Pound Defies Expectations With Calm Amid UK Political and Economic Upheaval

The British pound has emerged as an unlikely oasis of calm in a turbulent year for the UK, repeatedly wrong-footing traders who bet on the currency to weaken at the first sign of trouble. Markets appear to be giving incoming political figures, including Andy Burnham, the benefit of the doubt, helping underpin sterling's resilience through a period of political and economic upheaval.

Will the pound's stability last through the end of the year?

Cut broccoli an hour before cooking to boost its sulforaphane content

Cutting broccoli roughly an hour before cooking boosts the vegetable's sulforaphane content — a compound linked to anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Exposing the damaged cells to air triggers an enzymatic reaction that produces the beneficial compound before heat destroys the relevant enzyme during cooking.

Is it worth changing how you cook vegetables to improve their health benefits?

How sovereign wealth funds are investing in crypto assets

Sovereign wealth funds are entering the digital assets space primarily through regulated vehicles such as spot bitcoin ETFs, publicly listed companies with crypto exposure, blockchain infrastructure firms and venture capital funds. Direct ownership of bitcoin or other tokens remains rare, constrained by governance rules, custody requirements and political accountability. Only a handful of funds worldwide hold digital assets directly.

China Removes Car Brands from Official Lists — It's Not a Production Ban

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has removed several car brands from official registers, sparking industry panic and reports of a production ban on eight brands. In reality, removal from the register does not automatically mean a ban on manufacturing vehicles — the situation is more nuanced. The move is an administrative procedure, not a sudden shutdown of manufacturers.

Should China tighten regulations on weaker car manufacturers?
