China, the world’s largest buyer of Gulf oil, is now being forced to weigh its economic reliance on stable energy routes against its tradition of non‑interference in diplomacy, according to observers. While Beijing is eager to host Trump for a strategically important summit later this month, observers said China was unwilling to be seen as yielding to pressure and being drawn into a US-led military intervention, or allowing the visit to be used as leverage. Advertisement In a Sunday interview with the Financial Times, the US leader explicitly tied his planned visit to China, the first of his second term, to Beijing’s cooperation in reopening the Strait of Hormuz “It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump said in the interview, echoing his call a day earlier demanding that US allies and Beijing send warships to the key shipping route, through which about 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply flows. Advertisement Oil prices have surged past US$100 per barrel , with the number of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz falling to zero on Saturday for the first time since US and Israeli military operations against Iran began two weeks ago. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs pushed back against Trump’s threat on Monday, reiterating its call for de-escalation in the Middle East while stressing the “irreplaceable” role of head‑of‑state diplomacy and underscoring the importance Beijing attached to Trump’s planned trip.

Draped in garlands, Bhumika Shrestha on Monday became Nepal ’s first transgender woman lawmaker, marking a proud milestone for the marginalised community in the Himalayan nation. Nepal’s Election Commission confirmed the 37-year-old as a proportional representation MP from the centrist Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which won a majority in parliament with 182 seats last week. “I am very excited but also feel the responsibility on my shoulders,” said Shrestha, an LGBTQ rights advocate. Advertisement “Our constitution has provisions for our community but they have not translated to laws and policies. Our community expects me to raise our issues [in parliament].” Bhumika Shrestha receives garlands from other LGBTQ members at a Blue Diamond Society event on Monday.

Today, I’m talking with Jim Lanzone, who is the CEO of Yahoo. It’s basically impossible to sum up the Yahoo story, but the short version of it is that a long time ago Yahoo paid Google to run the search box on its website, and basically everything has gone sideways since. You’ll hear Jim refer to that deal as Yahoo’s original sin, actually. After a long series of mergers and spinouts and an extremely odd moment where it was part of Verizon, Yahoo is once again an independent, privately held company. And it has big properties in sports and finance, and, against all odds, email, where it’s growing with young people. Gen Z loves Yahoo Mail, people. You heard it here first. All of that means Yahoo is profitable and growing, according to Jim, but I still had some big questions about where that growth is going. Yahoo is still the third-place search engine and it just launched a new AI-powered search called Scout, but are they really trying to take market share from Google? Is the big investment in traditional advertising a good bet when creators and influencers are taking up so much attention? And with so much of both sports and finance turning into straight-up gambling, does Jim have any red lines he won’t cross with two of the biggest apps on the internet? Verge subscribers, don’t forget you get exclusive access to ad-free Decoder wherever you get your podcasts. Head here . Not a subscriber? You can sign up here . There’s a lot in this one, including some wild Decoder org chart terminology and what amounts to two people with a long history on the internet trying to come up with ever deeper references to old memes. It’s a ride, and Jim was pretty much game. Jim was also a huge nerd about ad tech, and we used a lot of vocabulary talking about his decision to shut down part of Yahoo’s ad business and invest in the part that’s growing. Here’s a quick rundown — feel free to come back to this if it’s too wonky, I promise you’ll get it, it’s not that hard. A supply-side platfo...
Joint demonstration with Broadcom validates next-generation link layer technologies at full 800GE line rate SANTA ROSA, Calif., March 16, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc.

Joint demonstration with Broadcom validates next-generation link layer technologies at full 800GE line rate SANTA ROSA, Calif., March 16, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced it has achieved the industry’s first public interoperability demonstration of Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) specification with Link Layer Retry (LLR) and Credit-Based Flow Control (CBFC) at 800GE line rate, in collaboration with Broadcom at OFC 2026. Traditional Ethernet architectures are increasingly strained by the massive east-west traffic, congestion sensitivity and tail latency requirements of large AI clusters. As hyperscalers and enterprises scale AI infrastructure, next-generation link layer capabilities such as LLR and CBFC are becoming critical to maintaining network efficiency, resiliency and predictable performance. The milestone highlights Keysight’s growing role in enabling validation and performance assurance for AI scale-up and scale-out networks, where next-generation Ethernet capabilities are becoming critical to cluster efficiency and reliability. The live demonstration features interoperability between Keysight’s Interconnect and Network Performance Tester and Broadcom’s Tomahawk Ultra Ethernet switch, operating at full 800GE line rate. LLR enables local error recovery and reduces tail latency. CBFC enables link layer flow control. These capabilities are increasingly required to support large-scale AI workloads. Keysight is a key contributor within the UEC and is active in the emerging Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking (ESUN) ecosystem supporting the newly released 1.0 specification, helping define validation methodologies for advanced link layer capabilities. Early interoperability efforts such as this demonstration are designed to accelerate ecosystem readiness and support adoption of the standard. The successful interoperability with Broadcom’s Tomahawk Ultra Ethernet switch represents an important step toward production-ready U...

