Angela Weiss | AFP | Getty Images A 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran triggered a relief rally across risk assets, sending stocks higher and oil tumbling, while persistent demand for gold and Treasurys pointed to a market still hedging against uncertainty. U.S. President Donald Trump said he had agreed to suspend planned attacks on Iranian infrastructure for two weeks, subject to Iran agreeing to a "COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz." Stocks surged across regions, with Asian benchmarks and U.S. futures climbing, as investors seized on the announcement as a potential turning point in a conflict that has rattled markets for weeks. South Korea's Kospi surged over 5%, while the small-cap Kosdaq was up 3.4%. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 4%, while the Topix was 3.2% higher. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 2.7%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was up more than 2%, while mainland China's CSI 300 rose 2.15%.

S&P 500 futures added 2.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 2.3%. Bitcoin jumped more 2% to $71,508. Safe havens, which would typically sell-off in a de-escalation, also found support. Spot gold rose 2.2% to $4,803.83 per ounce, while gold futures added over 3% to $4,835.90. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a post on X said that Tehran will stop its " defensive operations ," adding that safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz was "possible" for the next two weeks in coordination with the country's armed forces.

China is wasting renewable power at an alarming rate, approaching limits that the government had relaxed only two years ago to accelerate solar and wind usage. The amount of solar power generated without being delivered to customers rose to 9.2% in January and February, from 6.1% in the same period last year, according to the National New Energy Consumption Monitoring and Early Warning Center. For wind, curtailments rose to 8.5%, from 6.2%. Those rates are pushing up against the ceiling raised by the government in 2024 — a clear signal that the grid is struggling to absorb all the extra power from the rapid growth in renewables. Two years ago, the authorities allowed curtailments to rise to 10% from 5% for energy-rich regions, enabling record-breaking installations through 2024 and 2025. But persistent grid congestion and an oversupply of renewable power during off-peak hours has made the curtailment rate an increasingly urgent issue , threatening the financial viability of projects. Large renewables hubs in sparsely populated inland regions like Tibet and Gansu, which rely on power lines stretching thousands of kilometers to China’s eastern megacities, face the worst curtailment rates. There are seasonal factors behind the drop off in renewables utilization early in the year, according to Guosheng Securities Inc. It’s often windier in winter, while the daily window for solar generation is narrower. There’s also less industrial demand for electricity over the Lunar New Year holiday. The situation is particularly concerning for solar power, which has already seen weaker installation growth this year. The slowdown could mark a turning point for the industry. The top solar lobby forecasts annual installations could fall to as low as 180 gigawatts, from the record 315 gigawatts delivered in 2025. China has two levers to pull to keep the clean energy boom on track. It needs to keep spending more to expand and upgrade the grid, which the government has recognized as a pri...
