格隆汇3月17日｜据彭博，一艘香港所有的散货船刚刚通过霍尔木兹海峡进入波斯湾，这在目前只有少数船只安全通过该水道的情况下实属罕见。 彭博汇编的船舶追踪数据显示，这艘名为Jia Xiang Da的小型散货船周一晚些时候从阿曼湾驶近这个咽喉要道，并向西进入波斯湾。到周二上午，该船出现在伊朗海岸附近，正朝着基什岛方向航行，预计将于周三抵达伊拉克乌姆盖斯尔港。吃水深度数据显示该船空载。 据海事数据库Equasis显示，这艘往返于中国和中东之间的货轮悬挂巴拿马国旗，但由总部位于中国香港的Jia Xiang Da Shipping Co Ltd.所有并运营。这艘船似乎是自伊朗战争爆发以来，第二艘被发现驶入波斯湾的中国相关船舶。

He's no longer Berkshire Hathaway's (BRKA +0.43%) (BRKB +0.40%) chief stock-picker. But Warren Buffett's proven stock-picking approach lives on through the decades of investing wisdom he's passed along while CEO of the conglomerate, as well as the fact that many of Berkshire's current picks were added to its holdings while Buffett was still at the helm. To this end, here are three Warren Buffett stocks currently in Berkshire's portfolio that you can feel good about buying and holding forever. 1. Coca-Cola It's not just one of Berkshire Hathaway's biggest positions. The Coca-Cola Company (KO +0.59%) is also one of Berkshire's oldest -- the 400-million-share position in the beverage giant first began being established all the way back in the mid-1990s. It's not difficult to see what the Oracle of Omaha liked about Coca-Cola at the time. As is still the case now, the company was dominating the drinks space thanks to plenty of clever lifestyle marketing. And perhaps more important to Buffett, also like now, back then The Coca-Cola Company was already dividend royalty; as of this year it's now raised its annual per-share payout for 64 consecutive years. For perspective on just how much Coca-Cola has been a boon for Berkshire's stock portfolio, since the position was first opened back in 1994, KO shares have advanced from a split-adjusted price of around $10 apiece to more than $77 now. Its quarterly dividend payment has also grown from just under $0.20 per share then to its current quarterly payment of $0.53 per share during this three-decade stretch. This holding now generates nearly $900 million worth of annual cash payments for Berkshire. And none of these dividend payments have ever been reinvested. This reliable cash flow is used in other ways that are just as important to Berkshire's enduring success.

Asian utilities are boosting coal-fired power generation to cut costs and safeguard energy supply, industry officials say, as the US-Israeli war on Iran chokes liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments and soaring prices threaten to suppress LNG demand. Asia spot LNG prices have doubled to three-year highs in the second major supply shock in four years, as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has all but stopped and No 2 global exporter Qatar has halted shipments. In South Asia, Bangladesh is increasing coal power generation and coal-fired power imports in March, daily government data shows. Advertisement Pakistan aims to further boost power generated from domestic sources after solar additions helped it avoid a repeat of the LNG supply volatility behind widespread outages following Russia’s 2022 Ukraine invasion , according to Power Minister Awais Leghari. “With reduction in LNG generation, plants running on locally mined coal will be able to produce more during off-peak hours,” Leghari said.

Reuters March 17, 2026, 6:43 a.m. ET March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures slipped on Tuesday as the Middle East conflict pinned oil prices near $100 a barrel, fueling inflation concerns that will be a major point of discussion when the Federal Reserve kicks off its two-day meeting later in the day. Wall Street was also cooling from a tech-driven rebound in the previous session that saw the benchmark S&P 500 .SPX log its biggest one-day jump in over a month, which also featured Nvidia's NVDA.O extensively watched annual developer conference. Nvidia said the revenue opportunity for its artificial intelligence chips may reach at least $1 trillion through 2027, as the company outlined a strategy to compete more aggressively in the fast-growing market for running AI systems in real time. Shares of the company were flat in premarket trading after Monday's 1.6% rise, while peers Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O and Broadcom AVGO.O were marginally lower. Investors are now drawn to the expanding conflict in the Middle East that is likely to keep the Strait of Hormuz shut, as U.S. President Donald Trump's call to allies to safeguard the passage fell on deaf ears. Travel stocks Delta DAL.N and Carnival CCL.N were down 1%, while energy companies Occidental OXY.N and EQT EQT.N were up about 1% each. Brokerages lifted their outlooks for energy prices that is likely to dampen economic growth, which was also flagged by the Australian central bank when it hiked interest rates earlier in the day. The U.S. Fed is likely to leave borrowing costs unchanged at the end of its two-day meeting on Wednesday. But investors are pricing in a hawkish outlook as short-term Treasury yields edge up and rate futures suggest one 25-basis-point cut towards the end of the year, according to LSEG-compiled data, down from around two before the war. "While we do not expect central banks to make knee-jerk policy moves, policymakers are likely to stress vigilance over inflation risks amid elevated oil ...

