Written by: Skerdian Meta • • 5 min read • Quick overview Oracle shares have rebounded approximately 10% this week, despite ongoing concerns about rising debt and legal scrutiny. The company plans to cut thousands of jobs and pause hiring in its cloud unit to manage costs associated with its AI infrastructure investments. Investor skepticism is growing around the Stargate AI project, which may not be as operationally developed as initially claimed. Despite strong revenue growth, Oracle's cash flow has weakened significantly due to heavy capital expenditures on data centers. Live ORCL Chart ORCL 0.0000 MARKETS TREND [[ORCL-graph]] Oracle shares have rebounded sharply this week, but rising debt, legal scrutiny, and growing skepticism around the ambitious Stargate AI project continue to cast a cautious shadow over the company’s long-term outlook. Oracle Shares Rebound After Weak Start to 2026 Oracle began 2026 under pressure as investor confidence weakened amid concerns about rising leverage, legal challenges, and the company’s aggressive artificial intelligence infrastructure investments. However, sentiment improved this week, with Oracle stock climbing roughly 10% as traders positioned ahead of the company’s upcoming fiscal third-quarter results. The rebound began on Monday despite broader weakness across the technology sector. By Thursday, Oracle shares were moving higher even as U.S. equity markets declined, suggesting that investors are increasingly focused on the company’s earnings outlook and AI-driven growth strategy. Still, the rally has done little to erase deeper concerns surrounding Oracle’s ambitious spending plans and the long-term economics of its artificial intelligence initiatives.

Aeluma (ALMU) drew fresh attention after Benchmark reiterated its positive rating on March 3, 2026, linking its view to Nvidia’s optical investments as investor interest pushed the stock up 4.88%. See our latest analysis for Aeluma. That move sits against a tougher recent stretch, with the latest share price of $15.72 following a 1-day share price return of 14.38% decline and a year to date share price return of 11.69% decline, even as the 1-year total shareholder return of 147.17% and 3-year total shareholder return of roughly 3.5x suggest longer term momentum has been strong. If you are watching how optical and AI themes ripple across markets, it could be worth scanning our screener of 35 AI infrastructure stocks as a starting list of ideas beyond Aeluma. With Aeluma still loss making on modest revenue, yet trading below Benchmark’s US$25 price target and carrying a strong multi year shareholder return, investors may question whether there is any upside left or whether the market is already pricing in future growth. Most Popular Narrative: 38.4% Undervalued At a last close of $15.72 against a most followed fair value estimate of $25.50, the current price sits well below what this narrative is working with. Growing global demand for AI infrastructure and data center interconnects, including co packaged optics and massively parallel optical links, positions Aeluma’s high speed optical interconnect platform to transition from funded R&D into multi million unit commercial volumes, supporting sustained revenue growth and operating leverage.

法国总统马克龙5日在社交媒体上表示，法方必须采取行动防止黎巴嫩再次被卷入战争，并敦促以色列不要升级对黎巴嫩的战事。 马克龙表示，黎巴嫩人民享有和平与安全的权利，以色列必须避免在黎巴嫩领土上发动任何地面行动或大规模军事行动。 马克龙说，黎巴嫩政府已向他承诺，将控制真主党的阵地并全面承担起国家的安全责任。法国将加强与黎巴嫩武装部队的合作，向其提供装甲运兵车及作战和后勤支持。 据以色列国防军发言人埃菲·德夫林5日对媒体发布的消息，以军自2日以来已袭击了黎巴嫩境内超320个目标。(新华社)

