Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. NYSE U.S. stock futures were little changed on Wednesday night after both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose to fresh records during the regular session. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures both traded around the flatline. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 45 points, or 0.1%. In the regular session, the S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq rose to new all-time highs and closed at new records. The broad market index advanced 0.80%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.59% to post its 11th straight gain in a row. The blue-chip Dow bucked the trend, losing 72.27 points, or 0.15%. Stocks have risen in recent days on the possibility of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran. President Donald Trump said in a Fox Business interview that aired on Wednesday that the Iran war is " very close to over ," claiming once again that Tehran wants to "make a deal very badly." A White House official told CNBC on Tuesday that a second round of negotiations between Washington and Iran is under discussion. Nothing has been officially scheduled yet, according to the official, who asked not to be named to discuss the administration's internal plans. On Monday, the S&P 500 wiped out all of its losses since the beginning of the Iran war. "We're basically back to where we were in late February in terms of the sentiment indicators and the valuation," Tim Hayes, chief global investment strategist at Ned Davis Research, said on CNBC's " Closing Bell: Overtime " on Wednesday. "If we're going to continue higher, I think we are going to have to have a broadening out here and not be just about the Nasdaq." But Hayes also took on a cautionary tone, noting that investors may be too quick to jump into a market rally. "I'd be a little cautious right now. I don't think this is time to jump back in," he added. "There's a sort of a quick return to a lot of these stocks, but does it follow through? Does it broaden out? That remai...

Ole_CNX/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In my initial analysis of this ETF two years ago, I cited that the nuclear value chain should continue to grow given the drive for electrification and decarbonization. Today, we can add two other drivers for nuclear energy and uranium demand. The AI data center build-out will increase global electricity demand, and now, with the Iran War, energy security has become an equally important aspect of nuclear power development. While the ETF has performed very well over the last two years, our bottom-up analysis suggests further +20% upside potential to year-end 2026. I am maintaining my buy rating on Global X Uranium ETF ( URA ). URA continues to provide broad exposure to key uranium and nuclear manufacturing companies that, now more than ever, are strategic assets in a world thirsty for secure, clean, and cheap electricity. Performance and Peer Comps URA has substantially outperformed the S&P 500( SPX ) and, more importantly, vs its two main peers, VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF ( NLR ) & Sprott Uranium Miners ETF ( URNM ). The reason behind this outperformance is that NLR focuses on nuclear power generation (utilities) and not uranium mining, and URNM only focuses on uranium mining. URA has both. In terms of fees, all charge around 70 basis points. Performance comparison URA/S&P/NLR/URNM (Created by author with data from Capital IQ) What is URA? The ETF is managed by Global X, which is owned by Mirae Assets, a South Korean asset management company. That uses the Solactive Global Uranium & Nuclear Components Total Return Index . This combination influences portfolio construction, with exposure towards Asian companies, which have the most new reactor builds . The portfolio selection is based on Solactive criteria, which classify companies as pure-plays that can have as much as 22.5% weighting, or non-pure plays that are limited to 2% weighting and a maximum 15% for the portfolio.

【有線新聞】以色列持續打擊黎巴嫩真主黨據點，總理內塔尼亞胡表明軍事行動不會停止，據報美國向以方施壓停火，美國總統特朗普說以黎周四會再談判停火。 有片段見到穿著保護衣物的黎巴嫩醫護人員，在南部邁法敦地區將受傷被困的人用擔架抬上救護車期間，突然遭以軍的炮火攻擊，有車窗被震碎，另一批醫護人員增援到場，為傷者急救和將他們送院。 以軍指控真主黨利用救護車作掩護，展開軍事行動，對黎巴嫩救援人員發動針對性空襲造成傷亡。黎巴嫩衛生部譴責以色列連續攻擊醫護人員，公然違反國際法，以軍則指正調查事件。 以色列繼續對黎巴嫩南部發動空襲，沿海城市提爾多處冒出大量濃煙。以軍指過去24小時內精準打擊逾二百個真主黨目標，而真主黨聲稱對以色列北部軍事目標發射火箭還擊。 以黎日前在華盛頓舉行歷史性會談，據報華府向以色列施壓，要求兩國達成暫時停火一周的協議，亦有以色列消息人士透露，安全內閣正評估幾天內在黎巴嫩實施全面停火。 總理內塔尼亞發聲明，稱以軍即將佔領真主黨重要據點賓特朱拜勒地區，並指示以軍擴大緩衝區，又重申核心目標是瓦解真主黨勢力。真主黨批評黎巴嫩當局同意和談是走上錯誤道路，只會加劇國家內部分裂。

杜克能源 已寻求北卡罗来纳州监管机构批准其提高价格，并从客户那里收回8亿多美元，用于支付在冬季极端寒冷天气期间产生的较高燃料和电力采购成本。 该公司周三表示，正在寻求收回杜克能源卡罗莱纳公司约5亿美元以及杜克能源进步公司约3.09亿美元的冬季燃料和电力成本，如果获得批准，从6月1日开始，每月账单将分别提高约6.90美元和7.88美元。 杜克能源卡罗莱纳公司为北卡罗来纳州中部和西部约230万客户提供服务，而杜克能源进步公司则为该州中部和东部约160万客户提供服务。 该公司表示，1月底和2月初的极寒天气导致需求超出了现有的发电和储能能力，迫使其以高昂的市场价格从邻近的公用事业公司购买额外的电力。 杜克能源公司建议将成本回收期从通常的12个月延长至19个月，以减少对客户的直接影响。 该公司表示，1月27日的电力需求达到了37308兆瓦时的冬季新高，这是杜克能源公司卡罗莱纳系统有史以来的最高记录。 责任编辑：李桐

