SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images Crude oil futures rose Friday by the most in more than a week, as traders headed into the weekend seeing heightened risk of U.S. military action against Iran after talks between the two countries ended without a breakthrough. President Trump said he was "not happy" with the way talks are going but that he has not made a final decision on next steps - he said he preferred not to take military action, "but sometimes you have to. "Iran " cannot have nuclear weapons, and we're not thrilled with the way they're negotiating," the president told reporters at the White House. The U.S. Embassy in Israel said the State Department authorized non-emergency staff and their families to leave the country, citing safety risks. The U.S. and Iran agreed to extend indirect negotiations into next week, but traders are growing more skeptical that an agreement between the two sides is possible. "The likelihood Iran is going to agree to what the Trump administration wants doesn't seem possible," Price Futures Group senior analyst Phil Flynn said in a note. "There's got to be an end game to this, and the market seems to think that's where we are headed." Saudi Arabia has been boosting production and exports as part of a contingency plan ahead of a U.S. strike on Iran that could disrupt flows through the Strait of Hormuz; Saudi shipments jumped to ~7.3M bbl/day in the first 24 days of February, the highest since April 2023. Meanwhile, OPEC+ is expected to agree to resume production increases in April when it meets on Sunday; the group decided to keep output steady in Q1 following a series of production increases last year, but it is widely expected to resume hikes, starting with a modest increase of 137K bbl/day. Nevertheless, "supply-demand fundamentals remain stacked against a meaningful recovery," Nikos Tzabouras of Tradu said in a note. "Return of Venezuelan crude to an already well-supplied market and expectations of a resumption of OPEC+ output hik...

Lululemon Founder Blasts Board Again Amid Stock Collapse Lululemon Athletica founder Chip Wilson blasted the board in a fiery message to shareholders earlier and ramped up calls for activism as the athletic apparel retailer is set for a lost year, lagging behind competitors, losing market share, and entangled in multiple see-through-leggings quality-control controversies with customers. The nearly 70% collapse in Lululemon's market capitalization from its late-2023 peak of $511 per share to the current $186 level, compounded by 1.5 months of quality-control issues involving see-through leggings making headlines, has compelled Wilson to publish yet another update for shareholders, urging much-needed change at the board level. "In support of all shareholders, I am pursuing a campaign to catalyze a quantum of change that is sorely needed at Lululemon. To effect that change, I have pursued private, constructive dialogues with the Lululemon Board of Directors (the "Board") for the past few months. My attempts toward a sensible solution have not been reciprocated," Chip wrote in a message to shareholders on Friday. Chip's core issue with the board is the lack of brand, creative, and marketing expertise, creating a disconnect between the yoga-maker's product and brand strengths and the board's ability to translate those into durable margins and long-term shareholder value. He noted that the board ignored a reform framework in December that included three independent director candidates, adding that when the board finally responded more than 70 days later, the "response was weak and insufficient." Chip continued, "While we have proposed changing three directors, our strong feeling is that more than three directors should be replaced." In the third week of January, Chip blasted the board in a social media post over its "operational failure" involving the "Get Low" line, which was pulled from the e-commerce website for several days due to see-through quality issues before bei...
