European stocks close at record high, led by defence shares

NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) – Kraken, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said on Monday the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission agreed in principle to dismiss a civil lawsuit accusing it of operating illegally as an unregistered securities exchange. In a statement on its blog, Kraken called the dismissal a turning point for cryptocurrency that ended a “wasteful, politically motivated campaign” begun during the Biden administration, and which stifled innovation and investment. Kraken said the dismissal includes no admission of wrongdoing, no penalties, and no changes to its business. It also said the dismissal is with prejudice, meaning the SEC cannot bring the case again. “This case was never about protecting investors,” Kraken said. “It undermined a nascent industry that repeatedly urged clear rules of the road. “We appreciate the new leadership both at the White House and the Commission that led to this change,” Kraken added. The SEC declined to comment. Kraken had been sued in November 2023, as part of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s push to bring cryptocurrency under the regulator’s purview. But the SEC has pulled back on crypto oversight since U.S. President Donald Trump began his second White House term in January. Last week, the SEC ended a similar lawsuit against Coinbase (COIN.O), opens new tab, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, and said it may resolve its civil fraud case against Justin Sun, the Chinese entrepreneur and adviser to a Trump-backed crypto project. Trump, meanwhile, nominated Paul Atkins, a Washington lawyer seen as supportive of digital assets, to succeed Gensler as SEC chair. The SEC had accused Payward and Payward Ventures, which operate as Kraken, of having since 2018 made hundreds of millions of dollars arranging purchases and sales of 11 crypto assets while turning a “blind eye” to securities laws. Kraken was also accused of having deficient internal controls and record keeping. Like the vast majority of the cryptocurrency industry, Kraken argued that crypto assets, unlike stocks and bonds, did not qualify as investment contracts subject to SEC oversight. A federal judge in San Francisco denied Kraken’s bid to dismiss the case last August. Kraken is the world’s 10th-ranked cryptocurrency spot exchange based on traffic, liquidity, trading volumes, and confidence in the legitimacy of reported trading volumes, according to CoinMarketCap.

US Jobs Report to Offer Clues on Hiring Momentum
US employers probably added jobs at a moderate pace in February at a time of federal government layoffs and a consumer spending slowdown.
Payrolls rose by 160,000 in February, a slight improvement from the 143,000 increase a month earlier yet softer than during the final months of 2024, according to the median projection of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The unemployment rate is seen holding at 4%.
Friday’s report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will provide an update for Federal Reserve officials about momentum in the labor market that’s been the key support — at least until January — of household spending and the economy. However, rapid policy changes by the Trump administration — including the push by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to shrink the federal government and cut spending — risk elevating uncertainty about the outlook.
Listen to the Podcast: Will Elon Musk Trigger a US Government Shutdown?
Fed Chair Jerome Powell is slated to speak at a monetary policy forum Friday afternoon. Policymakers next meet March 18-19 and they’re expected to hold interest rates steady as they gauge the labor market and inflation trends as well as recent government policy shifts.
Other officials speaking in the coming week include Fed governors Adriana Kugler and Christopher Waller, as well as New York Fed President John Williams. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is also speaking before the Economic Club of New York.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that he’s confident US inflation will slow over the course of the year as two polls signaled that President Donald Trump risks putting off Americans worried about the economy and consumer-price growth with the broad flurry of measures during his first weeks in office.
Recent surveys already show consumers are shedding optimism about business conditions and the job market over the next several months. Figures from the Institute for Supply Management and S&P Global will help show whether manufacturers and service providers are seeing orders and business activity cool as managers assess a growing threat of tariffs.
Trump’s administration is planning to enact 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico on March 4, the same day the president addresses a joint session of Congress and may drop other policy bombshells.
The February jobs report may also include the initial effects of a federal hiring freeze, though thousands of public-service layoffs occurred too late in the month to have a material impact this time around. And while federal jobs account for a small share of overall payrolls, funding cutbacks risk bleeding into the private sector that supports — and is supported by — government-funded programs.
What Bloomberg Economics Says:
“Softening sentiment, a contraction in spending, downward revisions to first-quarter GDP growth expectations – data in the past week have stirred growth fears in the market, challenging the narrative of the US economy’s ‘exceptionalism.’ Data and events in the coming week could turn these flickers of concern into a real fire.”

In Canada, government officials are expected to continue their push to avert Trump’s planned levies on most Canadian goods.
