With warmth and heartfelt passion, and a quintet of outstanding performances from young actors shot in looming closeup for so much of the time, Clio Barnard has created an absorbing and moving social-realist picture. It’s a film whose mix of poignancy, defiance and contaminated euphoria stayed with me hours after the closing credits. It is about five young people from Birmingham who grew up together, reaching the end of their 20s, sensing a looming crisis and on the verge of a tragedy that is mysteriously growing from within their own increasing disparity. It is adapted by screenwriter Enda Walsh from the novel of the same name by Kieran Goddard, the statically rendered pentaptych of five consciousnesses in Goddard’s book being transformed into a fraught and dynamic home town drama with a sense memory of Fellini’s I Vitelloni. We are introduced to our five musketeers at a boozy and weed-and-coke fuelled birthday party where the good times are laced with a suspicion that the party is actually now over. First among equals is Rian, played by Joe Cole, the one from their friend-group who has made something of himself. Using an inheritance from his late father, Rian hit the jackpot dealing in stock warrants online and while his mates are living modestly or in squalor, he has now bought a chilly and soulless designer flat in London where he dates a beautiful young woman that his friends nickname “Kate Middleton”. He isn’t really happy there and is only too glad to get back to the home turf. Rian’s success has sent eddies of unease and self-examination through everyone else. Conor (Daryl McCormack) is the son of a builder who took pride in his work, and has been inspired by Rian’s triumph to set up a building firm in which he has persuaded Rian to be the chief investor; he is a hardworking guy and an expectant father but clearly careworn by the responsibility. Shiv (Lola Petticrew) is a smart and caring mother to two little girls, perfectly happy with her stay-at-home exis...

Shares of Chinese aviation and aerospace parts supplier Shanghai Top Numerical Control Technology ended 80 per cent higher on its debut in Hong Kong on Wednesday, as investors continue to bet on the commercial aerospace sector. Top Numerical Control opened at HK$37 per share on its first day of trading, representing a 40.2 per cent premium to the offer price of HK$26.39. It reached as high as HK$48.40 in afternoon trade, before closing at HK$47.50. The Shanghai-based company issued 65.33 million shares in Hong Kong, raising a total of HK$1.72 billion (US$219.6 million). Advertisement During the bookbuilding phase in mid-May, Top Numerical Control received applications from 344,049 retail subscribers, marking an oversubscription rate of 3,764 times in the public tranche. The single-lot success rate was just 8 per cent. The institutional segment attracted 104 international applications, representing an oversubscription rate of 29 times. Advertisement This strong interest was in line with an intensifying investor focus on global and domestic aerospace tech since late 2025. US reusable rocket giant SpaceX was reported to have targeted a record breaking US$75 billion from its initial public offering (IPO) slated for mid-June, while around 10 Chinese aerospace enterprises are concurrently pushing forward with listing preparations on mainland and Hong Kong bourses.

Andrii Yalanskyi/iStock via Getty Images The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is scrutinizing a spike in oil futures trading that happened just before President Donald Trump postponed strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure in March, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. More than $800M worth of oil futures were traded in a matter of minutes, right before Trump postponed the strikes on March 23. The CFTC is looking into whether an insider with prior knowledge of Trump's decision traded on that information or leaked it to someone who could do so. At least five firms posted gains of $5M or more on crude futures they traded on March 23, as measured by average prices adjusted for volume, according to trading records viewed by WSJ . Some of the companies approached by the CFTC said their trading decisions were based on a Semafor report , which was published minutes before Trump's announcement. The CFTC is interested in at least three firms as part of its inquiry, but it's unclear why. To note, these firms haven't been accused of wrongdoing. Investment firm Qube Research & Technologies earned about $5M of adjusted gains on those trades, Forza Fund earned around $10M, and TotalEnergies' ( TTE ) trading arm Totsa recorded ~$200,000 profit. Qube COO Stuart Brown declined to comment on any regulatory probes, but told WSJ that the firm's "investment decisions are model-driven, not a directional trade driven by a specific geopolitical comment/update/outcome." TotalEnergies ( TTE ) said it is "not aware of any CFTC investigation into Totsa's crude-oil trading activities." A representative for Metabit Trading, a Chinese firm linked to Forza Fund, said it hadn't been contacted by the CFTC. The regulator is also scrutinizing other suspicious trades regarding Iran-related announcements in April and May, sources told WSJ .

As conflict in the Middle East sends marine insurance costs surging, Hong Kong has an opening to prove that it is more than a port city by becoming a trusted centre for risk pricing, legal certainty and maritime resilience. When tensions rise in the Middle East, the first signs of trouble in global shipping do not always appear at sea. Often, they appear in the insurance market. Premiums jump. Underwriters retreat. Shipowners rethink routes . Long before a vessel is struck, the cost of moving goods already changes. That is why Hong Kong’s efforts to build a war-risk insurance mechanism for shipping deserve more attention than they have received. On the surface, this looks like a specialist insurance story. In reality, it points to a larger question: who has the institutional capacity to keep trade moving when private markets turn defensive? Advertisement That question matters especially for China, the world’s largest trading nation, and for Hong Kong, which has spent years trying to define what remains distinctive about its role as an international shipping centre. For a long time, shipping competition was understood mainly in physical terms: bigger ports , larger fleets, faster turnaround, more efficient logistics. Those things still matter, but they are no longer enough. In an age of geopolitical shocks, shipping is also a business of risk pricing, legal certainty, dispute resolution and market trust. The places that matter most are not just those that can move cargo, but those that can keep cargo moving when the political climate worsens. Advertisement
