As China tightens its lead in battery production, the U.S. faces roadblocks, tariffs, policy shifts, and import dependence. Can the U.S. close the gap? Will cheaper lithium help or hurt the industry? The answers could shape the next wave of the global clean energy shift. Lithium Prices Hit 3-Year Lows Amid Oversupply and Trade Tensions In April 2025, lithium prices plunged to their lowest in over three years due to an oversupplied market and escalating…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK stock market may have bounced back strongly from the tariff-induced sell-off last month, but there are still plenty of quality stocks offering impressive dividend yields. Dividend sustainability One rule I never break is that I won’t buy a stock simply on the basis of a blockbuster dividend yield. Yields north of 10% particularly make me nervous. In my experience, such headline-grabbing returns almost never last. Indeed, more often than not, they are a sign of a distressed company. One stock that I continue to give a wide berth to is Vodafone. The only…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Tesco (LSE: TSCO) shares hit the skids in mid-March. And by the time the UK’s biggest supermarket chain posted full-year results on 10 April, we were looking at a 20% fall from February’s 52-week high.

Behavioral finance concepts like loss aversion and goal framing may seem basic, but they remain essential tools for understanding how clients will actually behave, especially under stress. Financial advisors recognize that “know your client” is more than a regulatory requirement. It means understanding not just time horizons and return targets, but the emotional narratives behind the numbers. Two clients might share the same objective — say, retiring at 60 — but respond very differently when markets turn. One sees…
