Middle East turmoil, centered on the U.S. war with Iran, is playing havoc with world energy markets. An ongoing dispute over access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of world oil and natural gas supply is shipped, is causing prices to surge. This is a boon for South America's oil industry, particularly Suriname's emerging petroleum boom, which was delayed by conflicting drilling results and seismic data. The former Dutch colony is on the cusp of becoming South America's next major oil-producing nation.
Since 2019, Suriname's government in the capital Paramaribo has hungrily eyed Guyana's booming petroleum sector, which delivered a massive economic windfall for the former British colony. Five major oil discoveries in offshore Block 58, which started in 2020 with the Maka Central-1 exploration well, confirmed the presence of commercially exploitable hydrocarbons in Suriname's portion of the offshore Guyana-Suriname Basin.
After a series of delays, beginning in 2022, due to mismatched drilling results and seismic data along with a high gas-to-oil ratio, TotalEnergies, the operator of Block 58, approved a final investment decision (FID). TotalEnergies, which holds a 50% working interest in offshore Block 58, and 50% partner APA Corporation approved the development of the deepwater GranMorgu project. This changed the project's ownership structure. Forty percent was retained by the operator TotalEnergies with another 40% retained by APA, and the remainder granted to Staatsolie.
The state-controlled energy company's acquisition was in accordance with Staatsolie's rights set out in the production-sharing contract (PSC) for Block 52. The company used a $1.6 billion loan from a banking consortium and a March 2025 bond issue to finance the acquisition. Staatsolie's share of GranMorgu will multiply the earnings delivered to Paramaribo, which has been battling an economic crisis since 2021. Indeed, the situation was so severe that rioting engulfed parts of the capital and parliament was stormed by protestors in 2023.
GranMorgu, which will come online in 2028, is a game changer for an economically challenged Suriname. The project's floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO) vessel, on completion, will have capacity of 220,000 barrels per day.

Deciding to retire can feel a bit unnerving. Retirees have plenty to potentially worry about – some of which they have no control over – like how the market will perform and how fast prices at the supermarket will increase.
But regardless of the economic environment, simple mistakes can prove costly for retirees.
Here are some common mistakes that you'll want to avoid as you enter your golden years. And if you need additional help planning for retirement, consider connecting with a financial advisor.
Did you know that you may need to pay income taxes on your Social Security benefits? In fact, up to 85% of your benefits may be taxable, depending on your other sources of income. The income thresholds that trigger taxes are set at specific amounts and don't adjust for inflation, which means more retirees hit those tax limits every year.

YTD, the fund returned 16.5% net of fees. long portfolio significantly outperformed both benchmarks, while the short portfolio was mixed in the quarter.

Amplitech (which I shared my long thesis in the fund's Q1 investment letter) returned even more in Q2 at 266% driven on a narrative pushed by retail investors that Amazon has become a client and that their devices will be used in future satellite launches. The fund exited the position in May with a return of 166% because we believe this narrative is incorrect and the stock had reached our valuation target of $6. I had no idea Amplitech would get caught up in this retail bubble, but I'll take the win and move on."

By Harry Robertson and Laura Matthews
LONDON/NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - The dollar was flat on Friday, on track for a weekly decline as tame U.S. inflation data led traders to cut bets on imminent rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
Iran and the ‌United States exchanged intensifying fire in a week-long escalation that has largely unravelled last month's truce, spurring safe-haven bids for the dollar ‌and pushing oil prices to near one-month highs.
Meanwhile, U.S. consumer sentiment climbed to a five-month high in July, although traders said the respite may prove temporary with renewed conflict in the Middle East driving up gasoline prices.
"The tech-led global equity market plunge and ongoing disruption to Strait of Hormuz traffic have triggered a flight to safety," said Elias Haddad, global head of markets strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. "USD recovered some of this week's losses, and global bond yields edged a bit lower."

