Bond traders have shifted to wagering on losses in Treasuries, aggressively dumping bullish futures positions after the Mideast conflict triggered a surge in oil prices and sparked inflationary worries . The swing in sentiment, following a big February rally in US government debt, came last week as yields soared along with crude in response to the broadening hostilities. Traders have also pared the amount of Federal Reserve policy easing they expect this year ahead of Wednesday data that’s projected to show inflation remained well above the central bank’s target even before the fighting erupted. Open interest, the amount of risk held by futures traders, shrank across maturities last week, from five-year Treasury notes out to the long-end. On the first trading day after the outbreak of fighting, overall futures risk dwindled by almost $17 million per basis point across the curve, equivalent to roughly 250,000 10-year futures contracts. This month’s slump in Treasuries “is really a deleveraging dynamic,” with traders liquidating long positions as they price in fewer Fed cuts and the risk of hotter inflation, said David Bieber , a strategist at Citigroup Inc. The result is that the futures market has flipped to a tactical short stance for now, he said. Monday’s trading showed how the newly bearish tilt is leaving Treasuries vulnerable to sharp bouts of short covering and volatility. Bonds got a boost late in the day, pushing yields and oil lower, after President Donald Trump told CBS that the Iran war is “very complete, pretty much.” The selling then resumed Tuesday as a wave of corporate debt issuance weighed on fixed income broadly. Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields are up about 20 basis points since Feb. 27, the day before the US and Israel launched their attack on Iran, with most of the move coming last week. The broad move to a short position comes before Wednesday’s release of February’s consumer-price index. It’s forecast to show a year-on-year increase of 2.5% ...

(RTTNews) - Extending yesterday's gains, Canadian stocks climbed on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump's comments on the Middle East conflict yesterday propelled gold prices. Gains in metal-linked stocks pushed the market higher. After opening above yesterday's close, today the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index gave ground initially but soon regained momentum to trade positively through the rest of the session before settling at 33,270.65, up by 81.33 points (or 0.25%). Five of the 11 sectors posted gains today, with the materials sector leading the pack. The U.S.-Israel versus Iran war entered day number 11 today. The Middle East conflict has been sending oil prices to levels unseen in recent years, leading to inflation concerns that have been weighing down on market indices globally. While U.S. President Donald Trump refused to settle for any deal with Iran other than the unconditional surrender, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in an interview with PBS News that talks with the U.S. were no longer on Iran's agenda. Abbas also added that Iran would keep up its missile strikes. The oil blockade through the Strait of Hormuz that started soon after the war began continues to hold, with vessel transit through the chokepoint completely coming to a halt. Separately, air freight transport to the gulf has been crippled due to concerns of missile attacks, leaving many Arab nations with shortages in grocery and food products and other essentials. Markets across the world declined as investors moved away to the U.S. dollar. Inflation concerns left investors to wind up their expectations of any near-term interest rate cuts, both by the U.S. Federal Reserve as well as major central banks of other nations, leading to gains in U.S. dollar value. In a significant development yesterday, in an interview with reporter Weijia Jiang of CBS News, Trump commented that the war with Iran would end "very soon." Trump added that Iran now has no navy, communications, or ai...

Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images One of my perma-buys that I believe has many more structural pros than cons, the Amplify BlackSwan Growth & Treasury Core ETF ( SWAN ) has undeniably underperformed the S&P 500 ( SPY ) across several metrics since its 2018 inception: absolute returns, Sharpe ratio, and even maximum drawdown. At the risk of once again sounding too optimistic about the ETF's future performance, I believe that the fund could finally outperform SPY in 2026 (it did so only once, in 2018, while it lagged the benchmark in seven other years). Today, I discuss the conditions under which this could happen. A Word on SWAN For the sake of those unfamiliar with this ETF, SWAN hides simplicity behind what some may think of as a complex investment strategy. The fund seeks leveraged exposure to an equities and US treasuries portfolio, in part via long positions in call options. The above is a fancy way of saying that the ETF invests in stocks and high-quality bonds, but with a twist: SWAN is leveraged at a factor of about 1.5x Rather than a 6-to-4 ratio of stocks to bonds, SWAN seeks a 4-to-6 allocation instead as an attempt to better risk-balance the exposures (i.e., heavier investment in the less volatile asset). DM Martins Research The two pie charts above show the fund's nominal and notional exposures as of March 2026. SWAN currently holds a total of about 4,300 call option contracts, adding up to only about 11% of the portfolio's allocation to equity instruments/derivatives. It is precisely this position, however, that gives SWAN the leverage that it needs, as the options currently represent about 79% notional allocation to the S&P 500 (the other 89% is currently in treasuries of maturities below 10 years). As I mentioned in previous articles , SWAN is an improvement on the standard 60/40 stock-and-bond portfolio because it (1) first flips the allocation to 40/60, thus better risk-balancing the holdings, (2) leverages the exposure to 1.5x, thus a...

