(RTTNews) - The Taiwan stock market has tracked lower in back-to-back sessions, tumbling almost 1,100 points or 3.2 percent along the way. The Taiwan Stock Exchange now sits just beneath the 34,325-point plateau and it's expected to open in the red again on Wednesday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative on continuing concerns over the conflict in the Middle East, although oil stocks are expected to continue to soar. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian markets are expected to follow that lead. The TSE finished sharply lower on Tuesday following losses from the technology stocks and plastics companies, although the financial sector was up on bargain hunting. For the day, the index plummeted 771.44 points or 2.20 percent to finish at the daily low of 34,323.65 after peaking at 35,264.59. Among the actives, Mega Financial collected 0.50 percent, while First Financial rose 0.34 percent, Fubon Financial perked 0.11 percent, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company tanked 2.03 percent, United Microelectronics Corporation surrendered 2.95 percent, Hon Hai Precision stumbled 4.18 percent, Largan Precision eased 0.20 percent, Catcher Technology skidded 1.05 percent, MediaTek crashed 4.47 percent, Delta Electronics plummeted 5.96 percent, Novatek Microelectronics tumbled 1.81 percent, Formosa Plastics slumped 1.48 percent, Nan Ya Plastics cratered 5.03 percent, Asia Cement retreated 1.54 percent and Cathay Financial, CTBC Financial and E Sun Financial were unchanged. The lead from Wall Street is soft as the major averages opened lower on Tuesday and spent the entire session in the red, although closing at their best levels for the day. The Dow stumbled 403.51 points or0.83 percent to finish at 48,501.27, while the NASDAQ sank 232.17 points or 1.02 percent to end at 22,516.69 and the S&P 500 dropped 64.99 points or 0.94 percent to close at 6,816.63. The early nosedive on Wall Street came amid concerns about the fallout from the ongoing conf...

As competition among AI startups heats up, founders and VCs are turning to novel valuation mechanisms to manufacture a perception of market dominance. Until recently, the most sought-after companies raised multiple rounds of funding in quick succession at escalating valuations. However, because constant fundraising distracts founders from building their products, lead VCs have devised a new pricing structure that effectively consolidates what would have been two separate funding cycles into one. Recent rounds employing this scheme include Aaru’s Series A. The synthetic-customer research startup raised a round led by Redpoint, which invested a large portion of its check at a $450 million valuation, the Wall Street Journal reported. Redpoint then invested a smaller portion at a $1 billion valuation, and other VCs joined at that same $1 billion price point, according to our reporting. TechCrunch was the first to report Aaru’s financing, including its multi-tiered valuation. The approach allows desirable startups like Aaru to call themselves a unicorn — valued at more than $1 billion — even though a significant portion of the equity was acquired at a lower price. “It is a sign that the market is incredibly competitive for venture capital firms to win deals,” said Jason Shuman, a general partner at Primary Ventures. “If the headline number is huge, it’s also an incredible strategy to scare away other VCs from backing the number two and number three players.” The massive ‘headline’ valuation creates the aura of a market winner, even though the lead VC’s average price was significantly lower. Multiple investors told TechCrunch that until recently, they had never encountered a deal where a lead investor splits their capital between two different valuation tiers in a single round.

Nidec Corp. ’s shares surged after an investigation into a long-running financial scandal found systemic issues with its accounting but not its manufacturing operations, giving investors hope the business can still be salvaged. The stock jumped as much as 19% in early Tokyo trading, before paring the gains to be up around 5% at 10:15 a.m. local time. Nidec, the world’s largest manufacturer of precision motors, on Tuesday said it faces ¥250 billion ($1.6 billion) in impairment charges. It also announced further executive departures and warned there could be additional charges that would impact its past financial results, with third-party investigators saying they’ve uncovered at least 1,000 instances of improper accounting. Read more: Nidec Warns of $1.6 Billion Charges From Accounting Scandal Even so, the preliminary findings show that “accounting systems were the issue, not product competitiveness, which suggests the company’s performance can recover, depending on the restructuring plan,” Bloomberg Intelligence’s Masahiro Wakasugi said in a note. However, further impairment charges will erode shareholder equity and negatively affect its financial position, BI said. The accounting issues, which surfaced in June, involve a litany of problems spanning subsidiaries in Italy, Switzerland and China, as well as its car inverter business. Since then, the company has delayed financial results, had its credit rating downgraded and is at risk of being delisted. Irregularities included inflated values of raw materials and inventories, incorrectly declared customs values, government grants presented as revenue in financial statements, and labor costs counted as fixed assets to defer expenses. As financial pressure built, units attempted to cover losses by reporting higher revenue but in turn that led to even greater strain. Nidec released a snapshot of its recent performance, reporting revenue rose 3.9% to ¥678 billion in the three months ended Dec. 31. The company won’t pay a ...

