US stocks closed sharply higher on Thursday, with the S&P 500 rising 1.8%, the Nasdaq gaining 2.5%, and the Dow Jones climbing 930 points. Investor sentiment improved amid a pullback in oil prices after President Trump cancelled strikes against Iran after earlier threatening "very hard" attacks tonight.

Further support came from a rally in technology shares as investors positioned themselves ahead of SpaceX's expected IPO tomorrow. Micron and AMD soared 11% and 8%, respectively, while Lam Research added 12.7% and Intel jumped over 10% after being upgraded by BofA on soaring CPU orders.

US stocks finished higher on Thursday after a volatile trading session, as renewed hopes for a potential US-Iran agreement to end the conflict pushed oil prices lower for a third consecutive day. The S&P 500 gained 0.2%, the Nasdaq edged up 0.1%, and the Dow Jones rose 276 points to close at a fresh record high. Reports indicated that Iran said the latest US proposal had partly narrowed the gap between the two sides, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio pointed to “some good signs” that a deal could be reached. The decline in oil prices supported broader market sentiment. Utilities led the gains, followed by consumer discretionary and materials, while consumer staples and energy lagged behind. Investors also digested earnings results from NVIDIA (-1.8%), which failed to impress the market. Meanwhile, Walmart fell more than 7% after warning that persistently higher fuel costs could weigh on its business. In contrast, Apple rose 0.9%, Amazon gained 1.3%, and Eli Lilly advanced 2.2%.SPI up 35 - Long weekend in US - ARU cap raise—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

US equities extended their decline on Tuesday as a continued selloff in US Treasuries, driven by inflation concerns tied to the war in the Middle East, pressured investor sentiment. The S&P 500 finished 0.7% lower, the Nasdaq closed down 0.8% while The Dow shed more than 300 points, or 0.6%. AI infrastructure companies continued their correction after soaring this month, previously supported by bumper earnings and ambitious guidance. Speculative long positions propelled AI infrastructure stocks higher in the period, prompting a pullback in risk sentiment and a cautious outlook by Seagate to spark a sharp pullback. Seagate sank 10% so far this week. Hyperscalers also fell with Amazon, Tesla, and Meta dropping up to 2% on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Dominion energy sustained its surge from the previous session and NextEra Energy bounced from sharp losses following NextEra's $67 billion acquisition of the former, the largest ever in the power sector.SPI down 39 - Resources under pressure - JHX results - Nvidia in focus—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today in our fifth installment of the Everything SPI series, I am joined once again by Andrew Megas-Russell, the Climbing Instructor Program Manager of the AMGA, to break down the significant updates to the Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) exam that went into effect on January 1, 2026. The changes are designed to standardize and strengthen consistency across the country.We explore the transition to a more standardized exam format, specifically the new 35-minute technical drill for top-managed skills and the updated instructional assessment component. Andrew explains the rationale behind moving away from volunteer mock clients in favor of a peer-based instructional model. This shift aims to foster richer professional development and allow for more complex teaching topics.Additional topics in this episode include: Updated Résumé Requirements, Additional Resources and FAQs, and Tips for Success for SPI candidates.
US equities were mixed, with tech outperforming losses in broader sectors as faster inflation weighed against the ongoing AI rally. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rose more than 0.5% while the Dow fell 200 points. Producer inflation surged more than expected in April, both for energy-exposed goods and non-energy services, to show that the impact of the war in the Middle East on prices has spread past direct fuel costs onto the broader economy. This coincided with a fresh increase in refined fuel prices this week amid the continued blockade of tankers in the Persian Gulf. Still, strong earnings prospectives from AI software and hardware producers continued to carry stock indices since the Q1 earnings season. Hyperscalers were higher premarket after SoftBank unveiled soaring gains from its private OpenAI stake.

Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla were down more than 1% while Nvidia and Apple turn positive. Chip and memory producers also declined as South Korea mulled establishing a universal dividend for the recent surges in AI infrastructure stocks, pressuring Broadcom and AMD to fall 2%.

US stocks rose on Monday, rebounding from a subdued start to the session, as the S&P 500 added 0.2% and the Nasdaq gained 0.1% to reach fresh record highs, supported by a strong rally in chipmakers amid continued optimism over AI-driven demand.

Investors were also turning their attention to an expected summit later this week between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.SPI up 13 - Gold firms - Oil jumps - Budget in focus.—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

Neste episódio, Ricardo fala sobre KPIs (Key Performance Indicators - Indicadores-Chave de Desempenho). Ele explica que os KPIs são métricas essenciais que apoiam a tomada de decisões em projetos, ao contrário das métricas gerais que apenas reportam dados. KPIs eficazes ajudam a antecipar problemas, agilizar decisões e alinhar equipes e stakeholders. Exemplos para desempenho de cronograma incluem a porcentagem de tarefas concluídas no prazo, a duração prevista versus a duração programada, o SPI (Índice de Desempenho do Cronograma) e o atraso médio por entrega. Para custo, o CPI (Índice de Desempenho de Custo) e a variação de custo medem a eficiência. Além de cronograma e custo, KPIs estratégicos são essenciais, como taxa de retrabalho, valor entregue, aderência ao plano de negócios e satisfação dos stakeholders, pois os projetos podem atingir as metas de tempo e orçamento e ainda assim falhar. Ricardo recomenda usar alguns KPIs significativos, acompanhar tendências, atualizá-los frequentemente e evitar métricas superficiais que não orientam as decisões. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

