New diet guidelines say to double up on protein, but nutrition experts are wary
Protein just got a big boost from U.S. health officials.
The latest federal dietary guidelines tell Americans to “prioritize protein foods at every meal” and advise increasing daily intake — up to double the amount of previous recommendations.
“We are ending the war on protein,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a White House post on social media.
The guidance — including a new food pyramid — emphasizes red meat, whole milk and other animal sources of protein, while downplaying plant-based offerings.
But top nutrition experts question the protein push, saying Americans already consume more protein than they need, and there’s no new evidence that people need to drastically ramp up consumption. For many people, eating much more protein could lead to more fat and more cases of diabetes, they say.
“If you’re actively building muscle with strength or resistance training, more protein can help,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Tufts University nutrition expert. “Otherwise, you’re getting enough.”
Others worry that the dietary advice will accelerate the trend of companies encouraging Americans to embrace extra protein in foods including bars, cereals and snacks – even water.
Sales of protein-enriched packaged food will increase at a time “when one of the main messages is ‘eat real food, eat whole foods,’” said Christopher Gardner, a nutrition expert at Stanford University. “I think they’re going to confuse the public in a big way.”
Here’s what you need to know about the new protein recommendations:
What is protein and how much do people need?
Protein is a macronutrient that is in every cell in the human body. It’s vital for growth and repair of muscle, bone, skin, hair and other organs and tissues. It’s made of building blocks called amino acids, including some that the body doesn’t make and must come from food.
For decades, the U.S. dietary guidelines and other sources have recommended that people consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, or about 54 grams daily for a 150-pound person.
The new recommendation advises people to consume 1.2 grams to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight — up to double the previous advice. The guidance says adults should consume at least 100 grams of protein per day with half or more coming from animal sources.
The average adult man already consumes about 100 grams of protein a day, or twice the old recommendation.
Why did the new dietary guidelines change?
The previous protein recommendations were calculated to prevent a nutrition deficiency, according to a scientific review published with the new dietary guidelines.
“It represents the lowest intake that maintains equilibrium in most healthy adults but does not reflect the intake required to maintain optimal muscle mass or metabolic function under all conditions,” the review said.
The new document relied on evidence from 30 studies that looked at the effects of higher protein diets on weight management and nutrient adequacy.
It concluded that protein intakes well above the previous guidance “are safe and compatible with good health.”
What’s the harm of eating more protein?
Nutrition experts noted that trials focusing on weight reduction aren’t typically used to make dietary recommendations for the general population. And, in a new article published in Journal of the American Medical Association, Mozaffarian said there is little evidence, outside of use for strength or resistance training, that “higher protein builds muscle or provides other health benefits.”
“In fact, excess dietary protein can be converted to fat by the liver,” Mozaffarian wrote. That can increase the risk of the development of dangerous fat in the abdomen that surrounds vital organs and boost the risk of diabetes, he added.
Protein in processed foods
Other nutrition experts said the recommendation to eat more protein could be useful if it helps achieve another key goal of the new guidelines: encouraging people to eat more whole foods and fewer highly processed foods such as packaged snacks and cookies.
“The main problem with the food supply is the processed carbohydrates,” said Dr. David Ludwig, an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital.
But that will be a tall order for consumers faced with a slew of processed packaged foods — including toaster pastries, cereals and salty snacks — imbued with the halo of added protein.
“I think the American public’s gonna go buy more junk food,” Gardner said.

Infantino critica la conducta ‘inaceptable’ de Senegal en la caótica final de la Copa Africana
RABAT, Marruecos (AP) — El hecho de que Senegal abandonara el campo para protestar por las decisiones del árbitro antes de conquistar el título de la Copa Africana de Naciones en medio de un surrealista caos fue “inaceptable”, afirmó el lunes el presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino.
Infantino criticó al cuerpo técnico, jugadores y algunos aficionados de Senegal por su comportamiento al cabo del tiempo reglamentario del partido contra la anfitriona Marruecos, algo asombroso para la final de una competición internacional.
“Las escenas desagradables presenciadas (el domingo) deben ser condenadas y nunca repetidas”, publicó el líder de la FIFA en su cuenta de Instagram después de asistir al partido en Rabat.
“Espero que los cuerpos disciplinarios pertinentes de la CAF (la Confederación Africana de Fútbol) tomen las medidas apropiadas”, escribió Infantino.
