A star of the massively popular Canadian show Heated Rivalry has hit back against an avalanche of hateful online posts, with the hockey drama’s success stirring up a frenzy online. The show about the budding careers and secret relationship of two young male hockey stars – one Canadian, one Russian – over a series of years, has become a global phenomenon. But it has also inspired particularly intense fan engagement across social media, including homophobic and racist comments. Advertisement Lead actor Hudson Williams, who plays Asian-Canadian hockey star Shane Hollander, addressed the issue in a social media post, saying: “Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynist/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind.” “None of us need your hateful ‘love’,” he said on Monday.

The world’s biggest commodity traders are lining up billions of dollars in new credit lines as they position for further price spikes in oil and gas that could trigger giant margin calls. Vitol Group , Trafigura Group and Gunvor Group have all been holding talks with banks to raise new credit lines in recent days as the Iran war sparks dramatic price swings across energy markets. Trafigura on Tuesday announced it had secured a $3 billion credit facility to provide a “liquidity buffer, if required during a period of heightened commodity price volatility.” Vitol is also in talks to raise about $3 billion in credit, while Gunvor is seeking about $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the talks aren’t public. Spokespeople for Vitol and Gunvor declined to comment. Commodity traders use bank credit to finance the cargoes of commodities they ship around the world. When prices rise, the value of those cargoes goes up, increasing their need for financing. Most immediately, sudden jumps in prices can trigger large margin calls on their positions in futures markets. While oil prices have fallen sharply from a high of nearly $120 a barrel on Monday, the traders are preparing for the potential for further surges if the conflict drags on. The move to line up new credit lines is a precautionary measure, the people said, designed to ensure the traders’ finances can withstand any future surge in prices. It may yet prove unnecessary if US President Donald Trump’s prediction that the Iran war would end “ very soon ” proves accurate. Several of the people said the moves showed how the trading houses had learned the lessons of the last major spike in energy prices in 2022, when several major companies found themselves scrambling to secure additional credit facilities even as prices were spiking. Stephan Jansma , Trafigura’s chief financial officer, said in a statement that the new facility “reflects our proactive and conservative approach ...

格隆汇3月11日｜美国众议院议长约翰逊淡化了美国在伊朗军事行动期间汽油价格飙升的担忧，称这只是“暂时的波动”，冲突结束后就会很快解决。当被问及美国人是否能够忍受每加仑汽油价格超过5美元。约翰逊驳斥了这种担忧。约翰逊说：“我认为，此次行动的范围和任务都是经过精心设计的，并受到限制。我认为任务正在完成，几乎已经结束。而且，总司令本人在过去24小时内也表示，行动即将结束，因此汽油价格之后将会进行调整。”他表示，天然气价格上涨的大部分原因可能是“那里的政权”关闭了霍尔木兹海峡，并补充说，“霍尔木兹海峡将会重新开放，这需要几周时间，天然气价格将会回落。”约翰逊继续说道：“所以，这只是美国重回能源主导地位这一非凡趋势中的一个暂时波动。证据不言自明，而且还会继续证明这一点。”

John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., during a State of the Union address in the House Chamber of the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026. Al Drago | Bloomberg | Getty Images Senate Democrats on Tuesday rebutted President Donald Trump 's claims that the war in Iran may soon be over, warning that the U.S. risks getting dragged into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East. The concerns from Democrats who attended a bipartisan classified briefing with military brass on Tuesday stand in stark contrast with the president, who on Monday suggested the U.S. may be nearing the completion of its operation. Trump's statements sent slumping markets soaring and cratered oil prices that had skyrocketed in recent days. The senators were briefed as the Trump administration continues to whipsaw between explanations , goals and timelines for the war that has seen eight U.S. service members killed in action and left the longtime leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, dead. "What I heard is not just concerning, it is disturbing," Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose members were briefed. "I'm not sure what the endgame is or what their plans are. ... And if he does want to put us in a forever war, which it seems like he does, he needs to come out and let us be able to have that discussion." "Do you think because he thinks he waves some magic wand that everything just stops? ... It's not going to stop just because he wishes it to be so," Rosen said. The pessimism from Democrats on an eventual U.S. end for the war it started with Israel against Iran comes as Congress awaits a potential supplemental funding request to finance the offensive. The effort has burned through billions of dollars of U.S. munitions, which will have to be refilled. Some Democrats said they would resist any request for further funding. Democra...

