Packed cinemas testify to the allure of Emily Brontë’s tale, even if this latest retelling is not to everyone’s taste It’s hard to think of any book with a stronger hold on its admirers than Wuthering Heights. Almost 200 years after publication, Emily Brontë’s tale of forbidden love and ruthless revenge inspires a devotion that makes any reinterpretation feel like a personal and proprietary affront. Into this sea of sensitivities has plunged the director Emerald Fennell, whose new adaptation has become one of the year’s most debated films. Dubbed “50 shades of Brontë”, everything about it has been scrutinised: from the casting of Aussies Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Cathy and Heathcliff to the anachronistic costumes and music, and the overt sexualisation of the plot.

Last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra. | Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge Samsung has released a new advertisement for its upcoming Galaxy S26 launch that all-but confirms rumors of a new display with a built-in privacy mode. Leaked videos show that the feature could be capable of entirely blacking out content from specific apps or parts of the display when viewed at an angle. The new advert shows a woman reading a racy romance novel on a subway, while curious passengers look over her shoulder. An overlay shows a quick flick of a "Zero-peeking privacy" toggle, which blacks out the titillating content for the nosy onlookers. That might sound similar to existing privacy filters, which have been available as after … Read the full story at The Verge.

adventtr/iStock via Getty Images B2Gold: The Bull Case Stronger Than Ever Data by YCharts B2Gold's ( BTG ) underperformance won't last much longer. Back in January 2024, I wrote " B2Gold: The Perfect Storm Of Events " rating the stock a BUY at US$2.65 after a sharp 11% sell-off. At the time, investors were panicking over a projected decline in 2024 gold production, rising AISC, ballooning capex at the Goose Project, and lingering fears about Mali. My argument was straightforward: the market was overreacting, the production dip was temporary rather than a permanent loss, and B2Gold's 2025 outlook was far more promising. Fast forward two years, and the stock has doubled to $5.30 (as of writing). Yet, despite the massive run-up in the stock price, B2Gold remains deeply undervalued. In fact, I think the bull case today is significantly stronger than it was in January 2024 , and, I believe the stock has much further to run from here. With gold trading above $5,000 per ounce (up from ~$2,050 when I wrote my last article), the Goose Mine now in commercial production, the Fekola underground approved and ramping, and a settlement in place with the Malian government, the fundamentals have improved on virtually every front. Yet B2Gold's valuation remains compressed, trading at a significant discount to virtually all of its peers. Here, I walk through the bull case for B2Gold ahead of a crucial earnings release on Wednesday, February 18. B2Gold: What Happened Last Quarter? B2Gold The Q3 2025 financial results tell an important story about where the company stands (and where it is headed). Total gold production in Q3 was 254,369 ounces , including about 14,000 ounces of pre-commercial production from Goose. More importantly, its three established gold mines (Fekola, Masbate, Otjikoto) produced 240,507 ounces. That was good for 2% above budget and 33% higher than the same quarter a year ago. Fekola alone was up 88% year-over-year. Revenue came in at $782.9 million, up nearly 75% ...

Soho theatre, London The former child magician from New York combines PowerPoint and personal trauma in an off-Broadway import that packs a considerable punch Two species of modern standup jostle for pre-eminence in Josh Sharp’s hit off-Broadway import ta-da! One is PowerPoint comedy; the other is humour mined from personal trauma. At first, form is foregrounded over content, as Sharp goes wild with a clicker, projecting his introductory battery of “hellos”, “hi’s” and “welcomes” in ginormous letters on an upstage screen. There will be 2,000 slides in this 75-minute show, he tells us, and they will demonstrate that every beat is (despite appearances) scripted and preordained. And so the stage is set for a feat of virtuosity from the former child magician – but also some reveal of why this frantic mode of presentation is right for the story Sharp has to tell. Is it to do with his generation’s habit of double-screening their entertainment? He hints it might be, then moves on. What we get instead is the coming-out story of this southerner turned New Yorker, which involves his mother’s terminal cancer and, obliquely, his own watery near-death experience a few years ago.

