Revisaron también la caída de las tecnológicas asiáticas, con el Nikkei perdiendo -4% y el Taiex -6,5%, y su impacto en SoftBank, que más que una acción de semiconductores funciona como un vehículo apalancado sobre OpenAI. Cerraron con el reporte corporativo de Alcoa, empresa productora de alúmina y aluminio que presentó ingresos récord por el aumento en los precios del aluminio, aunque su negocio de alúmina sigue en pérdidas.

Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan spent over six hours giving sworn testimony to the Madlanga Commission on Monday — and his argument cuts straight through the mythology around General Ntlantlam Mkwanazi. O'Sullivan says the man hailed as a rare whistleblowing cop has in fact been part of the problem since 2012, when he unlawfully unsuspended Richard Mdluli on what O'Sullivan says were Jacob Zuma's instructions — then covered it up for eight years. A whistleblower, he told the commission, needs clean hands. He also argues Mkwanazi's balaclava-clad press conference of July 2025 was timed to deflect from the arrest of seven senior crime intelligence officers two days earlier. Also today: Ramaphosa's cabinet reshuffle delivers one jaw-dropping own goal — Dina Pule, found guilty of persistent dishonesty by Parliament, now controls R300bn in social grants. And South 32 shares jump 10% as Alcoa commits $5.5bn to South African industrial assets.
US stock indexes closed higher on Tuesday, supported by strength in the technology sector and easing inflation risks. The S&P 500 gained 0.8%, while the Nasdaq 100 rose 1.7%, and the Dow Jones added 136 points to close at a record high of 52,319. Chipmakers extended their rebound as investors looked past recent concerns over stretched AI-related valuations, encouraged by strong guidance from semiconductor producers despite elevated hyperscaler spending. Nvidia gained 2.6%, AMD rose 7.7%, and Intel advanced 6%. Meanwhile, oil prices remained near pre-conflict levels, easing concerns that the Federal Reserve could be forced into a hiking cycle. The softer inflation backdrop also supported traditional sectors, helping the Dow outperform broader benchmarks in June. Considering Q2, the S&P rose more than 14% and the Nasdaq surged about 20%, their strongest quarterly performances since Q2 2020. The Dow gained more than 12%, its best quarterly performance since Q4 2022.SPI up 8 - Gold holds above $4000 - S32 sells aluminium assets to Alcoa for US$5.8bnMarcus Today – Daily Market Insights Marcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma, Evren Ozkaya welcomes Rajeev Kumar, Vice President at Biological E. Limited, a leading vaccine manufacturer and CDMO. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience across pharmaceutical manufacturing, supply chain management, and digital excellence, Rajeev shares his perspective on the evolution of the Indian pharmaceutical industry and the growing importance of quality, compliance, and digitalization.The conversation begins with Rajeev reflecting on how pharmaceutical manufacturing has changed since he entered the industry in the late 1990s. He explains that early pharmaceutical production focused heavily on antibiotics and APIs, where processes were comparatively straightforward and compliance requirements were less demanding. As the industry shifted toward vaccines, biologics, and other complex therapies, manufacturers faced significantly greater expectations around batch validation, data integrity, and audit readiness.Evren and Rajeev then explore the competitive advantages that have helped India become a global pharmaceutical powerhouse. While lower labor costs and large-scale manufacturing capabilities have historically contributed to India's success, Rajeev argues that the industry's strength today extends beyond cost leadership. He highlights India's growing expertise in producing complex biologics and vaccines at scale, supported by a highly skilled workforce and strong engineering capabilities.The discussion then turns to digital transformation and its role in improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs. Rajeev explains that for advanced products such as mRNA vaccines and biologics, reproducible processes are essential. Monitoring yield, quality, and operational performance in real time requires digital technologies that support consistent execution and data-driven decision-making. He notes that while India continues to maintain cost advantages, future competitiveness will increasingly depend on talent, innovation, and manufacturing excellence.In the second half of the conversation, Rajeev provides a practical introduction to ALCOA+, one of the foundational frameworks for pharmaceutical data integrity. He explains the principles of Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate data, along with the additional requirements that data must be Complete, Consistent, Enduring, and Available. Rajeev demonstrates how technologies such as electronic batch records, digital logbooks, e-signatures, automated data collection, IoT connectivity, and cloud-based systems help manufacturers satisfy these requirements while improving operational efficiency.The discussion highlights an important connection between compliance and productivity. Rajeev explains that high-quality, automated data not only supports regulatory requirements but also enables better decision-making across manufacturing operations. As a result, investments in digital technologies often create benefits that extend far beyond compliance alone.Finally, Evren and Rajeev examine the future of digitalization in pharmaceutical manufacturing. While many companies still rely heavily on paper-based processes, Rajeev believes manufacturers must adopt digital transformation strategies that align with their level of digital maturity. Looking ahead, he suggests that as regulatory expectations continue to evolve, technologies such as digital logbooks and electronic batch records may become increasingly necessary—and potentially mandatory—for maintaining compliance and meeting future GMP requirements.Evren and Rajeev conclude their insightful conversation by emphasizing that quality, compliance, and digital transformation are becoming inseparable. As pharmaceutical manufacturing continues to advance toward more complex therapies, organizations that combine strong data integrity practices with modern digital technologies will be best positioned to achieve both regulatory excellence and operational performance.

