If a US-Iran deal is about to be reached, three months on from the launch of Donald Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, it will not be a day too soon for oil markets, which are approaching a dangerous tipping point. The cost of a barrel of crude on the spot market – for immediate purchase, effectively – has bounced about $100 since Iran predictably responded to the onslaught from the US and Israel by closing the strait of Hormuz. That price remains well below historic highs, and because it has not surged into the stratosphere, it can look as though markets have settled into an uneasy stasis. Yet beneath the surface, every week that goes by has drawn the energy markets closer to what economists call a “non-linear adjustment”, wonk-speak for chaos. Thus far, several factors have helped to ease potential supply constraints, including a record coordinated release of strategic oil reserves; rerouting of some Gulf production to pipelines, bypassing the strait of Hormuz; and a rapid fall in imports to China, which some analysts believe may reflect Beijing drawing down stockpiles. But the International Energy Agency (IEA), whose executive director, Fatih Birol, has been sounding the alarm from the start, said last week that oil stocks are being depleted at a record rate. And several analysts have issued warnings in recent weeks that the point may be fast approaching when they drop to crisis levels. That could push prices so high as to cause “demand destruction” – the falling back of consumption to meet constrained supply – on a scale much more economically damaging than anything we have yet seen. Hamad Hussain, who covers climate and commodities for the consultancy Capital Economics, warned recently: “If the strait remains effectively closed and commercial oil inventories in the OECD continue to be run down at the same pace as they were in April, oil stocks could reach critically low levels by the end of June.” He suggested that that could push Brent crude prices to $130-$140 a ba...

配置窗口已打开 最近两月，A股市场风格可谓是严重分化，若不站在光里、不布局芯里，这牛市似乎跟股灾没啥区别，市场指数连创新高，老登股却动也不动，可一旦行情回落，又跟着一起跌，比较典型的代表就是证券保险这类非银金融板块。 这种割裂的行情，或让不少躺在传统板块的投资者感到非常煎熬。但对于证券、保险这类非 银金 融板块而言，当前的低迷并不是基本面的恶化，反而在调整中或酝酿着新的机会。 当前，板块连续的调整充分释放了风险，且保险与券商两大板块均处于低估值环境，对于投资者而言 ， 可不必纠结短期波动，非银金融的估值修复与业绩增长，或具备左侧配置价值。 01、 券商触底，配置窗口已打开 从资本市场看，证券板块自去年8月底，已经历A、B、C完整的三浪调整，调整时间大半年。直至2026年3月底，板块初步止跌企稳，目前，已维持连续两个月的筑底走势。 这一筑底阶段，技术层面分析，是机构资金的典型吸筹过程，也意味着板块当前已具备左侧布局的良好时机 。 待筑底完成后，板块是否具备开启新一轮右侧行情的条件？ 2025年三季度以来，受中证金减持、再融资担忧、外部冲突等因素压制，券商持续调整，估值与持仓双双跌至历史底部。 目前头部券商PE回落至10倍左右，处于近十年大底位置，机构持仓处于近5年5%分位数，低配程度显著，抛压已近尾声。 2025年上市券商营收与净利润同比出现了大幅增长，2026年一季度继续增长，头部券商年化ROE创下近年新高，超过2021年高点水平。 市场活跃度持续提升，大A目前日均成交额、新开户数、两融规模持续走高，公募基金也是发行火爆，经纪业务、财富管理、投行业务、利息净等收入全部增长，为券商的业绩提供支撑。 居民财富向金融资产转移，带动了代销与资管业务的增长，头部券商海外业务收入与资产规模快速扩张，境外子公司ROE显著高于母公司，科创板、港股IPO景气度高企，直投跟投利润逐步释放，券商盈利稳定性得到了较大幅度的提升，ROE有望创十年来的新高。 02、 保险：负债高质量增长，资产端全面回暖，估值处于历史低位 2026年一季度，保险板块受股市波动影响，净利润短期承压，但负债端高质量增长成为最大亮点。 存款搬迁趋势延续，叠加分红险吸引力提升、银保与个险渠道双向发力，上市险企新业务价值（NBV）实现稳健增长，期缴保费占比持续提升，业务结构持续优化。财险领域非车险快速崛起，成为保费新引擎...

