Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Stocks Jump, Oil Tumbles After IEA Calls Extraordinary Meeting To Decide On SPR Release With oil reversing much of the overnight losses as we neared the start of US cash open trading, futures slumped and it felt like we were back to square one. That's when the jawboning out of the G7 members - many of whom are already at their breaking point in terms of soaring input costs - decided to double down on the jawboning rhetoric from yesterday - and hinted strongly that an SPR release could be imminent. The narrative peaked just around 10:20am ET, when the head of the IEA, Fatih Birol, said that after the IEA hosted a G7 Energy Ministers Meeting, chaired by Minister Roland Lescure of France, on the current oil & gas market situation, tonight there would be an " extraordinary meeting of IEA Member governments later today to assess market conditions. " Today @IEA hosted a G7 Energy Ministers Meeting, chaired by Minister Roland Lescure of France, on the current oil & gas market situation We will hold an extraordinary meeting of IEA Member governments later today to assess market conditions My statement: https://t.co/ViR4Zc4Mhv pic.twitter.com/TYlt2Aj89E — Fatih Birol (@fbirol) March 10, 2026 Birol also attached the following peak jawboning statement: In oil markets, conditions have deteriorated in recent days. In addition to the challenges of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a substantial amount of oil production has been curtailed. This is creating significant and growing risks for the market. We discussed all the available options, including making IEA emergency oil stocks available to the market. IEA Member countries currently hold over 1.2 billion barrels of public emergency oil stocks, with a further 600 million barrels of industry stocks held under government obligation. Given conditions in oil markets, I have convened an extraordinary meeting of IEA Member governments, which will take place later today to assess the current security of supply and market condition...

Under-pressure England have made a solitary change to their starting line-up to face France in the final round of the Six Nations on Saturday with Ollie Chessum coming into the back row. The versatile Chessum, 25, started the first three games of England's campaign in the second row, but will add weight, ball-carrying power and a useful line-out option to the back row as blind-side flanker. With Tom Curry out with a calf injury suffered in the warm-up of their loss to Italy, Guy Pepper shifts to open-side. Sam Underhill, who came the starting line-up as a last-minute replacement for Curry in Rome, drops to the bench. Elsewhere the side is unchanged, with Fin Smith continuing at fly-half, Seb Atkinson and Tommy Freeman in the centres and Alex Coles partnering captain Maro Itoje in the second row. Underhill and Marcus Smith could win their 50th England caps off the bench. England had earmarked this match as a potential title decider before the start of the Six Nations, but defeats by Scotland, Ireland and Italy have left them fifth in the table. Another loss would condemn them to the worst campaign in 27 years of the Six Nations. France, level with Scotland on 16 points at the top of the table heading into the final round, will be clear on what they need to do to retain their Six Nations title come kick-off. Scotland will play Ireland, who are two points off the leading two, in the first match of the day at 14:10 GMT. England: Daly; Roebuck, Freeman, S Atkinson, Murley; F Smith, Spencer; Genge, George, Heyes, Itoje (capt), Coles, Chessum, Pepper, Earl Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Rodd, Davison, Cunningham-South, Underhill, Pollock, Van Poortvliet, M Smith
Steve Borthwick has recalled Ollie Chessum to his beleaguered side for their final Six Nations match against France but otherwise stuck by the same underfire players who suffered defeat against Italy.

Steve Borthwick has recalled Ollie Chessum to his beleaguered side for their final Six Nations match against France but otherwise stuck by the same underfire players who suffered defeat against Italy. Chessum comes into the side at blindside flanker to add to England’s lineout options but Borthwick has named an unchanged back line despite last weekend’s humiliating first ever defeat by the Azzurri which extended England’s losing run to three matches. Guy Pepper switches to openside flanker with Sam Underhill – who was a late call-up for the injured Tom Curry against Italy – returning to the bench. After the record defeat by Ireland, Borthwick ripped up his side and made 12 changes but on this occasion he has kept faith in his charges with a determination to double down on the kick-heavy tactic employed so far in the championship. As a result, Ben Spencer and Fin Smith continue as the halfbacks with Seb Atkinson keeping his place at inside centre and Tommy Freeman remaining in the No13 jersey. Cadan Murley and Tom Roebuck are on the wings with Elliot Daly sticking at fullback – Borthwick opting against turning to Marcus Smith or George Furbank. Up front, Jamie George, who was in the wars against Italy and required repeated treatment, stays at hooker with Ellis Genge and Joe Heyes again the props. Alex Coles keeps his place alongside the captain Maro Itoje in the second row with Pepper and Ben Earl joining Chessum in the back-row. Chessum is a lock by trade but impressed on occasion in the back-row when deployed there by Andy Farrell during last summer’s British & Irish Lions tour of Australia. On the bench Luke Cowan-Dickie, Bevan Rodd and Trevor Davison provide front-row cover with Chandler Cunningham-South and Henry Pollock joining Underhill in a 6-2 split. Jack van Poortvliet and Marcus Smith are also among the replacements. “It’s a huge challenge under the lights in Paris against a very strong France side,” said Borthwick. “England versus France is one of the gre...

