The revered documentarian wades into unexplored territory with the US president and Xi Jinping’s relationship – and there is a moment so startling that it feels like pure comedy gold It’s not normal to view documentaries about international trade negotiations as light relief, but we are where we are. Clash of the Superpowers: America vs China is a two-parter produced by film-maker Norma Percy, whose signature style – on series including The Iraq War, Putin vs the West and Inside Europe: Ten Years of Turmoil – is to use first-hand testimonies to revisit diplomatic flashpoints from a decade or so ago: sufficiently soon after the events for everyone who was there to still be alive, but late enough for them to no longer be in the same job and now be willing to gossip. Percy’s latest opens with the arrival of Chinese president Xi Jinping at the Davos forum in 2017. On his debut appearance at the event, Xi stimulates delegates with a speech positioning himself as a champion of free trade, offering to work with other countries for mutual economic benefit. What might historically have been an odd tack for China’s leader is not that surprising to the bankers, financiers and politicians in the room, who know Xi is pre-empting the inauguration, a few days later, of Donald Trump as US president.

Oil fell sharply on Monday, again posting one of the biggest price swings on record, after US President Donald Trump said he was holding off on striking Iranian power plants and was negotiating a potential end to the war. Brent and West Texas Intermediate both tumbled more than 14% before clawing back some losses, with the global benchmark closing below $100 for the first time in almost two weeks. Trump’s announcement on Truth Social kicked off a dramatic trading session, with the US president backing off a threat of hitting Iranian infrastructure. Iran, for its part, repeatedly denied it was negotiating with the US to end the conflict. Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Energy and Commodities Americas Simon Casey joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)

Good morning. As we wake up to the latest headlines on the war in Iran, this time it’s the return of the TACO trade (Trump Always Chickens Out). President Donald Trump said he would postpone his threats of an attack on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days after what he called “productive conversations” — discussions that Iran has denied. Still, markets overnight seem to be taking the news well, and we can expect a similar reaction here in Australia. While the latest developments are positive, there’s no shortage of warnings about the impact of the war. IEA’s executive director said Monday that the severe damage to several energy assets could extend global supply chain disruptions, while Australia’s financial regulators emphasized vigilance. - Carmeli Argana, Australian stocks reporter What’s happening now More than 40 energy assets across nine countries in the Middle East have been “severely or very severely” damaged by the war, potentially prolonging disruptions to global supply chains after the conflict ends, according to International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol. Adding to the warnings, Australia’s top financial regulators said on Monday that an escalation in global geopolitical tensions could amplify financial stability risks , emphasizing the need for continued vigilance. Authorities said they are closely coordinating with industry to assess the effects for domestic markets. Meantime, Fortescue expects its extensive use of Chinese capital and mining equipment to set it apart from rival iron ore producers as Beijing seeks to extend its influence in the market. Chief Executive Officer Dino Otranto said in an interview that Fortescue had already taken significant steps to source equipment from Chinese suppliers.

New York, March 23, 2026, 4:22 PM EDT Micron Technology took another hit Monday, dropping 4.4% to close at $404.25. This comes as the memory-chip giant joined the S&P 100 before the bell, part of the index’s routine reshuffle. The stock’s decline was particularly notable given the Nasdaq Composite’s 1.39% climb. News Release Archive Why does it matter? Micron finds itself right at the heart of the AI chip supply chain these days. The company, together with Samsung and SK Hynix, essentially forms the trio dominating high-bandwidth memory—HBM—vital for AI systems. That puts Micron’s stock in the spotlight; investors use it as a pulse check for the strength of the current spending frenzy. Reuters This isn’t a reaction to disappointing numbers. Just last week, Micron projected third-quarter revenue at $33.5 billion, give or take $750 million—handily topping LSEG’s analyst consensus of $24.29 billion. That followed a second-quarter revenue result of $23.86 billion, which also cleared expectations, and the board approved a 30% bump to the quarterly dividend. Reuters The scale of investment required caught investors off guard. Micron is projecting capital expenditures topping $25 billion for fiscal 2026—with 2027 set for another significant jump, as the company presses ahead with new cleanroom space and more equipment linked to DRAM and HBM demand. Just construction-related capex is on track to surge by over $10 billion year over year in fiscal 2027, according to the company. “Construction activity is really driving a very significant increase” in overall capex, Chief Business Officer Sumit Sadana told Reuters. One example: Micron’s $1.8 billion Tongluo fab acquisition in Taiwan, which, according to the company, should begin boosting DRAM wafer production starting in the second half of 2027. Reuters Creative Strategies CEO Ben Bajarin called the expanded build-out “makes sense” given current demand trends and capacity needs. But Mike O’Rourke, JonesTrading’s chief market s...

