The modification applies to an existing contract for the E-7A Rapid Prototype Airborne Mission Segment and raises the total face value of the contract to $4.9B, the War Department said. Work under the contract will be performed primarily in Seattle, as well as in Oklahoma City; Huntsville, Ala.; and Heath, Ohio; it is expected to be completed by August 2032. The E-7A aircraft, which aims to detect, identify, and track airborne targets while providing battle management and command-and-control functions, is based on the Boeing ( BA ) 737 platform and already serves with several air forces, including Australia and the U.K. More on Boeing Boeing And Airbus Deliveries Weakness Show Critical Challenge: What's Going On?

US Treasuries advanced and bond traders nearly priced in one Federal Reserve interest-rate cut after data revealed a more discerning consumer, sticky inflation and weaker growth. The increases on Friday pushed yields on two-year notes , the most sensitive to the Fed’s policy changes, lower by about three basis points to 3.85%. The 10-year’s yield was two basis points lower to 4.25%. Interest-rate swaps tied to the Fed’s policy meeting dates showed about 24 basis points of easing priced for this year, up from 18 basis points late on Thursday. The moves helped to pare weekly losses in the $31 trillion bond market driven by mounting concern that war in the Middle East will ignite inflation and keep the Fed on hold for longer. A sustained rise in yields has nearly erased the Treasury market’s gain for the year through Thursday’s close. “Markets tend to swing sharply around events, and we tend to see them overshoot the likely policy,” said Molly Brooks , US rates strategist at TD Securities. “So we would expect the markets to correct and start to price in more odds of cuts this year.” Before this week’s spike in oil, the market had retained at least one quarter-point cut — and as recently as late February, traders had fully priced in at least 50 basis points of easing, or two quarter-point cuts.

Armed groups appear to have increased their firepower as they carry out raids deep in Hamas-controlled territory Pro-Israel Palestinian militia have launched repeated raids, clandestine assassination and abduction operations deep inside parts of Gaza controlled by Hamas in recent months, with new operations launched recently despite the outbreak of conflict with Iran. The militia, which are all based in eastern parts of Gaza that are under Israeli control after a ceasefire came into effect in October, have received significant logistic support from Israel since last year but appear to have increased their firepower, allowing new and more aggressive attacks in recent weeks.

Hospitals in England have been urged to block the implementation of software developed by controversial tech firm Palantir by a coalition of patient, healthcare, worker, trade union, and consumer rights groups. Their call to action follows a move by the UK government to ask hospitals to sign a memorandum of understanding to start using elements of Palantir's federated data platform (FDP), designed to bring together and manage existing NHS data into a single framework, from next month. In an email to hospitals – seen by the BMJ and Guardian – groups including Amnesty International, the Good Law Project, Privacy International, Just Treatment, Corporate Watch, the United Tech and Allied Workers Union, and health justice activist charity Medact have told hospitals that implanting the FDP is not mandatory, and local health bodies can both raise concerns and decline to implement the platform. They also point out that NHS England can choose not to extend the £330 million national contract with Palantir beyond the initial three-year contract, and have urged it to terminate the contract when it expires next February. Medact has also published a briefing on the coalition's concerns about the use of Palantir tech in NHS data systems, which maintains that it could damage public trust in the health service, has inadequate clarity on data management and privacy safeguards, and could also be used to enable "data-driven state abuses of power." It points out, for example, that ICE in the US is using Palantir software and data to track people down in its immigration crackdown. The Reform UK party – currently leading polls of voter intention in the UK – has indicated it wants to set up a Deportation Command that would integrate and use data from multiple government departments to identify and deport "illegal migrants," but has denied it will use the FDP in this way. Palantir software is also being used by UK police forces and the Ministry of Defence. According to Medact, more than 50,...

