Wendy’s (WEN +7.84%) becoming the next big meme stock wasn’t exactly on my bingo card for 2026, but here we are.

Volatile moves based on investor sentiment (not earnings or business momentum) are impossible to predict, and that’s what is happening here. Wendy’s has been dealing with declining same-store sales, brand issues, and other problems in its aging fast-food…

That comment sparked a quick reassessment of Fed interest-rate increase prospects and triggered a bounce in both the largest cryptocurrency and the precious metal. Bitcoin has already pushed above $61,000, while gold has stabilized above $4,050 after dipping to $3,942 earlier this week.These budding…

Auckland lags as regional markets outperform Auckland led the property market’s regional split to the downside, recording the weakest annual performance nationally at -3% year-on-year, while Southland (+6.3%) and the West Coast (+5.5%) continued to outperform.
