(RTTNews) - Fairly strong U.S. futures point to a firm start on Wall Street Monday morning. However, persisting worries about growth due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East may weigh on sentiment and limit market's upside. Investors will be digesting a slew of economic data, while awaiting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement, due on Wednesday. Today, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described trade meetings with China as very good, characterizing the relationship as stable. The Dow futures are up 0.57%, the S&P futures are gaining 0.78% and the Nasdaq futures are up 0.93%. Industrial production data for the month of February is due at 9:15 AM ET. Business inventories data for December, and a reading on Housing Market from NAHB/Wells Fargo are due at 10 AM ET. Wall Street's major averages failed to hold early gains and settled weak on Friday. The Nasdaq slid 206.62 points or 0.9% to 22,105.36, the S&P 500 dropped 10.14 points or 0.6% to 6,632.19, and the Dow ended down by 119.38 points or 0.3% at 46,558.47. In overseas trading, Asian markets ended on a mixed note on Monday with investors largely making cautious moves as the war in the Middle East entered the third week. European stocks are turning in a mixed performance in somewhat lackluster trade as investors continue to assess the impact of the Middle East war, and look ahead to monetary policy announcements from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank. In commodities trading, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures are down $1.50 or 1.52% at $97.21 a barrel. Gold futures are down $49.40 or 0.98% at $5,012.30 an ounce.

Palais Garnier, Paris Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple’s Arena spills off the stage while Morau’s equally audacious Étude has balletic body snatchers What a joy to find Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple given full run of the grandiose Palais Garnier. The sparky duo from London, known as Jess and Morgs , bring their audacious blend of choreography and live camerawork to a gripping new creation, Arena, with video design by Jakub Lech. It peaks with a bravura sequence in which Loup Marcault-Derouard leaves the stage and is seen on a huge screen, racing around the opera house’s imposing halls and staircase. Arena gives the sense of choreographers in a candy store, seizing the real estate newly available to them after their hit, tech-centric reboot of Coppélia for Scottish Ballet in 2022 . The piece opens with understated, percussive coolness and shades of A Chorus Line – an athletic squad limber up with individual and collective confidence. “Next please!” barks the voiceover and a camera operator glides down the queue, capturing beady eyes, beating chests, glistening sweat. In the age of Instagram, dancers are ever-ready for their closeups and here the port de bras frequently results in tightly framed faces – but Arena exposes the perils of chronically online culture and the urge to compete, compare and conform. There is a gladiatorial element to Annemarie Woods’ costumes yet this is a dystopian contest that also feels rooted in the present day. Continue reading...

格隆汇3月16日｜荷兰国际集团的分析师在一份报告中指出，与2022年相比，欧洲企业目前在应对当前能源危机方面状况更为良好。他们表示，自俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来，许多行业的能源需求有所下降。企业已采取措施降低能源风险，投资可再生能源和更节能的生产流程，实现电气化生产，并签订更长期的能源合同。“尤其是化工行业表现尤为突出，”他们说道。就连航空和航运业——这些在欧洲能源消耗最为密集的行业之一——也取得了显著的能效提升。不过，这往往又被不稳定的交易模式所抵消。“我们认为，与2022年相比，如今企业对更高能源价格的准备程度要更好得多，”分析师们表示。

Holding equities means accepting volatility as the price of long-term compounding. Across the 15 major systemic shocks where Oracle (ORCL) traded, the stock posted an average drawdown of -18%. For context, the S&P 500 averaged a -16% decline during those same periods. If you are an investor in ORCL stock, you might be asking: if the macroeconomic environment fractures, how far can this stock actually fall? The answer depends entirely on the transmission mechanism of the crisis. Not all market shocks are created equal. To accurately price the risk, we have to isolate how ORCL reacts to different types of systemic stress. What Is The Stock’s Greatest Vulnerability? When dissecting these past crashes by their root cause, a clear pattern emerges: ORCL faces its most severe structural headwinds during ‘Sovereign & Geopolitical Risk’ environments. While broad market equities are affected by such environment, ORCL has historically suffered outsized downside when this mechanism triggers. During these events, the stock has averaged a -25% decline. To internalize the risk inherent in this stock, here is exactly how it behaved during its most severe tests across three distinct macroeconomic environments. Trefis: ORCL Stock Insights How Does It Handle A Sovereign & Geopolitical Risk Shock? 2025 US Tariff Shock (Feb 2025 to Jun 2025) The Trump administration announced 145% tariffs on Chinese imports on April 2, 2025, representing the most aggressive trade action since the 1930s.