UK fintech Revolut ( REVOLUT ), digital asset firm Zero Hash , and Payoneer ( PAYO ) had recently filed an application for a U.S. national bank charter, among others. The AI lending marketplace said it plans to submit an application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to establish Upstart Bank, N.A., an insured national bank. Furthermore, the San Mateo, California-based company is set to apply to the Federal Reserve for approval to become a bank holding company. Shares were 4.05% higher at $29.30 during Tuesday after-market trading. Upstart's chief risk officer, Annie Delgado, is set to become the CEO of Upstart Bank. "If approved, we look forward to working directly with the OCC, FDIC, and the Fed to set the standard for modern AI model deployment within the banking system," said Delgado. "Applying for a bank charter is the natural evolution of our business as we’ve grown in size, scale, and product offerings. This will allow us to save borrowers even more time and money, and streamline our partnerships with banks, credit unions, and institutional credit funds," said Chief Technology Officer and incoming CEO Paul Gu.

iambuff/iStock via Getty Images Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives pushed back against the ongoing software sector ( IGV ) ( XSW ) selloff Tuesday, calling it the “most disconnected” technology trade he has seen in 15 to 20 years. Speaking at the Future Proof conference on CNBC, Ives argued that concerns about artificial intelligence ( AIQ ) disrupting traditional software companies have been overblown, leading to what he termed an “AI ghost trade” that has unfairly punished the sector. IGV was down 19% so far this year, compared with the S&P 500's ( SP500 ) 0.4% decrease. “It’s ultimately software that the use cases from Salesforce ( CRM ) to ServiceNow ( NOW ) to ultimately cybersecurity is gonna protect the CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), Palo Alto ( PANW ) and others,” Ives said. “I think it’s the most sold off that I’ve seen this sector in decades.” The analyst pointed to recent developments from AI company Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) regarding their agents as a potential bottoming signal for software stocks. He maintained that the real value in AI lies within established software platforms rather than pure-play AI companies. “My whole point is that, yeah, is it gonna disrupt pure play software one trick pony, some vendors? But the reality is the data, the value, it’s in the stacks. It’s in the install bases of the Salesforces, ServiceNows, of ultimately the Workdays ( WDAY ), of the Oracles ( ORCL ),” Ives said. Ives predicted that 30 percent of AI spending will eventually flow to software companies, noting that Palantir ( PLTR ) has already demonstrated the potential for monetization. He also expects consolidation in the sector. “Right now, the Miami cab driver is bearish in software, and I think that’s a bullish sign relative to where I see software this year,” he said.

(RTTNews) - Rio Tinto (RTNTF, RIO, RIO.L, RTPPF, RIO1.DE, RIO.AX) Tuesday said it has secured a $1.175 billion financing package from four international lenders to support development of its Rincon lithium project in Salta Province, Argentina. The financing includes loans from the International Finance Corporation, IDB Invest, Export Finance Australia and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. The funding will support development of the $2.5 billion Rincon lithium project, which aims to produce about 60,000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually. Construction of the facility began last year and includes expansion of worker camps and development of site infrastructure. First production is expected in 2028, followed by a three-year ramp-up to full capacity. Rio Tinto said the project is expected to have a mine life of about 40 years and will form part of the company's strategy to expand its lithium portfolio amid growing demand driven by the global energy transition.
