据媒体报道，甲骨文与OpenAI已放弃在美国得克萨斯州扩建一座旗舰级人工智能(AI)数据中心的计划。 知情人士称，由于融资谈判长期陷入僵局，同时OpenAI自身需求出现变化，导致该项目最终被搁置。 该项目属于 “星际之门”(Stargate)计划 的一部分，这是一个由软银集团、OpenAI和Oracle共同参与的、总投资高达5000亿美元、总容量达10吉瓦的项目，美国总统特朗普于2025年1月宣布了该项目。 这一计划调整凸显出建设AI数据中心的复杂性。此类项目投资规模通常高达数百亿美元，并需要多方合作伙伴的协调与支持。 去年9月，上述公司曾宣布，计划在德州阿比林现有星际之门核心园区附近，进一步扩建最高600兆瓦的数据中心容量。 不过，一名了解情况的消息人士周五表示，这部分原计划新增的算力容量将改由其他正在建设的数据中心园区来承担。 目前，阿比林的数据中心园区共有8栋建筑，由甲骨文云基础设施部门负责运营，其中两栋已经投入运行。消息人士补充称，OpenAI与甲骨文建设另外4.5吉瓦数据中心容量的整体计划仍在推进中。 近年来，大型科技公司正向数据中心领域投入数千亿美元，以支持ChatGPT、Copilot等生成式人工智能服务，这类应用需要极其庞大的算力资源。 与此同时，甲骨文与OpenAI的谈判破裂为Meta创造了机会。报道称，Meta正考虑从开发商Crusoe手中租赁位于得州阿比林的扩建数据中心项目，英伟达协助促成了相关磋商。 Crusoe在阿比林建设的数据中心是目前最受瞩目的项目之一。甲骨文正在迅速向园区内建筑部署服务器，这些服务器被OpenAI用于训练和运行其AI产品。 目前，甲骨文与OpenAI在星际之门项目中使用的是英伟达的AI芯片。报道称，英伟达介入相关谈判，是为了确保扩建后的数据中心继续使用其芯片产品，而不是竞争对手AMD的产品。 对于上述报道，OpenAI基础设施负责人Sachin Katti在社交媒体上回应称：“我们的旗舰星际之门园区是美国规模最大的AI数据中心园区之一。我们确实考虑过进一步扩建，但最终决定将新增算力部署到其他地点。”

Trump Announces Military Coalition With Latin American Leaders To Eradicate Cartels Authored by Emel Akan and T.J.Muscaro via The Epoch Times, U.S. President Donald Trump on March 7 welcomed his Latin American allies to Florida for a summit focused on addressing regional issues and announced a new military coalition to combat drug cartels in the Western Hemisphere. “On this historic day, we come together to announce a brand new military coalition to eradicate the criminal cartels plaguing our region,” Trump said as he began his remarks at the summit. He said that the new partnership, called the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition, will leverage military resources, including the possible use of missiles, to combat the cartels. The heads of state of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago attended today’s summit, the White House said. The event, called the Shield of the Americas Summit, is taking place at Trump National Doral Club in Miami and is the first such regional meeting to bring together, as the State Department described, “like-minded allies” in the Western Hemisphere. “We’re going to be doing some incredible things together,” Trump told the leaders. All countries in attendance are governed by right-wing or center-right parties, while left-leaning governments such as Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico did not participate in the summit. On March 5, Trump announced that outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will lead the effort as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. During his remarks, Trump criticized previous U.S. administrations for abandoning the Western Hemisphere. “They went so far away. They went to these faraway places where they weren’t even wanted,” Trump said. The Donroe Doctrine In its national security strategy released in November 2025, the Trump administration made the Western Hemisphere its top priority, stating that it was a “great Amer...