La CAF también describió los incidentes como inaceptables en un comunicado posterior y dijo que está “revisando todas las grabaciones y remitirá el asunto a los organismos competentes para que se tomen las medidas adecuadas contra los culpables”.
El entrenador de Senegal, Pape Thiaw, enfrenta severas sanciones por su actuación al llevar a sus jugadores de regreso al vestuario cuando a Marruecos se le otorgó un penal en el tiempo de descuento, lo que obligó a detener el duelo durante casi 15 minutos.
¿Castigo mundialista?
No está claro si alguna prohibición impuesta a Thiaw se aplicaría solo en futuras competiciones africanas o en la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en América del Norte. Senegal debutará en el Mundial contra Francia el 16 de junio en el estadio MetLife, cerca de Nueva York, donde también jugará contra Noruega seis días después.
El equipo y los aficionados de Senegal se enfurecieron al serles negado lo que parecía ser el gol para conseguir el título al inicio del tiempo de descuento del empate 0-0 cuando el árbitro pitó una falta para anular la anotación.
Minutos después, a Marruecos se le otorgó un penal tras una revisión de video que juzgó que el delantero Brahim Díaz había sido derribado por un defensor de Senegal cuando se ejecutaba un córner.
La polémica decisión alimentó aún más la sensación de los oponentes de Marruecos de que el equipo estaba recibiendo decisiones favorables en un torneo que ha sido una vitrina para la coorganización de la Copa Mundial de 2034.
Thiaw animó a sus jugadores a abandonar el campo y así evitar que Díaz ejecutara el penalti que podría decidir el título. Los aficionados de Senegal se enfrentaron con la policía en el otro extremo del estadio.
“Es inaceptable abandonar el campo de juego de esta manera, y de igual manera, la violencia no puede ser tolerada en nuestro deporte. Simplemente no está bien”, escribió Infantino.
La FIFA insta al respeto de las reglas
“Debemos respetar siempre las decisiones tomadas por los oficiales del partido dentro y fuera del campo de juego”, añadió el presidente de la FIFA. “Los equipos deben competir en el campo y dentro de las Reglas del Juego, porque cualquier cosa menos pone en riesgo la esencia misma del fútbol”.
El entrenador de Marruecos, Walid Regragui, calificó más tarde los incidentes como una imagen “vergonzosa” del fútbol africano para que el resto del mundo la vea.
Cuando los jugadores regresaron, y en el notable minuto 24 del tiempo de descuento, Díaz ejecutó uno de los peores penaltis en la historia del fútbol.
Panenka
El atacante del Real Madrid picó la pelota, una definición conocida como Panenka, en honor al jugador checo que lo hizo hace 50 años para ganar el título europeo contra Alemania Occidental. Fue un toque débil, bajo y fácilmente detenido por el arquero senegalés Édouard Mendy.
La final se fue a tiempo extra y Senegal la ganó cuatro minutos después con el gol de Pape Gueye.
“Mis mejores deseos también para Abdoulaye Fall, presidente de la Asociación de Fútbol de Senegal, y para todos los involucrados en este éxito”, escribió Infantino.
“También es responsabilidad de los equipos y jugadores actuar de manera responsable y dar el ejemplo correcto para los aficionados en los estadios y millones que miran en todo el mundo”, subrayó.

FBI Announces $100,000 Reward After Government Vehicles Broken Into In Minneapolis
FBI Announces $100,000 Reward After Government Vehicles Broken Into In Minneapolis
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
The FBI said it is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and capture of individuals who allegedly stole government property out of an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis, as it announced the arrest of one suspect.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday announced the arrest in a post on social media, saying the bureau is “continuing to pursue other subjects involved” in the incident.
The suspect was identified as a member of the Latin Kings street gang who has a violent criminal history, Patel said, adding that “there will be more arrests” in the case.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the arrest was carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The suspect allegedly stole FBI weapons and body armor, she said.
Hours before, on Thursday evening, the FBI said on social media that it would provide the reward “for information leading to the recovery of stolen government property and/or the arrest of individuals responsible for the destruction and theft of government property,” as it included photos of the aftermath of the incident.
Multiple government vehicles were “vandalized and broken into, and government property was stolen from inside the vehicles,” the statement said, adding that it came in response to an assault on a federal officer in North Minneapolis.
The suspect’s name and immigration status were not provided in either social media post. It’s also not clear how many other suspects are being pursued.
