Palm oil futures extended a rally, heading for the fifth gain in six sessions, as oil’s jump back above $100 a barrel increases demand prospects for biofuel feedstocks. Brent oil soared as much as 10% after Oman cleared all ships from its key export oil terminal and two tankers were attacked in Iraqi waters. The surge across energy markets due to the conflict in the Middle East has brought palm oil near parity — or even at a discount — to gasoil this month, compared with an average premium of $313 per ton over the past year. The narrowing differential is making margins for biofuels production more attractive, said Rajesh Modi , a trader at Sprint Exim Pte in Singapore. Large volumes of palm oil are funneled into crop-based fuels, especially in top grower Indonesia. The country requires fuel to be mixed with 40% palm-based biodiesel, with plans to eventually raise the mandate to 50%. The government is still conducting trials for the higher blending rate, with vehicle road tests expected to be completed in June, according to Eniya Listiani Dewi, director general for new and renewable energy at the energy ministry. However, the war — and effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz — has also spurred a spike in prices for methanol in Southeast Asia. The alcohol is key to breaking down crops and converting them into fuel, and Indonesia has relied on the Middle East for most of its imports. If the war continues, that risks hampering biofuel production and deepening the region’s energy crunch.

GlobalFoundries ( GFS ) has announced pricing of a secondary public offering of 20M ordinary shares at $42.00 per share, plus a plan to repurchase $300 million of its shares. The shares will be offered by Mubadala Technology Investment Company, GlobalFoundries's largest shareholder. The selling shareholder has allowed underwriters a 30-day option to buy an additional 3M shares at the offering price, minus discounts. The offering is expected to close on March 13, 2026. GFS will not sell any shares in this offering and will not receive funds from the shares sold by the selling shareholder. Concurrently, GFS will buy back $300 million worth of the selling shareholder's shares at the same price as in the offering. This buyback is part of a previously authorized $500 million share repurchase plan and will be funded with cash from GFS's balance sheet. The closing of the share repurchase is conditioned on the closing of the offering. However, the offering closure is not reliant on the repurchase closing, and the repurchase will remain unaffected by any additional share purchases by the underwriters. The underwriters will not earn discounts or commissions from the repurchase. More on GLOBALFOUNDRIES GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.

It's Not Like It's Sitting In A Bank In an interview with entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, Musk shared what a trillion-dollar fortune would mean. "It really just represents percentage ownership in companies that I built," Musk said. He added that net worths are more complex than just money in the bank. "It's not like it's sitting in a bank account," Musk said. Breaking down what it represented, Musk shared that companies were doing "useful things," which increases the value of the companies. "I own a percentage of those companies, and it sums up to that number, which seems high," the billionaire said. Elon Musk's Net Worth The Tesla CEO is currently the richest person on the planet, with his net worth exceeding that of over 693 billionaires across the world, according to the new billionaire's list by Forbes. Since October last year, Musk has reached the $500 billion, $600 billion, $700 billion and now $800 billion net worth milestones, becoming the first person to do so, ever. SpaceX IPO Trillion-Dollar Pay Package Another important factor for the billionaire is Tesla's new pay package for Musk, approved by investors last year in November during the company's annual shareholder meeting. The package is tied to milestones, which include 1 million Robotaxis and Optimus Humanoid robots each, 10 million active Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions and 20 million vehicle deliveries, among other goals that Musk must achieve with Tesla in order for the awards to kick into effect. According to Benzinga Edge Rankings, Tesla scores well on the Momentum and Quality metrics. Tesla also offers a favorable price trend in the Long term. Price Action: TSLA gained 2.15% to $407.82 at market close on Wednesday, but declined 0.74% to $404.81 during the after-hours session.

