3 charts show how the Israel-Iran conflict immediately rocked markets
Israel's strike on Iran sparked turmoil in financial markets overnight. There was a sharp risk-off move, with stocks tumbling and gold climbing. The price of crude oil spiked as much as 14%. Global investors were on edge Friday as conflict escalated between Israel and Iran in the Middle East. Israel launched a series of strikes on Iran overnight, targeting military officials and Iran's nuclear program. The situation was also stoked by comments from Donald Trump on Truth Social, which saw the president urge Iran to make a deal that involves dialing back its nuclear program. Traders immediately lurched into risk-off mode, pulling their money from risky assets (stocks) in favor of safer alternatives (gold). But those moves paled in comparison to the jump in crude oil prices, which rose as much as 14%. Detailed below are moves in three key asset classes, with accompanying charts: US stock futures tumbled as markets digested the conflict and weighed the geopolitical risks on the macro outlook. Futures on all three benchmark indexes moved lower early Friday, each falling around 1%, paring deeper overnight declines. European stocks also fell in regular trading, with the Stoxx Europe 600 about 0.8% lower. The price of crude oil surged as market participants braced for potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 14% at overnight highs before stabilizing about 9% higher, around $74 a barrel. Brent crude, the international benchmark, climbed as much as 13% and is now about 8% higher. Gold also rallied on the news as investors sought out the safe-haven asset. The precious metal traded as much as 1.7% higher, and held a gain of 1.5% as of Friday morning. Read the original article on Business Insider Sign in to access your portfolio

Canada to join major European rearmament deal as early as June 23: sources
Prime Minister Mark Carney plans on joining a sweeping European plan in Belgium this month to rearm the continent and provide more military aid to Ukraine, CBC News has learned. Last month, Carney signalled to CBC's Power & Politics that he hopes to sign on to the new defence initiative by Canada Day as he tries to move away from relying on the United States for weapons and munitions. Now sources with knowledge of the matter say Carney is expected to join the rearmament deal as early as June 23, when he meets with European leaders in Brussels at the EU-Canada summit. Carney hinted on Monday this summit will "be more important than ever." "Canada will arrive at this summit with a plan to lead, with new investments to build our strength in service of our values," Carney said. WATCH | Why ReArm Europe would want Canada: The prime minister has said he's been in talks with European countries for months about closer defence co-operation. Carney wants to build up Canada's defence capabilities and expand its military suppliers beyond the U.S. as President Donald Trump wages a trade war on Canada and most of the world. "Over 75 cents on every dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That's not smart," Carney told Power & Politics host David Cochrane on May 27. Carney said it would be better to "spend more at home" with "diversified partnerships." CBC News is not naming the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the deal. European Union President Ursula von der Leyen first proposed the plan called ReArm Europe in March to bolster the continent's military capabilities during global threats, Russia's ongoing invasion in Ukraine and uncertainty with the United States. The plan, renamed Readiness 2030, includes boosting European defence spending by up to 800 billion euros, including a 150-billion euro loan program to pay for more military technology and weapons. It's unclear how much money Canada would contribute. CBC News asked the Prime Minister's Office for details about the spending commitment and has yet to receive a response. Carney announced more than $9 billion in new military spending this fiscal year on Monday — and said Canada must further increase defence spending in the years to come. Once Canada joins the European deal, the government will have to decide what initiative it wants to launch and which countries it will partner with. The list of potential projects includes air and missile defence, drones and anti-drone systems, artificial intelligence and electronic warfare. "The first step is joining the club. The next step is deciding what projects you want to work on with other club members," said Dave Perry, president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. Ahead of the EU-Canada summit, Carney is also expected to announce more support for Ukraine. As part of Carney's promise to increase defence spending this year, supplementary estimates this week show the government has earmarked $2 billion for military aid to Ukraine and to expand defence partnerships. A source told CBC News the government is expected to reveal how much of that money will go toward Ukraine at the G7 meeting in in Kananaskis, Alta., next week. Carney is hosting this year's summit and invited Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who hopes to urge Trump to move forward with a stronger sanctions package on Russia. WATCH | Carney says Three years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it continues to push forward in the Donbas region where Ukrainians are progressively losing "more and more" territory, Perry said. Ukraine needs armoured vehicles, artillery systems, ground-based air defence systems and munitions, he said. "They need help repairing all of the critical infrastructure the Russians are going after," he said. "They need the funding to basically keep the government of Ukraine solvent … they need a whole range of things."