Why do logically sound change programmes still fail? Why do employees agree in the meeting, applaud the strategy and then return to old habits? In this leadership interview, Niels Brabandt speaks with Dr. Michael Gerharz about how leaders communicate so people actually act. Dr. Michael Gerharz explains why logic is necessary but insufficient, why persuasion often creates resistance and why resonance is far more powerful for leaders who want genuine commitment. Together, Niels Brabandt and Dr. Gerharz discuss the difference between corporate language and meaningful communication, the role of costly signals, the Alcoa example under Paul O'Neill and the danger of relying on charisma without creating genuine understanding. This episode is essential listening for executives, founders, senior managers, HR leaders, communication professionals and transformation leaders who need people to act on strategy, AI initiatives, restructuring, innovation projects or organisational change. Key topics include leadership communication, change communication, resonance, persuasion, costly signals, charisma, technical communication, strategy communication, AI transformation and how leaders can move people from agreement to action.

The Penn State Nittany Lions face recruiting uncertainty as three Class of 2027 commits—Jamir Dean, Zachary Gleason, and Samajay Robinson—explore offers from Georgia, West Virginia, and Virginia. With agents, NIL deals, and aggressive rivals now the new norm, Penn State's ability to retain top talent like Dean, a dynamic wide receiver prospect from Alcoa, Tenn., is under serious threat. How will the Nittany Lions counter the lure of UGA and big-money NIL offers? Hosts Zach Seyko and Brian Smith break down Penn State's all-in strategy with its "Super Bowl" official visit weekend, where nearly every commit and several top targets, including Khalil Taylor and Deshawn Hall, converge on campus. The conversation spotlights the high-stakes NIL landscape, Nebraska's desperate spending, and whether Penn State's focused approach can secure crucial commitments. Can Matt Campbell's culture-driven pitch and peer pressure from committed players keep the Nittany Lions' 2027 class intact?

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael sits down with Brian Fielkow to discuss his new book, Making Safety Happen, and why safety leadership belongs in the boardroom rather than the basement. Brian brings a compelling perspective shaped by his transition from corporate law to executive leadership, and he makes a powerful case for why safety is not a compliance checkbox but a core business principle with measurable impact on profitability, culture, and competitive positioning. Key Takeaways Safety is a C-Suite Imperative. Brian argues that safety must be led from the top of the organization. When it is delegated solely to a safety department, it loses the executive authority needed to drive real cultural and operational change. Safety Drives Business Value. Organizations that embed safety into their culture attract value-aligned customers, improve employee retention, and build a meaningful competitive advantage. Brian draws on Paul O'Neill's transformation of Alcoa as a landmark example of how safety leadership can simultaneously improve human outcomes and business performance. Compliance and Safety Are Not the Same Thing. Using the Tracy Morgan crash as a case study, Brian illustrates how an organization can be fully legally compliant and still be fundamentally unsafe. True safety is about systems and processes, not simply the absence of incidents. Frontline Expertise Is an Untapped Asset. Both Michael and Brian emphasize the value of involving frontline employees in risk assessment and process design. Brian shared how his former logistics company had truck drivers author their own process manual in plain language, dramatically improving comprehension and adherence. Safety and Growth Can Coexist. Organizations do not have to choose between scaling and maintaining a strong safety culture. With the right systems and leadership commitment, safety becomes an accelerant rather than a constraint. About Brian Fielkow Brian Fielkow is a seasoned executive, attorney, and author with deep experience leading organizations where safety is operationally and culturally central. His book, Making Safety Happen, is written for leaders at all levels and covers leadership roles, employee engagement, process implementation, accountability, and organizational resilience. The book is structured to be used as a practical reference, complete with actionable ideas and checklists, rather than a cover-to-cover read.