Among economic data, the international trade report for January may show a continued surge in exports to the US as the loonie weakened and American importers looked to get ahead of potential tariffs. Employment data for February may similarly continue a trend seen the previous month, in which manufacturing jobs boomed, likely due to tariff front-running.
Elsewhere, Chinese manufacturing PMIs, inflation readings from Australia to Switzerland to Mexico and rate cuts at the European Central Bank and in Turkey will be in focus.
Click here for what happened in the past week, and below is our wrap of what’s coming up in the global economy.
Europe, Middle East, Africa
The week kicks off with the latest inflation reading for the euro area, which — following mixed signals from Germany and France — likely slowed to 2.6%. While still clearly above the ECB’s 2% target, the deceleration will be a relief for central bank officials, who on Thursday in Frankfurt are set to deliver another 25 basis point rate cut — the sixth such move since June.
What happens next is less clear, with policymakers led by President Christine Lagarde increasingly torn on how far they should go. New economic forecasts published alongside the rate decision could provide some clarity, though the threat of US tariffs clouds the outlook.
The Danish central bank typically mirrors any ECB move, and so is expected to lower rates as well on Thursday.
Earlier that day, Turkey will probably also cut borrowing costs — encouraged by new inflation data due Monday likely to show a slowdown to 40% in February — while Ukraine is seen hiking rates for a third straight meeting.
In the UK, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey will be among ratesetters questioned by the Treasury committee on their decision to lower rates by a quarter point in February.
Beyond central banks, South African data on Tuesday is expected to show gross domestic product expanded 0.9% in the fourth quarter, against a 0.3% contraction in the prior three months, in part due to a rebound in the agricultural industry and strong growth in the retail sector.
Swiss inflation a day later will probably show a reading of just 0.2% for February, the weakest since March 2021. The central bank has warned that inflation readings could drop below zero in some months this year and predicts consumer-price growth to average just 0.3% in 2025 as a whole.
In Germany, factory orders on Friday are expected to show a contraction, reminding politicians hashing out their priorities in forming a new government of the country’s industrial malaise.
The situation in Ukraine will, however, overshadow everything else in the region after a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy blew up on Friday, throwing US support into question.
Bloomberg Economics calculates that protecting Ukraine and expanding their own militaries could cost Europe’s major powers an additional $3.1 trillion over the next 10 years.

Americans are suffering from ‘sticker shock’ — here’s how to adjust
Whether it’s a dozen eggs or a new car, Americans are having a hard time adjusting to current prices.
Nearly all Americans report experiencing some form of “sticker shock,” regardless of income, according to a recent report by Wells Fargo.
In fact, 90% of adults said they are still surprised by the cost of some goods, such as a bottle of water, a tank of gas, dinner out or concert tickets, and said that the actual costs are between 55% and 200% higher than what they expected depending on the item.
Many Americans are still cutting back on spending, making financial choices and delaying some life plans, the Wells Fargo report also found. The firm polled more than 3,600 consumers in the fall.
“The value of the dollar and what it is providing may not be as predictable anymore,” said Michael Liersch, head of advice and planning at Wells Fargo. As a result, “consumer behaviors are shifting.”
Still, adjusting to a new normal takes time, he added: “Habit formation does take a while. Next year what you can imagine seeing is consumers being a little less surprised or shocked by prices and adapting to the current situation to create that goals-based plan.”
Some change is already apparent. Although credit card debt recently notched a fresh high, the rate of growth slowed, which indicates that shoppers are starting to lean less on credit cards to make ends meet in a typical month, according to Charlie Wise, TransUnion’s senior vice president of global research and consulting.
“After years of very high inflation, they are kind of figuring it out,” Wise said. “They’ve adjusted their baseline for what things cost right now.”
But with President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico set to take effect in March, there is also the possibility that prices will rise even further in the months ahead.
Consumers fear inflation will pick up
Mexico and Canada tariffs could put pressure on some consumer staples, experts say. That includes already high grocery prices, which are up 28% over the last five years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The prospect of tariffs and renewed inflation is weighing heavily on many consumers.
The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index sank in February, notching the largest monthly drop since August 2021. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index similarly found that Americans largely fear that inflation will flare up again.
A recent CreditCards.com survey found that 23% of Americans expect to worsen or go into credit card debt this year, in part because they are making more purchases ahead of higher tariffs.
How to battle sticker shock
Consumer savings expert Andrea Woroch recommends setting a spending plan and tracking expenses. That helps you pinpoint wasteful purchases and those where prices are accelerating and take steps to save.