一、本周市场行情进一步集中，AI上游一枝独秀 本周A股在重大内外宏观事件交织下呈现极端分化格局。外部方面，5月20日上午，国家主席同俄罗斯总统普京举行会谈。两国元首一致同意《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》继续延期。国内政策层方面，本周国家发改委印发《"法治护航民营经济"行动方案》，国家发改委召开民营企业座谈会，围绕当前经济形势及宏观政策落实情况听取意见建议，智谱等5家企业负责人参会。在此背景下，A股整体窄幅震荡，但行业层面极端分化：电子以+6.56%的周涨幅一枝独秀，而农林牧渔、钢铁、轻工等传统行业全面回调，市场呈现"科技强、周期弱"的明确结构特征。 二、当前时点如何把握“鱼尾行情”？ 当前市场或接近2025年“9.3阅兵行情”后至10月中旬的行情阶段。参照该阶段特征，上证指数在6月中旬前仍有望冲击前高甚至创出新高，但其间轮动加速、赚钱效应明显减弱，属于典型的"鱼尾行情"。 宏观方面，美伊冲突仍在持续，地缘风险结构性重构。当前伊朗实际控制霍尔木兹海峡或正成为"既成事实"。随着特朗普民调压力进一步上升，且政治资源进一步消耗，其最优策略是尽快妥协、避免选情进一步恶化。一旦妥协落地，伊朗主导中东秩序将导致高油价常态化，进一步冲击美元信用根基。在这一逻辑下，黄金与有色等资产的中期价值正在重估，港股也因美元弱化预期而获得新的上行驱动。 国内政策方面，4月底政治局会议确认"主要指标全面超预期"，这一表述具有明确的政策信号意义。参考历史相关表述后的经验，当高层认为经济指标超预期后，往往伴随一个季度的政策回收期：短端资金利率（如D2007）已出现上行迹象，且金融监管进一步收紧。中美元首会晤等阶段性外部约束消除后，央行"适度宽松"的操作空间收窄，流动性将逐步向中性回归。 6月是IPO密集落地的关键窗口，相关板块的资金关注度和风险偏好有望在IPO前后持续维持高位。时间窗口上，6月中旬是关键节点：一方面，国内两大存储芯片巨头迎来上市关键时期。5月17日，长鑫科技更新IPO招股书（申报稿），审核状态恢复为“已问询”。与此同时，长江存储也在稳步推进IPO筹备与大规模产能扩建工作。5月19日，证监会官网披露，长江存储已正式完成IPO辅导备案。 商业航天方面，5月20日，SpaceX正式向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提交S-1版注册声明（招股书），路透社报道SpaceX计划于6月12日上市，有望创下史上...

On Wall Street, there's a famous adage, "Sell in May and go away." The summer months are typically the slowest months for returns, and that makes May a perfect time to pare down a portfolio. That same type of thinking applies equally well to the crypto market. With that in mind, it's time to lock in profits on three cryptos up big for the year: Hyperliquid (HYPE +13.74%), Tron (TRX +1.00%), and MemeCore (M +4.48%). Hyperliquid and Tron The major catalyst for the summer for the crypto market will be progress on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and I don't see that legislation improving the fortunes of either Hyperliquid or Tron, both of which are cryptos with significant operations abroad. If anything, the Clarity Act will make it easier for U.S. cryptos to compete in key areas. Take stablecoins, for example. Tron is one of the most important Layer 1 blockchains for Tether (USDT 0.01%), the biggest stablecoin in the world. But Tether, just like Tron, is based offshore. An offshore stablecoin running on top of an offshore Layer 1 blockchain just doesn't seem like a winning idea to me, given the overall plan to make America the "crypto capital of the world." For that reason, sell your Tron and save yourself a big headache. Given that it's up 25% for the year, it's time to lock in profits. Expand CRYPTO : HYPE Hyperliquid Today's Change ( 13.74 %) $ 7.63 Current Price $ 63.12 Key Data Points Market Cap $15B Day's Range $ 54.64 - $ 64.21 52wk Range $ 20.52 - $ 64.21 Volume 1.1B As for Hyperliquid, up 80% for the year, it's only a matter of time before its first-mover advantage in perpetual futures trading is finally erased. Major U.S. fintech and crypto-native businesses are champing at the bit to get involved here, and the Clarity Act might make it easier for them to finally offer these high-risk products to a wider group of customers. MemeCore MemeCore is a Layer 1 blockchain for meme coins. Enough said -- lock in the 100% gain for the year and enjoy the summer. I...

