luza studios Tower Semiconductor ( TSEM ) has entered an agreement with Nuvoton Technology to restructure Tower Partners Semiconductor’s (TPSCo) business operations. Under the agreement, Tower will gain full ownership and operational control of TPSCo’s 12 ‑ inch fab and foundry business. Meanwhile, TPSCo will continue to retain ownership of its 8 ‑ inch fab and foundry business as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (NTCJ). NTCJ will pay Tower $25 million, as per the terms of the deal. The transaction is expected to close on April 1, 2027. TPSCo is a Japanese corporation in which Tower holds a 51% equity interest and NTCJ holds the remaining 49% equity interest. It provides wafer processing and assembly services and currently operates a 12 ‑ inch fabrication facility in Uozu, Japan, and an 8 ‑ inch fabrication facility in Tonami, Japan. Tower’s newly formed subsidiary will own all Fab 7 (12 ‑ inch) manufacturing production tools, operations, employees, and business activities. Additionally, the Israeli firm plans to acquire adjacent land under pre-agreed terms to expand its capacity and capabilities, contingent on subsidy approval from Japan ’ s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Tower targets the combined capacity across the existing facility and the intended adjacent expansion to result in four times the current Uozu capacity once completed.

Long Yongtu speaks at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026.

As global competition for capital intensifies and supply chains shift away from China because of rising costs, Beijing is seeking to reassure foreign investors with a more predictable business environment and a shift from cheap labor to a vast pool of highly skilled talent.

Just_Super/E+ via Getty Images Investment thesis. Lithium Argentina's ( LAR ) latest results were a bit of a disappointment, missing expectations. The markets greeted the results mostly positively, despite the large miss on earnings. A long-term positive outlook for lithium demand, coupled with the company's growth prospects make it an enticing investment opportunity that I continue to keep on my bargain-hunting list of stocks, in expectation of what will eventually be some deeper and broader stock market selloffs in response to the Iran war's continuation. Maintaining a hold position. The last time I covered Lithium Argentina was back in November, when I had it as a hold. At that point, I was coming to terms with the reality that my lithium market strategy and related investments were perhaps my most significant mistake in 2025, which was otherwise a rather successful year for me. I was expecting to see one more significant pullback in lithium market prices, and my biggest mistake by far was that I decided to liquidate most of my lithium miners from my portfolio last year, with the intent to buy back shares on an expected sizable pullback, which never materialized. The company's share price declined recently from its all-time high of above $8.50. I already had a modest position in Lithium Argentina stock when I bought some more shares when it dipped under $6/share this month. It has since recovered to around $7/share, so I am back to maintaining a hold position. With the Iran war's effect on the markets, my current rating might not last long, since market conditions are currently volatile. Lithium Argentina's 2025 financial results at a glance. For the year 2025 , Lithium Argentina closed off the year with a loss of 47 cents/share instead of an expectation of a positive net income of 3 cents/share. It was a loss of $76.88 million for the year, versus a loss of just over $15 million in 2024. As we can see, the net loss widened compared with 2024. A significant facto...

北京时间3月25日晚，美股周三早盘涨幅收窄，道指上涨200点。关于美国已向伊朗提交了一份结束冲突的计划的新闻导致原油价格暴跌。但伊朗军方暗示，有关美伊就结束战争进行谈判的说法是美方在自说自话。另据报道美国正在向中东部署陆军第82空降师。 道指涨220.78点，涨幅为0.48%，报46344.84点；纳指涨164.32点，涨幅为0.76%，报21926.21点；标普500指数涨27.83点，涨幅为0.42%，报6584.20点。 目前主要股指均已从早盘高位回落。周三早间，道指一度上涨超过520点。 一家知名财经媒体报道称，美国正在向中东部署陆军第82空降师。据两位知情人士透露，预计未来几天将有约1000名美军士兵部署到中东地区。这一消息传出之际，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普及其政府表示，美国正与伊朗进行谈判以结束冲突。 有报道称美国通过巴基斯坦向伊朗提交了一份15点提案以结束敌对行动，缓解了能源价格担忧，原油价格下跌超过5%，美股因此上涨。 据纽约的知名媒体援引两位不愿透露姓名的官员的话报道称，美国据信已向伊朗提交了一份结束战争的和平计划。该媒体称，这份15点计划是通过巴基斯坦递交的。可以肯定的是，双方立场似乎仍相距甚远，且来自双方的袭击仍在继续。 有关和平计划的报道传出之前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二早些时候表示，美国“目前正在”与伊朗进行谈判。他补充说，德黑兰方面“讲道理”，并暗示其渴望达成和平协议。 但伊朗军方暗示，华盛顿方面在声称与德黑兰进行结束战争的谈判时，可能是在自说自话。 周三，在伊朗国家媒体表示该国不会接受美国的停火努力后，股指期货从高位回落。 与此同时，周三油价大幅下跌。西德克萨斯中质原油期货下跌4%，至每桶88美元左右。国际布伦特原油期货也下跌4%，至每桶99美元左右。随着油价下跌以及和平前景的出现，美国国债收益率也大幅下挫。 派珀桑德勒首席投资策略师Michael Kantrowitz周二表示：“我们继续认为这只是一个由油价驱动的单一变量市场。石油和利率正在推动股市。就目前而言，我认为市场定价与当前状况相符，我们将随着形势的变化而继续波动和反应。” 他补充道：“我对经济不太担心。我认为美国经济当然能够承受90美元、100美元的油价。我稍微担心的是利率以及对持续通胀将拖累股票估值的担忧。” 这场战争导致本周股市剧烈波动。周二，市场回吐了周一的部分涨幅。周...

