SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images After a month of fighting, Iran arguably has secured the most significant strategic victory via its tightening grip over traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg reported Monday. The first full month of the war saw roughly six vessels per day on average traversing the critical waterway in either direction, compared with ~135/day in normal times, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, adding that 80% of the small number of oil tankers exiting the strait have belonged to Iran or countries with which it is on cordial terms. Nearly all vessels making the crossing are now using Iran-approved routes—sailing close to its shores and not to the Omani side of the strait—and often after talks to seek safe passage; Malaysia and Thailand recently reported deals to free tankers trapped in the Persian Gulf. Iran exported ~1.8M bbl/day this month, nearly 8% above its average over 2025, according to figures from the Kpler data intelligence firm Kpler as of March 26, which likely facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars of oil revenue for Iran. In contrast, exports over the same month from Iraq plunged more than 80% compared to 2025 levels, while Saudi Arabia was more than 25% below last year’s average, even with the help of a pipeline carrying its oil to the Red Sea. The impact of Iran’s control is visible in oil markets, with Brent up ~60% this month, and is translating into diplomatic clout, with oil-importing countries such as India , Turkey, Pakistan, and Thailand seeking Iran's approval to get ships through. On Monday, crude oil futures added to gains after the Houthis in Yemen widened the Middle East war by launching their first attacks on Israel. Meanwhile, President Trump threatened to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure if no deal is reached to end the war, even as he also hailed talks between the U.S. and Iran as productive. Trump said Iran would allow 20 more oil ships to pass through the strait, which he cal...

wdstock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images 2026 has been an incredibly tough year for U.S. stocks. Investors have had to contend with a plethora of bearish headwinds, ranging from the escalating war in Iran, skyrocketing oil prices, a shaky macroeconomy, and potential AI disruptions. Against this backdrop, most consumer stocks have voiced concern over growth. Tapestry ( TPR ), the parent company behind Coach and Kate Spade, stands out as a meaningful outlier. The vaunted handbag maker has achieved accelerating sales growth in a critically pinched holiday quarter while managing tariffs well. Since the start of the year, Tapestry has been one of the few stocks to rise, up ~10% since January and extending a huge rally over the past year that has roughly doubled its stock. The question for investors now is: C an Tapestry’s rally continue? Data by YCharts I last wrote a "Sell" article on Tapestry in January, when the stock was trading in the $120s. My bearishness on Tapestry, which was primarily due to a combination of valuation concerns plus underperformance in its smaller Kate Spade line, was premature. Currently, investors are flocking to safety in a tough market, and Tapestry is a high watermark for quality and stability in a battered apparel and retail industry. Though risks certainly remain, I’m upping my rating on the stock to "N eutral." At current share prices, I see a more balanced bull and bear thesis on both sides of the coin for Tapestry. On the bright side for the company: Huge global market. Tapestry’s portfolio of brands and diverse lineup of premium products has given the company a broad global addressable market: the company believes its annual market opportunity is $105 billion, consisting of $73 billion in bag sales and $32 billion in footwear. This means the company’s current ~$7 billion annualized revenue scale is less than 10% penetrated into this global market. Incredibly rich gross margins. Tapestry has gross margins in the mid-70s, and that’s inc...

Vance Tops CPAC Straw Poll For 2028 GOP Presidential Nominee Authored by Tom Gantert via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Vice President JD Vance is the leading candidate to take the Republican nomination for president in 2028, according to a straw poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on March 28. Vice President JD Vance waves as he departs Air Force Two at Rocky Mount-Wilson Regional Airport in Elm City, N.C., on March 13, 2026. Kent Nishimura/Getty Images Vance received 53 percent of the support of the people who attended the annual conference in Grapevine, Texas. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in second place at 35 percent. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump Jr. came in at 2 percent each. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott all had 1 percent support. The poll was announced at the end of the four-day CPAC conference. In 2025, Vance won the CPAC straw poll for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, receiving 61 percent support, and Steve Bannon took second place at 12 percent. Vance also holds a big lead in the RealClearPolitics average of New Hampshire’s 2028 Republican presidential primary polls conducted in February 2026 and March 2026. Vance leads those polls at 47.3 percent, and Rubio is second at 17.3 percent. They are followed by former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley at 6.7 percent and DeSantis at 5.3 percent. A presidential matchup between President Donald Trump and Haley had overwhelmingly favored Trump in CPAC’s February 2024 straw poll. According to the poll, 94 percent of respondents said they would support Trump if a Republican primary were held that day, compared with 5 percent for Haley. Only 1 percent said they were undecided. Trump is not eligible to run for president in 2028. The president did not attend the 2026 CPAC conference. The recent CPAC straw poll supports ea...
