The financial influence of women is accelerating—but many firms are still using outdated models to serve them. Financial institutions that take the time to understand and support women investors thoughtfully are gaining both new assets and longer-term relationships. Women in the United States are expected to control an estimated $30 trillion in financial assets by 2030—a major realignment in asset ownership driven by demographic, economic, and social shifts. This transition is not abrupt or surprising. But some of the approaches companies are taking for success in managing female wealth are. To begin, why the rise of female wealth? It’s the…

Stocks—especially dividend stocks—have every reason to shoot higher from here. In fact, they have 7 trillion reasons. That’s how much Americans have parked in money-market funds. But a chunk of that is about to shake loose. When it does, I see it piling into top dividend payers (and growers)—including the three we’ll discuss below. Before we get to that, the chart above is worth a look. Starting last summer, pre-election fears sent investors piling into money-market funds, pushing assets past $7 trillion. Then something strange happened: They pulled cash out of these funds after the “Liberation Day” tariffs were announced.…

China’s electric vehicle juggernaut appeared to be easing in Europe but last month new data showed the lull was short-lived. Momentum has sharply shifted again—this time back in favor of Chinese automakers—leaving the likes of Renault and Stellantis facing renewed pressure. In the top five European markets of Germany, France, Britain, Spain and Italy, Chinese brands had a market share of 6% in May, including ICE, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV, while it has accelerated to 11% just in the EV segment, investment bank UBS said in a report. Both outcomes were more than double the result for May 2024.…

Accenture’s stock dipped almost 7.5% to $285 per share last week after the company reported a decline of 6% in its new bookings at $19.7 billion in Q3 2025.

While Accenture saw weakness in its new bookings for the second consecutive quarter, the…

Trump Media Stock is back to its starting point once again. Virtually all the gains are gone from the pre-merger January 2024 announcement low of about $17.50. The stock has tested that level twice: last September when selling lockups expired, and this April when tariff worries peaked. But the current drop is different. Below are the daily and weekly stock charts for the 18-month period. They show the optimistic price rises and the intervening declines. Why Didn’t The Previous Highs Hold? Trump Media stock has traded far above its fundamental valuations because of President Donald Trump’s involvement as the majority…

Luxury fashion, renowned for its quality and craftsmanship, has a well-defined niche in the clothing and accessories industry. Companies like Hermès and LVMH have a loyal consumer following, providing timeless designs and an element of exclusivity. However, with the growing demand for affordable, high-quality knockoffs, fast fashion poses a serious challenge to luxury brands. Offering convincing replicas at a fraction of the cost attracts consumers who want the look of high-end fashion without the premium price. With social media-conscious Gen Z and Millennials driving consumer trends, platforms like TikTok and Instagram give fast fashion a marketing edge. Constant exposure to…

Key News Asian equities were mostly higher as investors celebrated the tentative Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement, which removes a significant risk factor to energy shipments, which Asian nations tend to rely on heavily.