Treasuries gained as investors focused on the US’s diplomatic push to end the war with Iran and a related drop in oil prices, despite reports from the country’s semi-official news agency that there wouldn’t yet be a ceasefire. Yields remained lower by one to three basis points across maturities on Wednesday, tracking oil’s intraday moves, after the US compiled a 15-point peace proposal in a bid for diplomacy. Yields and oil princes had rebounded from session lows after Iran’s Fars said an agreement to stop the conflict isn’t viable under current conditions. “Rates moved lower overnight and early in the session on hopes of a ceasefire,” said Molly Brooks , rates strategist at TD Securities. “However, looking at futures markets, we are still pricing in odds of Fed hikes this year — so it seems we are holding off and waiting on an agreement before pricing out hikes.” Since the US attacked Iran Feb. 28, yields have been guided by oil prices, which surged as Middle East supply was curtailed and have jacked up gasoline prices that factor into US inflation gauges. The prospect of higher inflation readings wiped out expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts this year and began to build the case for a rate increase. Occasional daily declines in oil prices this month, such as Wednesday’s, have benefited Treasuries. The rejection of a ceasefire roughly coincided with a couple of large 5- and 10-year note block trades that appeared to be sales and added momentum to the move in yields away from the lows of the day. Still, the overall mood in markets remained positive. European government bonds rallied on hopes for a deescalation, with yields on two-year German notes falling as much as 10 basis points to 2.57%, while those on UK peers slumped as much as 11 basis points to 4.36%. In the US, two-year yields had declined as much as four basis points to 3.85% earlier in the session. Investors were looking ahead to a $70 billion of five-year notes at 1 p.m. New York time, af...

Pavel Kot/iStock via Getty Images By James Picerno The US budget deficit was already on shaky ground before the Iran war, and reports that the Pentagon will seek an additional $200 billion in military funding only complicate the outlook for fiscal risk. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also suggested the request could rise depending on operational needs. Whatever the extra costs associated with the ongoing conflict, higher spending arrives at a difficult time for the US budget outlook. In February, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revised its forecast for government finances and projected that the already hefty deficit will deepen this year to $1.853 trillion. Over the course of the decade ahead, the non-partisan CBO estimates that the deficit-to-GDP ratio will increase to 6.7% from the current 5.7%. If correct, the rise would mark the highest ratio since the pandemic. The prospect of bigger deficits may be worrisome for several reasons, starting with the fact that the current level of debt is unusual for an economy that’s not in recession. Atypical or not, the fiscal burden poses a potential threat to financial markets by raising inflation and interest rates. TMC Research routinely analyzes the data in this corner, but fiscal risk modeling remains inherently imprecise for estimating the true level of vulnerability and gauging debt markets’ tolerance for government indebtedness. But this much is clear: if the current level of outstanding government obligations increases from current levels - especially in relation to the size of the economy - the implied risk also increases. “Higher debt adds to the risk of inflationary pressure in both the short- and the long-run, through aggregate demand, inflation expectations, crowding-out of private investment, and worries about fiscal dominance,” advises The Budget Lab at Yale. Fiscal Risk Index US fiscal pressure has increased lately, according to TMC Research’s Fiscal Risk Index (FRI). The current reading rose to 0.4,...

Meta Platforms has unveiled ambitious executive pay incentives, targeting a $9 trillion market capitalization by 2031 as it looks to get ahead in the intensifying AI talent race. Under the stock options program, which includes six leaders but not CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the full value of the options would only be realized if Meta stock jumps more than 500% to $3,727, according to filings late Tuesday. Meta stock rose 1.2% early Wednesday.