Meanwhile, protests have persisted in the Minneapolis area in the wake of a shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a traffic stop. Video footage of the incident appears to show the woman, identified as Renee Good, driving a vehicle and moving it toward an agent, who opens fire.
During the incident, the ICE agent involved in the shooting was injured and hospitalized, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Jan. 7.
“The officer was hit by the vehicle,” Noem told reporters on Jan. 7. “She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released.”
The reward offer comes as President Donald Trump said that Minnesota officials and citizens are impeding U.S. law enforcement operations in Minnesota, warning he would send in the military under the Insurrection Act.
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,” Trump said in a Truth Social post this week.
Presidents have invoked the law more than two dozen times, most recently in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush to end unrest in Los Angeles. In that instance, local authorities asked for the assistance.
Democrats in the state, including Gov. Tim Walz, have been critical of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in the state and have accused the government of violating residents’ rights.
“I’m making a direct appeal to the President: Let’s turn the temperature down. Stop this campaign of retribution. This is not who we are,” Walz wrote on X.

Milei convoca al Congreso a ratificar acuerdo Mercosur-UE en sesiones extraordinarias
Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES (AP) — El presidente argentino Javier Milei convocó a sesiones extraordinarias del Congreso en febrero para una pronta aprobación del flamante tratado comercial del Mercosur con la Unión Europea. Para que entre en vigor, el pacto requiere el aval de los parlamentos europeos y sudamericanos.
A través de un decreto publicado el lunes, el mandatario fijó desde el 2 hasta el 27 de febrero el período de funcionamiento del Parlamento fuera del calendario ordinario.
La nota oficial incluyó dentro de los asuntos a debatir el Acuerdo de Libre Comercio entre los cinco países del Mercosur —Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay y Bolivia– y la UE firmado el sábado en Asunción tras casi tres décadas de negociaciones. Se trata de la zona de libre comercio más grande del mundo y representa una cuarta parte del producto interno bruto mundial.
La alianza intercontinental, de características y magnitud inéditas, prevé eliminar paulatinamente los aranceles sobre casi todos los bienes comercializados entre los dos bloques durante los próximos 15 años. Ello supondría el fin de las elevadas tarifas que presionan sectores claves en ambas puntas del Atlántico como la industria automotriz, los productos lácteos, la carne y el vino.
Del lado europeo el tratado deberá ser ratificado por mayoría en el Parlamento de la UE para los capítulos puramente comerciales, lo cual los negociadores esperan se concrete en el primer semestre de este año pese a la férrea oposición de países como Francia, Polonia, Hungría, Austria e Irlanda. Otros asuntos necesitarán el visto bueno de los Parlamentos nacionales de cada uno de los países que integran el bloque.
Tras la firma el tratado, Milei adelantó que la Argentina “avanzará decididamente” hacia la ratificación legislativa del acuerdo, lo cual “permitirá transformar los consensos internacionales en reglas internas estables, con respaldo democrático y previsibilidad jurídica”.
Cardenales de EEUU instan a Trump a adoptar brújula moral en política exterior
Por NICOLE WINFIELD y GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO
ROMA (AP) — Tres cardenales católicos de Estados Unidos instaron el lunes a la administración Trump a utilizar una brújula moral en la búsqueda de su política exterior, afirmando que la acción militar en Venezuela, las amenazas de adquirir Groenlandia y los recortes en la ayuda exterior corren el riesgo de provocar sufrimiento en lugar de promover la paz.
En una declaración conjunta, los cardenales Blase Cupich de Chicago, Robert McElroy de Washington y Joseph Tobin de Newark, Nueva Jersey, advirtieron que sin una visión moral, el debate actual sobre la política exterior de Washington estaba sumido en “polarización, partidismo e intereses económicos y sociales estrechos”.
“La mayor parte de Estados Unidos y del mundo están a la deriva moralmente en términos de política exterior”, manifestó McElroy a The Associated Press. “Todavía creo que Estados Unidos tiene un impacto tremendo en el mundo”.
La declaración fue inusual y marcó la segunda vez en tantos meses que miembros de la jerarquía católica norteamericana han alzado su voz contra una administración Trump que muchos creen no está defendiendo los principios básicos de la dignidad humana. En noviembre, toda la conferencia de obispos católicos del país condenó la deportación masiva de migrantes por parte de la administración y su “vilificación” en el discurso público.