Hong Kong’s finance chief has called for deeper cooperation and dialogue with Europe despite disagreements on some issues, saying such engagement is crucial amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. Writing in his weekly blog on Sunday after a five-day trip to France, Belgium and Switzerland, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said European political and business leaders were increasingly seeking strategic autonomy, diversified partnerships and stronger economic resilience in response to geopolitical tensions and rising unilateralism. “We see pragmatic opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation between Hong Kong and Europe in areas including trade, investment and innovation and technology,” Chan wrote. Advertisement He said exchanges with European financial institutions suggested strong interest in Hong Kong’s financial market, including its investment opportunities, cross-border regulatory cooperation and financial innovation initiatives. “Representatives from the [European] financial sector pointed out that their current asset allocations were overly weighted towards US dollar assets, creating a problem of excessive risk concentration,” Chan added. Advertisement While Europeans “possessed wealth amounting to tens of trillions of euros and ranked among the world’s highest in savings rates,” much of the money remained parked in “conservative” bank deposits and fixed-income markets with modest returns instead of being channelled into innovation and growth industries, he said. The finance chief said Hong Kong could help address such concerns by offering diversified investment opportunities, a mature capital market and access to mainland China’s technology and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) has seen earnings explode higher quarter after quarter as tech giants rush to get in on its latest artificial intelligence (AI) systems. And that has led to outstanding stock performance -- the shares have climbed more than 600% over the past three years as this AI revolution heats up. But in recent months, investors have expressed concern about one thing in particular. They've worried about whether the high levels of demand will last. Major cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and other tech leaders have pledged to spend nearly $700 billion this year on infrastructure build-out, and this, of course, is benefiting chip designers such as Nvidia. The concern, though, is that any slowdown in the pace of such spending could do just the opposite -- and weigh on growth. Considering all of this, investors have been particularly tuned in to any messages from tech giants that may offer insight into what's to come. Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, in this week's earnings call, just delivered big news to shareholders -- and it may influence your decision on whether to buy Nvidia stock right now. Nvidia in the AI environment First, though, let's take a quick look at the AI story so far and how Nvidia has evolved in this environment. In the earliest stages of the AI boom, customers focused on training large language models -- and to pour incredible amounts of information into these models at high speeds, they needed compute. The ideal compute came in the form of Nvidia's graphics processing unit (GPU). While other AI chips may also fuel training, Nvidia's GPUs have done it faster and more efficiently than any other. Customers rushed to get in on these powerful tools and complete AI systems, and this has supercharged Nvidia's revenue growth. As mentioned above, after such high levels of growth and demand, investors have questioned whether Nvidia's best days may be behind the company.

中疾控同时提醒，疫情波及的国家和地区名单可能会动态变化，需持续关注WHO的最新通报 【财新网】 5月下旬中非爆发埃博拉疫情，中国明确旅行风险与防疫要求。2026年5月中旬，刚果民主共和国（下称“刚果（金）”）与乌干达暴发严重的埃博拉疫情，世界卫生组织（WHO）已将此次疫情定性为国际公共卫生紧急事件（PHEIC），这是过去15年以来非洲地区第三次出现PHEIC级别的埃博拉疫情。（参见财新网《 非洲两国埃博拉疫情扩散 世卫组织发布全球公卫警报响应机制 》） 截至5月23日，根据刚果（金）与乌干达卫生部的最新报告，刚果（金）南基伍省确诊了1例新病例；此前，确诊病例仅局限于伊图里省和北基伍省。刚果（金）的累计疑似病例746例，确诊病例83例；疑似死亡176例，确诊死亡9例。乌干达的累计确诊病例5例，确诊死亡1例。5月23日，乌干达宣布新增3例病例，这些病例均与此前公布的自刚果（金）入境旅行的确诊病例有明确的接触史。

