Here’s another reason for Mayor Adams to have buyer’s remorse over his bromance with President Trump.The president’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” clawed back more than $100 million in grants that were promised to New York City to build a linear park on an abandoned transit right of way in Queens — a project championed by the mayor.Back in April, Streetsblog raised the specter that the Neighborhood Access and Equity grant was one of more than a dozen that House Republicans had put in the crosshairs. But the clawback of $111.9 million in unspent money out of an initial grant of…
The ascent of Rolls-Royce shares over the past three years has been nothing less than astonishing. A rise of 1,000% is something you’d expect to see from a whizzy Nasdaq stock, not a blue-chip engine maker from the FTSE 100. Looking ahead though, some question just how high Rolls stock can go. City analysts’ average 12-month price target is 985p, just below the current price. However, after gazing into their tea leaves, analysts are more bullish on the share price prospects of Trainline (LSE: TRN). The average target for this FTSE 250 tech stock is 415p — almost 55% higher than…
Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100‘s chock-full of stocks paying passive income. Today, I’m looking at two examples to consider buying. Both recently updated the market and offer seriously big (if never guaranteed) dividend streams for risk-tolerant Fool followers. Tepid trading Shares in housebuilder Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) are down 18% year-to-date. Not only does this performance leave a lot to be desired, it also drastically lags the index itself. But this slip also makes sense. The housing market isn’t exactly on fire and affordability continues to be an issue. Backing this up, the firm’s latest half-year reports contained…
Since personal loans are unsecured, banks are supposed to exercise due diligence before disbursing loan money to borrowers. Banks typically check the salary slips and the employment history of applicants to determine their creditworthiness. They also check whether the loan amount can be repaid easily in view of the salary indicated on the salary slips.Banks may typically allow upto 20 times of monthly salary to borrowers as personal loans. For instance, if someone’s monthly salary is ₹1 lakh, the bank may approve a loan of upto ₹20 lakh. To navigate this obstacle, some loan applicants in Dahod (Gujarat) were found…
When RMI surveyed carbon market participants over the past couple of years, the non-profit heard tales that will be familiar to anyone who has navigated the ecosystem’s confusing array of document and data types. Project developers reported spending up to 60 percent of their time dealing with requests for data. Buyers said due diligence could take as long as 18 months. In July, the organization unveiled its solution: an open-source framework designed to “bring structure to the vast universe of carbon credit data.” The potential benefits of RMI’s Carbon Crediting Data Framework (CCDF) are already evident in a pilot catalogue…
Luxembourg authorities are looking into possible wrongdoing tied to carbon-credit projects based in China that have been tapped by European companies to reduce their CO2 footprints. “The Prosecutor General’s office is currently investigating the matter,” a spokesperson at Luxembourg’s ministry of environment, climate and biodiversity told Bloomberg, declining to comment further. A spokesperson for Luxembourg’s public prosecutor’s office said the case concerns a complaint forwarded by the ministry in March and is “currently being processed.” The office hasn’t yet decided what action to take, the person said. Both the ministry and the prosecutor’s office declined to name the companies or…
By Saqib Iqbal Ahmed and Davide Barbuscia NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve’s decision to avoid signaling imminent rate cuts despite relentless political pressure underscores its prevailing caution and has forced investors to dial back expectations for an easing at the next policy meeting. The Federal Open Market Committee held interest rates on Wednesday in a split decision that gave little indication of when borrowing costs might be lowered. It also drew dissent from two Fed governors, both appointees of President Donald Trump who agree with him that monetary policy is too tight. The overnight policy rate controlled by the…

Young Americans can get a one-way ticket to the millionaire club by tapping into the power of compounding. It’s simple: you invest a small sum of money each month into a low-cost index fund.