Los tres cardenales, figuras prominentes en el ala más progresista de la iglesia estadounidense, tomaron como punto de partida un importante discurso sobre política exterior que el papa León XIV pronunció el 9 de enero ante embajadores acreditados ante la Santa Sede.
El discurso, pronunciado casi en su totalidad en inglés, constituyó la crítica más sustancial de León a la política exterior de Washington. El primer papa nacido en Estados Unidos en la historia denunció cómo las naciones estaban utilizando la fuerza para afirmar su dominio en todo el mundo, “socavando completamente” la paz y el orden legal internacional posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
El pontífice no nombró a países individuales, pero su discurso se produjo en el contexto de la entonces reciente captura del presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro, las amenazas de tomar Groenlandia y la invasión rusa de Ucrania.
Cardenales cuestionan el uso de la fuerza
Los tres cardenales citaron a Venezuela, Groenlandia y Ucrania en su declaración, diciendo que “plantearon preguntas básicas sobre el uso de la fuerza militar y el significado de la paz”, así como los recortes a la ayuda exterior que la administración del presidente Donald Trump inició el año pasado.
“El papel moral de nuestro país en la confrontación del mal en todo el mundo, el sostenimiento del derecho a la vida y la dignidad humana, y el apoyo a la libertad religiosa están todos bajo examen”, advirtieron.
“Renunciamos a la guerra como instrumento para intereses nacionales estrechos y proclamamos que la acción militar debe ser vista solo como un último recurso en situaciones extremas, no como un instrumento normal de política nacional”, escribieron. “Buscamos una política exterior que respete y avance el derecho a la vida humana, la libertad religiosa y el mejoramiento de la dignidad humana en todo el mundo, especialmente a través de la asistencia económica”.
Tobin describió la brújula moral que los cardenales desean que Estados Unidos utilice a nivel global.
“No puede ser que mi prosperidad se base en el trato inhumano a otros”, dijo a la AP. “El verdadero argumento no es solo mi derecho o los derechos individuales, sino cuál es el bien común”.
Cardenales amplían su declaración en entrevistas con AP
En entrevistas, Cupich y McElroy declararon que los firmantes se inspiraron después de escuchar a varios cardenales durante una reunión del 7 al 8 de enero en el Vaticano. Estos otros cardenales expresaron alarma por la acción de Estados Unidos en Venezuela, sus recortes en la ayuda exterior y sus amenazas de adquirir Groenlandia, indicó Cupich.
Un día después, el discurso de casi 45 minutos del papa al cuerpo diplomático dio a los estadounidenses el lenguaje que necesitaban, permitiéndoles “aprovechar” las palabras del papa, sostuvo Cupich.
Cupich reconoció que un juicio a Maduro podría verse positivamente, pero no de la manera en que se hizo, a través de una incursión militar en un país soberano.
“Cuando procedemos de tal manera que parece decir ‘Lo hacemos porque podemos, porque la fuerza hace el derecho’ — eso es un desarrollo preocupante”, dijo. “Hay un Estado de Derecho que debería seguirse”.
Trump ha insistido en que capturar a Maduro fue legal. Sobre Groenlandia, Trump argumenta que Estados Unidos necesita el control de la isla rica en recursos, una región semiautónoma del aliado de la OTAN Dinamarca, para su seguridad nacional.
La administración Trump el año pasado redujo significativamente la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID), diciendo que sus proyectos promueven una agenda liberal y eran un desperdicio de dinero.
Tobin, quien ministró en más de 70 países como sacerdote redentorista y superior general de la orden, lamentó el retroceso en la asistencia de USAID, diciendo que la filantropía de Estados Unidos marca una gran diferencia en todo, desde el hambre hasta la salud.
Los tres cardenales apuntaron que su objetivo no era criticar a la administración, sino más bien alentar a Estados Unidos a recuperar su posición moral en el mundo al perseguir una política exterior que esté éticamente guiada y busque el bien común.
“No estamos respaldando un partido político o un movimiento político”, enfatizó Tobin. Los fieles en los bancos y todas las personas de buena voluntad tienen un papel que desempeñar, dijo.
“Pueden hacer un argumento a favor de una decencia humana básica”, afirmó.

