Why Palantir's New Program of Record With the Pentagon Could Be a Game Changer The Globe and Mail

爱彼迎 正进一步拓展其核心住宿模式之外的服务，在亚洲、欧洲和拉丁美洲的125个城市推出私人机场接机服务，覆盖巴黎、巴厘岛和墨西哥城等地。该公司正持续构建一个更为整合的旅游生态系统。该服务通过与总部位于英国的Welcome Pickups合作推出，在用户预订住宿后直接显示在爱彼迎应用内，让用户能够安排前往住所的车辆，在某些情况下还可请求到达时的迎宾服务。此次扩张可能表明爱彼迎正持续努力，在保持其轻资产市场平台结构的同时，复制传统酒店所具备的全流程便利体验。 此项服务的推出属于爱彼迎更广泛的“服务”计划的一部分，该计划已允许旅客预订私人厨师、按摩、健身课程和美容护理等附加服务。首席执行官布莱恩·切斯基曾表示，从长远来看，“服务”板块与“体验”板块每年可能带来10亿美元或更多的收入，不过他提醒称，这些较新的业务可能需要数年时间才能成为公司重要的业务驱动力。机场接送功能也正式规范化了此前零散的局面，之前部分房东会通过平台外的推荐链接或折扣独立提供Welcome Pickups服务。 在新架构下，旅客可以直接在爱彼迎应用内安排和修改行程，无需支付额外的爱彼迎费用，而Welcome Pickups负责定价和客户支持。费用根据车辆类型、行李需求等因素固定，用户可提前收到司机联系方式以协调安排。爱彼迎表示，早些时候的一项试点项目在欧洲和亚洲已产生数千次预订，这可能预示着随着公司持续拓展周边服务，早期已有一定需求。该公司还在美国部分市场与Instacart合作测试独立的杂货配送服务。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

shapecharge/E+ via Getty Images Markets have been rattled by escalating Middle East tensions. Jeff Evans, VP, Director and Lead for Empirical Research and PM Support with TD Asset Management, breaks down how investors are shifting to defensive and quality stocks in a search for stability. Transcript Greg Bonnell: Markets have been volatile as the Middle East conflict continues, but under the surface, there are some shifts taking place. Joining us now to discuss is Jeff Evans from TD Asset Management. Jeff, great to have you back. Everyone is trying to navigate this market and figure out what's going on. Let's talk about the implications of the conflict. Jeff Evans: First of all, great to be back. Always a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me on. And yeah, it's been not just one year, but multiple years now of volatility in the markets. This, of course, just being the latest incident to come in. We've had this now for the past year with a lot of tariff turmoil and other geopolitical news. Take it back the last five years, we've had inflation, interest rates, COVID. Seems to be just one shock after another hitting the markets. I think when you get into these periods of volatility and uncertainty, the important thing is to take a step back and look at things at a bigger picture level. And for me, that is, what drives markets over the longer term? Ultimately, it's earnings. If earnings go up, it may not happen right away, but eventually, the market tends to recognize that. You do tend to see stock prices follow earnings over the long term. It's a very important anchor. And so really the key here is, let's just take a step back and see what's happening with earnings growth and where earnings growth still is in the market. Of course, over the past 10 to 15 years, it's really been about the US and the US tech stocks. That's been the dominant source of earnings growth. What you started to see last year was interesting. It was the first year in really 15 years where ear...

We haven't heard much about Warner Bros.' forthcoming Supergirl , starring Milly Alcock in the title role, since the first teaser dropped back in December. But with its summer release approaching, the studio just released the first official full trailer, and it's definitely a crowd-pleaser. As previously reported , we met Alcock’s Supergirl briefly at the end of Superman , when she showed up to collect her dog Krypto, still a bit hungover from partying on a red-sun planet. She is more jaded than her cousin, having witnessed the destruction of Krypton and the loss of everything and everyone she loved. “He sees the good in everyone, and I see the truth,” she says in the teaser. Kara, aka Supergirl, is turning 23 and declares it will be the best year yet, which is admittedly “not a very high bar to clear.” While she might not be too keen on the prospect, she’s going to be a superhero nonetheless. Per the logline: “When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.” Read full article Comments

Goldman Sachs Group Inc . has told clients eager to short leveraged loans that a product it’s developing to bet against the $1.4 trillion market isn’t yet ready. The bank had been pitching hedge funds on a total return swap — a type of derivative that would allow clients to profit from a loan’s price decline without ever owning the underlying debt. Investors are increasingly looking to make money from the sell off in software debt sparked by fears of AI disruption. But Goldman Sachs has told clients that it’s not ready to launch the effort as it works through additional considerations, according to people familiar with the matter. The bank may need to pause the initiative to further revise its documentation, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. The product has not been used in any trades, they said. “Our market-making business is driven by our clients’ needs,” a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs said. “We continue to listen and engage with them across assets and strategies.” Investors have been seeking to capitalize on the declining value of software loans. Many such firms were acquired during a private equity buying spree, leaving them saddled with debt just as AI threatens their business models. Meanwhile, the collapse of autoparts supplier First Brands Group last year has emboldened traders to hunt for similar vulnerabilities in heavily-leveraged companies. Because the leveraged loan market is built on private, bespoke contracts rather than traded on public exchanges, it’s notoriously difficult to short. Unlike stocks, these loans can’t be easily borrowed for delivery in the open market. Total return swaps would give investors synthetic short exposure, essentially creating a bet on the debt’s performance.

