U.S. Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks during a news briefing after a weekly Senate Democratic Luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on March 24, 2026 in Washington, DC. Alex Wong | Getty Images Republicans on Wednesday balked at a Democratic counteroffer to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, as lawmakers and the White House scramble to strike a deal before a scheduled two-week recess begins on Friday ahead of a busy U.S. travel week for spring breaks and the Easter holiday. Senate Majority Leader John Thune , R-S.D., told reporters on Wednesday there was "no point" in Republicans issuing another response to Democrats' counter and said the Senate would vote later that day on the GOP proposal unveiled earlier this week. "It's not even close to being real," Thune said of the counteroffer. "They know better. They're asking for things that have already been turned down. So it just seems like they're going in circles, spinning, spinning." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced the DHS counteroffer on the Senate floor on Wednesday. "Our offer is a reasonable, good faith proposal that contains some of the very same asks Democrats have been talking about now for months," Schumer said. Schumer did not list out the specific points of his proposal, but Democrats have for months sought changes to the immigration enforcement practices of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Those changes include a requirement for judicial warrants for federal agents to enter private property and banning the use of masks.

SpiffyJ/iStock via Getty Images The dollar's resilience since the war began is not a mystery, but it is being misread. The Dollar Index ( DXY ) has appreciated roughly 1.8% this month alone, following a modest 0.65% gain in February after January's 1.35% slide. Against every G10 currency, the greenback has advanced since hostilities commenced. All but the Canadian dollar and sterling have surrendered more than 1.5%. The move looks like strength. It is, in part. But it is also a story about positioning, leverage, and the jump in US rates. Unpacking Safe Haven Two channels are driving the dollar's gains. The first is mechanical: short covering. For months, traders had used the dollar as a funding currency; borrowing cheap in greenbacks to reach for yield in Latin American bonds, for example, and other higher-beta assets. When those risk positions went south, and they invariably do, they were sold, and the funding currency was bought back, which gives the appearance of safe-haven demand. Another layer of the same dynamic came from foreign equity investors who had been financing the US current account deficit, and many of them with dollar hedges layered on top. As US stocks tumbled, the shares were liquidated and the short-dollar hedges were lifted, or, for some, the drop in equity values left them simply over-hedged, and they trimmed accordingly. Either way, the bid for dollars was structural, not discretionary. The second channel is more recognizable as genuine safe-haven demand. War compresses risk appetite, and with the United States now the world's largest energy producer, some investors judge the American economy as comparatively insulated from the oil shock radiating out of the Gulf. That is a reasonable, if incomplete, argument. It is also the kind of narrative that tends to have a shorter shelf life than the positioning adjustment does. US Rates more than Differentials in the First Instance What is less appreciated is how sharply the rates landscape has shifted...

Mr Vito/E+ via Getty Images Chewy, Inc. ( CHWY ) reported earnings for its fourth fiscal quarter before the market opened on Friday, which led to a 15% upswing in the firm's share price. This was mainly because of a strong revenue outlook for the current fiscal year that beat expectations. The pet store retailer also saw a significant expansion of its EBITDA and free cash flow margins in the fourth fiscal quarter, highlighting an improving profitability profile. Chewy benefited fundamentally from higher platform spending, which is driving both top-line expansion as well as higher margins. This growth in sales as well as higher net sales per active customer indicates a healthy and expanding e-commerce enterprise. With strong guidance in place for the current fiscal year, I believe that the pet store retailer remains a compelling growth story for 2026. Data by YCharts Previous Rating I rated shares of Chewy a Strong Buy in my last coverage on the e-commerce platform -- Growth, Value And Upside In 2026 -- mainly because the enterprise convinced with a positive KPI profile (mainly, its net sales per active customer) and significant momentum in free cash flow. In the fourth quarter, Chewy continued to excel, expanded its core product offerings (it added more veterinary care clinics that complement its existing service proposition), and expanded its EBITDA and free cash flow margins. Strong Core Business: Growing Customer Monetization, Expanding Margins Chewy met revenue expectations for the fourth fiscal quarter on Wednesday, but the retailer missed slightly on earnings: the e-commerce platform reported non-GAAP earnings of $0.27 per share, which fell short of consensus expectations by $0.01 per share. Revenues came in at $3.26B, which met the average prediction exactly. Chewy continued to see positive operating momentum in its core e-commerce operations in the fourth fiscal quarter, for which the online pet retailer reported $3.3B in total revenue, showing 8% year-over-...

The war with Iran is significantly impacting energy supplies. Iran has attacked tankers trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively closing that key energy market chokepoint. The fighting escalated last week when Israel attacked Iran's South Pars natural gas field. Iran responded by striking energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. Damage to liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in Qatar will likely have a long-term impact on energy markets. Here's a look at what happened and some LNG stocks that could capitalize on the opportunity to fill in the global supply gap. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
