This market will resolve to "Down" if the official NASDAQ closing price for Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 is lower than the official NASDAQ closing price for MSFT on the most recent prior trading day. E.g., ordinarily, a market on Monday would refer to the previous Friday for its most recent closing price, unless that Friday were a market holiday, in which case it would refer to Thursday, or the next most recent trading day. If the two specified closing prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve 50-50. Note that all figures will be rounded to the nearest cent using standard rounding. If MSFT does not trade at all during the regular session, the market will resolve 50-50. If either of the relevant days are shortened (for example, due to a market holiday schedule), the official closing price published by NASDAQ for that shortened session will still be used for resolution. If either of the relevant days have no official closing price (for example, due to a trading halt into the market close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.

ClaudioVentrella/iStock via Getty Images The rising tide in energy prices this year has lifted almost all boats. The State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF ( XLE ) is up 33% year-to-date, with only one of its 22 components, Expand Energy ( EXE ), showing red. A few stocks are rising particularly fast, such as those that produce natural gas in Europe, where Dutch TTFF prices have skyrocketed since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Vermillion Energy ( VET ) is up 23% since I recommended it two weeks ago, but I'm kicking myself for not buying small-cap Tenaz Energy Corp. ( ATUUF ), as it has jumped 155% year-to-date. In tidal terms, that's the equivalent of the Bay of Fundy. Another place to look for a surge is in oil producers that receive prices based on international grades, such as North Sea Brent, rather than the benchmark North American grade, West Texas Intermediate. That brings us to California Resources Corp. ( CRC ). Because it's more expensive for California to get oil from the Gulf Coast than from seaborne imports, CRC's crude oil pricing is based on Brent. This is usually a few dollars higher than WTI, but with the loss of Mideast supply, the Brent/WTI spread has jumped to about $18. (To be technical, California pricing is based on Alaska's ANS West Coast grade. This price is only available publicly after a few days' delay, but typically is close to Brent). Data by YCharts CRC is a 2014 spinoff of Occidental Petroleum's California assets, principally in Kern County, which is culturally more like Oklahoma than Hollywood and where local leaders support oil drilling . I recommended the stock last September after the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 237, which green-lighted long-stalled drilling permits in Kern County, up to 2,000 a year. The passage triggered CRC's buyout of its smaller competitor Berry Resources by allowing exploitation of its drilling rights. Net production is expected to grow 12% this year, reversing years of declin...

President Xi Jinping called for Xiong’an New Area to play a leading role in advancing innovative policies in sectors like technology and finance, reaffirming his commitment to develop a high-tech hub near Beijing. The Chinese leader said the development zone, located some 100 kilometers (62 miles) southwest of the capital, should drive growth through reform and innovation, deepen links between technology and industry, and accelerate commercialization of research to promote emerging industries and upgrade traditional sectors, the official Xinhua News Agency reported , citing his remarks during his visit. He also called for speeding up the orderly relocation of non-capital functions from Beijing and steadily transferring projects from state-owned enterprises, universities and hospitals, while supporting the move of financial institutions and research bodies to the area, Xinhua added. Described by Xi as a project of “ millennial significance ,” Xiong’an has been billed as a high-tech city teeming with leading-edge companies, research institutes and world-class transportation that could rival Shenzhen or Shanghai. In practice, progress has been uneven since the plan was unveiled in 2017, with many residents and institutions slow to relocate. However, Xi dispelled any doubts on the project he’s staked his reputation to as he reiterated on Monday that the authorities’ decision to build the Xiong’an New Area is “entirely correct,” according to the Xinhua report.

(RTTNews) - Banc of California, Inc. (BANC) on Monday announced the extension of its $300 million stock repurchase program and its intent to redeem $385 million of subordinated notes due 2031.

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images There are hundreds of technical indicators that market analysts track, but only one gets a live television chyron the moment it breaks. The 200-day moving average (200-DMA) is the single most widely followed technical level in global financial markets, and the reason isn’t mystical; it’s institutional. Quant funds, pension allocators, programmatic traders, systemic funds, and risk managers embed this level directly into their models. When the S&P 500 closes below it, automated selling activates from desks that have nothing to do with earnings or fundamentals. Combine that selling pressure with Friday’s massive options expiration, and you get a sell-off that sent investors home in tears after last week’s close. However, the math behind it is simple, as it is just the average closing price over the previous 200 trading sessions, or 40 weeks, or 10 months of market history. When the price trades above the 200-day average, it suggests the long-term trend is rising. When the price falls below, the long-term trend is deteriorating. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has traded above its 200-DMA during 71% of all trading sessions, and average annual returns during those above-average periods are meaningfully higher than during sessions spent below it. Last week, on March 19th, the S&P 500 closed below its 200-DMA for the first time since May 2025. The first instinct is to panic as media headlines talk about bear markets and financial crisis events. However, as we will explore today, the data says it depends entirely on the type of break: sustained or brief. Therefore, the crucial question for investors is never “did the market break the 200-DMA?” The right question is “what kind of break is this?” A declining 200-DMA, a deteriorating credit backdrop, and a Fed still tightening look nothing like a bull market where the Fed is cutting rates, forward earnings expectations are strong, and the economy is still stable. Treating them the same is the kind of select...

IEA Head Warns Iran War Sparked Energy Crisis Worse Than 1970s Oil Shocks, Ukraine Fallout The head of the International Energy Agency intensified his apocalyptic warning about the global energy crisis, stating early Monday that the US-Israel war with Iran has sparked a shock far greater than the twin oil crises of the 1970s and the turmoil from the war in Ukraine combined. US-Israeli Operation Epic Fury has entered its fourth week, and emerging from the fog of war is the understanding that 44 energy assets across the Gulf region have been severely or very severely damaged by either U.S. and allied forces or by Iranian forces, according to IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol, who spoke at a media event in Australia on Monday. "This crisis, as things stand, is now two oil crises and one gas crash put all together," Birol warned at the National Press Club of Australia in Canberra. So far, the conflict has removed 11 million barrels of oil per day from global supply, which is more than the two prior oil shocks combined. There are concerns that repairs to QatarEnergy's damaged LNG facility could take up to five years, while the disruption to energy flows has sparked a fuel crisis across Asia and is set to affect fertilizer and food supplies, as well as helium , potentially jeopardizing AI chip production. "The global economy is facing a major, major threat today, and I very much hope that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible," Birol said. As of 0710 ET, Brent crude futures plunged 11% on President Trump's Truth Social desesclation comments - a sign the administration needs an offramp to avoid a further energy crisis globally, but more importantly, one at home with fuel prices at the pump exploding higher. Overnight, President Trump gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to reopen the Hormuz chokepoint or face a bombing campaign targeting Iran's power plants. There were reports overnight that the Trump administration was preparing a diplomatic off-ramp plan, but Iran sa...
