U.S. stock index futures pointed to a weaker open on Tuesday, extending a two-session pullback as losses in technology stocks weighed on sentiment. Ahead of the session, S&P 500 futures were down 0.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.3%, with investors focusing on a rise in long-dated Treasury yields. Treasury pressure intensified after the 30-year bond yield climbed to its highest level in nearly two decades, a move analysts attributed to persistent inflation concerns linked to the Middle East conflict, alongside heavy government borrowing and increased competition for capital. While recent economic data has reduced expectations for an imminent Fed…

Rivian Automotive shares have lagged the broader market trend this year, with the stock down 22% year-to-date and extending weakness that has persisted since 2023. The selloff comes even as the electric-vehicle maker prepares its next chapter around the R2, a battery-electric SUV that the company says could evolve into a key profit engine over time. Investors are watching Rivian for evidence that volume scaling can translate into improved margins and a more durable path to profitability—signals that are still emerging, but that have been partially supported by recent delivery and gross-profit swings.

The move underscores investors’ focus on token demand and supply dynamics, with the price still down sharply from its year-to-date peak.

The price action suggested traders are waiting for confirmation—either a defense of the near-term floor to support a rebound, or a breakdown that would extend the ongoing correction.

GCC asset managers added momentum in 2025, with total assets under management (AuM) reaching $2.7 trillion, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The figure represents a 10% increase from 2024 and adds to a decade-long conversation about how regional firms compete as fees come under pressure and technology reshapes investment operations. The report, published as part of BCG’s Global Asset Management Report 2026: An Imperative for Growth, also highlights an uneven growth pattern. Retail-focused offerings expanded faster than institutional assets, while distribution capability, technology transformation, and the adoption of artificial intelligence are increasingly framed as determining factors…
Dubai’s property market appears to be moving from an early, expectation-driven phase of price tension into a slower period of adjustment, according to an updated analysis by Property Finder. The latest read on buyer and seller expectations suggests the gap is narrowing again, but mostly through buyers dialing back how much they expect discounts, while advertised prices remain comparatively resilient. The signal matters for transaction dynamics because negotiations often stall when buyers and sellers anchor to widely different reference prices. When those anchors converge, deals can resume even if prices do not “reset” abruptly. Buyer expectation for price drops eases…
