India’s foreign exchange reserves fell by the most since November 2024 as analysts said the central bank intervened to support the rupee amid volatility from the Iran War. The forex stockpile fell by $11.68 billion in the week of March 6, according to Reserve Bank of India data released Friday. “The drop in FX reserves is reflective of the RBI’s likely intervention to shield the rupee amid pressures in the first week of the war,” said Sakshi Gupta , principal economist at HDFC Bank Ltd. “In the near term, the focus from the central bank will be to curtail volatility in the Indian rupee.” The Iran War has pushed the rupee to record lows as oil prices surge following blockages in the Strait of Hormuz. Crude prices have risen nearly 37% since the start of the war, leading to a rush into haven assets and a selloff across emerging markets, especially fuel-importing nations like India. The RBI did not respond to an email seeking comment. The central bank has stepped up support for the rupee and sovereign bonds as oil prices swing. It purchased bonds through open market operation auctions and secondary market buying to infuse liquidity into the banking system, which may come under strain from dollar selling to support the currency. The decline in reserves reflects about $6.1 billion of dollar sales and a roughly $5.4 billion revaluation loss on factors like strength in the greenback, according to Gaura Sen Gupta , chief economist at IDFC First Bank Ltd. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose by 1.3% in the March 6 week, the most since mid-November 2024. Gold meanwhile receded more than 2%, which also contributed to the drawdown in reserves.

Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who was born in Lebanon and became a naturalized US citizen, lost two brothers, a niece and a nephew in the airstrike Sign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inbox The armed suspect who drove a vehicle into the hallway of a large Michigan synagogue complex that includes a school had lost four family members in an Israeli airstrike in his native Lebanon just last week, an official said on Friday.

US retail investors are taking a step back from their typically strong support for stocks, as the escalation in the Middle East and inflation concerns weigh on the group’s risk appetite. Weekly purchases by retail investors declined by about 30% following robust demand this year that had defied seasonal patterns, according to a JPMorgan Chase & Co. team led by strategist Arun Jain . “For the first time this year, retail investors are showing persistent signs of weakness,” the team wrote in the note dated March 12. “Monday marked the largest net-selling day in single stocks in a month, before purchases resumed at a positive, yet below year-to-date average pace on Tuesday and Wednesday.” Overall retail flows declined to $6.7 billion in the five trading days through Wednesday, which is below the 12-month average of $7.1 billion. Inflows into exchange-traded funds fell by 22% to $6.3 billion, still significantly more than the $400 million in single-stock buying. The escalation in Iran has led to a spike in volatility and crude oil futures trading around $100 a barrel, complicating the outlook for the global economy. The S&P 500 index fell to its lowest level since November on Thursday, after three days of declines. Still, the stock-picking choices of retail investors — who relentlessly bought every dip in the market last year — didn’t fully reflect the shift in market sentiment toward more defensive plays. They continued to buy top AI and data-center beneficiaries, as well as equities tied to the theme of AI software, product and monetization, along with growth stocks and cyclicals, according to the JPMorgan team. They funded the trade into AI-associated stocks by selling the 470 other names on the S&P 500 that are not part of this theme, the JPMorgan team wrote. “Consistent with this rotation, retail investors bought technology and consumer discretionary this week, including Nvidia , Broadcom , Microsoft , Oracle , Tesla and Palantir ,” the team added.

特朗普总统提名的美联储主席人选若主张快速降息，其提名确认之路可能会异常艰难。伊朗战事更是雪上加霜。 特朗普提名的美联储主席人选凯文・沃尔什，或将接手一家被伊朗战事带来的多重挑战缠身的央行。 美联储的伊朗难题 战事引发的油价暴涨已波及全球经济，冲击华尔街、购房者、农民等多方群体。 国际能源署称，这是 全球石油市场史上最严重的供应中断 ，也令美联储处境复杂化。尽管特朗普总统敦促立即降息，但部分经济学家与交易员已下调今年降息预期。 这可能让凯文・沃尔什 —— 特朗普选中、且被期待推动降息的人选 —— 陷入困境。 最新情况： 全球石油基准布伦特原油周四收于多年高位后，今日早盘跌破每桶 100 美元。自美以对伊朗发起行动以来，油价已飙升超 35%，即便特朗普政府试图通过放宽对 俄石油 制裁等方式压制能源价格。 石油市场恐慌情绪仍高：伊朗已开始在霍尔木兹海峡布设水雷，全球约 20% 的石油出口经此航道。伊朗新任最高领袖穆贾塔巴・哈梅内伊誓言将基本封锁该海峡。 高盛 首席美国经济学家戴维・梅里克尔周四致投资者称： “通胀走高将让美联储难以快速降息。” 受战事与通胀影响，高盛现已将美联储今年首次降息时间预期从 6 月推迟至 9 月。（若获参议院确认，6 月将是沃尔什作为美联储主席的首次会议，不过提名已被北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆・蒂利斯搁置。） 周五，期货交易员认为今年有降息的概率仅为 41%，且基本不可能在 12 月前降息。战事爆发前，市场曾押注年内降息两次。 沃尔什的参议院提名听证会可能火药味十足（日期尚未确定）。这位特朗普提名人曾在 2024 年 9 月批评美联储降息，但自特朗普去年上任后，他对降息的态度明显转向支持。 与此同时，特朗普仍在持续、急切地要求行动。周四，他斥责现任主席杰罗姆・鲍威尔没有 “立即降息”。 但战事引发的通胀风险，很可能让议员们对沃尔什的利率立场展开严厉质询。 下周的美联储会议或将释放关键前瞻信号。官员们将发布季度降息预测。去年 12 月，19 位政策制定者中有 12 位预计今年至少降息一次。 野村经济学家戴维・塞夫向《交易简报》表示：“若这一预期不变，沃尔什要说服众人在 6 月降息，难度并没有那么大。” 他认为，其他美联储观察人士低估了一点： 沃尔什就任主席当天，美联储的政治格局就会发生根本性改变。 责任编辑：郭明煜

