[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Glencore (LSE: GLEN) share price has had a torrid time as of late. So far this year it’s lost a quarter of its value and is down 40% in a year. Tariffs might be hitting global stock markets, but I think most investors are missing a trick here as tariffs are likely to be very beneficial to this commodities trader. Copper prices surging Last Monday (31 March) copper prices in the US surged to an all-time high. In 2025, the price of the red metal in the US is up 25%. However, on the…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I wonder if 2 April will go down in investing folklore? It’s the day President Trump revealed his sweeping import tariffs. And it kicked off a share price rout the following day that made a lot of our favourite dividend shares look even more tempting. I say rout, as that’s what the headlines suggest. The FTSE 100 is down 115 points at the time of writing, about 1.3%. And it’s still up 7% over 12 months. 10% dividend yield Some big dividend shares fell harder, with Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX) losing 4.9% as I…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images BP (LSE: BP) shares are once again in the thick of it, plunging almost 6% this morning as markets absorb Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs. Could this be an opportunity to snap up the FTSE 100 oil and gas giant at a reduced price? Lots of things are falling today, including the oil price itself. Brent crude has slumped almost 5% to $70 a barrel, with traders on edge as the world enters unchartered waters. If global trade slows, as most expect, demand for oil could slide, and BP’s price may follow. With so much…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images We’re seeing massive volatility in the stock market across the pond today (3 April). As I write, many US holdings in my Stocks and Shares ISA have opened lower as fear about a global trade war/recession grips Wall Street. The S&P 500 is down nearly 4%! With this in mind, here are two stocks in my portfolio that I’ve got my eye on for different reasons. One because I’m worried about it due to tariffs and the other because I’m tempted to invest more money in it. Is Toast toast? The first one is Toast…
[ad_1] Molten iron pours from Boston Steel’s electrical reactor – credit, Boston Steel, screengrab An MIT-startup has found a way to commercialize steel production by the ton using electricity rather than a CO2-emitting blast furnace, promising the beginning of decarbonization in one of humanity’s most carbon-intensive industries. Called Boston Metal, their industrial-scale production facility can make a ton of steel per month using a technique called molten oxide electrolysis (MOE), which if powered by renewable energy would suddenly make the process a carbon-neutral one, since MOE produces oxygen, not CO2, as emissions. Human civilization produces around 2 billion tons of…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images. It has been an incredible few years for shareholders in Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR). It went public in 2020 at $10 a share, ending its first trading day below that price. Since then, Palantir stock has surged 817% — including 272% over the past year alone. Does that mean the stock might be a bubble – or could things get even better from here? Should I consider adding the firm to my portfolio? Strong business performance may power on The price has surged but in part that reflects a booming business. Since its last full year…
[ad_1] Wall Street’s fear gauge is close to signaling a bear market, according to DataTrek Research. The CBOE Volatility Index topped the 29 level on Thursday in a sign the stock sell-off will continue unless volatility abates from here. Typically, a reading above 20 indicates elevated fear and uncertainty in the market, according to Nicholas Colas, the firm’s co-founder. “The CBOE Volatility (VIX) Index is on the verge of signaling an outright bear market in US stocks, implying further downside from even tonight’s post-tariff announcement levels,” said Colas in a note to clients. “All is not lost, but volatility needs…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Aston Martin (LSE: AML) share price should come with parachute as standard. It’s plunged 60% in a year and 90% over five years. The shares have been hurtling to earth ever since floating at £19 in October 2018. Today, they cost just 70p. That’s a loss of more than 96%. Few companies have a rockier history. Aston Martin went bust seven times after being founded in 1913. The latest incarnation has only been kept on the road by emergency fundraising rounds and cash injections from billionaire Lawrence Stroll. He’s now pumped in around £600m…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Investors holding Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock were laughing teacakes — or at least mince pies — at Christmas. Shares of the electric vehicle (EV) pioneer were up by a whopping 227% in two years — and 116% in just two months! Yet the wheels have come off, so to speak. As I write, the stock is down 42% since Christmas Eve, meaning a £10,000 investment made then is now worth just £5,800 on paper. Bah, humbug! But is this merely a chance to consider investing in Tesla at a massive discount? Let’s dig in to…
