Trump Ready To Raise "Core Of China's Core Interests" In Xi Summit: Daily Schedule & What To Expect Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to raise the issue of increasingly costly US arms transfers to Taiwan during their bilateral summit at the end of this week, spanning Thursday through Friday. Taiwan of course remains the "core of China's core interests" - as Beijing has in the recent past characterized the issue . While Trump officials have previewed that it will be focused on trade and investment, the White House too is reportedly placing Taiwan and regional geopolitical hot button issues on the agenda. "I'm going to have that discussion with President Xi," Trump told reporters at the White House, specifically on the question of weapons sales. "President Xi would like us not to, and I’ll have that discussion. That's one of the many things I’ll be talking about." via Reuters Also there's the looming question of the future of the Iran war and blockaded Strait of Hormuz. Currently there's a stalemated situation and supposed ceasefire which is barely holding. By many accounts, Trump was hopeful that the Iran 'excursion' would be wrapped up by now, but it now seems to be sliding into protracted quagmire - critics point out. The WSJ says that Beijing is feeling confident as it prepares to receive Trump and what's looking to be a rather large entourage : But behind the scenes, Beijing feels more emboldened, and more insistent on defending areas it regards as vital to its long-term strategic interests. These include resisting U.S. pressure to relax its grip over global supply chains and fundamentally rebalance trade between the two countries. They also include urging Washington to look the other way as it pressures Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its own, and as it projects military power across Asia. “They feel very well about how last year played out,” said Jonathan Czin, a fellow at the Washington-based Brookings Institution and a former U.S. ...

sharply_done/E+ via Getty Images Matador Resources ( MTDR ) up 1.4% in Tuesday's trading as Truist upgraded the oil and gas company to Buy from Hold with a $67 price target, raised from $60, believing the shares at current levels represent an attractive entry for small-to-midcap leverage following strong Q1 earnings to "the best basin in the Lower 48 with strong inventory depth, a growing base dividend, and an aligned management team." Matador ( MTDR ) stands out as having built a formidable Delaware Basin position that now stands at 212.5K net acres with ~1,600 gross locations, providing an attractive 12 years of inventory depth, among the highest of oily smid-caps and warranting a higher multiple, alongside a 17.3K net acre position in the Haynesville/Cotton Valley, Truist analyst Gabe Daoud said. On Matador's ( MTDR ) Q1 earnings conference call , management said the company will remain patient with the potential to accelerate some TILs this year given efficiencies, but otherwise it will continue with its "profitable growth at a measured pace" mantra, while noting continued progress in Q1 by leveraging electric and hybrid-electric fracturing fleets, increased simul- and trimul-fracs, increased water recycling, and operational AI-integration maintaining well cost guidance of $785-$805/ft, among the lowest in the Delaware Basin.

CME Launching Futures Market For AI Compute US derivatives exchange CME Group and index provider Silicon Data have teamed up to create a futures market for computing power, a key source driving the AI boom. Bloomberg reports that the futures will help traders, financial firms, AI builders and cloud providers manage volatility and price swings . Indexes from market-intelligence firm Silicon Data will help underpin the products. The project is still pending regulatory review. “As the backbone of the digital economy, compute is the new oil of the 21st century,” CME CEO Terry Duffy said in the statement. “Every AI model trained, every transaction cleared and every byte of data processed runs on compute, which is becoming a fast-emerging asset class in its own right.” CME’s addition of compute futures signals a broader shift to make the asset tradable like other commodities . Creating a futures market can help make the costs more transparent and raise overall market efficiency. Computing power, better known as "compute", has seen soaring demand as AI companies use it to power their systems. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said last week that a new asset class will likely be buying futures of compute given the shortage and high demand. Futures contracts, which give investors the ability to bet on the future value of a commodity such as oil or metals at a certain date, are traded on exchanges such as Chicago-based CME’s, and require a brokerage account that’s approved to trade futures. The need for compute power has been growing as AI technologies have scaled. But until now, it’s been difficult to hedge against price swings and other costs. The index from Silicon Data, which is backed by trading firm DRW Holdings, provides a benchmark for traders and others to follow, giving insight into the cost of goods for those building AI products or in need of graphics processing unit computing power. Silicon Data, founded by former DRW trader Carmen Li, created daily GPU benchmarks for on-...

Acadia Healthcare ( ACHC ) and Centene ( CNC ) were pitched as long ideas by Greenlight's David Einhorn at the Sohn Investment conference in New York City on Tuesday. Einhorn also pitched Fluor Corp. ( FLR ) as a long at the charity conference. The hedge funder also pitched Versant Media ( VSNT ) and Victoria's Secret ( VSCO ) as long ideas at the conference. Greenlight initiated a new medium-sized position in Versant ( VSNT ), which was recently spun off from Comcast ( CMCSA ) and owns channels like MS Now, CNBC and USA Network, according to Greenlight's Q1 letter viewed by Seeking Alpha last month. "While the legacy cable business faces ongoing cord-cutting, over 60% of its programming is tied to live news and events, which we believe is more resistant to subscriber losses than other entertainment categories," Greenlight wrote last month. Shares of Centene ( CNC ) rose 5%, Acadia Healthcare ( ACHC ) advanced 3.2%, Versant fell 2.8% and Victoria's Secret ( VSCO ) was unchanged, --with reporting by Rob Williams in New York.
