UAE Pushes For Hormuz Security Force, While Turkey Argues Against Gulf Entry Into War It's one of those things that sounds nice on paper, but when missiles and drones are inbound, no one is going to want to be on a military ship sitting in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz: the United Arab Emirates, which has been among the hardest-impacted Gulf states in Iran's ongoing retaliation, is pressing for a multinational maritime ​taskforce to reopen vital oil transit waterway , the Financial Times reports ‌Friday. The UAE, with a navy that's not really going to strike fear into any enemy (much less the Iranians), says it is willing to participate in a "Hormuz Security Force" to defend the strait and escort shipping. Dozens of countries are being asked to join , sources cited in FT say . Source: Abu Dhabi Ship Building Company And yet for all the public posturing and signing of 'symbolic statements' - not a single country with a strong military has actually stepped up with a concrete offer to provide warships and military assets (other than Israel, which is a direct party to the war). This is despite that for much of the past month of the war immense pressure has been exerted on allies by the Trump administration. But by and large they've shrugged and have said "this is not our war" - despite rising oil prices and global shipping disruption. At the same time, the Mideast/Asia regional country representing NATO's second largest military, Turkey, is reportedly behind the scenes telling the Gulf (GCC) not to join the war . "Turkey is conducting intensive diplomatic efforts to try and prevent Gulf Arab countries from joining the US-Israeli war against Iran , according to people familiar with the matter," Reuters writes separately on Friday. "Ankara has urged Gulf nations to act with restraint, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters," the report continues. "Turkey has stepped up diplomacy, with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visiting Sa...

Дмитрий Ларичев/iStock via Getty Images The markets trade at extreme valuations based on most historical metrics such as a Shiller PE, even after a bit of ' hiccup ' to start 2026 largely due to regional war in the Middle East. That said, equities have maintained these extreme valuations for some time now. Shiller PE Ratio (Multpl) It is important to note equities have had some key tailwinds throughout the past several decades, albeit with some major selloffs from time to time. In today's column, I will not focus on the short to near-term factors that could influence the markets. This article will highlight longer term tailwinds for equities that will likely start to turn to headwinds in the coming years. These trends are getting little mention in the financial press currently. However, they will likely reduce market returns for the foreseeable future. Altcustodian.com It is important to note some of the key factors that have boosted equities for decades. We will start with 1978, when legislation was passed establishing the 401K. This change not only ' democratized ' the market for retail investors, it enabled brought a huge new source of demand for equities. 401Ks accounted for roughly $10 trillion of the $13.9 trillion of defined contribution assets as of the end of 3Q2025. The rest is mainly in IRAs. S&P 500 PE Ratio (Macrotrends) This also set the stage for the huge gains in the markets in the 1980s, 1990s and beyond. 401Ks came into being when the PE on the S&P 500 was in the high single digits. It also was when the Baby Boomers were just coming into their prime earning years. Then in 2006, the Pension Protection Act was passed. Among many things, this legislation made index funds the legal default for automatic contributions. These have been the primary drivers of passive investing moving from just over 5% of assets under management in 1996 to around 60% now. And these funds flow into stocks based on market cap weighting. Which means the top 10 largest stocks ...

Guido Mieth/DigitalVision via Getty Images Any investor would want to get the most return for the allocated capital in any investment proposition. The favourability of an idea, however, is not based only on the possibility of returns, but also takes into account the risk of permanent loss of capital, along with other factors. Global X SuperDividend ETF ( SDIV ) is a high-yield dividend fund, with a yield of ~9% , at a time when risk-free rates are ~4.5%. What makes this fund distinctive is that this return is attributable to 100+ high dividend-paying stocks held by the fund. The dividend payouts are largely a function of the underlying dividends received by the ETF from its holdings. This is also reflected in the ~7% SEC yield — a standardized measure formulated by SEC which reflects the income earned by the fund during the period after deducting the funds expenses to arrive at a net yield. However, while everything appears attractive at first glance, there are structural deficiencies in the fund along with a weak performance track record since inception. The rest of the analysis will focus on explaining these issues and why, despite a significant dividend yield, the fund may still not make much sense for majority of investors. Fund Overview & Performance Evaluation SDIV is a passively managed fund tracking the performance of the Solactive Global SuperDividend Index . The index typically selects around 100 companies from both developed and emerging markets, including equities and REITs, based primarily on their dividend yield and basic liquidity or size filters. The index follows an equal-weighted approach and is rebalanced annually, with periodic reviews largely consisting of dividend-related developments. SDIV has significantly underperformed other dividend focused funds over the last decade. Even leaving aside the comparative performance, on a standalone basis, an investor over the period of time, would have been better off keeping the money in cash rather than d...

Chinese automaker BYD said Friday its annual sales rose to a record $116 billion, outpacing Tesla’s, but its profit fell for the first time since 2021 under pressure from cutthroat competition. BYD, the largest electric vehicle maker, has been expanding into global markets including Latin America and Europe, where auto analysts say profit margins are typically higher than in China. With competition inside China at punishingly high levels, analysts foresee a tough road ahead this year.