Traders are hoping for a resolution in the Middle East, but hot oil prices are likely to be sticky – and that bodes well for Chord Energy, according to Morgan Stanley. The Dow Industrials were up more than 1,100 points at its session high on Tuesday as traders grew optimistic that an end may be in sight for the weekslong war between the U.S. and Iran. Just over the course of March, Brent crude oil futures surged more than 60% for their biggest monthly advance since 1988. West Texas Intermediate crude gained more than 51% this month. "Even with near-term resolution, prices are likely to stabilize above pre-conflict levels," wrote a team of Morgan Stanley analysts led by Devin McDermott in a Friday report. They cited the need to restock oil inventories as well as heightened concerns regarding geopolitical risk, supply security and spare capacity, which should prop up prices even as tensions ease. The firm sees West Texas Intermediate crude averaging about $80 a barrel in 2026 and $70 in 2027. Morgan Stanley lifted its forecast for WTI in 2028 and beyond to $70 a barrel, up from $65. Those higher energy prices are bad news for consumers, but they're a tailwind for select oil exploration and production companies, the analysts said. "Overall, our price targets are moving 21% higher for oil E & Ps and a much more modest +8% for gas," they said. The analysts upgraded Chord Energy to overweight from equal weight and lifted their price target to $168 from $114, suggesting nearly 15% upside from Monday's close. CHRD YTD mountain Chord Energy in 2026 "CHRD is a key beneficiary of higher oil prices, screening well versus peers on [free cash flow] and shareholder returns," they said. Assuming a WTI price of $80 a barrel, Chord Energy offers an 18% free cash flow yield, compared to the oil E & P average of 12%, as well as a 12% shareholder return yield, versus the peer average of 6%, the firm found. Chord Energy has had a strong start to the year, up more than 53% in 2026, but th...

格隆汇4月1日｜由于伊朗和美国表示愿意就这场扰乱全球能源运输的冲突寻求解决方案，油价随之下跌，部分消除了长期以来市场中存在的价格风险溢价。据欧洲新闻台援引伊朗总统办公室的声明报道，伊朗总统称伊方愿在诉求满足前提下结束战争。在此之前，据华尔街日报报道，特朗普告诉助手，他愿意在不重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的情况下结束战争。不过，交易员们仍担心，即将达成的解决方案无法消除全球能源体系中已存在的诸多混乱局面。OnyxPoint全球管理公司的首席投资官沙亚·霍赛因扎德表示：“即便这场冲突明天就能解决，要恢复石油供应也需要数周乃至数月的时间。而价格信号并未充分反映实际状况。”

In this article AMZN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Amazon delivery drivers walk the picket line outside Amazon delivery station as they went on strike in Skokie, Illinois on December 19 2024. Kamil Krzaczynski | Afp | Getty Images Amazon has vowed not to retaliate against workers who go on strike as part of a settlement with federal labor officials. The company will restore unpaid time off that it "illegally" docked from employees who walked off the job and "ensure all Amazon workers can strike in the future without losing their UPT," the International Brotherhood of Teamsters said Tuesday in a release. More than 100 employees will have unpaid time off restored, according to the National Labor Relations Board settlement. Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards told CNBC in a statement that it didn't admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement. "While we believe our team managed these situations appropriately, we've agreed to resolve the matter so we can move forward and continue working directly with our employees to make Amazon a great place to work," Hards said in a statement. Amazon gives frontline workers a limited number of hours of unpaid leave, which it said can be used for "last minute issues or emergencies," according to an internal employee handbook cited in the NLRB's complaint. Employees risk being fired if they use more UPT hours than they're allotted. The NLRB cited several cases since 2022 where Amazon deducted employees' UPT after they walked out. In at least one case, striking workers feared they would lose their job after their UPT "went negative" once it was deducted by Amazon, according to the complaint. "Those deductions and points are unlawfully coercive in and of themselves, because they warn employees that their protected activity is inching them ever closer to termination," the NLRB wrote.

Bim/E+ via Getty Images A major petrochemical facility in Saudi Arabia operated by a partnership between Saudi Aramco ( ARMCO ) and Dow ( DOW ) temporarily stopped production, underscoring how escalating tensions in the Middle East are straining industrial activity and supply chains. Sadara Chemical Co. confirmed that operations at the complex have been paused, though it didn't provide a timeline for restarting production, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday. The company said any resumption will depend on both domestic conditions and broader international developments. The shutdown highlights the growing impact of the Iran conflict on energy infrastructure across the region. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy trade that typically carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, remains largely obstructed, complicating exports. Saudi Arabia has already reduced crude output, and alternative logistics are being stretched. A pipeline network connecting eastern production hubs to ports on the Red Sea is reportedly operating at maximum capacity, providing a partial workaround for shipments. The Sadara complex, a roughly $20 billion investment, is designed to produce about 3 million metric tons of plastics and specialty chemicals annually. Saudi Aramco has previously positioned the facility as a cornerstone of its strategy to diversify revenue by converting crude oil into higher-value products. More on Dow, Saudi Aramco Dow Inc.
