The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday fell by -0.35%. The dollar was under pressure on Friday from a weaker-than-expected US Feb payroll report. Also, a decline in US Jan retail sales added to negative sentiment toward the dollar. Losses in the dollar were limited on Friday as a slump in equity markets boosted some liquidity demand for the dollar. Fed comments on Friday were also supportive of the dollar. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said the Iran war is unlikely to cause sustained inflation, and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack and Boston Fed President Susan Collins expressed their support for keeping interest rates at their current mildly restrictive level "for some time." Join 200K+ Subscribers: US Feb nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly fell by -92,000, weaker than expectations of a +55,000 increase and the biggest decline in four months. The Feb unemployment rate unexpectedly rose +0.1 to 4.4%, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of no change at 4.3%. US Feb average hourly earnings rose +0.4% m/m and +3.8% y/y, stronger than expectations of +0.3% m/m and +3.7% y/y. US Jan retail sales fell -0.2% m/m, a smaller decline than expectations of -0.3% m/m. Jan retail sales ex-autos were unchanged m/m, right on expectations. US Jan consumer credit rose +$8.05 billion, weaker than expectations of +$12.65 billion. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said, "Thinking about monetary policy going forward, the Iran war is unlikely to cause sustained inflation. That's one reason the Fed doesn't look at energy prices but looks at core prices, excluding energy, as core is a better predictor of future inflation." Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said, "Under my base case, I think policy should be on hold for quite some time as we see evidence that inflation is coming down and the labor market stabilizes further." Boston Fed President Susan Collins said, "My baseline features a still-uncertain inflation picture, with continued upside risks. This, combined with recent evi...

Never in the Five and Six Nations history between Ireland and Wales have the scales been so lopsided as they prepared to play in Dublin. When referee Karl Dickson wrapped it up on a beautiful spring night those scales had shifted. Not quite enough to give Wales a win they would have celebrated like a Championship, but enough to leave their hosts as shaken as they were stirred. You couldn’t claim Ireland didn’t deserve to win given their dominance and efficiency in that last quarter of the field, but it was a battle that will force Andy Farrell to revisit the quality of Ireland’s attack. Top of the list for Steve Tandy surely was to get through the opening negotiations without conceding key points. That one went south inside six minutes when Jacob Stockdale chose a perfect line to punish Dan Edwards from close in. If Wales were concerned about the absence of Sam Costelow then that didn’t look good; and if some questioned the presence of Stockdale then that too was good for the winger. That it was his 20th try emphasised his pedigree. It’s hard to know how Wales would have reacted longer term if they had conceded again on 11 minutes when Jack Conan got over. To go 14 points down so quickly would have been a load on their backs. To avoid that second try on a TMO intervention was a lifeline. And how they reacted. What unfolded was a really good contest where Wales defended accurately and persistently, shutting off Ireland’s back-door options, and picking off three points through Edwards at the first opportunity. It was a clear signal of intent from the away team, backed up by huge resistance. It forced Ireland to shift from back door to front door, though it looked as enervating for the carriers as the defenders. At times like that you check the resources on the bench. By half time the picture had changed significantly: 12-10 in Ireland’s favour. Alex Mann had played his part in saving a certain try with a goalline interception at the end of the first quarter, as did Rh...

Nikada/E+ via Getty Images This article will discuss the fundamentals of the apartment REIT sector. A follow-up article will look into the valuation and relative opportunity of the individual apartment REITs. We shall begin with a brief overview of what has transpired in the sector and then follow with an analysis of the fundamental outlook. The boom and the crash The pandemic caused various disruptions to the economy, with one of the most notable being the apartment sector. To keep the economy afloat during the COVID shutdown, two major factors were manipulated: Enormous stimulus Interest rates cut to 0% The stimulus affects the average American more directly and more immediately, while the impacts of interest rates were substantial but lagged. The stimulus was so large that people were awash with money. It also came at a time when businesses were closed due to the pandemic, so there was no entertainment on which to spend. The personal savings rate shot up to an unprecedented level in 2020 and early 2021. FRED Simultaneous with having all this extra money, one’s living space was more important than ever since we were all just stuck at home. People had the capital and the motivation to rent an apartment. Demand was sudden and enormous, causing a 21% increase in national median rental rates. Median rent shot up from under $1200 to over $1400. Apartment List The rental rate peak was in 2022, almost 4 years ago. Apartment List notes that: “national median rent has now fallen from its 2022 peak by a total of 5.9%.” Two factors drastically changed the environment: Consumers ran out of stimulus cash Unmitigated development Stimulus checks are not the same as having an income, and employment took a while to fully bounce back after the pandemic. Some people bit off more than they could chew in terms of renting too nice of apartments for their budget. The historically low vacancy rate in apartments began to surge back up to a more normal level. At first, the higher vacancy w...

