Soaring crime and corruption top voter concerns in highly unpredictable election with 35 candidates for president Peruvians go to the polls on Sunday hoping to break a cycle of instability that has produced nine presidents in a decade as well as surging violent crime , corruption scandals and overwhelming distrust in institutions and politicians. About 27 million people who are eligible to vote must choose between a record 35 presidential candidates as well as contenders for the bicameral congress – all from a ballot sheet measuring nearly half a metre, the longest in the country’s history.

Eoneren/E+ via Getty Images Why Meta popped Wednesday: Meta Platforms ( META ) closed up over 6.5% on Wednesday, adding $111 billion to its market cap, on several catalysts that hit the stock (positively), specifically, and the broader market at large. The stock was up another 2.6% on Thursday, and is in the green in pre-market trading on Friday. Seeking Alpha On Wednesday, the mag 7 had a good day, with the exception of Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Tesla ( TSLA ), which remained relatively flat, up 0.5% and down 0.9% respectively. During the same day, Amazon ( AMZN ) was up over 3.5%, Nvidia ( NVDA ) up 2.2%, Apple ( AAPL ) up another 2.1%, and Google ( GOOG ), up another 3.5%. So, good day across the board, with the S&P500 up another 2.5% alone. So, aside from a more favourable geopolitical situation, backed by a shaky ceasefire, that raised investor confidence, Meta had its fair share of specific catalysts working in its favour. The first and most company-specific was the launch of Muse Spark flagship model from the new Meta Superintelligence Labs, which drove a pop we haven’t seen in a while for Meta. The second is structural. Meta has been quietly repositioning itself as an AI infrastructure company as much as a social media one. The Llama model family, the AI assistant rollout across WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, and now Muse Spark as a frontier AI model, all represent Meta's answer to the question of what the ad-supported internet looks like when AI is native to every surface. For a company that generates its revenue (at least most of it) from advertising, AI-enhanced engagement and AI-native ad targeting are the margin expansion story for the next three years. One more thing: Meta had been carrying meaningful conflict discount given its exposure to global digital advertising, which is a market that correlates closely with consumer and business confidence. The ceasefire, however fragile, removed enough uncertainty to allow the stock to re-rate toward fundament...

中东冲突袭来,叠加AI革命,全球资本市场正面临前所未有的复杂性。增长稀缺、资本稀缺与确定性稀缺三重挑战相互交织。日前,美国资产管理巨头联博集团全球权益负责人Nelson Yu在上海接受专访,阐述其对当前市场环境的研判,分享市场剧烈波动中普通投资者的应对之道。 Nelson Yu为联博集团(Alliance Bernstein)全球权益投资负责人,集团运营委员会成员。他于1997年加入联博,从信息技术开发人员起步,后转型为新兴市场研究分析师,2001年起深耕全球股票投资领域,2004年起领导股票部门。二十余年间,Nelson亲历多次金融危机与市场周期,兼具新兴市场、货币组合与风险管理的丰富经验。 联博集团是全球知名资产管理机构,总部位于美国,其最新管理规模约为6万亿元人民币。 三重稀缺性影响全球市场 中国基金报:你提出“2026年多重稀缺性交织”,能否梳理背后的逻辑? Nelson Yu: 我分三步来讲——增长稀缺、资本稀缺和确定性稀缺。 说到增长稀缺,虽然表面看全球经济增长有支撑,但这一增长完全由少数人群主导——主要由消费能力最强的前10%人群驱动,股市上涨也集中在少数AI公司。这种结构非常脆弱。一旦崩裂,增长就会变得稀缺。 此外,全球政府债务攀升,政府继续支撑经济的空间越来越小。能源约束、人口结构等问题,都限制了可用来支撑经济的资本规模。 最后是确定性稀缺。地缘政治局势的演变,世界充满变数。我们正在目睹世界秩序的重塑,原有的格局正在改变,新的阵营正在形成。 中国基金报:市场理解这种稀缺性吗? Nelson Yu: 答案是否定的。以确定性稀缺为例,现在,投资者热衷预测冲突何时结束。每当有消息暗示停火谈判进展,市场就会出现反弹;而当传出冲突将持续更长时间的消息,市场就会下跌。 期货市场的数据显示,大多数市场参与者预计能源价格将在年底前下降——市场认为冲突应该很快会结束。但问题在于,下行风险大,市场在为风险定价方面一向表现欠佳。这就是近期市场波动如此之大的原因。 如果冲突持续时间超预期,能源价格居高不下,这将推高通胀、拖累GDP增长,进一步加剧三重稀缺性,由此形成恶性循环。 中国基金报:如果你是对的,普通投资者应该如何布局? Nelson Yu: 我无法判断哪种预测会成真。试图押注单一情景并非明智之举,真正重要的是坚守核心投资。我比以往任何时候都更强调分散化。 你要做好...

