Iran ’s nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan has invoked its mutual defence pact with Saudi Arabia in response to Tehran’s missile and drone attacks on the kingdom, in what analysts have described as a key test of Islamabad’s emerging role in the Middle East ’s security architecture. A gently worded warning to the Islamic Republic, delivered by Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, has established Islamabad as a go-between to manage the escalation Briefing the Senate on Tuesday, Dar said he had asked Iran to “please keep in mind” Pakistan’s defence pact with Saudi Arabia. Advertisement Qatar , “They asked for some assurances” that Saudi “soil should not be used” against Iran, and “I got them the assurances”, Dar said, noting Iran’s “minimal reaction” against Saudi Arabia compared with its intense attacks against the United Arab Emirates Bahrain and Kuwait “I am grateful they [Tehran] were able to understand my point, and in accordance with that, we secured assurances for them,” Dar added. Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Ishaq Dar addresses the UN Security Council in New York on February 18. Photo: Reuters The Middle East has been entangled in another major conflict following the start of air attacks initiated by Israel and the US against Iran on Saturday. Tehran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei died in one of the attacks. Iran has carried out retaliatory missile and drone hits in recent days against Israel and several Gulf states, primarily economic infrastructure for the latter.

European Union leaders will direct the bloc’s executive arm to propose measures to lower power prices to aid local industries when they meet at a summit later this month. Heads of government are set to ask the European Commission to examine all components of wholesale and retail electricity prices at the gathering in Brussels, according to a draft statement for the March 19 event by Bloomberg News. Stubbornly high power prices have risen to the top of the bloc’s political agenda, with heavy industry blaming them for factory closures in the face of a toughening rivalry with China and the US, where energy is cheaper. The US and Israeli war with Iran is also exacerbating concerns, as oil and gas prices spike. The leaders will also demand that an upcoming review of the EU carbon market, the bloc’s flagship climate policy tool, both reduce volatility and its impact on electricity prices, while still preserving the program’s “essential role” in stimulating clean investment. The commission is scheduled to propose a revision of the emissions trading law in the third quarter of this year. The EU Emissions Trading System has come under mounting criticism from energy-intensive companies, with some member states arguing it is elevating energy costs. Last month, Italian industry minister Adolfo Urso called for a suspension of the cap-and-trade program until it is reviewed and overhauled. The Italian government is also preparing a sweeping overhaul of its electricity market that would strip carbon costs from power bills, a move that has sent shock waves through energy markets. The measures, which require the green light from the commission to become a law, are designed to reimburse gas-fired power plants for the cost of carbon permits.

In this article USO Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 6:22 06:22 Treasury Sec. Bessent: U.S. will make 'series of announcements' to support oil trade in the Gulf Squawk Box Oil prices fell Wednesday for the first time since the U.S. launched its war against Iran, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration will provide support to oil tankers transiting the Persian Gulf and announce more measures in the coming days. U.S. crude oil fell 82 cents, or 1.1%, to $73.74 per barrel by 8:18 a.m. ET. Global benchmark Brent was down 57 cents, or 0.7%, to $80.83. WTI crude nearly topped $78 a barrel at its high this week since the U.S. and Israel launched a massive wave of airstrikes against OPEC member Iran over the weekend. Iran has responded with volleys of missile and drone strikes against targets across the Middle East, including energy infrastructure. U.S. crude jumped 6% on Monday and 5% on Tuesday. The oil market has calmed after President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would insure tankers through the International Development Finance Corporation. Trump also promised naval escorts for oil traffic in the Persian Gulf if necessary. Oil turned lower as Bessent told CNBC Wednesday that the White House would make a series of announcements to support the oil trade in the Gulf. "We have a series of announcements that we're going to be making," Bessent said on CNBC's " Squawk Box ." "We began yesterday with the announcement that DFC will provide the insurance for both the crude carriers and the cargo ships operating in around the Gulf over the weekend."