Dougal Waters/DigitalVision via Getty Images Portfolio Review Another strong year for equities. U.S. stocks advanced in the fourth quarter, achieving double-digit gains for the calendar year once again. Investors shrugged off various risks, including a weakening labor market, and cheered the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) interest rate cuts. The rally broadened late in the year. The prospect of lower interest rates broadened the market rally to include mid- and small-cap equities in the fourth quarter. Health care stocks, which had been beaten down for much of the year, led all sectors in the fourth quarter, followed by communication services. Utilities and real estate were the two sectors that failed to make gains during the period. Utilities detracted. Our decision to overweight the utilities sector relative to the benchmark detracted from results as the sector underperformed the broader market. Stock selection within the sector was also a headwind as the utilities we favored, those that we believed were less volatile and more stable with a narrower range of potential outcomes, generally underperformed. Communication services hurt. Stock selection and below-benchmark exposure in the communication services sector weighed on performance. An underweight to Google parent Alphabet was a notable detractor as its shares soared following the launch of the latest version of its artificial intelligence model. Industrials helped. Stock picks in the industrials sector helped buoy returns. While the portfolio was underweight in industrials relative to the benchmark, overweight positions in the machinery and passenger airlines industries were beneficial to results. Key Contributors Teradyne ( TER ). This semiconductor testing company posted strong earnings during the period with sales and profit hitting the high end of the company's guidance range. Teradyne has benefited from robust artificial intelligence testing demand across all its segments. Roche Holding ( RHHBF )( RHHBY ). Sha...

AMD has recently announced the expansion of its AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P100 Series processor lineup. This enables scalable and power-efficient AI compute tailor-built for industrial and AI edge systems. Scenarios include factory automation, physical AI in mobile robotics, and other AI-driven edge applications. With eight to 12 high-performance Zen 5 cores, AMD ROCm support, and up to 80 total system TOPS, the new x86 embedded APUs deliver up to: 2x more CPU core counts 8x higher GPU compute 36% higher system TOPS This way, developers and system designers get an expanded and scalable portfolio of power-efficient edge computing solutions. These processors support real-time AI from vision to control and reasoning, as well as offer advanced graphics capabilities. On a single chip, clients get up to 80 TOPS physical AI acceleration, AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics for real-time visualization, and an NPU based on the AMD XDNA 2 architecture. Moreover, the processors can withstand industrial temperature ranges (-40° C to 105° C) and can support continuous 24/7 operations for up to 10-year life cycles. That’s along with low-latency and power-efficient AI inference. Real-life applications include intelligent factories, autonomous robots, and medical imaging devices. For instance, the processors can deliver CPU performance required for real-time inspection and process optimization. For mobile robots, meanwhile, processors can manage navigation, motion, control, and route planning while the GPU processes multi-camera feeds for spatial awareness. Furthermore, for 3D health imaging, the processors can enable the powering of 3D imaging for ultrasounds, endoscopes, tissue classification, and tumor detection at the edge. This is done with models like U-Net, nnU-Net, and MONAI. The processors then accelerate image-to-report workflows with MedSigLIP and support clinical reasoning and Q&A with Med-PaLM 2.

Rawf8/iStock via Getty Images The Trump administration on Wednesday launched new trade investigations into China, Mexico, the European Union, India, and more than a dozen other economies, aiming to replace President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs after they were recently ruled illegal by the Supreme Court. The probes, which will likely expand to more nations, will be conducted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters during a call. That law permits the U.S. to impose tariffs on imported goods from other nations found to have engaged in unfair trade practices. “The president’s trade policy remains the same,” Greer said, according to a CNBC report. Greer said that the Section 301 probes “will cover acts, policies and practices of certain economies relating to structural excess capacity and production in manufacturing sectors.” According to a USTR press release, " across numerous sectors, many U.S. trading partners are disregarding market-based policies and producing more goods than they can consume or productively invest domestically. The result of this overproduction is large or persistent trade surpluses, including the expansion of exports to the United States or to third countries that, in turn, export to the United States." Greer said the administration expects that this investigation will uncover a variety of "unfair trading practices related to excess capacity and production in manufacturing.” “Our view is that key trading partners have still production capacity that is really untethered from the market incentives of domestic and global demand.” “We do expect that there will be other Section 301 investigations on a country-specific basis, or maybe other tools or investigations that may come up,” Greer said. “I won’t go into too much detail.” More on markets, etc. Disinflation Continues With Unknowns Ahead AIER's Everyday Price Index Jumps 0.61 Percent In February 2026 Dow Jones And U.S. Index Outlook:...
