Some Gen Z Americans can't stop 'Chinamaxxing' toggle caption Adek Berry/AFP via Getty Images As relations between the world's two largest economies grow more tense , many young Americans are increasingly adopting what they consider to be Chinese cultural habits. The most enthusiastic among them have come up with a name for this trend: "Chinamaxxing." In this installment of Word of the Week, we examine the internet phenomenon and the geopolitical and social media forces behind it. The term's suffix, "maxxing," is internet slang that means going all in on something. For example, "looksmaxxers" are obsessed with optimizing their appearance, and "healthmaxxers" constantly share tips on improving personal well-being. "Chinamaxxing" can mean drinking hot water instead of iced lattes, wearing house slippers indoors, or embracing traditional Chinese skincare routines. On TikTok and Instagram, users joke that they're entering a "very Chinese time" in their lives. Sponsor Message The trend has been amplified by Chinese diaspora influencers such as Sherry Zhu , who regularly shares herbal skincare recipes and advice on becoming a Chinese "baddie" (a baddie, of course, meaning a confident, attractive woman). What began as niche lifestyle content has since spilled into celebrity PR stunts by the likes of Timothée Chalamet playing ping-pong in Chengdu, and mainstream cultural debates. Part of that shift came after popular livestreamers Hasan Piker and ISHOWSPEED traveled to China last year, broadcasting visits to high-tech megacities like Shanghai and Chongqing to millions of viewers. Their streams, featuring subway systems, dense skylines, and casual street interviews with ordinary people, were wildly popular on both American and Chinese social media. toggle caption Jerod Harris/Getty Images North America In an interview with NPR, Piker framed the appeal of China in generational terms. "Life is just getting worse, year over year," Piker said. "I'm buying the Applebees' cheesebu...

Performance returns for the Fund are total returns, which includes dividends, and are net of management fees and other Fund expenses. Returns are calculated assuming that a shareholder reinvested all distributions. Past performance cannot predict future investment results. The net asset value (NAV) of a closed-end fund is the market value of the underlying investments (i.e., stocks and bonds) in the Fund’s portfolio, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of Fund shares outstanding. However, the Fund also has a market price; the value at which it trades on an exchange. If the market price is above the NAV the Fund is trading at a premium. If the market price is below the NAV the Fund is trading at a discount. Story Continues Performance will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Performance information shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Shareholders must be willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in the value of their investment. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal. Sources of distributions to shareholders may include ordinary dividends, long-term capital gains and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2026 for tax reporting purposes will be made after year end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Based on current estimates a portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholder 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. All data is as of February 28, 2026 unless otherwise noted. View source version on businesswire.com: h...

The company is positioning JVS Claw as part of a broader push to popularize agent-based AI assistants amid rising competition from domestic tech peers.

Snap ( SNAP ) extended its losing streak to the seventh straight session on Friday as the stock ended 1.94% lower at $4.56. The stock has taken severe blows in the past few sessions, ending -4.32% on Thursday and losing 4.29% on Tuesday. In the six previous sessions, SNAP lost nearly 13% compared to a 2.3% drop in the broader markets. Earlier in the day, Ofcom , the communication services regulator in the UK, sent a letter to Facebook, Instagram ( META ), Roblox ( RBLX ), Snapchat ( SNAP ), TikTok ( TIKTOK ), and YouTube ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) asking them to tighten rules to help keep underage children off their platforms. Ofcom said it will report on how the companies have responded and will announce any next steps for regulatory action in May. This comes as several countries explore social media restrictions for kids, amid increasing distrust over the firms’ ability to keep children safe on their platforms. As per Seeking Alpha’s quant rating , the stock has a Hold rating with a score of 2.82 out of 5. SNAP has been rated an A for growth, while it scored a D+ for valuation. Wall Street analysts also held a cautious stance with a Hold rating. However, Seeking Alpha analysts had a Buy call on the stock. Last month, several analysts expressed optimism over the stock following its quarterly results. Snap reported Q4 revenue and earnings beats, supported by strong ad pricing and user growth outside North America. Despite losing 4M daily active users in North America, Snap reported 6% Y/Y global MAU growth in Q4 2025, reaching 946M, Seeking Alpha analyst The Asian Investor noted. “I like the setup here and believe the social media platform could be a major winner in 2026 if the company reaches its 1 billion MAU goal,” it added.

