We're poised for a rough start to the week, after Wall St saw a sizeable drop last Friday to cap off a highly volatile week. The Dow Jones lost 1%, the S&P500 fell 1.3%, while the Nasdaq lost 1.6%. On top of the ramifications of the ongoing Middle East conflict, investors also reacted to softer than expected US Jobs data which was released on Friday, adding to the sell-off.What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the ASX is set to nosedive this morning, with the SPI futures pointing to a 1.8% drop at the open of trade today. The biggest story remains commodities, particularly Crude Oil. The supply fears remain around the Strait of Hormuz, which showed no signs of subsiding after President Trump's latest rhetoric on Truth Social, in which he claimed there would not be an end to the war without “unconditional surrender” from Iran. Crude Oil is currently trading at US$92 per barrel, the first time it has crossed the US$90 benchmark in nearly 2 years. This brings the total price gain for the week to 35% - the highest week price gain since oil futures began trading in 1983. Despite the volatility across the rest of the market precious metals remain trading relatively stably – Gold is currently trading at US$5158 per ounce, continuing to rest around the $5100 mark it has sat at for the last few days. Silver similarly is currently trading at US$84.40 per ounce, representing a gain of 2.5%.Finally, looking at some trading ideas for today: Bell Potter maintain their Buy rating on athlete tracking solutions provider Catapult Sports (ASX:CAT), with a 12 month price target of $4.85, reinforcing it as one of their preferred tech stocks in the mid cap range. They also maintain their buy rating on agricultural chemicals supplier Nufarm (ASX:NUF) with a 12 month price target of $3.60, which at the current price of $2.12 per share implies a 70% capital growth over the period.

Il 28 febbraio 2026 inizia la guerra. Droni iraniani intercettati sopra Riyadh, lo Stretto di Hormuz sotto minaccia, il Golfo Persico nella sua fase più instabile dagli anni Ottanta. Eppure il Tadawul recupera quasi interamente lo shock iniziale in cinque sedute. Il motore è Saudi Aramco: pesa il sedici per cento dell'indice, sale con il petrolio, e trascina il mercato con sé. Una contraddizione strutturale che in questa puntata analizziamo dall'interno, visto che dal primo febbraio la borsa saudita si è aperta a qualsiasi tipologia di investitore.

Les chiffres parlent d'eux-mêmes. Depuis le début du conflit, le S&P500 est en baisse de 1.4%. En Europe, le CAC40 recule de 5.6% et c'est presque 6% de baisse sur le DAX. Depuis deux jours l'Europe se fait massacrer pendant que les USA font plus que limiter la casse. Difficile d'analyser la réaction des intervenants, … Continued

Overnight, Wall St saw a rebound from yesterday's sell off, as investors fears about surging oil prices and an extended conflict in the Middle East were allayed somewhat. The Dow Jones added 0.5%, the S&P500 gained 0.8%, while the Nasdaq was the biggest winner adding 1.3%, spurred by chip stocks such as Micron and AMD gaining 6%.What to watch today:Back home, the ASX is set for a similar rebound, after yesterday's session saw $60 billion erased from its market cap in a 1.9% drop the second worst day since last April's Liberation Day. The SPI futures indicate the ASX will open 1.1% higher. Moving to some trading ideas for today, Bell Potter have maintained their buy rating on Endeavor Group (ASX:EDV), with a 12 month price target of $4.15, as they believe that market expectations are low for the company's strategic refresh, leaving room for greater upside potential.They also maintain their buy rating on Genusplus Group (ASX:GNP) with a 12 month price target of $9.50, after the company announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of Railtrain Holdings Pty Ltd for a total consideration of $55 million, solidifying its track record of strong M&A strategy. Finally ending on some commodities news, which have somewhat stabilised after a few days of heightened volatility. The surging Crude Oil has flattened, trading just 1.8% up at around $75 per barrel, largely due to President Trump's pledge to deploy the US navy to provide risk insurance for all tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Precious metals have seen similar trends, with Gold up 0.9% to US$5133 per ounce, and silver up 1.5% to US$82 per ounce. Gold especially has seen a conflict of both headwinds and tailwinds of late, as geopolitical uncertainty creates safe haven demand, however a strong US dollar and inflation fears from higher energy costs put downward pressure on the price. 