Kultúrna redaktorka Jana Močková pripomína príbeh busty Cecílie Gonzagy, ktorý začal vedeckým výskumom Marty Herucovej, tá dielo identifikovala v zbierkach Spišského múzea ako možný originál od Donatella. Osud diela následne poznačil nečakaný prevoz pod dohľadom Lukáša Machalu a taliansky posudok, ktorý bustu označil za falzifikát z 19. storočia. Aktuálne je dielo vystavené v Levoči v rámci expozície, ktorá však ignoruje pôvodný slovenský výskum a stala sa symbolom napätia medzi odbornou obcou a ministerstvom kultúry.
Předseda poslanecké sněmovny nedávno prohlásil, že T. G. Masaryk byl přítel přímé demokracie. Tak se pojďme podívat, co o plebiscitu prezident myslel a říkal.

Slovenská hokejová extraliga má za sebou základnú časť a už v stredu je na programe kvalifikácia o postup do play-off. Do novej časti podcastu Trefné strieľanie si Patrik Mitas (redaktor Slovenskej televízie) a Martin Toth-Vaňo (redaktor ŠPORT.sk) pozvali hokejistu Rastislava Gašpara a prebrali s ním nadchádzajúce série medzi Spišskou Novou Vsou a Michalovcami, Liptovským Mikulášom a Zvolenom, barážové tímy Trenčín s Prešovom či víťaza základnej časti Nitru.
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, SPI managing editor Liam Garman sits down with James Nelis from The Nelis Group to discuss how elite sport discipline and having a champion's mindset build a powerhouse property portfolio. Nelis, a former semi-professional Australian Football League (AFL) player, draws on 15 years of experience in elite sport to show how discipline, strategy, and resilience drive successful property investing. Similar to training, Nelis champions the "one percenters" approach, proving that tiny, consistent actions compound into major property wins. A key takeaway from Nelis' strategy is "sequencing versus timing," encouraging investors to focus on their stage in the financial journey while using a "Moneyball"-style approach to let data guide, not dictate, their investment decisions. Nelis also warns investors against overcommitting, recalling a period of over-leveraging during rising interest rates to stress-test financial limits. He also stresses the need to manage ego and emotion to avoid short-term market swings from derailing long-term plans, while building a diversified portfolio in which each property serves a clear purpose for sustainable growth.