财联社3月6日讯（编辑 黄君芝） 美国内政部长道格·伯古姆（Doug Burgum）周四表示，特朗普政府正在权衡一系列方案，以应对伊朗战争期间石油和汽油价格飙升的问题。 “所有方案都在考虑之中，” 他在周四的采访中表示，并补充说， 该清单包括可能立即产生影响的行动，以及更长期、更复杂的选择。 据悉，美国总统特朗普周二与伯古姆和其他高级顾问举行紧急会议，讨论一系列方案，随后宣布计划提供保险担保和海军护航，以确保油轮和其他船只安全通过霍尔木兹海峡。特朗普强调，“无论如何，美国都将确保能源自由流通到世界各地。” 美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周三也表示，在美国与以色列对伊朗采取军事行动期间，原油市场供应充足。特朗普政府将为途经波斯湾的油轮提供支持，并将在未来几天宣布更多措施。 据分析， 其他可能性包括动用国家紧急石油储备，并可能与其他国家协调行动以最大限度地发挥效力。 然而，政府官员迄今为止尚未采取行动动用战略石油储备。 分析人士指出， 政府还可以考虑其他选择，包括豁免燃料混合要求，甚至让美国财政部交易石油期货。 不过，世界最大经济体介入石油市场交易将是史无前例的。美国作为世界最大的石油生产国和最大的石油消费国之一，拥有独特的地位。目前尚不清楚这样的计划将如何降低原油和汽油价格。 与此同时，伯古姆表示，美国国际开发金融公司（DFC）为油轮提供保险的计划细节仍在制定中。 “团队正在努力工作，”他说道，并提到了贝森特和能源部长克里斯·赖特的参与。 “作为联邦政府，我们有机会介入并建立某种程度的正常秩序，”他补充说：“美国可以承担一些风险，以确保我们在世界各地的盟友物资充足，而且只有我们能够做到这一点，因为我们拥有足够的财力和海军力量来实现这一目标。” 自美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击以来，油价已上涨约18%，而降低油价的努力正值11月中期选举前夕，此次选举结果可能取决于民众对生活成本的担忧。特朗普经常吹嘘在他执政期间汽油价格有所下降。然而，如今油价却受到伊朗战争的威胁，已升至近一年来的最高水平。 尽管特朗普及其政府高官屡屡扬言会“不惜一切”保障供应、降低油价，但华尔街及业内专家似乎并不买账。随着围绕伊朗的冲突持续升级并对中东以外地区产生外溢影响，美股剧烈动荡，美股三大指数周四集体收跌，道琼斯指数更是暴跌近800点。 华尔街分析师们普遍认为，特朗普的保证是一个良好的开端，但总统需要做出...

记者从中国科学院化学研究所获悉，该研究所朱道本院士、狄重安研究员团队联合国内合作者，成功研制出不规则多级孔结构塑料热电薄膜，其核心性能指标热电优值（zT值）突破1.64，创下柔性热电材料同温区性能世界纪录， 为可穿戴设备、贴附式制冷、物联网传感器等技术发展提供关键材料支撑。 热电材料是能实现热能与电能相互转换的“能量魔术师”，基于两种基本物理效应：塞贝克效应和帕尔贴效应，就可以在无燃料、无噪音的情况下完成发电与制冷。因此在节能减排、绿色能源领域具有重要意义。 柔性热电材料兼具柔韧性和可弯折性，可以贴附在人体、衣物或任何曲面，悄无声息地将周围的“废热”转化为电能。 其中柔性热电材料能贴合人体、曲面等场景，是回收利用废热的理想选择，但长期以来，聚合物热电材料始终面临“高电导率”与“低热导率”难以兼顾的难题，zT值远低于无机材料，成为实用化的关键瓶颈。 为破解这一“鱼与熊掌不可兼得”的困境，研究团队创新性地构建出独特的“多孔无序-狭道有序”双重结构。该材料整体像海绵般布满大小、形状各异的无序孔洞，纳米级的孔隙却能像模具一样，帮助聚合物分子形成高度有序的排列。这一结构让热量难以传递，电子传输却畅通无阻，成功实现了电-热输运的解耦和协同提升。 研究团队通过“聚合物相分离”方法制备该材料，兼容喷涂工艺可一次成型，相较此前技术大幅降低制备难度。这款新型热电塑料薄膜实现了聚合物热电材料zT值超1.5的历史性跨越，创造了柔性热电材料的世界纪录。 未来，该技术应用前景广阔，人体与环境存在5℃到10℃的温差就能让其产生可观电能，我们有望实现一些未来世界的应用场景，例如：我们戴着智能手表晨跑，仅靠体温就能给手表充电；在炎炎夏日，我们仅需一片轻薄如纸的贴片贴在皮肤上，就能给自己带来清凉；未来还能织入衣物成为“移动电源”。另外，凭借其低成本的制备优势，该技术还能在物联网时代为传感器提供持续电能，柔性特点更可使其贴附在各种曲面，大大拓展了应用场景。 此次突破不仅推动了聚合物热电材料迈入实用化门槛，更深化了我们对软物质材料热电转换规律的认知，为后续研究提供了清晰路线图。 未来，普通的塑料有望变身微型发电站，让无处不在的废热成为宝贵能源。

Texas Dem's Senate Bid Hits Turbulence: 'God is Nonbinary' Zealot Hands Republicans A Golden Ticket Democrats needed a winner in Texas. They may have nominated a liability instead. James Talarico barely had time to savor his primary win over Rep. Jasmine Crockett before the Republican opposition research machine started doing what it does best. Within hours of the Associated Press calling the race, an avalanche of old tweets and video clips had already begun circulating - and Republicans are practically giddy. The first batch of video ammunition came courtesy of Senate Republicans, who surfaced a clip of Talarico invoking Scripture to defend gender ideology. " God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is nonbinar y," he said in the footage. Meet James Talarico, Texas’ Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate.

