Crisis is yet another reminder that reset in industrial policy is needed that includes one for energy that is more strategic The cost of energy for British business was a crisis even before the Iran war sent prices higher: the UK already had the highest electricity prices for industry among G7 countries. Now comes the next whack. How big will it be? Projections from the energy consultancy Cornwall Insight are steep for both electricity and gas. For the former, it thinks increases of 10%-30% are on the cards; for the latter 25%-80%. The ranges are wide because, unlike with households, there are no price caps for businesses. Contracts are a negotiation, more or less, between supplier and customer. Continue reading...

The downloadable versions of Nintendo's first-party Switch games have always cost the same amount to buy, despite the costs of manufacturing and shipping physical releases. This was still true when the Switch 2 launched last year, despite persistent rumors and misinformation to the contrary . But that's finally, definitively changing later this year. Nintendo announced today that beginning in May and for new game releases going forward, the physical releases of new Switch 2-exclusive first-party games will cost more than the digital versions of the same game. That will start with the May 21 release of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book , which will cost $60 in Nintendo's online store but $70 for a physical copy. "Nintendo games offer the same experiences whether in packaged or digital format, and this change simply reflects the different costs associated with producing and distributing each format and offers players more choice in how they can buy and play Nintendo games," reads the company's brief announcement about the change . Nintendo notes that retailers are free to charge what they want for physical and digital games, but aside from sales or other promotions most tend to follow Nintendo's guidance on pricing.

RHJ/iStock via Getty Images Pan American Silver ( PAAS ) up 3.4% in Wednesday's trading after unveiling a new preliminary economic assessment for its La Colorada mine in Mexico outlining a $1.9B expansion plan that would transform the site into one of the world's largest silver operations. The PEA calls for building a new 15K metric tons/day processing plant while continuing to operate the existing vein mine, and the company projects average silver production of 15.8M oz/year during the first five years of full operation, starting in 2034, with an additional 3.3M oz from existing operations. The project targets a 37-year mine life following plant construction, processing an estimated 154.6M metric tons of mineral resources from skarn deposits, the company said. Initial capital for the La Colorada skarn project under a base case scenario is now forecast at US$1.9B, with an after-tax net present value of $2.6B and an internal rate of return of 17%, Pan American ( PAAS ) said, compared to a 2023 version of the project that estimated the cost at ~$2.8B with a $2.2B NPV. La Colorado accounts for more than 25% of Pan American's ( PAAS ) projected FY 2026 silver output, with production expected at 5.8M-6.25M oz of silver at an all-in sustaining cost of $33.25-$35.75/oz.

JasonDoiy/iStock via Getty Images ACRES Commercial Realty ( ACR ) has dipped 21% from its 52-week high to open up a substantial 37% discount to book value as the mREIT maintains a capital return plan that saw management buy back $10 million worth of its common shares during its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter. ACR does not currently pay a dividend, but its aggressive stock buyback program has driven a sustained reduction in its common stock outstanding. This has formed the primary lever of shareholder returns since the mREIT suspended dividends in 2019. ACR's weighted average number of common shares outstanding as of the end of its fourth quarter stood at 7,412,911 , a dip of around 6.4% from its year-ago comp against a broader trend of reduction. ACR does not make a good investment for income investors, as it's an mREIT without a dividend yield. The long-term bullish play here is that of a significant discount to book value from a growing portfolio of credit backed by U.S. multifamily properties. Data by YCharts The mREIT's CRE loan portfolio was valued at $1.83 billion as of the end of its fourth quarter, with this position primarily in U.S. multifamily credit at 81.9% of loans held for investment at amortized cost. This was up sequentially from 74.6% in the third quarter and was followed by office properties, which formed 12.7% of loans. Hence, ACR has pushed through a reduction in its office allocation versus the third quarter, when this formed 18.3% of loans. I last covered ACR in December, highlighting the disparity between the book value and common shares. This divergence has since expanded, with ACR's common shares down 20% since then, while its book value is up $0.38 per share sequentially. ACR's cadence with originations saw $540 million in new loans created during the fourth quarter, offset by $100 million in loan payoffs for around $440 million in net originations. This was a material jump from the third quarter, where $99 million of new originations were ent...

