TMC The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC) is a great business development story, but right now, that's largely all the company has to offer. Only the most aggressive investors should be considering it at this point in the company's development. Here's why you might want to buy it in 2026 and why most investors will likely be better off keeping this stock on their watch list for now. The Metals Company is looking to produce nickel, cobalt, copper, and manganese. These metals are vital for energy, defense, manufacturing, and infrastructure. There is both material demand and increasing interest from countries looking to source the metals from economically and politically stable regions. The Metals Company boldly claims that it is "unlocking the world's largest undeveloped resource" of these metals. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

The escalating Mideast war is testing global market resiliency anew as investors brace for the open of stock, bond and energy markets Sunday evening in New York. Early signs point to a shift away from risk. The US dollar surged and the Swiss franc edged higher against major peers in early trading, while the Australian dollar and South African rand led risk-sensitive currencies lower. Benchmark equity indexes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt each slid more than 2% in Sunday trading, with futures on US stocks, Treasuries, oil and gold set to begin trading at 6 p.m. New York time, offering the first broad gauge of investor sentiment. Shaken by fresh anxieties over artificial intelligence and potential cracks in credit, all while trading at historically high valuations, markets now must contend with a spiraling military action in Iran that threatens to destabilize global shipping and stanch travel. The impact on oil and inflation is a paramount concern in markets that last month saw US stocks post their worst drop in 10 months. “This is all coming at a fragile time as investors are becoming more cautious,” said Dec Mullarkey , managing director at SLC Management. “US equity markets are already very sensitive to threats of technology disruption and emerging credit stress, so the prospects of higher commodity prices could force a selloff as investors rein in risk.” Bloomberg Economics said a prolonged conflict in the Middle East raises the likelihood of crude reaching $80 a barrel and estimated that if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, then it could trigger a spike as high as $108. About one-fifth of global oil flows pass through the waterway, making it a critical energy choke point. Brent crude prices closed at $72.48 a barrel on Friday.

The Trump Administration Ditches Another Rogue DOJ Official Authored by Tudor Dixon via American Greatness, The second Trump administration is very different from the first. As 45th president, Donald Trump was saddled with disloyal officials who constantly undermined his agenda. The Ukraine impeachment scandal, among other events, was the result of this internal subversion. But the second term sets a new standard for loyalty. The administration will no longer tolerate rogue officials making their own policy. This was made clear last week when the administration pushed out Gail Slater , the Justice Department’s antitrust chief. Slater made a name for herself by going against administration policy and insisting on her personal priorities. While some misguided conservatives praised Slater as a “MAGA patriot,” her record reveals a very different streak. She was weak on China, weak on defending free speech, and weak on combating woke corporations. Her departure signals that the second Trump administration is serious about ensuring officials are committed to the president’s agenda. Slater ran afoul of the administration in her incorrigible opposition to the HPE-Juniper merger. The merger was supported by national security experts in the administration as necessary to counter the growing menace of Chinese tech dominance. The merger would allow American companies to coalesce resources to take on Huawei on the world stage. One official told Axios last year that blocking the deal would have “hindered American companies and empowered” Chinese entities. But Slater was resolutely opposed to it, in spite of the national security claims raised. The administration overruled her objections and approved the deal anyway. “Competition is global, and a combined HPE-Juniper is a stronger bulwark against that, against Huawei,” a government source told Fortune on why the administration approved the merger. “It will be the only U.S.-based company that provides the entire technology stack th...

Chance Yeh/Getty Images Entertainment Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) CEO Dario Amodei said his company is being punished for refusing to loosen restrictions on how its artificial intelligence can be used by the U.S. military. After weeks of talks, President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s AI tools, canceling more than $200 million in contracts. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the company as a national security “supply chain risk,” an unusual designation for a U.S. firm. Amodei said the move is retaliatory. “It feels very punitive and inappropriate, given the amount that we've done for U.S. national security,” he said in an interview with CBS News televised Sunday. Anthropic, which developed the Claude chatbot, has provided AI systems for classified Pentagon work since last year. But the company balked when the Defense Department sought unrestricted access to its technology for lawful military use ahead of the recent strike on Iran. “We have these two red lines,” Amodei said. “We've had them from Day One. We are still advocating for those red lines. We're not gonna move on those red lines.” Those limits include barring mass surveillance of Americans and refusing to allow its AI to operate fully autonomous weapons without human oversight. Amodei said current systems lack the judgment of human soldiers and could increase the risk of civilian casualties or friendly fire. The company does not want to deploy tools it views as unreliable or potentially deadly, he said. The standoff raises a broader question: who decides how cutting-edge AI is deployed—private developers or the federal government? Amodei said companies in a free-market system can set their own principles. “I think we are a good judge of what our models can do reliably and what they cannot do reliably,” he said. Responding to criticism from Trump, who has labeled Anthropic “a left-wing woke company,” Amodei said, “We, I think, have tried to be very neutral. So, this idea that we've so...