matejmo/iStock via Getty Images By Indrani De, CFA, PRM, Head of Global Investment Research | Zhaoyi Yang, CFA, FRM, Senior Manager, Global Investment Research | Indhu Raghavan, CFA, Manager, Global Investment Research Highlights In the last 25 years, emerging markets (EMs) collectively have meaningfully reduced their macroeconomic and financial market vulnerabilities, through stronger policy frameworks, improved external balances, and deeper domestic financial markets. EM vulnerabilities today are more likely to be idiosyncratic and localized. These structural improvements have, over time, prompted a gradual positive re-rating of EM assets, starting with sovereign fixed income and FX markets many years ago, and more recently observed in equities, where in 2025 EMs outperformed developed markets (DMs). EM equities potentially offer compelling upside opportunities relative to DM equities, benefitting from several secular investment themes that have been driving equity markets recently, including AI investment, the green transition, soaring demand for certain industrial and precious metals, and rising spending power in EMs, that all likely have room to run. EM equities are also likely to benefit from more cyclical factors such as having larger fiscal headroom, a more independent monetary easing cycle, attractive valuations, better earnings growth outlooks and lower correlations relative to DMs. Portfolio allocations to EMs deserve another look. EM equity market capitalization relative to global equities peaked post-GFC in October 2010 at around 13% and was 10.2% at the end of 2025. Emerging markets and developing economies' share of global GDP is estimated by the IMF at 41% (2025) and expected to rise to 44% (2030). There is considerable variation among EMs, with distinct macro and market drivers. EMs may lend themselves well to investors seeking selective, granular portfolio exposures. Introduction In the years since the Asian Financial Crisis, emerging markets (EMs)...

格隆汇2月16日｜高盛策略师预测，受英国央行降息推动，2026年英国国债将上涨，政府借贷成本将降至2024年以来最低水平。该行欧洲高级市场策略师George Cole表示，基准10年期英国国债收益率预计将到今年底达到4%。他认为，40个基点的降幅基于通胀回落促使英央行采取行动，其影响将盖过英国政治风险引发的担忧。Cole在致客户报告中称，“尽管英国风险溢价和政治不确定性可能在即将举行的地方选举期间持续居高不下，但我们认为有利的宏观环境将推动国债收益率走低。”

美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥在布达佩斯与匈牙利总理欧尔班·维克多举行联合记者会时表示，如果匈牙利出现任何金融困难，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将准备好提供协助。 鲁比奥在匈牙利4月选战进入最后冲刺阶段之际发表此番讲话，并暗示，特朗普致力于欧尔班取得成功，并称欧尔班连任符合美国的国家利益。 2月16日，鲁比奥（左）与欧尔班于布达佩斯。 欧尔班去年访问白宫后曾表示，他收到了特朗普提供“金融盾牌”的提议。鲁比奥的上述表态似乎是迄今为止最为明确的确认，即如有需要，美国准备好提供这一支持。 欧尔班在民调中仍落后于Peter Magyar的蒂萨党（Tisza），Magyar曾是执政党青年民主主义者联盟（Fidesz）的成员。 “我可以很有把握地告诉你，特朗普总统深深致力于你的成功，因为你的成功就是我们的成功，”鲁比奥说。 责任编辑：刘明亮

