Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways’ extended suspension of its Middle Eastern flights is likely to have a limited financial impact on its passenger operations as its expanded European services should help offset losses, aviation experts have said. But they warned of broader effects on its cargo business, given the loss of the Middle East as a historically cost-effective transit route and the upwards pressure on fuel and insurance prices due to the war. The airline announced on Tuesday...

President’s declaration allows officials to tackle fuel hoarding or profiteering, while energy secretary says country will lean more heavily on coal Middle East crisis – live updates Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos has declared a state of “national energy emergency” as a result of the Middle East war , which his administration said posed “an imminent danger of a critically low energy supply”. The state of emergency, which will initially last for a year, was declared just hours after the country’s energy secretary said the Philippines planned to boost the output of its coal-fired power plants to keep electricity costs down as the war wreaks havoc with gas shipments.

AlexSecret/E+ via Getty Images Fund performance Columbia Select Short Corporate Income Fund Institutional Class shares returned 1.03% for the three months ending December 31, 2025. The fund's primary benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. 1–5 Year Corporate Index, returned 1.26% for the same period. Market overview The fourth quarter in the United States was marked by significant economic data collection challenges stemming from the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Running from October 1 to November 12, the 43-day shutdown surpassed the previous record of 35 days in 2018–2019, creating substantial complications for interpreting economic data and assessing the state of the U.S. economy. The fourth quarter was characterized by relatively low volatility in U.S. financial markets, with machinations mostly tied to swings in sentiment related to the artificial intelligence (AI) capital expenditure cycle. Returns were relatively muted. The S&P 500 Index rose 2.66% during the fourth quarter and 17.88% for the full year. The Nasdaq Composite gained 2.57% for the quarter and 20.17% for the year, while the Russell 2000 Index advanced 2.19% for the quarter and 12.81% for the year, On the economic data front, the labor market showed continued cooling during the fourth quarter, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.6% in November (up from 4.4% in September), a four-year high. Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 64,000 in November, following a 105,000 decline in October, the largest decline since the end of 2020. The October payroll contraction was driven primarily by a 162,000 reduction in federal government employment, as workers who accepted the Trump administration's deferred resignation offers officially dropped off payrolls. Stripping out government job losses, private payroll growth remained in a relatively narrow range, recording 52,000 in October and 69,000 in November, with the unemployment rate increase attributable to those DOGE-related federal workforce reductions....
