One dead, nearly 50 sickened across U.S. after e. coli outbreak

McDonald’s is scrambling to contain an E. coli outbreak linked to its Quarter Pounder burgers.

The outbreak has killed one person and sickened nearly 50 others across 12 states.

Ten people have been hospitalized, and the CDC warns that more cases are likely to emerge.

McDonald’s has removed the Quarter Pounder from around 20% of its U.S. locations to prevent further infections.

The fast-food giant is investigating both its beef patties and slivered onions as possible sources.

McDonald’s President Joe Erlinger says the chain is focused on rebuilding public trust.

The outbreak has caused McDonald’s stock to drop nearly 5% amid growing concerns.

This strain of E. coli is the same one linked to a deadly outbreak at Jack in the Box in 1993.

Gold prices surge as central banks increase demand; risks include a stronger dollar and rising interest rates.

Gold prices are climbing fast as central banks ramp up buying, pushing demand to its highest levels in years. The metal’s reputation as a safe haven is strengthening, especially amid rising geopolitical tensions and global financial uncertainty.

But experts warn the shine could fade. A stronger US dollar and the possibility of rising interest rates may weigh on momentum, making investors question how long the rally can last.

Dr Steven Enticott from CIA Tax breaks down the drivers behind gold’s surge—from ETF inflows to physical bar demand—and what could send the price sharply higher… or lower.

U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators progress in Geneva on a peace plan amid Russian strikes and geopolitical tensions.

U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators have made meaningful progress in Geneva, shaping an updated peace plan despite continued Russian strikes and growing geopolitical pressure. The talks represent one of the most significant diplomatic pushes in months as both nations work to narrow the remaining gaps in the framework.

While the proposal is being hailed as a breakthrough by some, leaders in Kyiv and parts of Europe fear it may tilt in Russia’s favour. Sensitive issues, security guarantees, and the controversial details of a leaked U.S. draft are now fuelling debate on both sides of the Atlantic.

With U.S. senators divided and European leaders deeply involved, the next steps will determine whether this framework becomes a workable path to peace or sparks further tension.
