Vcg | Visual China Group | Getty Images Micron 's blowout second-quarter earnings report fueled by a surge in memory demand hasn't been a boon for the stock. Since reporting on Wednesday, the memory maker's stock has dipped about 15% in the days since. Micron has benefited from the soaring demand for artificial intelligence chips, which require large amounts of memory. Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung make up nearly the entire market for the types of memory that AI companies like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices depend on for their high-performance chips . "Memory today is very tight supply and supply cannot be brought up that easily, and you are seeing that in our results," Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra told CNBC's " Squawk on the Street " on Thursday. "You are seeing the value of memory reflected in our strong financial performance in Q2." Mehotra added that the company has had trouble serving its customers as the supply crunch tightens, with key customers only getting "50% to two-thirds of their requirements."

私募信贷巨头阿瑞斯管理公司和阿波罗资产管理股份有限公司已限制投资者赎回资金，甚至连一半的申请金额都无法提取，凸显这一规模达1.8万亿美元市场的压力正在加剧。 根据周二致股东的信函，规模107亿美元的Ares Strategic Income Fund在客户申请赎回11.6%的情况下，将赎回比例限制在5%。此前，业务发展公司Apollo Debt Solutions周一也表示实施相同的赎回比例上限，此前客户申请赎回比例达到11.2%。 这些赎回请求在比例上高于本月稍早黑石和贝莱德相关基金的水平，表明投资者对流动性较差的私募信贷市场可能出现资金紧张愈发担忧。 多年来推动私募信贷繁荣的全球最大的几家另类资产管理公司，如今正面临投资者情绪转为谨慎的局面，后者对该行业的放贷模式以及其对易受人工智能冲击企业的敞口感到不安。赎回请求的快速增加，也进一步引发市场质疑：直接放贷这种模式是否适合那些希望具备一定流动性的投资者。 面对负面情绪的上升，各大资管机构采取了不同应对方式。Blue Owl Capital旗下基金已开始出售资产，黑石则通过引入员工资金来满足赎回需求。不过总体来看，多数机构仍选择限制赎回，并强调此举的益处。 周二，最新一轮投资者不安情绪一度令阿瑞斯、阿波罗以及竞争对手黑石和KKR & Co．等公司的市值蒸发约102亿美元，四家资管机构股价均下跌逾2%。 责任编辑：丁文武

In this article SHOP JWN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attends an event to pitch AI for businesses in Tokyo, Feb. 3, 2025. Kim Kyung-hoon | Reuters OpenAI is rolling out a new shopping experience within ChatGPT to make it easier for users to find and compare products, after its Instant Checkout feature failed to take off. The company said on Tuesday that shoppers will be able to find products they're looking for by uploading images or describing items and including criteria like their budget, preferences and other constraints. ChatGPT will offer more visual results that people can use to compare different product offerings. "Under the hood, we've improved speed, relevance, and product coverage — so results are more up-to-date and more useful," OpenAI said in a blog post . The update comes after OpenAI pivoted away from Instant Checkout, which allowed users to purchase select items from retailers like Etsy , Walmart and Shopify directly within ChatGPT. OpenAI announced that feature last year and initially billed it as the "next step" in AI-enabled commerce. Analysts previously told CNBC that OpenAI underestimated how difficult the enablement of transactions would be. It struggled to onboard merchants, show accurate data about products, and introduce multi-item carts or connect loyalty memberships. "We've found that the initial version of Instant Checkout did not offer the level of flexibility that we aspire to provide, so we're allowing merchants to use their own checkout experiences while we focus our efforts on product discovery," OpenAI said in the latest post. OpenAI said merchants can now share their product feeds and promotions with the company, which means their products are "fully represented" within ChatGPT. Retailers like Target , Sephora and Nordstrom already support OpenAI's new product discovery experience. Merchants interested in deeper integrations can also continue to develop custom apps within ChatGPT, OpenAI s...