Welcome to Bay Street Edition, our weekly newsletter devoted to what’s happening in Canadian finance, covering strategy, deals, people moves and economics. I’m Christine Dobby , Bloomberg’s Toronto-based banking reporter, and you’ll find me in your inbox every Friday. This week, we’re talking about the sudden surge in infrastructure investment, Ontario Teachers’ private equity pivot and the ongoing slump in US travel. Plus: pass me a $23 mocktail. Please share this newsletter with your friends and colleagues, and if it was forwarded to you, sign up here to receive it every week. Programming note: The newsletter will take a break next week and return on March 27. Major Leagues There’s nothing hotter in Canada these days than a major project. With all the uncertainty about trade with the US, Mark Carney’s government has put an emphasis on getting ambitious, “nation-building” projects underway — the sort that help Canadian natural resources and other products reach new markets. On Thursday the prime minister announced a few more such proposals in the far north. Pipelines, energy transmission lines, mines and ports all tend to cross or impact Indigenous lands. So one of the keys to successful projects is consulting with and winning buy-in from affected groups. Mark Podlasly, CEO of the First Nations Major Projects Coalition, has a front-row seat to this. His non-profit organization represents elected councils, hereditary Chiefs, tribal councils and development corporations from about 180 First Nations, around 30% of the country’s total. The two main goals are to protect the environment and the lands on which his members live and to advance their economic prospects, in many cases helping them take equity stakes in projects. Podlasly, who sits on the boards of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Hydro One, has a unique vantage point on how corporations are waking up to the economic potential his group represents. Indigenous people across the country hold about C$80 bil...

财联社3月13日讯（编辑 夏军雄） 美国银行策略师Michael Hartnett表示，油价飙升以及市场对私人信贷的担忧不断加剧，正在使当前的市场走势越来越像全球金融危机爆发前的情形。 Hartnett指出，在2007年7月至2008年8月期间，国际油价曾从每桶70美元翻倍上涨至140美元，与此同时，“次贷危机”的震荡开始出现，并波及英国北岩银行（Northern Rock）和贝尔斯登（Bear Stearns）等机构。 随着伊朗战争推动油价飙升，今年以来，油价已累计上涨超过60%。 哈特内特在一份报告中表示：“2026年的资产表现与2007年中至2008年中期间的价格走势惊人地相似，情况令人感到担忧。” 他补充称，华尔街目前“正以一种令人不安的方式重演2007—2008年的市场模式”。 目前，市场对银行在私人信贷领域的敞口愈发担忧。这一资产类别正面临基金赎回、承销标准受到审视，以及人工智能（AI）对部分借款人产生影响等问题。 此外，由伊朗战争引发的能源成本飙升，也加剧了市场对滞胀的担忧。所谓滞涨，即在经济增长停滞的同时，物价压力上升，迫使央行不得不提高利率。 本周早些时候，欧洲央行管理委员会成员Peter Kazimir表示，中东冲突及其对通胀的影响，可能迫使欧洲央行比预期更早加息。 Hartnett指出，欧洲央行在2008年7月——恰逢油价见顶的同一天——选择加息，事后证明是“史上最大的政策错误之一”。随后，仅仅74天后，随着信贷危机爆发并最终导致雷曼兄弟倒闭，同时油价暴跌至每桶40美元，欧洲央行被迫累计降息325个基点，因为“信贷危机最终压倒了油价因素”。 Hartnett表示，目前市场的主流共识仍认为伊朗冲突不会持续太久，同时私人信贷领域的问题也不会演变为系统性危机。这种预期正鼓励投资者继续维持看涨仓位，因为他们相信“政策制定者总会出手拯救华尔街”。 他认为，油价上涨和金融条件收紧对股市的最大风险在于企业盈利，而非通胀本身。 另一位美国银行策略师Sebastian Raedler在接受采访时也表示，他在信贷市场看到了“许多不安的迹象”，并称“其中确实存在一些与2007年类似的情况”。

