Ronnie O'Sullivan has said that restoring his game to its previous level would be the greatest achievement of his career, after winning in the first round of the World Open. The 50-year-old beat Scotland's Adam Muir 5-1 in Yushan, and will progress to the third round after Ishpreet Singh Chadha, his next scheduled opponent, withdrew from the event. The world number 12 took a 3-0 lead in the match before Muir pulled a frame back, but O'Sullivan finished the match with consecutive century breaks. "I got here a week early just to do some practising on my own. I know I haven't played a lot of tournaments, but I've been working because my game has been in such a bad place," said O'Sullivan. "I've decided I really need to attack this now. I have one last throw of the dice really. The last three years have been awful in terms of confidence. I'm trying to work on that now and see if I can get back to delivering the cue freely. "I'll commit to two years to work on it and try to prolong my career. Cueing how I was cueing, there was going to be no longevity in it." O'Sullivan has not won a ranking event on the world tour since January 2024, when he triumphed 10-7 over Judd Trump in the World Grand Prix final. "I've been working harder than I ever have done, it just hasn't been on TV. I'm breaking it down and trying to re-coach myself," O'Sullivan added. "I was saying to a friend the other day that if I manage to get out of this it would be my biggest achievement in snooker. If I can feel how I did six or seven years ago, that would trump anything. "Seven World Championships, eight Masters, this would rank higher than any of those achievements. I'm under no illusions how difficult it will be but I'm not going to retire because something I tried didn't work for me. I'm going to get back to my natural instinct of playing." Elsewhere in the first round, defending champion John Higgins beat Liam Highfield 5-3 and Trump progressed with a 5-1 victory over Mark Lloyd. World champion Z...

zimmytws/iStock via Getty Images Structure Therapeutics ( GPCR ) is ~8% in Monday trading after reporting promising topline phase 2 data on its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, a leniglipron, for obesity. Data was from the 44-week ACCESS II study as well as interim data from the ongoing body composition study and the ACCESS open-label extension study. In ACCESS II, aleniglipron given once daily achieved meaningful placebo-adjusted mean weight loss of 16.3% at the 180 mg dose and 16% at the 240 mg dose at 44 weeks. In the open-label extension study, aleniglipron led to continued weight loss up to 16.2% at the 120 mg dose at 56 weeks. Also, there was no sign of a weight loss plateau in either study. Structure anticipates moving into phase 3 in the second half of the year. More on Structure Therapeutics Structure Therapeutics: The Dark Horse Has Taken The Lead - But Is It Enough?

Lemon_tm Equities ( SP500 ), ( COMP:IND ), ( DJI ) and oil prices ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) have been moving in lockstep with a near-negative 90% intraday correlation since the start of the current conflict, creating significant volatility in both headline indices and market leadership, according to Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist at Piper Sandler. The tight relationship between the two markets means that any sudden moves in oil prices are causing dramatic swings across the stock market. “An oil call is essentially today a stock market call as well,” Kantrowitz said in an interview with CNBC. Crude Oil & the S&P 500 (Seeking Alpha) Rather than getting “overly bearish” or attempting to “aggressively buy the dip,” the strategist recommends investors avoid binary positioning that could leave them exposed to sudden reversals in oil prices. Piper Sandler has instead been recommending a strategy focused on cheaper companies with higher profitability and strong earnings momentum. Kantrowitz noted that this basket approach has been performing well through the recent weeks of market turbulence, providing some stability amid the oil-driven volatility. The strategist is advocating for a sector-neutral stance rather than making specific industry bets. “Less important about what industry you’re in, but more important about how strong your fundamentals are,” Kantrowitz explained, noting that this type of fundamental-focused mix is outperforming within most of the 11 GIC sectors.

Though oil prices have spiked in the aftermath during the Iran war, disruption in energy markets probably won't lead to a major downturn in U.S. stocks, according to Sam Stovall at CFRA Research. The war – now in its third week – has brought about the biggest oil supply disruption in history by closing the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil prices above $100 per barrel. Stocks have sold off amid growing concerns that inflation will rise and economic growth will slow, leading to stagflation . For all that, however, the S & P 500 is still less than 5% below its all-time high reached in late January, when it touched 7,002. If the index were to hit the 5% threshold this week, that would be more than 47 days since it notched the high, which is not on par with historical trends. The S & P 500 has needed, on average, only 28 days to pull back 5% to 9.9%, according to Stovall, the chief investment strategist at CFRA. It has needed an average of 80 days to move into a correction, falling between 10% and 19.9% below a recent high, and an average of 245 days to move into a bear market, falling 20% or more. "Even though history should be viewed as a guide and never as gospel, the S & P 500 has never fallen into a bear market since WWII when it took more than 40 days to slip into a Pullback, possibly giving investors ample time to evaluate the likelihood that the current crisis would require such a selloff," Stovall wrote to clients Monday. So, while investors shouldn't rule out the index possibly suffering a greater decline, the amount of time the index has taken to even approach a pullback now signals that while a correction is "highly likely," a bear market is not, Stovall said. Still, CFRA's Energy Strategy Group projects that crude oil prices will continue to climb and remain above the $100 level. On Monday, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were lower by more than 3% to trade around $95, while Brent crude futures fell 1%, close to $102. Although the risk of faster infl...

