Spotify Delays Some API Restrictions After Developer Backlash, Keeps Premium Rule

Spotify is pushing back a chunk of its proposed API overhaul after facing pushback from developers of third-party music tools. While the company is giving more time before changing which API functions are available to existing Development Mode integrations, it’s not budging on new limits: a Premium account will still be required, plus a five-user maximum and one client ID allowed per developer. That’s suddenly an issue, since Development Mode is Spotify’s test environment—and with the March 9 cutoff, smaller apps already operating faced a wall. Earlier this week, a developer pointed out that an app serving hundreds still couldn’t move up; the requirements? A registered business, plus at least 250,000 monthly active users.

Australia Fuel Prices Spike as ACCC Checks Gouging and Reserve Claims Unravel

Australia's competition watchdog, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, is scrutinising fuel prices and supply practices after diesel hit 259.9 Australian cents a litre near Dubbo and prices moved above A$2.50 in some areas as Middle East disruption rippled through the market. The regulator has asked fuel companies what reserves they hold and what they are charging. The surge matters because it is moving quickly beyond motorists and into farm, freight and food costs. NAB senior economist Taylor Nugent said inflation would "peak above 5 per cent in Q2" unless fuel benchmarks retreated, while a Victorian orchardist told ABC he faced an extra A$10,000-A$20,000 a week for diesel that he could not easily pass on.

Qualcomm’s New Wayve Deal Puts Self-Driving AI at the Center of Its Auto Push

Qualcomm Incorporated said on Tuesday it is teaming up with British startup Wayve on a pre-integrated system for advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS, and automated driving, pairing Wayve’s AI Driver software with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride chips and safety stack. The companies said the package is meant to help carmakers put more capable driving features into vehicles faster and across more models. That is why the move matters now. In the quarter ended Dec. 28, handsets still brought in $7.824 billion of chip revenue, against $1.101 billion from automotive, even though Qualcomm posted a second straight quarter above $1 billion in car sales.

RTX Corporation’s Pratt & Whitney Wins Leidos AGM-190A Engine Contract as U.S. Pushes Missile Output

EAST HARTFORD, Conn., March 10, 2026, 15:19 EDT Pratt & Whitney, the RTX subsidiary, on Tuesday announced it secured another order from Leidos Dynetics for its TJ150 engines, set for use in the AGM-190A small cruise missile—another notch in RTX’s missile propulsion portfolio. No dollar figure was released. The TJ150 puts out over 150 pounds of thrust and, according to the company, more than 2,700 units have shipped worldwide. “Speed and reliable performance”—that’s what the engine brings to current mission requirements, said Jessica Villardi, vice president of Fighter and Mobility Programs.

GE Aerospace to Invest Another $1 Billion in U.S. Jet Engine Plants Amid Supply Crunch

GE Aerospace plans to pour an additional $1 billion into its U.S. factories and supplier base in 2026—marking a second year in a row at that level—as it looks to ramp up jet-engine and parts production. Shares climbed about 2.2% by Tuesday afternoon. Right now, airlines, manufacturers, and repair shops continue to grapple with shortages across engines and parts. Last month, Airbus trimmed its production goal for A320-family single-aisle jets, following a spat with RTX's Pratt & Whitney about engine deliveries—another signal that there’s barely any cushion left in the supply chain.

Natural Gas Prices Today: Europe Gas Slides From 3-Year High, but Supply Risks Linger

European natural gas prices tumbled Tuesday, with the market shedding risk premium as traders eyed a possible faster resolution to the Middle East conflict. The Dutch front-month Title Transfer Facility contract, the region’s key benchmark, slid 7.98 euros to 48.47 euros per megawatt hour by 08:52 GMT, a steep drop from Monday’s intraday peak of 69.50 euros. Over in the UK, April gas futures dropped 19.90 pence, settling at 123.63 pence per therm. This drop isn’t trivial for Europe, where gas storage sits at less than 30% capacity and Qatar can’t ship LNG—liquefied natural gas—out of the still-blocked Strait of Hormuz. Even after Tuesday’s pullback, both Europe and Asia are scrambling for alternative cargoes.

