Tomas Ragina/iStock via Getty Images By Padhraic Garvey, CFA , Regional Head of Research, Americas Can we identify echos from the 2003 Iraq war for Treasuries and rates? In 2003, in the weeks leading up to the war in Iraq, the US 10yr Treasury yield fell from 3.95% to 3.55%, a 40bp drop over a three-to-four-week period. Not all of this was reflective of the upcoming war, but a lot of it was. There was an overt build-up of military presence as the coalition of the willing got ready. Hostilities finally kicked off on 20 March 2003, by which time the 10yr yield had popped back up to the 4.1% area. And in the first couple of weeks of the attack on Iran, the 10yr yield fell back down to the 3.8% area. The dominant impact impulse, over consecutive weeks, was in the direction of lower yields (a flight into Treasuries). Just for context, the Fed funds rate was at 1.25% at the time (tail end of the dot.com bust). In fact, it got cut to a 1% low later in 2003. While the funds rate is at a different level today, it just so happens that the 10yr yield is in the same ballpark as it was back then. The events of the past few days are clearly not a perfect repeat of the Iraq War. But it is interesting to view the magnitude of change. We're not suggesting this is determinative; just making the comparison to help set some expectations and identify some differences. One was a much lower effect on the oil price back then (Iraqi exports had already been slashed, so the oil price impact was minimal). Fast-forwarding to today, we identify some important nuances Turning to now, the US 10yr yield shot to below 4% (to just above 3.9%) as the war with Iran broke out but quickly reverted to above 4% (hitting 4.1% briefly). At the extreme, that's a 20bp swing. It's also a far swifter reversion higher in yield than would be expected based on the Iraq War experience. The 2/10yr curve has also flattened, as it did in the lead-up to the Iraq War. This flattening process is quite striking and fits w...
A prolonged Iran war is a risk to the bank-stock powered rallies in Japan and Europe as investors abandon these markets in favor of exposure to oil and the US dollar, Bank of America’s Michael Hartnett said.

A prolonged Iran war is a risk to the bank-stock powered rallies in Japan and Europe as investors abandon these markets in favor of exposure to oil and the US dollar, Bank of America’s Michael Hartnett said. Investors are likely to shift to assets that are “beneficiaries of extended conflict,” at the expense of “oil importers with minimal energy equity exposure,” such as Korea, Japan and Europe, the strategist said. US technology and global defense are among sectors that could gain during this rotation. It’s a scenario that has already started playing out since the US and Israel launched their attacks against Iran and as the conflict has spread. European stocks are on course for their worst weekly drop since last April’s tariff turmoil and the same is true of Japan’s Nikkei 225 index. Volatile trading in Korean equities saw the Kospi index notch both a record decline and the biggest gain since 2008. The war has entered a seventh day, with investors focused on the near-total halt to energy shipments through the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Hartnett said further escalation of the conflict could include an “all-in” effort from America to “secure oil supply to power US AI supremacy.” The outbreak of war threatens to upend a long-standing call by Hartnett to favor assets outside the US. The strategist has maintained a preference for international equities since late 2024, a recommendation that proved prescient as the S&P 500’s 15% gain over that period trailed an advance of 33% in the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index.

Investing is complicated, and during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, it gets even more difficult. For many investors, it makes sense to include an investment that is considered a store of wealth as a hedge against adversity. Historically, that role was played by gold, but now some look to Bitcoin (BTC 3.89%) and other cryptocurrencies to fill it. A better choice might be Franco-Nevada (FNV 2.71%). Here's why. What is the point of owning a store of wealth? While some market watchers suggest the stock market is efficient, anyone who invests in it knows it can be wildly unpredictable over short periods. In the end, investor emotions are a big driver of near-term market performance, which is why it can make sense to own an investment that has value beyond the stock market. Traditionally, gold has been a key store of wealth. In fact, during turbulent times, investors often buy gold in an attempt to protect themselves from potential stock declines. More recently, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been used to fill this role, since they aren't controlled by a government entity. The problem is that the value of Bitcoin is largely dictated by investor emotions, just like stocks. Moreover, the safe-haven value of crypto hasn't really been tested by a deep and prolonged bear market. In fact, as geopolitical turmoil has increased, Bitcoin's price has been plunging. The price of gold, by contrast, has been hovering near all-time highs. Franco-Nevada is a gold alternative The big problem with gold is that an ounce of the precious metal will only ever be an ounce of gold. There's no growth opportunity; the price has to increase for you to make any money. Franco-Nevada is a gold streaming and royalty company. It provides gold miners cash up front for the right to buy precious metals at reduced rates in the future, which effectively locks in a profit on the sale of those metals.