Veon Ltd. , a Dubai-based telecommunications company, expects the Middle East conflict to raise costs, even as its expanding range of services — including digital offerings — should help cushion the impact. “Energy-price increases will have an impact on every industry, and we are also an energy consumer,” Chief Executive Officer Kaan Terzioglu said in an interview Friday. If oil prices remain in the $90-to-$120 a barrel range, the resulting inflation could be as much as 9% for the business, he said. Still, Veon expects to absorb some of that pressure as it sells more services beyond traditional connectivity, including financial, entertainment, healthcare and education products, according to Terzioglu. “This gives us the ability to provide more services to our customers and offset such pressures through additional revenue streams,” he said. Veon is no stranger to navigating geopolitical shocks. The group sold its Russian unit VimpelCom in October 2023, completing its exit from the country following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In late 2024, Veon moved its headquarters from Amsterdam to Dubai as it refocused on markets across Central and South Asia and the Middle East. The company also owns Ukrainian operator Kyivstar PJSC. The escalating war between the US, Israel and Iran is stoking volatility in global energy markets and threatening to exacerbate inflation through higher fuel costs. Brent crude settled above $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since August 2022. Terzioglu said he expects oil prices to remain elevated for 12 months.

The company doesn’t plan to shut down its Dubai office and remains committed to the region, he added. Veon has about 80 staff in Dubai, with 56 employees currently in the city, according to the company. Last year, the number of use...

MicroStockHub/iStock via Getty Images By Bert Colijn , Chief Economist, Netherlands While the European Commission is making progress in implementing the Industrial Accelerator Act, the conflict in the Middle East is currently clearly serving as an industrial decelerator, as higher energy prices and broader supply chain disruptions are putting the brakes on the much-anticipated manufacturing recovery. And today’s release of January production data already shows that recent optimism among manufacturers has not exactly been justified by production data. The decline of -1.5% in January follows a drop of -0.6% in December. While production had been elevated compared to 2024 levels for much of last year, the January level of industrial production is now the lowest since December 2024. It has to be said that a large drop in Irish production, whose data is notoriously volatile, contributed significantly to the decline in January, but the misery was shared more broadly as Germany, Italy and Spain all noted declines compared to December. Stronger production hopes hinge on the expectation that increased public investment in defence and infrastructure will boost manufacturing output. But the risk is that another prolonged surge in energy costs will shatter hopes of a recovery in energy-intensive industries, which have already been struggling since the previous shock in energy prices in 2021-22. While other sectors have managed to thrive despite the headwinds from the previous shock, this could still be enough of a drag on manufacturing to pour cold water on hopes of a manufacturing recovery. So just as optimism had returned to manufacturing, geopolitics is clearly putting downside risk back on the table.

Over the past five years, Amazon (AMZN 0.87%) has been the worst-perforing stock among the "Magnificent Seven." Amazon has had an average annualized return of 6.9% over the past five years, which is far below the other magnificent megacaps. The next closest is Microsoft with an average five-year return of 11.5%. Even the S&P 500 has been a better investment than Amazon over that stretch, with an average five-year annual return of 11.7%, as of March 10. In 2026, Amazon's struggles have continued, as the stock is down 7% year to date. The other Magnificent Seven stocks are also negative, but only Tesla, down 16%, and Microsoft, down 10%, have performed worse. Amazon's more recent problems stem from losing market share in the cloud computing space, tariffs negatively impacting its e-commerce platform, and what investors see as overspending on AI. Earlier this year, Amazon announced that it was allocating $200 billion for capital expenditures, a record for the company and a whopping 50% more than last year. Most of it will be on AI infrastructure, which has given investors pause. The concern is that Amazon is already spending too much on AI and it's losing market share, so why spend more? But I think the Amazon backlash has created a phenomenal buying opportunity, for one major reason. As cheap as Amazon gets The primary reason that Amazon stands out as a buy right now is its valuation. Other than last April, right after the tariffs went into effect, Amazon's valuation hasn't been this low in almost two decades, dating back to late 2008 during the financial crisis. Amazon stock trades at around 29 times earnings and 26 times forward earnings. That is about the S&P 500 average right now. For a stock as dynamic as Amazon, a market leader in two of its businesses, the valuation is too cheap to ignore. As for the reasons for the dip, I think they are overblown. Part of it is investor backlash over overvalued large-cap stocks, which Amazon had been. Part of it is backlash ag...