Boeing Flags 737 MAX Wiring Flaw, Putting First-Quarter Deliveries at Risk

SEATTLE, March 10, 2026, 11:42 AM PDT Boeing on Tuesday flagged a wiring defect affecting certain undelivered 737 MAX aircraft, a setback that could push first-quarter deliveries off schedule. The issue marks yet another production snag for its flagship single-aisle jet, coming as Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg faces mounting pressure to restore confidence in the brand. Boeing shares were off roughly 1.4% by midday in U.S. trading.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Stays Near 6% as Spring Buyers Edge Back

U.S. mortgage rates hovered near 6% on Tuesday, despite a key consumer indicator ticking upward as the spring housing market picked up momentum. Bankrate’s national average for a 30-year fixed mortgage climbed to 6.21% from last week’s 6.07%, but Mortgage News Daily’s lender survey slipped to 6.09% after reading 6.14% on Monday. The divide is relevant now, as even modest changes in mortgage rates are nudging buyers off the sidelines. Existing home sales edged up 1.7% in February to a 4.09 million annualized rate—surprising analysts—while first-time buyers accounted for 34% of transactions. Affordability conditions also saw some improvement from last year, according to the National Association of Realtors and Reuters.

Silver Price Today: Why Silver Rebounded Toward $90 as Dollar Eases and Oil Slumps

Spot silver jumped 2.8% to $89.42 an ounce on Tuesday, clawing back ground alongside gold as the dollar lost momentum and oil prices slid. That uptick erased some of Monday’s dip, when silver dropped 0.2% to $84.18, pressured by a firmer dollar and worries over rising rates dragging on precious metals. The stakes are obvious right now. Silver’s caught in a tug-of-war: safe-haven flows are pushing it one way as investors seek shelter, but worries that stubbornly high oil prices might force the Federal Reserve to keep rates elevated for longer keep pulling it back—never great for non-yielding metals. Tuesday’s jump made clear just how quickly that dynamic can turn.

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Rebounds as Oil Slides, Persimmon Surges

London’s FTSE 100 clawed back ground Tuesday, advancing 1.6% to close at 10,412.24. The FTSE 250 tracked higher too, up 1.9% at 22,513.84. Oil prices slumped sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested the Middle East war might soon conclude. That rebound followed three consecutive losing sessions for London shares, with Monday’s finish dragging the FTSE 100 down to a roughly five-week low. Still, despite the uptick Tuesday, the index was stuck under its Feb. 27 record close of 10,910.55.

Citigroup Signals Mid-Teens Q1 Fee and Markets Growth as Fraser Backs 2026 Goal

Citigroup is projecting mid-teens percentage gains in first-quarter investment banking fees and markets revenue, the bank said Tuesday. CEO Jane Fraser pointed to steady client activity, even with renewed geopolitical tensions. Citi shares climbed roughly 3% around midday, outpacing modest moves from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. The stakes are high for Fraser, who’s under pressure to prove Citi’s protracted revamp can actually deliver a 10%-11% return on tangible common equity this year. Last quarter, that key profitability metric—essentially profit versus shareholder capital minus intangibles—clocked in at 7.7% on an adjusted basis. Citi’s next report lands April 14, just ahead of its investor day on May 7.

Circle Internet Group Stock Rises as New 10-K Reveals Heavy Reliance on USDC Reserve Income

Shares of Circle Internet Group climbed roughly 6.2% Tuesday, changing hands at $118.75 by midday in the U.S. The move came after Monday’s annual report showed just how much the USDC issuer counts on reserve income. Circle also submitted an S-8 for employee stock plans that day. Timing is key here: Circle’s sharp rally following its earnings has shifted attention toward the company’s business mix, not just how fast it’s growing. The 10-K spells it out—reserve income from stablecoin reserves accounted for 96% of revenue from ongoing operations in 2025, leaving Circle’s fortunes hitched to both interest rates and token expansion. Stablecoins, meant to maintain parity with fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, remain central.