sankai U.S. stocks finished Friday on a subdued note as investors weighed fresh economic data alongside persistent geopolitical concerns, leaving major benchmarks to end lower. Wall Street’s major averages slipped as traders digested the latest readings on personal consumption expenditures inflation and updated GDP figures, both closely watched indicators for assessing the trajectory of the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s potential policy path. At the same time, escalating tensions in the Middle East—particularly around the Strait of Hormuz—continued to add an element of uncertainty to the broader market backdrop. The benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) closed down -0.6%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) also declined -0.9%. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) edged lower as well, ending the session at -0.2%. Despite the cautious tone, some market watchers pointed to signs of technical resilience beneath the surface. “This week the Nasdaq tested its 200-day simple moving average from above, found support there, and closed flat on the week,” Seeking Alpha analyst Alex King of Cestrian Capital Research said. King added that “if you delete the words ‘Hormuz’ and ‘Strait Of’ from your consciousness, you would find that typically such a thing is bullish.” The analyst added that investors should remain focused on actual market behavior rather than narrative-driven fears.

The price of oil has continued to rise in recent days, pushing stock indexes like the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower. As I write this at Wednesday's market close, Brent crude, the international benchmark, is trading at about $93 a barrel, more than $20 higher than its price before the war in Iran began. As a result of spiking energy prices, the Dow turned negative for the year on March 5 and has continued to fall. It's down about 4.5% since the Iran war began and 1.3% in the red for 2026. It shed 289 points on Wednesday. The Dow, one of the most widely quoted stock indexes in the world and one of the oldest (dating to 1896), tracks 30 of the largest U.S. companies and is considered to be a useful indicator of the health of the entire U.S. stock market. Analysts say that spiking crude oil prices will weigh on long-established U.S. companies first -- like those tracked by the Dow -- and then spread to other parts of the stock market. It's not yet clear what can halt the slide in stock indexes. Certainly, a ceasefire or a surrender by the Iranian regime would help, though neither looks likely anytime soon. President Donald Trump, clearly worried about the market's reaction to the ongoing conflict, continues to assert the conflict will end "very soon." Yet, it's telling that Trump's assurances about a near-term end of the war come amid mixed messages on the timeline from both Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. An end to the war may not bring an end to market volatility Even if the war does end soon, there's no guarantee that oil will retreat to its pre-war price or that volatility in energy markets will abate. That's because a peaceful transition to a new regime in Iran is not the most likely post-war scenario, analysts say. More likely is a chaotic environment with various groups fighting to fill the power vacuum, possibly coupled with infighting between Iran's various ethnic groups. J.P. Morgan notes in a recent report that since 19...

