The Federal Reserve held its benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75% on Wednesday, a decision widely anticipated by markets. Policymakers signaled a cautious, data-dependent approach as they assess inflation trends and broader economic conditions. Seeking Alpha analysts noted that the Federal Open Market Committee appears increasingly balanced in its outlook, leaving the door open to future policy adjustments while emphasizing uncertainty surrounding growth, labor market resilience, and the trajectory of price pressures. See what some analysts had to say about the latest rate decision below: SA analyst Jeremy LaKosh stated: “While many in the media have been obsessing over the changes in inflation due to the Iranian conflict, investors should not sleep on the health of the labor market. The Federal Reserve’s projections leave little room for further deterioration in the unemployment rate. A further drop in job gains (or a raise in the unemployment rate) could force the Fed’s hand on moving rates below its target,” in The Fed Notes Higher Uncertainty, But Remains Firm On Future Outlook . SA analyst Jack Bowman stated: “The Fed is preparing markets for a 'higher for longer' rate environment, despite unchanged growth, inflation, and unemployment projections. The tendency is shifting longer despite no movement elsewhere,” in Rates Will Be Higher For Longer . SA analyst John M. Mason outlined: “Experts still seem to think that the Fed may be planning on one more reduction in the policy rate while Chairman Powell is still Federal Reserve Chairman… That time is running out very rapidly,” in Federal Reserve: No Change .

The Texas Stock Exchange, an upstart Dallas-based bourse backed by Michael Dell , BlackRock and some of the world’s biggest asset managers, has poached executives from Nasdaq Inc. and the New York Stock Exchange , as it seeks to bring stock listings to the Lone Star State. Greg Ferrari, former head of North American exchange trading at Nasdaq, is joining TXSE as chief operating officer, to oversee the its day-to-day operations, a spokesperson for TXSE confirmed. The stock exchange has also hired Liz Hocker as global head of listings and capital markets, the spokesperson added. Hocker was regional head of capital markets at NYSE, a unit of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc . Exchange operators have recognized the potential posed by Texas, which has increasingly become home for major corporations like Tesla , Chevron and Oracle . Intercontinental Exchange Inc. , which also owns NYSE, last year rebranded a Chicago-based electronic stock exchange as NYSE Texas. Dozens of companies including AT&T , Builders FirstSource Inc. , D.R. Horton Inc. , and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. , have chosen to cross-list their shares on NYSE Texas and in New York. TXSE is expected to start secondary market trading in securities in the summer of 2026, with new listings in exchange-traded products expected to arrive later in the year, according to a spokesperson. The exchange hopes IPOs will begin listing in 2027. Ferrari will relocate to Dallas from the New York area as part of the move. He led US options at Nasdaq since 2018, and most recently oversaw business management and strategy for Nasdaq’s North American equities and equity-derivatives business. Hocker was closely involved in the launch of NYSE Texas in 2025, according to the TXSE spokesperson. She is being asked to attract initial public offerings to TXSE, working with bankers and companies to encourage them to pick the startup exchange over Nasdaq and NYSE. Nasdaq confirmed Ferrari’s departure but declined to comment. NYSE ...

For most people, the early stages of the artificial intelligence (AI) rollout have involved asking chatbots questions. While that might seem like a fairly simple use case for the technology, those first forays into AI have been important because they've set the stage for what comes next -- a level of AI that doesn't just answer questions, but turns people's requests into actions performed by AI agents. And that phase of the technology will open a new wave of investable opportunities. So, for example, you'll be able to go beyond just asking a chatbot to find the best auto mechanic in your area. At your request, your AI agent will find them and book you an appointment to see why your car's check engine light keeps coming on. While the AI agent market globally is still relatively small -- it was valued at only $5.2 billion in 2024 -- the researchers at MarketsandMarkets project that it will be valued at $52.6 billion by 2030. That's roughly a 10x climb in just six years. There are many avenues to invest in this market, but there's also an obvious choice. The AI company that needs no introduction