FMI mejora previsión de crecimiento de la economía mundial a 3,3% este año
Por PAUL WISEMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) — Un crecimiento inesperadamente robusto de la economía mundial quizá hará caso omiso de las políticas comerciales proteccionistas del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump este año, gracias en parte a un aumento de la inversión en inteligencia artificial en Norteamérica y Asia, indicó el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) en un informe publicado el lunes.
La organización de préstamos de 191 naciones espera que el crecimiento global sea del 3,3% este año, igual que en 2025, pero superior al 3,1% que había pronosticado para 2026 en octubre pasado.
La economía mundial “sigue mostrando una notable resiliencia a pesar de las considerables interrupciones comerciales lideradas por Estados Unidos y la creciente incertidumbre”, escribieron el economista jefe del FMI, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, y su colega Tobias Adrian en una publicación de blog que acompaña la última actualización del Panorama Económico Mundial del fondo.
Se prevé que la economía de Estados Unidos, beneficiada por el ritmo más fuerte de inversión en tecnología desde 2001, se expanda un 2,4% este año, una mejora respecto al pronóstico de octubre del fondo y al crecimiento esperado para 2025, ambos del 2,1%.
Se espera que China, la segunda economía más grande del mundo, experimente un crecimiento del 4,5%, una mejora respecto al 4,2% que el FMI había predicho en octubre, en parte porque una tregua comercial con Estados Unidos ha reducido los aranceles estadounidenses sobre las exportaciones chinas.
India, que ha reemplazado a China como la economía mayor de más rápido crecimiento en el mundo, se espera que vea una desaceleración del crecimiento del 7,3% del año pasado (cuando fue impulsada por un inesperadamente fuerte segundo semestre) a un aún saludable 6,4% en 2026.

Denied Nobel Peace Prize, Donald Trump tells Norway he’ll push for Greenland
President Donald Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend.
Jonas Gahr Store, Norway’s leader, received the text message Sunday, three European officials familiar with the matter said Monday.
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” according to the message, which was first published by PBS.
In the message, Trump also questioned Denmark’s claim to Greenland, saying, “There are no written documents,” and adding, “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!”
Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for more than 300 years, and world leaders have condemned Trump’s insistence that the United States take over the territory, a giant icebound island in the Arctic region.
Store said in a statement that Trump’s text message was a response to a message Store sent to Trump on Sunday asking to speak to him about the crisis over Greenland and about Trump’s threat of using tariffs to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland to the United States, which Denmark has refused to do.
“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” Store said.
Trump has repeatedly challenged Denmark’s claims to Greenland, but in decades-old agreements that the United States has signed with Denmark, the United States has explicitly recognized that Greenland is part of the Danish Kingdom.

Bayer Shares Surge After Supreme Court To Hear Roundup Appeal; Is The Decade-Long Bear Market Over?
Bayer Shares Surge After Supreme Court To Hear Roundup Appeal; Is The Decade-Long Bear Market Over?
Bayer AG shares moved higher in European trading after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear its appeal of a Roundup verdict, raising new hopes the ruling could undermine thousands of related lawsuits over cancer risks.
Last Friday, the Supreme Court said it would hear an appeal from Bayer, which petitioned the court last year. Bayer argues that users of the weedkiller shouldn’t be able to sue the company for failure to warn about cancer risks because federal regulators have determined that Roundup’s main chemical, glyphosate, does not require a cancer warning.
The case challenges a $1.25 million Missouri jury award over claims Bayer failed to warn that Roundup causes cancer. Bayer argues the claims are preempted by federal law and maintains the product is safe.
The Wall Street Journal noted, “The Supreme Court will likely hear arguments in the case this spring, with a ruling expected by early July. If Bayer prevails, it could help lead to the dismissal of thousands of cases against the company.”
The lawsuit stems from Bayer’s $63 billion acquisition of Monsanto, the developer of Roundup, in 2018. Glyphosate remains the most heavily used herbicide on American farms, with 300 million pounds applied annually.
The Roundup litigation sent Bayer shares in Europe into a decade-long bear market. In 2025, what appears to be a bottoming year, the stock troughed near 2004 levels around 20 euros and has since more than doubled to roughly 44 euros. Shares are up more than 7% on Monday.
“The Supreme Court decision to take the case is good news for U.S. farmers, who need regulatory clarity,” Bayer CEO Bill Anderson told WSJ in a statement. “It’s also an important step in our multi-pronged strategy to significantly contain this litigation.”
Last month, the Trump administration urged the Supreme Court to take up the Roundup case.
