为应对中东供应的缺失，炼油厂正在抢购来自其他地区的原油，并为此支付越来越高的溢价，伊朗战争引发全球市场剧烈震荡的迹象也随之愈发明显。在布伦特原油和西德克萨斯中质油等知名的原油期货市场之外，还有数百种较少为人知的原油，其价格通常只比国际基准高出或低出1至2美元。但如今，这些价差正迅速扩大至每桶10美元或以上的溢价，因为炼油厂——尤其是亚洲的炼油厂——正急于确保替代供应。现货原油溢价之所以重要，是因为它们反映了供需平衡，影响炼油厂的采购决策，并推动贸易流向。（新浪财经）

Lincoln National Corp. is seeking a reinsurance deal that would shift billions of dollars of life insurance reserves off its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter. The firm, which markets itself as Lincoln Financial Group, is in talks with peers to backstop roughly $5 billion of life policies, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. These could include so-called universal life with secondary guarantee policies, some of the people said. Such policies prevent coverage from lapsing if certain conditions are met, regardless of their value. Reinsurance deals allow carriers to shift part of their reserves off their balance sheets, freeing up capital to support sales expansion amid strong demand for annuities and life insurance products. “Lincoln is focused on improving the free-cash-flow profile” of its life business, including with risk transfers, the Radnor, Pennsylvania-based firm said in an emailed statement. “We are always open to exploring these options, but to clarify, we are not committed to any specific transaction.” Books of policies with secondary guarantees are attractive to policyholders but can be costly for insurers to keep on their balance sheets. In 2023, Lincoln reinsured a $28 billion book with Fortitude Re that included similar policies, along with fixed annuities and other life insurance products with long-term-care riders. These allow customers to access part of their policies to cover care costs as they age. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co . is also seeking to offload $5 billion of products with secondary guarantees through reinsurance. Last year, Equitable Holdings Inc. transferred $32 billion of reserves related to a diversified book of life insurance policies to Reinsurance Group of America , and MetLife Inc. reinsured $10 billion of variable annuities and rider reserves to Talcott Financial Group .

Hecla Mining Company HL is leveraging its strong cash generation and improving balance sheet to enhance shareholder returns, reinforcing its profile as a disciplined, cash-focused silver producer. In 2025, the company generated robust operating cash flows of approximately $563 million. Hecla’s commitment to shareholder returns is reflected in its consistent dividend policy. In the fourth quarter of 2025, HL paid a dividend of $2.7 million, up 1.7% year over year. The company paid a dividend of $10.3 million in 2025. This measured distribution strategy allows Hecla Mining to reward shareholders without compromising its ability to invest in future growth. The company ended 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $242 million and a significantly improved balance sheet. Its net debt declined to about $34 million, bringing the net leverage ratio down to 0.1x from 1.6x in the prior year. This sharp deleveraging highlights strong financial discipline and positions Hecla Mining to navigate commodity price volatility while sustaining returns. Free cash flow rose to approximately $310 million in 2025, marking a substantial increase from 2024 and highlighting the company’s ability to generate excess cash even after capital investments. With plans to increase exploration and pre-development spending to around $55 million in 2026, Hecla Mining is balancing reinvestment with shareholder distributions. With solid liquidity, low leverage and steady cash generation, the company appears well-positioned to maintain and potentially grow shareholder rewards while funding organic growth initiatives. HL’s Peer Performance In 2025, Pan American Silver Corp. PAAS generated net cash of $1.33 billion from operating activities. Pan American Silver’s free cash flow totaled $1.15 billion. Pan American Silver’s dividends and share repurchase totaled $221 million in 2025. During the same period, the company used $82.7 million for distributing dividends and repurchased shares worth $19...

Gold’s ( XAUUSD:CUR ) recent price retreat is being met by a powerful long-term tailwind as the widening U.S. fiscal deficit from “an already critical level” is poised to drive sustained demand for the precious metal, according to Ole S. Hansen, head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank. The strategist noted that investors are increasingly seeking protection against “debt sustainability risks” as America’s balance sheet deteriorates. Equity markets ( SP500 ), ( COMP:IND ), ( DJI ) have slumped while bond yields ( US10Y ), ( US2Y ), ( US30Y ) surged amid mounting inflation concerns following what Hansen described as potentially “the largest disruption to global fuel supply on record.” Iran is delivering a broad retaliatory shock through energy markets in response to escalating tensions, with “global spillover effects widening,” he said, as the country leverages its influence over oil flows given its limited conventional military capacity. U.S. 2-year Treasury yields ( US2Y ) have climbed above the Fed funds rate for the first time in three years, which the strategist said signals “a rising risk that the next policy move could be a hike rather than a cut.” Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) has faced pressure from these higher yields and “shifting rate expectations,” according to Hansen. Despite the near-term headwinds, the deteriorating fiscal picture remains a critical pillar of support for gold prices ( XAUUSD:CUR ), with Hansen flagging stagflation as a growing concern. The combination of persistent inflation, slowing growth, and mounting government debt creates conditions that historically favor hard assets, he noted, suggesting the metal’s long-term investment case remains intact even as short-term volatility persists.