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Stocks climbed Wednesday on optimism that tensions between the United States and Iran will continue to ease. The U.S. reportedly offered Tehran a 15-point peace plan, but it's facing some resistance on the Iranian side. Oil dropped a few dollars per barrel — global benchmark Brent crude was trading around $102 — while bond yields fell, too. Elsewhere in geopolitics, the White House said President Donald Trump plans to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in China in May. When the two parties meet, we expect a sizable order of Boeing jets to finally be announced. It would be Club name Boeing's first major order from China in almost a decade, Reuters reported earlier this month . Every sector but energy traded higher on Wednesday, with materials, consumer discretionary, and industrials leading the way. Health care also outperformed thanks to a strong move in drug stocks like Club name Bristol Myers Squibb , which rallied over 2.5%. In technology, the red-hot memory chip stocks dropped after Google announced a new compression technique that its researchers claim can reduce the memory costs for large language models and vector search engines. For Google, this innovation could be an incremental positive for the company if it allows them to save on compute costs. Honeywell shares rose more than 2% after it announced it signed what it called a "groundbreaking supplier framework" deal with the U.S. Department of Defense. Honeywell is making a $500 million multiyear investment to upgrade its production capacity of critical defense technologies, which include navigation systems, missile actuators, and electronic warfare solutions. The agreement should provide a nice boost to Honeywell Aerospace's defense business, which will become an even greater focus to investors after it's spun off into a standalone compan...

Toucanstudios | E+ | Getty Images Single women have long outpaced single men as homebuyers — and they may be pulling ahead financially as well. Among first-time buyers, single women have a median income of $73,000 compared with $66,400 for single men, according to the National Association of Realtors' 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers , which analyzed transactions made between July 2024 and June 2025. The prior year's report recorded median income of $73,100 for women and $87,500 for men, which continued a long-term trend of male buyers outearning their female counterparts. While it's uncertain whether the flip is the start of a new trend, this is the first time the organization has found that the income disparity favors women, said Jessica Lautz, deputy chief economist and vice president of research for NAR. More from Women and Wealth: More women pursue skilled trades — here's what some said about their experience Older women may inherit most of $54 trillion in spousal 'great wealth transfer' Couples often miss this 'overlooked tax break' for retirement savers: CFP Women and the K-shaped economy: Lower pay, affordability issues reduce spending Poor coordination can cost couples an average $14,000 in retirement wealth 93% of women are stressed about money. Building a cash reserve can help How to prepare for the ‘survivor’s penalty’ before a spouse passes The shift comes as single women account for 25% of first-time homebuyers, compared with 10% for single men. In 1985, those figures were 11% and 9%, respectively, according to the research. Among all homebuyers, 21% are single women and 9% are single men. "I think [single women] understand how homeownership is a wealth-building tool. They make sacrifices," Lautz said. Women still lag behind men when it comes to pay Nevertheless, men still out-earn women overall, according to the Pew Research Center . In 2024, women earned an average of 85% of what men earned, according to the organization. In 2003, that figure ...

jittawit.21/iStock via Getty Images By Peter C. Earle Private credit is emerging as a key force tightening financial conditions. That feedback loop amplifies macro headwinds. The strains emerging in the roughly $3 trillion private credit market are no longer isolated anecdotes; they are coalescing into a coherent signal of tightening financial conditions at precisely the wrong moment for the broader economy. As discussed previously , a growing list of developments has unsettled investors. Now, on top of those at Blue Owl Capital, Apollo Global Management, and Morgan Stanley’s North Haven Private Income Fund , JPMorgan Chase has begun marking down private credit loans . Concerns have gone international. These are not systemic failures, but they do mark the transition of private credit from a benign, yield-enhancing allocation into a market experiencing its first meaningful credit cycle. The sector, which expanded rapidly after the Global Financial Crisis as banks retreated from riskier lending, now faces the test of higher rates, weaker borrower fundamentals, and more discerning capital. It is critical to mention ( or reiterate ) that this is not shaping up as a 2008-style solvency crisis. The private credit market is small, leverage is generally lower, and there is little evidence of the kind of widespread fraud or securitization opacity that defined the subprime mortgage crisis. But that comparison risks missing a more relevant dynamic: private credit is a tightening mechanism. Its problems do not need to trigger bank failures to matter. Instead, they transmit stress through funding channels, into refinancing constraints, and ultimately into valuation pressure. Banks’ exposure — variously estimated from under $100 billion to potentially near $1 trillion globally when commitments are included — creates a feedback loop whereby losses or even perceived risks in private credit lead to tighter lending standards broadly. The nature of that tightening is not to remain con...