Key Points Roth conversions can cause a big increase in your taxable income. That could leave you subject to Medicare surcharges. You may want to space out Roth conversions to avoid problems. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › There's a reason Roth conversions are a big part of many people's retirement strategy. If you earned too much money most of your career to contribute to a Roth IRA, a Roth conversion allows you to move funds into one of these accounts so you can enjoy certain benefits later on. These include tax-free withdrawals and avoiding required minimum distributions (RMDs). Your 60s may be a good time to consider Roth conversions if you're easing into retirement with part-time work and are in a lower tax bracket than you've been in previous years. But if you're 63 and are planning a Roth conversion, there's a hidden trap you might fall into if you aren't careful. 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 » A spike in your income could spell trouble When you do a Roth conversion, the money you move over is added to your taxable income. And a large conversion could leave you with a large IRS bill. For this reason, you need to plan for a Roth conversion carefully. But that's not the only pitfall to be mindful of. See, an increase in your income may do more than just raise your tax bill that year. It could also cost you the form of higher Medicare premiums two years later. Each year, there's a standard monthly premium Medicare enrollees are charged for Part B. But higher earners can be subject to surcharges on their Part B premiums known as income-related monthly adjustment amounts, or IRMAAs. IRMAAs aren't based on current income, though. Rather, they're based on your income from two years prior. Here's why large Roth conversions at age 63 can be dan...

Stock futures are slightly higher this morning after two days of volatile trading, as investors assess the potential impact of the conflict in the Middle East; U.S. officials said Iran’s fighting capacity has been diminished while Saudi Arabia said a strike on an oil processing plant caused little damage; oil prices have stabilized after President Donald Trump said that the U.S. would protect oil shipping; bitcoin is surging, lifting crypto stocks along with it; and chip giant Broadcom is set to report earnings after the closing bell. Here's what you need to know today. Stock Futures Rise as Traders Monitor War Stock futures are ticking higher after a wild few days of trading, as investors keep close tabs on developments in the Middle East. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 0.2% recently, while those linked to the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Major indexes closed lower yesterday but well above their intraday lows, as the market rebounded from steep early losses for the second day in a row. At one point Tuesday, the Dow had shed nearly 1,300 points—on track for its worst day since last April's tariff shock—but the blue chip index ended the day down 400 points. Oil prices stabilized after two days of big gains that were fueled by concerns about supply disruptions, while bitcoin surged. (more on those markets below.) Gold futures were up 1.2% recently at $5,185 an ounce, recovering from a decline yesterday that came on the heels of a big gain on Monday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which can influence mortgage rates and other consumer loans, was at 4.08%, up from 4.06% at yesterday's close. Iran Conflict Enters 5th Day The conflict in the Middle East moved into its fifth day on Wednesday as U.S. military leaders said that Iran’s ability to launch attacks was declining. U.S. Admiral Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, said that the U.S. has “severely degraded Iran’s air defenses and destroy...

EyePoint (EYPT) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.81 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.78. This compares to a loss of $0.64 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.85%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this drug delivery technology company would post a loss of $0.77 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.85, delivering a surprise of -10.39%. Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates. EyePoint, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $0.62 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.89%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $11.59 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two 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. EyePoint shares have added about 0.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.4%. What's Next for EyePoint? While EyePoint has outperformed 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...

The Good Brigade/DigitalVision via Getty Images Political Calculations' initial estimate of the total valuation of U.S. new home sales is $28.10 billion for November 2025 and $30.36 billion for December 2025. Initial sales and price data for both months recently became available after having been delayed because of the Senate Democrats' 43-day-long government shutdown fiasco during the last quarter of 2025. The initial estimates of the number of new home sales reported for November and December 2025 is 53,000 and 57,000 for each month, respectively, which indicate growth in the new home market as the year came to a close. Average new home prices are likewise higher than were recorded a year earlier at $530,200 and $532,600 for both months. Taking basic seasonality into account, the trailing twelve-month average of new home sales was $28.28 billion in November and $28.20 billion in December 2025. These figures indicate the new home market continued slowed after peaking at the revised estimates of $29.17 billion in September 2025 and the $28.85 billion estimated for October 2025. These figures represent time-shifted, partial trailing twelve-month averages. The initial estimate for any given month is based on the U.S. Census Bureau's estimated annualized number of new home sales multiplied by their average price for that month, which is averaged with the data for the preceding six months. These total valuation (or new home market capitalization) estimates are then updated as each new month's data is added to it, until it covers a full twelve months worth of data, and as older data is revised, which continues until that data is finalized some 10 months after the month for which the data applies. The benefit of this approach is that it 'centers' the trailing average in something closer to real time, which makes it easier to tell when changes in trend take place. The disadvantage is that the latest data is incomplete. It will be subject to revision during the next nine mo...

There's no denying that Social Security benefits increase after age 62 and it's good to understand how to maximize them. What's less discussed is why people may choose to retire at age 62 and how it's the right choice for many.