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) reported record second quarter revenue and profit that topped Wall Street expectations on Wednesday, driven by strength across its institutional securities, wealth management and investment management businesses.
The bank posted earnings per diluted share of $3.46 on net revenue of $21.35 billion for the quarter ended June 30, exceeding **** ysts' expectations of $2.93 per share on revenue of $19.63 billion. A year earlier, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) reported earnings per share of $2.13 on revenue of $16.79 billion.
Net income attributable to Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) rose to $5.58 billion from $3.54 billion a year earlier, while return on tangible common equity increased to 26.6% from 18.2%.
Institutional Securities generated record revenue of $11.04 billion, up from $7.64 billion a year earlier. Investment banking revenue climbed to $2.44 billion from $1.54 billion, while equities revenue surged to $6.30 billion from $3.72 billion. Fixed income revenue increased to $2.46 billion from $2.18 billion.
Wealth Management reported record revenue of $8.86 billion, compared with $7.76 billion a year earlier. The division attracted a record $148.1 billion in net new **** ets during the quarter, while total client **** ets across wealth and investment management reached $10 trillion.

What happened: Micron Technology (MU) stock jumped more than 4% on Thursday, joining a broader rally across memory and AI-related stocks. Sandisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC), Marvell (MRVL), Broadcom (AVGO), Intel (INTC), and AMD (AMD) also traded higher.
What's behind the move: The jump comes after reports that Asia's SK Hynix (000660.KS) is oversubscribed in its US IPO, signaling that institutional investors remain bullish on the AI memory trade.
On Thursday, Micron also unveiled plans to invest up to $3 billion to bolster the US semiconductor supply chain, with part of the investment supporting GlobalWafers' silicon wafer manufacturing operations in Texas.
Micron and GlobalWafers plan to enter a 10-year supply agreement, giving Micron long-term access to raw silicon wafer capacity.
What else you need to know: The artificial intelligence trade has been a major driver of earnings growth this year, helping propel the broader stock market higher.

Ethiopia's national payment switch, EthSwitch, is exploring expanded cooperation with Huawei on artificial intelligence, payment infrastructure and cross-border payment connectivity with China. The discussions signal EthSwitch's growing engagement with global financial technology partners as Ethiopia expands its interoperable payments ecosystem. Specifically, Ethiopia is committed to boosting mobile banking innovation, resilient payment infrastructure, AI applications to improve efficiency and security, cross-border payment collaboration with China's payment and clearing ecosystem, and technical capacity building for Ethiopia's financial technology sector.
The timing is significant. EthSwitch recently reported processing 387 million interoperable transactions worth ETB 1.26tn during the 2025/26 fiscal year, while posting ETB 2.6bn in pre-tax profit. The figures underscore the rapid expansion of Ethiopia's digital payments market and the increasingly strategic role of the national switch in connecting banks and payment service providers across the country.
Established to deliver interoperable payment infrastructure, EthSwitch has become the backbone of Ethiopia's electronic payments ecosystem, supporting ATM, point-of-sale, QR code, instant payment and gateway services that enable seamless transactions across financial institutions. As Ethiopia continues to liberalise and modernise its financial sector, the institution is playing an increasingly central role in supporting digital financial services and financial inclusion.
Huawei, meanwhile, has steadily expanded its digital finance business globally, positioning itself as a technology partner to banks, central banks and national payment infrastructure operators. The company provides cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital banking solutions to financial institutions in more than 60 countries and says it serves thousands of financial-sector customers worldwide.
EthSwitch regards the discussions on cross-border payment cooperation with China's payment and clearing ecosystem as particularly noteworthy. Closer connectivity could eventually facilitate faster and more efficient payment flows supporting trade, tourism and commercial transactions between Ethiopia and China, Ethiopia's largest bilateral trading partner.
"EthSwitch explores Huawei partnership on AI and China payment connectivity" was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

The Euro has really started to roll over again during the trading session here on Wednesday as interest rates in America continue to pick up. That, of course, is driven by the fact that the Americans have attacked the Iranians again, and this suggests that perhaps market participants are going to continue to run to the safety of the US dollar or maybe just the yields of the US dollar.
The US dollar has rallied against the Swiss franc, although it is struggling a little bit with the 0.81 level. The 0.81 level is an area that I think, given enough time, if we can break above there, market participants can really start to drive this pair towards the 0.82 level. I think it is probably only a matter of time before that happens, but we are seeing a bit of fight here in the Swiss franc due to the safety trade. I am bullish still.
The Australian dollar has gone back and forth during the course of the trading session. It looks like we're just struggling with that 0.6950 level, but we do have the 200-day EMA underneath offering support. This should be an area of struggle, so make sure you pay close attention in this area.
So, I think we're just kind of stuck here, but if we can break above 0.6966 or so, it's likely that this market will continue to press towards the 50-day EMA. Any pullback from here and a breakdown below the swing low at 0.6860, I think, then opens up the possibility of a drop down to the 0.67 level, which, quite frankly, at this point, I don't think would be overly surprising.

