由于伊朗战争导致油气供应受阻,能源高度依赖进口的亚洲主要经济体纷纷采取措施确保油气供应。 亚洲各大型制造业经济体正在竞相确保新的石油和天然气供应源、保全储备并互相协调,从而为可能出现的严重短缺做好物资准备。这些经济体担心中东冲突长期化会阻断能源供应,重创自己的经济。 亚洲各国高度依赖经由霍尔木兹海峡(Strait of Hormuz)运输的油气。美国和以色列对伊朗实施打击后,这条重要水路的航运交通已基本停摆。 本周油气价格飙升已冲击亚洲市场并引发通胀担忧,官员们越来越担心实物供应可能遭到冲击。 成为高端会员,阅读高端专享内容 如您已经是高端会员, 请点击这里登录 成为高端会员►

Getty Images BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI ) is a specialized provider of artificial intelligence-powered decision intelligence solutions, which include supply chain, logistics, and cybersecurity. BigBear AI's largest consumers are notably government departments, as demand is growing in the defense sector, especially with all the recent escalations in the Middle East. BigBear AI could benefit if spending is accelerated, with President Trump's next focus potentially being Cuba . Despite the potential for growth with recent developments, poor guidance when 2025's numbers aren't even great, while not even profitable yet, makes it extremely unattractive. Though I'm not bearish on fundamentals and potential being there, it is still at a speculative stage, and high valuations are making me hold off despite already being less than half of its 52W peak. Hence, I'm rating BigBear AI at a 'Hold.' BigBear AI's Business Every aspect of BigBear is obviously related to AI, with AskSage being a 'generative AI platform purpose-built for secure AI deployment, orchestration, and agentic capabilities across defense and other highly regulated environments. Even though private companies don't tend to release how many users/government entities actually use their software, we have some transparency, and AskSage alone has over 100k users across 16k government teams and 100s of commercial organizations. AskSage essentially runs as a government organization's LLM, essentially having large amounts of security compliance, options to different LLMs, vendor lock-in, and FedRAMP High authorization, which is extremely important to have. This creates a moat for AskSage users since it creates high switching costs for government departments, as security compliance isn't easy to get, and the existing relationship between governments is hard to break since BigBear is providing specialized AI to governments that will likely continue to be a key part of the future of government institutions globa...

Dynamic Graphics/Dynamic Graphics Group via Getty Images One of the most incredible things about the stock market in 2026 is how quickly the AI narrative turned from a tailwind to a headwind for stocks. The "SaaSpocalypse" headlines have dominated trading this year and decimated software stocks, with seemingly no end in sight. This gives investors with strong stomachs who prioritize entering at good value a great opportunity to buy stocks like Wix.com ( WIX ). Wix, the web hosting and web creation platform, has seen its revenue and bookings growth pull well ahead of peers, suggesting that Wix is a net winner in the AI race. And yet investors have been dumping the stock as if it were already a legacy play. Over the past year, Wix has lost about 60% of its value: however, a strong "beat and raise" in Q4, alongside commentary on the rapid growth in the company's AI/vibe coding subsidiary, Base44, have helped spark a post-earnings rally. On top of a boosted buyback program, I believe this is the beginning of a much broader rebound for the company. Data by YCharts I last wrote a "Buy" article on Wix in December, when the stock was trading closer to $95 per share. While I acknowledge that my "B uy" call was ill-timed, I have no less conviction in the stock today even after its recent correction. I continue to emphasize that all the data coming out of Wix's most recent earnings supports the narrative that AI is a huge net tailwind, not a headwind for the company. Amid the striking value opportunity we have here, I'm bumping up Wix to a "S trong Buy" rating, representing my highest level of conviction that I reserve for very few stocks. Deep value amid vibrant and growing business, massive buybacks The number-one reason driving my conviction on Wix is the fact that investors already have a highly de-risked entry point in the stock, thanks to the sharp slide over the past year that has been completely incommensurate with actual business fundamentals. This is especially true ...

Investors in ProShares Ultra Silver (Symbol: AGQ) saw new options become available today, for the April 24th expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the AGQ options chain for the new April 24th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest. The put contract at the $144.00 strike price has a current bid of $26.20. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $144.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $117.80 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of AGQ, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $144.90/share today. Because the $144.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 63%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 18.19% return on the cash commitment, or 132.93% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for ProShares Ultra Silver, and highlighting in green where the $144.00 strike is located relative to that history: Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $148.00 strike price has a current bid of $27.20. If an investor was to purchase shares of AGQ stock at the current price level of $144.90/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $148.00.