This experimental pill helped people lose about 16% of their body weight after about a year of treatment

Abstract Aerial Art/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis The shipping industry is in a weird spot right now, at least for the ones dealing with commodities like oil and natural gas. BW LPG ( BWLP ) is one of the largest VLGC operators in the world right now with over 50 ships in the fleet (both owned and leased). The current negative sentiment stems mostly from ships rerouting from the Middle East to the US instead to pick up cargo because of the ongoing conflict there. This has created an oversupply of ships available for hire. This seems more temporary than anything as the market figures the conditions out. On the positive side, BWLP is a company with an excellent balance sheet and a quality fleet. This position is far better than most in my opinion. On top of this you then also have a generous dividend program where oftentimes 85 - 100% of the net income is distributed. Even though times might look shaky for the industry right now, I hold the long-term prospects for BWLP as very positive still. Rating it a Buy. Global Conflicts Are Hammering The Stock Being a shipping company and specifically for LPG or liquefied petroleum gas is right now a very volatile market to be. The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East which continues to be a large region for both production and exports means companies like BWLP will be trading in a volatile pattern. Right now about 99% of the Middle East LPG output is going to Asia-Pacific where because of the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz means India has been significantly affected by this . Management of BWLP noted in the last earnings call which was on March 3 that the conflict in the region is a concern. The other thing is that companies like BWLP at least are not getting their ships insured if they pass through the Strait now. This effectively closes it off completely. It’s not really a threat of missiles, but financial impacts instead. I think as long as there is even a slight threat of Iran shooting at ships, it’...

Lya_Cattel WW International’s ( WW ) transformation from a purely behavioral weight loss program to offering complementary GLP-1s was reflected in a 42% increase in subscribers and a 32% increase in clinical subscription revenue at the end of the fourth quarter, both of which helped offset a 12% year-over-year decline in total revenue. As a result, shares were launched more than 14% higher into Monday's open. “While significant work remains ahead to fully realize this vision, we are encouraged by early signs of progress, including strong Clinical growth, improved brand momentum, and early engagement across our evolving product ecosystem. We view 2026 as an important inflection year, unlocking the potential for sustainable future growth,” said WW International CEO Tara Comonte. While the company fell into the red during the quarter, a loss of $0.58 per share—versus a profit of $0.31 per share in the same quarter last year—this was better than Wall Street anticipated. Total revenue was down 12% to $163M but exceeded estimates by $14M. For FY26, WW International ( WW ) expects to generate $620M to $635M in sales versus estimates of $633.4M and adjusted EBITDA of $105M to $115M. More on WW International, Inc.

Join us each week as my team and I chronicle the intersection of money and power in a region that’s become one of the most influential in global finance. You can sign up here . This week, let’s dive straight into the US-Israeli war on Iran, now in its third week. Iran denied US President Donald Trump’s assertion that it wants ceasefire talks , launching fresh attacks across the Persian Gulf. Dubai briefly halted flights at its main airport on Monday after a fire at a fuel tank that it said was caused by an Iranian drone. The key United Arab Emirates oil-export port of Fujairah was hit again, the second time in three days, sending crude prices higher . Read More : Trump Leaves Allies and Foes Guessing on Endgame for Iran Economists are beginning to quantify the potential hit. Goldman Sachs warned the UAE economy could contract by about 5% this year should the conflict continue through April, resulting in a two-month halt of the Strait of Hormuz. Kuwait and Qatar would bear the brunt in that scenario, with their economies taking their biggest hit since the 1990s.

Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul, on the other hand, has held up well, propped up by Aramco. Over the past week, missile interceptions and drone alerts have disrupted flights around major Gulf hubs and forced banks including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup to tell staff in cities such as Dubai to work remotely or stay away from offices. Corporate calendars are shifting as well.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction This is not my first time breaking down Adobe Inc. ( ADBE ) on this platform. I broke it down for the first time in August , followed by a couple more coverage of this stock. The last time, however, was in December when I finally gave it a Buy rating after several Hold ratings. Since then, the stock has been down 28%. It initially rose, but then crashed along with the rest of the software segment. I actually wrote a full article about this recently; you can check out my Five Software Picks To Buy While The Market Panics . Previous Coverage Most of this 28% drop since my last coverage was due to AI-related fears across the broader software industry, not necessarily to Adobe as a specific company. I’ve discussed this many times, and if you follow me, you know my argument that these fears are way overdone. People are afraid that workers in companies will become more efficient so that companies will hire fewer people, and, as a result, software companies, which sell “seats,” will sell fewer. Even if AI makes workers more efficient, it will take years before we see any real negative impact on software companies, if any appears at all, as they are not staying “frozen” either. They progress, and often, use AI for their own benefit. I could talk about this for hours because, in my opinion, the logic of the market is flawed. People are also afraid companies will use AI to write their own software and stop using professional services. But AI today doesn't work without a human being. To actually replace a service, you would need several developers. In the U.S., you’d pay a minimum of $200,000 per year per developer for software that likely won’t be as good as what the specialized companies provide. I am very skeptical of this "DIY" idea, especially knowing how many different software services each business uses. Every company should do what it is good at. I’ve noted before that while hyperscalers make their own chips , th...