Campaigner criticises ‘shortsighted and self-defeating’ decision and says it increases risk to the UK public The polio virus was detected in London sewage for the second time this year, days before ministers withdrew funding for global polio eradication efforts. Its detection reveals the spending cuts to be “shortsighted and self-defeating”, campaigners said. Polio is an extremely infectious viral disease, which typically affects young children under-five. It can cause paralysis by damaging nerves in the spine and base of the brain, and can be life-threatening if it affects muscles used for breathing. Continue reading...

Most elements of a major NASA event this week that laid out spaceflight plans for the coming decade were well received: a Moon base, a focus on less talk and more action, and working with industry to streamline regulations so increased innovation can propel the United States further into space. However, one aspect of this event, named Ignition, has begun to run into serious turbulence. It involves NASA's attempt to navigate a difficult issue with no clear solution: finding a commercial replacement for the aging International Space Station. During the Ignition event on Tuesday, NASA leaders had blunt words for the future of commercial activity in low-Earth orbit. Essentially, they are not confident in the viability of a commercial marketplace for humans there, and the agency's plan to work with private companies to develop independent space stations does not appear to be headed toward success. Plenty of people in the industry share these concerns, but NASA officials have not expressed them out loud before. Read full article Comments

Micron Technology (MU) Shares Rallied More Than Triple In 2025 Yahoo Finance

The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.

sarkophoto/iStock via Getty Images The stock market selloff has seen the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) fall by around 8% from its highs, but it could still get much worse. Higher oil prices ( CO1:COM ) are cascading across risk assets. Tightening Financial Conditions The tightening of financial conditions is evident everywhere. Stocks are falling, cross-currency basis swaps are becoming more negative and credit spreads are widening. None of this is good for risk assets, and it is essentially unwinding the last few years of financial-conditions easing in a matter of weeks. In hindsight, it seems that the decline in oil prices may have been the biggest driver of financial conditions over the past four years. Of course, in the market, it is not obvious in real time, only in hindsight. But unfortunately, continuous learning and a desire to become better are just part of the process. At this point, it is hard to say just how much further financial conditions will tighten, but given that oil is at a price last seen in 2022, when conditions were much tighter, and central banks were hiking rates globally, they probably have further to go. What is interesting is that, historically, oil has typically been seen as an indicator of global growth: rising oil prices were seen as a sign of strong global demand, and falling oil prices were seen as a sign of weak demand. But that seemed to flip when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, when oil became the reason for tighter financial conditions. The same is happening now. LSEG Conditions Aren't That Tight Yet Financial conditions may be tightening as markets expect central banks to respond forcefully to higher inflation and not wait as long as they did in 2022. It may also be a response to the market simply needing more dollars, and as a result, dollar-based hedges are seeing increased demand. Whatever the case, the financial conditions currently do not look overly tighter, just tighter than they were a few weeks ago. TradingView If oil remains in th...

The European Union is facing an increased risk of stagflation due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to EU officials. “It is clear that, in any scenario, we are at real risk of a stagflationary shock,” Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU's commissioner for economy and productivity, told reporters Friday, according to Bloomberg . “The outlook is clouded by profound uncertainty." According to European Commission estimates, the Middle East war could reduce EU output by 0.4% this year if it is relatively short. A longer war could lower output by 0.6% for both 2026 and 2027. Inflation could be pushed as much as 1.5% higher in 2026, depending on the war's duration, Bloomberg noted. Dombrovskis's concerns echo those of EU Governing Council member Boris Vujcic, who said earlier this week that the European Central Bank must be "very agile and vigilant" as the risk of stagflation grows due to the Iran war. Vujcic added that ECB officials will know soon whether rates will need to be raised “We do not see stagflation, but the risk is moving into the direction of stagflation,” Vujcic told Bloomberg in an interview earlier this week. “How far we’ll get in that direction is very difficult to predict.” Vujcic is slated to become vice president of the ECB in June.

Willard/iStock via Getty Images I do not use the phrase “World War 3” lightly. The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran had already entered its fourth week, Iran had rejected the latest U.S. proposal as “ one-sided and unfair ,” and the diplomacy is fragile at best. In moments like this, investors need a calm and rational framework. Fifty years from now, I suspect this period may be remembered as a major turning point in modern history. I am not saying we are destined for an apocalyptic world war, but I do believe the odds of a much larger conflict are no longer remote enough to ignore. Why Is There a Likelihood for World War 3? When I use the phrase “World War 3,” I mean a war that starts in one theater and then pulls in more nations because too many vital interests are exposed at once. The United States and Israel have been striking, Iran has kept retaliating, Gulf states have come under fire, oil traffic through Hormuz has been disrupted , and Western missile demand is now being split across the Middle East and Ukraine. The core terms everyone wants do not fit together. Washington wants Iran to stop enriching uranium, surrender its enriched stockpile, curb its missile program, and cut support for Hezbollah. Tehran wants a formal end to the war, guarantees against future attacks, compensation, recognition of its position on Hormuz, and Lebanon folded into any ceasefire. Israel wants the freedom to keep striking pre-emptively and keep dismantling Iranian military infrastructure. Each side also has a reason to think more fighting could improve its current position. Iran has long treated its nuclear program, missiles, and regional allies as the core of its deterrent after years of sanctions and sabotage. Giving them up would likely be an unacceptable concession. Israel treats those same capabilities as the reason any pause of fighting would be temporary. Washington has tied its diplomacy to rolling back those capabilities, so it cannot easily settle for a ceasefire without those...