The United States will face a “critical shortage” of China expertise within a decade that threatens to leave policymakers struggling to manage Washington’s most consequential strategic relationship, a report said on Monday. As China experts retire and the number of Americans studying in China sharply declines, the resulting talent gap presents a “national security and an economic competitiveness” problem, warned the report by an expert working group of the Washington-based non-profit US-China Education Trust. “It is a national security imperative that that happens,” said Nicholas Burns, the US ambassador to China under President Joe Biden, who spoke at the report’s launch, underscoring the importance of studying Mandarin and living in China. Advertisement The study, conducted between September 2025 and January 2026 and funded by the US embassy in Beijing under the President Donald Trump administration, argued that China expertise should be treated as a strategic asset, urging Washington to elevate bilateral education exchanges to the same level as trade and security in US-China relations. “America’s ability to understand and manage its most consequential strategic relationship is eroding,” the report observed, citing the loss as specialists retire and are not replaced. FULL EVENT: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi holds press conference FULL EVENT: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi holds press conference The report found much to blame on both sides, including restrictive visa policies, overblown espionage fears, deep mistrust, reduced budgets and overly tight national security concerns.

Two positive analyst moves in recent days, including a meaty price target hike, provided a significant lift for Ciena (CIEN +6.25%) stock on Monday. Investors took these updates to heart, and the tech equipment supplier's share price increased robustly, ultimately ending the day more than 6% higher. A bull gets more bullish Of the two, that price target increase was likely the more impactful. Before market open Monday, Stifel's Ruben Roy upped his Ciena fair value assessment to $430 per share from $320, maintaining his existing buy recommendation. The change was made after Roy attended the company's investor breakfast and, afterwards, met with management at the pivotal Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC). According to reports, the analyst waxed bullish about Ciena's market positioning, which places it nicely to take advantage of numerous opportunities in the current feverish artificial intelligence (AI) build-out. Roy feels that the company's solid fiscal first-quarter 2026 results have already indicated it can capture plenty of this business. Separately, on Saturday, Wolfe Research issued an update noting that Oracle's aggressive pivot into a next-generation data center landlord will directly benefit Ciena. This is because the latter company is a notable supplier of the type of hardware sorely needed for this effort. Expand NYSE : CIEN Ciena Today's Change ( 6.25 %) $ 24.01 Current Price $ 407.90 Key Data Points Market Cap $54B Day's Range $ 393.95 - $ 415.57 52wk Range $ 49.21 - $ 419.80 Volume 3.5M Avg Vol 3.3M Gross Margin 39.48 % A victim of popularity? It's easy to imagine Ciena capturing a significant share of the AI boom, which looks set to be massive and sustainable for years. The catch is that, as a well-known provider of hardware that supports this technology, Ciena has been a very popular stock and is therefore now quite an expensive one. I'd still consider it a buy, but I fear much of its potential upside has already been priced ...

Just_Super/E+ via Getty Images Palo Alto Networks ( PANW ) has developed Prisma Browser into what it said is "the most secure browser built for the agentic AI era." "Organizations are unleashing a new workforce of agents, however, you cannot give autonomy without security," said Anand Oswal , Executive Vice President of AI & Network Security at Palo Alto. "By embedding AI-powered data protection and securing AI interactions directly in the browser, leaders can now confidently greenlight strategic AI initiatives that were previously stalled." Prisma Browser allows businesses to use the large language model of their choice across all models and platforms while securing AI interactions and preventing sensitive data from being released during automated tasks. It also prevents agents from being hijacked or manipulated and is enabled for global compliance. Palo Alto revealed updates to the Prisma AIRS platform as well. It provides end-to-end security across the AI agent life cycle. "Enterprise AI adoption has rapidly expanded from one-off pilots to broad-scale deployments," the cybersecurity company said. "However, as autonomous agents now independently access databases and execute workflows, new trust gaps and attack surfaces emerge without the proper guardrails. Prisma AIRS bridges the gap by securing not only what an AI says but also what an agent does at every point of the AI supply chain." Finally, Palo Alto also introduced Next-Generation Trust Security, which transforms cryptographic trust from a manual process to an automated network control. "Managing updates manually takes considerable time and coordination across several teams, and with increased scale and speed requirements, a manual approach is no longer viable," Oswal said. "With NGTS and our quantum-safe security solution, the network becomes the ultimate control point to automate the cryptographic reset."
