一项由芬兰、英国等国研究人员合作开展的研究发现，肥胖会显著增加因常见感染而住院甚至死亡的风险。在重度肥胖人群中，这一风险可达正常体重人群的约3倍。研究人员解释说，肥胖似乎会削弱免疫系统应对感染的能力，从而增加常见感染发展为重症的风险。他们强调，肥胖应被视为严重感染的重要危险因素之一，建议肥胖人群尤其要及时接种疫苗，以降低严重感染风险。相关研究成果已发表在英国医学杂志《柳叶刀》上。（新华社）

Lavrov Soberly Acknowledged The Challenges Posed By Trump 2.0 Authored by Andrew Korybko, He calmly acknowledged that it’s now more difficult for Russia to advance its foreign policy goals due to the US’ renewed attempt to dominate the global economy through coercion and force, but he still believes that BRICS will play a pivotal role in furthering the global systemic transition to multipolarity. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently gave an interview to TV BRICS about their namesake organization and its role in the global systemic transition. He began by contextualizing the present moment in history as the interim period between the decline of US-led Western hegemony and the rise of multiple centers of power and influence. These inverse trends have led to friction because “the West is losing its hegemony but keeps on clinging to the institutions set up to secure that hegemony”. The US can no longer fairly compete within the ‘rules-based order’ shaped by none other than itself several generations ago so it’s resorting to “blatantly unfair methods” against its rivals, especially Russia. This includes sanctioning its energy companies, weaponizing sanctions threats against its “major strategic partners” like India (whom Lavrov specified) “to restrict Russia’s trade, investment cooperation, and military-technical ties” with them, and opposing the creation of alternative platforms of any kind. On that last point, Lavrov clarified that “We are not advocating for the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO to cease their existence” and that “President Putin has said on many occasions that we are not the ones refusing to use the dollar . The United States under President Joe Biden did everything to make the dollar a weapon against those who are deemed objectionable. ” BRICS , its proposed economic-financial tools, and other alternative platforms are only meant to complement existing ones and induce reform therein. Russia’s top diplomat soberly acknowledged that “given the...

格隆汇2月15日｜崔东树发文称，在国家促销费政策推动下汽车市场保持强势增长，2025年全国汽车市场总体走势较强，卡车市场和客车市场回暖明显。对比2025年政策力度，今年政策收缩明显，导致今年1月乘用车零售环比下降，但因出口增量，1月厂家销量增速相对较好。1月新能源车走势较平稳，主要是汽车出口市场持续走强，但行业压力仍较大。2026年商用车市场出现设备更新补贴推动的结构性增长特征，高补贴带来物流运输类电动化加速，商用车景气度较高。

格隆汇2月15日丨当地时间13日消息称，受全球可可主产区供应短缺等因素影响，美国巧克力价格持续上涨，今年以来同比涨幅已超过14%。美国市场调研公司“数据汇集”公司的数据显示，今年1月1日至2月初，美国巧克力零售价同比上涨14.4%，其中，丹佛和洛杉矶等城市的巧克力价格同比上涨约17%，达拉斯沃斯堡地区涨幅高达19%。美国巧克力价格走高，主要受核心原料可可豆全球供应短缺影响。西非地区可可豆产量占全球约70%，极端天气导致歉收，曾一度将可可期价推至历史高位。尽管近期国际可可价格明显回落，但目前美国市面上的巧克力产品仍在消化此前高价采购的原料库存，巧克力涨价势头可能在短期内仍将持续。

美國國務卿魯比奧在德國出席慕尼黑安全會議時，談及美中元首預計今年四月會面。他說美中在各自的國家利益上，經常難以一致，美國有責任與中國對話，強調雙方必須盡力管控分歧，避免衝突和摩擦。 美國國務卿魯比奧出席慕尼黑安全會議，在演說後的問答環節，談及美中關係。對於美國總統特朗普預計今年四月訪華，與國家主席習近平會晤，魯比奧表示，美中在各自的國家利益上，往往並不一致，雙方必須盡力管控分歧，避免衝突。 美國國務卿魯比奧說：「(美中)作為全球兩大經濟體，地球上兩大強國，我們有責任與他們(中國)溝通對話。因為我們是兩個大國，擁有廣泛全球利益，我們兩國利益經常不一致。他們的國家利益與我們的國家利益也不一致，我們有責任盡力管控分歧。當然，要避免衝突，包括經濟衝突和其他更嚴重的衝突。」 他又表示，美中之間以及西方與中國之間，存在一些根本性的挑戰，基於種種原因，這些挑戰在可預見的未來仍會持續存在，美中必須盡可能避免不必要的摩擦。 魯比奧表示：「我認為我們(美中)肩負著特殊責任。因為美中在貿易上的任何舉動，都具有全球性影響。我確實認為我們需要盡力管控這些長期挑戰，盡可能避免不必要的摩擦。」 在北京，外交部早前表示，元首外交對中美外交發揮著，不可替代的戰略引領作用，又指中美經貿關係的本質是互利共贏，雙方應落實好兩國元首共同達成的重要共識， 為中美經貿合作與世界經濟，注入更多確定性和穩定性。

SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images Two weeks ago I wrote an article called “ The Market Bubble Is About To Burst .” It caused quite a stir among my subscribers and followers because the title made it sound as if I had turned fully bearish. But this is not the case. Bubbles can continue to inflate for longer than one would expect, and today is no exception. However, the signs of complacency that I see are causing me to be more concerned than I have been recently, which is why I wrote the article. Looking ahead, my bear market probability model puts the odds of a bear market in the next 4-6 months at 25%. That’s not an alarming number, but it’s not zero either. Caution is advised, and it wouldn’t hurt to raise a little more cash just to be safe. S&P 500 Last 4 Weeks The chart below shows how the market started out strong but couldn’t keep the momentum going.

Social Security is the biggest source of income for most retirees. Roughly half of American households with someone age 65 or older receive at least 50% of their annual income from Social Security, according to data collected by the Social Security Administration. So, maximizing that income source may be one of the most valuable retirement strategies. If you want to ensure you receive the maximum amount possible from Social Security during your lifetime, it's simple. You just need to know how much longer you'll live. But assuming your crystal ball is broken, you can use the next best thing: life expectancy projections from the CDC. The most recent update from the CDC provides data that clearly favors a specific claiming age for the average retiree. Here's exactly who should follow it and when you should make exceptions.

OpenAI 首席执行官奥尔特曼在CISCO AI峰会上预言，人工智能正在从辅助人类的工具转变为完全自主的执行者，“全AI企业”的时代即将开启。这一转变标志着传统“软件即服务”模式的终结，取而代之的是“服务即软件”的新范式。在这个新时代，企业竞争优势不再取决于工程师的数量，而在于指挥自主AI系统的战略清晰度。 奥尔特曼近期透露，OpenAI 旗下的“AI Defense”产品很快将实现 100% 由 AI 编写代码。这并非仅仅是技术上的辅助，而是实质性的替代。AI 不再只是帮助构建技术栈，它本身就是技术栈——涵盖代码编写、基础设施搭建及决策制定，全流程自主运行。 奥尔特曼指出， AI 系统不再仅仅是增强工作效率，而是正在从根本上改变组织架构。 在未来的工作流中，AI 将负责构建、部署和优化，人类则负责提供战略方向。简而言之，人类决定“做什么”，AI 决定“怎么做”并执行到底。这种模式下，工程能力不再是制约因素，能够以快于人类团队的速度指导 AI 执行任务将成为核心竞争力。 市场观察人士认为，OpenAI 转向完全自主化并非简单的产品演示，而是证明了这一模型具备取代现有人类组织结构的能力。这一变革意味着，那些仅利用 AI 加速开发流程的企业仍在优化一种濒临消亡的模式，而让 AI 充当开发者的企业将在截然不同的经济现实中运作，令竞争对手在结构上过时。 从辅助到替代：全AI企业的崛起 根据奥尔特曼的设想，“全AI企业”不仅意味着更好的软件，更代表了一种全新的组织架构。在这一架构下，AI 能够执行完整的工作流程，而不仅仅是辅助工程师。 昨天，人们还在使用 AI 工具；明天，AI 将像员工为管理层工作一样为人类服务。 奥尔特曼强调，这一转变的核心在于 AI 将承担代码编写、基础设施管理和日常决策的所有环节。随着 OpenAI 的产品迈向 100% AI 编写代码，传统的工程团队不再是被增强的对象，而是正在面临被“弃用”的风险。这也标志着技术开发的约束条件将从“工程产能”彻底转向“战略清晰度”。 商业模式重构：SaaS已死，服务即软件到来 随着 AI 自主能力的提升，传统的“软件即服务”（Software as a Service‌，SaaS）商业模式正在被重新定义为“服务即软件”（Service as a Software，SaaS）。在这种新模式下，AI 不再仅仅是协助人类...

