Some retirees will find themselves keeping much more of their retirement income in their pockets. People don't jump for joy when it comes to paying taxes, even though they're necessary for many of the public services they enjoy daily. This goes for sales, property, capital gains, and income taxes. Although people spend their whole careers paying taxes and saving for retirement, they're not off the hook for taxes in retirement. Luckily, 13 states don't tax retirement income in any form. This doesn't exempt you from federal tax rules, however, but it can be a major relief and help you keep more money in your pockets in your senior years. States with no income tax Let's begin with the nine states that don't tax any income, retirement-related or not: Alaska Florida Nevada New Hampshire South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington Wyoming Since these states don't tax income, they typically make up for it with higher taxes on other sources, such as property, sales, or business taxes. Tennessee, for example, has one of the highest sales taxes in the country. States that don't tax some form of retirement income These six states tax regular income, but retirees are off the hook with some of their retirement income and pensions. Three of them have no tax on retirement income at all: Arkansas: Up to $6,000 is exempt annually from individual retirement account (IRA) distributions and employer-sponsored pension plans. Up to $6,000 is exempt annually from individual retirement account (IRA) distributions and employer-sponsored pension plans. Illinois: All retirement income is exempt.

Russia sustained around 9,000 more battlefield losses in Ukraine than it was able to replace last month, according to assessments from Western officials, signalling progress for Ukraine’s ambition to inflict heavier damage on the front line. Russian forces were unable to achieve significant gains on the ground in January even as they sustained heavy losses, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The assessment, which could not be independently verified, could bolster Kyiv’s aim to drive up the cost for Moscow. The number of Russian soldiers killed in action jumped to as high as 35,000 in December, Bloomberg reported last month, a figure that was roughly double the monthly average calculated by Nato in 2025. Advertisement The Defence Ministry in Moscow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has outlined a strategy of trying to increase Russian losses to 50,000 a month by the summer, an outcome that Kyiv views as making it difficult for Russian President Vladimir Putin to replace troops without some form of mobilisation. Advertisement In December, Russian losses were about equal to Moscow’s monthly recruitment, the officials said. The deficit faced by Moscow in January suggests Ukraine’s strategy appeared to be having some success, the Western officials said, although it remains to be seen whether Kyiv is able to maintain the recent dynamics.

BlackJack3D Chinese artificial intelligence stocks rose on Thursday after multiple companies introduced upgraded models and senior policymakers reiterated calls for wider adoption of the technology. Hong Kong-listed Zhipu AI, which trades as Knowledge Atlas Technology, surged 30% after releasing its GLM-5, an open-source large-language model with enhanced coding capabilities and long-running agent tasks. According to a CNBC report, the company said the model approaches Anthropic’s ( ANTHRO ) Claude Opus 4.5 in coding benchmarks while surpassing Google’s ( GOOG ) Gemini 3 Pro on some tests. MiniMax’s Hong Kong-listed shares surged 11% on Wednesday after the company launched its upgraded M2.5 open-source model, featuring enhanced AI agent tools, on its international website. Meanwhile, DeepSeek ( DEEPSEEK ), which took the world by storm last year, also upgraded its flagship AI model on Wednesday, adding support for a larger context window and more up-to-date knowledge, according to a report from the South China Morning Post. Ant Group, the fintech company that's one-third owned by Alibaba Group ( BABA ), also released its open-source AI model, Ming-Flash-Omni 2.0, on Wednesday.

Omani stocks are heading for their best week in more than a decade as optimism builds that the Gulf bourse’s push to be classified as an emerging market would unlock fresh investor inflows. Muscat’s MSX 30 benchmark has advanced more than 9% since Sunday to its highest level since 2014. Gains of nearly 20% so far this year are almost double those for MSCI Inc.’s emerging-market index. The rally reflects growing anticipation that Oman could secure an MSCI upgrade as trading volumes improve and a spate of recent listings deepen the market, said Shahrukh Saleem , a portfolio analyst at Mashreq Capital . The bourse is aiming to meet MSCI’s requirements this year and secure inclusion by 2028 at the latest. Admission to an EM-index by providers such as MSCI or FTSE Russell typically boost bourses by generating demand from passive investment trackers and broadening the investor base. “Oman has been the best-performing Gulf equity market year-to-date, driven primarily by large-cap stocks, which are expected to be the primary beneficiaries of any index‑driven inflows,” Saleem said. Oman’s macroeconomic backdrop remains supportive, underpinned by steady foreign investment inflows and policies that are increasingly favorable to private-sector growth, he said. The number of liquidity providers in Oman has also increased over the past few months, and local firms are stepping up their investor relations, further boosting stocks, according to Paolo Casamassima, executive director of investor relations and stakeholder engagement at Arqaam Capital . The ongoing rally offers a shot in the arm for the country’s equity capital markets, which cooled in 2025 after listing volumes hit a record a year earlier. Stronger inflows would also boost the government’s privatization push and potentially lure more private players. Energy group OQ SAOC has been key to the drive to sell down state assets and is preparing additional initial public offerings, including in its fertilizer business . The l...

Officials from the Philippines -claimed Kalayaan group of islands within the disputed Spratly Islands archipelago plan to expand its civilian population amid a war of words with the Chinese embassy in the country. Local authorities in Kalayaan, which falls under the jurisdiction of Palawan province, were working on plans to grow the population beyond its current outpost on Thitu Island, known locally as Pagasa, and to the six other land masses under its administration, Vice-Mayor Maurice Phillip Albayda told This Week in Asia. Over 400 people live on Pagasa, the municipality’s lone village, while soldiers are stationed on the rest of the islands, making up the sparse number of inhabitants in the highly contested waters of the South China Sea amid a long-standing Manila-Beijing maritime row. Advertisement “Our trajectory under the leadership of our municipal mayor is to populate the other islands as well,” Albayda said. The move, aimed at boosting the local economy, was “on track”. The council has been developing a comprehensive road map to pitch to the country’s Senate and House of Representatives, according to Albayda.