tang90246/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I'm keeping Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited ( ATAT ) as a "Buy"-rated name. I predict that ATAT's Q4 financial disclosures will be a positive surprise. Furthermore, I also see it maintaining robust earnings growth in the current year too. Its better-than-anticipated 3Q25 showing was the focus of my prior November 27, 2025, update . My Bet Is On Above-Expectations Fourth Quarter Earnings ATAT's upcoming results will be released next week on March 17. Analysts are anticipating a meaningfully slower pace of expansion and weaker profitability based on S&P Capital IQ's consensus data. The group's turnover increase is projected to moderate from 3Q2025's +38.4% to 4Q2025's +35.2% on YoY terms. The Oct-Dec '25 "Net Profit Margin/NPM" projection is 15.8%, as opposed to a superior 18.5% in the preceding quarter. I believe the sell-side is too pessimistic about its near-term print. This sets the stage for a potential Q4 beat. RevPAR in Mainland China, ATAT's home market, rose 3% in the final quarter of last year. As per S&P Capital IQ, that beat the consensus's prediction by 1ppt. Management guided conservatively at the late-Nov 3Q25 call that "we expect the pressure from the year-on-year decline in RevPAR to further ease" for 4Q25. My take is that there's a good chance of the company returning to positive territory considering the encouraging industrywide statistics. It might have even outpaced the sector during the recent three-month period. ATAT participated in Goldman Sachs's ( GS ) investor event in early 2026. The firm expects "blended RevPAR to continue a 2%-3% outperformance versus the same-hotel" figure because of "product upgrades." These remarks were outlined in GS's Jan 6 research note (not publicly available) titled "APAC Consumer & Leisure Corporate Day." Separately, UBS Group ( UBS ) issued a report (inaccessible in public) on Feb. 11, 2026, named "Expert Call Takeaways," detailing its channel checks with Chinese hote...
After years of lagging the S&P 500, small caps are finally having a moment again.

After years of lagging the S&P 500, small caps are finally having a moment again. While large caps are still mostly flat on the year, the iShares Core S&P Small Cap ETF (IJR +0.41%) is up more than 7% year to date (as of March 3, 2026). The artificial intelligence (AI) narrative has played a big part in this. The market has begun looking at things through the lens of how industries will be disrupted by AI, not how profitable it can make the big tech companies. That has led to a major rotation away from tech and into more undervalued areas of the economy. Small caps fall into that group. Given how long they've underperformed large caps, small caps could finally be in line for an extended stretch of leadership. Here's the investment case. Small-cap corporate earnings begin to rebound Earnings growth is a big driver of long-term stock performance. That hasn't been a problem lately for megacap tech, but it has been for small caps. Earnings were slipping over the past few years, but that trend appears to be reversing now. In the latter part of 2025, small-cap earnings rebounded by 27%, finally providing the fundamental rebound that could support stock price gains. With positive earnings growth and much more attractive valuations to begin with, the foundation is set for a small-cap comeback. A strong value play Part of the reason that large caps and tech are struggling in 2026 is because investors are questioning how much they want to pay for the growth story. If earnings momentum slows or there are questions about the health of the U.S. economy, large caps could lead on the way down. That's not as much of an issue with small caps. The iShares Core S&P Small Cap ETF currently has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.5 compared to a 27.7 multiple for the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. This deep relative discount means 1) there's a lot of value left to potentially still unlock and 2) there should be some downside protection built in because of this if conditions start to head s...
