U.S. President Donald Trump (R) and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (L) attend the Peace Council meeting held during the 56th World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on January 22, 2026. Harun Ozalp | Anadolu | Getty Images Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said his country would host talks between the U.S. and Iran in pursuit of a "comprehensive settlement" of the ongoing war . "Pakistan welcomes and fully supports ongoing efforts to pursue dialogue to end the WAR in Middle East, in the interest of peace and stability in region and beyond," Sharif said on X. "Subject to concurrence by the US and Iran, Pakistan stands ready and honoured to be the host to facilitate meaningful and conclusive talks for a comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict," he said. The post tagged the social media profiles of President Donald Trump , U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Trump, on his Truth Social platform , shared a screenshot of Sharif's post later Tuesday morning. The messaging followed reporting that regional leaders are engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to help broker an end to the conflict, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and wrought havoc on the global economy since it began less than a month ago. But much remains unclear about where things stand between the U.S. and Iran, which have made contradictory claims about the status of their discussions. Trump said Monday that top U.S. negotiators and their Iranian counterparts have been engaged in " very, very strong talks " as recently as Sunday evening. As a result of those purported talks, Trump said he would postpone the ultimatum he had issued Saturday for Iran to either open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or else face major strikes on their power plants and energy infrastructure. U.S. stocks rallied on that announcement. Iranian officials, however, denied that any such discussions have taken place. Read more CNBC po...

Samuel Corum | Bloomberg | Getty Images JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Tuesday that while the war in Iran poses near-term risks, it may ultimately improve the prospects for lasting peace in the Middle East. "I think the Iran war makes it a better chance in the long run — it's probably riskier in the short run, because we don't know the outcome of it," Dimon told Palantir executive Mike Gallagher at a conference held in Washington, D.C. The key shift, according to Dimon, is a convergence of interests among regional powers. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the U.S. and Israel all want permanent peace, he said, adding that Gulf states in particular have shown a willingness to move in that direction. "The attitude is not what the attitude was 20 years ago," Dimon said. "They all want it." Dimon, who leads the world's largest bank by market cap, also tied his analysis directly to economics, arguing that foreign direct investment — which had been flowing into the region for years — will dry up without stability. "They can't have neighbors lobbing ballistic missiles into their data centers," he said. This story is developing. Please check back for updates.

Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson pitched increasing natural gas flows to the US, aimed at boosting LNG exports from the Gulf Coast and meeting rising power demand from artificial-intelligence data centers. In an interview on Bloomberg Television, Hodgson said he had a “wonderful conversation” with US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum during the CERAWeek conference hosted by S&P Global in Houston. Canada currently ships 8 billion cubic feet per day of gas to the US, helping underpin 20 billion cubic feet per day of American liquefied natural gas exports, Hodgson said Tuesday. “We talked about how we could help send more gas down to help you export more off the Gulf Coast and to help you with your AI strategy,” Hodgson said. “Obviously a key component of the AI race is building more data centers. That requires more natural gas. We can provide that gas.” The Middle East conflict has tightened global energy markets, including LNG, after Iranian missile strikes caused extensive damage to Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex. Germany’s economy minister is now urging utilities to lock in additional long-term LNG supply, including from non-US producers. Hodgson also said he assured Wright and Burgum that Canada is doing everything possible to keep oil flowing amid the war. The country has committed 23.6 million barrels toward the International Energy Agency’s emergency release of 400 million barrels. Canada doesn’t maintain strategic reserves as a net oil exporter, but companies have reason to offer more supply while US crude trades around $90 a barrel after briefly passing $100. The Canadian government has asked oil sands producers to delay planned second-quarter maintenance to maintain output, Hodgson said. “Right now we have asked them not to do that so they can keep producing and sending oil both to the United States and also to our allies around the world,” Hodgson said. Previously, major oil sands producers had not confirmed turnaround delays....

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images At GTC this past week, CEO Jensen Huang stated the revenue opportunity for Nvidia Corporation’s ( NVDA ) artificial intelligence chips may reach at least $1 trillion through 2027, up from a previous target of $500 billion. While that grabbed most of the headlines, there was another jaw-dropping statistic that will set the stage in the coming years – which was the ability to drive up to 35X higher throughput per megawatt with its new Groq 3 LPX racks. The 256-chip LPX rack introduces Groq’s unique SRAM‑based architecture that allows Nvidia to offload decode‑phase workloads and massively increase token throughput. This primarily targets trillion‑parameter large language models ("LLMs"), million-token context, and multi‑agent systems, which are bottlenecked less by compute and more by how efficiently a system can move data and generate tokens. Paired with the new Vera Rubin GPUs, Nvidia claims this architecture can deliver up to 35X higher throughput per megawatt, with seamless integration into Vera Rubin deployments. In some ways, this acquisition draws parallels to Nvidia’s $6.9 billion acquisition of Mellanox, which my firm covered for premium research members in 2020. Mellanox was a strategic purchase to clear the bottleneck at the time on GPU performance, which was scale-out networking. By combining Nvidia’s GPUs with the strength of Mellanox’s InfiniBand, smart NICs, and switching, Nvidia was able to turn accelerators into clusters by removing the limiter at that time (scale-out networking). The Groq acquisition is aimed at solving a different limiter, which is inference throughput per watt, where memory bandwidth can become the gating factor to token output and cost. Nvidia is preparing to position its GPUs to be among the best inference options available, utilizing Groq’s unique SRAM-based architecture to significantly turbocharge token throughput and accelerate inference performance. Nvidia expects Groq will...

watch now VIDEO 8:40 08:40 The reaction to rising oil prices and a hawkish Fed Halftime Report With the Iran war in its fifth week, consumers are getting hit hard by surging energy costs. Now, some lawmakers are warning of the potential for price gouging, even as experts point to extreme supply shocks. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz , a critical maritime shipping route for global oil supplies, remains effectively at a standstill, causing the biggest oil supply disruption in history . Oil prices have soared more than 40% since the start of the U.S.-Iran war on Feb. 28 , triggering price spikes for gas and jet fuel. Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, topped $112 a barrel on Friday before retreating. As of Tuesday morning, it was trading at about $103 . Gasoline , which is refined from crude oil, reached a nationwide average of $3.98 a gallon as of Tuesday, up about 35% from a month ago, according to AAA . Jet fuel prices are up about 106% versus a month ago, according to the International Air Transport Association, which measured data for the week ended March 20. Already, some airlines said they will increase fares or tack on fuel surcharges to tickets. Elizabeth Warren targets price gouging Sen. Elizabeth Warren , D-Mass., is now urging the Federal Trade Commission to watch for businesses trying to take advantage of consumers by raising prices more than necessary amid the conflict. "We write regarding our concerns that big corporations may seek to profit off President Trump's war against Iran by unfairly raising prices for American consumers," Warren and several other lawmakers wrote in a letter sent Tuesday to Andrew Ferguson, chair of the FTC, and shared exclusively with CNBC.
