Mexico's government is negotiating an agreement with states in the north of the country to determine how much water they can send to the United States to help make up its shortfall under a treaty that has strained U.S. relations, President Claudia Sheinbaum said in a morning press conference Tuesday. The 81-year-old water-sharing treaty with the U.S. has prompted tariff threats by President Donald Trump. Under the 1944 treaty that outlines water-sharing between the two countries through a network of interconnected dams and reservoirs, Mexico must send 1.75 million acre-feet of water to the U.S. from the Rio Grande every five years.

Equity Insider News CommentaryIssued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.VANCOUVER, BC, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With gold recently breaking above $3,200 per ounce, major banks are revising their forecasts even higher—UBS now sees gold hitting $3,500, while Deutsche Bank is targeting $3,700. As economic uncertainty continues to escalate, gold's parabolic price action is drawing renewed attention from investors looking for safe havens and inflation protection. Many are turning to physical bullion and gold ETFs, but a growing number are also eyeing gold mining stocks, which can offer amplified exposure to rising gold prices. Amid this momentum, several gold-focused companies are generating fresh interest, including Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF), Integra Resource Corp. (NYSE-American: ITRG) (TSXV:ITR), GoldMining Inc. (NYSE-American: GLDG), Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX:FVL) (OTCQX:FGOVF), and Vox Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ:VOXR) (TSX:VOXR). Gold mining stocks have been steadily gaining ground alongside the precious metal's historic run. While large-cap miners have seen their stock prices pop off, several junior exploration companies are also making headlines with encouraging drill results that could signal major upside potential.Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF), an emerging East African gold developer, recently secured four new Mining Licenses at its Tembo Project in northern Tanzania, marking a major step forward in its development strategy."The approval of our Mining Licenses is a pivotal step forward for the Tembo Project," said Marc Cernovitch, President & CEO of Lake Victoria Gold. "We have always believed in the district-scale potential of this asset. With tenure now secured for the next 10 years, we can focus on evaluating the most efficient development options to unlock maximum shareholder value."Situated in Tanzania's well-known Lake Victoria Goldfield, Lake Victoria Gold's (LVG) flagship project has already attracted more than US$28 million in exploration investment, including the completion of 50,000 meters of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. This depth of historical work provides a robust technical foundation and positions the project with a meaningful head start compared to earlier-stage peers.The recent conversion of LVG's Prospecting License into four Mining Licenses represents a major step forward, significantly reducing regulatory uncertainty and paving the way for focused development planning. Each Mining License is valid for an initial 10-year term and includes an option for an additional 10-year renewal, offering long-term operational visibility.With extensive exploration data already in hand, the company has identified three high-priority targets within the Tembo Project area. These zones are showing encouraging gold grades and carry the hallmarks of potential resource growth as the project enters its next phase of advancement.At the Ngula 1 target, drilling has outlined a broad, mineralized corridor roughly 250 meters wide and extending at least 600 meters in length—open in both directions and at depth. This structural zone hosts multiple gold-bearing veins, with notable intercepts like 3.13 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 25.89 meters and an especially compelling interval of 22.18 g/t over 15 ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

