Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry. Hayes in recent months has repeatedly forecasted that the Fed will engage in quantitative easing, boosting Bitcoin’s price. In January, he said the trigger would be the Trump administration’s military operations in Venezuela and last month, he said it would be an AI-led financial crisis. Meanwhile, Bitcoin so far has had a mixed reaction to the escalation of hostilities in the Middle East. It initially dropped from near $66,000 to $63,000 before recovering to most recently trade at a one-month high of $73,000. It does not seem likely that Hayes’ anticipated interest rate cuts will come in the next Fed meeting, however. According to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool as of Wednesday the chances of the Fed cutting interest rates at its March 17-18 meeting are 2.7%. The majority of observers expect the Fed to hold the current rate of between 350 and 375 basis points. He cited previous U.S. military campaigns in the Middle East, such as the Gulf War in 1990, the global war on terror campaign launched in 2001 in response to 9/11 and the move to increase military presence in Afghanistan in 2009. The Fed was forced to cut interest rates and pump liquidity into the market to support the war effort in those instances except in 2009, when the interest rate was already near zero, he said.

With war quickly spilling over Iran’s borders across the Middle East and concerns that AI could displace entire knowledge-based companies and industries, investors have been searching for safety lately. “Markets are panicked as investors fear that the blast radius of the Iran attack may be larger than initially suspected,” he wrote in a note Wednesday. In some sense, this may be an example of why investors should be careful what they wish for.

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. The push and pull between the oil markets and equities continues . After a calm Wednesday, oil prices surged on Thursday, with West Texas Intermediate topping $80 per barrel and reaching its highest level since July 2024 amid concerns about supply disruptions and a prolonged war. As oil prices rise, so do fears of inflation, which pushes the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield higher. The combination of rising oil prices, which act as a tax on consumers, with higher bond yields makes for an ugly combination for stocks. Over the past few days, spikes in oil prices have been met with commentary from the Trump administration about potential steps to stabilize the energy market. Nvidia shares turned lower after Bloomberg reported that the Trump Administration is drafting a plan that would give it more control over AI chip exports. According to the report, U.S. officials have drafted regulations requiring companies to seek U.S. approval to export AI accelerators to other countries. The report also says these rules wouldn't function as an export ban but would instead make the U.S. government the "gatekeeper for the AI industry." That's an extremely important distinction, but it's still surprising news because last May the Trump administration scrapped the Biden administration's "AI diffusion rule" that would've set strict semiconductor export limits.

Rocket Companies ( RKT ) stock fell 5.1%, and UWM Holdings ( UWMC ) stock declined 4.2% in Thursday afternoon trading after Better.com partnered with OpenAI ( OPENAI ) to launch a conversational credit decision engine in ChatGPT. The decision app for mortgages and home equity loans connects users with Better's Tinman engine directly in ChatGPT, allowing lending teams to approve more loans faster, the companies said in a statement. " Big mortgage aggregators in the broker and correspondent channel charge what is essentially a 1-2% tax on each loan just to underwrite a mortgage and deliver it to an institutional investor.

经济学家预计，人工智能将带来更高的生产率，这对于长期之内提升经济增长至关重要。但投资者开始担心，在实现这一点的过程中可能造成怎样的损害，既包括资本市场，也包括劳动力市场，尤其是人工智能带来的颠覆性影响远超互联网繁荣时期的情况下。 “这次是不是规模更大？是的，” 弗吉尼亚大学的人工智能专家Anton Korinek说，或许大了10倍。“与1990年代相比，关键区别在于互联网只扰乱了信息传播，”Korinek说，“而人工智能则颠覆了广泛的认知生产。这涉及的的经济影响面要大得多。” 终极目标 当然，这些都还是对一种快速变化、且在很大程度上未经检验的技术的早期猜测，而该技术的终极目标是让劳动者更高效。 生产率本质上是衡量劳动者在现有工具条件下能够产出多少的指标，因此当有人发明互联网或人工智能这样的重要新工具时，生产率往往会大幅上升。 根据周四公布的数据，上个季度美国劳动生产率上升了2.8%。由于波动较大，经济学家通常不会对单个季度过度解读。不过，总体趋势是上升的。在疫情时期出现大幅波动之后，自2023年初以来，生产率以2.8%的平均速度增长。这是截至2019年十年期间平均水平的两倍多。 关于这轮加速有多少归因于人工智能，争论非常激烈。但即便是那些认为这项新技术尚未作出重大贡献的分析师，大多也预计它不久后就会发挥重要作用。 劳动生产率的提高能够带来效率的提升，使企业及其员工都能增加收入，而不会引发通货膨胀。从历史看，经济会适应重大的技术突破，创造出此前无人能想象的新兴产业和新职业，生活水平也随之提高。 “必须如此” 这是长周期的视角，掩盖了前进道路上的许多坎坷。 “一个行业出现繁荣与萧条的周期是正常的，”麻省理工学院获得诺贝尔奖的经济学家Simon Johnson说。“甚至可能必须如此。” 但他表示，当企业倒下时，可能会带来更广泛的风险，尤其是当倒闭的企业借贷甚多时。“你不希望感染到信贷，当然也绝对不想卷入银行体系内部。” 就目前而言，在美国资本市场上，所谓的“人工智能恐慌交易”还只是一个小水花。 自2022年11月份ChatGPT发布以来，标普500指数上涨了大约三分之二。其中很大一部分涨幅来自人工智能公司本身及其供应商的估值飙升，如Meta Platforms Inc．和英伟达。但如果他们的技术令人失望，就会带来一系列风险。 但还有另一类风险，也是近期市场波动背后的那一类...

