Tomas Ragina/iStock via Getty Images Originally published on March 9, 2026 We enter the week with wide swings in markets, led by the oil spike overnight. The speculative frenzy that took oil from $91 to $119 late Sunday night was crushed by the European morning as a headline hit about Saudi making more supply available. Stocks followed the inverse path of oil along the way - ultimately recovering from deep declines overnight, to close in positive territory on the day. So, the markets went from full panic to relative calm in a single trading session - much like we saw from the Tuesday to Wednesday markets of last week. Remember, after that severe risk-off day on Tuesday, Scott Bessent was in front of a camera the next morning addressing all of the points of fear regarding the potential for a prolonged energy crisis. Today, was another talking down the temperature day - in this case, by talking up supply. It started with the Saudi supply news, then there was talk of a coordinated supply release from Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPRs) of G7 countries. And both today and yesterday, Trump officials talked about relaxing U.S. sanctions on Russian oil while the Hormuz Strait was shut. So, the sentiment massaging worked again. Markets like it. But the structural pain developing in Europe, we've been discussing, noticeably wasn't as reactive to the chatter of potential supply relief. Why? The U.S. is (now) energy-dominant (a net exporter). Europe is energy-dependent. Higher energy prices in Europe become a systemic financial risk across the eurozone at some point - as it begins to exacerbate the fiscally fragile (countries like Italy). And with that, this is the key stress indicator to watch right now in Europe - and it didn't improve today, it worsened... This chart (normalizing for unit of measure and exchange rate) reflects how much more Europeans are paying for energy (Dutch TTF Natural Gas) relative to Americans (Henry Hub Natural Gas). As you can see, the ratio is rea...

As private equity firms take longer to sell off companies they’ve bought, pay back investors in their funds, and raise money for new vehicles, Carlyle Group Inc. is turning to a unique solution: a multibillion-dollar structured financing. The transaction, known internally as “Project Potomac,” would seed a new buyout fund, Carlyle Partners IX, according to people with knowledge of the matter. It would also pay back money to some investors in the firm’s older private equity funds, said the people, asking not to be named discussing non-public information. The size and structure of the transaction are still being ironed out, said the people, but the financing could be bigger than any similar product on record . It would mark one of the clearest signs yet of private equity’s growing use of creative debt structures to pay back fund investors as asset managers work their way through a multi-year dealmaking slump. A representative for Washington-based Carlyle declined to comment. In a shareholder update last month Co-President John Redett said that the firm is “returning more capital to our investors than the industry,” noting $18 billion returned last year and $7.5 billion of exits signed or closed in the first two months of 2026. The financing would be set up with a combination of senior debt, preferred shares, and common equity, with Carlyle retaining a significant minority stake in the latter on its books, the people said. Investors in older funds will transfer their holdings into a new vehicle that provides them with equity and some cash, and which would in turn invest in the new buyout fund, they added. Private Equity Cash Crunch Spawns Even More Newfangled Financing Apollo’s Fox Hedge Is Taking Financial Wizardry to a New Level Private Funds Are Turning to Complex Bonds to Tackle Cash Crunch Private Equity’s Creative Wizardry Is Obscuring Danger Signs Project Potomac is structured similarly to a collateralized fund obligation, a type of securitization that gained tr...

If you were to ask 100 financial experts the best time to claim Social Security, the vast majority would suggest to wait until 70. Ultimately, it's all about life expectancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if you live to age 65, you probably have more in the tank. At age 65, the life expectancy for women is 85.8 years, and for men it's 83.4. The common school of thought is that the longer you wait to claim Social Security benefits, the larger your benefit will be into your 80s (and beyond). That's because benefits increase by 8% for each year you wait after your full retirement age (FRA), up to age 70. It all depends on you While it's easy to throw out a single age as though everyone should adhere to it, the "perfect" age to retire depends entirely upon your situation. Before determining when you want to claim Social Security benefits, ask yourself the following questions. How much of my pre-retirement income do I expect Social Security to cover? Social Security is designed to replace approximately 40% of your pre-retirement income. For example, if you regularly earn $4,000 per month, Social Security should replace around $1,600 of it. If it doesn't look like you're going to have other sources of income in retirement, working until age 70 may make sense. Consider this: If your Social Security benefits at FRA are scheduled to be $2,000 per month, waiting until age 70 will increase that amount by 24%, to $2,480. Will I be the only person in my household receiving Social Security? Let's say you're the primary breadwinner and your spouse plans to claim Social Security spousal benefits. As your spouse, they're eligible for up to 50% of your benefit at FRA. If you're receiving $2,000, they'll receive $1,000. There's one thing to keep in mind, though. If one of you dies before the other, the lower amount will be eliminated, leaving the surviving spouse with $2,000 a month. How's my health? The best time to claim Social Security may require an ...

