Hedge funds increased bullish bets on Brent crude oil at the fastest pace in nearly a decade, according to Bloomberg Markets.

Research by Savills, shared with the Guardian, identifies the top 10 UK cities for first-time buyers based on property affordability, rent-to-income ratios, flat price-to-income ratios, and population growth. The index draws on Savills, Oxford Economics, and Land Registry data covering average second-hand flat prices to 2025, workplace earnings by local authority, and average monthly asking rents for one-bedroom flats to February 2026, sense-checked with the Centre for Cities thinktank. The article frames the rankings against a broader trend of graduates and young workers increasingly looking beyond London, where average first-home deposits have reached around £130,000 and rents continue to rise. Experts describe this as a gradual weakening of London's pull rather than a reversal. The cities ranked, with their average flat prices and flat price-to-income ratios, include: Stoke-on-Trent (£88,448 / ratio 2.5), Hull (£91,815 / ratio 2.7), Derby (£111,529 / ratio 2.9), Milton Keynes (£177,694 / ratio 4.3), Liverpool (£160,286 / ratio 4.4), Cardiff (ratio 4.8), Glasgow (£195,800 / ratio 5.0), and Norwich (£159,671 / ratio 5.0). For each city the article provides local employer information, popular neighbourhoods for renters and first-time buyers, lifestyle amenities, and commentary from local estate agents.

According to the New York Times, despite President Trump making accusations that China interfered in the 2020 U.S. elections, he is simultaneously pursuing a closer relationship with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Chinese officials, per the article, appear to interpret Trump's hostile rhetoric about China as motivated by domestic political considerations rather than as a reflection of his actual foreign policy intentions.

In this Guardian opinion piece, foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall argues that Donald Trump poses a greater danger to global stability than Iran, describing him as a "one-man weapon of mass destruction." Tisdall contends that Trump initiated military conflict with Iran without congressional authorization, allied consultation, or a clear strategy, and that repeated bombing campaigns have failed to achieve stated objectives including control of the Strait of Hormuz, elimination of Iran's nuclear program, or regime change. The article claims Trump was unprepared for Iranian retaliation against US Gulf bases and has struggled to find an exit from what Tisdall calls an unwinnable war of attrition costing over $100 billion and contributing to inflation. Tisdall draws parallels to Trump's handling of the Gaza ceasefire—which he says has produced no political progress and ongoing Palestinian casualties—and to Trump's Ukraine policy, characterized as pressure on Kyiv toward capitulation followed by disengagement. The piece argues that a June memorandum of understanding, which Trump publicly celebrated, contained terms effectively legitimizing Iranian control of the strait, and that Trump's subsequent attempts to reverse course have undermined US credibility with Tehran. Tisdall further contends the conflict benefits Russia and China geopolitically and damages the Western alliance. The article concludes by calling on the American public to check Trump's conduct and references the 2026 midterm elections.
Keywords: Iran conflict, Trump military policy, Strait of Hormuz, Geopolitics, US military spending
