Echoes of Liz Truss as Badenoch blusters and blunders through series of short interviews, saving the worst for almost last It was the sort of day that every politician dreads.

Echoes of Liz Truss as Badenoch blusters and blunders through series of short interviews, saving the worst for almost last It was the sort of day that every politician dreads. One where you can’t not say and do something. The pressure to come up with the right words. The knowledge that even if you do find the right words, they still won’t be enough. Nothing anyone can say can mitigate the horror of the latest antisemitic attacks in north London on Wednesday. You can promise more money for security. You can proscribe terrorist organisations. You can insist that this is not who we are as a country. But all that must sound hollow to British Jews. They’ve heard all this before and nothing has changed. Continue reading...

US President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on September 5, 2025. Mandel Ngan | Afp | Getty Images President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order as soon as Thursday to create a new type of retirement account for workers who don't currently have access to a 401(k) or another workplace plan. Trump initially floated the idea of creating the accounts, which would come with a federal matching contribution of up to $1,000, during his State of the Union address in February. Roughly 56 million Americans lack access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan at work, according to 2025 research from the Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent public policy nonprofit. Trump's plan, first reported by Semafor, will be integrated with the Saver's Match, a provision from 2022 legislation known as Secure 2.0, which goes into effect starting in tax year 2027. Under those rules, single taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $20,000 (or joint filers making up to $40,000), qualify for a government match worth 50% of up to a $2,000 contribution to a qualified retirement account, for a maximum match of $1,000 a year. Single filers with annual incomes between $20,000 and $35,000 qualify for reduced contributions. In 2025, the Morningstar model of retirement outcomes projected that Americans eligible for the match would receive a 12% boost to their wealth in retirement. This is a developing story.

Gas prices are displayed at a Mobil gas station as the moon rises on March 30, 2026 in Pasadena, California. Mario Tama | Getty Images California gasoline prices hit $6 per gallon on Thursday, a 30% increase since the U.S. and Israel launched the war against Iran in late February. Drivers in California are paying the most in the nation at $6.01 per gallon on average, according to data from AAA . Prices in the Golden State are at the highest level since October 2023, the data shows. Diesel, meanwhile, cost about $7.50 per gallon on average in California on Thursday, a 47% increasse since the war broke out on Feb. 28. Diesel is essential for the economy because the fuel is used by trucks and trains to deliver all the goods that consumers buy. Gasoline prices nationwide surged 27 cents over the past week as oil prices spiked. Drivers paid $4.30 per gallon on average across the U.S. Thursday, compared to $4.03 a week ago. Prices at the pump eased for a couple weeks as oil prices fell on the hope that the U.S. and Iran would reach a deal to end the war. But fuels costs started rising after it became clear that Iran was not reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil export corridors in the world.

(This is The Best Stocks in the Market , brought to you by Josh Brown and Sean Russo of Ritholtz Wealth Management.) Josh — What do you do when you catch a breakout perfectly? It doesn't happen every time but it does happen a lot with the stocks we cover in this column. We haven't done a little sermon on this yet so today we're going back a couple of weeks to look at two recent names we wrote up, Flex Ltd (FLEX) and Starbucks (SBUX) . We'll bring you up to speed with what's happened since our call. We're also going to let you in on our thinking about riding a winner once a stock has already broken loose above prior resistance. Some traders are immediately taking profits. I get it. That's not how I roll, but I know many successful market players who are quick to scalp something and move on to the next. Others would use the opportunity of a breakout to add even more to a position. We don't cover position sizing in this column because every one of you is managing a different portfolio. Some of you are highly concentrated while others are diversified. That's beyond our purview but I mention it because adding on strength or lightening up after a breakout to "play with the house's money" is also an option. My preference is usually to roll up my stops and stay long when a stock breaks out. I'd rather risk the reversal than miss the meat of the move. I like to tighten up my risk management and let it ride. The potential upside is obvious — I may end up never selling as the stock travels significantly higher. The downside of this mentality, though, is also fairly obvious. I could very well end up turning a gain into a loss or a breakeven, leaving money on the table. Life is about trade-offs and this is the trade-off I've learned I can live with. Buying a stock at $10, selling at $12 and watching it run to $70 is not something I can live with. So I do what I can to extend the holding period so long as the stock is in an uptrend and above major support. You may not feel the wa...

Euro-area finance ministers will discuss the challenges that Anthropic PBC ’s Mythos AI model poses as officials struggle to get clarity on the new tool’s powers. The topic will come up during a discussion with banking supervisors on Monday, a senior EU official said. Mythos, which Anthropic says is powerful enough to enable dangerous cyberattacks, has sparked global fears about digital breaches and the stability of the financial system. Such worries featured prominently at last week’s International Monetary Fund spring meetings in Washington. Regulators, central bankers and corporate executives are seeking to gain more insight into Mythos, which hasn’t been widely released. There are concerns that financial systems outside the US — including Europe — are at a disadvantage because they have limited access. The US has opposed Anthropic’s plan to expand access to the artificial intelligence technology.

Ministers are expected to return to the topic after Monday’s discussion once they gather more information, the official added.