财联社3月25日讯（编辑 赵昊） 周二（3月24日），美股软件板块因一则关于亚马逊开发新AI工具的报道大幅下跌，这一消息重新点燃了过去几个月困扰该行业的“被颠覆”担忧。 截至发稿，iShares扩展科技软件行业ETF（IGV）跌超4.3%。UiPath和HubSpot股价跌超8%，Palantir和SAP跌超4%，微软和谷歌C也跌超近3%。 日内有消息称，亚马逊旗下的云计算服务平台（AWS）正在开发人工智能代理，用于自动化销售、业务拓展等职能，而这些岗位正是这家科技巨头大规模裁员的重点领域。 报道称，AWS的内部人士证实，公司正在开发一个代理程序，该程序“汇集了来自AWS各部门的专业知识”，使这些员工能够“专注于最复杂、最有价值的客户挑战”。 AWS还推出了一款代理程序，帮助销售人员与业务合作伙伴协调云客户交易。AWS前员工还透露，这些自动化举措似乎针对的是公司中最近被裁员的团队的工作。 报道写道，AWS发言人表示，该公司并非试图用人工智能取代员工，而是希望让他们摆脱重复性工作，以便他们能够专注于更高层次的工作。 今年以来，软件股持续遭受重创，包括Anthropic在内的初创公司不断发布人工智能工具，引发了人们对传统软件企业增长前景的担忧。 前一天，Anthropic宣布，其旗下Claude模型已可以操纵用户的电脑完成任务，如打开应用程序、浏览网页和填写电子表格。

adventtr The Middle East war has pulled the gold-crude ratio sharply lower this month, and in order to understand the slump, it is useful to look back at 2020, when the ratio surged to record highs during the pandemic. That episode highlighted how strongly the ratio responds to large, asymmetric shocks in either demand or supply, Saxo Bank said in a note on Tuesday. In 2020, the global economy experienced a severe demand shock. Energy consumption collapsed, sending crude prices sharply lower, while gold rallied as central banks cut rates aggressively and injected liquidity to stabilise growth. The ratio moved higher because oil weakened at the same time as gold strengthened. "The current environment is effectively the mirror image," Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank said, adding that what "we are dealing with today is primarily a supply shock in energy markets, centered on the Middle East and disruptions to key export flows. This has driven a sharp increase in crude prices as physical markets tighten, particularly in refined products." Meanwhile, gold, which up until recently enjoyed a record run of gains, has come under pressure—not necessarily because its longer-term drivers have disappeared, but due to a shift in the macro backdrop, Hansen noted. Gold vs oil prices since Middle East conflict (Seeking Alpha) Higher energy prices are feeding into inflation expectations, which in turn are pushing bond yields higher and forcing markets to reassess the timing and extent of rate cuts. This tightening in financial conditions reduces the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold in the short term. In addition, there is a clear liquidity component . "Following a prolonged rally, gold had become a crowded long. In periods of cross-asset stress, gold is often sold not because it is fundamentally weak, but because it is one of the most liquid assets investors can tap to meet margin calls or rebalance portfolios. This dynamic appears to have played an impor...

Sentiment Shifts on These Beaten Down Stocks: NFLX, ORCL zacks.com

M-Production/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Thesis This would be my first time covering Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. ( ZGN ). It's an iconic Italian luxury fashion company that focuses on high-end clothing and accessories, designing, producing, and selling products under brands such as ZEGNA, Thom Browne, and Tom Ford Fashion through retail stores and online channels around the world. Seeking Alpha After almost a 2-year performance slump, the stock seems to be coming back to life, with one-year momentum almost triple that of the broader market (S&P 500). Seeking Alpha Regardless, after going over its latest results, I'm leaning neutral on the shares because the company's still balancing meaningful brand investment with cost pressures and uneven demand, making the near-term outlook a lot harder to confidently assess. My Take on Ermenegildo Zegna's FY2025 Earnings DTC share of branded revenues : 82% DTC share prior year: 78%. What management seems to be doing is cleaning up the business mix. They are focusing more on selling their products directly to customers through their own stores and their own websites. At the same time, they are reducing how much they sell through wholesale partners that they believe are lower quality. This change is happening especially at Thom Browne . That’s usually a good thing in luxury. When you sell through your own channel, you keep more of the margin, and you control the brand better. So yes, that helped gross margin. Gross Margin: 67.5% Gross Margin Change: +90 bps YoY. But once you go more direct, you also take on more fixed costs. More stores, more staff, more systems, more infrastructure. If the sales volume doesn’t grow quickly enough, the advantage from having a better sales mix gets partly offset by the company’s cost base. In other words, the fixed and operating costs end up absorbing some of the benefit created by selling a more profitable mix of products. Because of that, I wouldn’t simply conclude that everything is good just b...