Two of the most widely followed U.S. retail REITs, Realty Income O and Simon Property Group SPG, approach real estate investing from very different angles. Realty Income has built its reputation around single-tenant net lease properties and a reliable monthly dividend, while Simon Property focuses on large, high-productivity malls and premium outlets. Both companies generate billions in rental income and have long histories of returning capital to shareholders, but the way they grow and manage risk differs significantly. Realty Income emphasizes stability through long lease structures and necessity-driven tenants. Simon, on the other hand, relies on premium retail destinations that benefit from strong consumer spending and tenant demand. Recent financial results show that both companies remain profitable and operationally strong, yet their balance sheet strategies, growth pipelines and capital allocation plans highlight different long-term opportunities. For investors comparing these two REIT leaders, the decision often comes down to growth potential versus income stability. Examining recent operating data, capital investments and strategic initiatives helps clarify how each company positions itself in today’s retail real estate environment. The Case for Realty Income One of Realty Income’s strongest advantages is the predictability of its rental income. The company owns more than 15,000 properties leased to tenants across retail, industrial and other sectors under long-term net leases. These leases typically pass property expenses to tenants, which helps stabilize margins even during economic fluctuations. Dividend reliability is another key strength. Realty Income increased its monthly dividend again in early 2026, marking its 134th common stock dividend increase since listing. The company has long marketed itself as “The Monthly Dividend Company,” and that reputation remains supported by steady AFFO generation and a diversified tenant base. For income-focused inv...

Key Points SPDR Gold ETF has generated extremely attractive returns in the past year. There are several factors that support the rise in gold prices that could remain in place. History suggests that investors have to be patient during long stretches when gold doesn’t perform as well. 10 stocks we like better than SPDR Gold Shares › Part of the reason to own exchange-traded funds is to get exposure to all the investments you want. Contrary to what many investors believe, ETFs don't just cover stocks. You can find funds that invest in a wide variety of different asset classes. And when those particular asset classes do well, interest in the ETFs that make investments in those areas tends to rise considerably. That's been the case with SPDR Gold ETF (NYSEMKT: GLD), which has benefited greatly from the jump in gold prices over the past year. The yellow metal has been hitting successive new all-time highs, and it still trades above $5,000 per ounce. There's considerable debate, though, about whether the surge in precious metals is sustainable. If past trends bear out, then it's likely that at some point, gold's rise will run out of steam, and prices could correct lower considerably. In this final article of a three-part series for the Voyager Portfolio, you'll get a better sense of where popular opinion stands on the prospects for SPDR Gold ETF and whether it looks like a smart investment at these levels.

Olivier Le Moal/iStock via Getty Images For decades, U.S. Treasuries have been treated as a refuge during periods of market stress. When growth slowed or equities stumbled, investors could rely on long-dated government bonds to provide stability. That assumption has been tested recently. In late 2025, long-term Treasuries weakened even as the Federal Reserve moved toward easier policy, leaving many income-oriented investors caught off guard.¹ Under normal circumstances, falling policy rates support longer-duration bonds. This time, the relationship has broken down. Prices on long bonds declined, translating into negative total returns, despite a friendlier stance from the Fed. Market commentary has increasingly highlighted the unusual combination of policy easing alongside persistent upward pressure on longer-term yields.² Why Long-Term Yields Remain Under Pressure Several forces help explain why this has happened. A heavy wave of new bond issuance, both from U.S. corporates and sovereigns abroad, increased supply at a time when global investors were already reassessing interest rate risk. Signals from Japan pointing toward less accommodative policy added to the pressure, pushing yields higher across major markets.³ In the U.S., inflation has also proven more persistent than many expected, complicating the outlook for long-term rates and keeping term premiums elevated.⁴ At the same time, policymakers themselves have acknowledged uncertainty around where rates ultimately settle. Recent Federal Reserve projections suggest the “neutral” rate may be higher than in past cycles, meaning longer-dated yields could remain elevated even if short-term rates drift lower.⁵ Strategists increasingly argue that the traditional playbook of loading up on ultra-long Treasuries at the first sign of easing may no longer apply in this cycle. Implications for Income-Focused Portfolios Instead, the shape of the yield curve has shifted investor attention toward the middle. Intermediate-term...