XRP (XRP +3.74%) is dangerously close to dipping below the $1 price level. It now trades for just $1.40, a steep 64% discount from its all-time high of $3.84. But that may be a good thing. It means crypto investors can load up on XRP at fantastically low prices. If analysts are right, and XRP skyrockets in value, then buying this cryptocurrency today could help to set you up for life. XRP price targets It's relatively easy to find super-bullish price targets for XRP, ranging from $100 to $10,000. For the most part, though, these are simply pie-in-the-sky estimates and can be safely ignored. A more practical price target for XRP comes from Standard Chartered. Back in 2025, it suggested that XRP would be worth $8 by the end of 2026, $10.40 by the end of 2027, and $12.50 by the end of 2028. Standard Chartered has since scaled back some of its expectations, but still thinks that XRP has an outside chance of becoming a $28 coin by the end of 2030. Given its current price of $1.40, that means XRP could theoretically generate 20x returns by the end of the decade. That's impressive, to be sure. But is it enough to set you up for life? You would still need to invest $50,000 today to become a crypto millionaire by 2030. Stress-testing XRP price targets The market cap of any cryptocurrency is derived by multiplying the total circulating coin supply by the current spot price. Right now, XRP has a total circulating coin supply of 61.8 billion coins, and a spot price of $1.40, so its market cap is approximately $85 billion.

Key Points XRP could grow a lot during the coming years. It will be competing in real-world asset tokenization, money transfers, payment processing, and more. Getting financial institutions onboard is the most important priority for it to succeed. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › Every investor has had the dream of buying a small stake in a compelling asset with perfect timing and vision, and then suddenly seeing a huge return that makes retirement look closer than your next vacation. With XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), that story is as tempting to believe in as ever. But there's a big difference between a windfall and a durable plan. Can XRP be the investment that funds your future? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » What a realistic upside case looks like Let's start by setting our expectations appropriately. Today, XRP's market cap is about $181 billion. For it to set someone up for life, they would need to invest a substantial sum of capital and the coin would need to make huge returns, preferably over a few years rather than an eternity. For XRP to gain 10-fold from here, it would require consistently strong execution across its technology, relations with regulators, distribution avenues, and target users in financial institutions. All of those things are very conceivable for the chain to accomplish and maintain over a long horizon, but it's certainly not something to anchor a retirement plan on. Even a strong multibagger often needs meaningful starting capital to be life-changing, and XRP is likely too mature of an asset to deliver outsized returns in the near term, at least for those who can invest a relatively normal amount of money (less than $10,000) upfront. But what would have to go right for it to deliver big returns? First, XRP must remain attractive to institutions that care about regulatory compliance, settlement finality, and...

There are a handful of giants in the retail world, with Walmart and Amazon as the household names leading the way. Walmart stores are accessible to the vast majority of the American population, and Amazon is the undisputed e-commerce king, but neither runs the warehouse memberships like Costco (COST 2.14%). Costco's stock hasn't gotten as much attention as tech or artificial intelligence (AI) stocks over the past few years. Still, it has outperformed all major indexes and every "Magnificent Seven" stock not named Nvidia or Alphabet over the past five years. But while past success is nice, future success matters. Where will Costco and its stock be in five years? Embracing different property styles to remove expansion barriers Costco's memberships are growing -- which is a good thing, no doubt -- but one downside is overcrowded stores in high-volume areas. To help with the issue (and overall growth), Costco is pursuing an aggressive expansion plan, aiming to open at least 30 new stores annually. For your average city, it's a straightforward process once you find space for it (Costco aims for at least 25 acres). In high-density cities like New York City and Los Angeles, space isn't readily available to build large Costco stores, so the company is embracing mixed-use properties that deviate from its traditional designs but allow it to capitalize on high-income areas. Costco is currently building its first mixed-use property in Los Angeles, with apartment buildings atop the warehouse, and the company says such properties should increase foot traffic. If these mixed-use stores in high-density areas prove effective, the burden of space will become less meaningful for Costco's physical footprint. It currently has 28 stores in its pipeline for this year.