Trapped: The Private Credit Exit Door Has Been Locked And Sealed Shut Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance While headlines are fixated on the Iran war and today’s “feel good” market rally, it is worth noting that beneath the surface, hours ago credit markets just got worse. The latest example comes from Apollo, which has been forced to put the brakes on investor withdrawals from one of its largest retail focused funds, according to Bloomberg . Its $25 billion Apollo Debt Solutions vehicle is the latest private credit flaming bag of shit that has hit redemption limits after investors tried to pull more than double what the structure allows. In other words, investors want out and are being treated like the old ladies on line at the South Philly Acme trying to buy liverwurst and chicken salad at the deli counter. That is, to say, they’re being told to take a number. As I’ve been documenting, BlackRock recently hit similar limits in its own fund, and Morgan Stanley has been dealing with pro rated withdrawals at roughly the same levels. The difference now is scale and urgency. Apollo investors tried to redeem over 11% of the fund in one window. That’s a quintessential “race for the exits”. And it was an Apollo executive himself who said just days ago that “all” marks in private credit are “wrong”. Oh, the irony. The size with these funds is not trivial. These are not obscure niche strategies. These are $25 to $30 billion vehicles seeing real redemption pressure. That is large enough to matter, even if people would prefer to pretend otherwise. Combined, we’re already talking about stress on nearly $100 billion in assets. It is worth remembering what these funds actually own. They are not sitting on piles of cash waiting to hand it back. They hold loans that are illiquid, often priced off internal models, and extended to companies that depend on continued access to financing. Those loans have counterparties. Those counterparties have their own problems. That is how stress spr...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Meta Platforms ( META ) plans to cut "a few hundred" jobs across the company, according to a report by The Information on Wednesday, citing two sources. The cuts will affect staffers in Reality Labs, the division that has lost over $80B since 2021, the report said. Jobs will also be impacted in its social media unit, recruiting operations, and sales teams, the report said. "Teams across Meta regularly restructure or implement changes to ensure they’re in the best position to achieve their goals. Where possible, we are finding other opportunities for employees whose positions may be impacted," a Meta spokesperson told the news outlet. The news comes as the company aggressively pushes to offset heavy bets made on AI infrastructure and talent while racing to keep up with technological advancements against rivals Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), Amazon ( AMZN ), and Microsoft ( MSFT ).

据三名现任美国官员及一名前美国官员透露，自伊朗战争爆发以来，美国军方官员每日都会为唐纳德·特朗普总统汇编一段视频更新，展示过去48小时内针对伊朗目标规模最大、战果最显著的打击画面。 官员们称，这段每日视频集锦时长通常约两分钟，有时会更长。有官员将每日视频形容为一连串“爆炸场面”的片段合集。 这段由美国中央司令部提供的轰炸伊朗军事装备与设施的精彩集锦，并非特朗普获取战争信息的唯一渠道。官员们表示，他还通过与军方及情报高层顾问、外国领导人的会谈以及新闻报道了解最新战况。 但两名现任官员及这名前官员指出，这份视频简报引发了特朗普部分盟友的担忧：他们担心，对于这场已进入第四周的战争，特朗普可能并未接收或全面掌握完整战况。 他们表示，这些视频还加剧了特朗普对战争新闻报道的不满。一名现任美国官员及前美国官员称，特朗普曾私下以每日视频中展示的战果质疑，为何其政府无法更好地引导公众舆论，并询问助手为何新闻媒体不重点报道他所看到的内容。 白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特否认了“特朗普未接收战争各方面进展（包括胜利与挫折）信息”的说法。 “这一说法完全错误，出自从未亲临现场的人之口，”莱维特在一份声明中表示，“任何与特朗普有过当面交流的人都清楚，他会主动征求在场所有人的意见，并要求所有高级顾问毫无保留地坦诚直言。” 美国国防部首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在声明中称：“‘史诗怒火’取得了压倒性成功，我方部队以无与伦比的精度执行任务，达成了最初设定的所有目标。战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯就‘史诗狂怒行动’的方方面面与特朗普总统保持持续沟通。我们为作战人员的卓越表现感到自豪，并对总司令的决策充满绝对信心。” 一名美国官员表示，尽管敏感军事行动的讨论仅限小范围人员参与，但特朗普仍广泛征求意见，鼓励所有参与者坦率表态。该官员补充道，特朗普经常与各类外部顾问通电话，听取他们的感受以及对民意的看法。 美国全国广播公司新闻本月民调显示，美国民众对这场战争的看法因党派立场严重分裂，且多数选民反对特朗普对战争的处理方式。 但在特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”运动内部，对其支持率极高：自称为“让美国再次伟大”支持者的受访者对特朗普的支持率达100%，其中90%支持他在伊朗采取的军事行动。 战时，总统如何获取信息（尤其是负面进展）、助手向其通报哪些细节，是尤为关键的问题。历史上，任何一任总统的助手都需在全面通报事件与强调核心目标战果...

The largest contributor to relative performance was stock selection in the financials, information technology (IT), and consumer staples sectors. The largest detractors were investment decisions in the health care, communication services, and utilities sectors. The largest exposures were in the financials, industrials, and health care sectors. During the quarter, the fund increased its allocations to the industrials and real estate sectors, and reduced its exposures to the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors. Contributors Stock selection in the financials sector was the largest contributor to relative performance, specifically in the banks industry. Stock selection in the IT sector, especially security selection in the technology hardware, storage & peripherals industry, was additive. Security selection in the consumer staples sector, notably in the consumer staples distribution & retail industry, also had a positive impact. Detractors The largest detractor was stock selection in the health care sector, particularly in the health care equipment & supplies industry. Allocation decisions in the communication services sector, especially in the interactive media & services industry, weighed on relative performance, as did stock selection in the utilities sector, notably in the multi-utilities industry.
