财联社3月20日讯（编辑 牛占林） 国际能源署(IEA)最新表示，为应对美以对伊战争带来的能源价格飙升以及迫在眉睫的燃料短缺问题，消费者可通过减少出行等方式缓解成本压力，包括居家办公和尽量避免航空旅行。 本月IEA同意释放4亿桶石油储备，这是该机构历史上规模最大的一次协调释放行动，以应对中东冲突对能源供应造成的冲击。该机构周五进一步提出多项建议，以减轻油价上涨对消费者的影响。 美以对伊战争已推动能源价格大幅飙升，引发全球范围内对通胀压力加剧的担忧。尽管石油释放增加了可用供应，但新建议的重点在于减少需求，并帮助家庭和企业为能源市场的长期中断做好准备。 "需求抑制是所有IEA成员国必须准备的应急响应措施之一，在当前这种供应中断的紧急情况下，各国可以采取此类措施为IEA的集体行动做出贡献。" IEA指出，这些建议是各国政府、企业以及家庭可以采取的具体措施，旨在缓解近期能源价格飙升给消费者带来的冲击。 具体措施包括：推广居家办公、将高速公路限速至少下调10公里/小时，以及在有替代交通方式的情况下尽量避免乘坐飞机。 该机构还建议各国考虑通过车牌单双号限行措施，限制私家车进入大城市特定区域；鼓励使用电力烹饪及其他方式，减少对液化石油气的依赖。 IEA执行主任法提赫·比罗尔表示：“我们近期已启动IEA历史上规模最大的紧急石油储备释放行动，并正与全球主要能源生产国和消费国政府保持密切沟通，推进国际能源外交合作。” 比罗尔强调，如果伊朗冲突不能迅速解决，对国际能源市场和经济的影响将变得越来越严重。 他补充称：“除上述措施外，今天的报告还提供了一系列可立即实施的具体需求侧政策工具，供各国政府、企业和家庭采取，以减轻此次能源危机对消费者的冲击。” 该能源机构指出，世界各国政府正在采取减少石油需求和支持家庭的措施，奥地利和希腊已对燃油零售商的利润上限进行限制，英国将为弱势家庭提供取暖用油补贴。多个国家已限制公务人员出行，并发起宣传活动鼓励个人和企业减少能源消耗。

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller Friday said he is cautious about how surging oil prices on the back of the Iran war will impact inflation, though a weak jobs market may still warrant interest-rate cuts later this year. “Caution is warranted,” Waller said in an interview on CNBC. “It doesn’t mean that I’m going to stay put for the rest of the year. I just want to wait and see where this goes, and if things go reasonably well, and the labor market continues to be weak, I would start advocating again for cutting the policy rate later this year.” Federal Reserve officials this week left interest rates unchanged and continued to expect one rate cut this year as they acknowledged increased uncertainty due to war in the Middle East.

India ’s move to supply Bangladesh with diesel as fuel prices soar amid the Iran war reflects its “first responder” role in the region and clout through the use of its critical commodities to deepen ties with neighbouring states. If the fuel shortages were to persist, however, India would have to balance between its own energy demand and that of its neighbours, according to observers. Bangladesh will be importing 45,000 tonnes of diesel from India by April, with 5,000 tonnes having been delivered so far and more arriving via the 131.5 km India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline, according to Indian media reports. Advertisement New Delhi’s foreign ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said last Thursday that India had received a request for oil from Bangladesh. The call came amid a looming global energy crisis, with Iran maintaining a chokehold on global crude oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, even as it allows passage of ships from certain countries, such as India. Advertisement Apart from directly engaging with Iran’s leadership, India’s neutrality in the war has helped ensure the safe passage of its commercial vessels through the strategic waterway, according to analysts.