格隆汇3月6日｜据华尔街日报，参与讨论的几位人士表示，阿联酋官员正在权衡冻结伊朗资产可能带来的风险，包括可能会招致伊朗对阿联酋领土及其关键能源基础设施发起长期报复的可能性。这一决定还将破坏与德黑兰的贸易和金融关系，并损害阿联酋从其他政治来源（如俄罗斯）吸引和留住资金的能力。分析人士表示，任何资产冻结措施都不太可能涵盖伊朗企业及公民所持有的所有账户，因为其中有数十万民众居住在阿联酋。伦敦国王学院安全研究学院的高级讲师安德烈亚斯·克里格表示，采取更具针对性的措施的可能性更大，因为阿联酋不想失去所有这些业务，首先会冻结与伊斯兰革命卫队有关的账户。

格隆汇3月6日｜据华尔街日报援引知情人士报道，伊朗已向阿联酋境内目标发射了超过1000枚无人机和导弹，为惩罚这一行为，阿联酋正在考虑冻结该国所持有的约数十亿美元的伊朗资产，这一举措可能会切断伊朗最重要的经济命脉之一。如果阿联酋采取行动，那么伊朗获取外汇以及参与全球贸易网络的渠道将会受到极大限制，其国内经济本已经因通货膨胀而陷入困境。阿联酋官员已私下向伊朗发出警告，称其可能采取行动。据知情官员透露，潜在措施包括冻结那些用于掩盖贸易活动的阿联酋籍“影子公司”的资产，以及对用于绕过正规银行渠道转移资金的当地货币兑换机构进行全面的金融打击。除了金融手段之外，政策制定者们还在考虑采取直接的海上行动，比如扣押伊朗船只。

Palantir Technologies Inc. won an order blocking three former employees from trying to poach its staff and using confidential information for an artificial intelligence startup. US District Judge J. Paul Oetken ruled last month that Percepta AI’s Chief Executive Officer, Hirsh Jain, and Radha Jain, a co-founder and engineer with the firm, likely violated promises they wouldn’t try to hire workers away from their former employer. Oetken also found that a junior software engineer they hired away from Palantir, Joanna Cohen, likely violated the company’s confidentiality. When the judge issued the 41-page opinion in February he sealed it while the parties redacted personal information, confidential business information and data on customers and clients. At the time, he released a one-page order summarizing some of the findings, but did not specify what he would require of the defendants. Details made public Thursday show that Oetken ordered the former employees to stop trying to poach Palantir’s people and use its data, saying Palantir would suffer “irreparable harm” otherwise. “Palantir applauds this decision in our favor — and commends all of our alumni building companies honestly and lawfully,” the company said in a statement Thursday. “In contrast, the defendants’ duplicity is extraordinary. They set out to ‘pillage’ our business and then feigned innocence.” Percepta, which is owned by the venture capital firm General Catalyst , also claimed victory. “This opinion marks a major win for Percepta and for builders everywhere,” Hirsh Jain said in a statement. “No one has a monopoly on applied AI. When massive companies try to sue startups out of existence, they are using their scale to stifle innovation.” The judge declined to prevent the employees from continuing to work for Percepta, ruling that Palantir’s “sweeping” non-compete requirement was too broad to be enforced against the three. When asked in a hearing whether there was any job Radha Jain or Cohen could have ...

要求阻止特朗普政府近期宣布实施的新关税措施 美国俄勒冈州司法部门5日发布声明称，俄勒冈州联合另外23个州向美国国际贸易法院提起诉讼，要求阻止特朗普政府近期宣布实施的新关税措施。 一年多来，特朗普政府在没有法律授权的情况下征收关税，给美国经济带来混乱。美国最高法院两周前裁定，特朗普政府此前依据《国际紧急经济权力法》对多国产品加征关税的做法违法。在裁决后，总统特朗普并未接受败诉结果，转而援引《1974年贸易法》第122条款，宣布对全球大多数产品征收15%的关税。 声明指出，该条款只适用于“巨大且严重的国际收支赤字”等特定情况，而贸易逆差并不等同于国际收支赤字，这意味着特朗普再次违法。该行为破坏了宪法规定的权力分立原则，并违反《行政程序法》。 美国纽约联邦储备银行研究人员近期发布的分析报告表明，2025年，美国“关税成本”约90%由美国消费者和企业承担，特朗普是在继续推行失败的经济政策。专家估计，在俄勒冈州，新关税措施将使普通家庭每年生活成本增加1200美元以上。
