US natural gas futures rose as much as 7.4% in sympathy with global gas prices, which have surged in response to renewed conflict in the Middle East and Qatar shutting liquefied natural gas production at the world’s largest LNG plant. However, the widening spread between US and overseas gas prices does not provide much of an opportunity for arbitrage by US exporters in the near-term, given US LNG export terminals are already producing supplies near maximum capacity, meaning cheap shale gas will remain stuck in the US even as overseas prices surge. The US gas price jump “certainly isn’t supported by the fundamentals I am seeing,” said Gary Cunningham , director of market research at Tradition Energy. Weather forecasts also shifted warmer this weekend, indicating lower demand for the heating and power-plant fuel. “We see the current move as overstated and not likely to hold at full force once the market opens and more liquidity is added to the board.” Futures for April delivery +12.3c, or +4.3%, to $2.982/mmbtu on Nymex, as of 9:12am ET Weather: Forecasts shifted warmer, with above-average temperatures expected across the US through March 6 and the eastern half of the US from March 7-11: Commodity Weather Group See WHUT for a map of latest 6-10 day weather forecast: NOAA Click here for two-week temperature forecasts for the U.S. Daily BNEF Gas Data: Lower-48 dry gas production on Monday ~110.2 bcf/day, or +2.6% y/y Lower-48 total gas demand on Monday ~93.1 bcf/day, or -2.0% y/y Dry gas exports to Mexico on Monday ~4.4 bcf/day, or -33% w/w Lowest since Feb. 17, 2021 Estimated gas flows to LNG export terminals on Monday ~19.5 bcf/day, or -2.1% w/w Gas Market News: Gas Prices Surge as Qatar Shuts World’s Largest LNG Export Plant LNG Supply at Risk If Hormuz Halt Goes Beyond a Week: React European Bonds Drop as Energy Disruption Signals Fewer Rate Cuts

On Friday evening, amidst fallout from a standoff between the Department of Defense and Anthropic, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that his own company had successfully negotiated new terms with the Pentagon. The US government had just moved to blacklist Anthropic for standing firm on two red lines for military use: no mass surveillance of Americans and no lethal autonomous weapons (or AI systems with the power to kill targets without human oversight ). Altman, however, implied that he'd found a unique way to keep those same limits in OpenAI's contract. "Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillan … Read the full story at The Verge.

shironosov/iStock via Getty Images This past week, for follow-up Friday, I revisited a REIT I covered last autumn, which just had its latest earnings results on Feb. 26th, beating estimates. RLJ Lodging Trust ( RLJ ) is a hotel REIT that happens to be up around +7.9% since I rated it a Buy last November, and so today's research dives into this stock again using the latest data and additional angles to consider. This Maryland-based REIT that owns primarily premium-branded, high-margin, focused-service, and compact full-service hotels was particularly interesting to me last time due to its upgrade by Raymond James, and it was trading below book value. In fact, in the interest of disclosure, I also picked up a few shares myself in the meantime. As we enter March, though, geopolitical conflicts are disrupting the travel and hotel sector in some parts of the world, so it is worth taking another look at hotel REITs since peak summer travel seasons are just months away. Thesis Summary Based on my updated research, and even though I happen to be a small shareholder, I pulled back my prior Buy rating to a Hold, and here is why. Consider the 8 rating factors that drove my score today: RLJ - rating worksheet (author) While there are some reassuring macro forecasts in the hotel segment, despite geopolitical conflicts lately, and there is a compelling dividend recovery story here, the rest of this stock has been mostly muted at best, but not quite one I would just toss into the hotel laundry chute either. The RLJ brand, which is tied to serial entrepreneur Robert L. Johnson , who is known as the former chairman of BET Network and named by USA Today as "one of the 25 Most Influential Business Leaders of the Past 25 Years," seems to be betting on renovations and upgrades, and so the challenge will be to show how this strategy will translate into increased revenue per room over the next several years, but it also partners with major global hotel brands who put their name on those p...

FabrikaCr/iStock via Getty Images No Need To Sell ET On Its Rip As I'm writing these lines, mostly global gold producers and US-based energy companies are on the pre-market rise - most other high-beta stocks (especially tech and communication representatives) are down on the US-Iran conflict escalation. Energy Transfer LP ( ET ) units are rising as well, although the firm is a midstream player who doesn't have a clean direct exposure to the rising commodity prices. Plus, the company depends mainly on the gas/NG prices, not crude oil. However, as far as I understand, ET is indirectly benefiting from higher oil production in the US, as the need for its pipes/terminals skyrockets when the US producers start to produce more hydrocarbons. I think one doesn't need to sell ET units on this rip because there's a chance we'll see a repricing to the upside for the whole energy sector, and that makes ET look less "fairly valued" today, in my view. In other words, what might have pushed some value investors after ET's recent rally is that the unit's valuation premium to its historical average multiples looked quite wide. But now the extension/deviation started to look normal amid the existing opportunities ET has. Since my rating upgrade to a "Strong Buy" in late December, ET has managed to add over 17% (total returns), and I think it might be just the beginning for unitholders. Seeking Alpha, the author's coverage of ET units I remain strongly bullish on ET. The US-Iran Conflict's Impact On ET Let's first take a look at the consensus views on the energy market. According to EIA's study , the Brent crude oil price is expected to fall down to ~$53 per barrel by 2027 amid constant production in the US. EIA So, the market seems to ignore any structural shifts in the global hydrocarbons markets. Here comes the US operation Epic Fury that might change it eventually, in my opinion. Why the long-tail hydrocarbons prices may be lifted because of this operation? It's simple - if the US ...

Trevor Williams/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Mike Larson Private credit worries. Idiosyncratic loan defaults. They started taking down shares of specialty lenders and Business Development Companies (BDCs) months ago. But diversified financials held firm. Until now. On Friday, the financial sector got pummeled - with both the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF ( KRE ) and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLF ) dropping sharply. In fact, KRE tanked more than 5%. That was its worst one-day drop since mid-October, as you can see in the MoneyShow Chart of the Day. Source: StockCharts I’ve covered the underlying issues in private credit before ( See this piece , for instance.) But I’ve also noted that broader indicators of credit stress have held up - and the pain was largely contained to lenders and sectors more directly involved. Now, that’s starting to change. And it’s not just worries about private credit loan defaults that have markets on edge, either. Stocks throughout the financial industry are also sagging amid fears AI will disrupt their highly profitable business models. Specifically, investors are asking: If AI software can do more sophisticated tax and financial planning, help investors manage their own wealth, or easily compare prices for even complex insurance coverage... who needs “Big Finance?” The action definitely bears watching. We need sectors like financials, materials, and industrials to continue to hang in with technology taking on water. If they can’t, the broader market is going to struggle. No, I’m not giving up my big-picture “Be Bold” thesis. But I will continue to note that Q1 - and maybe even H1 - are going to be rougher than we’re used to. Plan (and trade) accordingly!
