Lea en español Argentina’s unemployment rate rose to 7.5% at the end of last year, the highest fourth-quarter reading since the Covid-19 pandemic, as job losses worsened before Javier Milei ’s administration passed a historic labor reform last month. The jobless rate in Argentina’s formal sector jumped for the first time in three quarters as informal employment held steady at about 43% of the employed population, according to data published Wednesday. Argentina’s formal private sector has lost over 200,000 salaried jobs, or about 3% of its total, since Milei took office. His administration has also cut several thousand government jobs, but the unemployment rate hasn’t jumped consistently during his tenure partly due to an increase in freelance and informal workers, according to a separate set of official data. Milei notched his biggest legislative victory in February when Congress passed a watered-down version of his labor reform that eases the rules and costs around hiring, firing and severance, among a series of other technical changes. While markets applauded the reform, economists warn it’s unlikely to quickly translate into job gains as economic activity sputters, consumer spending remains down and labor-intensive industries are struggling to compete as Milei opens up the economy.

Getty Images Howmet Aerospace Inc. ( HWM ) has a growing market opportunity across the aerospace & defense and industrial markets, led by increasing demand for aircraft deliveries and gas turbine manufacturing driven by heightened electricity demand. With a tight supply market for the niche products Howmet manufactures, I believe the firm should continue to realize margin-accretive growth over the coming years, supported by strong market dynamics and limited competition. Given the appealing market environment, I am recommending HWM shares with a Buy rating with a price target of $318/share at 34.25x eFY'28 EV/aEBITDA. Howmet Aerospace Operational Update Corporate Filings Howmet has found itself in a peculiar position with market demand outstripping its manufacturing capacity, a phenomenon that has been a common tone unique to the AI market in recent years. Rather than AI standing for artificial intelligence, aerospace & industrials are leading the way for heightened demand for Howmet’s hardened, lightweight alloys. As a result of heightened backlogs amongst the aerospace OEMs, Howmet is positioned to drive growth through capacity expansion to keep up with demand. According to the IATA , the commercial aircraft fleet currently stands at roughly 35,550, with the average age nearing 15 years, up from a multi-decade low of 13 years in 2017. As a result of supply chain disruptions during COVID-19 and Boeing’s ( BA ) operational challenges, there is currently a 5,284 aircraft supply gap, with the market not expected to normalize until 2034. IATA As a result of the tight supply chain for aircraft manufacturing, I believe Howmet may also realize an appealing market environment for maintenance, repair, and overhaul [MRO] work, which I expect will also be a tight market over the coming years, as suggested in my report covering StandardAero ( SARO ). MRO is similar to OEM with respect to engine repair as well as aftermarket engine manufacturing as offered by companies like AAR...

Costa Rica closed its embassy in Cuba citing attacks on free speech and a deteriorating economy that has made it difficult to find basic goods. The Central American nation also asked Cuba to reciprocate and close its embassy in San Jose, leaving only consulate personnel to handle visas, Costa Rican Foreign Affairs Minister Arnoldo Andre Tinoco told reporters Wednesday. “Closing the embassy is a firm signal of concern, and an invitation for significant change that allows for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations,” Tinoco said. “There have been a significant worsening of restrictions on fundamental freedoms including limits on free speech and peaceful protest.” Tinoco said that worsening economic conditions on the island have made it difficult to find food and medicine and access basic services. US President Donald Trump has stepped up pressure on the island’s communist government, enforcing an oil embargo that has led to nationwide blackouts amid a dwindling fuel supply. Other governments including Guatemala and Honduras said they would stop using Cuban doctors and health care workers , depriving the island of a source of revenue and foreign currency. The Cuban government said it is in talks with Washington amid the mounting pressure.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Written by Nick Ackerman, co-produced by Stanford Chemist The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Opportunity Fund ( ETV ) has delivered strong total returns since our prior update . ETV Performance Since Prior Update (Seeking Alpha) This is a closed-end fund that provides monthly distributions, which are helped funded by its call writing strategy. The fund writes call options against the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Indexes, rolling the trades roughly every two weeks. By writing shorter dated call options, they can adjust the strike price more regularly. That can sometimes help to ease the downside of writing calls, which is the upside cap that they often can run into during strong bull market runs. With this fund, they overwrite their portfolio at nearly 100%. The fund is also currently trading at a relatively attractive discount compared to its historical level, which can make it an appealing time to consider adding to or making an initial investment. At the same time, with equities more broadly near record highs, it is worthwhile to weigh on just how aggressive one may want to get with adding. We've been spoiled for a while now, with not experiencing any significant pullback in equities for almost a year. ETV Basics 1-Year Z-score: -0.31 Discount/Premium: -6.69% Distribution Yield: 8.14% Expense Ratio: 1.08% Leverage: N/A Managed Assets: $1.832 billion Structure: Perpetual ETV's investment objective is to "provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation." To achieve this, the fund will invest "in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and writes call options on one or more U.S. indices on a substantial portion of the value of its common stock portfolio to seek to generate current earnings from the option premium." Performance - Discount And Comparisons The fund had a long stretch of time when it would trade at a premium regularly. Those glory days may not ever come back again, as new call writin...
