Hong Kong’s securities regulator on Wednesday recommended strengthening the stock exchange’s regulations to better protect investors following a review of 2024 compliance and enforcement cases.

The regulator noted that while thestock exchange “had taken steps to respond to the recommendations made in the previous report published in late 2024”, the latest report “made further recommendations in several areas for improvement identified in this year’s topics”.

Energy stocks can be great for dividend income. The global economy needs oil, gas, and electricity around the clock, so the companies in this space are always humming. However, the energy industry can be highly volatile at times, and the ongoing war in the Middle East is a prime example. Oil and gas prices can fluctuate, as can energy stock share prices. The best plan is usually to focus on the long term, buying into the industry's top names for their proven ability to weather the ups and downs. Here are four outstanding names across the oil and gas, pipeline, and nuclear energy spaces, all of which should continue to deliver dependable income. Each is a potential buy right now. 1. Oneok As one of the leading U.S. pipeline companies, Oneok (OKE 1.41%) transports and stores oil and gas products through more than 60,000 miles of pipelines and infrastructure. Oneok primarily operates in natural gas and natural gas liquids, which management estimates will account for all but 28% of profits in 2026. The stock yields 5% today, a fantastic starting yield, and management targets 3% to 4% annual increases over time. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects domestic natural gas production to rise this year and next, and Wall Street analysts currently estimate that Oneok will grow earnings by nearly 4% annually over the long term, fueling future dividend hikes.

The World Bank has barred PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP network affiliates in Mauritius, Kenya and Rwanda from providing professional services for projects it finances for 21 months. The units engaged in “collusive and fraudulent practices” as part of their work on the construction of a high-voltage electricity transmission line linking Kenya and Ethiopia, the Washington-based lender said in a statement on Wednesday. The three units — including Mauritius-based PwC Africa Associates Ltd. — “obtained confidential procurement information from project officials to improperly influence the award of consultancy services” in 2019, it added. That contract was for the implementation of global accounting standards at the Ethiopia Electric Power Corp. They also attempted to influence the awarding of another contract at EEPC, in which they misrepresented the availability, qualifications and employment status of key experts, while not disclosing all subconsultants. The three PwC subsidiaries “admit culpability for sanctionable practices,” the bank said. As part of the settlement, they will receive a shorter debarment period, and are required to strengthen their internal integrity and compliance programs. Calls to all three for comment went unanswered. The Eastern Electricity Highway Project included the construction of 1,045 kilometers (650 miles) of high-voltage lines between Wolayta in Ethiopia and Suswa in Kenya. The link helped Ethiopia supply over 10% of its neighbor’s power needs in January, according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Italy’s government approved a temporary cut to excise taxes on fuel in a bid to help citizens deal with higher costs caused by the conflict in the Middle East. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday that her cabinet approved the €0.25 ($0.29) per liter reduction in fuel levies, part of a broader package of measures taken as an emergency backstop against soaring energy prices. The measures are worth hundreds of millions of euros, her deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said, and will be in place only for a limited period of time. Fuel prices have shot up globally since the Feb. 28 start of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, putting pressure on consumers. As it cuts taxes, the Italian government is also asking oil companies to limit pump prices, with a cap of €1.90 per liter for diesel, Salvini said. Italy, like other governments, is reviewing alternatives to quickly help consumers weather the sudden price shock. Salvini said the government may also consider taxing the extra profits made by energy companies selling fuel at an higher price. “I hope we won’t have to get to that point,” Salvini said, adding that conversations with energy executives will continue in coming weeks. U.S. Vice President JD Vance and other key officials in Donald Trump’s administration plan to huddle with oil executives Thursday as the White House looks for ways to tame surging fuel prices after the US attack on Iran, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

Representatives from oil companies Eni SpA and Tamoil Italia SpA were among those present at a meeting Salvini held Wednesday with fuel distributors and producers. Rome has intensified monitoring across the energy supply chain amid concerns over the potential for speculative b...

Trump temporarily waives the Jones Act to try to lower gas prices toggle caption Damian Dovarganes/AP The Trump administration has issued a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act in an attempt to lower gasoline prices that have surged since the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran. The Jones Act is a century-old maritime law requiring that goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported on U.S.-built and flagged vessels. Temporarily waiving this act opens up domestic shipping routes to foreign-flagged vessels, possibly reducing shipping costs and speeding up deliveries. Sponsor Message White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted to X: "President Trump's decision to issue a 60-day Jones Act waiver is just another step to mitigate the short-term disruptions to the oil market as the U.S. military continues meeting the objectives of Operation Epic Fury. This action will allow vital resources like oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal to flow freely to U.S. ports for sixty days, and the Administration remains committed to continuing to strengthen our critical supply chains." However, experts say waiving the act will do little to dramatically lower gas prices. Prices at the pump are currently averaging $3.842 a gallon, according to the latest data from the American Automobile Association. That's up about 80 cents from a month ago. This is a developing story and will be updated.

StockByM/iStock via Getty Images Deutsche Bank upgraded SL Green ( SLG ) to Buy from Hold on the expectation of asset sales and refinancings this year, allowing investor focus to return to solid leasing activity and increasing occupancy opportunity this year and next. "With the market seeming to ignore strong on-the-ground leasing fundamentals given AI concerns, we think capital markets are a necessary catalyst," analyst Peter Abramowitz wrote in a note to clients. "Fortunately for SLG, NYC is the deepest and most liquid office market nationally." He expects strong execution of asset sales and refinancings to provide a positive catalyst that will calm investors' qualms about equity value in its portfolio. That should help narrow the stock's 51.4% discount to net asset value. Abramowitz notes that leasing remains “solid” in New York City, having recently announced 832K square feet of leasing through March 9 and its expectation to complete more than 900K square feet of leasing in Q1 2026. The Buy rating clashes with the SA Quant rating of Strong Sell and aligns with the average SA Analyst rating and average Wall Street analyst rating , both at Buy.