U.S. stocks gyrated on Tuesday, as investors analyzed the latest batch of first-quarter earnings reports and enjoyed a recent decline in market turmoil.The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 106 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each slid 0.1%. The three averages are coming off back-to-back winning sessions.Tuesday’s muted moves were in stark contrast to the volatile swings seen in recent sessions. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), known as Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” fell below 30 after hitting a high of around 60 last week.Bank of America and Citigroup added more than 4% and 2%, respectively, after exceeding analyst expectations for the first quarter. Bank stocks as a whole provided upward momentum, with the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE) rising nearly 2%.Other major reports due this week include United Airlines and Netflix. Beyond earnings, Boeing shares slipped close to 2% after Bloomberg reported that Beijing ordered Chinese airlines not to take more of the company’s planes.Stocks received a tailwind into this week after guidance on Friday from U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed exemptions from “reciprocal” tariffs for electronic products such as smartphones, computers and semiconductors. Still, comments from President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday suggested these exemptions might only be temporary.Despite recent gains, the three major indexes are still clawing back losses seen in the wake of Trump’s original tariff announcement on April 2. The Dow and Nasdaq have each slid more than 3%, while the S&P 500 has dropped more than 4%.“The worst-case scenario is off the table,” said Larry Tentarelli, founder of the Blue Chip Daily Trend Report. But, “the problem is we could get a headline at any time and the market goes down 3%.”Market isn’t ‘out of the woods yet’ with volatility around tariffs, Piper Sandler says Stocks may be due for more chaotic moves with tariff uncertainty, according to Piper Sandler.“Technically, we are ‘not out of the woods yet,’ as we’d like to see the SPX recover its March lows and make another ascent toward its 50-/200-day MAs at around 5,750-5,800,” analyst Craig Johnson wrote in a Tuesday note. “Investors are returning to the equity market despite the crosscurrents in the macro picture.”“We expect investors to temporarily shift their attention to earnings and away from tariffs, allowing the macro picture to settle down in the upcoming weeks,” he continued.— Sean ConlonInvestor Josh Brown buys NetflixBeata Zawrzel | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesNetflix is the best stock to withstand an economic slowdown, according to buyer Josh Brown.“I actually think it’s the best stock in the market for this year,” the Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Halftime Report.”“That doesn’t mean I think it’ll go up the most, but I am not on the hunt for the hardest-hit stocks to try to bottom fish,” he continued. “I’m looking for resilience, because I think in a defensive bear market, that’s the number one quality of the stocks that by year-end will have performed the best.”Read the full story here.— Sarah Min ‘Rubber will have to meet the road,’ Mahoney Asset Management CEO saysWhile President Donald Trump’s pause on many of his tariffs lifted the market recently, Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management, still expects challenges ahead.“Big money may be looking to sell all rallies, as we still overall are in bearish conditions,” Mahoney told CNBC.Mahoney said the market is likely still trending downward, though that may not yet be apparent to investors.“At some point this rally will be tested and pullback,” he added. “That is where the rubber will have to meet the road to see the true trend of the market.”— Alex HarringGold miners hit highest level since 2012The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GLD) advanced 0.6% Tuesday, reaching its highest point since Nov. 2012.Some of the companies in the fund at new 52-week highs include Alamos Gold, AngloGold, Agnico Eagle and Endeavour Mining.The surge higher comes as gold prices have surged in 2025, due to a surge in safe-haven demand as President Donald Trump’s tariff policies spark uncertainty in the market.— Hakyung Kim, Gina FrancollaThe economy will stabilize going forward from here, says chief investment officerWhile lingering tariff uncertainty has taken stocks for a downward ride over the past few weeks, BMO Wealth Management’s chief investment officer believes the fundamental market backdrop still looks relatively solid.“Right now, I do think what we see is some strength in consumer ... we actually think consumer spending will hold up reasonably well,” Yung-Yu Ma said on CNBC’s “Money Movers” on Tuesday morning. “We actually think the environment going forward, after we’ve gotten through this rough patch, is reasonably stable.”The CIO added that the labor market may see some near-term softness, but will ultimately remain relatively healthy by summertime. Ma also believes investors are perhaps too pessimistic on their earnings revision for the upcoming earnings season.