据美国福克斯新闻频道10日报道，美国总统特朗普称，有可能有条件同伊朗谈判。 被问及他是否愿意同伊朗领导人对话时，特朗普说：“我听说他们非常想谈判。”“这是有可能的，取决于什么条件，但也仅仅是可能。” 特朗普重申他对伊朗新任最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊的不满，并表示：“我不相信他能和平地生活下去。”

3月10日早间，龙虾局再迎新玩家——智谱上线AutoClaw（中文名：澳龙），作为国内首个“一键安装”本地版OpenClaw，一经推出就掀起了市场热潮，当日智谱开盘大涨13%，午后拉升，市值再度突破3000亿港元。 我们在试用后发现，AutoClaw的核心是低门槛、高可操作性，一分钟装配，意味着其有望继续捅破部署人群的天花板。受此消息影响，当日算力、AI与云计算板块持续走热。在AutoClaw背后，我们看到了生产力变革的新节点。 真正开箱可用的龙虾出现了 这一周来，从两会代表话题，到地方政策利好，“养虾”突然成为全民话题，但站在技术围栏外的普通人，却也表现出极大的焦虑，到底该怎么养虾，以及如何把虾养好。 对没有技术基础的普通人来说，最头疼的第一步，就是怎么顺利拿到“入场券”。在凤凰网科技在上周末参加的一场人声鼎沸的“龙虾局”上，就有天南海北赶来的观众，焦急等待“被教学”，有观众无奈直言：“我知道怎么养，但我不知道怎么‘生’啊。” 2026年年初，OpenClaw就在开源社区爆火，一众开发者争先尝鲜，让其冲到GitHub榜首。甚至，为隔离安全风险，热情的“养虾”人们，又让性能和性价比突出的Mac miniM4再次“翻红”，销量激增到一度卖断货，价格也被炒上天。 作为能够调用工具、执行多步骤任务的Agent框架，OpenClaw被业内视为AI从“对话交互”向“任务执行”演进的一个重要方向。它能够通过即时通讯软件进行连接，使AI不再只是冷冰冰的聊天机器人，更像是可协作的“数字员工”；同时引入定时巡检功能，让AI能够主动根据用户意图发布消息、汇报进展，而不仅是被动响应用户提问。 不过，普通用户想尝鲜这只“龙虾”，得迈过两道坎：一是成本门槛，花钱租云服务器，按月付费，即使短期试用也需预付费用。对于不确定是否需要长期使用的用户来说，这种付费模式并不友好；二是技术门槛，OpenClaw的本地部署原本需要用户熟悉命令行操作、配置环境变量，甚至需要了解nvm或Docker等工具，自己操作部署，一旦报错就前功尽弃。 因此，当时行业人士预判，Openclaw很难爆火，因为其门槛还是太高。 甚至，这种供需之间的断层，还催生了一个灰色市场。社交和电商平台上出现大量“上门安装”“远程一键安装”OpenClaw的服务，价格从三五十元到上千元不等。在大众日渐高涨的FOMO（错过焦虑）下，甚至出现了...