Hongkongers may begin to feel the impact of the escalating war in the Middle East in the coming months, as rising global oil prices are expected to push up energy bills and dining costs, according to experts. Analysts said the attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel, and subsequent retaliation across the region, were also likely to slow the pace of US interest rate cuts and curb the rise in Hong Kong housing prices. As military operations in the Middle East entered their fourth day, global oil prices continued to rise on Tuesday, prompting more major financial institutions to revise their forecasts. Goldman Sachs and Barclays had both indicated that Brent crude could reach the US$100-per-barrel mark if tensions escalated further. Advertisement Despite the volatility in global energy markets, experts suggested the spillover effect on Hong Kong’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) might remain contained in the near term, though utility costs and restaurant prices were facing increased pressure. Billy Mak Sui-choi, an associate professor at Baptist University’s department of accountancy, economics and finance, said it was too early to predict a significant surge in local inflation. Advertisement He noted that the largest components of Hong Kong’s CPI – private housing rents and food costs – were not directly linked to crude oil.

Welcome back to the show. James A. Kostohryz: Thank you for having me, Rena. Rena Sherbill: It's great to have you back for those that missed your appearances in it was a year ago just about and prior to that we've had you on a few times for a refresher. You run an investing group on Seeking Alpha called Successful Portfolio Strategy . You have a lot of investing experience. For those that forgot, you've been on before talking about the Iran, Israel, America war, which is specifically why we have you on again today, but also just to get your take on the markets as you see them, would appreciate a reintroduction and thanks for coming back on. James A. Kostohryz: Sure. Well, thanks for having me again, Rena. So to talk about my background and specifically how that background might be useful in this, at this particular time, I've been a global portfolio strategist now for over 20 years. I also happen to have a pretty strong background in the oil and gas industry. In fact, the oil and gas industry was one of the first sectors that I covered as a sell side and then as a buy side analyst. When I worked in the industry institutionally before I went out on my own to do independent work as a global portfolio strategist. And as a global portfolio strategist, I'm very focused on how developments in the global economy will impact the performance of different asset classes and sectors and specific stocks and other securities. And so within that context, every so often we have some sort of geopolitical event or crisis or ...

What Happened? Shares of computer processor maker AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) fell 3.6% in the afternoon session after escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East sparked a surge in oil prices and stoked fears of a wider economic conflict, as Trump warned the conflict could last up to a month. The sell-off was broad, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling by more than 1,000 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each dropped over 2%. Investor anxiety centered on a conflict involving Iran, which reportedly led to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical channel for global oil shipping. The disruption sent oil prices soaring, with international benchmark Brent crude topping $84 a barrel. These higher energy costs are fueling concerns about worsening inflation, which could further pressure households and businesses, and investors are growing worried that a prolonged conflict could inflict sustained damage on the global economy. The shares closed the day at $190.95, down 3.9% from previous close. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy AMD? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. What Is The Market Telling Us AMD’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 34 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock gained 8.5% on the news that the company secured a deal to sell up to US$60 billion in artificial intelligence chips to Meta Platforms over five years. This landmark agreement, which also allows Meta to purchase as much as 10% of the chip firm, is one of the latest blockbuster deals in the artificial intelligence space, signaling massive investment by tech giants. The deal not only highlights the immense demand for speci...

One evening in Tehran in 1980, my grandfather got an anonymous tip that the Islamic Republic of Iran wanted him dead. That night, he, my grandmother and my 15-year-old mother fled their native Iran on a last-minute flight to Heathrow with the help of a forged passport. With two tightly packed suitcases, they made it out. Eventually, my grandfather’s ingenuity allowed them to immigrate to Australia after three years spent in asylum-seeking purgatory in London. Together, my family built a fresh life in Sydney. We survived. But not everyone is so lucky. Celebrations have broken out across Australia, Iran and the world after the Ayatollah’s death– and for good reason. There’s no doubt that Ali Khamenei was the head of one of the most murderous regimes in modern history. From innumerable state-sanctioned executions, torture and imprisonment of innocent civilians to a despotic rewriting of Iran’s state reality and external narrative – all the way to my own family’s exile from their homeland – it is clear that his death is not a tragedy. However, I worry that, for the people of Iran, Trump’s illegal war could be. While I do not speak for the Australian-Iranian diaspora as a whole, I am gravely concerned on a human level for what this attack will cost in innocent lives. We currently sit in the face of a deeply divided Iran and Iranian diaspora, with many traumatised by the violence of this government and desperate for regime change at any cost – while many others feel the direct opposite. However, one thing remains clear: civilians should not be killed. By their government, or by foreign powers violating state sovereignty. For people who live in Iran and have to endure the terror of US-Israeli bombings with limited bomb shelters and a government actively prohibiting their escape and movement – and for all of the diasporic Iranians like myself, whose frantic WhatsApp messages to family remain unread, all while watching helplessly as huge explosions hit major cities – the fea...