Many American investors might not realize it, but so far in 2026, the U.S. stock market has not been the strongest in the world. Year to date, the S&P 500 is basically flat (up about 0.5%), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 has fallen 1.2%. Both have been soundly outperformed by the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS 2.89%), which is up 11% year to date. What's driving the strong performance of international stocks? Let's look at why investors might want to buy non-U.S. stocks in 2026. Money is flowing 4:1 to international markets According to Bloomberg , a recent research report from Bank of America found that so far in 2026, more money is going to international stocks than American stocks. The BofA research found that a combined $104 billion of money flows have gone to stock funds in international developed markets such as Europe and Japan, while only $25 billion of flows have gone to U.S. stocks. That means four times as much investor cash is going to non-U.S. stocks. BofA analyst Michael Hartnett called 2026 a "new world order" for international stock investors, with investors leading a global rebalancing away from the U.S. economy. Based on his research, Hartnett believes global investors are looking beyond the U.S. market and avoiding the U.S. dollar. A weaker dollar could be good news for U.S. investors who own international stocks. When the dollar loses value, those foreign currency-denominated assets become more valuable in dollar terms. For example, if you own a share of a European company priced in euros and the dollar loses 10% of its value against the euro, that euro-denominated share price goes up 10% in dollars. How to buy international stocks easily If you want an easy way to diversify your portfolio without relying too much on U.S. stocks or to protect your savings from a declining dollar, investing in international stocks could be a good strategy. The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF can be a good way to buy international stocks. This E...

Shares of Broadcom (AVGO +3.09%) climbed on Thursday, gaining as much as 5.9%. As of 1:16 p.m. ET, the stock was still up 3.5%, despite a general market downtrend. The catalyst that sent the semiconductor specialist higher was robust results fueled by strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) hardware. A big boost from AI In its fiscal 2026 first quarter (ended Feb. 1), Broadcom generated revenue that rose 29% year over year to $19.3 billion, driving adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to $2.05, up 28%. For context, analysts' consensus estimates called for revenue of $19.14 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.02, so Broadcom surpassed both estimates by a wide margin. The company cited robust demand for its AI hardware driving its financial gains, and the results backed that up.

周四，埃隆・马斯克在法庭上继续为自己在2022年收购推特前数月的行为进行辩护。他正面临一桩集体诉讼，原告指控其误导投资者，导致投资者损失数百万美元。 这起民事庭审在旧金山进行。案件核心是一桩集体诉讼，该诉讼在马斯克于2022年10月掌控推特前不久提起。这家社交媒体平台后被他更名为X。而早在六个月前，马斯克已同意以440亿美元、每股54.20美元的价格收购这家陷入困境的公司。 该案代表了在2022年5月13日至10月4日期间卖出推特股票的股东，核心指控是：马斯克违反了联邦证券法，通过一系列蓄意操作压低公司股价，试图要么终止这笔收购交易，要么压低收购价格。 马斯克已是第二天出庭作证，他再次坚称，推特的虚假和垃圾账号数量远高于其在监管文件中披露的5%。 在马斯克洽谈收购事宜时，推特上的机器人与虚假账号问题并非新问题。该公司曾在2021年支付8.095亿美元，就其夸大用户增长率和月度活跃用户数的相关指控达成和解。推特多年来一直向美国证券交易委员会披露其对机器人账号比例的估算，同时也提醒称这一估算可能偏低。 但马斯克与部分外部分析师认为，这一比例实际要高得多，至少达到20%。马斯克表示，称机器人账号至少有这么多，就像“说草是绿的、天是蓝的”一样显而易见。 责任编辑：李肇孚