Futures Flat Ahead Of CPI, Ceasefire Negotiations US equity futures are flat, recovering from an earlier drop, and set to extend a seven-day rally, the longest since October, as investors looked to talks between the US and Iran for signs a fragile truce can hold while bracing for a big jump in today's CPI report ( full preview here ). As of 8:00am ET, S&P futures were up 0.1%,on track for their biggest weekly advance in almost a year. Nasdaq futures rose 0.2%, its winning streak is the longest since September, led once again memory stocks while Mag 7 were mixed (NVDA -0.5% and MSFT +0.5%). Europe’s Stoxx 600 gained 0.8% as Ukraine’s top negotiator with Russia expressed optimism about peace talks. Overnight, headlines were mostly quiet as investors continue assessing the negotiation progress between the US and Iran. Hormuz and Lebanon remains the two key focuses. Meanwhile, a BBG headline this morning saying that Ukraine may be near a deal with Putin drove futs modestly higher; gold trades flat around $4,765. Bond yields are unchanged to 1-2bp lower, the 10Y TSY trading at 4.29%; oil is 1% higher to $98.6; base metals are mostly lower.

上市不到一年,杭州网红餐饮公司或被股东清仓。 4月9日,绿茶集团有限公司(下称“绿茶集团”,06831.HK)发布公告,公司主要股东Partners Group Gourmet House Limited(下称“Partners Gourmet”)及该公司最终控制方Partners Group Holding AG(下称“合众集团”)于4月8日宣布三项股份出售安排,合计涉及10614.08万股绿茶集团股份,占公司已发行股份总数(不含库存股)约15.96%。 此次Partners Gourmet 出售股份将分三步走:其中,6004.40万股股份通过大宗交易方式进行配售;2304.84万股股份将向投资基金出售;另有若干股份拟出售予策略性企业,出售所得款总额不超过3000万美元。 合众集团是一家总部位于瑞士的全球私募投资公司,资产管理规模约1500亿美元。上述配售和出售完成后,Partners Gourmet将不再持有绿茶集团任何股份。 公告显示,配售事项预计于2026年4月13日完成,而出售事项尚需取得相关监管批准等先决条件达成后方可实施。 作为最早一批的网红餐饮品牌,绿茶集团于2025年5月在港交所上市,发行价为每股7.19港元。彼时,创始人王勤松和路长梅夫妇把旅社开成网红餐厅的故事,不仅吸引了众多公众投资者,还引入了正大食品、紫燕食品、沈国军在内的豪华基石投资阵容。 此次大股东“清仓”,距离绿茶集团的上市还不到一年时间。 01 公开资料显示,Partners Gourmet在绿茶集团投资者序列中都占据重要地位。十余年前,绿茶集团为筹备上市重组,Partners Gourmet的战略投资就是其重组的第一步。 招股书显示,2015年,绿茶集团通过合众集团私募股权投资团队的专业网络介绍而结识合众集团。合众集团在与绿茶集团管理层历经两年多轮沟通后,决定涉足绿茶集团的投资。 2017年,Partners Gourmet出资约7063万美元,通过受让及认购的方式拿下了彼时绿茶集团30%的股份。此后,随着重组进程以及员工持股平台的设立,Partners Gourmet对绿茶集团的持股比例降至28.2%。 截至IPO前,Partners Gourmet一直是绿茶集团的主要机构投资者。 绿茶集团IPO后,Partners Gourmet也位列绿茶集团第二大股东。根据Wind金融终端,...