Joe Hendrickson/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The shares of fintech company SoFi Technologies, Inc. ( SOFI ) have fallen back considerably, from $30-plus to below $20, so it's high time we had a look at what's going on. FinViz SOFI IR Presentation SoFi's one-stop shop model enables members to borrow, save, spend, invest, and protect, producing a flywheel effect as adding products that create new entry points for adding members (13.7M at the end of FY25), increasing stickiness and cross-selling opportunities. SOFI IR Presentation Some 40% of new products are now opened by existing members, significantly reducing CAC (Customer Acquisition Costs). The company also offers its platform as a B2B solution for other financial institutions, generating stable SaaS revenue. It has a traditional banking business that offers several advantages: It adds members for its Financial Services platform. It provides access to low funding costs. It generates flexibility: SoFi can keep loans on the book or sell them. It requires no branch network. So there are obvious growth drivers, which tend to reinforce one another mutually: New Members. New products. Technology platform (B2B). Lending business. New Members The company continued to produce excellent results in FY25. The future looks equally bright as the company can benefit from two primary technology tailwinds in AI and Blockchain/Crypto. SoFi's members are up 20-fold since 2018, reaching 13.7M members. Product Innovation There were several new product introductions: SoFi Smart Card is an all-in-one card enabling members to earn 5% cash back at grocery stores while purchases are automatically set aside from deposits in real time.

A Los Angeles private school with ties to famous junk bond investor Michael Milken is looking to sell $63 million in municipal bonds to fund a campus expansion. Milken Community School, a coed Jewish day school that’s received backing from the Milken Family Foundation, is looking to refinance debt it took on to purchase a 22-acre site that will help the school triple in size. It’s also planning to use the financing to add new facilities. Private independent schools are increasingly looking to upgrade or build new facilities in order to justify lofty tuition and remain competitive as the population of school-aged kids drops due to a declining US birth rate. Located off Mulholland Drive, the school will charge roughly $57,000 in tuition for students in grades 6 to 12 next year, plus extra costs for trips, MacBooks and school clothing. Read More: US Private Schools’ Tuition Approaches Record $50,000 Proceeds of the bond sale, which is slated for Tuesday, will help create a new upper school on the site and fund interior renovations, according to an investor presentation. The site was previously owned by American Jewish University , and Milken Community School borrowed $40 million to purchase it in 2024. The school was first established in 1984 and became religiously affiliated with Stephen Wise Temple for several years until it became an independent nonprofit school in 2011. Since 1990, MCS has received funding at key junctures in its history from the Milken Family Foundation, which was established by brothers Michael and Lowell Milken. Lowell Milken sits on the school’s board of trustees alongside a roster of executives and entrepreneurs from companies including Mattel Inc. and Rodan & Fields . The school has seen enrollment grow over the past five years to 814 students this year, compared to 719 in 2021-2022. By expanding its campus, the school hopes to increase enrollment to about 900 students. Read More: Elite Prep Schools Unleash Debt Wave Sparked by 2023 Bank Cris...

Hello my names is james,I'm photographer./iStock via Getty Images BHP ( BHP ) won its effort to throw out a contempt of court case in the U.K. over the funding of litigation to try to prevent some Brazilian municipalities suing the company in London over the 2015 Mariana dam collapse, one of Brazil's worst environmental disasters, Reuters reported Monday. The judgment comes as BHP ( BHP ) awaits a decision on whether it can challenge a ruling that it is liable for the disaster at the dam that was owned and operated by BHP and Vale's ( VALE ) Samarco joint venture. Lawyers representing the claimants suing BHP ( BHP ) - which include hundreds of thousands of Brazilians, as well as local governments and businesses - alleged that, by procuring and funding a lawsuit by a Brazilian mining lobby group, the company was in contempt of court by interfering with the administration of justice. Brazil's Court of Appeal is expected to give its ruling on BHP's ( BHP ) application for permission to appeal in the coming weeks; the company has always denied liability and says the case duplicates legal proceedings and reparation and repair programs in Brazil.

(RTTNews) - The Canadian market gained in strength on Monday as soft inflation data and slightly easing concerns about oil supplies triggered strong buying at several counters. Technology, financials, consumer discretionary and real estate stocks were among the prominent gainers. Materials and energy stocks turned in a mixed performance, while several stocks from industrials, utilities and consumer staples sectors posted impressive gains. Despite rising tensions, several tankers supplying oil to Asian countries have been passing through the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to easing concerns about crude supplies. West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures dropped to a low of $92.97 a barrel before recovering to $95.10, still down by about 3.7% from last week's closing price. Meanwhile, investors are looking ahead to the monetary policy announcements from several central banks, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank this week. The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index, which climbed to 32,891.42 earlier in the session, was up 223.93 points or 0.7% at 32,765.86 a few minutes past noon. Statistics Canada showed the headline inflation in Canada slowed to 1.8% in February, from 2.3% a month earlier. Inflation was expected to come in at 1.9%. The Consumer Price Index increased 0.5% in February over the previous month. Canada's annual core inflation fell to an 11-month low of 2.3% in February from 2.6% in January. On a monthly basis, core consumer prices rose 0.4% in February, following a 0.2% increase in January. A separate data from Statistics Canada said car registrations in Canada dropped to 114,410 Units in January from 127,248 Units in December of 2025. A report from Canada Mortgage And Housing Corporation showed housing starts in Canada increased 4.5% in February 2026 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 238,049 units, up from 250,900 in January.