(RTTNews) - Indian shares fell sharply on Friday as the Middle East war unleashed by U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran swelled outwards to Cyprus, Sri Lanka, Turkey and Azerbaijan, raising concerns about the outlook for trade, prices and investment. Oil prices continued to rise and were set for hefty weekly gains as the furious military operations in the Middle East region entered 7th day. Brent crude surged nearly 16 percent since the Iran conflict began and briefly touched $86 per barrel, raising concerns about the potential impact on rupee, fund flows, inflation and the import bill. Indian refiners are now balancing purchases from both Russian cargoes at sea & other sources to ensure an uninterrupted domestic fuel supply after the United States issued a temporary 30-day waiver allowing Indian refiners to purchase Russian crude oil already in transit. The benchmark BSE Sensex tumbled 1,097 points, or 1.37 percent, to 78,918.90 while the broader NSE Nifty index plummeted 315.45 points, or 1.27 percent, to 24,450.45. The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indexes slid 0.7 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. The market breadth was weak on the BSE, with 2,303 shares falling while 1,895 shares advanced and 176 shares closed unchanged. Among the prominent decliners, Bharti Airtel, Maruti Suzuki India, IndiGo, Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj FinServ, SBI, HDFC Bank, UltraTech Cement, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and Eternal lost 2-3 percent. IT stocks saw selective buying, with Infosys and HCL Technologies closing with modest gains. Sun Pharma gained 0.7 percent, Reliance Industries added 1.1 percent and BEL surged 1.8 percent. Defense stocks surged due to expectations of increased spending in the wake of heightened geopolitical tensions. DCX Systems soared 7.4 percent and Mazagon Dock climbed 5 percent.

Palantir (PLTR) is trading at $152.14 as of 4:33 pm UTC on 5 March 2026, within an intraday range of $146.75–$155.27. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Support for the stock's underlying business narrative continues to stem from Palantir's Q4 FY2025 results, in which revenue grew 70% year on year to $1.41 billion, beating analyst estimates, while the company issued full-year 2026 revenue guidance of approximately $7.19 billion, implying 61% growth and well above the prior consensus of around $6.27 billion (Yahoo Finance, 2 February 2026). Defence contract momentum remains a key driver, with Palantir holding a $10 billion U.S. Army framework agreement and a $448 million Navy ShipOS deal, amid an escalating U.S.–Iran geopolitical backdrop that has renewed investor focus on defence-linked technology exposure (Reuters, 1 August 2025). Broader macro headwinds, including renewed tariff uncertainty after the Trump administration announced additional import levies in late February and lingering concerns over AI disruption risks across high-valuation software names, have weighed on the wider tech sector, contributing to PLTR's retreat from recent highs (Reuters, 3 February 2026). Palantir stock forecast 2026–2030: Third-party price targets As of 5 March 2026, third-party Palantir stock predictions have shifted markedly between late February and early March 2026, largely in response to the company's Q4 FY2025 earnings beat, its 2026 revenue guidance of approximately $7.19 billion, and rising geopolitical demand for defence AI software. The following notes summarise the most recent individual broker and consensus positions. Goldman Sachs (post-earnings target cut, Neutral) Goldman Sachs trimmed its 12-month PLTR stock forecast to $182 from $188, retaining a Neutral rating after Palantir's Q4 revenue came in at $1.41 billion, up 70% year on year, beating the firm's prior estimates. The cut reflects the bank's view that the stock's valuation – at ro...

Serghei Starus/iStock via Getty Images In October 2025, I wrote a bullish article about Whirlpool ( WHR ) when the stock traded in the $71 range. Whirlpool shares rallied to around $92 in February, but the stock has declined significantly since then. I have been buying this stock on sharp pullbacks for the past couple of years and selling after big gains. I think it is time to buy again. A lot has happened with Whirlpool since my last article, including Q4 earnings results and a recent capital raise that surprised many investors, sending the stock down to new 52-week lows. With this in mind, let's take a closer look at what might be yet another buying opportunity: The Chart As shown below, this stock traded for about $92 per share in February, but it has since plunged and recently hit new 52-week lows, just below $60 per share. This stock is now trading way below the 50-day moving average, which is around $79, and the 200-day moving average, which is just over $81. The only positive I see for the bulls on this chart is that Whirlpool shares now appear deeply oversold. This suggests a counter-trend rally could be coming soon. stockcharts.com I wanted to include this longer-term chart of Whirlpool shares because it shows the stock is now trading around the $60 lows it reached (and held) during the Covid pandemic market plunge. After hitting this low in 2020, the stock rebounded very sharply. This suggests the stock might be at strong support levels now, and if history repeats, this stock could be poised to rebound from current levels. finviz.com A Surprising Secondary Share Offering Creates Management Credibility Issues In late February, Whirlpool shocked many investors when it announced it was raising capital through a secondary share offering. The company sold shares at $69 per share and raised nearly $1 billion, in an effort to reduce leverage. Since the management team cut the dividend in 2025, I think many investors believed that management had done this to free ...

Sri Lanka began transferring more than 200 sailors from an Iranian vessel to shore on Friday after the ship sought help while anchored outside the country’s waters, as tensions mounted in the Indian Ocean following the sinking of an Iranian warship by a US submarine. Sri Lanka navy spokesman Commander Buddhika Sampath said the sailors of the IRIS Bushehr were being brought first to the port of Colombo and the ship will later be moved to an eastern port on the island. “The disembarkation is in progress,” he said, adding the sailors would be taken to the naval base at Welisara, about 20km (12 miles) north of Colombo, after medical exams and immigration procedures. Advertisement The move by the Sri Lankan government to take over the vessel came after the US sank the Iranian warship IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka’s coast on Wednesday. The strike marked one of the rare instances since World War II in which a submarine sank a surface warship, and highlighted the expanding scope of the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran.
