美联储会议纪要：许多官员称，（若）通胀长期偏高会要求加息。 许多与会者认为，在油价持续上涨的情况下，通胀在高位停留的时间可能长于预期，这可能要求加息。 某些官员认为，在利率路径上出现“双向”措辞的“可能性很高”。 越来越多的政策制定者认为，有“充分理由”对未来的利率决策采取“双向”描述。 大部分官员说，战争可能会冲击到就业，保证降息。 多数与会者认为，随着中东局势的发展，风险已经增加。 大多数与会者担心，长期的冲突可能导致劳动力市场进一步疲软，而这可能需要额外的降息。 大多数与会者表示，现在了解中东局势将如何影响美国经济还为时过早。 几位与会者将其对降息时机的评估进一步推后。 许多与会者判定，如果通胀如预期般下降，下调利率可能会变得合适。 几乎所有与会者都支持在3月会议上不降息（理事米兰是个例外）。 这些与会者普遍认为目前的政策利率处于中性利率的合理水平之内。 绝大多数与会者认为通胀的上行风险和就业的下行风险均处于高位。 绝大多数与会者指出，向2%通胀目标迈进的进展可能慢于预期，并认为通胀持续高于目标的风险更高。 美联储工作人员的经济展望预计，经济活动将不如1月会议时的展望那样强劲。 美联储工作人员在模型中仅计入了冲突导致的股价下跌和原油价格上涨对经济活动产生的“较小影响”。

越来越多的美联储官员担忧伊朗战争可能进一步推高美国通胀，并希望在3月会议结束后明确表态：美联储可能需要考虑上调利率。 当地时间周三，美联储公布了3月17日至18日FOMC会议的纪要显示，政策制定者们就伊朗战争爆发后美国经济的截然不同走势及其可能引发的政策应对展开了激烈讨论。 多数官员担忧，旷日持久的战争可能冲击劳动力市场，届时或需降低利率。与此同时，许多政策制定者强调了通胀面临的上行风险，这最终可能使加息成为必要之举。后一派官员的立场似乎愈发强硬，推动同僚考虑在FOMC会后的声明中加入相关措辞，提出在特定条件下加息的可能。 会议纪要称，部分与会者认为，FOMC会后声明应以双向描述的方式呈现委员会未来的利率决策，以反映以下可能性：若通胀持续高于目标水平，上调联邦基金利率目标区间或许是适宜之举。 美联储1月份会议纪要中也出现了类似的观点，但支持这一观点的人数在3月有所增加。在美联储所谓的“计数词汇”中，“一些”指的是比1月份使用的“几个”更多的官员数量。 呼应上述担忧，纪要还指出，绝大多数美联储官员认为，通胀回归美联储2%目标的进程可能比预期更为漫长。 本次会议上，美联储官员们将基准政策利率维持在3.5%至3.75%的区间不变。 伊朗战争冲击 美联储此次3月会议召开时，距中东战争引发全球能源成本飙升、通胀承压、经济增长受威胁仅约三周。此后，已有多位美联储政策制定者释放信号，表示希望在评估战争影响期间按兵不动、维持利率稳定。 总体而言，美联储政策制定者对伊朗战争的回应，体现在对双重使命两端的双重忧虑。 本周，特朗普宣布与伊朗达成停火协议，并计划本周末在巴基斯坦举行直接会谈，这标志着他此前威胁要对伊朗发动大规模破坏的言论出现了戏剧性的转变。然而，该地区零星的战斗，以及伊朗在不到一天后就声称该协议已被违反，都暴露了这场持续六周、引发全球能源危机的战争所达成的停火协议的脆弱性。 会议纪要称，绝大多数与会者判断，通胀上行风险与就业下行风险均已升高；多数与会者指出，中东局势的发展进一步加剧了上述风险。 多数官员预计失业率将基本保持稳定，但大多数人认同劳动力市场的风险偏向下行。纪要称，尤其值得注意的是，许多与会者警告，在当前净新增就业岗位增速低迷的背景下，劳动力市场看似容易受到不利冲击的影响。 与此同时，政策制定者指出，中东冲突若持续拖延，可能导致能源价格更为持续地上涨，进而推升核心...

Federal Reserve officials wrestled with starkly differing scenarios for the US economy following the outbreak of the Iran war, including one that called for interest-rate cuts and another that would require raising rates. Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee ’s March 17-18 meeting, released Wednesday in Washington, showed most officials worried the war could hurt the labor market and warrant lower interest rates. At the same time, many policymakers highlighted the risk to inflation that might ultimately warrant rate increases. The record of the meeting also showed that a growing number of officials urged their colleagues to consider language in the committee’s statement raising the scenario of hiking interest rates under certain conditions. “Some participants judged that there was a strong case for a two-sided description of the committee’s future interest-rate decisions in the post-meeting statement, reflecting the possibility that upward adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate could be appropriate if inflation were to remain at above-target levels,” the minutes said. At the meeting, officials held the Fed’s benchmark policy rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75% at that gathering. The gathering occurred almost three weeks after war in the Middle East caused global energy costs to begin surging, putting upward pressure on inflation but also threatening to dampen economic growth. Several policymakers have since signaled a desire to hold rates steady as they gauge the war’s fallout. Overall, policymakers reacted to the war by expressing concerns about both sides of their mandate. “The vast majority of participants judged that upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment were elevated, and the majority of participants noted that these risks had increased with developments in the Middle East,” the minutes said. In projections released after the meeting, policymakers signaled an expectation for one interest-rate cut in 2026, unchanged ...