AT&T周二宣布，未来五年将在美国投入超过2500亿美元用于扩建网络基础设施，并于今年招聘数千名技术人员。各大电信运营商正加大投资，以支撑激增的数据需求。 人工智能、云计算及物联网设备的快速普及，促使电信运营商大力投资光纤与5G网络，同时也在抵御来自有线宽带提供商日益激烈的竞争。 AT&T在美国约有11万名员工，该公司表示新增员工将助力建设与维护其基础设施。 此次投入包括资本支出及其他相关费用。 资金将重点用于扩建光纤和无线网络，包括加快部署光纤宽带、5G家庭互联网及卫星连接，将覆盖范围延伸至城市、郊区及农村地区。 AJBell金融分析主管丹妮・休森表示：“这家公司必须大力投入，同时也要投得明智……它与AST Space Mobile的合作将受到投资者密切关注。” 2019至2023年间，AT&T已在无线和有线网络领域投资超过1450亿美元，各大电信运营商当时竞相扩大高速网络覆盖。 此次大规模投资，与2021年美国基础设施法案推出的联邦宽带计划同步推进，其中包括425亿美元的宽带公平、接入与部署计划。 不过，由于实施层面的挑战以及特朗普政府时期的政策调整，相关资金的发放出现延迟。 光纤宽带已成为电信运营商与有线服务商争夺家庭互联网用户的核心战场。 AT&T同时正与卫星合作伙伴AST Space Mobile合作，将网络覆盖拓展至传统基础设施难以部署的偏远地区。 该公司表示，将继续为面向应急人员建设的FirstNet网络投入资金，并加大对网络安全及人工智能驱动威胁检测的投资力度。 责任编辑：李肇孚

krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Altria ( MO ) has spent decades since the surgeon general's first 1964 warning against smoking and its health impacts . Despite that, since then, the company has generated some of the highest shareholder returns in the market. As we’ll see throughout this article, the company’s continued focus on efficient operations will support continued returns. Altria Financials Altria had a strong year, despite a volatile smoking market, as demand for its products remained high. Altria Investor Presentation Altria saw $5.42/share in EPS for the year, with mid-single-digit YoY growth. That enabled the company to continue lofty shareholder returns through both a very reasonable dividend and repurchases. The company’s $8 billion in returns for the year is a number that it can comfortably afford, but still a very strong return level. Altria’s Changing Market At the same time, the smoking market declines that were once so substantial seem like they might not be so substantial anymore. Altria Investor Presentation Altria is expanding its smoke-free portfolio to reduce risk here. That includes new on! PLUS products along with Ploom and Marlboro heated tobacco sticks. Altria, which has substantial experience here with regulatory borders, advocates for a responsible and well-regulated marketplace here. Altria Investor Presentation The U.S. nicotine space has continued to see roughly 2% annual growth in estimated volumes since the start of COVID-19. That’s despite the decline of combustible tobacco as oral tobacco and e-vapor have expanded substantially. These alternative tobacco products now make up ~50% of the market. For e-vapor, the category has seen ~15% YoY growth with 1 billion in fresh volumes. Yet illicit products still represent ~70% of the category. That means a substantial opportunity for Altria as it continues to push less safe illicit products away from the marketplace. This is a strong opportunity for Altria, but it also needs a ...

