Suze Orman: This Asset Continues To Grow Whether You Want It To or Not — Should You Invest?
Suze Orman thinks that energy stocks will grow in the next two years — but don't invest in them just yet. In her recent podcast episode, 'Suze School: Savings vs. Consumption', the financial advisor, author and podcast host emphasizes to listeners the high demand for oil. Trending Now: Read Next: 'The demand for oil, whether you want it to or not, continues to grow and that's because there are more emerging economies that are out there, and they are increasingly demanding the use of oil,' said Orman. GOBankingRates breaks down why the money expert wants investors to pay attention to this asset. Orman doesn't think the 'green dream' as she calls it, will become a reality as wind and solar are not stable. She suggests this was seen in the recent blackouts in Spain and Europe. However, as Nasdaq reports, the U.S. is expected to see great demand for electric power from AI-driven data center growth, wider adoption of electric vehicles and an increase in residential usage. Discover More: Orman predicts over the next two years, oil will be about $150 a barrel or higher, which is higher than the $130 a barrel during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022. Recently, it was $55 per barrel, the expert points out. 'There will come a day where you want to invest again in energy stocks and I think that will be in around 2026, so just be patient there,' Orman said. With only 22 companies, energy is one of the most concentrated Global Industry Classification Standard sectors in the stock market.

Pope Leo takes first action to address abuse by Catholic clergy
By Joshua McElwee VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Leo on Saturday appointed a French archbishop as the new leader of the Vatican's commission on clergy sexual abuse, in the U.S. pontiff's first public move to confront an issue that has damaged the global Church's credibility. Thibault Verny, 59, will be president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors while also remaining the archbishop of Chambery in southeast France. The Vatican commission was created by Pope Francis in 2014 in an effort by the late pontiff to respond after sexual abuse scandals affected the Church in countries across the world. The scandals have damaged the Church's standing as a moral voice, led to lawsuits costing millions in countries across the globe, and resulted in a number of resignations of bishops. Verny said he was committed to improving the Church's safeguarding measures. "We will promote the ... equitable sharing of resources so that all parts of the Church, regardless of geography or circumstance, can uphold the highest standards of protection," he said in a statement. Verny replaces Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the former archbishop of Boston. O'Malley, 81, had been serving beyond the Church's traditional retirement age of 80 for bishops. O'Malley had led the group since its creation. While some victims have praised the commission's efforts, it has also been roiled by the resignations of several of its members over the years. In 2023, a prominent Jesuit priest and papal adviser stepped down, saying publicly that he had concerns over the way the group was operating. Verny was first made a member of the commission by Francis in 2022. He has also led the French Church's safeguarding efforts. O'Malley praised the appointment, saying in a statement Verny is "a collaborative leader committed to advancing the global adoption of protection and safeguarding, to as best possible assure the safety of those in the care of the Church throughout the world".

Starmer and Macron hope for ‘progress' on defence and migration at summit
Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron have said they hope to make 'good progress' on issues including migration and defence when they meet next week, Number 10 has said. The two leaders will hold a summit when the French President travels to the UK for a state visit next week, with the two leaders speaking on Saturday ahead of Mr Macron's journey. Issuing a readout of the conversation between the Prime Minister and Mr Macron, a Downing Street spokesperson said Sir Keir 'looked forward to welcoming the President to the UK next week, with both leaders agreeing that the state visit will provide a historic opportunity to showcase the breadth of the UK-France relationship. 'Turning to the UK-France summit on Thursday, they hoped to make good progress across a wide range of our joint priorities including migration, growth, defence and security.' The two leaders are also due to host a meeting of the coalition of the willing while Mr Macron is in Britain, with the two leaders expected to dial in to speak to other allied nations who are looking to support any future peace deal in Ukraine. There have been extensive talks between the two nations on migration, and the summit comes as the UK has been repeatedly pushing the French authorities to do more to prevent small boats from crossing the Channel. The number of people who have arrived in the UK by small boat passed 20,000 earlier this week. Downing Street welcomed action from French officers on Friday, after reports suggested knives had been used to puncture a boat in waters off the French coast. A Number 10 spokesman said: 'We welcome action from French law enforcement to take action in shallow waters, and what you have seen in recent weeks is a toughening of their approach.' Existing rules have been changed to allow police officers to intervene when dinghies are in the water. Those alterations have not yet come into effect, but reports on Friday suggested tougher action was already being taken.
