travelview/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Carsten Brzeski, Global Head of Macro Rates have been kept on hold, but the European Central Bank has clearly opted for a hawkish pivot at today's meeting Comments by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde at the press conference gave today’s meeting a more hawkish tilt. Even if a rate hike is not imminent, the change in tone and language acknowledges more uncertainty and is meant to demonstrate the ECB’s willingness to act, if need be. The fact that the well-known ‘monitor closely’ or ‘closely monitoring’ is back is a clear signal that the ECB has shifted to higher alert. In the past, the term ‘monitor closely’ had always been a sign of high alertness; the time it was used was during the short-lived banking tensions in March 2023 and before in 2022. In the distant past, ‘monitor closely’ was followed by ‘vigilance’ in the run-up to rate hikes. Following the logic of institutional ECB language, today’s ‘closely monitoring’ combined with Lagarde’s statement that risks to the inflation outlook were tilted to the upside are both clear signals of increased alertness. New round of forecasts Just for the record – though clearly not really relevant for future policy decisions despite a later cut-off date than usual (March 11) – the latest round of ECB staff projections has GDP growth coming in at 0.9% in 2026, 1.3% in 2027, and 1.4% in 2028. Inflation is expected to come in at 2.6%, 2.0% and 2.1% over the next few years. In this base case scenario, ECB staff treats the current oil price shock mainly as a one-off – and one that would hardly necessitate a monetary policy reaction. However, in two alternative scenarios ECB staff prepared, the monetary policy reaction could be different as both scenarios worsen the stagflationary impact. In the adverse scenario, the impact on the economy would be temporary and part of the inflationary impacts would unwind. Growth would be some 0.3ppt lower than the baseline in 2026 and...

Moussa81/iStock via Getty Images Teck Resources ( TECK ) owns a royalty on Barrick Mining's ( B ) Fourmile gold project that could be worth billions, a revelation that could affect the valuation of Barrick’s planned IPO of its North American business, The Globe and Mail reported Wednesday. Barrick ( B ) has not publicly disclosed the Teck ( TECK ) royalty in a project it has described as "one of the century's greatest gold discoveries." The only royalty disclosed so far on Fourmile is the 1.6% gross smelter return, which is based on revenue, not profit, held by Royal Gold ( RGLD ). According to documents reviewed by The Globe and Mail , if Fourmile is developed into a mine, Barrick ( B ) would pay Teck ( TECK ) 10% of the net profits, and the royalty rises to 15% once 6M oz of gold is produced; the royalty agreement was filed in Nevada four years before Barrick ( B ) made the discovery at Fourmile. Barrick's ( B ) planned IPO of its North American mines comprises its 61.5% stake in Nevada Gold Mines, its 60% stake in the Pueblo Viejo mine, both of which are joint ventures with Newmont ( NEM ), as well as its wholly owned Fourmile project. With Teck ( TECK ) set to earn a significant portion of the profits from Fourmile, the value to Barrick ( B ) is now expected to come in below previous estimates by analysts, potentially lowering the value of the assets to be listed in the IPO, the report said.

Wall Street equities traders are bracing for an unusually large tally of options expiring on Friday, which risks injecting even more volatility into a market that’s seen weeks of turbulence amid the raging Mideast conflict. Roughly $5.7 trillion in notional options tied to individual US stocks, indexes and exchange-traded funds are set to expire on Friday in the quarterly event that traders have dubbed the “triple-witching” — the largest March expiry in Citigroup Inc. data going back to 1996. That figure includes $4.1 trillion in index contracts, $772 billion in exchange-traded funds and $875 billion in single-stock options. The event, which forces traders to close, roll or rebalance positions, has long carried a reputation for triggering abrupt price swings as large pools of derivatives exposure suddenly vanish. This quarter’s expiration arrives at a particularly fraught moment for markets, with bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts fading as the Iran war has sparked a rally in crude prices and concerns over inflation. Hostilities continued on Thursday amid escalating attacks in the Persian Gulf on energy facilities. While the S&P 500 Index is only about 6% below its January record, the Cboe Volatility Index — a key gauge of expected equity swings — is well above its six-month average, underscoring lingering investor angst. Trading activity in options markets has surged in recent weeks, particularly in index and ETF contracts, both of which hit record notional volumes in March — about 9% above their year-to-date averages, according to Vishal Vivek , Citi’s director of equity and derivatives trading strategy. In contrast, single-stock options volumes are roughly 3% below the level, a move partly attributed to waning retail participation and worries around geopolitical risks. The scale of this week’s expiration is also notable relative to the broader market. At 8.4% of Russell 3000 Index market capitalization, it’s well above historical norms, amplifying the pot...

The dream of the metaverse may have died for now, but Meta has decided it's not completely giving up on the VR experience in Horizon Worlds, the virtual worlds service that it originally envisioned as the first step toward said metaverse. The news was announced via the Instagram account of Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth. "We have decided, just today in fact, that we will keep Horizon Worlds working in VR," said Bosworth in an AMA on the platform in response to someone who expressed disappointment at the previously announced plan to end support. He went on to clarify that only games and experiences that already support VR will continue to do so, while new games will be exclusive to mobile, and the majority of the team's development focus will be on mobile instead of VR.

