Horizonte Minerals Plc (LON:HZM) chief hails environmental licence as a “major milestone” ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 8 Jun 2016
Jeremy Martin, chief executive of Horizonte Minerals Plc, (LON:HZM, TSX:HZM) says the preliminary environmental licence it has been granted for a mine and beneficiation plant at Araguaia in Brazil is “a major milestone for us”.

He tells Proactive Investors that the licence “is probably the hardest milestone to get” adding “it’s basically the first stage gate in terms of walking towards production”.

The junior miner said the award underscored the viability of its project at Araguaia and the state government’s support for the development.

“We are currently operating in a very low nickel price environment and the key that everybody wants to see is ‘can you operate and make money at this kind of price range’ and our aim is to show that this project can,” Martin says.

WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast June 8, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 7 Jun 2016
The WTI Crude Oil market broke higher during the course of the session on Tuesday, clearing the $50 level. By closing at the top of the range, it looks like the market should continue to go higher. After all, the $50 level is of course a large, round, psychologically significant barrier. Also, is an area that we have been fighting with for some time, and with that being the case I believe that it’s a sign we will continue to go much higher.

#Finland - The Thief Next Door: Russia's rich history of annexing neighbouring countries: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 7 Jun 2016
Finland... the thought of Vladimir Putin doesn't quite come to mind at the first mention of it. But, a small Finnish autonomy, the Aland islands is living under the vast shadow of the Kremlin.

The trip begins at a central bus station. Although it may sound warm and exotic the actual climate here is damp and cold. Aland - nearly seven thousand rocky islands, a region that encompasses an archipelago at the entrance of the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. Just like Ukraine's Crimea, Aland is an autonomous region and although nowadays it is the only Swedish-speaking region in Finland... Aland islands were under the rule of the Russian Empire. And seemingly, Russia's interest in the Finnish autonomy has not faded yet.

So what's it like for the Finns to live right beside a neighbour that stole a part of their land? From a Ukrainian standpoint that sounds way-too-familiar.

The Kremlin grip on the neighbouring ex-Soviet states is evident, but it's not that easy to spot in Finland, at least not with a naked eye.

The phenomena of cross-border shopping. It is a part of the Finland/Russia frontier too. The Russian language can be heard everywhere here. Special buses bring shoppers here several times a day.

#Iraq - Fighting the IS with Iraq’s Golden Division: The Road to Fallujah: VICE News

Published on 7 Jun 2016
In 2014, Islamic State militants swept into Western Iraq's Anbar Province, overrunning Iraqi security forces, enslaving minorities, and causing thousands to flee for their lives.

The jihadist group captured Iraq’s largest city, Mosul, and the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, where hundreds of US troops died fighting the Islamic State’s predecessor.

Now, two years later, the Iraqi security forces, with help from Iranian-supported Shiite militias and US military advisors and warplanes, are fighting to take back towns and cities in Anbar, one battle at a time.

But it’s a difficult task: Anbar has been the crucible of Iraq’s insurgency, and is the country’s Sunni heartland — long marginalized by and hostile to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.

VICE News embedded with Iraq’s Golden Division Special Forces unit as they fought their way into the villages surrounding the city of Hit, where they encountered ambushes, sniper fire, and tried to sort suspected Islamic State operatives and sympathizers from innocent Iraqi civilians.

Here’s Why Shares of Zillow Are Trading Higher on Tuesday: TheStreet

Published on 7 Jun 2016
Shares of Zillow traded higher in Tuesday's session after the online real-estate database announced it had reached a settlement with rival Move. The settlement deal averts a trial which would've taken place later this month. Move and the National Association of Realtors were seeking up to $2 billion in damages over allegations that Zillow executives brought trade secrets with them when they left Move in 2014. Zillow settled the suit for just $130 million dollars. On word of the settlement, Barclays upgraded Zillow's shares to EQUAL WEIGHT from UNDERWEIGHT. The firm also raised the stock's price target to $32 from $20. This year, Zillow shares are up 37 percent.

#Brazil - Dilma Rousseff: 'No legal grounds for this impeachment' - Talk to Al Jazeera

Published on 7 Jun 2016
Dilma Rousseff, the former leftist guerrilla who became the first woman president of Latin America's largest country, is now fighting for her political survival.

Brazil's immensely popular former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, chose his chief of staff to carry on with his legacy of economic growth with social justice.

But it didn't last. By the time Rousseff began her second term in 2015, Brazil was in turmoil.
Now Rousseff has been suspended to face an impeachment trial - abandoned by her allies and millions of Brazilians who accuse her of driving the nation's once healthy economy into the ground and of turning a blind eye to corruption within her own left-wing party.

It's the material political soap operas are made of: almost daily corruption scandals are splattering every political party, most recently, that of interim President Michel Temer.

This week, more leaked phone conversations revealed that two of his top ministers, including the man in charge of combatting corruption, were apparently trying to derail ongoing investigations into a multi-billion dollar bribery scheme.

Temer, who was until last month the vice president, turned against Dilma Rousseff, so she could face impeachment.

Rousseff is charged with having tampered with fiscal accounts to hide a massive budget deficit in order to get re-elected.

Yet, unlike a great many of those seeking her impeachment, she is not being accused of stealing money for herself.

In fact at least 60 percent of Brazilian lawmakers are under investigation or indictment for crimes ranging from attempted murder to massive corruption, including the president of the senate who will be overseeing the impeachment trial.

Rousseff claims her enemies are punishing her for refusing to block corruption investigations, but will the latest scandals involving the interim government be enough to save her?

Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman speaks to President Dilma Rouseff in Brasilia as the suspended leader faces a controversial impeachment trial which could remove her permanently from the presidency.

Rouseff discusses why she'll fight to be reinstated, the political fragmentation in the country, and what she plans to do to earn back the trust of the Brazilian people if she wins the Senate vote.

Miton Group (LON:MGR) Williams on the Diverse Income Fund’s growth: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 7 Jun 2016
Gervais Williams, fund manager at Miton Group PLC (LON:MGR) says for fund managers it is all about “growing that dividend” as “good and growing income is really what’s driving the market at the moment”.
He says the diverse income fund, which returned 4% last year to investors, is “very open minded” as long as there is dividend growth.

The fund buys both FTSE100 companies, such as Legal & General Group plc (LON:LGEN), but also AIM stocks, which Williams says are “particularly under discovered”.

Around 15% is invested in FTSE100 companies, slightly higher than last year due to BREXIT uncertainties, but 65% remains in “small-micro” where Williams sees “the best opportunities”.

Stocks at Highest Level This Year, Verizon Makes Offer for Yahoo: TheStreet

Published on 7 Jun 2016
Stocks head into the trading day at the highest levels this year. Indexes rallied to 2016 highs as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said interest rate hikes were needed but hedged on the timing of those. Verizon plans to submit a second-round bid of around $3 billion for Yahoo core internet business, which was much less than the $8 billion or so that was expected. The Wall Street Journal says a private equity firm, TPG Capital, is also expected to make an offer. There could be another round of bidding before a decision is made. Valeant reported its delayed first quarter results. Results missed the mark and will cut its full year earnings and revenue guidance. The new CEO said the company is making progress in stabilizing its business, which has been through controversy over price increases, questions about accounting and concerns over the use of a mail-order pharmacy.
