BlueCo ownership can point to commitment of Caicedo Jan Paul van Hecke and Alex Scott are players of interest Moisés Caicedo has handed Chelsea a major boost after verbally agreeing a new deal with the club. The midfielder has been a star performer since his £115m move from Brighton in 2023 and his decision to extend his current deal represents a show of faith in the Chelsea project after a turbulent period, with the club rocked by Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella using recent interviews to question the direction of travel at Stamford Bridge .

总台记者当地时间16日晚获悉，在美国总统特朗普宣布黎巴嫩和以色列将于贝鲁特时间当天午夜停火后，以色列国防军正在对黎巴嫩南部多个地区发动大规模空袭。黎南部城市及其周边地区可以听到导弹爆炸声，战机的轰鸣声也持续不断。美国总统特朗普16日说，黎巴嫩与以色列将于美国东部时间当天17时正式启动为期10天的停火。（央视新闻）

北京时间4月17日凌晨，美股周四午盘恢复上涨，纳指与标普500指数再创历史新高。中东紧张局势出现缓和迹象、对AI交易的乐观情绪和一些企业财报令股指得到支撑。 道指涨94.65点，涨幅为0.20%，报48558.37点；纳指涨111.70点，涨幅为0.47%，报24127.72点；标普500指数涨23.13点，涨幅为0.33%，报7046.08点。 周四午盘，标普500指数一度上涨至7048.79点，纳指最高上涨至24137.18点，二者均刷新了盘中历史最高纪录。 标普500指数和以科技股为主的 纳斯达克 指数在上一交易日均触及关键里程碑：前者首次收于7000点上方，后者首次收于24000点上方。 此前，美国总统特朗普在周三播出的一段预先录制的福克斯商业频道采访中表示，伊朗战争“非常接近结束”，并声称德黑兰“非常想达成协议”。 特朗普周三还宣布，以色列与黎巴嫩之间的谈判将于周四举行。伊朗议会议长曾表示，以色列停止对黎巴嫩的攻击是启动伊朗战争谈判的关键条件。 至于华盛顿与德黑兰之间，第二轮谈判正在讨论中，但尚未正式安排任何议程。这是根据一位要求匿名以讨论政府内部计划的白宫官员的说法。 近日股市因美伊最终达成和平协议的希望而上涨。标普500指数在本周初已抹去自伊朗战争爆发以来的全部跌幅。 Ned Davis Research首席全球投资策略师蒂姆·海耶斯周三表示：“就情绪指标和估值而言，我们基本上回到了2月底的水平。如果我们想继续走高，我认为市场必须在这里扩大广度，不能只靠纳斯达克。” 但海耶斯也持谨慎态度，指出投资者可能过于仓促地涌入市场反弹。 “我现在会有点谨慎。我不认为现在是重新入场的时候，”他补充道。“这些股票出现了某种快速的回归，但这种势头能否持续？市场广度能否扩大？还有待观察。” 地方联储指数显示物价飙升 周四发布的几份地区联邦储备银行报告显示，商业活动有所增加，但物价也大幅上涨。 费城联储制造业指数和纽约联储服务业指数4月份均表现强劲，不过也存在一些隐忧。 在费城地区，月度读数跃升至26.7，较3月份上升8.6个点，高于 道琼斯 预期的12个点。新订单和出货量均有所增长。然而，支付价格指数飙升近15个点至59.3，而招聘指标则从0.8下滑至-5.1。 与此同时，纽约联储服务业指数上升了9个点，但仍为负值（-14）。此外，商业景气指数下降3个点至-49.3，报...

NextNav ( NN ) shares gained over 20% during afternoon trading on Thursday after Oppenheimer upgraded the stock to Outperform from Perform, with a price target of $25. The brokerage firm believes that the FCC Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) approval of NN's re-banding is imminent. Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan highlighted that the company would receive an additional 1 MHz of spectrum, giving it a contiguous 15 MHz (5.1B MHz-POPs) in the lower 900 MHz band. “The spectrum could be worth substantially more than $0.80, depending on FCC restrictions on power and coverage, which will be disclosed in the NPRM, similar recent sales have been above $2 per MHz-POP.” The brokerage firm also sees several strategic acquirers across wireless/satellite, with AT&T the most logical fit, but SpaceX and Verizon Communications are also credible buyers. NextNav shares have gained nearly 24% so far this year, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500, which has gained 2.6% during the same period.