My top 10 things to watch Friday, March 20 1. Stock futures are down this morning as oil works its way back up after a brief move lower on Thursday. The major averages are pacing for their fourth losing week in a row, with the S & P 500 and Dow down 0.4% and 1.2%, respectively, and the Nasdaq Composite off by 0.1%. Friday is a quadruple witching event — the quarterly expiration of stock options, index options, index futures, and single-stock futures — which could add some volatility. 2. Dell is the big winner from the fallout over the Super Micro Computer investigation. U.S. prosecutors on Thursday charged Super Micro employees, including a co-founder, with smuggling Nvidia chips to China. Shares of Super Micro fell more than 26%; Dell is up roughly 4%. 3. FedEx has much more earnings power than thought, as the restructuring shines through. Pharma and the data center are good businesses. Europe is relatively strong. Costs to unload are lower. Supply chain management is superb. Freight spinoff on time. Shares popped 9%. Would be up even bigger if the overall market wasn't down. Is UPS the loser? 4. Mizuho cut its price target on Alibaba to $190 from $195 but kept its buy rating. The firm cited soft demand and investments in AI. Alibaba is launching its own version of the OpenClaw AI platform. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told me this week that OpenClaw is "definitely the next ChatGPT." 5. Big call: Mizuho sees an inflection at Chipotle , goes to buy from hold, and raises its PT by a few bucks. CMG. Analysts see positive catalysts, citing strong channel checks, traffic, and comp upside. Stock valuation is "overly pessimistic." 6. McCormick in talks to buy London-listed Unilever food business, valued at about $33 billion, Reuters reports . The U.S. spice maker is less than half the size of that division, with a market cap of $14.5 billion. 7. Verizon PT lifted to $55 from $50 at Citi, which noted streamlining cost structure and return to growth. Maintained buy rating. 8. Gu...

tracielouise/E+ via Getty Images Titan Machinery Inc. ( TITN ) reported the company’s fiscal Q4 results from the November-January period on the 19 th of March. The agricultural and construction equipment retailer continues to struggle with a downturn in the agricultural industry. A recovery isn’t happening in 2026 yet, in my opinion, now making the investment unattractive. Prolonged, significant losses and high debt cause high volatility. I maintained a Hold rating in my previous November 2025 article on the stock, titled “ Titan Machinery: The Agriculture Industry's Struggles Continue. ” The stock has since lost -24% of its value, while the S&P 500 has declined by -3%. My Rating History on TITN (Seeking Alpha) Titan Machinery Q4 Review Titan Machinery’s financials are still incredibly volatile. The fiscal Q4 report beat Wall Street’s revenue consensus but missed EPS expectations, as profitability hasn’t recovered very well. Total revenues declined by -15.5% year-on-year to $641.8 million as Titan Machinery sold inventory aggressively in the comparison period. The adjusted net loss came in at -$32.5 million, improving by $12.4 million year-on-year. The largest agriculture segment continues to cause worry. Same-store sales declined by -22.8% for the quarter, resulting in segment revenues of $406.7 million and a pre-tax loss of -$9.9 million. The sharp revenue downturn has only continued to deepen. At the same time, bloated and aged equipment inventory and weak retail demand in the agriculture segment have required Titan Machinery to continue to sell equipment at weak margins. The consolidated gross margin came in at only 13.5%, reflecting a notable decline from previous quarters in FY2026. The agriculture segment’s year-on-year earnings comparison is positive, as the pre-tax loss was cut by $45.4 million, but only because Titan Machinery sold equipment at especially aggressive pricing a year ago in Q4’FY2025 to reduce inventory. On an absolute level, agriculture earn...