adventtr/iStock via Getty Images The war continues to dominate, but the dollar is trading lower against the G10 currencies. April WTI is trading in around a $3 range on both sides of $99 a barrel. US and European benchmark 10-year yields are a little softer. If the markets seem calmer, recognize that it is precarious, as the fog of war limits visibility. Meanwhile, Chinese macro data for February were reported mostly a little better than expected, French municipal elections race run-off is next weekend, and the key is who can form alliances Before the weekend, a US federal court blocked the Justice Department’s subpoena of the Federal Reserve and US attorney for the District of Columbia (Pirro) says she will appeal, but it appears no formal decision has been made. The shift in the calculation of the US PCE deflator from using the CPI measure of legal services to the PPI estimate caught the market by surprise, as it was not announced or explained, but seems to have taken about 0.1% off the core measure, playing on fears of the integrity of US data. Prices G10 • The euro reached almost $1.1480 today in European turnover. After initially falling on Friday in early European trading, slightly below $1.1435, the euro recovered to around $1.1490. The bounce was already taking place before the US Q4 25 GDP was revised to 0.7% from 1.4% initially. However, in the afternoon of NY, the euro was sold, pushed to new lows a little above $1.1410, as if the short-term market wanted to be long US dollars, exacerbation of the fog of war over the weekend. • The yen was the strongest G10 currency before the weekend, slipping 0.20% against the dollar. The market seemed to grow cautious in front of the JPY160 level, to which we attribute psychological significance, and note that options for $845 mln struck there expire today. It reached JPY159.75. That area has held today, and the greenback slipped to almost JPY159.15. If intervention is a ladder, Japanese officials have barely stepped o...

华尔街大型银行的策略师表示，尽管伊朗战争带来风险，但他们对美股的投资逻辑依然成立。 油价上涨、生活成本担忧以及美联储利率前景不确定，推动标普500指数录得自去年4月关税风波以来最差的两周表现。尽管如此， 高盛 集团、 摩根士丹利 和 摩根大通 的策略师指出，盈利增长以及估值支撑仍在，虽然后者依旧偏高，但程度已经不再像以前那样。 高盛团队表示，他们预计标普500指数最终将恢复上涨，延续地缘政治风险事件后市场通常会重新上行的历史模式。 高盛的Ben Snider在一份报告中写道：“虽然潜在结果的分布范围很广，但我们基本情景预测中的宏观不利因素似乎已被市场消化，盈利增长这一基本面引擎仍在持续运转，而估值尽管相对历史水平仍然偏高，但比几个月前要合理得多。” 摩根士丹利的Michael Wilson表示，市场“早已远远领先于如今显而易见的那些风险”。他指出，尽管“在最终低点形成之前，我们不能排除短期内持续波动的可能性”，但从六到十二个月的视角来看，他仍然看好美股。 “盈利加速仍在继续，目前的形势与以往周期末期油价飙升导致商业周期结束的情况截然不同，”Wilson表示，并补充称，这一次要让油价上涨产生那样严重的冲击，“门槛仍然很高”。 Wilson对标普500指数的年终基准目标位为7800点，这意味着较上周五收盘水平还有大约18%的上涨空间。高盛的Snider则预计，该基准指数将升至7600点。 随着美国和以色列对伊朗的战争进入第三周，原油价格上涨推高了美国国债收益率，并在通胀担忧升温之际抑制了市场对美联储降息的押注。霍尔木兹海峡成为全球关注焦点，任何持续性的中断都可能加深市场对这场冲突将带来更严重全球经济风险的担忧。 不过，自伊朗战争爆发以来，股票市场到目前为止仅出现温和回落，发达市场中技术上处于超卖状态的股票占比还不到20%。 摩根大通全球策略师Mislav Matejka领衔的团队指出：“冲突爆发前的基本面有利于股票市场，经济活动强劲，盈利势头良好，我们认为这种情况并未发生显著变化。” 另一方面，亚洲的股票策略师对这场冲突潜在影响的态度更为谨慎。银河海外表示，若战争长期持续，全球股票市场可能会出现10%到15%的回调。Emmer Capital和Gavekal Capital则对股票市场中的自满迹象发出警告。 责任编辑：何云