Netflix Inc. ’s BTS comeback show drew 18.4 million viewers globally, underscoring the demand for real-time events anchored by top-tier talent. The 60-minute program , BTS The Comeback Live|ARIRANG , staged at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul on Saturday evening, was the K-pop group’s first full performance since late 2022. The live broadcast was the No. 1 show in 24 countries, Netflix said in a statement Tuesday. The boy band is gearing up for a world tour after a nearly four-year hiatus as its members fulfilled mandatory military service. The heavily-promoted concert drew a smaller live crowd than initially expected, possibly due to stringent crowd control measures. Read BTS Interview: BTS Discuss Return With New Album ‘Arirang,’ Largest-Ever Tour Netflix’s evolving strategy aims to use live programming to differentiate itself in a competitive streaming market. The company has been investing in infrastructure and production capabilities to support such events in Asia. The effort has delivered increasingly large audiences for Netflix. Its live stream of Alex Honnold’s climb of the Taipei 101 skyscraper drew about 6.2 million viewers in January, while its exclusive streaming of the World Baseball Classic earlier this month targeted a broader audience in Japan. In 2024, the live stream of the NFL Ravens–Texans game peaked at more than 27 million US viewers, according to ratings from Nielsen, with Beyoncé performing at the half-time show. The platform’s biggest success to date remains the 2024 boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which Netflix said reached about 65 million viewers globally. For BTS, the live stream is the centerpiece of a broader comeback rollout that includes a new album, Arirang , a Netflix documentary and a stadium tour projected to generate $1 billion to $2 billion in sales, depending on fan spending on merchandise and paid live-concert streaming on the Weverse platform run by Hybe Co. , the band’s agency.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 24, 2026--C.H. Robinson named to Fast Company’s annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026

Jacob Wackerhausen/iStock via Getty Images By Daniel Loewy, CFA, Karen Watkin, CFA and Fahd Malik An effective multi‑asset income strategy should tap non-traditional sources besides stocks and bonds. The multi-asset playing field presents income investors with broad opportunities across asset classes . But investors that rely only on traditional stock dividends and bond interest may be missing out on other attractive income sources. Why Look Beyond Traditional Stocks and Bonds? The tried-and-true multi-asset income approach of broad exposure to stocks and bonds worked for decades—and still does for some investors. But we believe expanding into a more diverse mix of high-quality income sources may create a more resilient combination of income and growth potential. A strategy tapping income from just two assets, in our view, could be highly vulnerable if one or both struggle. This could limit the ability to capture attractive income consistently. Casting a wider net may capture more yield while reducing the chances that everything declines at once. Embrace Multi-Sector and Alternative Income Streams The world of income investing has expanded over the years. Corporate high-yield bonds, for example, are no longer a US-only proposition—today, they’re only half the global supply. Investing in a global mix taps into different economic cycles; when one region is slowing, another may be growing. Investors can pivot accordingly. Beyond corporate credit, we see benefits to accessing a broad range of building blocks dynamically as market conditions evolve: Emerging-market (EM) corporate bonds Securitized debt, such as asset-backed securities Property such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) Bank loans, including floating rate Variance risk premium, or option selling Preferred stocks and convertible bonds Many of these investments have historically contributed higher yields than most government or corporate bonds. They also behave differently—not just from traditional asset...