Live Nation Entertainment (LYV 1.15%) sits at the center of the U.S. concert industry, running Ticketmaster and putting nearly 160 million fans through its network last year. There aren't many ways for investors to own this theme directly. Live Nation is the obvious one. It runs the concert experience from the ticket to the stage, and it's been buying and building its own venues in order to capture more of every dollar fans spend. The company now controls 460 venues globally, having tripled its real estate footprint since 2020. When people pay for live music, most of it flows through this company. The Department of Justice wrote the bull case. Its antitrust complaint alleges Ticketmaster controls roughly 80% of primary ticketing at major venues. That's the kind of market share most companies would never put in writing, but the government did it for them. That makes Live Nation the headline story in live music. But for investors looking for a way to invest that's not so crowded, some of country music's rich history is hidden inside a hotel REIT. Nashville's other play on live music Ryman Hospitality Properties (RHP +0.49%) is the one most people haven't heard of, tucked inside a hotel REIT with a 5% yield. It owns a controlling stake in the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, along with large-scale resort properties in major metro areas such as Orlando, Denver, Dallas, and the Washington, D.C. area. Five of the 10 largest nongaming convention hotels in the country are Ryman properties, managed by Marriott under the Gaylord brand. The entertainment segment is smaller, but it's the faster-growing piece, anchored by stages that American music fans already know by name. Country music isn't taking a larger share of the touring industry, and it doesn't have to. The top 10 country tours alone grossed over $1.2 billion last year. Luke Combs and George Strait each earned north of $75 million, and Strait did it in six shows. Ryman fills the rooms, Ticketmaster fi...

Brent oil, the global crude oil benchmark, briefly topped $119 a barrel on Thursday morning after Iran attacked oil and gas infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. They came in retaliation after Israel struck an important Iranian natural gas field. Brent oil is now up more than 80% on the year, with its price recently above $110 a barrel. Meanwhile, the U.S. oil benchmark, WTI, is up more than 70% this year and recently traded near $100 a barrel. Here are two things investors need to know about what's going on in the oil market. A significant escalation Israeli forces attacked Iran's South Pars field on Wednesday. It marked the first direct military strike on Iranian energy infrastructure. South Pars is part of the world's largest natural gas reservoir, which it shares with Qatar (North Dome). It holds enough gas to supply the world's needs for 13 years. Iran currently uses gas from South Pars for domestic needs (electricity production and home heating). Qatar, on the other hand, has invested billions of dollars in developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals to ship gas produced from North Dome to global markets. Iran responded to this attack by striking energy facilities in the Middle East. Missile attacks caused extensive damage to state-owned QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan Industrial City, a major global LNG hub. According to a Reuters report, the attacks knocked out 17% of the country's LNG capacity. QatarEnergy estimates that it could take three-to-five years to repair the facilities. The attacks will have a direct impact on energy giants ExxonMobil (XOM +0.28%) and Shell (SHEL 1.58%). Exxon is QatarEnergy's partner in the damaged LNG facilities, owning a 34% stake in train S4 and a 30% interest in train S6. Meanwhile, Shell owns the Pearl gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar, which experienced extensive damage in the attacks. With these facilities going offline for repairs, it could impact their cash flows. They also have other infrastructure in the region at risk ...

We Are/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction to the VictoryShares International Value Momentum ETF The VictoryShares International Value Momentum ETF ( UIVM ) is a $337M-sized product (in terms of assets under management) that has been in existence since October 24, 2017. UIVM is managed by VictoryCapital and issued under the brand name of VictoryShares. The firm is known for its rules-based niche ETFs. UIVM, which offers an annualized dividend yield of 3.3%, can be picked up at a net expense ratio of 0.35%. What Does UIVM Do? Principally, UIVM’s objective is to track an index called the Nasdaq Victory International Value Momentum Index (NVIVMI), which consists of almost 200 non-US stocks from 23 different international markets that are cheaply valued and have high momentum scores. Given that this is a portfolio of global stocks that are not the most accessible and there are almost 200 stocks to cover, UIVM has gone down the more practical route of resorting to ‘representative sampling’ in its efforts to mirror the performance of NVIVMI, rather than just blindly replicating the latter. For those not familiar, representative sampling means choosing only a smaller portfolio of stocks (than the original index), which in aggregate have the same overall characteristics (be it the overall market-cap breakup, the risk-reward profiles, the sector exposures, etc.) as the underlying index. ETFs that resort to the sampling of their target indices are typically prone to seeing relatively high tracking errors, but we don’t believe one can level that accusation against UIVM, as its tracking errors are quite minimal (across different time frames) and a tad lower than what other ETFs generally experience. How Is UIVM’s Underlying Index Built? While UIVM may not necessarily replicate NVIVMI, it does attempt to ensure that 80% of its net assets consist of holdings from the latter. In that regard, it makes sense to study NVIVMI more closely. NVIVMI’s starting universe is the Nas...

