Hong Kong narrowly escaped the worst of Super Typhoon Ragasa last year when it passed within 100km rather than making a direct hit. The city weathered the storm. But the damage caused by the typhoon, with winds reaching 220km an hour at its centre, was significant. There were storm surges and floods. More than 100 people were injured and over 1,200 trees felled. The typhoon, which prompted Observatory to issue the No 10 signal, brought the city to a standstill for nearly two days and costs were...

美國總統特朗普與國家主席習近平在北京完成會談。特朗普形容雙方達成「了不起的貿易協議，對兩國都有利」，並稱中美關係是「全球最具影響力的經濟關係」。BBC分析指，整場峰會仍以溫和言辭與象徵性場面為主，缺乏具體的經濟成果或重大貿易突破。 ▍ 波音飛機採購率比預期低 股價下跌超過4% 儘管峰會氣氛友好，雙方並未簽署大型貿易協議或結構性協議。特朗普在接受《霍士新聞》訪問時表示，中國已同意訂購200架波音噴射客機，是近十年來首次購買美國製造的商用客機。不過，這個數字低於許多分析師預期，波音股價在消息公布後下跌超過4%。 去年10月達成的貿易休戰協議仍然存疑。該協議下，華盛頓暫停對中國商品大幅加徵關稅，北京則放鬆對稀土出口的限制。美國貿易代表格里爾表示，尚未決定是否將休戰延長至11月之後。白宮透露，兩國領袖同意設立「貿易委員會」，以便在不重新談判關稅的情況下管理雙邊經貿關係。 ▍ 習近平重申台灣問題紅線 特朗普與習近平舉行了超過兩小時的閉門會談，習近平對台灣問題發出嚴正警告，指若台灣問題「處理不好，兩國就會碰撞甚至衝突，將整個中美關係推向十分危險的境地」。這是峰會中最清晰的一次立場表述。與過去一年將台灣視為眾多摩擦點之一不同，中方的信息顯示，台灣正日益被定位為中美貿易關係的「條件」，而非單純的議題。 ▍ 科技仍是最大分歧 AI與晶片管制未鬆動 科技領域仍然是中美之間的最大鴻溝。美國對先進半導體及晶片製造設備的出口管制持續生效，旨在限制中國獲取前沿人工智能能力。格里爾表示，這些管制並非會談的主要討論內容。北京則繼續推動獲取更多先進技術，同時批評美方試圖遏制中國的工業發展。 人工智能原預期會成為峰會的重點議題，但在首日的中方官方通報中完全未有提及。美國財長貝森特透露，雙方代表團正在討論人工智能的「安全護欄」，並強調美國維持對中國在AI領域的領先地位「至關重要」。

Woke Judge Admits "Taking A Chance" On Violent Criminal... Who Then Went On Shooting Spree Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, A Massachusetts judge openly confessed in court that she knew she was rolling the dice by giving a light sentence to a career criminal with a 20-year rap sheet packed with violence, guns, and assault convictions. She did it anyway. Now Tyler Brown is back in custody after opening fire with 50 to 60 rounds on a busy Cambridge roadway, critically injuring two innocent drivers. The shocking audio, released this week, comes straight from Brown’s 2020 sentencing hearing after he fired 13 rounds at Boston police officers. Prosecutors had pushed for 10 to 12 years behind bars. The judge gave him just five. He walked out on parole in March 2025. In the newly surfaced clip shared on X, the judge tells Brown directly: “I do realize I’m kind of taking a chance on you — when people stand up, police, experienced police officers, experienced probation officers, and they tell me this guy is a danger to the community.” She went on to acknowledge she could not predict the future but was still willing to release him, saying she hoped her “intuitions” would prove correct and that Brown would not “endanger other peoples’ lives as you have in the past.” NEW audio from the judge who released Cambridge gunman Tyler Brown 🚨 This audio is INSANE. The judge says she has been advised by experienced officers how dangerous he is but she’s ignoring them In 2020, Tyler Brown fired on police officers and only got 5 years. He has a 20… pic.twitter.com/sOlw4IghHP — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) May 15, 2026 Brown’s record at the time already spanned two decades and included violence against both police and civilians, firearms offenses, drugs, assault with a dangerous weapon, a 2014 stabbing, and an armed robbery in Michigan. He was on probation when he shot at officers in 2020. Yet the judge — identified as Janet Sanders — chose leniency over the unanimous warn...

Sansert Sangsakawrat/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Globant S.A. ( GLOB ) and the IT consultant service sector, including Accenture ( ACN ) and Endava ( DAVA ), have been brutally de-rated, far worse than I imagined, as growth slowed to a crawl and AI threatened its existence. However, two factors are beginning to evolve that may stabilize valuation and lead to partial recuperation. Globant’s Q1 '26 results point to this stabilization, and the market is gradually accepting it, but existential risk has not disappeared, and the sector’s re-rating needs more evidence. Q1 '26 Results: Green Shoots The rally post Q1 '26 report is due to three factors that alleviate investor concerns. The first is that GLOB beat the top end of their guidance, breaking with missed guidance in the last few quarters. This suggests that existing customer contacts and new ones are under less pricing pressure. The second factor is that margins continue to be resilient despite flat growth and the need to pivot to an AI solutions company. Finally, the company has generated significant free cash flow, again despite the sector downturn, and has gone into net cash while implementing a $75m share buyback program. Add to this guidance the suggested flat revenue for 2026 and investors' confidence that the worst may be over while the shares are at under 7x P/E. Created by author with data from Capital IQ Created by author with data from Capital IQ Created by author with data from Capital IQ AI Deflation To Be Offset By Higher Volume As I first wrote in the Accenture report in August 2025 , initially, the dry spell in IT service contracts was attributed to a corporate budget reorganization due to the rapid introduction and advancement of AI. Companies needed to stop and think about how and where to implement AI and its associated costs/benefits. Quarterly results during 2025 were generally disappointing, with anemic growth, and guidance was not optimistic. However, now we may be seeing the impact o...

