They actually charge 132 pips for CFD trading on US stocks. Honestly, that almost borders on criminal, or is that normal? For comparison, I also opened an account with IG, but their cost structure is not entirely clear to me. For a similar trade falls at

Driven by AI demand, China on track to pass US as top nuclear energy producer

China is expected to overtake the United States as the world’s nuclear power leader, as the AI boom and war in the Middle East renew a global push for reliable energy sources, according to a new report. While the US maintained the world’s largest operational fleet of nuclear reactors, China now accounted for nearly half of all those under construction globally and was expected to match American capacity within five years, Gavekal Technologies said on Monday. “By a wide margin, China will have...

Why Iran Attacked Israel and Then Backed Off

Iran’s military central command has announced a halt to its strikes against Israel, declaring it had delivered a "painful response" to Israel over strikes on Beirut's Dahiyeh district -- but warned that any continuation of Israeli aggression would bring "far more intense and crushing" retaliation. The announcement on June 8 came shortly after US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that "both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate cease-fire," adding that final negotiati

Pentagon blacklist raises spectre of investment curbs for Chinese tech firms

The Pentagon’s expanding blacklist of Chinese companies is increasing reputational risks for some of the country’s biggest technology firms and raising the prospect of future restrictions on access to US investment, according to legal experts. In a Federal Register notice scheduled for publication on Wednesday, the US Department of Defence designated a broad group of Chinese companies as “Chinese military companies” under Section 1260H of the National Defence Authorisation Act.

UN slams ‘unacceptable’ US sanctions causing child deaths in Cuba

Tighter US sanctions on Cuba have led to a spike in infant mortality and plummeting survival rates for child cancer patients, the UN warned in one of its strongest rebukes of Washington’s pressure campaign against the island. US President Donald Trump’s push to force change in Cuba by cutting off almost all fuel shipments to the government is depriving the nation of 10 million people of access to water, food and healthcare, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said on Monday in a...

Is Trump calling the shots on Israel, or just pretending to?

Scepticism is rife about US President Donald Trump’s claims to have reprimanded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu over recent military escalations with Lebanese Hezbollah and Iran despite ceasefires negotiated by Washington. While Netanyahu’s apparent defiance is widely seen as an embarrassment to Trump, analysts say the mercurial US leader has done little more than wag his finger at his ally. In his latest interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid for US website Axios on...

With the ‘Indo-Pacific’ label losing its lustre, China has an opportunity

Beyond the diplomatic choreography of last month’s Xi-Trump summit, what are the structural implications of a less confrontational US-China relationship for the Asia-Pacific? The subsequent visits by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to India and US Secretary of Defence Peter Hegseth to Singapore in late May shed some light on the question. Both Rubio and Hegseth had accompanied Trump to Beijing. Perhaps most telling was the switch in the usage of a geographic term by the US administration. In..

Trump’s forced-labour tariffs put Southeast Asia in the firing line

Southeast Asia’s extensive supply chains could be disrupted if it faces planned US tariffs over Washington’s accusations of forced labour in 60 economies, as analysts say the proposal is just a way for President Donald Trump to resurrect his trade levy agenda. Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam are among the economies flagged by the US for purportedly failing to prevent goods made with forced labour from reaching its market.

Who’s calling the shots? Netanyahu and Trump at odds over their war

Israel’s latest strikes on Lebanon and Iran have made clear that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who started the war in lockstep, want different things. Trump had publicly warned Israel not to strike Beirut in its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. When it did, on Sunday, Iran responded by firing ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire. Israel then struck Iran, with which Trump has been engaged in weeks of...