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Rotation and diversification have been the market’s passwords in recent months. So far in 2026, yield plays and value stocks have outperformed the precisely flat S&P 500 (YTD through Valentine’s Day). One fund that has benefited from money moving out of the Mag 7 and into blue-chip dividend payers is the WisdomTree US Total Dividend Fund ETF ( DTD ). I had a buy rating on the ETF back in December of 2024. Shares have returned 16% since then, outperforming the S&P 500. Today, the valuation is not as compelling, but the chart is on a clear uptrend. I reiterate a buy rating. Value Stocks Gain Ground on Tech StockCharts.com In the Last 68 Years, There Were Only Six Years Where Dividend Levels Declined, and Only One Where They Fell More Than 5% WisdomTree Funds According to the issuer , DTD offers investors exposure to core US all-cap equity from a broad range of dividend-paying companies, and the ETF can be used to complement or replace all-cap value or dividend-oriented active and passive strategies. The fund seeks to track the performance of the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index through representative sampling. DTD has grown just modestly since my previous assessment. It’s a somewhat small fund, now with $1.55 billion in assets under management, up from $1.4 billion last time. The annual expense ratio is low at 28 basis points, while the trailing 12-month dividend yield is 1.88%, more than half a percentage point above that of the S&P 500. Share-price momentum is very strong, rated a B+ by Seeking Alpha’s quantitative scoring system. DTD also boasts solid risk characteristics , with a diversified portfolio and rather modest historical annualized standard deviation metrics. Finally, liquidity looks good . Average daily volume may not be high (near 30,000 shares), but the median 30-day bid/ask spread is decently tight at 13 basis points, per WisdomTree Funds.

Which US States Are Seeing Incomes Rise The Fastest (And Slowest) Since 2019, U.S. household incomes have surged - rising from $68,700 to $83,730 nationally, a 21.9% increase in just five years. But where you live matters a lot. While some states tracked close to the national average, others saw incomes climb at nearly double the pace, driven by booming local industries and major investment. States like Colorado posted outsized gains, while Georgia’s expanding EV industry brought billions in investment and rising paychecks. The map, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows which states saw the fastest growth in median household income from 2019 to 2024, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau . Trends in Median Income by State Below, we show the change in median household income for all 50 U.S. states and D.C. between 2019 and 2024 using nominal figures (not adjusted for inflation): Rank State Change in Median Household Income 2019-2024 Median Household Income 2019 Median Household Income 2024 1 Colorado 46.9% $72,500 $106,500 2 Georgia 43.4% $56,630 $81,210 3 Maine 36.3% $66,550 $90,730 4 Montana 36.1% $60,190 $81,920 5 Tennessee 34.0% $56,630 $75,860 6 Rhode Island 31.6% $70,150 $92,290 7 Massachusetts 29.9% $87,710 $113,900 8 Florida 29.6% $58,370 $75,630 9 Iowa 29.4% $66,050 $85,480 10 Missouri 29.4% $60,600 $78,390 11 California 28.8% $78,100 $100,600 12 New Hampshire 28.7% $86,900 $111,800 13 North Dakota 25.8% $70,030 $88,080 14 Mississippi 25.0% $44,790 $55,980 15 Ohio 24.5% $64,660 $80,520 16 South Dakota 24.3% $64,260 $79,850 17 Michigan 23.9% $64,120 $79,460 18 South Carolina 23.8% $62,030 $76,780 19 Idaho 23.7% $65,990 $81,650 20 Utah 23.0% $84,520 $104,000 21 Wisconsin 22.6% $67,350 $82,560 22 New York 20.8% $71,850 $86,830 23 Texas 20.8% $67,440 $81,490 24 Wyoming 20.8% $65,130 $78,680 25 New Mexico 20.8% $53,110 $64,140 26 Oregon 20.5% $74,410 $89,700 27 Virginia 20.2% $81,310 $97,720 28 Kansas 19.9% $73,150 $87,690 29 Arizona 19.9% $70,670 $84,7...