“Write out all your expenses currently from those essentials and the wants, figuring out an average monthly spend for fluctuating categories,” she said. “Once you have it all listed out, you can begin hacking away at unnecessary purchases or at least set goals for reducing in those nonessential categories.”
Identify triggers that lead to impulse purchases to help dodge them in the future, Woroch also said. “If you can’t resist a sale, then unsubscribe from store newsletters and turn off push notifications in deal apps.”
Ultimately, being more in control of your spending will “reduce the stress that comes with worry about how you’re going to afford higher prices,” Woroch said.
Edgewell Personal Care (NYSE:EPC) shareholders have endured a 16% loss from investing in the stock a year ago
It’s easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. That downside risk was realized by Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE:EPC) shareholders over the last year, as the share price declined 17%. That falls noticeably short of the market return of around 17%. Longer term shareholders haven’t suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 12% in three years. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 17% in the last 90 days. This could be related to the recent financial results – you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.
Now let’s have a look at the company’s fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
Unfortunately Edgewell Personal Care reported an EPS drop of 12% for the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 17% share price fall. Unsurprisingly, given the lack of EPS growth, the market seems to be more cautious about the stock.
You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).
This free interactive report on Edgewell Personal Care’s earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.
A Different Perspective
While the broader market gained around 17% in the last year, Edgewell Personal Care shareholders lost 16% (even including dividends). Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Regrettably, last year’s performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 0.5% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Case in point: We’ve spotted 3 warning signs for Edgewell Personal Care you should be aware of, and 1 of them is significant.
U.S. Physical Therapy’s (NYSE:USPH) Shareholders Will Receive A Bigger Dividend Than Last Year
The board of U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE:USPH) has announced that it will be paying its dividend of $0.45 on the 11th of April, an increased payment from last year’s comparable dividend. This will take the dividend yield to an attractive 2.2%, providing a nice boost to shareholder returns.
U.S. Physical Therapy’s Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage
We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn’t matter if the payment isn’t sustainable. Based on the last payment, U.S. Physical Therapy’s profits didn’t cover the dividend, but the company was generating enough cash instead. Given that the dividend is a cash outflow, we think that cash is more important than accounting measures of profit when assessing the dividend, so this is a mitigating factor.
Over the next year, EPS is forecast to expand by 68.4%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 64%, which would make us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend, despite the levels currently being quite high.
Dividend Volatility
The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn’t look great with cuts in the past. The dividend has gone from an annual total of $0.48 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of $1.80. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 14% a year over that time. It is great to see strong growth in the dividend payments, but cuts are concerning as it may indicate the payout policy is too ambitious.
Dividend Growth May Be Hard To Come By
Given that the dividend has been cut in the past, we need to check if earnings are growing and if that might lead to stronger dividends in the future. U.S. Physical Therapy has seen earnings per share falling at 5.6% per year over the last five years. A modest decline in earnings isn’t great, and it makes it quite unlikely that the dividend will grow in the future unless that trend can be reversed. Earnings are forecast to grow over the next 12 months and if that happens we could still be a little bit cautious until it becomes a pattern.
U.S. Physical Therapy’s Dividend Doesn’t Look Sustainable
Overall, we always like to see the dividend being raised, but we don’t think U.S. Physical Therapy will make a great income stock. The payments haven’t been particularly stable and we don’t see huge growth potential, but with the dividend well covered by cash flows it could prove to be reliable over the short term. We don’t think U.S. Physical Therapy is a great stock to add to your portfolio if income is your focus.
Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. For example, we’ve picked out 1 warning sign for U.S. Physical Therapy that investors should know about before committing capital to this stock. Looking for more high-yielding dividend ideas?

PAYROLLS LOOM
All of this raises the stakes for the January U.S. payrolls report due on Friday, where a weak outcome would fuel market bets the Federal Reserve might have to cut interest rates three times this year. Fed fund futures now imply 69 basis points of easing by December, compared with 46 basis points a week ago. Yields on 10-year Treasuries extended their rally with a drop to 4.2290%, leaving them down 35 basis points in February, the largest monthly decline since late 2023. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook on Friday, just a few hours after the jobs report, and at least seven other officials will appear this week. Across the Atlantic, the European Central Bank is widely expected to cut its rates by 25 basis points to 2.50% on Thursday following a run of weak data, and a move under 2% is expected by year-end. In currency markets, the euro edged up 0.4% to $1.0414 on hopes for progress in a Russian-Ukrainian peace deal, after having dropped as low as $1.0360 on Friday. The dollar eased back to 1.4443 Canadian dollars , after rising 1.7% last week, and dipped to 20.4586 Mexican pesos . It eased a touch on the Japanese yen to 150.38 yen , while the dollar index was down slightly at 107.24. Gold prices firmed 0.2% to $2,864 an ounce , having dropped around 3% last week. Oil bounced a little, having slid last week amid speculation the U.S. could ease sanctions on Russian output, while the risk of a global trade war could hit demand for energy. Brent futures rose 0.4% to $73.07 a barrel, while U.S. crude futures also added 0.4% to $70.04 per barrel.