Shipping risk been insured by Lloyd’s of London for more than 330 years, but now the centuries-old heart of maritime insurance is getting to grips with the most modern of threats – drones and missiles threatening hundreds of vessels stuck in the Gulf region amid the escalating Middle East conflict. For nearly three weeks, the crucial strait of Hormuz has effectively been closed to the more than 100 gas and oil tankers and container ships that usually pass through each day. Pressure is building to find a way to safely reopen the narrow maritime channel to allow the estimated 1,000 vessels and their crews – mainly oil and gas tankers but also container ships – currently trapped in the Gulf to continue their journeys, restarting the global flow of fuel, chemicals and goods. A total of 23 vessels had been attacked between the start of the war and Thursday, according to analysts from Lloyd’s List Intelligence, including near-misses and those which have sustained minor damage. Several crew members have been killed. Lloyd’s of London insists shipping insurance has remained available throughout the conflict at the “right price”, even though brokers have conceded there has been little demand for the strait in recent days. The vast majority of shipowners have chosen to leave their vessels anchored in the Gulf or waiting in the region’s ports. For Lloyd’s, this is just the latest crisis in centuries of global turmoil. The insurance market’s roots stretch back to a London coffee house owned by Edward Lloyd in 1688, where sailors, merchants and shipowners met to exchange maritime gossip. The centrepiece of the underwriting room within the distinctive Richard Rogers-designed marketplace on London’s Lime Street is the bell salvaged from the wreck of the HMS Lutine after it sank off the Dutch coast in 1799 with its cargo of gold and silver insured by Lloyd’s. Since then, Lloyd’s experienced its greatest maritime loss after the Titanic sank in 1912, insured risks during the second w...

Over the past two decades, some leading tech companies, such as Amazon (AMZN 0.47%), Microsoft (MSFT 0.64%), and Netflix (NFLX 3.10%), have produced life-changing returns. Many investors missed the boat, but the good news is that these three industry leaders still have plenty of growth fuel. Here's why Amazon, Microsoft, and Netflix are still worth investing in right now and holding onto for the next 20 years. 1. Amazon Amazon is the leader in U.S. e-commerce and global cloud computing. The company generates consistent revenue and earnings and benefits from a wide moat from several sources, including its brand name and network effects in e-commerce, as well as switching costs in cloud computing. Amazon's competitive edge should allow it to maintain its position in its core markets, which will expand over the next two decades.

Sempra SRE benefits from systematic investments in infrastructure development, enabling it to meet rising electricity demand and better serve customers. Strong returns on these investments are expected to drive long-term earnings growth at the high end or above its 7-9% target range through 2030. However, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company faces risks from counterparty defaults and exposure to tariffs and foreign supply chains, which could pressure its financial performance. Factors Acting in Favor of SRE Sempra is well positioned with its strategically located opportunities in North America, with the United States being the leading exporter of LNG worldwide. Sempra Infrastructure’s LNG business line remains focused on securely delivering natural gas to the world in support of the energy transition. It is currently developing a handful of natural gas liquefaction export projects. As of December 2025, the company made steady progress in construction at its ECA LNG Phase 1 and Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 projects. Its ECA LNG Phase 1 project, with a nameplate export capacity of approximately 3 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, has reached mechanical completion. Sempra expects to reach completion in the spring of 2026. Sempra is systematically investing in infrastructure to support rising electricity demand, driven in part by the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers across the United States. A majority of SRE’s capital expenditures are targeted toward improving the company’s transmission and distribution generation. During 2025, the company invested $13 billion, which was used for transmission and distribution improvements at its regulated public utilities, with more than $10 billion toward its growing U.S. utilities. The company plans to invest $65 billion during the 2026-2029 period, indicating a 17% increase from the previous year’s plan. Challenges Faced by SRE Sempra Infrastructure faces risks from doing business with PEMEX and CFE, Mexican state-owned enterpr...