DuniaDaw/iStock via Getty Images It's been a year since I wrote about the YieldMax GOOGL Option Income Strategy ETF ( GOOY ). At the time of the earlier thesis, markets were crashing due to tariff uncertainties. I had taken a Hold stance primarily because single stock based covered call writing strategies cannot be seen in isolation — the underlying moves do impact the total returns trajectory of the income variant. And GOOY did not look like a route for total returns, especially with Google already at the lows at that point. That picture has changed today. Alphabet Inc. ( GOOG ) has already rallied by ~100% over the past year. And it has been consolidating since October. Theoretically, that could be a time when covered calls become more relevant and can generate income on their own, even if the underlying goes nowhere. GOOY's structure shows a call spread setup which ensures sharp upside can be captured reasonably well. That means premium harvesting is compromised to an extent, but GOOY somewhat offsets that trade-off by an aggressive call coverage seen today. All in all, given where we are in the Google capex cycle and expectations of a flatter regime for the next few quarters, GOOY could be a decent tool to generate stable income. How GOOY is Set Up I downloaded GOOY's full holdings as of April 15th 2026, and saw around 6.6k contracts set up as a synthetic long exposure (selling puts and buying strikes at a $310 strike). That accounts for the fund's AUM too at ~$210 million (6.6 thousand contracts x 100 multiple x ~$320-$340 share price range now). The covered call layer is implemented as a spread. Calls at near strikes are written (across 3 strikes ranging from $317.5 to $322.5 - with ~70% of the writing activity at the farthest strike). For each call written, a call is bought $7.5 away. That's a laddered call spread structure, which means net premiums received are lower than simply selling covered calls. The ladder and spread setup ensures that any sharp upside...

hxdbzxy/iStock via Getty Images Industrial stocks ( XLI ) have surged to their most expensive valuations relative to the S&P 500 ( SPY ) ( VOO ) in nearly four decades, Bank of America Securities said in a Thursday note, as the sector attracts heavy investor interest across multiple themes. The firm said industrials ( XLI ) now trade at peak relative price-to-forward earnings, with buyside exposure at record levels. Investors are treating the sector as a bundled bet on defense spending, artificial intelligence-linked capital investment and energy sensitivity. BofA noted that many non-energy companies with high oil betas sit inside industrials, allowing the sector to function as “closet energy” for portfolios facing constraints around owning fossil fuel producers directly. That dynamic has helped industrials benefit even as hedge funds' energy ( XLE ) allocations remain structurally light, the note said.

Micron Technology, Inc. is leveraging the high demand for high-bandwidth memory chips and artificial intelligence servers to strengthen its global market rank.

Bonds tied to US prime auto loans are weakening, signaling that investors are getting slightly more worried about the strength of consumers as more borrowers fall behind on car debt payments. Risk premiums on bonds backed by prime auto loans have climbed to their highest level in around a year, or about 1.45 percentage point above a benchmark, according to recent data from JPMorgan Chase & Co. for securities rated in the BBB tier. That compares with 1.2 percentage point at the end of February. Just 0.42% of prime auto loans were delinquent at the end of February, but that level is around the highest since 2017, according to Fitch Ratings data . For subprime borrowers, the figure in that month was closer to 6.8%, near record highs. Rising delinquencies are weighing on ratings for some of the securities. In a little- noticed development in late March, S&P Global Ratings downgraded six classes of Carvana Co. bonds, citing higher-than-expected losses on the pools of prime loans. Downgrades of securities backed by pools of high-quality auto loans are rare. Before Carvana, the last one came around the start of the 2010s. Much of the weakness in loan performance comes from vehicles financed in 2022 and 2023, before many banks tightened their lending standards again after relaxing them during the period of super-low interest rates during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Lenders are still dealing with issues in car loans made during the pandemic, before the toll of higher interest rates really set in,” said Michael Hislop , an analyst at Curasset Capital Management. “About 70% of America’s GDP is household consumption,” he added. “You want to pay very close attention to anything that’s going on with prime borrowers.” A spokesperson for Carvana declined to comment. All the downgraded Carvana bonds remain investment grade and, overall, risk premiums on prime auto asset-backed securities don’t indicate that investors are panicking. Even as it downgraded the six Carvana bonds, S&P also u...

