It’s been a bumpy ride for investors. After a week of volatility across asset classes, financial markets were steady on Friday as traders wait to see how the war plays out over the weekend — an escalation, a sense of resolution, or more of the same.

It’s been a bumpy ride for investors. After a week of volatility across asset classes, financial markets were steady on Friday as traders wait to see how the war plays out over the weekend — an escalation, a sense of resolution, or more of the same. After surging to as high as $119 a barrel on Thursday, Brent crude traded around $108 per barrel. MSCI’s Asian stock benchmark was 0.4% lower, while European equities edged higher after tumbling the previous session. S&P 500 futures were up 0.1%. Markets were buoyed after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the nation will no longer target energy infrastructure, leading to optimism his country and Iran will step back from the brink of destroying key energy facilities. Netanyahu also said Israeli forces would help the US attempt to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and that the war would be over faster than people think. Still, the war continues to rage. Iran pressed ahead with attacks on Arab states in the Persian Gulf. Kuwait shut several units at its Al Ahmadi refinery after multiple strikes. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia said they intercepted missiles and drones overnight into Friday, while Bahrain reported a fire at a warehouse. Israel said it struck infrastructure across Iran, including Tehran. More than 4,200 people across the region have died since the war began. In another sign the conflict may be protracted, the Pentagon is said to have asked Congress for an additional $200 billion to pay for the war. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth downplayed concerns of a potential quagmire and said the US was “on plan” with its war goals. Investors can only wait to see how the next phase of the war plays out. What You Need to Know Today The European Central Bank will need to consider hiking interest rates as soon as next month if price pressures build further due to the Iran war, according to Governing Council member Joachim Nagel. “As things currently stand, it is conceivable that the medium-term inflation o...

The housing market continues to face significant headwinds. Mortgage rates remain high, which is impacting affordability. Making matters worse, growing concerns about AI's impact on jobs and the war in Iran are making potential buyers even more cautious. These headwinds are affecting home sales. Leading homebuilder Lennar (LEN 1.09%)(LENB 0.73%) reported declining deliveries and profits in its fiscal first quarter. That has weighed on its stock price, which is down by more than a third from its 52-week high. Here's a look at whether investors should buy the dip in the housing stock. The challenges continue Lennar reported $229 million, or $0.93 per share, of net earnings in its fiscal 2026 first quarter. That's down from $520 million, or $1.96 per share, in the year-ago period. Its deliveries declined 5% year over year to 16,863 homes as persistent headwinds weighed on demand. The company's average selling price was $374,000 during the period, down from $408,000 in the year-ago period. Lennar has had to adjust prices and heavily incentivize buyers to maintain volume amid continued affordability issues. As a result, its net margin fell to 5.3%, down from 10.2% in the year-ago period. Lennar's strategy has been to actively design homes with affordability in mind rather than waiting out the challenging market conditions. Executive Chairman and Co-CEO Stuart Miller noted in the earnings press release, "We have focused on prioritizing volume to create durable scale advantages, delivering that volume at lower prices, and ultimately improving margins."

Abivax (ABVX 0.73%) and Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR +2.39%) aren't well-known companies, and they don't have track records of profitability yet. That's natural, as both are clinical-stage biotechs -- they don't have any approved drugs on the market yet. However, both are developing novel therapies with blockbuster potential, and both could be worthwhile stocks to own. Abivax is down by around 10% this year, while Nektar is up by about 77%. Here are three reasons to consider buying each stock. Abivax 1. A potential blockbuster in obefazimod French biotech Abivax is developing therapies for chronic inflammatory diseases. Its lead candidate is obefazimod, which is being tested to treat ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and other conditions. The oral therapy is in a phase 3 trial to treat moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. The company expects to publish top-line data from that trial in the second quarter; if the drug continues to perform as hoped, Abivax would be on its way to getting its first therapy approved by regulators, and one that could eventually be useful in multiple indications. The drug is also in a phase 2b trial for Crohn's disease, with top-line results expected in the fourth quarter. Abivax could easily become a blockbuster. According to one study, the ulcerative colitis market alone will be worth $8.7 billion in 2026 but is forecast to grow to $14.3 billion by 2035. 2. Possible buyout bids Though its shares are down so far in 2026, they're up by more than 1,900% over the past year. That surge began when it reported excellent clinical trial results for obefazimod last summer, and got added momentum from rumors that pharma giant Eli Lilly was interested in purchasing Abivax. More recently, there has been talk that AstraZeneca is also considering a bid. Abivax has denied the AstraZeneca rumors, but if it does get purchased by a larger company, the deal would certainly be at a premium to the current share price. Expand NASDAQ : ABVX Abivax S...

1. China has passed its second major statutory code, the Ecological and Environmental Code, following the Civil Code. This new code was approved during the fourth session of the 14th National People’s Congress on March 12 and will take effect on August 15. Its legislative process began in November 2023 and, over two and a half years, culminated in a law that legal scholars regard as innovative and globally significant [para. 1][para. 2][para. 3]. 2. The Ecological and Environmental Code is described as the world’s first legislation of its kind, consolidating over 30 existing environmental laws, hundreds of administrative regulations, and more than a thousand local rules. It goes beyond conventional pollution and resource legislation by introducing a standalone section focused on green and low-carbon development, thus balancing the need for environmental protection against economic growth—a legal framework considered unique globally [para. 4][para. 5][para. 6]. 3. Integrating disparate laws posed significant legislative challenges. Lawmakers used a “moderate codification” model, grouping existing laws and merging or retaining them as appropriate. For instance, pollution and resource laws were absorbed, while specialized issues like climate change were addressed through forward-looking guidelines. This approach led to a dual-source legal structure—“code plus standalone laws”—whose practical effectiveness is yet to be seen [para. 7][para. 8][para. 9][para. 10]. 4. Implementing the new code will require comprehensive revision of existing regulations and judicial processes. China’s judiciary, including the Supreme People’s Court, is preparing supporting legal interpretations to standardize enforcement when the code comes into effect [para. 11]. 5. The code’s development is rooted in decades of ecological legislation, with a rapid expansion of environmental laws since the 1970s. By 2024, China had 36 specialized environmental laws, over 150 administrative regulations, and...