These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Legendary investor Warren Buffett once said that there's no need to do extraordinary things to achieve extraordinary results. And it's true. Many people incorrectly assume that building real wealth requires constantly analyzing stocks, reading earnings reports, and watching the stock market every day. To be clear, if you have the time, knowledge, and desire required to evaluate individual stocks and maintain a portfolio, it can absolutely be a way to produce superior long-term returns. But you might be surprised how effective a much more hands-off approach can be. Here's an overview of how everyday investors can build million-dollar nest eggs using a simple strategy that allows you to sleep soundly at night. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

For example, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) spreads your money among thousands of publicly traded stocks. The Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NASDAQ: VTWO) can allow you to add some small-cap exposure, and the Schwab International Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHF) can be a great way to diversify outside of the United States. And a fixed-income fund like the Vanguard Total Bond Index ETF (NASDAQ: BND) can provide safety and income, especially as you get closer to retirement. Of course, these are just a few examples. ...

A number of younger Mongolian politicians, including many women, are facing the threat of extended jail sentences for their role in challenging the country’s political leadership, in what they claim are early skirmishes in a battle to prevent a slide into authoritarianism. The dispute forms part of a factional power struggle in the ruling party that is threatening to weaken Mongolia, one of the few democracies in the region, as it seeks to navigate a foreign policy independent of neighbouring Russia and China. The former deputy speaker of the parliament, Yale-educated Bulgantuya Khürelbaatar, told the Guardian she was facing the threat of 12 to 20 years in jail after being charged with the criminal offence of “an organised effort to unlawfully seize or retain state power”. She described the charge as absurd and unprecedented in Mongolia. She also says she has been banned from leaving the country and had restrictions placed on her movements inside Mongolia. The charges have been brought with the help of the country’s state intelligence agency. Mongolia is rich in minerals, and allegations of political corruption have led to a recent extended period of political infighting in the ruling Mongolia People’s party. There is also a generational divide within the MPP, with a younger group of reformists, including some educated abroad, challenging the traditional leadership. The charge relates to Bulgantuya’s role as the chair of a vote in parliament in October in which a majority of MPs were declared to have voted for the prime minister, Zandanshatar Gombojav, to stand down, only four months into the job. The vote related to a dispute over changes to the mineral exporters tax regime, which opponents of the prime minister said would benefit wealthy exporters and lower state income. Bulgantuya says the procedure for the vote was in line with precedent, including a comparable vote in 2021. President Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh, an ally of the prime minister, vetoed the parliament’s ...

Micron Technology plans to build a second semiconductor manufacturing facility in Taiwan after completing the acquisition of a fabrication plant previously owned by Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp., as the U.S. chipmaker accelerates efforts to expand production of advanced memory chips used in artificial intelligence systems. The new plant will be constructed in Tongluo, in Miaoli County, where Micron already operates a major memory manufacturing site. The expansion is designed to boost production of next-generation DRAM chips, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), a specialized form of memory that has become critical for AI servers and high-performance data centers. Micron confirmed it has completed the purchase of Powerchip’s Tongluo P5 facility, which will serve as the foundation for the new fabrication plant. The new factory will be roughly the same size as the existing Micron facility at the site, effectively doubling the company’s footprint in the area. The move comes as semiconductor companies worldwide rush to expand production of advanced memory chips to meet surging demand driven by the rapid buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure. HBM has emerged as one of the most important components in modern AI computing systems. Unlike conventional DRAM, HBM stacks multiple layers of memory vertically and connects them with advanced packaging technologies, allowing significantly higher data transfer speeds and energy efficiency. This architecture is particularly suited for AI workloads that require rapid movement of enormous volumes of data between processors and memory. Companies such as Nvidia rely heavily on HBM chips to power their most advanced AI accelerators used by cloud providers and research institutions. The memory technology has therefore become a crucial bottleneck in the global AI supply chain. Industry analysts say the explosive demand for AI training hardware has created a shortage of HBM, prompting memory manufacturers to acce...