RH Q1 Earnings Call: Tariff Disruptions and Global Expansion Define Outlook
Luxury furniture retailer RH (NYSE:RH) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, but sales rose 12% year on year to $814 million. Next quarter's revenue guidance of $904.3 million underwhelmed, coming in 0.7% below analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.13 per share was significantly above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy RH? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $814 million vs analyst estimates of $819 million (12% year-on-year growth, 0.6% miss) Adjusted EPS: $0.13 vs analyst estimates of -$0.07 (significant beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $106.4 million vs analyst estimates of $104.4 million (13.1% margin, 2% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $904.3 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $910.9 million Operating Margin: 6.9%, in line with the same quarter last year Locations: 125 at quarter end, down from 126 in the same quarter last year Same-Store Sales rose 7.8% year on year (-3.7% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $3.31 billion RH's first quarter results reflected the impact of ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and management's continued focus on brand elevation and market share gains. CEO Gary Friedman highlighted that, despite operating in what he described as 'the worst housing market in almost fifty years,' RH delivered double-digit sales growth, driven by investments in new product collections, immersive gallery experiences, and the company's ability to capture demand in key global markets. Notably, management pointed to strong performance in its European galleries, particularly RH England, where demand trends surpassed internal benchmarks. Friedman acknowledged the strategic decision to pursue aggressive market share during a downturn, emphasizing, 'We are performing at a level most would expect in a robust housing market.' Looking ahead, RH's guidance reflects both optimism about international expansion and caution around near-term volatility tied to tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty. Management expects the opening of flagship galleries in Paris, London, and Milan to serve as significant growth catalysts, with Friedman stating that these locations present 'a multibillion-dollar opportunity' for the brand. However, leadership noted that the recent introduction of new tariffs and associated supply chain disruptions have prompted a temporary delay in key product launches and are expected to impact revenue timing for the next quarter. CFO Jack Preston indicated that, while the company maintains its full-year margin targets, elevated investment in international markets and ongoing tariff negotiations may create further earnings variability through the remainder of the year. Management attributed quarterly performance to a mix of strong demand in Europe, ongoing product transformation, and tactical responses to trade disruptions, while emphasizing strategic flexibility amid external volatility. European momentum: RH's galleries in England, Munich, and Dusseldorf saw notable demand growth, with RH England's gallery and online channels up 47% and 44% respectively. Success in these markets encouraged confidence in the brand's disruptive potential across Europe as new flagship locations prepare to open. Product transformation: Management highlighted the rollout of 18 new collections—including a new Japandi design aesthetic blending Japanese and Scandinavian influences—and ongoing efforts to elevate the product assortment. These initiatives are designed to differentiate RH from competitors and support margin resilience. Membership discount strategy: In response to heightened industry promotions and a compressed outdoor selling season, RH increased its membership discount from 25% to 30%, and briefly to 35% for select outdoor products. Management described this as a strategic, long-term move to capture market share, rather than a temporary measure. Tariff mitigation efforts: The company accelerated its shift away from Chinese sourcing, aiming to reduce receipts from China to just 2% by year-end. RH also increased U.S. and Italian production for key upholstery lines, seeking to offset uncertainty from evolving trade policies. Capital allocation and real estate flexibility: RH continues to hold significant real estate assets, with plans to monetize properties opportunistically. Management cited a portfolio of owned and joint-venture galleries, particularly in Aspen and major U.S. markets, providing both liquidity options and strategic growth opportunities. RH's outlook is shaped by the pace of international expansion, margin management through product and sourcing shifts, and the evolving tariff landscape. International gallery expansion: Management expects the upcoming openings of flagship locations in Paris, London, and Milan to meaningfully expand RH's global reach. These galleries are positioned in high-visibility, luxury retail districts and are anticipated to drive substantial brand awareness and sales growth, although initial investments will weigh on operating margins in the near term. Margin resilience and discounting strategy: Despite increasing its membership discount, RH believes its elevated product mix and operational efficiencies will support full-year non-GAAP margin targets. Management noted that margin improvement is expected as product assortment optimizes and as European galleries scale, but acknowledged ongoing promotional intensity and macro volatility as risks. Tariff and supply chain adjustments: The company continues to shift sourcing out of China and work closely with vendor partners to absorb tariff costs. Management warned of near-term revenue timing disruptions and supply chain unpredictability, but expressed confidence that these challenges are being addressed through diversified sourcing and inventory management. Going forward, the StockStory team will focus on (1) the pace and performance of new flagship gallery openings in Europe, (2) how RH manages product margins and inventory in the face of elevated promotions and tariffs, and (3) whether the shift in membership discount strategy drives meaningful incremental demand without eroding brand positioning. Progress on monetizing real estate assets and supply chain diversification will also be important indicators. RH currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 15.8×.