South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is tapping private-sector digital forensics expertise as it seeks to boost an investigation into an overhaul of the country’s tax agency under former President Jacob Zuma, the Johannesburg-based Sunday Times said. The authority has brought in Facts Consulting to assist with the probe into the role played by Bain & Co in the restructuring of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) that resulted in the ousting of senior staff and gutting of its investigative capacity, the weekly said, citing NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago. Bain is one of several international companies caught up in state-corruption scandals, commonly known locally as state capture, during Zuma’s tenure, which ended in 2018. Bain didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Bloomberg outside regular office hours on Sunday. The firm has since paid SARS 217 million rand ($13.2 million) to refund consultancy fees and interest, the paper reported. The National Treasury also banned the firm from doing business with the state for 10 years. Bain closed its South African consultancy business last year and has sued the Treasury and tax service in a bid to reverse the ban, saying the legal provisions used to ban it were unconstitutional. The roles of former president Jacob Zuma and Bain South Africa boss Vittorio Massone are set to come under scrutiny as the NPA’s leadership seeks criminal charges against the main actors responsible for the near collapse of SARS, the Sunday Times said.

Last quarter was a busy one for Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA +1.43%) (BRKB +1.32%)... busier than most. New CEO Greg Abel made a bunch of changes that predecessor Warren Buffett didn't seem so interested in making. Here's a rundown of the biggest three made in the first quarter. 1. Dumped all of Visa (and Mastercard) Buffett was never wholeheartedly committed to it in the sense that Berkshire never held a major stake in the company. But, after first establishing a position in 2011, Abel opted to sell the entirety of the conglomerate's 8.3-million-share stake in credit card middleman Visa (V 0.68%) last quarter. Berkshire also dumped all of its holdings in Mastercard (MA 0.28%) during the first quarter of the year. Neither was a particularly big position for the company. Indeed, Mastercard and Visa each only accounted for about 1% of Berkshire's entire portfolio of stocks. Still, it's a message about how Abel feels about certain aspects of the credit card business right now. Although the company dumped Visa and Mastercard, Berkshire's position in American Express (AXP +0.73%) remained untouched in Q1. It's now the conglomerate's second-biggest holding, worth a whopping $47 billion. 2. Bought a somewhat meaningful stake in Delta Buffett overwhelmingly gave up on airlines in early 2020, selling all of $4 billion worth of positions in several of the major names in the business after the COVID-19 pandemic posed a threat that could have lasted a while. That threat eventually abated, of course, but Berkshire never stepped back in -- a seemingly smart decision given airlines' uncertain performances in the meantime (and for the foreseeable future). Abel seems willing to take risks that Buffett wasn't, however. Last quarter, Berkshire scooped up 39.8 million then-beaten-down shares of Delta Air Lines (DAL +0.65%), now worth $2.8 billion.

Key Points The company exited several smaller, distracting positions. Berkshire’s new management team appears a little more willing to take risks on seemingly undervalued tickers. While Buffett was never a big fan of tech stocks, Abel and his lieutenants are clearly far more comfortable with (some of) them. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › Last quarter was a busy one for Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB)... busier than most.

Russia uses hypersonic Oreshnik missile in mass attack on Kyiv toggle caption Evgeniy Maloletka/AP KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday Russia used the powerful hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile during a mass drone and missile attack on Kyiv on Sunday that killed at least two people, marking the third time the weapon has been used in the four-year war. The intense aerial assault damaged buildings across the Ukrainian capital, including near government offices, residential buildings and schools. The Oreshnik, which is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads, struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram. The target was not immediately clear.

It did not specify where the targets were. The ministry added the attack was retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on "civilian facilities on Russian territory", without immediately giving detail. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday denounced a drone strike on a college dormitory in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine, which Moscow blames on Kyiv, and ordered the Russian military to submit its proposals for retaliation. He said there were no military or law enforcement facilities near the college. The death toll from the strike in Starobilsk had risen to 21 as search-and-rescue operations closed, the press service of Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations said late on Saturday. It said 42 other people had been injured in the attack the previous night. The Kremlin-installed authorities of the Luhansk region announced two days of mourning on Sunday and Monday to honor the victims. At a U.N. Security Council emergency meeting on the strike, held at the request of Russia, Ukrainian Ambassador Andrii Melnyk denied his Ru...