C dans l'air du 4 février 2026 - Jusqu'où ira le scandale ? Les secousses de l'affaire Epstein ont des répercussions aux États-Unis, mais aussi en Europe. Six ans après la mort en prison du prédateur sexuel, la justice américaine a publié vendredi dernier plus de trois millions de nouveaux documents issus de l'enquête le visant. Des millions de fichiers qui demandent du temps pour être analysés, triés entre courriels incriminants et simples mentions d'un nom, mais qui révèlent déjà ou confirment les liens entre le criminel sexuel et de nombreuses personnalités du Vieux Continent… Et ce, même après sa première condamnation en 2008. Au terme d'un plaider-coupable, le milliardaire avait alors écopé de plusieurs mois de prison pour « racolage » de mineures.Royauté, dirigeants politiques, figures économiques ou du monde de la culture… La liste n'épargne aucune sphère du pouvoir, ni aucun pays. Parmi ces personnalités, plusieurs noms français sont notamment cités dans ces documents. On découvre ainsi que Jack Lang, l'ancien ministre de la Culture, a fait des affaires avec Jeffrey Epstein. Les e-mails révèlent une réelle proximité entre eux. La fille de Jack Lang, Caroline, a, elle, cofondé une société offshore dans les îles Vierges avec Jeffrey Epstein. L'ancien ministre de la Culture a déclaré lundi à l'AFP assumer « pleinement les liens » qu'il avait pu créer avec Jeffrey Epstein, « à une époque où rien ne laissait supposer qu'il pouvait être au cœur d'un réseau de criminalité ». Caroline Lang, de son côté, a confié à Mediapart avoir fait preuve d'une « naïveté confondante » et a démissionné du poste de déléguée générale du Syndicat de la production indépendante (SPI), où elle venait d'être nommée.Au fil des millions de pages, le nom de Marine Le Pen ressort indirectement. Selon un mail d'un journaliste adressé à Jeffrey Epstein en 2018, on apprend ainsi que l'ex-stratège de Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, a rencontré Louis Aliot, alors compagnon de Marine Le Pen, pour évoquer le « refinancement » du Rassemblement national (RN). Apparaissent également les noms de Bruno Le Maire, Cédric Villani, de l'ex-conseiller diplomatique de Nicolas Sarkozy Olivier Colom, ou encore du chef d'orchestre Frédéric Chaslin.La simple mention du nom d'une personne dans le dossier Epstein ne suppose néanmoins aucun acte répréhensible a priori de sa part. Mais ces révélations font vivement réagir. À l'Assemblée nationale, La France insoumise a proposé la création d'une commission d'enquête transpartisane sur l'affaire Epstein.La publication de cette nouvelle masse de documents a également provoqué une cascade de réactions et de démissions en Europe. La famille royale norvégienne se retrouve aussi sous le feu des critiques, après la publication de correspondances entre la future reine de Norvège et Jeffrey Epstein. Au Royaume-Uni, le prince déchu Andrew est sous le coup de nouvelles révélations, tandis que l'ex-ambassadeur et ancien ministre Peter Mandelson a, lui, démissionné du Parti travailliste. Selon des documents des dossiers Epstein publiés vendredi, Peter Mandelson aurait transmis des informations sensibles au financier américain, notamment lorsqu'il était ministre dans le gouvernement travailliste de Gordon Brown, de 2008 à 2010.Nos experts :- Christophe BARBIER - Éditorialiste politique, conseiller de la rédaction - Franc-Tireur - Virginie VILAR - Grand reporter à Complément d'enquête - France Télévisions, réalisatrice de l'enquête Les derniers mystères de l'Affaire Epstein- Audrey GOUTARD - Grand reporter - France Télévisions, spécialiste des faits de société- Richard WERLY - Éditorialiste international - Blick.ch, auteur de Cette Amérique qui nous déteste- Marie BILLON ( en duplex) – Correspondante à Londres - RTL
Think you had a busy month but didn't move the needle? We unpack why progress often feels invisible and how to make it tangible by changing small behaviors that create big ripples. This solo cast stitches together January's standout insights on culture, pressure, change, influence, and feedback—then turns them into simple moves you can apply within 24 hours.We start with a hard truth from Bill Benjamin: your culture is revealed under pressure. When stress spikes, untrained emotional intelligence drops, shortcuts sneak in, and safety evaporates. We walk through practical ways to slow your cadence, protect standards, and keep access to reality. From there, Hugh Thomas reframes change as identity work, not a project plan. People grieve loss—of familiarity, status, and confidence—so leaders must acknowledge loss before asking for alignment. Expect clear prompts you can use to surface the real obstacles and rebuild commitment through honesty rather than false certainty.Next, Salvatore Manzi brings a candid reminder: good intent does not equal good impact. Influence lives in how you're received. We break down presence, pacing, and listening as the levers that lower threat and help your message land. Then we move into the Lead Better series on YouTube, where we de-risk feedback with brain-based insights and practical tools. You'll learn the micro yes to gain permission, the calibrate reality step to align perceptions, the SPI model to deliver clarity without judgment, and the close-the-loop move to lock agreements. Structure beats good intentions when trust is on the line.We close by turning reflection into action: give one real piece of feedback you've been avoiding, run one alignment conversation about “what good looks like,” or remove one piece of interference holding your team back. Leaders who win the year don't do more; they do what matters, more consistently. If these ideas hit home, subscribe, share with a leader who's ready to level up, and leave a quick review telling us which action you'll take today.Send us a textSupport the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!
How patient design and ideological diversity are reshaping food productionAshley sits down with Ryan Blosser and Trevor Piersol, co-founders of Shenandoah Permaculture Institute and authors of Mulberries in the Rain, to explore permaculture beyond the stereotype of backyard herb spirals. We discuss what sets permaculture apart from regenerative agriculture, the evolving demographics of people drawn to food production, and how ideological diversity from left-wing environmentalists to conservative land stewards strengthens the movement.We dive into the practicalities of perennial systems, why comfrey matters more than you might think, and the often-overlooked messiness of annual vegetable farming. Ryan and Trevor challenge permaculture dogma around native plants and invasive species, sharing our own experiences with bamboo and autumn olive. We also discuss Ryan's innovative farm-based education program that integrates Virginia's K-12 curriculum standards with food production and how it's showing promising results for student achievement while producing thousands of pounds of organic food for the community.As the discussion turns philosophical, we explore what "doomer optimism" really means: preparing for an uncertain future not out of fear, but because building local food systems, land relationships, and community resilience are inherently fulfilling. We examine land access challenges, the psychology of sustainable living, and why relationships, especially those forged across ideological lines, may be our most valuable resource as we face systemic change. Perfect for anyone interested in permaculture, regenerative agriculture, education, and building meaningful alternatives to industrial food systems.The Shenandoah Permaculture Institute teaches practical, hands-on permaculture with a focus on building healthy, resilient communities. Co-founded by Ryan Blosser and Trevor Piersol, along with Dr. Ted Butchart and Emilie Gooch Tweardy, SPI offers Permaculture Design Courses and workshops that blend ecological knowledge with human-centered design. Their mission is to equip communities with the tools and strategies for health and resilience, from soil to self.@shenandoahpermaculturehttps://www.shenandoahpermaculture.com/
