Cuban policy expert Frank Mora told CNN that “La Numancia” became a motif…

As economic and geopolitical uncertainty increases, so do fears that the so-called artificial intelligence bubble could burst, prompting investors to look for stocks that trade in the opposite direction of the broader market.

These can be a good hedge against market downturns. Will a bear…
The Israeli military is deliberately targeting children in the Gaza Strip and continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians, an independent United Nations commission of inquiry has revealed. In a report released Tuesday, the commission, which concluded last year that Israel committed genocide in Gaza, found that Israeli military operations continue and are causing “unprecedented deaths, injuries and trauma” to Palestinian children. The commission described the alleged deliberate targeting of children as a key indicator of the Israeli authorities’ genocidal intent to destroy the Palestinian people, including after the ceasefire in Gaza took effect. “Despite the October 2025 ceasefire, Israel continues…
What looked like it was going to be a brutal Tuesday for Wall Street turned out not to be as bad as feared. Undoubtedly, some individual stocks are being crushed, especially within the semiconductor industry and the broader artificial intelligence cohort. However, Tuesday’s overall behavior appears to be much more constructive than we thought just a few hours ago. Why were there concerns early this morning? There are two main reasons.

Don’t expect SpaceX’s tough situation to end anytime soon. SpaceX has not yet traded on the public market for a full week, but the stock price is already proving volatile. After its blockbuster IPO on June 12, Elon Musk’s rocket maker’s market capitalization soared past Amazon and even Microsoft, before falling again. The stock is already down more than 28% from its recent highs, and at one point fell below its opening price of $150. In the end it was around $161. We don’t expect this selling pressure to abate anytime soon, especially as the lockup expires and more insiders…
