Republican Senator from North Carolina Ted Budd said that the cost of not going into Iran could be more significant than the additional funding the Trump administration is asking for to support the war.

Despite its battle with the Pentagon, Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) may get a boost from the White House as the Trump Administration looks to give federal agencies access to its Mythos model, Bloomberg reported. Gregory Barbaccia, who is the federal Chief Information Officer at the Office of Management and Budget, told Cabinet departments that OMB is working on allowing their agencies to use Mythos, the news outlet reported , citing an internal memo. The email does not state when the agencies will get access or that they absolutely will, but it adds more information will be available “in the coming weeks.” Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said earlier this week that the company, which some investors have valued at $800B, was in discussions with the Trump administration about Mythos. “We have a narrow contracting dispute, but I don't want ​that to get in the way of the fact that we ​care deeply about national security,” Clark said at the Semafor World Economy event in Washington, referring to the aforementioned issue with the Pentagon. “Our position is the government has to know ​about this stuff … So absolutely, we're talking to them about ​Mythos, and we'll talk to them about the next models as well.” Anthropic and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha. So far, Mythos, which was originally leaked last month, has been made available to some of the biggest companies in tech. It was made available in preview to roughly 50 companies and organizations that deal with critical internet infrastructure, including Amazon ( AMZN ), Apple ( AAPL ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), and the Linux Foundation, according to previous reports. Amazon and Google are among the investors in Anthropic. Earlier this month, Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a general-purpose frontier model, which the company described as its “most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks.” “Its strength in cybersecurity is a direct result of tha...

Mohamad Faizal Bin Ramli Municipal bond ( TFI ), ( ITM ), ( MLN ), ( SHM ) investors need to maintain active credit oversight and stay ahead of potential rating downgrades, particularly in sectors affected by federal budget cuts, according to Nisha Patel, Parametric fixed income portfolio manager. In an interview with CNBC, Patel emphasized that while headline risk around deficits has dominated the news, investors must focus on the actual credit fundamentals that could lead to downgrades in vulnerable sectors. Patel identified healthcare and higher education as two areas currently facing challenges stemming from federal budget reductions. “Where the challenge is, and I think this is where the active credit oversight really matters, is making sure you’re staying ahead of any downgrades that can possibly take place in these sectors,” she said. The distinction between deficit headlines and real credit deterioration, she noted, is critical for investors navigating the current environment. Despite these sector-specific concerns, Patel maintained that municipal bonds remain a high-quality asset class with historically low default rates compared to the taxable corporate market. She pointed to a silver lining for investors: with Tax Day recently passed, current tax-free yields offer an attractive entry point into munis on a tax-equivalent basis. For portfolio positioning, Patel recommended maintaining a bias toward higher-quality investment-grade municipal bonds. She cautioned that with more than 80,000 different issuers in the muni market, investors cannot make blanket statements about general obligation versus revenue bonds. “The main message here, stay higher quality; absolute yields are high,” she said, adding that the high-yield municipal market does not present a compelling opportunity compared to investment-grade offerings. When asked about passive versus active investment approaches, Patel highlighted a significant industry trend toward separately managed accounts r...

Piper Sandler’s price target cut to $215 is another sign of the “SaaS‑pocalypse” reset hitting software, but in Salesforce’s case, the downgrade lands against 10%‑plus revenue growth, a $72 billion backlog, rising EPS, and a valuation that’s now below the sector average, which suggests the market is repricing the stock rather than abandoning the business model.

cemagraphics A notable shift is underway in U.S. equity markets as investor positioning stabilizes and trading activity broadens, according to Citadel’s head of equity and equity derivatives strategy, Scott Rubner. After a period marked by elevated volatility and defensive positioning, recent data suggests a more constructive backdrop is beginning to take shape. Rubner highlights that volatility has eased while capital flows are re-engaging, signaling renewed confidence among market participants. As earnings season gains momentum, investor focus is increasingly turning back to company-specific fundamentals, fostering a more selective, stock-driven environment. At the same time, a favorable supply-demand dynamic is developing. Institutional investors are adding risk exposure, systematic strategies are re-leveraging, and retail participation is picking up following the conclusion of tax season. Corporations have also re-entered the market through share buybacks, further supporting demand for equities. Options market activity reinforces this shift. Institutional flows have turned decisively more constructive, with recent sessions tracking toward the strongest weekly net buying skew since October 2024. Notably, investors are extending positioning further along the curve, with increased demand for upside exposure in June and September expiries—particularly in single stocks—marking a move away from the short-term, tactical trading that dominated in March.

Ildo Frazao/iStock via Getty Images The Invesco S&P Pure Value ETF ( RPV ) offers investors a portfolio with very low valuations, thanks to an investment approach that favors companies with strong value profiles. This is a characteristic of its investment design that is exacerbated at this moment, given the fund’s increased exposure to cyclical and value areas like energy, basic materials, and industrials compared to the picture in my previous review of this fund in early 2025. Of course, RPV’s valuation gives it some appeal at this present time, given current uncertainties on the macro front. The flip side is a long-term track record that is not among the most compelling alternatives from a total-return perspective. With that in mind, the following sections will break down the fund’s core holdings and compare its sector positioning, valuation, and performance with the S&P 500 and other value ETFs. ETF Description and Highlights RPV provides targeted exposure to U.S. companies with the strongest value characteristics within the S&P 500 universe. The fund follows a rules-based methodology, tracking the S&P 500 Pure Value Index. As the first step, companies are assigned a value score, which incorporates metrics such as book-to-price, earnings-to-price, and sales-to-price ratios, and also a growth score, based on measures like historical sales and earnings growth, and 1-year price performance. Stocks are then ranked based on the relative balance between these scores, with only those exhibiting the strongest value bias included in the final index, as the index filters out stocks that exhibit a blended style. Once selected, stocks are weighted according to the strength of their value characteristics, resulting in higher allocations to stocks trading at lower valuations on a relative basis. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced annually to reflect current companies’ financials and market conditions. As of April 2, 2026, RPV had $1.7 billion in assets under management,...

格隆汇4月17日｜欧洲央行管委内格尔表示，在本月利率决议前就未来利率路径释放明确信号将是一个错误。他称，政策制定者目前尚无足够信息判断能源成本飙升是否会令通胀长期维持高位，而这一结果将决定是否需要政策回应。“我们需要保持选择空间，现在就断言利率会朝某个方向变化是不合适的，我还不准备提前作出承诺。”据知情人士透露，欧洲央行内部倾向于在本次会议上维持利率不变，但在当前快速变化的环境下，不排除加息可能。内格尔表示，德国经济年初表现尚可，但受伊朗战争影响动能转弱，预计今年经济增速将较此前预测低0.3个百分点。内格尔还警告投资者情绪过于乐观。“当前市场相对乐观，因为普遍假设中东将实现持久和平、能源价格将回落，”他说，“央行的职责是确保一旦这一情形未能实现，不会对金融稳定产生外溢影响。”