Trader Makes $23 Million In One Day With Massive S&P Call Purchase Hours Before Ceasefire A trader who made a large bet on a stocks rocketing in the coming weeks is up about $23 million in paper profit today, according to Bloomberg. The unknown trader spent $12 million premium on 6800 lots of 6950 S&P 500 Index Options (SPX) calls for May 8 expiry, when the index was at 6556.21; the trade was executed around 10:20 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, just hours before Trump's announcement of a 2-week ceasefire which sent stocks soaring. The trade was an “example of upside chasing on hopes of an imminent peace deal”, said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivatives intelligence, in an email Tuesday. Following the ceasefire deal last night, stocks surged, with the long SPX 6950 position now trading at $50, Bloomberg pricing data indicates. That makes the position worth $35 million as of noon on April 8, with the S&P 500 at 6773, or a $23 million profit net of the premium paid. Tyler Durden Wed, 04/08/2026 - 14:00

Technology stocks were a boon for investors in recent years thanks to the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI). But Wall Street's appetite for the sector ebbed in 2026, as concerns arose that artificial intelligence would displace many software companies. This triggered a sell-off among software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks, leading to share price declines for several successful companies. For long-term investors, these dramatic price drops created an opportunity to acquire shares at attractive valuations. Two SaaS companies to consider investing in are ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) and Workiva (NYSE: WK) . Both were swept up in Wall Street's AI panic, and once those fears subside, these stocks could deliver handsome returns. Here's a deeper look into these businesses. Continue reading

AI agents in retail investing People do not like to lose money on stocks. Sometimes a stock goes down, and people who own it sell it to avoid losing more money, so it goes down more. This behavior is to some extent predictable, so there are circumstances in which you might think “if this stock goes below $50, it will probably keep going down to $45.” You might think that as a pure matter of investor psychology: “If the stock goes below $50, a lot of people who bought it at $50 will have losses and panic and hit the ‘sell’ button, driving it down more.” You might have a slightly different theory. Because people do not like to lose money on stocks, and are not monitoring their stocks constantly, they might use stop-loss orders , where they tell their broker “if this stock goes below $50, sell it immediately.” Intuitively, people who do this are more likely to use round numbers like $50 than, like, “if this stock goes below $51.37, sell it,” so there is some clustering of stop-loss orders; there are more of them at some numbers than at others. And so if you are trying to predict market behavior, you might think “if this stock goes below $50, a lot of people will automatically sell it, and it will go down to $45.” None of this is investing or technical-analysis advice, but a certain amount of “stop hunting” probably goes on in financial markets: If you know or suspect that a lot of people have stop-loss orders to sell if a stock falls to $50, you might try to short the stock until it hits $50, expecting to trigger the stops and buy it back at $45. In a sense, the previous two paragraphs express the same idea: They both say “people have irrational biases that make them anchor on round numbers and fear losses, so if the stock falls to $50 there will be further irrational selling driving it down to $45.” The difference is the mechanism: In the first paragraph, the stock hits $50 and then people decide to sell; in the second paragraph, people plan ahead to sell if the stock...

We can say this for Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY) -- the Canadian marijuana company is a hardy survivor. Along with the rest of its ever-struggling industry, it's operated with frequent bottom-line losses for years, and is still standing. March was another month for the company to endure. It was bookended by the company's announcement of a new acquisition and an analyst's price target cut, unfortunately neither development helped support the stock price. Over the course of the month, Tilray's U.S.-listed shares declined by almost 18%. Since the early 2020s, Tilray has made a stab at diversification by pushing into a different intoxicant. It's built a sizable alcohol portfolio by acquiring American craft breweries. Continue reading

PM acknowleges it was ‘early days’ in restoring full shipping traffic to the strait as key maritime route reportedly closed again The UK has a “job” to help reopen the strait of Hormuz, Keir Starmer has said, as Iranian reports said the key shipping route was closed again just hours after a supposed ceasefire. The prime minister met UK and local personnel at an airbase in Taif, Saudi Arabia, at the start of what is expected to be a wider trip to Gulf allies, one billed as a mirror to his efforts to pull together a plan for how a ceasefire might operate in Ukraine.

美国白宫新闻秘书莱维特8日在记者会上说，伊朗最初提出的10点建议不可接受、已被抛弃。伊朗随后提出的一个“更合理、更简明”的方案可作为美伊谈判基础。莱维特说，美国总统特朗普及其团队认为，伊朗提出的这一新方案可作为谈判的可行基础，并能够与美方的15点方案“相一致”。她说，特朗普要求伊朗停止进行铀浓缩活动的“红线”并没有改变，所谓特朗普会接受伊朗“愿望清单”式协议的说法“完全是荒谬的”。(新华社)

Amazon (AMZN) Climbs Prime Video Price Rises, Analysts Bullish on 2026 Revenue Watcher Guru

Shares of ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) were soaring today as stocks jumped on news of a ceasefire in Iran. ASML is the world's leading maker of lithography equipment to manufacture semiconductors, and the only maker of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines. Due to that position, it earned a substantial tailwind from the broader jump in tech stocks as the ceasefire takes a significant step toward removing a major threat to the global economy. ASML posted outsize gains today largely because of its exposure to the Asian market, where countries like Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan are heavily reliant on oil and gas coming out of the Strait of Hormuz.