Wenjie Zheng/iStock Editorial via Getty Images U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., has asked the CEOs of Delta Air Lines ( DAL ), United Airlines ( UAL ), Southwest Airlines ( LUV ), and JetBlue Airways ( JBLU ) to lower their fares if and when fuel costs decline. “If airline pricing is truly tied to global fuel costs, then it must be truly responsive when those costs decline," Torres said in a letter to the airline CEOs, according to CNBC . “I call on you to publicly commit to lowering costs associated with air travel should jet fuel prices decline. The American people deserve fairness and pricing models that do not only reflect market conditions, but also economic justice," Torres added. CNBC said JetBlue, Southwest, and Delta didn't immediately comment on the congressman's remarks, while United declined to comment.

纽约联储行长 威廉姆斯 表示，高度的不确定性应该阻止政策制定者对未来利率路径给出任何明确的指引，尽管他预计长期仍将会降息。 “鉴于每天、每周都有各种变化，我们试图给出明确的指引并不合理，”威廉姆斯周四在纽约一场活动间隙对记者表示。但他补充称，一旦通胀开始回落，将有空间下调利率，以确保货币政策仅保持适度限制。 他说：“随着通胀回落至2%，我们需要降低名义利率，以避免实际利率被动上升。” 他在对记者发表上述讲话前在演讲中表示，短期内货币政策仍处于有利位置，可以应对由战争引发的长期供应冲击的威胁。 他表示，如果能源供应中断很快缓解，这场冲突带来的影响可能会在今年部分逆转。但如果危机持续时间更长，影响可能会更加严重。 “这场冲突还可能造成一次重大供应冲击，产生显著影响，在推 高通 胀——通过中间成本和大宗商品价格飙升——的同时抑制经济活动，”威廉姆斯说。 威廉姆斯表示，尽管基础通胀在朝着“正确方向”发展，但这场战争对物价造成的上行压力，已经开始出现在能源以外的商品和服务上。 “高企的能源价格不仅体现在燃料成本上升，还通过机票、食品杂货、化肥和其他消费品价格上涨的形式产生了传导成本。” 不过，他补充说，“当前货币政策立场仍处于有利位置，能够平衡我们实现充分就业和价格稳定目标所面临的风险。” 几位美联储官员已暗示，在4月28日至4月29日于华盛顿举行会议时，他们倾向于维持利率不变。 威廉姆斯表示，他仍预计美国经济今年将增长2%至2.5%，失业率应会维持在4.25%至4.5%之间。但劳动力市场存在“相互矛盾的信号”，因为硬数据表明前景稳定，而软数据——例如纽约联储的消费者预期调查——则显示就业市场将继续逐步走弱。 威廉姆斯预计，整体通胀率今年年底将在2.75%至3%，然后在2027年回落至2%的目标水平。 威廉姆斯还提到新兴AI技术对银行体系及其他企业带来的网络安全风险。他对记者表示，政策制定者的重点在于确保“我们的网络安全防御持续有效”。 他指出，Anthropic的工具及其他最新进展表明，人工智能识别并可能利用网络安全系统漏洞的能力“发展速度远超许多人预期”。 “这加剧了对网络安全的关切，不仅在银行体系，也在我们更广泛的经济乃至全球经济层面，”他说，称该议题对央行而言已变得“至关重要”。 责任编辑：何云

The war with Iran has been the dominant storyline in the oil markets this year. Iran has attacked oil infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic. These developments have fueled a sharp rise in oil prices. While the war has disrupted seaborne oil shipments from the Persian Gulf, U.S. oil exports are at record highs. They'll likely remain elevated even after the war, as more countries seek to diversify their energy supplies to prevent future disruptions . That should benefit leading North American pipeline companies. Here are three energy companies with irreplaceable infrastructure crucial to fueling the global economy. Image source: Getty Images.