China and Russia are delaying fertilizer shipments to Nigeria as the Iran war shakes up the global supply chain for the crucial crop nutrients. Shipments of phosphorus fertilizers and ammonium sulphate from China and potash from Russia are expected to be significantly delayed, according to Ayo Sotinrin, chief executive officer of the state-owned Agriculture Bank of Nigeria. China and Russia, two of the world’s top fertilizer exporters, have informed the government of the delays, he said Read More: How Iran War Is Disrupting the Food Supply Chain The war, which erupted at the end of February, has all but shut down transits through the Strait of Hormuz, choking off both supplies of the nutrients and also natural gas, a key feedstock in the manufacturing of fertilizers. That’s sent prices soaring and left farmers rushing to secure a portion of the tightening supplies. China has recently moved to restrict exports of some products to ensure supply and price stability for its own farmers.

Sotinrin is part of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s delegation during his state visit to the UK. Read More: Iran War Puts Plastics, Fertilizers in Line of Fire: Fault Lines

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images Shares of The Timken Company ( TKR ) have seen some momentum in recent times, aided by a greater focus on higher-margin activities. This momentum and a bolt-on deal instill some confidence for 2026, as shares look reasonably valued despite a re-rating having taken place in recent times. A strong dividend track record, net buybacks, and modest growth create a balanced picture, all while valuations look quite reasonable. However, shares have seen some momentum recently, which still results in reasonable valuations, as I am hoping for a slight pullback to levels in the $80s to get involved in what appears to be a steady and decent operator. Other and higher conviction ideas, including the areas of technology and industrial applications, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . Adding Lubrication The Timken Company has reached a deal to acquire North Carolina-based Bijur Delimon. This is a privately held designer and manufacturer of lubrication systems, active in several growth verticals. Few details on its contribution have been released, apart from Bijur having a rich corporate heritage, being founded back in 1872, with the business active across major regions in the world. The acquired activities generate some $60 million in annual sales. That suggests about a 1.3% revenue contribution, making this a bolt-on deal, as no other financial details have been announced on the purchase. A Modest Contribution The deal follows the release of the annual results, as reported in February. Full-year sales of $4.58 billion were virtually unchanged from the year before, up only 0.2%, although that fourth-quarter growth topped 3%. This growth acceleration was largely driven by currency tailwinds, with organic growth reported at just over a percent. The business posts these results across two divisions. Engineered bearings make up about two-thirds of sales, complemented by an industrial motion business, both generating EBITDA margins ne...

winhorse Bank of America Securities is warning that the recent stumble in financial stocks ( XLF ) may be saying more about the credit cycle than the sector as a whole, according to a note released earlier this week. Financials have lagged the broader market ( SP500 ) ( SPY ) by nine percentage points since January, led lower by alternative asset managers amid stress in the private credit space. However, BofA equity strategists led by Savita Subramanian recommend investors distinguish between different types of financial institutions when positioning portfolios. “Not all Financials are created equal,” the strategists wrote in a research note dated March 20, 2026. The firm remains bullish on Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs), which comprise roughly 30% of the sector. These institutions benefit from manageable private credit exposure, with business credit and private equity making up about 8% of total loans compared to 5% at regional banks ( KRE ) ( DPST ) ( IAT ). Additionally, capital requirements and leverage at GSIBs are at historically low levels, while disclosure requirements remain more stringent than less-regulated peers. The potential risk lies in lending extended during the period from 2017 to 2021, when “ZIRP forever” — or zero interest rate policy in perpetuity — was the prevailing market consensus. Projects financed during that era may not prove viable at current interest rates, BofA cautioned. Value-oriented sectors including regulated banks, energy ( XLE ) and metals and mining ( XME ) were largely denied capital in the years following the Global Financial Crisis. These areas may be better positioned to weather a higher-rate environment, the strategists said. Meanwhile, the analysis suggests investors should avoid market segments that benefited most from the low-rate era and consistent positive liquidity surprises. U.S. GSIBs: Bank of America ( BAC ), BNY ( BK ), Citigroup ( C ), Goldman Sachs ( GS ), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ), Morgan Stanley ( M...