Shares of Gold Royalty Corporation (GROY 8.36%) fell 9.1% on Thursday as of 2:00 p.m. EDT. While Gold Royalty reported earnings last night, this was likely a secondary factor in the stock's fall today, if at all. The entire gold sector was down on Thursday, with gold prices down nearly 6% at that time. Ironically, inflationary fears may be pushing gold prices down today. While inflation would normally mean each ounce of gold is worth more dollars, the past year's price spike and fears over the Federal Reserve's potential reaction to inflation are sending prices down today.

As such, the company is levered to the price of gold but in many ways lower-risk than mining companies, which bear the costs and risks of building and operating physical mines. Gold Royalty was incorporated in 2020 and went public in 2021.

Still, the results likely played a lesser role in today's price action, as most gold mining and streaming stocks were down across the board. The conflict in Iran, and in particular the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, is pushing up oil and gas prices and, by extension, inflation expectations.

skynesher U.S. household net worth reached $184.1T in Q4 2025, a new high, as the stock market rallied at the end of the year, according to data from the Federal Reserve. The net worth increased by $2.2T, or 1.2%, in the quarter, helped by a 2.4% increase in households' stock holdings. The corporate equities on household balance sheets rose to $67.8T from $66.2T in Q3. That offset a 0.8% decline in owner-occupied real estate — to $47.9T from $48.3T. Deposits and money market funds increased 3.0% to $20.5T from $19.9T in the prior quarter. Liabilities edged up to $21.5T in Q4 from $21.3T in Q3. The debt of households and nonprofit organizations rose 3.3% at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in Q4, reflecting somewhat slower growth of mortgage debt and steady growth of non-mortgage consumer credit, the central bank said. Household debt expanded by 3.3% in Q4. The ratio of net worth to disposable personal income, a measure of households' potential to finance consumption out of their wealth, increased to 7.94 in Q4, below the record high in Q1 2002 but well above the historical average, the Fed said in its Financial Accounts report. For businesses, domestic nonfinancial business debt grew 2.4% at a SAAR in Q4, reflecting moderate net issuance of corporate bonds and solid growth in mortgage loans.

Wachiwit Netflix ( NFLX ) is reportedly developing a live global arena tour built around its hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters . The streaming giant is said to be in negotiations with major concert promoters to stage a KPop Demon Hunters world tour that would visit dozens of cities, using large arenas. The tour is expected to launch in 2027 ahead of a planned sequel to the film. The live shows would feature performances of songs from the movie by acts associated with the fictional girl group Huntrix, leveraging the runaway success of soundtrack single "Golden," which reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and has become a sensation in the K‑pop ecosystem. Strategically, the tour could push Netflix ( NFLX ) deeper into live experiential entertainment, turning one of its most watched titles ever into an IP franchise that spans streaming, theatrical experiences, music charts, awards, and now touring. Promoters have reportedly dangled “tens of millions of dollars” in guarantees, suggesting they see the tour as a tent‑pole arena property comparable to top K‑pop and animated concert spectacles.

A China-Europe freight train departs from the China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) Logistics Cooperation Base in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province. Photo: VCG The number of China-Europe freight train trips rose 31.7% year-on-year to 3,501 in the first two months of 2026, reversing a period of sluggish growth. The strong rebound highlights how geopolitical disruptions to global shipping and a recovery in China-Russia trade are redirecting international freight to overland rail routes. From January to February, the network carried 352,100 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo, up 25.2%, according to China State Railway Group Co. Ltd. The surge contrasts with full-year 2025, when total trips increased just 3.2% to about 20,000 and overall cargo volume fell 1.3% to roughly 2.1 million TEUs. Outbound trips dropped 6.1% to 9,898 last year, while inbound journeys rose 14.4% to about 10,100.

