• Earlier this week, China formally restricted rare earth element exports and imposed sanctions on certain shipping companies, heightening global trade tensions and disrupting critical mineral flows.

• Energy Fuels stands out with its U.S.-based rare earth assets and capabilities, drawing heightened attention as governments seek to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on Chinese exports.

• We’ll examine how Energy Fuels’ role as a U.S. rare earth supplier amid rising U.S.-China tensions could influence its investment outlook.

To own shares of Energy Fuels, an investor must see value in its ambition to become a leading U.S.-based supplier of rare earth oxides and uranium as Western countries prioritize secure critical mineral supply chains. While China’s new export restrictions have driven short-term interest, the most immediate catalyst for the stock remains execution on rare earth production expansion at White Mesa. The biggest risk is still the company’s heavy reliance on third-party feedstock and uncertainty around advancing its own mining projects; this news does not immediately resolve supply chain challenges.

One recent announcement directly tied to this theme is Energy Fuels’ qualification of high-purity neodymium-praseodymium oxide for use in electric vehicle motors, achieved at its White Mesa Mill. As Western automakers and governments seek alternatives to Chinese materials, achieving this production milestone could support Energy Fuels’ push to gain offtake deals or policy support, both of which are central to unlocking further upside.

By contrast, investors should be aware that Energy Fuels’ rare earth business still faces supply bottlenecks of its own, with no guaranteed feedstock from its early-stage projects and…

• In the past week, Robert Half was recognized by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Employers for 2025, an accolade based on an independent survey of more than 300,000 employees across 50 countries that measures satisfaction, culture, and global reputation.

• This global recognition underscores Robert Half’s continued investment in employee well-being and its reputation as an employer committed to professional and personal growth opportunities.

• We’ll examine how Robert Half’s global employer recognition could shape its investment narrative by highlighting employee-focused strengths and culture.

Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 22 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

To be a shareholder in Robert Half today, you have to believe that its reputation as a top global employer translates into long-term competitive advantages, especially as the biggest short-term catalyst remains a sustained recovery in hiring demand, while persistent pressures on revenue and margin are still the biggest risks. The recent Forbes World’s Best Employers award is a boost for the company’s employer brand, but it is unlikely to materially shift the near-term outlook given ongoing headwinds in the core business.

Among recent announcements, Robert Half continues consistent quarterly dividends, with the most recent payout of US$0.59 per share, reinforcing its focus on rewarding shareholders, even through a period of weak revenue trends. This dividend consistency may offer reassurance for some investors as they weigh the potential impact of new accolades on the company’s fundamental recovery story.

In contrast, investors should be aware of persistent revenue declines and the risk that…

An “exciting milestone” has been reached in the development of a new medical testing centre set to open this year.

All 13 modular units which will make up the building of the community diagnostic centre at the Camborne Redruth Community Hospital have been delivered and connected.

NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly said internal work was now underway to complete the fit-out ahead of the facility opening to patients.

Susan Bracefield, chief nursing officer of NHS Cornwall, said: “We are excited to be opening another new community diagnostic centre for Cornwall, as part of our continued investment in delivering more services closer to people’s homes, something we know local people really value.”

She added the centre would mean more patients would benefit from faster diagnosis, shorter waiting times, and improved access to treatment.

Once operational the community diagnostic centre would provide:

• X-rays, MRI and CT scans
• Blood tests (phlebotomy)
• ECGs and respiratory checks
• Endoscopy services

Geoff Searle, chief executive of InHealth, added: “This is an exciting milestone in the South West CDC programme.

“Expanding this model of healthcare in the South West will bring real benefits to local patients, improving health outcomes through greater access, capacity and choice.”

NHS Cornwall said the hospital site already had strong public transport links but would see an additional 22 new parking bays to ensure easy and convenient access for patients and visitors.

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit you can no longer join our Club or pick up a Penguin, as the lunchbox favourites have reduced the amount of cocoa in their recipe so much they are now only “chocolate flavour”.

The two snacks, both made by McVitie’s, changed their recipes earlier this year amid soaring cocoa prices – which have prompted manufacturers to try a number of different tactics to keep prices down.

Club and Penguin can no longer be described as chocolate biscuits as they contain more palm oil and shea oil than cocoa, as first reported by the trade journal The Grocer.

“We made some changes to McVitie’s Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals,” the McVitie’s owner, Pladis, said in a statement.

Club’s classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: “If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club.”

The company already had other snacks that can only be described as “chocolate flavour”, including flavours of Mini BN and BN Mini Rolls.

“We’re committed to delivering great-tasting snacks while minimising the impact of rising costs on consumers, adjusting formulations only when necessary,” Pladis said.

Cocoa prices have soared after poor harvests in the key growing regions of Ghana and Ivory Coast over the past three years, amid extreme temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns driven by the climate crisis.

The added cost has prompted manufacturers to use a number of tactics, from making bars and biscuits smaller to reducing cocoa content in an effort to keep the prices paid by shoppers down.

Last year prices more than doubled and went on to hit a record of close to $11 (£8.20) a kilogram in January. However, in recent months they have eased back amid positive news about this year’s harvest and reports of lower demand as manufacturers and shoppers switch to alternatives or reduce consumption.

KitKat White and McVitie’s white digestives can no longer be marketed as “white chocolate” products as they do not contain a minimum of 20% cocoa butter – although these recipes changed before this year.

The old favourite Wagon Wheel has long been described as “chocolate flavour” as its coating does not meet the level of cocoa to be described as chocolate.

A spokesperson for Nestlé, which makes KitKat, said: “We regularly review our recipes to balance quality, affordability, and sustainability. Like every manufacturer, we’ve seen significant increases in the cost of cocoa over the past years, making it much more expensive to manufacture our products.

“As always, we continue to be more efficient and absorb increasing costs where possible. To continue to offer shoppers great value, it is sometimes necessary to adjust recipes of some of our products. Retail pricing is at the discretion of individual retailers.

“The ‘coating’ description on KitKat White is accurate and compliant to describe the ingredients used in the recipe. There are currently no planned changes to KitKat product descriptors given existing recipes.”
