- Mass protests challenge Macron as French police use tear gas and water cannons
More than 100,000 people marched in Paris on Saturday over school funding and rising living costs, with Paris police estimating turnout at 110,000. As the march neared its end, police used tear gas in Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand, Strasbourg and Marseille, and water cannons in Nice and Nantes. The Paris prosecutor's office said 64 people were arrested and 40 were placed in police custody, including six minors. The unrest is testing President Emmanuel Macron's authority in the final months of his presidency before the May election, as the far-right National Rally accuses the government of failing to protect the public. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez acknowledged that police lost control in some cities and offered to resign, but Macron refused.
- Paris protests: More than 400,000 protest across France, challenging Macron as clashes erupt
Clashes broke out in Paris as a mass march ended Saturday, with the Interior Ministry counting 410,000 protesters nationwide and the CGT union nearly 800,000, over school funding and living costs. Police used tear gas and water cannons near the endpoint at Porte de Vincennes, and similar clashes were reported in Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg, Nice and Nantes. The Paris prosecutor's office said 64 people were arrested and 40 placed in custody, including minors, mostly on suspected weapons offenses or preparing violence. The movement, which began as a protest over staff shortages at one high school, has spread to students and workers seeking higher wages and pensions, testing Macron's authority before May's vote for his successor. Education Ministry figures show 15.4 million teaching hours were lost in 2024-25, 7.5% of scheduled time.

- Gold Prices Keep Plunging: What Should Investors Do?
World gold prices fell to their lowest level since July, and domestic gold prices also declined. Gold expert Trần Duy Phương said the drop does not mean gold has become cheap or that the long-term trend has changed, so investors should weigh their accumulation goals, cash needs and risk tolerance, and avoid acting out of fear of missing out. Dr. Nguyễn Trí Hiếu said there is not yet enough basis to conclude the market has bottomed, and holders should set in advance the maximum loss they can accept. Experts also advised carefully weighing borrowing to invest in gold, avoiding concentrating money in one channel, and keeping an emergency fund. For stocks, Đặng Trần Phục said a deep share price drop does not mean shares are cheap, and businesses should be assessed on revenue, profit and actual cash flow.

- 1 Red Flag That Keeps Me From Buying AMD Stock
The author says they are not planning to buy AMD stock because it looks too expensive, even though AMD's products are now more competitive alternatives to Nvidia's AI computing units. AMD trades at 130 times trailing 12-month earnings and 67 times forward earnings, well above the 25 to 35 times the author considers typical for a big tech company in the AI race. At 32 times next year's earnings, the article argues the stock already prices in most of the growth expected for 2027, which could lead to a sizable sell-off or slower gains as the stock grows into its valuation. The article compares this with Nvidia, which trades at 27 times trailing earnings.