molishka1988/iStock via Getty Images Since the crisis started in Iran, and since the geopolitical situation has worsened, I have been step-by-step increasing my coverage of sectors that are correlated to the end markets. Energy is one, but fertilizer is certainly one as well. My last piece of coverage, where I also went through what makes investing in Agriculture interesting, and the "way" to think about these investments. I looked at the various types of fertilizer, and in a condensed manner, described how to consider them and how they are used. In this article, I will be covering a very small company - but an interesting one. Brazil Potash ( GRO ). Small companies are not necessarily bad ones. And what is considered "small", by the way, in one geography may not be considered small in the least in another geography. So, a company with a market capitalization of $200M may be considered almost nano-cap in the US - but in Sweden, this would be a mid-cap, or under certain circumstances, even trade on the Stockholm stock market. Also, market capitalizations are somewhat distorted when you compare them to NYSE - because the American/NA stock market has so much capital availability and interest. It means that a smaller market cap may hide a "bigger" company if you look at one outside of it. Given the amount I spend travelling, and looking at companies also, this is not unusual in the least (I'm especially comparing Africa and Asia here, where $200M are some very large businesses). So, it's important to me not to have a bias here. I've invested in businesses with less than $50M in market cap. I've invested in businesses with over $80B. I will continue to do both. Fundamentals and prospects are what matter to me, and I believe given enough data of the company, as well as other information, I can determine what is attractive and what is not - with a proper risk assessment, of course. Brazil Potash and its fundamentals First, I refer you back to my article on IPI for some bas...

Gary Yeowell/DigitalVision via Getty Images By James Smith , Developed Markets Economist, UK January was weak The UK economy had a lacklustre start to 2026, the latest monthly GDP figures reveal. January’s output was unchanged relative to December, held back by a sharp drop in administrative/support services and hospitality. These figures do have a habit of bouncing around, and realistically, the economy is probably recording modest growth right now. Certainly, if you look at a three-month average of monthly GDP, the narrative looks a little better. Remember, too, that the UK growth figures have a suspicious habit of coming in stronger through 1Q than the rest of the year. This is a trend that began in 2022, and we suspect is linked to the period of higher inflation and the tendency of price hikes to be geared towards the first half of the year - something which may not be being fully adjusted for in the seasonal adjustment and/or deflation process. In other words, don’t rule out a strong bounce back in February or March - this is exactly what happened last year after a similarly weak January. UK monthly GDP over time (Source: Macrobond, ING) The bar for a BoE rate hike is high Needless to say, all of this is a bit of a moot point given the rise in energy costs. The longer gas and oil prices stay at these levels, clearly the bigger the impact on growth. If the current level of prices persist, we’re probably looking at a peak for headline inflation in late summer around 3.5%. That, at a time when private sector wage growth is biased towards 3%. Real incomes are likely to fall. This crisis also falls on a jobs market that is much, much cooler compared to when the Ukraine war began in February 2022. The vacancy rate is well below pre-Covid levels. Staff shortages aren’t nearly as prevalent. Higher energy prices will likely add to the recent rise in unemployment. For the Bank of England, that poses a dilemma. The 2022 playbook suggests it should tighten policy if the en...

俄罗斯驻英国大使告诉媒体，美以对伊朗的战争是一场“冒险行动”，其目标和退出策略仍不明确。 安德烈·克林表示，俄罗斯对德黑兰“非常同情”，并称这场不断升级的中东战争“最好的结局”是“仅仅表明其毫无意义”。 克林在周四录制的采访中表示：“我们仍在试图理解，特朗普总统在这场行动中的目标是什么。你知道，对于美国政府在这场行动中可能采取的退出策略，人们表达了大量怀疑。” 本周早些时候，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京向伊朗新任最高领袖莫杰塔巴·哈梅内伊发出信息，向德黑兰提供“坚定支持”，并表示伊朗“一直是并将继续是伊斯兰共和国的可靠伙伴”。 战争已持续两周，据报道伊朗首都各地遭到猛烈袭击，通过具有重要战略意义的霍尔木兹海峡的航运严重受阻。 白宫表示，“史诗愤怒行动”的目标是摧毁伊朗的弹道导弹库、生产能力和海军，切断其对其他国家代理人的支持，并确保伊朗永远无法获得核武器。 白宫周四表示，自2月28日行动开始以来，这些目标“始终未变、明确无误且保持一致”。 克林说：“我们对伊朗非常同情。我们对波斯湾国家也非常同情，这是毫无疑问的。就事情的起因而言，当每个人都在指责伊朗时，我无法理解这种立场。” 他继续说道：“正如我所说，危机始于以色列和美国对伊朗的侵略，而且当时正值谈判期间，”他指的是上月于瑞士日内瓦举行的伊朗核计划谈判。 “我的总统与美国总统讨论了这个问题，顺便说一句，我们可以为结束冲突、达成协议做出良好贡献。” 责任编辑：张俊 SF065
