Xpansiv, a global provider of market infrastructure for environmental commodities, is teaming up with the Korea Exchange (KRX). They will launch a Korean Carbon Credit Market together. The initiative will offer a trading platform for several types of credits. This includes voluntary carbon credits, Article 6 credits from the Paris Agreement, and credits linked to compliance systems like CORSIA. This partnership is a big step for South Korea. It has run its own national Emissions Trading System (K-ETS) since 2015. It’s also significant for Xpansiv, which operates the largest spot carbon exchange in the world. Together, they aim to bring…

As we edge towards the final quarter of the year, tariff-induced volatility shows no signs of letting up. Earlier this month (September), in fact, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO), warned that US trade-weighted average tariffs have jumped from 2.4% to 18.4% since the beginning of this year. It’s a sobering statistical change and one that highlights the severity of the shock currently hitting global commerce – a shock with particularly destabilising consequences for trade finance. For banks, all of this volatility is a big red flag: cross-border deals suddenly look riskier – particularly for SMEs or…

Image source: Getty Images Not all dividend stocks are created equal. Some deliver impressive headline yields, while others quietly keep increasing payouts year after year. Lately, I’ve favoured high-yielders such as wealth manager M&G, that offers a bumper income of 7.85% a year. I’ve typically shunned income stocks with low yields, even those with a long track record of rewarding shareholders with annual dividend increases, like these two FTSE 100 dividend superstars. Now I’m having a rethink. Halma keeps hiking payouts First up is global health and safety technology specialist Halma (LSE: HLMA). It has a modest trailing yield of just…
Image source: Getty Images Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are two of the hottest tech stocks in the market right now. Over the last six months, they’re up 105% and 77% respectively. Looking ahead, both of these companies appear to have tremendous growth potential given their innovative AI-related products and services. However, here’s why I’m not buying stock, or at least not yet. Palantir’s generating unprecedented growth Palantir’s no longer a company that can be ignored. On the back of the success of its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) – which allows private and public organisations to build, deploy,…

Image source: Getty Images Ocado (LSE: OCDO) shares have to go down as my worst buy. Not just because they’ve performed so badly, but because my thinking was wrong from the start. When I bought the grocery delivery and robot tech warehouse specialist, the stock had already fallen 85% in five years. I convinced myself that made it a bargain. In reality, I’d grabbed the ultimate FTSE 100 falling knife, which is now nestled in the FTSE 250 and making my Self-Invested Personal Pension look messy. There was a moment of hope when the shares spiked 50% in July, trimming…
Image source: Getty Images Owners of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock just got an intriguing update. In partnership with the UK government, the company announced that a massive artificial intelligence (AI) chip cluster will be built on these shores. The numbers involved are large, as is the way with Nvidia’s announcements these days. AI factories with up to 120,000 of its Grace Blackwell Ultra GPUs will be deployed across UK data centres by 2026, powering initiatives like OpenAI’s Stargate UK project in Northumberland. This build-out will cost upwards of £11bn. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Nscale (a UK-based AI infrastructure company) will construct the…
Image source: Getty Images Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) shares now give investors the second biggest dividend yield on the entire FTSE 100, at just over 9% on a trailing basis. That’s an absolutely stellar rate of income, roughly double what’s on offer from a best buy instant access account. Only housebuilder Taylor Wimpey pays more. There’s also the prospect of capital growth on top if the Legal & General share price rises. It’s a brilliant combination, and I personally hold the insurer in my own Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). So why isn’t every saver piling into the stock and filling their…
