Markets underpricing potential Burnham win over Starmer, analysts say

Published by Sam Flores

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham. Leon Neal | Getty Images News | Getty Images Andy Burnham, the frontrunner to overthrow U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, abruptly cancelled a call aimed at placating investors nervous about his potential policy mix on Monday, the FT reported. Burnham — who is not yet a sitting member of the U.K. parliament — will run in the June 18 by-election in Makerfield, north-west England. If he wins the seat, he is widely expected to launch a formal challenge to usurp Starmer’s position. Starmer’s premiership has been under intense pressure following a crushing defeat for the ruling Labour Party in the U.K.’s local elections. Political instability and Burnham’s bid to return to Westminster has sent jitters through the U.K.’s government bond market in recent weeks, amid expectations that he would be a tack to the left from Starmer and ramp up borrowing. The U.K. has the highest borrowing costs in the G7, with yields on its long-term gilts trading well above the critical 5% threshold. d’ title=”Interactive or visual content” class=”flourish-embed-iframe” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=’no’ style=”width:100%;height:600px;” …

Potential Offshore Strike In Norway Could Add Fresh Uncertainty To Global Energy Markets As Wage Talks Collapse

Potential Offshore Strike In Norway Could Add Fresh Uncertainty To Global Energy Markets As Wage Talks Collapse

Published by Jenni Sidey

By Michael Kern of OilPrice.com A potential strike over wages could threaten smooth operations offshore Norway, Western Europe’s top oil and gas producer, at a time when the world is scrambling for oil and gas supply amid the Middle East crisis. Almost 8% of oil and gas workers offshore Norway could go on a strike from June 5 if trade union negotiations with industry fail to reach an agreement in a government-brokered mediation process, according to data from the labor unions on Monday. More than 600 workers out of about 8,100 in total offshore Norway could begin a strike later this week, Reuters reported on Monday, citing the office of the government-appointed mediator. Negotiations between the offshore industry and the workers organized in the Styrke, Lederne, and Safe trade unions continue. At the end of last week, talks between Offshore Norway, which represents the oil industry in the wage talks, and the unions broke down. Offshore Norway and the trade union Styrke held negotiations on May 27 on the onshore base agreements, which cover approximately …

Your TV’s RS-232 port is a versatile automation tool – how to unlock its full potential

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Most TV ports go unnoticed once everything is plugged in — except perhaps HDMI and USB. But for advanced users, the RS-232 serial port can be a powerful tool for fine-tuned home theater and smart device control. Also: I found 7 low-cost ways to make my TV sound a lot better (even without a soundbar) With some patience and more than a little know-how, you can create a fully automated home entertainment system with timed content, simultaneous broadcasts to multiple rooms, and even diagnostic testing.   What is an RS-232 serial port, and what does it do? Take a peek at the back of your TV, and you may see — among the familiar HDMI and USB connections — an odd 9-pin port that doesn’t match any cable you have in the house (and may look familiar if you used a printer back in the 1990s). This is your TV’s RS-232 serial port, normally reserved for connecting professional calibration and diagnostic tools.  Technicians …

Doctor Who TV movie director on potential Paul McGann spin-off

Doctor Who TV movie director on potential Paul McGann spin-off

Published by Daniella Wilson

Doctor Who TV movie director Geoffrey Sax has said he would be open to returning to the franchise for a potential Paul McGann spin-off series. McGann made his debut as the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 TV movie, which was originally intended as a potential pilot for a new series. While that full TV revival did not materialise at the time, McGann’s Doctor has retained a devoted following over the past 30 years, with fans continuing to call for the actor to be given his own full-fledged spin-off or miniseries. Interest in McGann’s Doctor was only heightened by his surprise return in 2013 minisode The Night of the Doctor, which finally showed the Eighth Doctor’s regeneration and helped cement the incarnation’s place in modern Doctor Who mythology. Asked whether he would be open to being involved in any future McGann-led project, Sax told Radio Times: “I would absolutely be open to being involved.” He added: “I’d love to. I’d love to work again with Paul. I think now, 30 years on, especially with this renewed …

Wall Street follows world stocks higher, crude prices ease on potential US-Iran truce extension

Wall Street follows world stocks higher, crude prices ease on potential US-Iran truce extension

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK, May 29 : U.S. stocks followed world shares higher and crude prices retreated on Friday as investors neared the end of a holiday-shortened week with renewed hopes of progress toward a peaceful resolution to the Iran war. A narrow, tech-led rally lifted all three major U.S. stock indexes to modest gains, and Treasury yields dipped as markets prepared to turn the page on a week and month marked by a tug-of-war between fears that air strikes could shatter a fragile truce and signs that Washington and Tehran are moving closer to the negotiating table. The S&P 500 is poised to notch its ninth straight weekly gain, its longest winning streak since December 2023. All three indexes are set to register monthly advances. Even so, the indexes had pared from session highs as the closing bell drew near. “This administration watches the markets and they like to do big things when the markets are closed to control the messaging before the market has a chance to react,” said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at …

Senate Republicans Cast Doubt on a Potential Peace Deal With Iran

Senate Republicans Cast Doubt on a Potential Peace Deal With Iran

Published by Sam Flores

Senate Republicans cast doubt on the viability of a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran over the weekend as President Trump doubled down in support of his administration’s negotiations to end the nearly three-month-old war. U.S. and Iranian officials have described an emerging framework that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and in which, U.S. officials say, Iran would commit to disposing of its highly enriched uranium. Iranian officials have also said that nuclear matters would be negotiated within 30 to 60 days. “It doesn’t make too much sense to me,” Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Mr. Tillis called the Iranians’ commitment to reopening the Strait of Hormuz “questionable” without a finalized peace deal, adding that “there are a lot of things that need to be explained.” On Saturday, Senator Roger Wicker, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote on social media that a “60-day ceasefire — with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith — would …

Iran Projects Victory in Potential Deal With Washington

Iran Projects Victory in Potential Deal With Washington

Published by Sam Flores

As President Trump and regional diplomats began to herald the possibility of a deal with Iran that could end the war, the spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry responded with his version of a history lesson. Esmail Baghaei, the spokesman, posted an image on social media of a famous relief carved into an archaeological site in Iran that portrays a Roman emperor bowing in submission to a king of the Sassanians, an ancient Iranian empire. “In the Roman mind, Rome was the undisputed center of the world,” Mr. Baghaei wrote, in an apparent reference to the political and military might of Washington today. “The Iranians shattered that illusion.” Despite the military and economic battering Iran has endured during its war with the United States and Israel, its leaders are casting the reported terms of a possible preliminary agreement with Washington as a victory. On Sunday, a senior U.S. official said that the United States and Iran had agreed to a preliminary deal that would fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and see Iran dispose of …