“I think there was some additional caution,” he said. “There were some revisions that were more based on uncertainty pulling down the revisions rather than actual commentary or economic data that was coming in.”— Lisa Kailai HanTrump has not ‘made a determination’ on raising corporate tax rate, White House saysWhite House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday indicated that Trump could be open to raising the corporate tax rate to help pay for cuts elsewhere.“I don’t believe the president has made a determination on whether he supports it or not,” Leavitt said when asked about the idea.The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted during Trump’s first stint in the presidency, is set to expire at the end of this year. Negotiations over extending or changing those policies are expected to be a prominent focus in Washington, D.C., in the months ahead.— Jesse PoundJamie Dimon urges Washington to engage with ChinaMike Segar | ReutersJamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., speaks to the Economic Club of New York in Manhattan, New York City, on April 23, 2024.JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon urged the White House to engage in negotiations with China before Trump’s trade war escalates further.“I don’t think there’s any engagement right now ... it doesn’t have to wait a year. It could start tomorrow,” he said in an interview with the Financial Times.His comment came after Trump excluded China in his 90-day pause of sweeping tariffs. China struck back with 125% tariffs on U.S. goods after Trump’s latest executive order boosted tariffs on Beijing to 125%, stacked on top of a combined 20% fentanyl-related tariff imposed in February and March.“We should be careful. I don’t think anyone should assume they have a divine right to success and therefore don’t worry about it,” Dimon said.— Yun LiShort-term market trend is to downside, Wolfe Research saysThe market could be in for more pain, according to Wolfe Research.“We continue to believe that the near-term trend is to the downside,” Chris Senyek, the firm’s chief investment strategist, wrote to clients Tuesday.Senyek said “peak fear” tied to Trump’s tariff policy rollout is likely now in the rearview mirror. However, he said to expect more uncertainty during the so-called pause on many levies for 90 days, as well as the continued trend of the market being sensitive to any updates on trade policy.— Alex HarringHealth-care stocks drag on marketShares of health-care names restricted the S&P 500 on Tuesday.The S&P 500 sector slid nearly 1% midday. By comparison, the broad index flickered around flat.Molina Healthcare and Zimmer Biomet led the index lower, with both dropping more than 3%.

The Trump administration has set up a situation where negotiating with multiple countries or multiple issues are going to take a couple of leads.

The reading was better than the -12.4 level forecast by Dow Jones.However, the general business condition index for expected activity six months ahead tumbled 20.1 points to -7.4.

GodspeedMicrosoft has announced six titles will be leaving the Game Pass library at the end of this month, headlined by Sniper Elite 5. The shooter originally launched in 2022 and showed that taking out Nazis from long range hasn't gotten old. The most recent entry in the series, Sniper Elite: Resistance, is still available on the service. Have a Nice Death will also be heading for the exits, too. The indie roguelite came out in March 2022 and has players assuming the role of Death. Unfortunately, Death's subordinates are out of control, so putting them back in their place is the name of the game in the side-scrolling action game.Two other notable titles on this list include The Last Case of Benedict Fox and Thirsty Suitors. The former is a metroidvania game focusing on the titular detective, while the latter mashes up turn-based flirting, skateboarding, and cooking. This combo comes together quite well, according to GameSpot's Thirsty Suitors review.Kona II: Brume and The Rewinder round out the titles leaving the subscription service later this month. Don't forget that Game Pass members can purchase all of these titles for 20% off until they leave on April 30.In addition, Microsoft is also adding new titles to Game Pass over the coming weeks, including Neon White tomorrow and 2022's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on May 1.

