The first three months of the year typically account for 10% to 16% of annual capital-bond issuance Chinese commercial banks resumed issuing capital-replenishment bonds in April after an unusual first-quarter drought, setting the stage for a potential record month of debt sales. The revival in the issuance of tier-2 capital and perpetual bonds — key instruments for lenders to strengthen their balance sheets — comes as banks work through a backlog of deals delayed by slow regulatory approvals and reduced near-term funding pressure.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) was down 4% in early trading on Thursday after the largest U.S. defense contractor and maker of fighter jets, missile systems, and military spacecraft reported dour results, missing Wall Street expectations for both revenue and earnings. Revenue was essentially flat at $17.96B in the first quarter, below analysts’ consensus estimate of $18.25B, as growth in Missiles and Fire Control and Space helped offset weaker sales in Aeronautics and Rotary and Mission Systems. Adjusted earnings came in at $6.44 a share, below Wall Street expectations, pressured by unfavorable profit adjustments on the F-16 and C-130 programs as well as weaker margins in the Space unit. Net profit also declined from a year earlier as operating performance softened across key segments. Lockheed Martin reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, maintaining sales guidance of $77.5B to $80B and adjusted earnings per share of $29.35 to $30.25, while keeping free cash flow guidance at $6.5B to $6.8B. The share price decline has shifted investor focus to ETFs with significant exposure to the defense major, with 24 funds listing the stock among their top 15 holdings.

The NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in Pittsburgh on Thursday night and run through the weekend. The high-profile fan event will give both sports betting apps and prediction markets a fresh burst of business. Sportsbooks should see a seasonal bump from draft props and first-round markets, while prediction markets are emerging as a broader, more accessible alternative that can capture draft interest in states where traditional betting is limited. Notably, both Kalshi ( KALSHI ) and Polymarket ( POLYMARKET ) are offering significantly more NFL draft contracts than a year ago. Kalshi's ( KALSHI ) draft page shows draft markets split across multiple categories, including draft category, matchups, and over/under formats, while Polymarket ( POLYMARKET ) lists 159 live draft markets and 20 live NFL draft markets. Analysts have noted that the NFL Draft sets up similarly to the recent Masters golf tournament, which saw unexpectedly heavy trading volume due to the changing leaderboard. The expectation is the player and pick trades could create the same dynamic that steers volume toward prediction markets. Sports betting volume saw a slump in February, but a strong rebound in March tied to increased interest in the NCAA basketball tournament. Following an uneven year for FanDuel ( FLUT ), DraftKings ( DKNG ), and BetMGM ( MGM ) ( GMVHF ), the World Cup in June and July is anticipated to give the industry a major boost against a soft comparable to a year ago. Of note, the Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF ( BETZ ) is down 10% on a year-to-date basis.
