Emmanuel Macron ’s nominee to run the Bank of France was confirmed by parliament, avoiding a political setback for the president and relieving uncertainty for the European Central Bank as it weighs interest-rate increases. In a joint vote of the two finance committees of parliament, 58 out of 110 legislators opposed the appointment of Emmanuel Moulin , falling short of the three-fifths threshold required to block his nomination. Before the ballot, far-right, far-left and Socialist lawmakers had warned they’d seek to scupper the appointment, protesting against Macron’s longtime collaborator assuming a powerful role that will extend for years after the president himself leaves office in 2027. The result indicates that centrists and conservatives more aligned with Macron turned out to avoid what would have been been a stinging rebuke for the president. Even so, opposition to Moulin has put a spotlight on debates over central-bank independence and the process for naming officials who set monetary policy for the 21-nation euro area. The ECB is at a sensitive juncture, with officials deciding whether to raise rates to stave off inflationary pressures from the Iran war, even as such a move risks damaging an already fragile economy. At Wednesday’s committee hearings, Moulin said June’s rate decision hinges on data and the ECB should be particularly attentive to ensuring price expectations remain anchored. But he also flagged concern about the risks higher borrowing costs pose to the economy. “At this stage it’s too soon to say, a detailed analysis of data will be necessary to enlighten the position of the Governing Council of the ECB,” Moulin said. “But it’s essential that without prejudice to its price-stability mandate, the ECB be able to take into account the impact of its decisions on growth in an increasingly volatile environment.” French Socialists Oppose Moulin as Bank of France Head ECB May ‘Have to Do Something’ in June, Nagel Says (Video) Villeroy Exit Sparks Race...

The UK moved to loosen its Russian sanctions in a controversial move aimed at preventing shortages of diesel and jet fuel, as the war in Iran eats into global oil buffers. The move highlights how Britain has become more reliant on fuel imports than other major European nations, and has prompted political backlash over the government’s commitment to support Ukraine The European Union is not currently planning a similar measure, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named discussing non-public information. Advertisement The general licence takes effect on Wednesday with “indefinite duration and shall be periodically reviewed.” The measure, which applies only to diesel and jet fuel, comes as swathes of global oil production remain disrupted by the Iran war , with those products particularly hard hit. Petrol and diesel prices are displayed at a motorway services station near Leigh Delamere in Britain on April 16.

The referee for Manchester United's win over Nottingham Forest last Sunday has not been selected for any match in the final round of Premier League fixtures. Michael Salisbury allowed Matheus Cunha's goal for United to stand, despite Bryan Mbeumo handling the ball in the build-up. Salisbury rejected a video assistant referee (VAR) review to rule out the goal and Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) later admitted that it should have been disallowed. Referees in the English professional game adopt a more lenient approach to handball than other nations, albeit still within the laws. And although referees' boss Howard Webb told Forest that while there could be justifiable reasons to deem it was not handball by Mbeumo, 'football's expectation' would have been for the goal to be disallowed. It was only the 17th time in seven seasons - and the fourth this season - that a referee has rejected the advice of the VAR at the pitchside monitor. Salisbury, who has been in charge of 13 Premier League matches this season, is not part of the officiating team for any of Sunday's 10 games, which all kick off at 16:00 BST. Meanwhile, James Bell has been selected as VAR for Fulham's home game with Newcastle, despite criticism of the decision not to recommend a review of a challenge by Arsenal's Kai Havertz on Burnley's Lesley Ugochukwu on Monday.

Currencies in India and Indonesia edged off record lows after central banks stepped up efforts to stem the losses, while swaps priced a South African interest-rate hike, reflecting the continued heavy pressure on emerging markets. A gauge of emerging stocks slipped 0.3% to trade at a two-week low, with heavyweight South Korean and Taiwanese tech names leading losses after the previous day’s global bond selloff. Samsung Electronics Co. shares slid as much as 4.4% after talks with its labor union broke down ahead of a planned strike on Thursday. A companion emerging currency gauge was marginally higher as the dollar held steady but the currencies of most oil-importing nations stayed under pressure as crude prices held just below $110 a barrel. The Indian rupee fell to a new record low, forcing the central bank to intervene. Investors see the currency’s roughly 7% year-to-date loss extending with some even seeing it falling to 100 per dollar. On Wednesday, the rupee fell close to the 97 mark and some investors see heavier interventions if it falls further. Aside from dollar sales, India has implemented a slew of other measures including raising fuel prices and doubling import taxes on gold and silver. Indonesia, meanwhile, opted for a larger-than-expected interest-rate increase to bolster the rupiah which has repeatedly hit record lows this month. The rupiah firmed after the 50 basis-point rate move which comes after $10 billion of central bank reserves were spent in stabilizing the currency this year. Authorities are also buying back as much as $113 million of government bonds a day to cool rising yields.