We cover 10 big stories on the Energy News Beat Stand Up - The deal has no signatures, and we are running low on oil, gas, and diesel inventory levels within weeks. 1. Iran Nuclear Deal & Middle East TensionsThe podcast opens with discussion of a pending Iran peace deal involving a 60-day memorandum of understanding (MOU) to extend a ceasefire and restart negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. Key concerns include whether Iran can be trusted, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and conflicting narratives between Iran and the Trump administration about shipping restrictions.2. Oil Market Dynamics & PricingWTI crude at $89 and Brent at $94.82Analysis of why oil prices dropped despite the unsigned Iran dealDiscussion of inventory levels running critically low, with predictions that prices could spike to $150-160 for Brent and $110 for WTI once inventories hit bottomThe role of Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) releases in mitigating price increases3. Strait of Hormuz Shipping & Tanker TrafficCoverage of commercial shipping through the critical chokepoint, including VLCC (Very Large Crude Carriers) and LNG tankers heading to China and India, with concerns that only 2 tankers passing through versus the normal 20 per day signals serious disruption.4. China's Oil Market Re-entryDiscussion of China drawing down its strategic reserves and the potential shock when China returns to buying oil again—potentially driving prices significantly higher due to the current 9 million barrels per day supply deficit.5.

In This Episode Many entrepreneurs dream about scaling a business—but Charlie Gindele actually built one by combining hard work, leadership, and disciplined systems. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Charlie Gindele, entrepreneur, author, and business coach, about his remarkable journey from contractor to building a $425 million home improvement business. Charlie shares how he recognized a unique market opportunity in Southern California, left a successful corporate career at Alcoa, and built a business from the ground up through persistence, structured processes, and continuous implementation. Adi and Charlie dive deeply into the importance of systems as businesses grow. Charlie explains that early on, he realized he could not scale if every decision, installation, or process depended solely on him. Instead, he slowed down long enough to teach, train, document, and standardize operations—creating repeatable systems that allowed the company to expand efficiently while maintaining quality and consistency. The conversation also highlights one of Charlie's core philosophies: ideas alone are not enough. He emphasizes that implementation is what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who stay stuck. Through training systems, process mapping, employee accountability, and continuous communication, Charlie built an organization where employees understood not only their individual responsibilities but also how their roles contributed to the company's larger success. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that systems are not static—they evolve as businesses grow. Charlie explains that companies must continually improve processes, integrate technology, and invest in training if they want to scale profitably and sustainably over the long term.

In this episode, Cory Connors welcomes Predrag Ozmo to discuss the sustainability story behind Ball Corporation — the world's largest aluminum packaging manufacturer, producing more than 100 billion cans per year. Predrag shares his background growing up in Serbia and his early career at MiTeCo, a metal recycling company, before joining Ball in 2019. He explains why aluminum is often called an "energy bank" — a truly circular material that can be recycled endlessly, with up to 95% energy savings versus primary production. Predrag walks through Ball's climate transition plan and its 2030 and 2050 goals, the decarbonization pathways for primary aluminum (hydropower, inert anodes, and the ELYSIS breakthrough), the growing importance of recycled content, and the innovative partnerships that are bringing refillable and first-of-their-kind aluminum packaging to market.Key Topics Discussed:Predrag's journey from metal recycling at MiTeCo in Serbia to sustainability leadership at Ball CorporationBall Corporation's scale as the world's largest aluminum packaging manufacturer (100+ billion cans per year)Aluminum as a circular, infinitely recyclable "energy bank" materialThe 95% energy savings achieved when aluminum is recycled versus primary productionBall's climate transition plan and 2030 / 2050 sustainability goalsDecarbonization of primary aluminum through hydropower, inert anodes, and the ELYSIS technologyThe role of recycled content in reducing packaging's carbon footprintBall's partnership with Meadow for refillable soap and shampoo in aluminum bottlesBrazil partnership with Sofie and Aeroflaks on the first ASI-certified aluminum aerosol canUnilever and Alcoa's ELYSIS pilot as a model for low-carbon primary metalThe 10–15 year vision for aluminum packaging and the circular economyWhy aluminum's infinite recyclability makes it a long-term sustainability winnerResources Mentioned:Ball CorporationELYSISAluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI)Meadow (refillable aluminum personal care packaging)Contact:Listeners can learn more or reach out to Predrag directly:LinkedInBall CorporationThank you for tuning in to Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors!Support our Sponsors Learn more here:⁃www.3M.com/sustainablepackaging⁃https://www.specright.com/Connect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