一位伊朗高级官员重申了伊朗的要求，即正在与美国进行的谈判必须包含以色列和黎巴嫩之间的停火。伊朗议会议长卡利巴夫在社交媒体上表示：“美国必须遵守该协议。” 美国总统特朗普的政府已表示，美国与伊朗的战争，同以色列与伊朗支持的黎巴嫩真主党之间的战斗，是两场独立的冲突。卡利巴夫说：“黎巴嫩全面停火的实现与巩固，将是真主党所进行的抵抗和不懈斗争以及‘抵抗轴心’团结一致的结果。”他所说的“抵抗轴心”是指伊朗领导的中东民兵组织联盟。 责任编辑：李桐

A federal jury ruled today that Live Nation and its Ticketmaster subsidiary operate an illegal monopoly that overcharged fans for tickets, handing a win to US states that continued a trial even after the Trump administration dropped out. The jury found that "Ticketmaster unlawfully maintains a monopoly in the market for ticketing services at major concert venues" and that "Live Nation has a monopoly in the market for large amphitheaters used by artists," said an announcement from the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James. The jury additionally determined "that Live Nation unlawfully requires artists who use the amphitheaters it owns to also use its event promotion services," and "that fans have been overcharged for concert tickets at major concert venues across the country," the New York AG's office said. A five-week trial was held in US District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to CNN , jurors found that "Ticketmaster overcharged states by $1.72 per ticket, about what the states had estimated." Evidence at trial showed that a Live Nation regional director boasted of gouging ticket buyers and “robbing them blind” with fees for ancillary services such as slight parking upgrades.

MSFT Stock Reclaims $400: A Relief Rally or Reset? FXLeaders

Oil steadied on signs that the US and Iran are working toward extending a ceasefire and restarting talks. West Texas Intermediate was little changed above $91 a barrel, after Brent settled near $95. Washington and Tehran are considering a two-week ceasefire extension to allow more time to negotiate, according to a person familiar with the matter. The global crude market remains laser-focused on the Strait of Hormuz , with shipments paralyzed as the war nears the end of its seventh week. The US has set up a naval blockade to cut off Iranian traffic, while Tehran is keeping the waterway closed to most other ships. “In the near term, I believe the market has realized that the panic buyers have left the space,” said Dennis Kissler , head of energy trading at Bok Financial Securities Inc. “In the end, it will all be about the peace agreement, and how safe the passage through the strait will be.” In the US, data showed stockpile declines for crude and all major refined-product categories. Heightened overseas demand pushed total oil and fuel exports to the highest level ever as buyers — especially in Asia — hunted for supplies.

Scharfsinn86/iStock via Getty Images Gevo ( GEVO ) down 11.6% post-market Wednesday after saying it withdrew its loan guarantee application with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Dominance Financing and will pursue other funding opportunities for its ATJ-30 sustainable aviation fuel project by the end of 2026. Gevo ( GEVO ) said it pulled its application after discussions with the DoE office revealed that required business objectives, specifically supporting enhanced oil recovery operations, are not yet commercially viable at scale in the project area and that there are opportunities for alternative financing better aligned with company strategy. The company had previously received a conditional loan commitment from the DoE for its ATJ-60 project in South Dakota and was seeking to transition the commitment to the smaller ATJ-30 project at its North Dakota facility in Richardton. "Over the past year, we have substantially derisked our position in low-carbon ethanol required for our ATJ, and we believe we are in a better position to secure alternative financing that allows us to pursue the most accretive business case in alignment with company strategy and timelines," Gevo ( GEVO ) CEO Paul Bloom said.

Harsa Maduranga/iStock via Getty Images The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF ( EMXC ) is a passive ETF that seeks to track the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index , a cap-weighted index that captures large and mid-cap equities across 23 of the 24 MSCI EM countries, excluding China. This fund is weighted towards Taiwanese semi’s, Korean memory, and Indian financials. The top holding is currently TSMC, which is about 18.10% of NAV. I am initiating EMXC as a buy on Seeking Alpha, as the structural trade out of China and into the rest of the broader emerging markets category is real, and it is being backstopped by a U.S. policy agenda around critical minerals and friend shoring that is bipartisan (and well-funded). This looks like a concentrated Asia technology/financials position within an Emerging Markets wrapper, and the relative value from that is worth more than the concentration, but not by much (which is why this is not a strong buy). Macro Backdrop YTD through early March the fund is up approx. ~20-21% on top of +60-62% on a trailing twelve-month basis. The 30-day SEC yield is approx. 2.38%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.00. The question is whether there is room left, and the answer seems to be yes, but not as much as there was two years ago. And, not without acknowledging the concentration risk with Taiwanese concentration sitting within the ETF. However, the fact that EMXC has outperformed the broader emerging market, such as seen with the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF ( EEM ), since inception in July 2017 is not a coincidence. It is the entire idea behind the buy, with the ex-CNY basket being the better basket, because China has been the worse allocation. I do not expect that to change over the next twelve months. The recent Capital Market Outlook by Merrill Lynch , the brokerage and wealth management arm of Bank of America Corporation ( BAC ), lays out two main things that matter directly for EMXC, with the first being productivity.
