In this article @CL.1 @LCO.1 .KS11 Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT LightPoem | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets traded higher Friday, after news that Iran and Oman were drafting a protocol to "monitor transit" through the Strait of Hormuz raised hopes that the crucial waterway could partially reopen. Tanker traffic through the key oil-shipping route "should be supervised and coordinated" with the two countries, said Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's deputy foreign minister of legal and international affairs, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA. Oil prices continued to spike, however, with U.S. crude futures jumping almost 12% to trade at 112.06 per barrel, while global benchmark Brent was up around 8% at $109.24. The spot price for current physical cargoes of Brent crude oil soared Thursday to $141.36, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to S&P Global. South Korea's Kospi led gains in the region, rising 3.25%, while the small-cap Kosdaq rose 2.15%. Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 1.67%, and the broad-based Topix was 1.38% higher. The Australian and Hong Kong markets were closed for the Easter weekend. U.S. futures were little changed, with S&P 500 futures flat, and the Nasdaq-100 futures down 0.07%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 9 points, or 0.02%. Overnight in the U.S., markets saw a volatile session amid rising oil prices, but the major indexes ended little changed, with the blue-chip Dow declining 61.07 points, or 0.13%. The S&P 500 advanced 0.11%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.18%. — CNBC's Kevin Breuninger, Lisa Kailai Han and Sean Conlon contributed to this report.

The Iran war and the constriction of the Strait of Hormuz have shaken the global economy with fears of possible long-term energy shocks. And with no end to the conflict in sight, oil and gas prices have been extremely volatile.

The Iran war and the constriction of the Strait of Hormuz have shaken the global economy with fears of possible long-term energy shocks. And with no end to the conflict in sight, oil and gas prices have been extremely volatile. While the macro effects of the conflict are both large and unpredictable, many on Wall Street have become bullish on Venture Global (NYSE: VG) , a major U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter, as the war continues. The stock has more than doubled so far in 2026 -- up 51% since the start of the war -- and even if the conflict ends, it may have more room to run if supplies are still short. Currently, the company is the second-largest LNG exporter in the U.S. and has its eyes on the No. 1 position. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
The baton of open source AI models has been passed on between several companies over the years since ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, from Meta with its Llama family to Chinese labs like Qwen and z.ai.

The baton of open source AI models has been passed on between several companies over the years since ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, from Meta with its Llama family to Chinese labs like Qwen and z.ai. But lately, Chinese companies have started pivoting back towards proprietary models even as some U.S. labs like Cursor and Nvidia release their own variants of the Chinese models, leaving a question mark about who will originate this branch of technology going forward. One answer: Arcee , a San Francisco based lab, which this week released AI Trinity-Large-Thinking —a 399-billion parameter text-only reasoning model released under the uncompromisingly open Apache 2.0 license, allowing for full customizability and commercial usage by anyone from indie developers to large enterprises. The release represents more than just a new set of weights on AI code sharing community Hugging Face ; it is a strategic bet that "American Open Weights" can provide a sovereign alternative to the increasingly closed or restricted frontier models of 2025. This move arrives precisely as enterprises express growing discomfort with relying on Chinese-based architectures for critical infrastructure, creating a demand for a domestic champion that Arcee intends to fill. As Clément Delangue, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face, told VentureBeat in a direct message on X: "The strength of the US has always been its startups so maybe they're the ones we should count on to lead in open-source AI. Arcee shows that it's possible!" Genesis of a 30-person frontier lab To understand the weight of the Trinity release, one must understand the lab that built it. Based in San Francisco, Arcee AI is a lean team of only 30 people. While competitors like OpenAI and Google operate with thousands of engineers and multibillion-dollar compute budgets, Arcee has defined itself through what CTO Lucas Atkins calls "engineering through constraint". The company first made waves in 2024 after securing a $24 million Series A le...

摩根大通 建议投资者对两年期美国国债多头头寸获利了结,并警告称,若就业数据强于预期,可能会限制市场对美联储政策宽松的定价空间。包括杰伊・巴里(Jay Barry )在内的策略师在报告中写道,如果该行对3月非农就业人数新增7.5万人的预测准确,市场可能会下调对美联储短期内降息的预期。注:市场普遍预期为新增6.5万人。货币市场的定价已基本与摩根大通的观点一致,即美联储在2026年全年将维持利率不变。不过该行认为仍存在风险:若油价升至125美元或更高,可能引发“央行政策反应函数中的内在不对称性”;如果石油冲击加剧,美联储或转向鸽派立场。 责任编辑:王永生