The EPA has “repeatedly determined that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic in humans, and the agency has repeatedly approved Roundup labels that did not contain cancer warnings,” Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in a December legal brief.
“A manufacturer should not be left subject to 50 different labeling regimes prescribing different requirements,” Sauer said.
Bayer said it expects a Supreme Court decision by summer. Watch shares of the company likely squeeze higher.

Green Day abrirá el 60º Super Bowl con ceremonia para jugadores más valiosos
JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — La NFL celebrará el 60 aniversario del Super Bowl con un acto de apertura en su ciudad natal.
Green Day dará inicio al gran juego con una ceremonia inaugural el 8 de febrero en el Levi’s Stadium en Santa Clara, California, anunció la liga el domingo. La actuación celebrará seis décadas de la historia del campeonato, y la banda ayudará a dar la bienvenida a generaciones de MVP (jugadores más valiosos) del Super Bowl al campo.
Se espera que el trío, formado en la Bahía de San Francisco e integrado por Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt y Tré Cool, interprete una selección de sus himnos más conocidos como parte del tributo.
“¡Estamos superemocionados de abrir el Super Bowl 60 justo en nuestro patio trasero!”, dijo el vocalista Armstrong. “Nos sentimos honrados de dar la bienvenida a los MVP que han dado forma al juego y de abrir la noche para los fans de todo el mundo. ¡Divirtámonos! ¡Hagamos ruido!”.
La ceremonia se transmitirá en vivo a las 3:00 p.m. (2300 GMT) hora del Pacífico por NBC, Telemundo, Peacock y Universo.
“Celebrar 60 años de historia del Super Bowl con Green Day como una banda local, al tiempo que honramos a las leyendas de la NFL que han ayudado a definir este deporte, es una manera increíblemente poderosa de iniciar el Super Bowl LX”, dijo Tim Tubito, el director senior de presentación de eventos y juegos de la liga. “Al trabajar junto a NBC Sports para esta ceremonia de apertura, esperamos crear una celebración colectiva para los fanáticos en el estadio y alrededor del mundo”.
La ceremonia de apertura tendrá lugar antes del entretenimiento previo al juego, en el cual Charlie Puth interpretará el himno nacional, Brandi Carlile cantará “America the Beautiful” y Coco Jones ofrecerá “Lift Every Voice and Sing”.
Más adelante Bad Bunny se encargará del espectáculo de medio tiempo.
Futures, Global Markets Sink, Gold Soars On Trump Tariff Threat
Futures, Global Markets Sink, Gold Soars On Trump Tariff Threat
Stocks sold off and gold hit a new record as trade tensions between the US and Europe erupted over Trump’s push to take control of Greenland (which we learn today is due to Norway’s snub of Trump for the Nobel peace prize). While US cash markets are closed for the MLK holiday, S&P futures dropped 1.1% and Nasdaq futures tumbled 1.4%, while Europe’s Stoxx 600 was on track for its worst day in two months led by luxury stocks and German automakers as BMW dropped 3%. The dollar retreated 0.2%, while the Swiss franc outperformed. Gold topped $4,670 an ounce. US markets are shut today for a public holiday.
In corporate news Nvidia supplier Micron Technology said an ongoing memory chip shortage has accelerated over the past quarter and reiterated that the crunch will last beyond this year due to a surge in demand for high-end semiconductors required for AI infrastructure.
Apple Inc. retook the top spot in China after iPhone shipments jumped 28% during the holiday quarter despite a worsening shortage of vital memory chips, according to Counterpoint Research.
Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said the electric carmaker will resume work on the Dojo3 project after making progress on the design of its AI5 chip.
Bayer AG’s shares surged after the US Supreme Court said it would hear the company’s appeal in a Roundup case that could undercut thousands of lawsuits tied to the weedkiller.
Stocks around the world were knocked lower by Trump’s threat to impose levies on countries opposing his bid to assert authority over Greenland, which risks reigniting the tariff-fueled volatility that rattled markets in the early months of his second term. The selloff deepened as Monday’s session wore on after European officials signaled they were unlikely to back down and were considering retaliation.
“Markets are sensitive to the dynamic developments regarding new tariffs as a basis for negotiating security issues,” said Guillermo Hernandez Sampere, head of trading at MPPM. “Rising uncertainty, as seen last year, will weigh on all markets.”