Alistair Berg/DigitalVision via Getty Images There is once again a lot of discussion about covered call strategies with the S&P 500 balancing between the deep abyss (given by the combination of high P/E values and the conflict in Iran) and potential upside revaluations (when looking at expectations, on forward P/E and the normalization of the market). As often happens, the truth lies in the middle; and it is precisely in the middle that, in my opinion, a covered call solution like the iShares U.S. Large Cap Premium Income Active ETF ( BALI ) positions itself well. What is BALI? BALI provides exposure to U.S. large caps while distributing a monthly income stream through a strategy that combines an equity portfolio, options, and futures. This follows the objective declared by management: consistent income with lower volatility than the broader U.S. equity market. BALI: profile (Seeking Alpha) All of this is done actively: BALI does not passively replicate an index. The management includes stock selection, management of the written calls, and an overlay through futures. All of this at an expense ratio of 0.35%, well covered by the distribution of 8.54%, mainly resulting from the premiums of BALI’s strategy (considering a 30-day SEC yield of 1.25%). BALI: dividend grade (Seeking Alpha) Strategy My interpretation? Here BlackRock seems to have tried to create a fund that attempts to build a form of “ synthetic equity income ”: a combination of equity beta, volatility premiums, and futures overlay. And it does so by introducing a sort of three-legged strategy composed of a long portfolio of U.S. large caps, selling call options on a U.S. large cap index such as the S&P 500, and buying futures on a U.S. large cap index to reduce the impact of the cap imposed by the calls. I tried to represent everything again in this illustration (personal, not official). BALI: structure of the strategy (Author) Summarized to the core, the fund sells calls to generate premium income and buy...

Some urea companies in India have shut down plants or moved up annual maintenance after Qatari supplies of liquefied natural gas, a key feedstock, were suspended due to the Iran war. Manufacturers, including top producer Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd. , have either halted some of their facilities or started routine upkeep, according to people familiar with the matter. Restarting a paused plant could take as long as a month, provided LNG supplies resume, they added, asking not to be named because the matter is private. LNG is the primary feedstock for urea production, serving as an energy source and a key input in making the world’s most widely used fertilizer. Gas supplies to India’s fertilizer industry are currently about 70% of their requirement, the people added. Any long-drawn halt to LNG supplies could force India — the world’s top importer of urea — to ramp up purchases, pushing up global prices and hampering government efforts to trim its subsidy burden . Fertilizer demand peaks during the monsoon season that begins in June. Higher farm input costs in the South Asian nation would also have implications for crop prices — and broader inflation — as the country is the world’s biggest grower and exporter of rice and the No. 2 producer of wheat, cotton and sugar. The government has taken measures to ensure that at least 70% of the average LNG needs of fertilizer makers are met while the Middle East conflict snarls supply, a spokesperson for the fertilizer ministry said. Stockpiles of fertilizer, including urea, were about 18 million tons as of March 10, up almost 37% from a year earlier, ministry data show . A senior official at fertilizer maker IFFCO didn’t immediately respond to an email sent after office hours. Thailand , Bangladesh , India and Vietnam are dipping into the spot market to secure near-term LNG supplies, but some tenders for this month — from India’s Gail and GSPC — have gone unawarded, indicating a shortage of immediately available fu...