Trump’s federal workforce cuts: A timeline of firings and court reversals
Jan. 20: Trump signs executive order changing job classifications
Among his first actions as president, Trump signed an executive order that revives a policy from the final days of his first administration known as Schedule F. The directive creates a new employment classification for tens of thousands of nonpartisan career civil servants, effectively stripping them of job protections by reclassifying them as at-will positions, meaning they can be dismissed for nearly any reason. A separate executive order froze hiring of federal civilian employees in the executive branch. It states that any federal civilian position vacant when Trump took office may not be filled, and no new position may be created with rare exceptions.Jan. 28: Buyout offer made to federal employees
Trump’s administration offered buyouts to nearly all 2.3 million federal employees. The offer came in a surprise email that hit inboxes at 6:04 p.m. on Jan. 28 with the subject line: “The Fork in the Road.” In the email the U.S. Office of Personnel Management offered all federal employees eight months of pay and benefits through September if they resigned by Feb. 6. Unions warned workers considering Trump’s offer that there is no guarantee the president can or will stick to it because Congress hasn’t approved funding for federal agencies past March 14.Jan. 29: Union sues over reclassifying federal employees
Unions representing federal employees sued the Trump administration to block the schedule F executive order, alleging that it aimed to politicize the federal government by stripping federal workers of job protections.Feb. 4: USAID employees placed on administrative leave
About 10,000 employees of the United States Agency for International Development ‒ two-thirds of whom work overseas across 60 countries ‒ were notified that they will be placed on administrative leave at the end of the week as part of Trump’s move to dismantle the foreign aid agency.Feb. 5: Government warns of furloughs
The Trump administration warned federal employees that they could be furloughed if they did not accept the buyout offer, according to an email obtained by USA TODAY. The email warned employees that many will be stripped of civil-service protections and suggested there may be loyalty tests for those who remain.Feb. 6: Boston judge temporarily halts deadline to accept buyout offer
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole issued a temporary restraining order pausing the Trump administration’s deadline to accept the buyout in order to allow time for labor unions to challenge the plan’s legality. The American Federation of Government Employees and two other unions filed the lawsuit arguing that the administration lacks any statutory basis for the “unprecedented offer.” The Trump administration’s lawyers had argued that extending the deadline on the very last day would “markedly disrupt the expectations of the federal workforce, inject tremendous uncertainty into a program that scores of federal employees have already availed themselves of, and hinder the administration’s efforts to reform the federal workforce.” Also on Feb. 6, the administration ordered all federal department and agency heads to produce lists of their lowest-performing employees. The order from OPM Acting Director Charles Ezell also asked departments and agencies to identify potential barriers to ensuring “the ability to swiftly terminate poor performing employees who cannot or will not improve.”Feb. 7: Trump fires head of the federal agency dedicated to guarding the federal workforce from illegal personnel actions
An aide to Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, who leads the Office of the Special Counsel, on the night of Feb. 7 in a one-sentence email. Dellinger sued, arguing that 1978 federal law creating his position states he can only be removed from his job because of inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. Probationary employees largely rely on the Special Counsel to back them when challenging a dismissal through the proper government channels rather than suing.Feb. 10: Trump fires leaders of two internal boards employees use to protest firings
Within a matter of minutes Trump fired the leaders of two other boards that federal workers can turn to as an avenue to contest their firing. Union challenges to the firings have been rejected because they have not first gone through these boards. Trump fired Merit Systems Protection Board chair Cathy Harris, just before 11 p.m., leaving the board with two members – Raymond Limon, a Democrat whose term expires Saturday, and Henry Kerner, a Republican. A court temporarily reinstated Harris, whose term doesn’t expire until 2028, after she sued. The Merit Systems Protection Board is tasked with protecting federal workers against partisan politics and illegal employment practices. It cannot operate without a quorum. Trump also fired the Federal Labor Relations Authority board chair, Susan Grundmann, three and a half minutes before he fired Cathy Harris. The authority handles certain complaints with federal workers’ labor unions. She’s suing to be reinstated, but for the time being, Trump named Colleen Kiko, a Republican member, as chair, presiding over only one other member, Democrat Anne Wagner. Also on Feb. 10, a court temporarily reinstated Dellinger, who promptly asked the Merit Systems Protection Board to pause the terminations of six probationary employees at six agencies, and reinstate them while he investigated their cases. The Supreme Court has declined to take up the administration’s case while Dellinger’s challenge goes forward.Feb. 11: Trump signs executive order to make major cuts to federal work force