ExxonMobil's (XOM +0.52%) full-year net income fell 14% to $28.84 billion, though it set a production record of 4.7 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, the highest in over 40 years. Chevron's (CVX +1.58%) net income dropped 30% to $12.30 billion, even as the Hess acquisition pushed worldwide production to a record 3,723 MBOED, up 12% year-over-year.

Figma FIG enters 2026 with a balanced setup. Enterprise standardization is widening platform adoption, and native artificial intelligence (AI) features are gaining traction across the workflow. The next leg depends on whether seat growth and cross-product adoption can translate into steady revenue as the company shifts to monetizing both subscriptions and AI credits. That transition also comes with visible margin pressure tied to AI infrastructure and hosting costs. FIG stock has suffered from challenging prospects on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. Shares have dropped 33.5% YTD, underperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s decline of 4.1%. Figma shares have underperformed broader and well-established peers, including Autodesk ADSK, Microsoft MSFT and Adobe ADBE, shares of which have dropped 15.8%, 19.5% and 29.8%, respectively, over the same time frame. Figma is facing stiff competition from Adobe across creative tools and design workflows, while Autodesk dominates professional design workflows. Microsoft’s AI endeavors across its entire product portfolio make the stock a formidable competitor against FIG.

At least two foreign-flagged fuel tankers have been tentatively booked to travel between US ports, marking the first such sailings in years after President Donald Trump temporarily waived a century-old shipping mandate in a bid to tame energy inflation. Sunoco LP has provisionally chartered the PIS Kalimantan, a Panama-flagged vessel, to load on the Gulf Coast on March 21 and 22 and sail to Jacksonville, Florida, according to a shipping report seen by Bloomberg. It’s also chartered another tanker from Norden to carry refined products between New York and Hawaii. The sailings would be among the first of their kind since Trump this week authorized foreign-flagged vessels to transport a range of commodities between US ports for the next 60 days. The short-term waiver of the Jones Act — a 1920 law designed to promote US shipbuilding — is being cast as a way to ease the shipment of energy products vital to national security as the war in Iran disrupts global cargo flows. The PIS Kalimantan last carried diesel from Houston to Colombia, according to data from Vortexa. A spokesperson for Sunoco didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Bloomberg News. Argus Media reported on the ships earlier. Read More: Trump Waives US Shipping Law for Oil and Gas Amid Iran War Under the Jones Act, any goods shipped between US ports must travel on US-built, owned and operated vessels. But those tankers are in short supply and expensive to charter. The waiver is one of a number of steps the Trump administration has taken or proposed in recent days as it seeks to counter the spike in fuel prices during the war. The conflict has led to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for energy supplies.

(RTTNews) - European markets ended sharply lower on Thursday as stocks tumbled following a severe escalation in tensions in the Middle East pushing up oil prices and triggering inflation concerns. A hawkish tone on inflation by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hurt as well. After leaving interest rates unchanged, Powell said in his post-meeting press conference on Wednesday that the U.S. is seeing "some progress on inflation" but "not as much as we had hoped." Powell warned that "you won't see the rate cut" if there isn't further progress on inflation because of the broader uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict and President Trump's tariffs. Investors also parsed the monetary policy announcements from the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank. All the three banks decided to leave their interest rates unchanged, and warned about inflation risks and possible rate hikes this year. On the Mid East war front, after Israel bombed Iran's South Pars natural gas fields and oil facilities in Asaluyeh, Tehran retaliated by launching an attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan energy complex, causing extensive damage to the facility. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before in the event of further attacks on Qatar. Brent crude futures moved past $119 a barrel before paring gains, dropping to around $109, still notably higher from previous close. The pan European Stoxx 600 dropped 2.39%. The U.K.'s FTSE ended 2.35% down, Germany's DAX closed 2.82% down, and France's CAC 40 settled lower by 2.03%, while Switzerland's SMI finished with a loss of 2.4%.

Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images In a March 10, 2026, Seeking Alpha article on fertilizers and The Mosaic Company ( MOS ), I explained that: While the crude oil market is in the crosshairs of the war in Iran, other commodities that rely on the same logistical route are also affected. Fertilizers are in the eye of the current storm. Meanwhile, a March 18, 2026, posting by SA New Editor Carl Surran noted: Agricultural futures have yet to feel the full force of the Middle East war, Bank of America said in a note, as volatility unleashed in oil and natural gas prices already feeds into the cost of inputs such as fertilizer and fuel, but U.S. production for crops such as corn may be challenged if fertilizer remains more expensive and harder to get. The iShares MSCI Agriculture Producers ETF ( VEGI ) has been moving higher since April 2025, and the current environment could push it to a new all-time high. War compounds the usual uncertainty heading into the Northern Hemisphere’s 2026 crop year The annual planting season in the Northern Hemisphere begins in March and April when farmers plant the crops that feed, and increasingly fuel, the world. The planting season is typically a volatile time in agricultural markets, as weather conditions during the crop year ultimately determine whether producers’ output can satisfy the growing global demand. In March 2026, another factor intensified uncertainty, as the war in Iran and blockages of the Strait of Hormuz has impacted the global fertilizer market. While the world is primarily focused on crude oil and natural gas supplies, the war’s impact on fertilizer supplies is timely, as shortages could affect annual global crop output. Unlike the oil market, there are no strategic fertilizer stockpiles, as most farmers, who are the consumers, purchase their fertilizer requirements on a hand-to-mouth basis, only exacerbating the potential for shortages. Timing in markets is everything, and the war’s timing, which could creat...