Micron stock soaring 6% today: should you buy before earnings? Invezz

The proposals to review student loan eligibility for those without A-levels raises an important question about access to higher education (Vice-chancellor calls for review into student loans for those without A-levels, 6 March). As someone who entered university without A-levels, I find the suggestion frustrating. I graduated with a first-class bachelor’s degree in engineering from a former polytechnic and later completed a master’s degree in engineering at a redbrick university. I have also repaid my student loan in full, helped by lower fees, better repayment terms and a means-tested grant towards part of my living expenses. Many students reach higher education through non-traditional routes and go on to succeed academically and professionally. Focusing on restricting loan access risks overlooking that reality. Universities control admissions and can judge whether applicants can succeed on a course. If institutions believe that some students are unlikely to complete degrees, that is an admissions question rather than one that should be addressed by limiting access to student finance. Restricting loans on the basis of traditional qualifications risks closing the door on capable students whose potential emerges later or through alternative pathways. Paul Davies London I am disturbed by Adam Tickell’s comments. For five years, I have been closely involved with Blackpool and Blackburn further education colleges, both of which deliver degree programmes on behalf of regional universities. I have seen first-hand how students from widening participation backgrounds, often older women, have started on degree programmes with no A-levels and not necessarily any level three qualification, but with work experience in the social care sector. These women have been dedicated to learning, have been supported by the colleges and, in many cases, progress from an average 40% grade in their first year to first-class honours grade in their final year. These students go on to become lea...

Key Points Axsome Therapeutics has an exciting late-stage pipeline. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals is looking to dominate a large market with significant unmet needs. 10 stocks we like better than Axsome Therapeutics › Popular companies aren't always great investments, and little-known corporations sometimes are. Those in the latter group may even be underpriced, given that they receive less attention and analyst coverage than their larger, more prominent peers, creating attractive opportunities for investors. Let's consider two under-the-radar stocks that are worth serious consideration for long-term investors: Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AXSM) and Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MDGL). Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Axsome Therapeutics Axsome Therapeutics's stock has more than doubled in value over the past five years. The company owes that growth to solid clinical and commercial progress with its leading candidates, including Auvelity, which is approved to treat depression. Even after its solid run, Axsome's new approvals and label expansions over the next five years could allow it to improve its financial performance significantly and even turn a profit. It is already improving. In 2025, Axsome's revenue increased by 66% to $638.5 million, while its net loss per share of $3.68 was much better than the loss per share of $5.99 reported in 2024. Axsome Therapeutics is going after large, underserved markets where some of its products could generate well over $1 billion in sales. For instance, the company has requested approval for Auvelity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) agitation, an indication where the biotech sector analysts estimate its peak sales could reach $1.5 billion to $3 billion. If that seems too optimistic, consider that there's only one medicine approved for AD agitatio...

The government’s decision to halt visas for students from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan (UK puts emergency brake on study visas for four countries’ nationals, 3 March) risks shutting out talent, experience and leadership that will strengthen and stabilise countries around the world. Shabana Basij-Rasikh was just six years old when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan. She came to the Blavatnik School of Government in 2019 after founding the School of Leadership, Afghanistan, providing quality education for Afghan girls. At the Blavatnik School, she worked with classmates to map 130 million girls out of school across the world and design policies to accelerate their access to education. This work highlights the role of UK universities as hubs for solutions to global challenges. Shabana is just one of the inspiring students from these countries who have walked through our doors. Fatima Bashir was a dentist in Sudan who wanted to influence wider health outcomes. She now works for Gavi, the global alliance for vaccines. Thu Thu Aung, a Pulitzer prize‑winning journalist from Myanmar, is now the editor in chief of Frontier Myanmar, an award-winning news magazine. Our UK alumni say they learned lessons in resilience, governance and innovation from their classmates that no textbook could replicate. This year, our master of public policy students include those who have committed to run for office within five years of finishing, as well as Britons working in local government or the civil service. They are among the 76% of our students receiving full scholarships; 11% receive some funding. All are committed to public service and, with classmates from 63 countries, they learn from many places about how to do better. We work very hard to raise funding for scholarships and we are dismayed that our scholarships dedicated to future leaders from Sudan and Myanmar will now lie fallow. We believe that all countries benefit from learning together about how to achieve stab...