The standoff is coming at a time when risk appetite has been supported by resilient corporate earnings and sustained investment in artificial intelligence. The outlook will hinge in part on the European Union’s response, with the bloc in talks to impose tariffs on €93 billion of US goods.
“The key element to watch in the coming days is whether the message translates into formal measures or remains purely rhetorical, which would make a clear difference in the market reaction,” said Francisco Simón, European head of strategy at Santander Asset Management.
The tensions are also adding to the significance of a pending US Supreme Court ruling on some of Trump’s earlier tariffs, with a decision possible as soon as Tuesday.
“It is not about whether the US can roughly maintain its tariff levels,” wrote Krishna Guha, head of central bank strategy at Evercore ISI. It is “rather about whether Trump has to use regular order to impose tariffs, reducing uncertainty and his ability to weaponize tariffs for geopolitical purposes.”
Trump’s threats raise the possibility of European governments trimming their holdings of US assets, supporting the euro, according to George Saravelos, Deutsche Bank’s global head of FX research. As we reported last night, Europe is the US’s largest lender with its countries owning $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined.
“The key thing to watch will be whether the EU decides to activate its anti-coercion instrument,” Saravelos said. “It is a weaponization of capital, rather than trade flows, that would by far be the most disruptive to markets.”
While Trump’s threats have reignited the ‘Sell America’ trade, some traders expect the swings to be short-lived.
“My working assumption is that an ‘off-ramp’ from these threats will soon be found,” said Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone. “With the fundamental bull case for risk still a resilient one, and providing that any European retaliation remains largely rhetorical, I would view equity dips as buying opportunities.”
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 is down 1.3%, on track for its worst day in two months. Autos & parts, luxury and tech are seeing a brunt of the selling pressure. There is no US cash trading today, however, futures are notably weaker with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq contracts down 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively. Here are the biggest movers Monday:
D’Ieteren shares gain as much as 9.2% after the auto distributor announced that its Belron unit had successfully repriced a loan, while the Financial Times reported that Belron was in talks on a stock market listing
Bayer shares rise as much as 8.4% after the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the German company’s appeal taking aim at thousands of lawsuits targeting Roundup weedkiller for causing cancer
Ageas shares rise as much as 3.3%, the most since June, after the Belgian health insurance firm boosted its net operating profit guidance for the full year, beating the average analyst estimate
ASM International shares rise as much as 2.5%, bucking a decline in Europe’s tech sector, after the chip equipment firm reported preliminary orders well ahead of consensus estimates, while seeing a “healthy increase” in 1Q revenue versus 4Q
Europe’s tariff-exposed sectors — including autos, drinks and shipping — are trading lower on Monday, after President Donald Trump announced on Saturday a new 10% levy on eight countries opposed to his plans to seize Greenland
LVMH drops as much as 4.8%, and is among the weakest members of the Stoxx 600 consumer products and services index on Monday, as Morgan Stanley downgrades to equal-weight
Adidas shares fall as much as 4.8% to the lowest level since November, after Bank of America forecast the sportwear retailer’s fourth-quarter sales to undershoot market expectations
Banca Generali shares declined as much as 5.2% in Milan trading, the most since Aug. 21, after Kepler Cheuvreux analysts cut the recommendation on the stock to hold from buy, ahead of the 2025 results
Asian stocks erased an early decline, as gains in South Korea and Taiwan defied broader market concerns over the latest tariff threats from Trump’s administration. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fluctuated in a narrow range, after capping its best week since early October. Benchmarks declined in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and India, amid global risk-off trading after Trump announced new levies on goods from European countries that have rallied to support Greenland. The tech-heavy markets of South Korea and Taiwan shrugged off the regional selloff, extending rallies driven in large part by investor optimism over artificial intelligence demand. TSMC and SK Hynix rose, even after US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Friday that Korean and Taiwanese companies that aren’t investing in the US may face up to 100% tariffs.
In rates, bunds are a touch higher, coinciding with a decline in European natural gas futures, which are trimming last week’s rally. UST and gilt futures are slightly weaker. The yield on 30-year Japanese debt climbed 11 basis points to 3.58%, while rates on 10- and 20-year notes rose to their highest levels since 1999.
In FX, the dollar is softer versus most peers with the Bloomberg Dollar Index down 0.1%. The euro has been resilient in the face of the trade conflict, but the Swedish krona and Norwegian krone are both weaker.