Today, with the India AI Impact Summit underway, we look at the opportunities and costs for India in the age of AI. Boom and Doom of India’s AI Journey The many faces of AI were visible this Monday morning if you were watching a Bloomberg screen. India’s first AI unicorn, Fractal Analytics, that provides artificial intelligence-based analytics services and raised $313 million in an IPO last week, slid 5% on its stock market debut. Meanwhile, news came in that a group of investors led by Blackstone plans to make an equity investment of up to $600 million in Indian AI cloud startup Neysa. It’s not just about the risk appetite of private investors versus public markets. Or the attraction of scant compute power versus soon-to-be crowded AI services. The boom and doom cycle of AI will play out in many ways in India, as you will undoubtedly read (and watch) this week in Bloomberg’s coverage of world leaders, tech moguls, founders and investors at the India AI Impact Summit. Here’s a short guide to help you make the best of it. LLM vs Sovereign OpenAI’s GPT series, Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini dominate the world of foundational large language models. China has DeepSeek. India has nothing at that scale yet. But this week, BharatGen and Sarvam AI will launch their sovereign models that cater to local languages and will offer voice-first use. Several other narrower models focused on specific business or technology needs are already in play. If we don’t play in this game, we will probably forever become a digital property tenant, Sarvam AI’s co-founder Vivek Raghavan s...

Good morning, and happy Presidents’ Day. Paramount may get another shot at buying Warner Bros. Marco Rubio has a double-edged message for Europe. And why sleep is overrated—when you’re in São Paulo. Listen to the day’s top stories . S&P 500 Index Futures 6,875.25 +0.36% Nasdaq 100 Index Futures 24,851 +0.19% Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index 1,182.38 +0.09% Cue the sequel. Warner Bros. is considering reopening talks with rival studio Paramount after receiving its amended offer . Board members are discussing whether such discussions could lead to a superior deal, people familiar said—given that the move may ignite a second bidding war with Netflix. Several shareholders, including activist investor Ancora, have publicly urged the board to engage with Paramount in this high-stakes drama . Rubio Says It's Important That Cubans Have 'More Freedom' Watch the Video We’re still friends—with conditions. Marco Rubio said Europe’s fate is intertwined with the US, while faulting the continent for drifting from shared Western values. Behind the double-edged message, the ongoing strain in transatlantic ties was hard to miss at the annual Munich Security Conference. Still, it may all just be a matter of time. California Governor Gavin Newsom urged Europeans to think of the Trump era as “temporary,” while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sketched out what the Democrats’ post-Biden foreign-policy vision might look like. Turbulence is also brewing inside the US Treasury. John Hurley, Donald Trump’s top sanctions official, is poised to depart after friction with Secretary Scott Bessent over the tactics and targets of US policy, according to people familiar. Officials are said to be floating ambassadorial roles for the hedge fund veteran . His exit would mark the latest shakeup in senior ranks following the departure of a number of key officials in recent months, including Bessent’s top deputy .

高盛策略师预测，受英国央行降息推动，2026年英国国债将上涨，政府借贷成本将降至2024年以来最低水平。 该行欧洲高级市场策略师George Cole表示，基准10年期英国国债收益率预计将到今年底达到4%。他认为，40个基点的降幅基于通胀回落促使英央行采取行动，其影响将盖过政治风险引发的担忧。 Cole在致客户报告中称，“尽管英国风险溢价和政治不确定性可能在即将举行的地方选举期间持续居高不下，但我们认为有利的宏观环境将推动国债收益率走低。” 由于顽固通胀使英国央行决策者在降息方面保持谨慎，英国的借贷成本高于其他国家。投资者还担心该国的财政状况，本月早些时候，由于首相基尔·斯塔默面临被迫下台的风险，而潜在接替者可能会寻求更多借款，英国国债收益率一度飙升。 Cole表示，随着5月地方选举临近，政治不确定性持续存在，预计斯塔默领导的工党将表现不佳，这可能使风险溢价维持在较高水平。不过，他指出，这些波动平均仅推动债券收益率上升30个基点，且此类波动通常持续时间较短。 英国政府面临的严格财政约束同样缓解了政治风险。Cole指出，这“最终限制了潜在政府更迭中政策波动的幅度”。 宏观不确定性降低与通胀回落趋势加剧正为英国国债提供支撑，这种前景促使货币市场消化2026年英国央行降息近两次的预期。Cole建议买入英国国债，同时卖出德国国债。 责任编辑：刘明亮