Investors may be underestimating the extent to which the Iran war can trigger global economic turbulence, according to Bank of America Securities global economist Antonio Gabriel . “While a quick resolution to the conflict is certainly a possibility, we view the conflict extending into the second quarter as an equally likely outcome, and a more protracted war cannot be ruled out,” Gabriel wrote in a Monday note. “However, markets seem to be pricing a largely transitory shock.” The S&P 500 Index has only fallen some 4% from its record high, which Gabriel sees as evidence that investors are relatively sanguine about the war — even as inflation concerns push traders to curb their views on how much the Federal Reserve will cut rates this year. Dip-buyers appeared to step in on Monday, with the benchmark index recently up around 1% as oil prices slid. “In our view, markets are focusing mostly on inflation, while more disruptive scenarios for global growth may be underpriced,” Gabriel wrote. With the trajectory of the war far from certain, Wall Street is scrambling to determine how the conflict will ultimately impact equities. For now, strategists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley remain upbeat on stocks , pointing to support from earnings growth and less-inflated valuations. Still, markets are “a bit complacent ” on the war, according to Stephen Parker , co-head of global investment strategy at JPMorgan Private Bank. Meanwhile at RBC Capital Markets, Global Commodity Strategy Head Helima Croft raised her estimated run time for the conflict and its impact on oil prices. “Expanded US war aims as well as Iranian asymmetric capabilities and desire to restore deterrence could prolong the conflict well into the spring,” she wrote. “We believe that we will exceed the Russia/Ukraine oil price highs of $128/barrel in 2022 if the war continues for another three to four weeks with minimal progress on maritime security, and that we will surpass the 2008 peak of $146/bar...

Representative Image Why this withdrawal of the proposed AI chip rule is big relief for AMD and Nvidia The United States Department of Commerce has withdrawn a proposed rule on artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The proposed rule would’ve restricted American chip companies like Nvidia, AMD and Intel from exporting chips without US approval. According to an update posted on the Office of Management and Budget website (seen by Bloomberg), the interagency review of the proposed regulation has concluded, and the measure will not move forward.The draft rule, which has now been withdrawn, had proposed tighter oversight of global shipments of advanced AI chips produced by companies such as Nvidia and AMD. The proposal had earlier been reported by Bloomberg and was seen as part of a broader attempt to define the Trump administration’s approach to global chip exports after replacing a regulatory framework introduced during the Biden Administration.Earlier, a US official from the Trump Administration told Bloomberg that the proposal remained a draft and that discussions around it were preliminary.If the rule had come into effect, the US would have introduced a tiered approval system based on the computing power of chips exported for AI training and development. Companies purchasing larger volumes of advanced chips could have faced additional requirements, including commitments from their governments to support AI capacity in the United States.The now-abandoned proposal from the Trump Administration would have given the Commerce Department’s licensing office a role in reviewing, on a case-by-case basis, exports of AI chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices.According to the report, approvals under the proposal would have depended on several factors, including government-to-government agreements and the level of computing power requested by each end user.Responding to the previous Bloomberg report, the US Department of Commerce said last week that “we will not” return to t...

Oracle's (ORCL) current run seems more substantial than a normal "post-earnings pop." The company, which announced fiscal third-quarter results on March 10, demonstrated its ability to grow much faster than investors have become accustomed to while maintaining profitability at the same time. This is a big deal for a company that, until now, was more of a mature enterprise software stock than a true winner in the AI infrastructure space. Oracle reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $17.2 billion, a 22% increase from the prior year, as well as a 21% increase in non-GAAP EPS to $1.79. The company's cloud revenue came in at $8.9 billion, with cloud infrastructure revenue increasing 84%. This is the context for D.A. Davidson's Gil Luria, who maintains a positive view on the company's stock. ORCL stock may not be the only one benefiting from the current market volatility, as the company's latest quarter provided investors with what they had been waiting a very long time for: hard evidence that the current AI-driven demand trend is indeed accelerating revenue growth. The more important point, however, is that the company's management did deliver a good quarter and raised its fiscal 2027 revenue estimate to $90 billion. About Oracle Stock Oracle is a leading company in the field of enterprise software, databases, and cloud infrastructure. The company, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, currently boasts a market capitalization of around $457.3 billion, which makes it a mega-cap stock. Although Oracle still makes a lot of sense as a database company, the question on investors' minds is whether Oracle Cloud can become a true large-scale AI compute platform. Currently, with ORCL stock trading at around $155.60, it is still quite a way off its 52-week high of $345.72, even with its recent bounce following earnings results. This places ORCL in a rather interesting position. While ORCL stock has risen by 3.5% in the last five trading days, it has still been a rather more ...