Royal Bank of Canada Chief Executive Officer Dave McKay received C$23.76 million ($17.3 million) in total compensation last year, a pay package that included a bonus that was 86% above his target as the firm achieved record earnings. Canada’s largest lender also plans to increase annual compensation for its board directors by 22% to C$415,000 per year following a review by an external consultant, Royal Bank said in its annual proxy circular , filed Thursday. McKay’s base salary of C$2 million in fiscal 2025 was essentially unchanged from a year earlier, the bank said, with the bulk of his compensation coming from incentive pay as well as share- and option-based awards. The long-time CEO took home about C$2 million less than in 2024 , when he received a larger share-based award in recognition of the bank’s successful closing of its acquisition of HSBC Holdings Plc ’s Canadian assets. Royal Bank had total net income of C$20.4 billion in fiscal 2025, “driven by strong year-over-year growth across all business segments,” the company’s board said in the filing, pointing to McKay’s “continued leadership in steering RBC through a turbulent environment.” Eleven shareholder proposals were submitted for consideration at the bank’s annual meeting on April 9, with topics including climate change, disclosure of the ratio of executive pay to that of average workers, the bank’s use of tax havens and artificial intelligence governance. National Bank of Canada , the country’s sixth-largest lender, also filed its proxy circular Thursday. It paid CEO Laurent Ferreira C$13.45 million in total compensation, up from C$12.07 million in 2024. Read More: RBC Posts Record Yearly Earnings, Boosts Profit Target

Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her toggle caption Win McNamee/Getty Images President Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and said GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma would replace her. Noem "will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida," Trump posted on social media . "I thank Kristi for her service at 'Homeland.'" Noem is the first cabinet secretary to leave the Trump administration in the second term. The announcement comes after Noem spent two days being grilled by lawmakers in Congress over her leadership. Sponsor Message Mullin has been a defender of the president and his immigration agenda. "A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda," Trump said in his post highlighting Mullin's position as the only Native American in the Senate. "Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" toggle caption Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Mullin will need to be confirmed by the Senate in order to take on the role permanently. Noem, who was formerly South Dakota's governor, had been at the forefront of Trump's efforts to carry out mass deportations. Following her confirmation, she quickly became the face of the administration's immigration agenda — making multimillion dollar ads urging people to self deport, conducting press conferences around the country touting deportation numbers and conducting international visits geared at promoting Trump's vision. She is the highest-profile departure in recent weeks at the agency. Madison Sheehan, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement deputy director, left her post at the start of the year to run for Congress. Top agency spokesperson Tricia McLaug...

Can a digital tablet cut back a country's overuse of antibiotics? toggle caption Magali Rochat During a typical day at a clinic in rural Rwanda, nurses can see 60 patients a day. Adults and children line up with injuries, coughs and fevers, often after traveling many miles. "Nurses are very busy, they're receiving all the things from the community, complicated or easy," says Dr. Victor Pacifique Rwandarwacu, a physician from Rwanda. That leaves little time for diagnosis. When faced with a patient suffering from an illness, many nurses err on the side of prescribing something. Often, that's antibiotics. "You find them giving a high number of antibiotics, just in case," says Rwandarwacu. "They'd be like, 'OK, what if I don't give it, and then the patient comes back tonight?'" Sponsor Message That dynamic has led to extremely high prescription rates, according to new research by Rwandarwacu and his colleagues. Across 32 clinics in Rwanda, 71% of pediatric visits ended with an antibiotic prescription. That's likely much, much higher than necessary. For a given patient, getting antibiotics for, say, a viral case of pneumonia may not be a big deal, even though antibiotics do nothing to stop the virus. But across a region or country, such high rates of unnecessary prescriptions can breed resistance . "In sub-Saharan Africa, the rise in antimicrobial resistance is enormous," says Jean Claude Semuto Ngabonziza, a researcher at the Rwanda Biomedical Center who was also involved in the study. "We are at the edge of losing potential antibiotics." But Ngabonziza, Rwandarwacu and their colleagues have developed a new tool that could help. Their computer tablet-based tool, called ePOCT+, guides clinicians, step-by-step, through diagnosing a problem and suggesting a treatment. After those same 32 clinics implemented ePOCT+, antibiotic prescription rates plummeted from 71% to 25% , the researchers report in PLOS Medicine. That drop didn't lead to more kids getting sicker. "The most ...