2026年初，OpenClaw（俗称“小龙虾”）在GitHub上迅速走红，到3月成为GitHub历史上增长最快的开源项目之一。从极客玩家到普通用户，从程序员到退休老人，“养龙虾”几乎一夜之间刷遍了各大平台，甚至成了年轻人的一款“时尚单品”，争相尝鲜的新潮流。 说到Agent替人干活这件事儿，“代价”不小。Agent完成一个任务，背后是几十次连续的推理与决策，算力消耗可能是普通对话的数十倍。比如GPT-5.4回复一个“Hi”就需要80美元。Agent越普及，算力需求越大，电力消耗也随之急剧攀升。 一位资深AI研究员表示， token的消耗，将越来越深地嵌入经济运行的底层逻辑。未来绝大多数经济活动，都将以消耗token的形式完成 。而电力，正在成为这场AI竞争中越来越关键的变量。 一直以来，中国的电力成本在主要经济体中保持较强的竞争力，就连马斯克和黄仁勋都曾多次公开表示"中国或将因为能源电力优势赢得人工智能竞赛"。 不过，“电力优势”只是一个笼统的说法，这句话背后，是一套中国独有的能源电力格局，机遇与挑战并存。 图片由AI工具生成 01 AI算力狂奔，全球电力需求水涨船高 随着生成式AI的爆发，正以前所未有的速度吞噬全球算力资源。 中国信息通信研究院数据显示，截至2025年6月，全球计算设备算力总规模已达到4495 EFlops，同比增长约117%。其中，用于人工智能训练与推理的智能算力占比已从2024年的约70%提升至85%，成为算力增长的主要驱动力。 这种算力需求的快速增长，也正在直接转化为电力消耗。根据国际能源署（IEA）发布的《能源与人工智能》报告，2025年全球数据中心电力消耗约为415—650太瓦时（TWh），占全球总用电量的约1.5%—2%。其中，AI数据中心用电量占比已达到30%—40%，并仍在快速上升。 IEA指出， 美国、中国和欧洲是全球数据中心电力消耗最集中的地区，其中美国约占45%，中国约25% ，欧洲约15%。 “小龙虾”等Agent的广泛应用，正在让这种消耗进入一个新的量级。 以OpenClaw为例，每一个步骤都在消耗算力和不少真金白银，有海外用户表示，一个配置不当的自动化任务一天烧掉了200美元API费。 此外，即便在价格相对较低的模型上运行，Agent的持续调用也会带来不小的成本：一天运行Kimi的成本大约在5到10美元之间，月度Toke...

A pedicab drives past a traffic light that is out due to a power cut in Havana on March 4, 2026. Yamil Lage | Afp | Getty Images U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his threat of a " friendly takeover " of Cuba, saying the communist-run Caribbean island is in "deep trouble." His latest comments come less than a week after he suggested that his administration would turn its sights on Havana after U.S. military operations in Iran ended. The Trump administration has sought to ratchet up the pressure on Cuba since the Jan. 3 military operation to depose Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a long-time ally of Cuba's government. The U.S. has effectively cut Havana off from Venezuelan oil, called its government "an unusual and extraordinary threat," and pledged to impose tariffs on any country that supplies it with oil. Speaking at a news conference in Doral, Florida, Trump said on Monday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dealing with Cuba's leadership as the country grapples with a worsening economic crisis . "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter because they are down to, as they say, fumes," Trump said. "They have no energy. They have no money. They are in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis and we don't want to see that," he added. Cuba's government has denied being in talks with the U.S. government, although it has previously confirmed " communications " between the two administrations. A spokesperson for Cuba's embassy in London did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. The U.S. president and his allies have since spoken publicly about the prospect of Cuba becoming the subject of another major foreign policy move.

BING-JHEN HONG/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Qualcomm ( QCOM ) was in the spotlight on Tuesday as Bank of America reinstated coverage on the stock with an Underperform rating, stating it only sees “lukewarm” growth ahead for the semiconductor company. “QCOM is a leader in smartphone processors but it’s a mature industry with downside risks from rising memory prices and QCOM’s well-known imminent ~$7-8bn loss of Apple business,” analyst Vivek Arya wrote in a note to clients. “QCOM has diversified into auto/IoT and plans to enter AI data center, but benefits could be insufficient to offset mobile headwinds.” Arya has a $145 price target on Qualcomm. Aside from the concerns about the Apple ( AAPL ) business, Samsung ( SSNLF ) is also moving away from Qualcomm, reducing Galaxy share to 75% from 100%. Separately, Chinese handset maker Xiaomi has also upped its semiconductor R&D spending to $7B, which may be a negative for Qualcomm. The company is also likely to be hurt by rising dynamic random access memory costs for some time, as AI server builds have pressured the smartphone market, particularly in China. “Longer-term, QCOM faces intensifying competition across every end-market: MediaTek moving upmarket in handsets, NVDA/Mobileye in auto, and a crowded data center CPU market where we see QCOM’s opportunity at just 10-20% of ARM CPU share (~20% of $60bn TAM), i.e., just $1-2B sales or $0.20-$0.40 EPS,” Arya added.
