Published on 16/06/2026 – 13:52 GMT+2 Wall Street’s most famous market label may be outdated. The ‘Magnificent 7’ or ‘Mag 7’ defined the first phase of the AI rally, as it included Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla, but a fresh grouping is now circulating among investors keen to capture its next leg. In the wake of SpaceX’s blockbuster listing, analysts are looking to add Elon Musk’s company, as well as OpenAI and Anthropic, which are expected to IPO later this year, to a new market label. Coined by the British financial firm Vanda Research, the ‘FAB 10’…
Forget rooftop pools and pillow menus, some of Europe’s coolest hotels are now competing on sound. From vinyl-only listening bars in Athens to audiophile cocktail lounges in London, a new wave of design-led hotels is turning music into the main event, transforming lobbies, restaurants and basements into immersive spaces built around analogue sound, curated DJs and intentional listening. Across the continent, a new generation of hotels are focused on providing more than just a place to stay, integrating music-led programming into their offerings, inspired by an increasing number of travellers enjoying musical experiences across their trips, including in the dining…
Macron encouraged his counterpart to stay longer in France, to which Zelenskyy responds that he “need[s] to go to Brussels on the 18th,” the date of a European Council summit focusing on Ukraine’s European accession. The two leaders also discussed a G7 session dedicated to Ukraine, which included Trump. Zelenskyy’s warm reception contrasts sharply with that granted to Trump on Monday. Instead of a planned welcome from Macron on the red carpet, Trump was greeted by the Elysée Palace’s head of protocol. The Elysée declined to comment, but according to a person close to the French president, Macron was in…
The European Parliament voted on Tuesday to adopt the EU-US deal struck last summer by US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland. The final greenlight needed to implement the agreement comes as Trump threatened on Monday to impose tariffs on French wine and champagne if Paris did not remove its digital tax on US Big Tech. However, Trump’s latest threats of a trade war with EU countries did not prevent lawmakers from approving the deal. Four hundred and fortyMEPs voted in favour, 151 against, and 50 abstained in the vote on the…
The Milan-based bank launched its bid valued at €35 billion ($40.6bn) in early May to gain control of its German rival and cement its status as a European heavyweight. UniCredit’s offer officially ends Tuesday at 11:59 pm (2159 GMT), unless extended. On Monday, the Italian bank hailed the fact that it had exceeded the 30 percent threshold it had set for this takeover bid. The offer price is widely seen as too low, but it marks the latest move in UniCredit’s continued pursuit of Commerzbank, which has drawn strong opposition from the lender and several German politicians. If the offer…
The first seaplane flight between Greece and Albania, operated from Ioannina to Vlorë, marks the start of a new model of connectivity in the Mediterranean. The Hellenic Seaplanes mission is the first air link between two southeast European countries using a seaplane and is regarded as a milestone in developing a broader network of maritime air services in the Ionian and Adriatic region. The initiative follows an official invitation from the Albanian authorities and forms part of a broader framework of cooperation for the development of seaplane infrastructure and new cross-border transport corridors. Its aim is to connect coastal cities,…

Die vier Unterzeichner gehören zu den größten Industrieunternehmen Europas und haben zusammen einen Börsenwert von über 100 Milliarden Euro. Der Brief ist einer der bislang deutlichsten Appelle der Industrie an die EU, ihren Kurs in der Klimapolitik zu ändern. Er spiegelt die wachsende Unzufriedenheit über die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Netto-Null-Ziele der EU wider. Die EU verfolgt eine der ehrgeizigsten Klimapolitiken weltweit. Kritiker mahnen, dass europäische Unternehmen deshalb gegenüber Regionen mit weniger strengen Umweltvorgaben – etwa den USA und China – an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit verlieren. Das ETS sieht für emissionsintensive Branchen wie Stahl, Zement, Chemie und Stromerzeugung eine schrittweise sinkende Emissionsobergrenze vor. Die…