There's no denying that Social Security benefits increase after age 62 and it's good to understand how to maximize them. What's less discussed is why people may choose to retire at age 62 and how it's the right choice for many. No two people are exactly alike, and what seems like an odd course of action for one person may make perfect sense to another. Here are some reasons people might bid adieu to the workplace earlier rather than later. 1. Immediate access to Social Security benefits Clocking out for the last time makes sense for those whose jobs make them sick (physically or mentally). It may be that the last layoff was one layoff too many, or someone just wants to put the rat race behind them. Or they might worry about the Social Security trust fund running dry in 2032 and what will happen if Congress can't come up with a bipartisan way to repair the program. 2. Time is finite The older a person gets, the more likely they are to recognize that time is a finite resource they can't get more of, no matter how much money they bring in each month. Retiring at 62 allows a person to travel, spend time with family, and enjoy hobbies. This may be especially important to someone who fears they won't be healthy enough to enjoy retirement if they wait until full retirement age (FRA) to take the leap. 3. Invisible issues It's not always possible to look at another person and know if they're seriously ill and/or expected to have a shorter-than-average lifespan. For some, waiting for the "break-even point" to retire and claim Social Security makes little sense. 4. The desire to find a new challenge In some cases, a person might retire at 62, leave a job they no longer enjoy, and find part-time or full-time work they love. If the income from the new job isn't enough to cover the bills, Social Security benefits can help fill the gap. 5. They've become caregivers Getting older often means looking out for aging parents, a sick spouse, or an ailing friend. Becoming a caregiver lat...

D-Wave Quantum QBTS reported bookings of $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, down 27% compared to the prior-year period, which benefited from an eight-figure system sale. On a sequential basis, bookings jumped 471% from $2.4 million in the preceding third quarter, making it the second-highest quarterly bookings in the company's history. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the previously announced €10 million booking tied to a multi-year, 50% capacity commitment for an Advantage2 annealing quantum computing system, intended to support the development of a state-of-the-art quantum computing and research facility in Lombardy, Italy. D-Wave has entered fiscal 2026 on a solid note, with bookings to date already exceeding the company’s historical annual total. In January, it closed a $20 million agreement with Florida Atlantic University to purchase and install an Advantage2 annealing quantum computer at its Boca Raton campus. D-Wave also signed a two-year, $10 million enterprise Quantum Compute as a Service (QCaaS) agreement with a Fortune 100 company, marking one of the largest enterprise QCaaS deals identified to date in the quantum computing industry. Given the time required for site preparation, installation and other key steps, which may take several months or quarters, D-Wave records system sales revenues under a percentage-of-completion approach. The €10 million booking in Italy will be recognized ratably over a five-year period following system installation, which is anticipated in the second half of this year. Management expects revenue growth to improve in the back half of 2026 compared to the first half. Updates From QBTS’ Peers IonQ IONQ became the first public quantum company in history with more than $100 million in GAAP revenues in 2025. Recently, its subsidiary, ID Quantique (IDQ), earned the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification, affirming that the company has implemented rigorous practices across its operations...

Russia’s flagship crude blend is still trading at deep discounts despite a global oil rally driven by the growing escalation in the Middle East. The average discount on Urals oil exported from Russia’s western ports widened slightly to about $30.9 a barrel below the global Dated Brent benchmark on Tuesday, the widest gap since April 2023, data from Argus Media showed. While prices are rallying with the conflict that’s disrupting oil flows from the Persian Gulf, the gap shows buyers continue to require deep incentives to take Russian barrels. Russia, the world’s top crude producer after the US and Saudi Arabia, has had to offer higher discounts to a shrinking pool of buyers as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine triggered multiple western sanctions over the past four years. The Kremlin’s oil-tax revenues have been shrinking , contributing to a widening budget deficit and growing economic woes in the nation at war. US and Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend triggered a spiraling regional conflict, and multiple attacks on vessels have effectively closed off the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for about a fifth of the world’s crude shipments. Brent is trading near $82 a barrel, after rallying 12% over the past two days for the biggest gain since 2020, while West Texas Intermediate traded near $75. As Russian barrels don’t need to cross the Strait of Hormuz to reach key buyers in India and China, there’s some expectation the discounts could narrow if the disruptions continue. President Donald Trump said the US would offer insurance and even naval escorts to secure energy flows through the waterway, but the shipping industry sees it — at best — as only a partial solution to a historic crisis.
