Costa Rica closed its embassy in Cuba citing attacks on free speech and a deteriorating economy that has made it difficult to find basic goods. The Central American nation also asked Cuba to reciprocate and close its embassy in San Jose, leaving only consulate personnel to handle visas, Costa Rican Foreign Affairs Minister Arnoldo Andre Tinoco told reporters Wednesday. “Closing the embassy is a firm signal of concern, and an invitation for significant change that allows for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations,” Tinoco said. “There have been a significant worsening of restrictions on fundamental freedoms including limits on free speech and peaceful protest.” Tinoco said that worsening economic conditions on the island have made it difficult to find food and medicine and access basic services. US President Donald Trump has stepped up pressure on the island’s communist government, enforcing an oil embargo that has led to nationwide blackouts amid a dwindling fuel supply. Other governments including Guatemala and Honduras said they would stop using Cuban doctors and health care workers , depriving the island of a source of revenue and foreign currency. The Cuban government said it is in talks with Washington amid the mounting pressure.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Written by Nick Ackerman, co-produced by Stanford Chemist The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Opportunity Fund ( ETV ) has delivered strong total returns since our prior update . ETV Performance Since Prior Update (Seeking Alpha) This is a closed-end fund that provides monthly distributions, which are helped funded by its call writing strategy. The fund writes call options against the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Indexes, rolling the trades roughly every two weeks. By writing shorter dated call options, they can adjust the strike price more regularly. That can sometimes help to ease the downside of writing calls, which is the upside cap that they often can run into during strong bull market runs. With this fund, they overwrite their portfolio at nearly 100%. The fund is also currently trading at a relatively attractive discount compared to its historical level, which can make it an appealing time to consider adding to or making an initial investment. At the same time, with equities more broadly near record highs, it is worthwhile to weigh on just how aggressive one may want to get with adding. We've been spoiled for a while now, with not experiencing any significant pullback in equities for almost a year. ETV Basics 1-Year Z-score: -0.31 Discount/Premium: -6.69% Distribution Yield: 8.14% Expense Ratio: 1.08% Leverage: N/A Managed Assets: $1.832 billion Structure: Perpetual ETV's investment objective is to "provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation." To achieve this, the fund will invest "in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and writes call options on one or more U.S. indices on a substantial portion of the value of its common stock portfolio to seek to generate current earnings from the option premium." Performance - Discount And Comparisons The fund had a long stretch of time when it would trade at a premium regularly. Those glory days may not ever come back again, as new call writin...

When US President Donald Trump asked countries to join a global effort against Iran and deploy ships to prise open the Strait of Hormuz, whose near closure has held the global economy in a vice, he was rebuffed by some of America’s closest allies. Using unusually blunt language, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told his country’s lawmakers on Wednesday that he agreed Iran must not be allowed to pose a threat to its neighbours but expressed doubts about the rationale behind the US-Israeli war. “To this day, there is no convincing plan for how this operation could succeed. Washington has not consulted us and did not say European assistance was necessary,” he told lawmakers. Advertisement “We would have advised against pursuing this course of action as it has been pursued. Therefore, we have declared that as long as the war continues, we will not participate in ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, for example, by military means.” European leaders have rejected direct involvement in US-Israeli military operations against Iran, wary of getting sucked into an unpredictable conflict whose aims they do not fully understand and is unpopular with their own citizens. Advertisement In doing so, they are calculating that the benefits of staying on the sidelines outweigh the multiple risks to transatlantic ties that are already under severe strain over anything from the war in Ukraine to tariff disputes.