The stock market tends to love growth, so investing in hypergrowth stocks could be a good idea -- if you pick the right ones. Let's look at the stocks of five companies growing their revenue by 40% or more to consider buying in 2026. Nvidia Given its size, it still boggles the mind that Nvidia (NVDA 2.94%) is a hypergrowth stock, but that is exactly what it is. The semiconductor company saw its revenue soar 73% last quarter to $68.1 billion. Meanwhile, it just forecast its revenue growth to accelerate to 77% in Q1. With the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom continuing unabated and the company's graphics processing units (GPUs) being the main chips powering AI workloads, the company still has a lot of growth in front of it. Meanwhile, the combination of its CUDA software platform and NVLink interconnect system provides it with a wide moat. Micron Technology As demand for GPUs and other AI chips surges, so does demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is packaged with these chips to optimize their performance. Meanwhile, with HBM requiring upwards of three times the wafer capacity of traditional DRAM (dynamic random access memory), prices for HBM and DRAM in general are skyrocketing due to a lack of supply. Expand NASDAQ : MU Micron Technology Today's Change ( -6.68 %) $ -26.51 Current Price $ 370.54 Key Data Points Market Cap $417B Day's Range $ 367.50 - $ 391.17 52wk Range $ 61.54 - $ 455.50 Volume 1.5M Avg Vol 34M Gross Margin 45.53 % Dividend Yield 0.12 % This is leading to hypergrowth for memory maker Micron Technology (MU 6.68%), which last quarter saw its revenue climb 57%. Just as importantly, its gross margins expanded from 38.4% to 56%, leading to a surge in profits and cash flow. With the company expecting HBM demand to grow at a 40% annual growth rate over the next few years and DRAM prices likely to remain high, the company has a long runway of growth ahead.

Key Points Medicare Advantage could save you money, but that's not a given. Pay attention to total costs and drug formularies. Understand the importance of sticking to your plan's provider network. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › There's a reason some retirees opt to sign up for Medicare Advantage instead of sticking to original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans commonly offer coverage beyond what original Medicare pays for. And Advantage plans also put caps on annual out-of-pocket spending, allowing retirees to better budget for healthcare bills. But if you're inclined to sign up for Medicare Advantage, there are certain mistakes you might fall victim to. Here are three common ones you should make every effort to avoid. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Choosing a plan based on premium costs alone Many Medicare Advantage plans have low monthly premiums. Some even have $0 premiums. If you're a retiree on a fixed income, those low-cost plans can be tempting. But it's a mistake to choose your Medicare Advantage coverage based on premium costs alone. The reason? Premiums are only a piece of the total puzzle. You may also be on the hook for deductibles, co-pays, and other costs that can add up quickly. So when comparing your plan choices, pay attention to total costs -- not just premiums. 2. Not paying attention to provider networks Unlike original Medicare, which lets you see any provider that accepts Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans typically require you to use a specific network of doctors and hospitals. If you go outside of your plan's network, you could face higher costs or, in some cases, no coverage at all. Before you choose a Medicare Advantage plan, verify that your preferred doctors are in network. Otherwise, go in knowing you may nee...

Deep in the Angolan Highlands lurks a rumored new species of elephant. Conservationist and ornithologist Steve Boyes has been searching for this elusive herd for years and the story of his journey is the focus of Ghost Elephants , a haunting, evocative documentary directed by Werner Herzog . The film debuted at the Venice International Film Festival last summer and is now coming to National Geographic and Disney+. It might seem unusual for an ornithologist to embark on a quest to find remote pachyderms, but for Boyes the connection is perfectly natural. He grew up in South Africa and wanted nothing more than to be an explorer, just like the people he read about every month in National Geographic magazine. "I grew up waiting for the magazine to arrive; I wanted the maps," Boyes told Ars. "Those would become my garden, or the field beyond, or the river—wild places imagined and real." Boyes' parents frequently took him and his brother out into the wild, including visits to Botswana and Tanzania. "We used to embed ourselves in baboon troops and walk with impalas," said Boyes, and while his brother feared elephants, Boyes was walking with them from a young age. Ghost Elephants contains some gorgeous underwater footage of elephant feet plodding through the water, and elephants swimming on their sides, behavior that matches Boyes' own experiences with the animals.

MPF｜積金局檢討供款入息水平 擬年中提交建議 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】積金局正檢討強積金強制性供款的最低及最高入息水平，計劃今年年中向政府提交調整建議。 強積金強制性供款的最低及最高入息水平現時分別為7,100元及30,000元，兩個入息水平已有12及13年沒有調整過。積金局目前正展開2022至2026年周期檢討，上月初開始已跟超過30個團體交流，收集到的意見普遍認同兩個入息水平有需要反映物價及工資在過去十多年的升幅。 主席劉麥嘉軒在網誌說，最低和最高入息水平是強制性供款的計算基礎，一旦長時間沒有調整，強積金提供的基本退休保障就會跟生活水平脫節。積金局會整合意見，全面考慮收入數據、基本退休保障需要、勞資雙方的影響和負擔，以及宏觀經濟環境等，擬定方案，目標在今年年中向政府提交報告和建議。 劉麥嘉軒又稱，留意到越來越多僱主及僱員主動供多一點，去年強積金總供款額中，有25%屬自願性供款，較十年前的比例增長近一倍。而可扣稅自願性供款截至去年底，帳戶累計供款額亦達141億元，提醒扣稅額最高可達60,000元。