A rogue AI agent at Meta took action without approval and exposed sensitive company and user data to employees who were not authorized to access it. Meta confirmed the incident to The Information on March 18 but said no user data was ultimately mishandled. The exposure still triggered a major security alert internally. The available evidence suggests the failure occurred after authentication, not during it. The agent held valid credentials, operated inside authorized boundaries, passing every identity check. Summer Yue, director of alignment at Meta Superintelligence Labs, described a different but related failure in a viral post on X last month. She asked an OpenClaw agent to review her email inbox with clear instructions to confirm before acting. The agent began deleting emails on its own. Yue sent it “Do not do that,” then “Stop don’t do anything,” then “STOP OPENCLAW.” It ignored every command. She had to physically rush to another device to halt the process. When asked if she had been testing the agent’s guardrails, Yue was blunt. “Rookie mistake tbh,” she replied. “Turns out alignment researchers aren’t immune to misalignment.” (VentureBeat could not independently verify the incident.) Yue blamed context compaction. The agent's context window shrank and dropped her safety instructions. The March 18 Meta exposure hasn’t been publicly explained at a forensic level yet. Both incidents share the same structural problem for security leaders. An AI agent operated with privileged access, took actions its operator did not approve, and the identity infrastructure had no mechanism to intervene after authentication succeeded. The agent held valid credentials the entire time. Nothing in the identity stack could distinguish an authorized request from a rogue one after authentication succeeded. Security researchers call this pattern the confused deputy. An agent with valid credentials executes the wrong instruction, and every identity check says the request is fine. That is...

Key Points Netflix's profits continue to rise at a strong pace, which can drive up the company’s valuation. Shares aren’t trading at a bargain valuation, so this variable could be a headwind. Reaching the trillion-dollar milestone seems inevitable, but it might take longer than the bulls are hoping for. 10 stocks we like better than Netflix › It's impossible to argue that Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) isn't one of the most disruptive companies of the century. It created the streaming video category, resulting in monster success. Shares have soared 26,440% in the past two decades (as of March 16). Today, Netflix holds a market cap of about $400 billion. What if the streaming pioneer becomes the next trillion-dollar stock? Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » The math says it's possible Currently, 12 companies carry a market cap of $1 trillion or more. This is clearly an illustrious group to be a part of. The businesses on this list dominate their respective industries, a description fitting for Netflix as well. Netflix's market cap would need to expand by 150% for it to reach the $1 trillion mark. The math says that hitting this milestone is possible. In the past 10 years, the market cap soared by 859%. Even factoring in a slowdown in the future, it can be a realistic outcome. The company's financial performance has been stellar. Netflix's diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased at a compound annual rate of 36.5% between 2022 and 2025. The consensus view among Wall Street analysts is that this profit metric will grow at a yearly pace of 21.2% over the next three years. It's difficult not to get excited about Netflix's growth. In 2025, it added 23 million net new subscribers, pushing revenue 16% higher. Ad sales are projected to double this year to $3 billion. And it's pushing into new areas,...

Trump's mediators offer Hamas formal proposal to give up its weapons in Gaza toggle caption Ahmad Salem/Bloomberg via Getty Images SHEFFIELD, U.K., and JERUSALEM — Mediators have given Hamas a formal proposal to lay down its weapons, a senior U.S. official told NPR. The proposal calls for Hamas and all other militant groups in Gaza to hand over all weapons, making an emerging governing authority responsible for all arms. The demilitarization proposal was handed over to Hamas last week in Cairo, an additional official in the region said. A third person briefed on the proposal called it a comprehensive framework to ensure the "complete handover" and "full decommissioning" of arms belonging to Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza, and that if Hamas accepts the proposal, it would ensure large-scale reconstruction of Gaza. Sponsor Message The person said Hamas has been asked to respond to the proposal in about a weeks time, after the Muslim Eid holiday. Senior Hamas officials did not immediately comment, and one Hamas official denied having received a proposal. Hamas and Israel signed on to President Trump's ceasefire deal last October, in an effort to end two years of war that have devastated Gaza and triggered conflicts across the Middle East. Trump's Board of Peace was established to oversee efforts to demilitarize Hamas, establish a multinational stabilization force for Gaza and ensure an Israeli military withdrawal from the territory. Hamas officials said they were willing to discuss their weapons but had been waiting for a formal proposal from mediators. The work of the Board of Peace has been largely put on hold, however, since the U.S. and Israel launched the war against Iran on Feb. 28, triggering a new regional conflict that has engulfed more than a dozen countries. The members of the new Palestinian transitional committee tasked to run postwar Gaza have still not entered the territory, and no new Palestinian police force or multinational force has been for...
