Another Greek-controlled oil tanker has crossed the Strait of Hormuz, marking the fourth such voyage since hostilities in the Middle East began. The suezmax Pola , which switched off its tracking system in the Persian Gulf on March 10, was detected again on Monday by the Automatic Identification System. The ship was sailing in the eastern Indian Ocean near the maritime corridor off the coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra island, according to vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. Its reappearance indicates the tanker successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil chokepoint that has seen sharply reduced commercial traffic since the US and Israel started their war on Iran. The tanker, laden with roughly 1 million barrels of crude, is en route to Thailand, according to data from intelligence firm Kpler. While Iran continues to bar “hostile” entities from the strategic waterway, several Asian countries, including Thailand , have secured bilateral agreements to allow passage through the Strait for some tankers and cargo ships. The Pola is the fourth vessel managed by Dynacom Tankers Management Ltd. to make the passage through Hormuz with its transponder switched off since its effective closure. The firm also sent the oil tankers Shenlong , Smyrni and Marathi through the narrow waterway earlier this month. The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The risks to shipping in the Persian Gulf remain high, with Iran hitting a fully laden Kuwaiti tanker off Dubai in a drone strike.

Sundry Photography Data warehousing company Snowflake ( SNOW ) said on Tuesday that it has named Jonathan Beaulier as its Chief Revenue Officer. Shares fell 2% in premarket trading on the back of the news. In his new role, Beaulier will be responsible for Snowflake’s revenue and go-to-market teams, Snowflake said in a statement.

Ant DM Shake Shack ( SHAK ) is enjoying more stable same-store traffic despite a choppy macroeconomic background thanks to successful initiatives like the Dubai shake, a value menu, and improved operational standards. With the help of a younger consumer spending more at its restaurants, the chain should sustain in-line same-store sales and earnings growth, earning an upgrade at BofA Securities to Neutral from Underperform and a 15% increase to its price target. Analyst Sara Senatore also notes the company’s supply chain improvements, including producer and geographic diversification, product optimization, transportation and logistics optimizations, and deploying technology more effectively. While beef constitutes a higher share of Shake Shack’s ( SHAK ) cost of goods sold than any of the other fixed costs, supply chain efficiencies will moderate the impact from higher costs. This leads Senatore to raise her FY26 adjusted EBITDA estimate by 3.2% to $288M. Disciplined cost controls were on display last quarter when the company reported a 42% increase in EPS despite higher input prices and beef inflation, maintaining a 22.7% profit margin. This led the company to predict higher net income and adjusted EBITDA for the year. “Our Neutral rating is based on our view that the operating backdrop will remain challenging—with pressures tied to consumer spending and heightened value competition—but SHAK’s offsetting initiatives should help sustain in-line same-store sales growth and earnings growth,” Senatore says.

NosUA/iStock via Getty Images Setting the scene Today's markets are anything but relaxing. Most equities ( SPY ) are down. Bonds ( BND ) and the so called "60/40" approach ( AOR ) have once again disappointed certain investors. The recent sell-off that has been driven by soaring oil prices and their knock-on effects to inflation, interest rates and overall economic health have negatively affected even safest areas of market in which, say, durable income investors tend to seek shelter. For example, REITs ( VNQ ), high-quality dividend growth ( SCHD ) and infrastructure ( UTF ) also have trended downwards since the war in Iran began. I think that two things are pretty clear (or at least embody very high odds of happening): 1. Growth prospects for many high multiple names (but in reality almost across the board) have weakened. Just think of soaring oil prices introducing headwinds to consumer spending, AI CapEx becoming increasingly more expensive, supply chain disruptions (e.g. helium) and less accommodative financing costs. It is hard to imagine how against this kind of backdrop the companies could justify their sky-high valuation multiples . 2. Volatility is likely to remain higher for longer. The combination of rich valuations, very tight spreads and mounting risks in the system is the perfect recipe for a heightened volatility. In the chart below we can see how VIX which measures the implied volatility for the S&P 500 has doubled since the start of the year: Ycharts The same could be said about almost any other volatility measurement index out there, including the MOVE index (volatility of U.S. Treasury yields) that has surged higher this year. The "Almost Perfect" Setup for Covered Calls It is clear that high-growth and richly priced equities are probably not the best picks out there amidst the various economic headwinds and increased uncertainty. Currently, it seems that we have entered into a risk-off phase that can last for quite some time, like until valuatio...

Putin Winning, Ukraine's Position Weakened, From Prolonged Iran War: Zelensky Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that a prolonged Iran war will be a net win for Moscow - and a significant setback for Kyiv. Speaking to Axios , he said bluntly: " I am sure Russia wants long war . They have benefits: The US is focusing on the Middle East and may decrease military help to Ukraine . Further he highlighted that "Sanctions are partially lifted" on Russian energy and so "I see only benefits for Russia from the war with Iran continuing." Ukrainian Presidential Press Service, via Agence France-Presse The logic is simple, he explained: higher oil prices and softer sanctions boost Russia, while US focus shifts away from Ukraine - as well as attention from Western partners - which ultimately results in tightening weapons supply . "I am not just concerned, I am sure we will have such challenges. Absolutely," he continued. Zelensky has also been reminding Western audiences that Moscow is actively aiding Iran, including targeting support via intelligence: "I think Russia is supporting Iran directly, 100%… the same format of sharing satellite images like they did in the case of Ukraine," Zelensky asserted. This will in the long-run result in a weaker Ukraine, particularly given the surging demand for interceptors in the Middle East. But Zelensky has for weeks been arguing that Ukraine needs these defensive missiles, such as Patriots, the most - repeatedly calling the issue a matter of "life and death". Interestingly and somewhat ironically, this has led to Zelensky sounding like a dove and a peacenik : "Our advice, when they asked us, was to stop the war as soon as possible and sit for negotiations - even if they can't sit together with Iran - and find a diplomatic way to end the war. But it is up to the sides ," he stressed. Zelensky himself has at various times throughout the war refused any negotiations with Moscow which hinge on making territorial concessions, whi...