The first iOS 19 beta is less than two months away, and there are already a handful of new features that are expected with the update.Apple should release the first iOS 19 beta to developers immediately following the WWDC 2025 keynote, which is scheduled for Monday, June 9. Following beta testing, the update should be released to the general public in September.Below, we recap the key iOS 19 rumors so far.New Design With Floating Tab BariOS 19 is expected to introduce a new design that looks more like the visionOS operating system on the Apple Vision Pro headset.According to Front Page Tech's Jon Prosser, iOS 19 will have a glass-like appearance, with added translucency for menus, buttons, and other user interface elements. He also expects rounder app icons, and a new floating tab bar in Apple apps.Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also expects iOS 19 to have a visionOS-like design, and he believes the design changes will be the biggest since iOS 7.End-to-End Encryption for RCSLast month, Apple said that it plans to add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to the Messages app in future iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS software updates. That likely means iOS 19, macOS 16, and other corresponding updates.Apple promising end-to-end encryption for RCS messages indirectly confirms that it will be adopting the RCS Universal Profile 3.0 specification, which also includes several iMessage-like enhancements that were originally introduced in version 2.7 of the specification. iOS 18 supports RCS Universal Profile 2.4.Here are five new capabilities to expect for RCS conversations on iOS 19:End-to-end encryption, which will prevent Apple and any other third party from being able to read messages and attachments while they are being sent between devicesIn-line repliesEdit messagesUnsend messagesFull-fledged Tapback support for RCS messages, ensuring they always workiMessage conversations with blue bubbles have supported end-to-end encryption by default since iOS 5. In addition, iMessage has supported in-line replies since iOS 14, while the options to edit and unsend iMessages were introduced with iOS 16.Apple has not indicated which iOS version will upgrade RCS, but iOS 19 or a follow-up update like iOS 19.1 or iOS 19.2 seems like a safe bet.Live Translate With AirPodsAt least some AirPods models will be getting a new live translation feature with iOS 19 and an accompanying firmware update, according to Gurman.Here is how that feature will work, according to his report last month:The capability will work like this: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user's AirPods in English. The English speaker's words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone.Google already offers a similar Live Translate feature.He also said iOS 19 will have bolstered translation capabilities, which likely means improvements are coming to the Apple Translate app.Revamped Health App With Coaching FeatureA revamped Health app is expected to debut as early as iOS 19.4 next year.Apple plans to offer a new AI-powered health coaching feature that offers personalized health recommendations, according to Gurman. The information provided by the coaching feature would be accompanied by videos from health experts that inform users about various health conditions and ways to make lifestyle improvements. For example, if the Apple Watch tracks poor heart-rate trends, a video could explain the risks of heart disease.Food tracking will be another big part of the revamped Health app, which could compete with the MyFitnessPal app, according to Gurman.Personalized SiriApple recently delayed the more personalized version of Siri that it previewed at WWDC last year. The company said it anticipates rolling out the Siri upgrades at some point "in the coming year," so the features could launch as part of iOS 19 later this year, although they could also arrive as part of a later update, such as iOS 19.1 through iOS 19.4.Whenever they launch, the Siri upgrades will include understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, during its WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans based on info from the Mail and Messages apps.The more personalized Siri features will require an iPhone model that supports Apple Intelligence, so you will need an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, any iPhone 16 model, or any iPhone 17 model launching later this year.EU ChangesThe European Commission last month announced a long list of changes that Apple is legally required to implement in future iOS 19 and iOS 20 updates.The announcement clarifies interoperability requirements that Apple is required to adhere to in the EU, under the Digital Markets Act, which has been fully enforced since March 2024. The changes will further open up the iPhone and its technologies to competing companies and devices, and Apple is not happy about it. Here are some of the key requirements:Third-party smartwatches must be able to display and interact with iOS notifications by the end of 2025, which likely means iOS 19.2 or earlier.Apple must make its automatic audio switching feature available to third-party headphones by June 1, 2026, which likely means iOS 19.4 or earlier. This is the feature that allows most AirPods and select Beats to automatically switch connection between Apple devices, such as a Mac and an iPhone.Apple must make changes to iOS that allow for third parties to offer equivalent AirDrop alternatives by June 1, 2026.Apple must make changes to iOS that allow for third parties to offer equivalent AirPlay alternatives by iOS 20, or the end of 2026. iOS 20 is expected to be released to the general public in September 2026.The entire list of changes can be found on the European Commission's website.CompatibilityAccording to a reliable source of iOS-related information, iOS 19 will be compatible with the iPhone 11 series and newer.MoreRead our iOS 19 roundup for more details about the upcoming software update.Related Roundup: iOS 19This article, "iOS 19 Will Add These New Features to Your iPhone" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