专题：聚焦美股2026年第一季度财报 嘉信理财第一季度日均交易量创下历史新高 简要摘要 受客户交易活跃度提升与金融市场波动推动，嘉信理财第一季度净利润升至 24.8 亿美元。 受客户大量交易及金融市场波动提振，嘉信理财季度利润大涨 30%。 这家经纪巨头周四同时宣布，将很快允许客户在其平台上交易比特币与以太坊，成为最新一家迎合个人投资者对数字资产偏好的传统金融巨头。 嘉信理财第一季度净利润总计 24.8 亿美元 ，高于去年同期的 19.1 亿美元。剔除收购成本等一次性项目后，公司当期每股收益 1.43 美元，高于路孚特调查分析师预期的 1.40 美元。 公司表示，营收增长 16%，达到创纪录的 65 亿美元 ，部分得益于交易收入大涨 20%。净利息收入（即嘉信理财从贷款与证券收益中减去支付给储户利息后的差额）增长 16%。客户总资产攀升 19%，达到 11.8 万亿美元。 嘉信理财的客户交易活跃度创下新高。公司称，第一季度日均交易量升至 990 万笔 ，刷新历史纪录。 “我们的交易者对地缘政治、以及潜在的经济形势感到更加不确定。” 嘉信理财首席执行官里克・沃斯特周四在分析师电话会议上表示，并称客户正采取更小的持仓头寸，持有时间也更短。 尽管如此，客户融资融券余额（即客户向嘉信理财借入资金购买证券的金额）较 2025 年第四季度增长 13%。 整个华尔街的交易部门本季度业绩亮眼，投资者纷纷抓住油价飙升与伊朗冲突引发的市场波动进行获利操作。美国六大银行整体交易收入同比增长 17%，至 450 亿美元 —— 即便标普 500 指数创下近四年来最差季度表现。 沃斯特表示，嘉信理财将在未来几周内推出 现货加密货币交易 服务。 该公司还将追随其他金融机构的浪潮，为投资者推出人工智能工具。未来数月内，嘉信理财将上线可分析客户投资组合并解答常规问题的 AI 功能。 嘉信理财股价在午间交易中下跌5.5%。本周早些时候，监管机构拟废除一项实施数十年的规定 —— 要求 “典型日内交易者” 在融资融券账户中至少保留 2.5 万美元权益，该消息曾提振该股。取消这一要求可能会鼓励小额投资者更积极地参与市场交易。 责任编辑：郭明煜

kontekbrothers/iStock via Getty Images In January, I downgraded 3PL provider Radiant Logistics ( RLGT ) from "B uy" to "S ell." Since then, the stock has surged 21.9%, and so you can view this as a horrible "S ell" call from my side. When stocks move so strongly against my rating, it is not a reason for me to ignore things but to carefully look at what I may have missed. In this report, I will do that and update my price target for Radiant Logistics. Radiant Logistics Earnings Decline But Margins Remain Stable Radiant Logistics In the second quarter of FY26, revenues decreased 12.3% to $232.1 million, missing analyst estimates by $3.3 million. Operating income declined 14.2% to $7.5 million. Those are seemingly not impressive results, but they are also not horrible. We note that operating expenses declined more or less in line with revenues, with the cost of transportation, SG&A, and depreciation declining by 16.2%, 19.9%, and 29.2%, respectively, offset by higher personnel costs and operating partner commissions. As a result, operating margins were relatively stable at 3.22% compared to 3.3% a year ago. That is definitely a strong sign. In a depressed market, 3PL providers typically see margins of 1%-3%, and that is where Radiant Logistics is sitting right now. We also note that Radiant Logistics had non-recurring emergency air charter revenues in the comparable period last year. If we adjust for that, we get a better view of the recurring performance. Adjusted EBITDA grew from $6.1 million to $11.8 million, and that actually shows that the company did extremely well on its recurring business. The Mixed Picture From Middle East Disruptions With capacity tightening due to the Middle East reducing vessels and airplanes in operation, the capacity for shipping has tightened further, amplified by rerouting of ships and airplanes. Combined with higher oil prices, this leads to higher freight rates and a more complex logistics chain to navigate. That provides opportunitie...