We hebben het over een advies van de Amerikaanse zakenreus Morgan Stanley. Dat zegt dat beleggers meer in cash én Amerikaanse staatsobligaties moeten. Over aandelen zijn de Amerikanen minder enthousiast geworden: wereldwijd verlagen ze hun advies voor aandelen. De analisten van Morgen Stanley sorteren voor op langdurige gevolgen van de Iran oorlog en kijken naar de meer veilige havens. De Amerikanen denken dat (als de olieprijs hoog blijft) er een flinke correctie kan plaatsvinden, eentje van maar liefst 25 procent. Over olie en rampspoed gesproken: president Trump dreigt om de Iraanse olieproductie in te nemen. Of om die totaal te vernietigen en dat allemaal binnen een paar uur. Ondertussen lijkt het beleggers niet echt te boeien, want de beurs herstelt weer wat. Verder hoor je deze aflevering meer over een truc van muziekreus Universal Music Group. Dat scoort maar niet op de beurs, maar daar heeft het nu wat op gevonden. Het gaat geld uitgeven aan... zichzelf! Ook hoor je meer over een topman van een AEX-bedrijf. Hij krijgt in totaal 30 miljoen van zijn bedrijf, terwijl de beurskoers niets is gestegen maar juist gedaald. Tot ergernis van de VEB. Te gast: Justin Blekemolen, beleggingsspecialist bij LYNX BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML.

Interview with Dennis Lindgren, CEO of Black Bear MineralsRecording date: 10th December 2025Black Bear Minerals (ASX:BKB) has completed a strategic transformation from lithium explorer to focused North American precious metals developer, acquiring the Shafter Silver Project in Texas for A$30 million whilst advancing the Independence Gold Project in Nevada. This repositioning positions the company at the intersection of exceptional resource grades, existing production infrastructure, and America's growing recognition of critical mineral supply vulnerabilities.The flagship Shafter Project hosts 17.6 million ounces at 289 grams per tonne silver in foreign resource estimates, ranking amongst the ASX's highest-grade silver resources. CEO Dennis Lindgren, formerly with South32 and Alcoa, emphasises the infrastructure advantage: "It's one of the highest grade silver projects on the ASX. It comes with about 150 million in estimated infrastructure and that includes existing underground workings, existing core sheds as well as historical data." This existing infrastructure—including underground workings, mill circuits, and processing facilities operational until 2013—potentially compresses development timelines by years compared to greenfield competitors.Near-term catalysts centre on JORC-compliant resource conversion targeted for the second half of 2026, supported by A$17 million working capital allocated for drilling programmes. Recent rock chip sampling has returned exceptional grades exceeding 3,000 g/t from near-surface areas outside the current resource footprint, whilst historical stockpile evaluation reveals grades averaging over 300 g/t, suggesting previous operators may have applied inappropriate cutoff grades or overlooked valuable mineralization.Beyond silver-focused historical operations, Black Bear's technical review has identified multicommodity potential including zinc, lead, vanadium, and gold across multiple locations. Lindgren noted: "We're picking up really good levels of zinc and lead that we would consider as targets to go forward with." This creates potential by-product credits that could materially improve project economics whilst expanding exploration vectors beyond current silver-equivalent resource calculations.Silver's designation as a US critical mineral fundamentally alters the strategic context surrounding domestic production projects. America produces approximately 30 million ounces annually whilst consuming over 210 million ounces—importing roughly 85% of requirements despite the metal's critical status for national security and economic competitiveness. Lindgren articulated the supply-demand imbalance: "Having another US domestic asset that can actually supply into those markets we think is something that's very attractive particularly with it being critical now."Jurisdictional advantages strengthen Black Bear's development pathway. Texas ranks within the top five global mining jurisdictions with 20% tax rates, partial permitting already in place, and strong community support in Presidio County. Proximity to major Mexican silver operations ensures access to experienced workforce and established supply chains.Portfolio diversification comes through Independence Gold Project in Nevada, hosting 419,000 ounces of near-surface heap-leachable gold at 0.4 g/t and 980,000 ounces of high-grade skarn mineralisation at 6.67 g/t. The company recently completed 5,000 metres of drilling exceeding planned programmes, with assay results expected in early 2026.Management's measured approach prioritises resource definition and JORC compliance over premature production planning, appropriate given recent acquisition timing. However, the infrastructure leverage and critical mineral designation create optionality for accelerated development should commodity fundamentals, government support, or strategic partnerships materialise. Investors should monitor JORC conversion progress, drilling results from both projects, and infrastructure assessment studies as key milestones determining whether Black Bear can validate its high-grade silver thesis and capitalise on structural supply deficits facing American consumers.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