It's been a history-filled two months for Wall Street and investors. **** e Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) etched its name in the record books with the largest-ever initial public offering, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) all soared to fresh highs.
But the changing of the guard at Wall Street's foremost financial institution, the Federal Reserve, may be the pinnacle of these events. Jerome Powell's second term as Fed chair came to an end on May 15, allowing President Donald Trump's handpicked successor, Kevin Warsh, to officially become head of the central bank.

Although Trump seemingly couldn't usher Powell out the door fast enough -- Powell has chosen to remain on the Board of Governors -- a new Fed chair isn't a panacea for the ideological gap between the president and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), led by Warsh, over interest rates.
Shortly after the start of Trump's second, non-consecutive term, he began publicly chastising Jerome Powell and the FOMC for not aggressively lowering interest rates. These vocal criticisms are what made it clear that Powell wouldn't return for a third term as Fed chair.

Six months ago, ******* eX (NASDAQ: SPCX) was a private rocket company. Today, it is a public one worth more than $2 trillion, and its most intriguing new project has nothing to do with launching rockets. In March 2026, Elon Musk unveiled Terafab, a sprawling semiconductor venture, run alongside his electric-car company Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and AI start-up xAI, with Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) later signing on to contribute manufacturing technology. The pitch is audacious: build chips not just for cars and robots, but for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in orbit.
For a company this new to the public market, it's worth asking what a bet like that could mean -- and what it's worth today.

Terafab begins with a prototype fab in Austin and a far larger complex planned elsewhere in Texas.

The scale is staggering: ******* eX has pegged the initial investment at about $55 billion and the total build-out at up to $119 billion.
Interestingly, the ******* e angle is what sets it apart. Musk has said that a large share of Terafab's output is aimed at chips for artificial-intelligence data centers in orbit, where abundant sunlight provides power, and cooling would be easier.

Big banks are making money, and while these jobs are often considered stable, that does not automatically mean every banking job is safe.
Financial firms have spent the past several years adjusting to higher interest rates, changing customer habits, rising technology spending, and pressure to run more efficiently.
That creates a difficult reality for workers. A company can be profitable, expanding in some areas while still cutting jobs in specific offices, support teams, or customer service functions.
That shift is now showing up at JPMorgan Chase's massive campus in Plano, Texas, one of its largest hubs outside of New York.
The banking giant is cutting 244 jobs as it ends a call-center work function tied to its Consumer & Community Banking operations.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the best stocks for beginners to buy now. On June 23, Google and Energy Dome announced a bilateral commercial agreement for a 23MW/200MWh CO2 Battery project in County Offaly, Ireland. This initiative marks the first major deployment under their long-term partnership to scale long-duration energy storage. The system will store surplus renewable energy by compressing CO2 and releasing it through a turbine when power is needed, helping to stabilize the grid and alleviate congestion.
Located on a former peat-fired power plant site, the project repurposes brownfield land to support Ireland's goal of reaching 80% renewable electricity by 2030. By providing dispatchable power near critical grid nodes serving the Dublin area, the CO2 Battery will reduce the need for costly transmission upgrades. Unlike lithium-ion alternatives, the technology uses readily available, off-the-shelf components, offering a more sustainable path for securing 24/7 carbon-free energy.

The project has secured necessary land, planning permissions, and a 10-year capacity contract from EirGrid, with operations expected to begin in 2028. Energy Dome intends to expand the site with a second unit, creating a dedicated long-duration energy storage hub. This deployment serves as a key blueprint for the companies' broader collaboration to implement storage solutions across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a holding company that operates Google services such as search engines, ad platforms, Internet browsers, devices, mapping software, app stores, video streaming, and more.