Scientists have discovered that male fireflies in a South Carolina swamp follow local interaction rules to synchronize their flashing mating displays. The research is being presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society in Denver. ( A preprint is also available on the biorxiv.) Such work could one day lead to insights into how the body's cells sync to its internal circadian rhythm, or how neurons fire together in the brain, as well as the design of drone swarms communicating through synchronized flashes. As previously reported , research into swarming and flocking was largely relegated to observational biologists for decades. But in the 1980s, a computer graphics specialist named Craig Reynolds developed the so-called “boids” program , an agent-based computational model that has dominated collective behavior studies ever since. In such a model, each individual unit in a swarm is a dot moving in a straight line at a constant speed. By introducing a few simple rules regarding interactions between dots, a flocking pattern will emerge once the dots get dense enough. Another set of rules will produce a swarming pattern, and so forth. Fire ants provide a textbook example of this kind of collective behavior. A few ants spaced well apart behave like individual ants. But pack enough of them closely together, and they behave more like a single unit, exhibiting both solid and liquid properties. You can pour them from a teapot like ants, or they can link together to build towers or floating rafts—a handy survival skill when, say, a hurricane floods Houston. They also excel at regulating their own traffic flow. You almost never see an ant traffic jam. Read full article Comments

CytomX Therapeutics (CTMX) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.22 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.08. This compares to earnings of $0.22 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -175.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this biopharmaceutical company would post a loss of $0.04 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.09, delivering a surprise of -125%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. CytomX Therapeutics, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $0.66 million for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 90.98%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $38.09 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. CytomX Therapeutics shares have added about 9.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 3.1%. What's Next for CytomX Therapeutics? While CytomX Therapeutics has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of...

This Polycrisis Is Unique Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, When understood as a wave, the current Everything Bubble is not sustainable. The problem with predictions based on the past is the analogies we discern are interpretations which means if we like one interpretation more than the alternatives, we stretch the present crisis and past crises to fit our preferred interpretation. Two round pegs pounded into square holes? No problem. Past eras are never perfect analogies because Things Change (March 3, 2026) If we're not trying to force an analogy that fits our pre-selected preferred interpretation, then we have to be open to the possibility that the present crisis has no historical analog of predictive value. Consider the remarkable confluence of cycles and waves in the present era. Richard Bonugli and I discussed this confluence in our podcast Current Waves and Cycles: Energy, Commodities, Inflation (38 min). Such a confluence generates a polycrisis , a series of overlapping, inter-connected, mutually reinforcing crises that are immune to simplistic solutions. Even if you're skeptical of cycles (for the reason stated above, that timelines seem shoehorned into a model that doesn't actually fit), it's noteworthy that so many cycles have reached crisis points in this historical moment. 1. The Fourth Turning cycle of 80 years / four generations. (1781, 1861, 1841, 2021) 2. the 18-year stock market cycle. (1973, 1991, 2008-09, 2026-27) 3. Peter Turchin's 50-year cycle (which occur in 50-year increments in long-wave cycles). There are other cycles that might in play: sunspots, etc. These three are representative, not comprehensive. These cycles identify the present as a period of unavoidable, transformative crisis / resolution / dissolution. This confluence alerts us to the possibility that analogs from the past will mislead rather than enlighten. If you're skeptical of cycles, then the difference between cycles and waves is worth studying. Author Dav...

General Motors Company GM got approval for its industrial bank application in January, marking a significant step in expanding its funding capabilities. Industrial banks operate under regulatory frameworks similar to those of traditional banks but with a narrower scope. They enable companies to accept deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation into savings accounts, which automakers were previously unable to do. These deposits can generate earnings while offering consumers additional savings opportunities. The development comes after years of planning and at a time when vehicle affordability remains a key concern in the automotive industry. In the United States, average transaction prices hover around $50,000, and nearly half of auto loan borrowers are opting for terms longer than six years, per LendingTree. The conditional approval is expected to complement GM Financial’s existing funding platform rather than replace it. By introducing products such as high-yield savings accounts and brokered deposits, the bank will provide an additional funding channel. As it scales, this complementary structure is anticipated to gradually reduce funding costs by several basis points, an outcome that could have a meaningful impact on the company’s broader debt profile over time. GM carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here. Apart from General Motors, Ford Motor Company F has received conditional approval to establish an industrial bank. Deposits held at Ford Credit Bank could be used to finance vehicle purchases, accessories, EV chargers, software upgrades and related offerings. The company plans to provide certificates of deposit and indirect financing for Ford and Lincoln vehicles through its dealer network. Its broader aim is to deliver a seamless customer experience, making financing through Ford Credit Bank feel no different from using its traditional Ford Credit arm. In contra...