Trump signed an executive order Feb. 11 that seeks to significantly reduce the size of the government by instructing heads of federal departments and agencies to undertake plans for “large-scale reductions in force.” A White House summary of the order said agency heads were ordered to “coordinate and consult with DOGE to shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions.” Under the order, federal agencies aren’t allowed to hire more than one employee for every four employees who depart. It also instructed the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to create new rules to ensure future federal hires are subject to additional conduct standards, such as U.S. citizenship and filing federal tax returns on time.Feb. 12: Judge allows buyouts to move forward
O’Toole, the Boston-based federal judge, restored Trump’s buyout project, deciding federal employees unions that sued to stop the program lacked standing to bring their challenge and that his court does not have jurisdiction to hear their complaint. In total, about 75,000 federal employees accepted President Donald Trump’s buyout offer. That equaled about 3.3% of the federal government’s 2.3 million workers, coming in below the White House’s projections that 5% to 10% of the workforce would accept. Congress has not yet approved spending for the next year or said spending for buyouts would be included.Feb. 13: Thousands of probationary employees are fired across the government
Thousands of recently hired federal workers received notice that they had been fired. Probationary workers are easier to fire because they lack the bargaining rights that career employees have to appeal their terminations. Firings were government-wide: from the Department of Education and Small Business Administration to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the agency that oversees the nation’s fleet of nuclear weapons. The firings have continued in the weeks since, including more than 880 probationary employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – which forecasts the nation’s weather and protects ocean species – on Thursday.Feb. 20: Unions sue over firing probationary employees
A coalition of federal employee unions sued the administration, alleging that officials misused the probationary period to eliminate staff and that the Office of Personnel Management directed federal agencies to use a standardized termination notice falsely claiming performance issues in firing tens of thousands of employees. “OPM, the federal agency charged with implementing this nation’s employment laws, in one fell swoop has perpetrated one of the most massive employment frauds in the history of this country, telling tens of thousands of workers that they are being fired for performance reasons, when they most certainly were not,” the unions argued in court documents.Feb. 24: Office of Special Counsel says firing of probationary employees was illegal
Dellinger, who leads the Office of the Special Counsel, said firing probationary employees was illegal because it used boilerplate language blaming their performance rather than specific concerns and asked the Merit Systems Protection Board to decide whether to reinstate six employees while he investigates further. Federal law generally requires 60 days’ notice for a reduction in force (what the federal government calls layoffs) and prohibits probationary employees from being fired for reasons unrelated to performance or conduct.Feb. 25: Merit Systems Protection Board reinstates some probationary employees
The Merit Systems Protection Board orders six fired federal employees to be rehired at least through April 10, while Dellinger’s office investigates. “I find that there are reasonable grounds to believe that each of the six agencies engaged in a prohibited personnel practice,” stated the order. The Office of Special Counsel has said it is considering ways to seek relief for a broader group of federal employees similarly fired in recent weeks.Feb. 27: California judge blocks firing of probationary employees
Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern California District temporarily blocked the Trump administration from its mass firing of probationary federal employees. Alsup said the mass firings were likely unlawful and ordered the Office of Personnel Management to halt the action, saying the agency acted out of bounds by telling other agencies – including the Education Department, the Small Business Administration and the Energy Department – to fire employees. “OPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire or fire any employees, but its own,” Alsup said. The judge did not order the rehiring of anyone who had been terminated.What is ahead?
The Trump administration has ordered heads of federal departments and agencies to prepare to initiate “large-scale reductions in force” by March 13 as Trump shifts to a more aggressive phase of cutting the federal workforce beyond recently hired or promoted employees. A memo sent by the Personnel Management and Management and Budget offices has also instructed federal departments to eliminate and consolidate duplicative positions, reduce their property footprints and produce reorganization plans for their agencies.
