China shifted from its longstanding role as a net importer to a small net exporter of refined zinc following a sharp increase in shipments during the fourth quarter.

U.S. stock futures held near unchanged levels early Wednesday after an initial dip, with investors watching developments linked to the Iran conflict and awaiting U.S. inflation figures.

Wolfe Research finds that rising gasoline prices present a potential drag on consumer spending and nominal GDP, but notes that year-to-date increases in tax refunds and near-term fiscal stimulus from the OBBB should help absorb much of the pressure. The firm also expects markets to remain headline-driven in the short term while most investors antic…
S&P 500 futures dipped after reports that Israeli leaders, speaking in closed discussions, see no certainty the bombing campaign will topple Iran’s clerical government. Despite heavy strikes that officials say have killed Iran’s supreme leader and senior commanders, there is little sign of an uprising, and both Israeli and U.S. public messaging on …
The escalation of tensions involving Iran and the accompanying volatility in oil prices have shifted the balance of risks around U.S. monetary policy. Morgan Stanley's chief U.S. economist says the distribution of potential outcomes now favors a later - and in one scenario - a deeper easing cycle by the Federal Reserve. The firm's base case still a…
Deutsche Bank has elevated Argenx (EBR:ARGX) from Hold to Buy and lifted its price target to
APA trades at a single-digit P/E and sub-2x P/B while generating roughly $1.8B of free cash flow. With improving momentum, a maintained $0.25 quarterly dividend and multiple near-term operational catalysts, I see asymmetric upside into $40 over the next 180 trading days with a tight stop at $28.

Israeli officials, speaking in closed discussions, have concluded that there is no certainty the ongoing U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign will topple Iran's clerical government.

Hong Kong raised more than HK$97 billion from initial public offerings in early March, roughly ten times the amount raised in the same period a year earlier, driven by robust trading liquidity and concentrated sponsorship from a handful of underwriters. The surge comes amid modest declines in benchmark indexes and a deep IPO pipeline dominated by o…
Bank of America has updated its projection for the South African Reserve Bank's policy decision on March 26, moving from an anticipated 25 basis point rate cut to a call for no change. The shift reflects concern that a recent rise in oil prices and an expected 10-20% increase in fuel costs in April will elevate headline inflation risks, even as pos…
Esi Sharon-Sagie, a volunteer forensic dentist who helped identify scores of victims after the October 7 attack, was summoned again as the recent U.S.-Israel air assault on Iran sparked a wider regional conflict. She has worked on identifications following an Iranian missile strike in Beit Shemesh and the recovery of remains in Gaza, applying foren…
Uniper's chief executive said forward market prices suggest traders expect the current Middle East conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran to be short-lived. The company is seeing higher near-term gas and power prices, but little to no measurable impact on prices for 2027 and 2028. Uniper reports no direct restrictions on LNG p…
Futures tied to Canada’s primary stock index traded with little direction as market participants monitored developments in the Iran conflict and awaited key U.S. inflation figures. Volatility in oil prices driven by the fighting in the Middle East left sentiment around the commodities-heavy S&P/TSX sensitive, while U.S. futures hovered near flat an…
JPMorgan upgraded Oracle from Neutral to Overweight after the company reported fiscal third-quarter results that beat estimates on several metrics. The bank lowered its December 2026 price target to $210 from $230 but said a steep recent share selloff and pervasive investor pessimism have created a more attractive risk-reward setup. Key drivers cit…
Since airstrikes against Iran began on February 28, military-imposed roadblocks and closures have restricted movement in the occupied West Bank, rights groups, medics and villagers say. That tightening of access has coincided with a marked rise in deadly attacks by Israeli settlers, with at least five Palestinians killed in the past week and delays…
Byrna Technologies reported $118.1M in revenue for FY2025 (up 38% YoY) and remains a small-cap growth story trading near its 52-week low. With expanding retail distribution, production capacity increases, a planned marketing push and a still-modest valuation (market cap ~ $234M; EV/EBITDA ~ 15.8), there is a reasonable asymmetric opportunity for pa…
TSMC (TSM) has pulled back into the low $300s while demand from high-performance computing remains strong. Fundamentals and market share justify buying on a disciplined dip; this trade targets a retest of the 52-week high with a clearly defined stop.
Western Midstream (WES) offers an attractive entry for income-oriented investors: a 9%+ yield, strong free cash flow, and near-term catalysts in produced-water and data-center driven energy demand.