Following yet another week spoiled by surging oil prices, investors will be anxiously awaiting relief as the war against Iran by the U.S. and Israel faces a third week. The three major averages suffered a losing week, dropping at least 1% in the period as oil saw even more gains on Friday. Brent crude and U.S. West Texas Intermediate were another roughly 3% higher on the day, pushing their week-to-date advances to more than 11% and more than 8%, respectively. Stocks, meanwhile, set new 2026 lows this week . "The conflict in the Middle East and related headlines are still the major source of fluctuations in markets," said Sameer Samana, head of global equities and real assets at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. "The duration of the closure in the Strait of Hormuz is the key factor and markets will be watching for progress." Traffic in the key Strait of Hormuz passageway – through which about 20% of the world's petroleum consumption passed before the war – has effectively come to a halt in the wake of the war breaking out. This might only continue, as Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has said that it should remain closed as a " tool to pressure the enemy ." Complicating matters further, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC on Thursday that the U.S. Navy is " not ready " to escort tankers through the Strait. Wright did say, however, that the Navy will likely be able to escort them by the end of the month. Brent futures this week settled above $100 per barrel for the first time since August 2022.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images As we wrap up the Q4 earnings season, investors are seemingly looking for any and all reasons to sell off stocks. The ongoing war in the Middle East and the sharp disruption to oil prices, in particular, have driven intense selling pressure over the past few weeks, breaking the momentum of many stocks that had been rising over the past year. Ulta Beauty ( ULTA ), the beauty products and cosmetics retailer, is one of the recent victims. The company just reported mixed Q4 results, leading to a ~10% drop post-earnings. Still, Ulta remains up more than 80% over the past year. The question for investors now is: is Ulta's rally finally breaking, or is now a good time to buy the dip in this momentum stock? Data by YCharts I last wrote a buy rating on Ulta in January, when the stock was trading at $620 per share. I'll cut to the chase here: I certainly wasn't 100% pleased by Ulta's most recent earnings print. While I'll give the company a pass on its perceived weak guidance (the company does have a tendency to start off conservatively), I am eyeing the company's recent margin slippage in Q4 with some apprehension. At the same time, however, I do like the fact that the company continues to gain market share and post strong top-line results, and amid the post-earnings fall to the ~$570s, I think Ulta's valuation remains appropriate relative to its earnings growth potential. I remain cautiously optimistic on this stock and am reiterating my buy rating on this name. Let's address the elephant in the room first: Ulta's guidance for FY26, which is the primary reason the stock fell post-Q4. For FY26, Ulta has guided to 6-7% y/y revenue growth, which contains 2.5-3.5% y/y comp sales growth. As a reminder, comp sales growth measures the revenue growth from existing store locations and is the core growth metric that investors use to look at retail and restaurant companies' health, especially relative to their peers.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT:SCHD) and FIDELITY HIGH DIVIDEND ETF (NYSEMKT:FDVV) differ on cost, recent performance, yield, and sector tilts, with FDVV showing higher recent returns but SCHD maintaining a higher yield. Both funds target U.S. stocks with an income focus, but approach their mandates differently. This comparison looks at how SCHD and FDVV stack up on cost, returns, risk, and portfolio construction to help investors identify which strategy may appeal based on their priorities. Snapshot (cost & size) Metric SCHD FDVV Issuer Schwab Fidelity Expense ratio 0.06% 0.15% 1-yr return (as of 2026-03-11) 11.8% 15.7% Dividend yield 3.3% 2.9% Beta 0.65 0.88 AUM $85.9 billion $8.9 billion Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. FDVV charges a higher expense ratio, which could matter for cost-conscious investors, while SCHD is more affordable. SCHD also offers a higher dividend yield, which may appeal to those focused on income. Performance & risk comparison Metric SCHD FDVV Max drawdown (5 y) -16.86% -20.17% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $1,282 $1,603 What's inside FDVV primarily tilts toward technology (25%), financial services (17%), and consumer cyclical stocks (16%), with 119 holdings as of its ninth year. Its top positions are Nvidia Corp (NVDA 1.56%), Apple Inc (AAPL 2.15%), and Microsoft Corp (MSFT 1.57%), giving it a growth-oriented flavor within the dividend space. There are no notable structural or thematic quirks affecting FDVV’s strategy. By contrast, SCHD has a more defensive posture, emphasizing energy (21%), consumer defensive (19%), and healthcare (16%) stocks. Its top three holdings are Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT 1.03%), Verizon Communications Inc (VZ +1.43%), and Conocophillips (COP +1.51%). This tilt may contribute to SCHD’s lower volatility and higher yield, making it attractive for those seeking stabi...

In trading on Friday, shares of Integra Resources Corp (Symbol: ITRG) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $3.13 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100.

In the case of Integra Resources Corp, the RSI reading has hit 29.7 — by comparison, the universe of metals and mining stocks covered by Metals Channel currently has an average RSI of 38.7, the RSI of Spot Gold is at 11.9, and the RSI of Spot Silver is presently 18.4. A bullish investor could look at ITRG's 29.7 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), ITRG's low point in its 52 week range is $1.05 per share, with $4.87 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $3.15.