In this article WBD PSKY Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav 's potential payout of more than $800 million from the Paramount Skydance deal highlights an obscure tax rule originally designed to limit CEO pay. According to SEC filings, Zaslav could collect hundreds of millions of dollars in severance and other stock awards and payments following Paramount's acquisition of WBD . The payments include about $500 million in share awards, about $115 million in vested stock awards and $34 million in cash, according to the filings. The deal also includes up to $335 million in potential payments to Zaslav for what's known as the "golden parachute" excise tax. The tax was originally created by Congress in the 1980s to limit what many considered to be outsized payouts to chief executives upon a change of control or sale of their companies. The tax, of 20%, kicks in when an executive's payout exceeds three times their typical base salary and target annual bonus. As part of the acquisition, Paramount agreed to pay Zaslav's excise tax if his other payments trigger the tax. The reimbursement declines over time and drops to zero if the deal closes in 2027. Paramount has said it is aiming to close the deal, pending regulatory approval, by this fall. The Paramount board said the reimbursement would be paid by Paramount, not Warner shareholders. Without the payment, known as a "gross up," the board said "Mr. Zaslav would be at a substantial disadvantage in terms of excise tax exposure relative to the previously proposed transaction with Netflix," which wouldn't have involved a golden parachute tax. Zaslav's payout from the deal is expected to be around $667 million without the tax. Management experts have said that rather than limiting pay, the golden parachute rules have instead incentivized CEOs to sell their companies and reap ever-higher rewards. The tax has also led companies, and their shareholders, to spend even more to pay th...

SoftBank ( SFTBY ) ( SFTBF ) is working to build a huge AI data center on federally owned land in Ohio that it is planning to power with about $33B worth of natural gas-fired electricity to be installed by the end of the decade. The U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE, and the U.S. Department of Commerce, or DOC, announced the public-private partnership with SoftBank and electric utility company AEP Ohio to redevelop DOE land, modernize energy infrastructure, and develop advanced computing in Southern Ohio. Under the partnership, SB Energy, a SoftBank Group company, is planning to build 10 gigawatts, or GW, of new power generation — including 9.2 GW of natural gas generation — that will connect to the local grid and provide power to a new 10 GW data center development at the Portsmouth Site in Pike County, Ohio at no cost to American families. DOE said the efforts will deliver lower electricity costs across the region, and create thousands of American jobs. "By bringing new power online and upgrading our existing infrastructure, this investment supports the AI boom and cutting-edge technologies while strengthening our energy system and helping keep costs down for the American people," said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. While the Trump administration has talked generally about SoftBank’s $33B gas project as part of a larger $550B U.S.-Japan trade deal, this is the first time plans for the AI data center have been detailed. The DOE said that SB Energy will invest $4.2B with AEP Ohio to upgrade and build new transmission lines in Southern Ohio. This grid investment, at no cost to the public, will help lower local utility rates for American families and businesses. SB Energy has committed to making excess transmission and generation capacity available to the grid, the department said. DOE noted that construction on the project is expected to begin this year. The company expects the data center, including the chips and equipment within it, to cost between $30B and $4...

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview In the US, we expect a continued expansion of global economic growth in 2026, with most major economies contributing to above-trend growth. Activity should stay robust, underpinned by strong AI-related capital expenditure, still-easy financial conditions, and a positive fiscal impulse from the "One Big Beautiful Bill". We expect the Fed to cut rates further in 2026, but above-trend growth argues for only limited additional easing. That said, the appointment of a dovish new Fed Chair could point to somewhat more room for cuts, depending on the extent to which the new Chair manages to convince the rest of the Federal Open Market Committee of their policy views. Inflation: The all items index rose 2.7 percent for the 12 months ending December, the same increase as over the 12 months ending November. The all items less food and energy index rose 2.6 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index increased 2.3 percent for the 12 months ending December. The food index increased 3.1 percent over the last year. Growth: We expect a continued expansion of global economic growth in 2026, with most major economies contributing to above-trend growth. In the US, activity should stay robust, underpinned by strong AI-related capital expenditure, still-easy financial conditions, and a positive fiscal impulse from the "One Big Beautiful Bill". Global economies may face near-term headwinds from tariffs but remain supported over the medium term due to robust private sector fundamentals, looser and expansive monetary and fiscal policy, and accelerated AI capital expenditures. Heading into 2026, we believe growth in the US faces potential drag from trade and immigration, but risks may be mitigated by policy easing, fiscal stimulus, and prospective AI investments. Economies outside the US, such as the Euro area and Japan, are also expected to remain resilient, aided by easing monetary policy, expansive fiscal stimulus, and trade. The ...