Geopolitical instability across the globe has been a major catalyst for the growth of defense giants, such as Lockheed Martin LMT and Northrop Grumman NOC. Both are leading U.S. aerospace & defense contractors that compete directly for major government and military contracts, particularly in advanced weapons systems, aircraft and defense technology. When agencies like the U.S. Department of Defense or allied governments launch significant, strategic programs to upgrade military capabilities, both companies are typically qualified to compete. These programs often involve multi-billion-dollar, long-term contracts to develop cutting-edge systems that enhance surveillance, deterrence and combat effectiveness. The two companies frequently submit competing bids, each leveraging its technological expertise, past performance and cost efficiency to win projects that are critical for national security and defense modernization. Let's compare the two stocks' fundamentals to determine which one is better positioned at present. The Standpoint of LMT Lockheed Martin benefits from its dominant position as one of the largest U.S. defense contractors, with a platform-based strategy that drives recurring orders across multiple military branches. LMT was successful in clinching several notable deals in the fourth quarter of 2025. These include a contract for 18 space vehicles for its Tranche 3 Tracking Layer (TRKT3) constellation, with a potential value of more than $1 billion. The company also clinched a $233 million contract to deliver IRST21 Block II systems and initial spares to the U.S. Navy and Air National Guard. Order flows from the Navy and Air National Guard built a robust backlog of $193.6 billion as of Dec. 31, 2025. The F-35 program continues to be a key growth program for the company’s Aeronautics business segment. This program generated approximately 27% of Lockheed Martin’s consolidated net sales in 2025. The company has delivered 1,293 F-35 airplanes since the program...

1 Future of the head coach The Rugby Football Union’s review into England’s least successful championship for 50 years is already up and running with an alacrity that would impress Louis Bielle-Biarrey. And one detail seems clear: barring something spectacular, Steve Borthwick will still be coaching the team this summer. As one well-placed insider put it: “This review is about supporting Steve to make improvements. If change is needed change is needed but it’s not about punishing him. He’s absolutely going to be in post this summer, there’s no question about that.” That said, a wide range of feedback is being sought, including from senior and younger players, to get to the bottom of England’s fifth-placed finish and painful defeats by Scotland, Ireland and Italy. “It’s a proper under the bonnet, lifting-up-the-rocks exploration of what happened after the first game,” says another source. “What happened in those three weeks? Is it cultural, is it environmental, is it selection, is it tactics?” It is widely believed the players demanded a greater say after the Italy game and the improvement in Paris was conspicuous. But as Exeter’s director of rugby Rob Baxter emphasises, blaming one or two individuals misses the point. “The reality is that it’s never one thing that’s the problem. It’s never that one player was missing, say, or the tournament buildup was wrong. Finishing fifth is down to a collection of things that have slowly added up and then multiplied. I think that’s probably where England are.” 2 Strategic vision The outcome of the review won’t be formally announced before mid-April but high up the list of questions is whether – yet again – the blend of England’s assistant coaches needs reassessing. As Sale Sharks’ director of rugby, Alex Sanderson, puts it: “They’ve got quite a wide coaching team there, a lot of cooks – not ‘spoil the broth’ but there’s a lot of opinions to take in. That may be a factor.” A clear disconnect also frequently existed in the Six Nat...

4 stocks to watch on Friday: LLY, AMZN, NVS, UL MSN

Stock index futures reversed their gains on Friday even as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said the country is helping to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Here are the four stocks to watch on the day: Eli Lilly ( LLY ) slipped 0.3% in premarket trading after the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence announced it will reevaluate its decision to exclude two Alzheimer’s drugs from the country’s National Health Service. The review follows successful appeals from Eli Lilly and Biogen/Eisai after NICE determined in 2024 that the use of donanemab from Lilly and lecanemab from Biogen/Eisai would not be a cost-effective use of taxpayer money. Amazon ( AMZN ) fell 0.50% in premarket trade as reports emerged that the company is preparing another attempt at a smartphone after its failed Fire Phone launch in 2014. The latest effort, known internally as “Transformer,” is being developed within Amazon’s devices and services unit, according to a Reuters report citing four people familiar with the matter. Novartis ( NVS ) rose 1.05% in premarket trading after announcing an agreement to acquire an experimental breast cancer drug from Synnovation Therapeutics for up to $3 billion. SNV4818, an oral drug currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 study for breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors, will support Novartis’s oncology strategy in HR+/HER2⁻ breast cancer. Unilever ( UL ) gained 1.51% in premarket trade following the company’s announcement that it received an inbound offer for its food business and is in discussions with McCormick. The Board stated it believes Foods is a highly attractive business with a strong financial profile led by market-leading brands in growing categories.