Getty Images Shares of MiniMed Group, Inc. ( MMED ) have been trading lower after it went public, as the public reception of the diabetes business of Medtronic ( MDT ) has been very soft. While the company claims a leading role in diabetes and posts solid growth, the company is unable to realistically break even here, making it very difficult to build conviction here, even if sales multiples are relatively modest. Make Days Better For People With Diabetes MiniMed was founded back in 1983 based on the idea that technology could do the work of the pancreas. The idea was to make diabetes care wearable, consumer-focused, and life-changing, to thereby automate the parts that are the hardest in managing the disease. The company stood at the basis of the first continuous glucose monitor and the first wearable insulin pump. The business has been part of Medtronic for the past quarter of a century, which has decided to spin off this business as MiniMed, a pure play on the full ecosystem of automated insulin pumps, monitors, and insulin pens. Such solutions are key, as insulin patients have huge mental stress, with burdens spreading to financial, physical, and emotional. Even highly disciplined patients have many hundreds of decisions to make every day, often resulting in glucose variability, impacting their health. To help them, the holy grail of the industry is to deliver on automated insulin delivery to both reduce the burden on these patients while improving their health outcomes. Basically, this replaces the cruise control functionality in cars. With nearly 600 million people across the globe seen as having the disease, either type 1 or 2, that makes the addressable market huge, pegged at some $18 billion each year, according to the S-1 linked above. The company aims to service these markets with its MiniMed 780G, with the company claiming that it has the highest pump satisfaction in the US, with some 640,000 users making use of its products.

JasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images With my analysis mainly focused on the tech sector, it actually comes as a surprise to me that I haven't yet covered HP Inc. ( HPQ ). Better late than never, as I will initiate coverage today. As you can see in the chart below, the market hasn't been kind to the stock lately. After the latest bout of declines, HP is now down 32% in the past 52 weeks, and so judging by the stock's performance, the company seems to be seeing weakness perhaps due to headwinds or other pressures. HP reported earnings not long ago in late February and so today I will be providing an in depth analysis on their fundamentals. Seeking Alpha Below, it is shown that the company may be staring down a triple whammy. Tariffs have created a double whammy as consumer confidence in the U.S. has been eroded and the company's costs have been pushed higher. In addition to that, HP will have to deal with memory cost headwinds moving forward and so there are three very material pressures on their performance. Why is the stock still potentially a good buy? Well, the company has some long term drivers like the PC upgrade cycle, their capital returns are very attractive for investors, and the valuation is simply too depressed right now. As a result, I'm initiating HP stock at a Buy rating despite an unfavorable environment in the near term. Growth Accelerates HP Q1 Presentation Let's start today with a look at their top line performance . After seeing how poorly the stock has performed recently, it was a bit of a pleasant surprise that revenue growth actually accelerated for the company in both reported and constant currency terms. In their FY2026 Q1, HP generated total revenues of $14.4 billion, up 6.9% or 5.2% in CC. The reported growth rate strengthened from Q4's 4.2% while the CC growth rate accelerated from 3.8% and so it seems that their business activity is actually still heading in the right direction. Personally, I find this to be quite encouraging with ...

Mills: Trump Admin "Reveling In The Carnage" As Tehran Burns Last night, Bret Weinstein joined ZeroHedge to moderate a debate on the Iran war featuring Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative (magazine founded by Pat Buchanan), and Max Abrahms, Northeastern University professor and terrorism expert. The discussion went far and wide. From Chabad to whether the war has strengthened Iranian hardliners to the question of Israeli influence over U.S. policy to how this war affects Russia-Ukraine. Below are some of the most notable exchanges for those who missed it: Can Trump Wrangle Israel? Abrahms argued that claims Israel dictates U.S. policy ignore numerous cases where Washington has acted against Israeli preferences. He pointed to the influence of Tom Barrack, Trump’s ambassador to Turkey who is “absolutely reviled by many Israelis,” and policies such as ending sanctions on Syria, inviting the new Syrian president to the White House, and cultivating close ties with Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey’s Erdoğan. On Gaza, Abrahms said Donald Trump “told Netanyahu, you need to stop prosecuting this war against Hamas,” adding that even critics like Steve Bannon acknowledge Trump has been “telling [Israelis] what they can and cannot do.” Abrahms also cited last June’s “12-day war” with Iran, saying Israel wanted to continue strikes but Trump intervened. “Israel had planes over Tehran and Trump said, ‘I don’t like this’... Literally in the skies over Tehran, the Israeli planes were sent home.” Mills rejected the framing. “It’s an archetypal straw man.” Conceding that the administration has taken steps “certain people in Israel… don’t prefer,” Mills argued the larger objective remains unchanged: “The holy grail of the Israeli hardline and neoconservatives… has for a long time been an Iran war… and they just got it done.” pic.twitter.com/6W8QWlFgEN — ZeroHedge Debates (@zerohedgeDebate) March 6, 2026 Tucker And “The Jews” Abrahms accused Tucker Carlson of blaming ...

Crypto transaction revenue is a bit more volatile. This part of the business was down by 38% year over year in the fourth quarter but up by more than 300% in the third. The performance of Robinhood's crypto segment depends heavily on crypto price movements and how investors feel about the alternative asset. Even with sluggish crypto activity, Robinhood still delivered 15% year-over-year revenue growth. If investors exclude a $424 million tax benefit recorded in the 2024 fourth quarter, it also boosted its net income.