My guest for Episode #326 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Dr. William Harvey, a manufacturing executive and university professor whose career is defined by developing people, strengthening systems, and driving organizational excellence. A proud U.S. Marine, William carries forward a deep tradition of service and leadership. He also serves as the chair for the 2026 AME International Conference in Milwaukee, hosted by the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME). EPISODE PAGE WITH VIDEO AND MORE William shares a powerful early-career story about a mistake that taught him lasting lessons about trust, humility, and psychological safety. When he accidentally derailed a customer order by taking home the wrong document, he feared the worst. Instead, his manager's calm and compassionate response—and a customer's extraordinary effort to make things right—changed how William thought about leadership forever. Over time, William applied those lessons to how he leads teams and builds culture. He believes that leaders go first—by admitting mistakes, showing vulnerability, and creating space for others to experiment, fail, and learn. Through daily coaching cycles and methods like Toyota Kata, he helps people develop confidence in problem solving and take ownership of improvement. His goal: to build a workplace culture rooted in trust, respect, and continuous learning, where every person feels safe enough to speak up and strong enough to lead. Key Lessons & Themes: Why trusting your team is critical to avoiding unnecessary errors How supportive leadership responses turn mistakes into growth moments The connection between psychological safety, continuous improvement, and Toyota Kata How to “go first” as a leader—admitting your own mistakes to build trust The link between physical safety and psychological safety in world-class organizations What leaders can learn from Paul O'Neill and his “zero incidents” mindset at Alcoa

First Dollars & Early Hustle: At 12, worked illegally at a supermarket in Germany, later launched a Santa Claus business delivering gifts (and family messages!) on Christmas Eve. Early work taught the value of money, the realities of management at all levels, and why people must create and be paid for value. Mindset Developed by Adversity: Father died at age 10, grew up with a strong sense of self-reliance and urgency to earn. Immigrant family background; learned that “money is freedom” and that every dollar earned created options. Time spent with East German relatives instilled the lesson that money only matters if it can actually buy value. Spiritual & Emotional Energy: Foundation in faith (Protestant roots) was a crucial “anchor” through hard times and later in life. Dr. Kleinfeld's new book, Leading to Thrive, stresses the four types of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Advocates for not shying away from love, gratitude, and faith even in the corporate world—even if those topics are often taboo at the boardroom level. Career Guidance & Advancement: Career wasn't about status, but about maximizing freedom and value creation. The path to more money: “Money comes in exchange for creating value—become indispensable and you'll gain negotiating power.” Focus less on salary and more on skill acquisition; become a self-starter and continually improve. Key mantra: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Life is too short to waste in situations without progress or fulfillment. Overcoming Fear and Stagnation: Don't let fear (False Expectations Appearing Real) keep you “stuck”—analyze the true risks, and realize that most bad outcomes never materialize. Lessons from high performers: It's about energy management (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), not mere time management. Embrace continuous experimentation and agile adjustments—failure is just feedback and learning (Edison paradigm: every failed attempt is progress). Legacy and Regret: Biggest regrets from those at the end of life: not being truer to themselves and not choosing happiness sooner. See happiness as a daily, conscious choice, not something to seek only at the end. Dr. Kleinfeld's Actionable Advice: Focus on increasing your value to others—money follows value. Regularly reassess: “Love it, change it, or leave it.” Invest in managing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy. Don't let fear dictate your story—break it down and act despite uncertainty. Read and learn from others (“Books condense a lifetime into a few hours—take the shortcut!”).