JPMorgan Activates BTC & ETH As Institutional Collateral Via Sentora Research, JPMorgan has officially bridged the gap between "Digital Gold" and "Wholesale Credit." The activation of direct BTC and ETH collateralization allows institutional giants to finally turn their dormant holdings into immediate USD liquidity without selling a single satoshi. Operating through the Kinexys (formerly Onyx) digital financing platform, the bank now allows institutional clients like hedge funds and corporate treasuries to pledge BTC and ETH for USD-denominated liquidity. Unlike previous years where only ETF-wrapped products were supported, this move enables borrowers to leverage their direct on-chain holdings without triggering the capital gains taxes associated with liquidation. The quantitative framework for these loans is defined by a rigorous risk-weighted haircut model. Under the current policy, JPMorgan applies a 30% to 50% haircut on BTC and ETH, effectively setting the maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio at 50% to 70% depending on 90-day volatility metrics. This structure is designed to buffer against the "cascade risk" inherent in crypto markets, where a 15% intraday drop could otherwise trigger systemic liquidations. By treating BTC and ETH as Tier-1 collateral, JPMorgan is effectively putting them on the same playing field as high-quality corporate bonds. Tri-Party Custody: Assets are not held on the bank’s balance sheet but are secured via qualified third-party custodians like Coinbase Custody and Anchorage Digital. This ensures that the bank facilitates the credit while the assets remain in high-security, audit-ready vaults. Atomic Settlement: By utilizing the Kinexys blockchain, JPMorgan has reduced the time to move collateral from T+2 days to under 120 seconds. This allows for real-time margin adjustments and prevents the "lag" that often causes over-collateralization in traditional banking. Tax-Efficiency: Because the institution is borrowing against the asset rather ...

An image of a Tesla humanoid robot in front of the company logo Around the World Photos via Shutterstock In the stock market, there are two fundamental types of companies. The first type constitutes classical businesses, which are appraised in the antiquated manner: by their cash flows, by real revenue, and by marginality. This is mathematics. The second type is the so-called “dream companies.” Their valuation is built not on a calculator, but on pure faith that in the future they will be able to earn a lot of money. Tesla (TSLA), unfortunately or fortunately, is not only a classical automotive company. With a price-earnings ratio that already exceeds the insane mark of 250x, and capitalization that eclipses all global automakers combined, the market tells us with extreme clarity: By purchasing Tesla shares, investors are not buying electric vehicles. They do not give a damn about cars. They are buying a lottery ticket to the world of robots. For a long time, Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, was simply a cherry on top, a pretty marketing bonus to the core business. A plaything for presentations. But the recent events of January 2026 altered everything. Elon Musk, in his characteristic radical manner, made Tesla’s bet on robotics the main strategy of the company. I, as an analyst, see in this not only hype, but rigid engineering constraints. And I see a colossal risk. Between a beautiful presentation on stage and a mass, working product, there stands not merely complex code which can be finished over the weekend. No. A concrete wall of physical laws stands there. A wall that cannot be broken by the charisma of a CEO, even if his name is Elon Musk. In this article I will analyze why the bet on 1 million robots by 2027 is a dangerous gambling game with physics, in which Tesla currently has no winning cards. Financial Gravity Before we plunge together into dreams about robots, let us look at the dry, boring numbers. Because any business boils down to one primitive abili...

narvo vexar/iStock via Getty Images Overview Of Invyvyd - Brief History Of Company Invivyd, Inc. ( IVVD ) was formerly known as Adagio Therapeutics - Adagio completed its IPO in August 2021, raising an impressive $356m via the issuance of ~20.93m shares priced at $17 per share. Adagio stock initially surged >$50 per share as the market bought into its experimental COVID therapy, ADG-20 (adintrevimab), a monoclonal antibody ("MaB"), but quickly sank in value to <$10 per share as the therapy struggled to live up to expectations. Adagio's CEO Tillman Gerngross resigned in February 2022, and the company name changed to Invivyd in September of that year. Invivyd lost its Chief Scientific Officer in March 2023, who left to pursue other opportunities, but in January 2024, the company requested Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") from the FDA for its treatment VYD222 for the pre-exposure prevention of COVID-19 in immunocompromised teens and adults, which was duly granted in March 2024. Stock, which slipped to a value of <$2 per share, briefly spiked >$4. Branded Pemgarda, Invivyd guided for full-year 2024 revenues of $150m - $200m, and in August 2024, reported that patients treated with Pemgarda showed an 84% relative risk reduction in symptomatic COVID-19 compared to placebo in a phase 3 trial. Nevertheless, the FDA denied Invivyd permission to expand the EUA for the med to include treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 for immunocompromised persons who have no alternative therapeutic options in February 2025. Pemgarda did not meet management's expectations revenue wise in 2024, earning $25.4m altogether, and in August last year, management reported Q2 2025 revenues of $11.8m, compared to $2.3m in the prior year quarter. The company reported a net loss of $(14.7m), or $(0.12) per share, and stock reached a new low of ~$0.5 per share. Nevertheless, Invivyd continues to push the agenda for preventative treatment of COVID using MaBs, as opposed to vaccines - an agenda that ma...