(0:15) Alibaba prepares enterprise AI agents launch . (1:38) Record number of companies mention AI on earnings calls. (2:09) This is an abridged transcript of the podcast: Our top story so far, wealthy investors sought to pull more than $10B from some of the largest private credit funds in the first quarter , forcing managers to limit redemptions and threatening one of Wall Street’s fastest-growing businesses. The FT reports that funds run by Blackstone ( BX ), BlackRock ( BLK ), Cliffwater, Morgan Stanley ( MS ) and Monroe Capital agreed to honor roughly 70% of the $10.1B in redemption requests received so far. More withdrawals are expected in coming weeks as Ares ( ARES ), Apollo ( APO ), Blue Owl ( OWL ), Oaktree and Goldman Sachs ( GS ) tally their figures. Retail credit funds ballooned from $34B at the end of 2021 to $222B by the end of last year, according to Goldman Sachs. That growth has now reversed, and Goldman expects the sector could shrink by $45B to $70B over the next two years. Morningstar analyst Jack Shannon put it bluntly: “They will chase performance. They will leave the moment they sense danger.” CT Fitzpatrick of Vulcan Value Partners told the FT, “The air has come out of the balloon.” From flood of inflows to gates on the exits — private credit is hearing an echo it hasn’t heard before. Among active stocks, Dollar Tree ( DLTR ) is trading choppy after better-than-expected quarterly results were offset by cautious guidance. The discount retailer sees adjusted EPS of $1.45 to $1.60 on revenue of $4.9B to $5.0B. The midpoints — $1.52 and $4.95B — came in slightly below consensus estimates of $1.56 and $4.97B. Comparable sales are expected to rise 3% to 4. Alibaba ( BABA ) is preparing to launch an enterprise-focused agentic AI service as soon as this week. Bloomberg reports...

Nvidia GPU chips have been the preferred platform for artificial-intelligence computing since 2012, and the company’s March GTC conference is an opportunity to maintain that lead by showcasing the next generation of hardware.

Meta (META) stock rose as much as 3% on Monday after the company signed a cloud-computing deal with Nebius (NBIS), worth as much as $27 billion, and is reportedly considering its largest layoffs in several years. On Monday, Dutch AI data center company Nebius (NBIS) agreed to sell Meta $12 billion in computing capacity starting in 2027, providing Meta with access to Nvidia's (NVDA) Vera Rubin platform. Meta has also committed to purchasing up to $15 billion in additional compute capacity that Nebius has reserved for third-party customers over a five-year period. Nebius stock jumped over 12% on Monday, adding to its 30% gain over the past month amid several landmark AI deals. Last week, Nvidia disclosed it would invest $2 billion in Nebius to deploy more than 5 gigawatts of data center capacity by the end of 2030. Read more about Meta's stock moves and today's market action. A report from Reuters over the weekend that Meta is planning sweeping layoffs also lifted shares on Monday. According to three sources cited by Reuters, Meta is exploring laying off up to 20% of its workforce to help defray the costs of its AI infrastructure build-out. The date and extent of the layoffs have yet to be finalized, according to Reuters. If Meta follows through with the plans, it would mark its largest restructuring since what CEO Mark Zuckerberg dubbed the "year of efficiency" in late 2022 and early 2023. At that time, the company let go of 21,000 employees in a four-month period. The reported layoffs come as Meta has spent billions on its artificial intelligence build-out. In 2026, the company forecast spending between $115 billion and $135 billion on AI, up from $72.22 billion in 2025. A significant portion of its capital expenditures has gone toward its Superintelligence Labs, including the development of in-house chips to meet demand for artificial intelligence. Meta has also spent billions on splashy hires, such as bringing on Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang as its chief AI officer...

Seating technology may have reached its peak for those of us who struggle to keep our lightly worn clothing piles away from furniture. The Laundry Chair — developed by YouTuber and viral inventor Simone Giertz — is now available to buy through a Kickstarter campaign, providing a storage solution that still functions as a usable seat when it’s covered in clothes that are too clean to wash, but too dirty to put away. The $1,100 Laundry Chair includes a rotating rail that can swivel around the seat on a ball-bearing Lazy Susan, allowing laundry to be slung over it without covering the armrests or seating pad. The chair also features a solid hardwood frame and comes with green cotton corduroy upholstery, with a second color option expected in the future. Discounts of up to $200 are available for early backers of the crowdfunding launch, with deliveries estimated for November 2026. The project initially started life as a prototype that Giertz built for a YouTube video in 2024 before deciding to bring it to market via her Yetch product brand. “I made the Laundry Chair because I was tired of staring at my pile of half-dirty clothes.” Giertz said in the press release. “So I decided to make a chair that’s actually built for the job.” The Lazy Susan-style rail can be swung around to make clothes easier to hang, and then partially conceal them behind the backrest. GIF by Simone Giertz / Yetch The moving rail serves several purposes. It makes it easier to stack clothes and then partially conceal that messy view behind the back of the chair for one, but also allows semi-worn fabric to breathe better than it would in a crumpled pile or stored away, helping to reduce moisture, wrinkles, and smells. Giertz has experimented with other rotating furniture solutions too, like this coffee table that doubles as an ottoman, and has previously launched clothes hangers that fold to fit into shallow spaces on her Yetch webstore. “No piles. No unusable chairs. No pretending you’ll deal with i...