V.F. (VFC) reported break-even quarterly earnings per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.02. This compares to a loss of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +100.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of brands such as Vans, North Face and Timberland would post earnings of $0.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.58, delivering a surprise of +34.88%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. V.F., which belongs to the Zacks Textile - Apparel industry, posted revenues of $2.17 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.77%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.14 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. V.F. shares have lost about 7.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.4%. What's Next for V.F.? While V.F. has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

koyu/iStock via Getty Images Since my last Canadian Solar ( CSIQ ) analysis , the stock has gained 16.5% in price. However, there was a point where the price shot from $13.60 to around $35 during the period until now. This is the first time I have covered it since the $13.60 zone. While I was bullish before, I can't help but think this is a little late to invest in Canadian Solar, and better market opportunities are taking my time and attention. First things first , this stock is not a clean compounder, as Q1 showed weak earnings quality, cash burn, and margin fragility. I put the stock as a Hold right now, viewing upside as optionality-based and not a reliable inflection. The deep value zone with higher return probability was previously. For those who need a refresh, CSIQ has two segments, the first being manufacturing of solar modules, cells, battery storage products, U.S. CS PowerTech, and global CSI Solar, and the second being the development, selling, ownership, and servicing of utility-scale solar/storage projects. Q1 Earnings Analysis CSIQ delivered strong headline results at Q1, with revenue at $1.1B and solar shipments at 2.5 GW, above the 2.2-2.4 GW guidance. Storage shipments were 2.1 GWh, above the 1.7-1.9 GWh guidance. Storage was +142% year-over-year, with modules down by 64% year-over-year. However, due to a $93M tariff refund , the ex-refund gross margin was only about 16.5%. Even with the refund, CSIQ lost $32M. EPS was -$0.71, and operating cash flow was also negative at -$209M. This outlook almost gets worse based on Q2 guidance with higher bifurcation. Q2 revenue is expected at $1B-$1.2B, with a gross margin of only 13-15%. That's on modules of 3.1-3.3 GW and storage of 2.8-3.2 GWh. So, in essence, volume is set to improve as margins reset lower. Bankable earnings from the Recurrent Energy segment are also fickle. CSIQ has a 23.7 GWp solar pipeline and 80.6 GWh storage pipeline, but only 1.8 GWp solar and 1.8 GWh storage are under construction; t...

There has been a lot of debate about private credit over the past year. Proponents will contend that these investments can generate above-average fixed-income returns over the long run. However, detractors have argued that the sector poses systemic risk to the global economy and could result in significant capital losses for investors. Here's a closer look at what investors should know about the private credit debate. What is private credit? The private credit market has risen in prominence over the past decade for two reasons. The capital needs of industry have grown as the economy has expanded. However, traditional lenders such as banks and credit unions have retrenched due to increased regulation and more burdensome capital requirements. That has created a large funding gap that alternative capital providers, such as global alternative investment firms and business development companies (BDCs), are filling. "At its core, private credit is simply credit," wrote Brookfield Corporation (BN 1.71%) CEO Bruce Flatt in the global investment firm's first-quarter letter to shareholders. Flatt stated that companies like Brookfield are "providing senior capital to asset owners and businesses, in return for a prioritized fixed return." He noted that while structures slightly differ from those in the public markets, "the underlying principles of underwriting, collateral, and discipline remain unchanged. Credit outcomes have always been driven by what you lend against, how you structure transactions, and the discipline applied, particularly when capital is abundant."

Quantum computing stocks have soared in recent years, and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS 4.57%) is one of the most successful. While volatile, the company's share price is up 3,310% over the last three years (as of May 18). Early D-Wave investors are sitting on incredible returns, but with a $7 billion market cap and just $24.6 million in revenue last year, this company now trades at an extremely high valuation. Is there still a case for investing, or is it too late? The bull case: Record growth and a high-profile acquisition D-Wave may still have light sales numbers given its market cap, but to its credit, those numbers have been growing. Its $24.6 million in revenue for fiscal 2025 was a 179% year-over-year increase. Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was down 81% year over year to $2.9 million. That might seem worrisome, but quantum computing companies tend to have lumpy sales, so you can't learn too much from a single quarter. More important than the top line was D-Wave's bookings for the quarter, which hit a record of $33.4 million. Those bookings, which is how D-Wave refers to future customer orders, exceeded the company's total bookings in fiscal 2024 and 2025 combined.

It acquired Quantum Circuits Inc. for $550 million in a merger that makes D-Wave the only dual-platform quantum company -- one that has annealing and gate-model quantum computers. In addition, D-Wave and two defense companies, Davidson Technologies and Anduril, announced a collaboration. The three will work together on quantum applications for U.S. air and missile defense. Risk factors: Mounting losses and tough competition D-Wave is unprofitable, and its losses are outpacing its revenue growth. Net los...

Samsung Union Authorizes Massive Strike At Memory-Chip Plants After Mediation Talks Collapse Asian equities extended losses for a fourth straight session, with South Korea's benchmark KOSPI falling about 1% as the market priced in the shock of an imminent labor action at Samsung Electronics. A full-scale, 18-day strike involving more than 47,000 workers at the world's largest memory-chip maker is set to begin Thursday, raising the risk of production disruptions across the global semiconductor supply chain, which is already tight due to AI data center buildouts. Samsung Electronics' talks with its largest union collapsed overnight as union negotiators demanded the removal of a bonus cap, allocation of 15% of operating profit to worker bonuses, and that those terms be written into contracts, citing memory-chip maker SK Hynix's 10% profit-sharing arrangement. Samsung negotiators accepted most of the demands , including a proposed 10% operating profit bonus pool and special compensation, but called the union's remaining requests unsustainable. "We deeply regret that the post-mediation process has concluded [without resolution] due to delays in decision-making by the management," Samsung Electronics Labor Union Chairman Choi Seung-ho told reporters at the National Labor Relations Commission in the city of Sejong. "We cannot help but feel disappointed that the mediation ended without the company ultimately reaching a decision." Japan's financial outlet Nikkei Asia reported, " The strike would affect only the company's domestic plants, which are the base of its chipmaking operations ." The collapse in talks comes as Samsung shares surge on record profits, driven by soaring demand for memory chips, even as hyperscalers are set to deploy $700 billion in capex to build AI infrastructure in the US. Demand is also rising globally as the race for AI compute intensifies. TrendForce data show that Samsung is the world's largest memory chipmaker, with a 36% market share in DRAM chi...