CHOLTICHA KRANJUMNONG/iStock via Getty Images Market Recap Since my original article where I dove into some of the more attractive holdings within SCHD, the ETF has returned approximately 3.5%, while the overall market as measured by SPY, has a return of around 9%, gaining some ground on SCHD. Conversely, year-to-date SCHD still has a strong lead on the broad market, as SCHD is up almost 16%, since January 1st, while virtually all of SPY's return came over the last month as SPY is up close 10%. Despite the uneasiness surrounding the war with Iran, and more specifically how and when it will end, the market has rebounded from its lows earlier this year. However SCHD continues to outperform, with 30 of the holdings having a better year-to-date return than SPY, and of those 30, 22 of them have a return above 15% and they are listed below. Best Year-To-Date Holdings in SCHD 1. Texas Instruments ( TXN ) +74.73% 2. HF Sinclair Corp. ( DINO ) +48.15 3. APA Corporation ( APA ) +47.73% 4. SLB N.V. ( SLB ) +38.68% 5. Archer Daniels Midland ( ADM ) +37.87% 6. EOG Resources ( EOG ) +27.98% 7. Altria ( MO ) +26.35% 8. MSC Industrial Direct* ( MSM ) +25.74% 9. ONEOK, Inc. ( OKE ) +24.12 10. ConocoPhillips ( COP ) +23.99% 11. Target ( TGT ) +23.70% 12. Devon Energy ( DVN ) +23.58% 13. Coterra Energy ( CTRA ) +22.41% 14. Watsco, Inc. ( WSO ) +20.75% 15. Murphy Oil Corp ( MUR ) +19.88% 16. Chevron ( CVX ) +19.72% 17. UnitedHealth Group* ( UNH ) +18.64% 18. Verizon Communications* ( VZ ) +18.15% 19. The Coca Cola Company* ( KO ) +16.39% 20. Qualcomm* ( QCOM ) +15.67% 21. 1st Source Corp. ( SRCE ) +15.65% 22. Oxford Industries ( OXM ) +15.24% What's surprising to me about this list, is that five of the companies didn't appear on my list in April where the cutoff was at least 10%, indicating they've been on an a very strong run over the past month. Those five new companies are MSC Industrial Direct, UnitedHealth Group, Verizon Communications, The Coca Cola Company, and Qualcomm. However...

Xbox just allcapsmaxxed: Meet XBOX. This isn't a joke; Microsoft appears to be actually rebranding Xbox to XBOX. Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX, and the company has now renamed its X account. Curiously, the Threads and Bluesky accounts for Xbox haven't been renamed yet, but if Microsoft is going ahead with a rebranding then I expect those will change soon. I asked Microsoft to comment on this potential Xbox rebranding and the company simply referred me to Sharma's post. The use of all caps for Xbox is a return to original for … Read the full story at The Verge.

NVDA Stock Slips Toward $200 Pre-Q1 As Delayed China Shipments Raise Profit Concerns FXLeaders

Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) brought in former Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol to turn around the struggling coffee chain, and nearly two years later, his effort seems to be bearing fruit. Comparable sales are surging after Niccol's initiative appears to be paying off, and profit margins are expanding as well. Now, Starbucks appears to be taking the next step on its turnaround journey, announcing that it will lay off 300 corporate employees in the U.S., in its third round of job cuts since Niccol took over.

In this article CBRS Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT CNBC's Jim Cramer said Friday he is growing increasingly concerned about signs of speculative excess in the IPO market. The " Mad Money " host warned he didn't want to "end up with another Cerebras," arguing that the highly anticipated debut of Elon Musk's SpaceX could fuel another wave of speculative buying. SpaceX is expected to go public in June and could release its prospectus as soon as next week , CNBC reported Thursday. However, after the blockbuster debut of AI chipmaker Cerebras Systems on Thursday, Cramer said demand for shares of Elon Musk's rocket company could be even more intense. Cramer noted that various media reports suggest the offering could value SpaceX — home to Starlink satellite internet, social-media site X, and the Grok chatbot — between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion . While he said he understands investor enthusiasm around Musk and the company's businesses, he warned the stock could quickly become detached from fundamentals if underwriters release too few shares to the public. "If SpaceX issues just a sliver of stock...this company could have a $5 trillion valuation," he said. "SpaceX would create a bubble unto its own," he said. Cramer warned that it could be a precedent-setting event for other high-profile artificial intelligence companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic , which are considering public offerings of their own. A wave of massive technology IPOs could begin weighing on the overall market as investors sell existing holdings to raise cash to buy the new issues, Cramer said. "Remember what I always say," he said. "The stock market, like any other market, is all about supply and demand. Too much supply and the market breaks down." Still, Cramer said the outcome will largely depend on how underwriters structure the deal, urging them to avoid engineering the type of explosive first-day pop that fueled speculative excess during the dot-com era. "Hope the underwriters...