Regarding Gaby Hinsliff’s article (Influencers sold the world a fantasy Dubai – and now it’s gone in a puff of missile smoke, 6 March), Dubai has certainly been marketed as a place of aspiration, often through social media. But the suggestion that recent events somehow represent a moral reckoning for those living there feels glib. Most residents are ordinary professionals and families who have built lives in Dubai over many years. When tensions rise in the region, their first concern is the safety of their families, not the preservation of a “fantasy lifestyle”. Many people move to places like Dubai not out of frivolity but because they are seeking a tax and regulatory environment that allows them to keep more of what they earn. Rather than dismissing those who leave as participants in a lifestyle fantasy, commentators might usefully ask why so many skilled workers are drawn to jurisdictions with simpler and often lighter tax regimes. Mark Husbands Nottingham I cried when I saw the cartoon in the Guardian depicting an expat in Dubai – cried with fear and distress. My son is currently “sheltering in place” in Dubai as a result of the current crisis in the Middle East. He’s not an influencer or a tax dodger. He moved there during the pandemic for a graduate job opportunity when there were very few opportunities in the UK – a situation that sadly continues. He’s not asking for sympathy or demanding to be brought back to the UK, he’s showing incredible courage and continuing to work while under fire to pay off his student loan. I wonder whether the cartoonist has ever had been in imminent danger from missile and drone attacks? I doubt it – otherwise how to explain the lack of empathy shown in this cartoon published only three days after the crisis broke? Jessamy Hadley Ascot, Berkshire

The US-Israel war on Iran is a catastrophic escalation in an already devastated region, and Britain must not be involved. It is causing appalling death and destruction in Iran and risks plunging the area into wider war. Already it is causing economic convulsions around the world. Its aims seem to change daily, but it is clearly an illegal and unprovoked war, one that started in the midst of negotiations. Its organisers have learned nothing from the carnage and chaos caused by previous wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Unsurprisingly, the war is deeply unpopular here and around the world. We call on our government to end all participation, to stop allowing the US to use British bases to pursue it and to join others in calling for an immediate end to the attacks.

格隆汇3月11日｜周二，由于全球领导人保证政策干预将减轻伊朗战争对能源价格的影响，美国原油期货跌幅延续至15%以上。国际能源署署长比罗尔表示，他已召集该政府间组织召开“特别会议”，以评估周二的市场状况。七国集团要求该机构制定释放紧急石油储备的方案，以应对中东危机对市场的冲击。美国总统特朗普早些时候表示，他将派遣美国海军护送油轮通过至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡。尽管如此，由于霍尔木兹海峡的实际关闭，伊朗战争每持续一天，生产商就面临更大的减产压力，因此价格比年初高出40%以上。

The US raised its forecast for domestic oil production next year after the recent surge in prices due to supply disruptions from key Middle East countries. US crude output is now expected to grow by 220,000 barrels a day in 2027 to 13.83 million barrels a day, according to the Energy Information Administration’s Short-Term Energy Outlook released Tuesday. The new forecast represents an increase of about 500,000 barrels from the agency’s previous projection made in February. That report showed US production was on course to peak this year and then decline in 2027. “Because changes in oil prices take time to affect production—moving from investment decisions to rig deployment to well completion and first oil—the effect of higher prices in our forecast is more pronounced in 2027 than in 2026,” the EIA said in its latest report. The US and Israel began strikes on Iran late last month, triggering widespread retaliatory attacks from Tehran and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that normally handles a fifth of global oil flows. Production cuts are rippling across the region as storage capacity fills up. Shut-in oil production will likely peak in early April, mostly in Iraq with smaller volumes in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, the EIA estimated. It added that output will gradually recover as flows through the Strait resume. US oil prices surged this week to nearly $120 a barrel before easing to trade near $84 a barrel. The rally has already pulled US retail gasoline prices to the highest levels since July 2024. The EIA raised its forecast for US retail gasoline prices to an average of $3.34 a gallon in 2026, up by 43 cents from its last projection. The surge in oil prices triggered a wave of hedging by shale drillers seeking to lock in elevated prices for future sales. The move could allow producers to ramp up output even if prices decline in coming months. The EIA increased its forecast for crude oil production in the ...
