Tyson Foods has room to run as consumer appetites for animal proteins grows despite increasing meat prices, according to Mizuho. The bank initiated coverage of Tyson with an outperform rating. It also set a $72 price target on shares, implying 17% upside from Wednesday's close. "We believe TSN is poised to benefit from the structural growth of protein demand," analyst John Baumgartner said Thursday in a note to clients. "U.S. meat demand is a record despite record high prices, and food culture, shifting in favor of nutrient-dense foods and animal protein, should persist in a world of GLP-1 and personalized health data." Over the next decade, meat consumption is expected to grow by 47.9 million tonnes, an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report showed. Meanwhile, red meat and poultry production could hit 108.4 billion pounds by the end of 2026, representing an increase of 1% from the previous year, according to the The United States Department of Agriculture. To be sure, beef prices rose about 15% last year, and geopolitical tensions could push the prices of other meats higher as well, analysts said. But Mizuho expects demand for meat to remain strong, benefiting Tyson. "We expect meat will remain an integral nutrient, including annual per capita chicken demand growth of at least +1% and premium innovation across the complex; superior to center-store food (2-yr avg. volume -1% and increasing pressure on prices)," Baumgartner wrote. Tyson is also prepared to meet rising demand for meat due to its push to invest in updating various aspects of its operations to make them more efficient, according to Mizuho. "The last five years of heavy reinvestment, to enhance supply chain and network optimization and establish robotics and enhanced analytics, underwrites stronger execution and greater operating leverage," Baumgartner wrote. Mizuho's call goes against consensus on Wall Street. Of the 15 analysts covering Tyson, just five have a buy or strong buy o...

Pla2na/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong Since March 19, gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) has staged the expected bearish impulsive down move sequence and plummeted by 15% to print a 4-month low of $4,099 on Monday, March 23, 2026, supported by the “stagflation fear” macro factor. Thereafter, the previous yellow metal staged a rebound of 12% to hit an intraday high of $4,603 on the backdrop of “TACO” optimism that the US White House Administration is looking to end the month-long US-Iran war, in turn allowing passage to reopen in the Strait of Hormuz, the global oil flow choke point. Read more over here why "TACO"-induced risk-on sentiment may fail to materialize this time: “ Global Markets Swing On U.S.-Iran War Headlines As Risk-On Rally Falters - A Cross Analysis On S&P 500, U.S. Dollar Index, AUD/USD, And WTI Crude ”. Right now, intermarket and technical analyses are pointing to another leg of bearish impulsive down move for gold, likely the end of the 12% corrective rebound, aka dead cat bounce, from Monday’s low. A firmer WTI crude oil supports further weakness in gold Fig. 1: Gold (XAU/USD) and WTI crude oil futures indirect correlation as of March 26, 2026 (Source: TradingView) Fig. 2: West Texas Oil CFD minor trend as of March 26, 2026 (Source: TradingView) The macro connection between WTI crude oil and gold is stagflation risk Higher oil prices via supply-side shock (closure of the Strait of Hormuz leads to a lesser oil supply globally, in turn also creating a second-order effect of lower aggregate demand as input costs of finalized goods and services get more expensive). Hence, stagflation is a deadly combination of higher prices and lower economic growth prospects in later stages. A challenging environment for central bankers as they cannot easily implement expansionary monetary policies to counter and anticipate the second-order demand destruction in a stagflation environment. Therefore, central banks are likely to adopt a “wait and see” approach, and some “inf...

The government has launched a consultation on banning social media for under-16s but peers voted to move faster Keir Starmer has been speaking at the JEF leaders’ summit in Helsinki. He said that the war in Iran should not distract attention from the threat from Russia, which he said “has grown”. He said: A couple of months ago all eyes of the world were on the High North, and now they’re on the Gulf. And, of course, we will continue to defend our interests, there. But the threat from Russia in the north and the east has not gone away. And therefore it’s important that we’re here today. -median household income increased in real terms between FYE [financial year end] 2024 and FYE 2025, rising by 5% before housing costs (BHC) and 5% after housing costs (AHC) to £719 and £623 per week respectively.