Wall St plunged overnight as the US-Iran conflict showed no signs of slowing down, with all 3 indexes down more than 2 and half percent at their lowest points of the day. However, shares did somewhat recover in the afternoon, with the major indexes ending up closing around 1% down – the Dow Jones lost 0.8%, the S&P500 0.9% and the Nasdaq shed 1%. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the ASX is poised to see a similar result, with the SPI futures pointing to a 1.4% drop at the open of trade today. Global markets are reacting to growing threat that this conflict will last longer than initially expected, passing beyond a brief exchange of missiles. The RBA is also due to release Australia's 4th quarter GDP data at 11:30am, with economists forecasting a 0.6% lift quarter to quarter, which will take annual growth to 2.2%. Results that fall significantly short of this could cause the markets to react accordingly. Following their record results yesterday, Bell Potter have maintained their Buy rating on Life360 (ASX:360), with a 12-month price target of $40 per share, based on their updated revenue and EBITDA forecasts for 2026 and 2027. Bell Potter have also maintained their Buy recommendation on ALS (ASX:ALQ), with a target price of 12 month price target of $28 per share, based on strengthening industry tailwinds and higher exploration spend. Finally, ending on commodities news, which have remained volatile overnight. Crude Oil peaked at over US$80 yesterday, but has since come down to US$75 per barrel as supply chain fears around the Strait of Hormuz persist. President Trump has suggested that the US navy could be deployed to escort ships through the Strait if necessary, providing the market some relief. Precious metals also saw significant pullbacks – Gold is down 4.3% to just under US$5100 per ounce, while silver is down 8% to US$82 per ounce.

It was a volatile trading day on Wall St yesterday as the US market reacted to the weekend's geopolitical developments in the Middle East. All 3 major indexes saw a major sell off in the morning, dropping over 1.5% at intraday lows. However, the afternoon saw a recovery as investors jumped on the buy opportunities. At the end, the S&P500 closed up 0.04%, the Nasdaq closed up 0.4% and the Dow Jones edged down slightly 0.2%. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the SPI futures are indicating that the ASX will waver, with a 0.2% drop at the open of trade. Although the bulk of reporting season is behind us, keep an eye on popular tech name Life360 (ASX:360), which is due to release its quarterly results this morning. The biggest story of the day remains in commodities, which are still volatile following the weekend's news. Crude Oil prices remain heavily inflated due to fears of supply chain disruption. As of this morning, it is trading up 6.4% at just over US$71 per barrel. The major risk factor sending the price higher is threats to the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway bordered by Iran to the north through which about 20% of the world's seaborne oil trade flows.  If this is blockaded further, it would cause a significant undersupply, causing crude oil prices to skyrocket. Gold is also trading higher, trading up another 1% to US$5330 per ounce. This spike comes as gold remains a traditional safe haven for investors during periods of volatility. In contrast, silver, which usually follows a similar trend to gold, is trading down 4.7% at US$89 per ounce. The reason for the disparity is that unlike Gold, around 50% of silver's value remains tethered to industrial usage and demand, which has wavered in the face of possible supply chain risks. This industrial demand is what pushed silver so high so quickly in comparison to gold over the last few months, but it is also the reason why it sees more volatility than gold. During this period of geopolitical uncertainty, the Gold price will continue to have significant tailwinds behind it, which creates a buying opportunity in the gold industry. One such stock that Bell Potter recommends with a speculative Buy rating is Santana Minerals (ASX:SMI), which they give a target price of $1.70 per share. The company completed the first tranche of a $130m institutional share placement, providing it with the funds raised to develop its flagship gold project in New Zealand.

We're set for a rocky start to the week following the extreme developments out of the Middle East we saw over the weekend, with US airstrikes on Iran and Iran's responsive strikes on Israel and the US Middle East bases. We're expected to see a lot of market movement and activity when markets open today. Looking at Friday's close in the US, the Dow Jones closed 1.1%, the S&P500 down 0.4%, and the Nasdaq closed 0.4% lower. The 10-year yield fell below 4% for the first time since November and the US 10- year and 2-year Treasury yields each dropped 6 points to 3.95% and 3.38% respectively.What to watch today:Looking at the day ahead, the SPI futures are suggesting that the Australian market will drop 0.2% at the open this morning. We'll be closely watching the market's reactions to the US-Iran conflict, however there may be some commodities and sectors that could benefit, including gold, oil and defense stocks. Looking at commodities, Crude oil has jumped 2.8% to US$67.00 per barrel. Gold is up 1.8% to US$5,278.00. Gold has been rallying in the last few weeks and is expected to advance when trading resumes. Before the weekend, Gold prices rose to a one-month high and a seventh straight month of gains, due to geopolitical tensions ahead of the weekend strikes While iron ore is trading flat. Copper futures reached a four-week high on Friday which was also the seventh consecutive month of gains. The price is up 0.97% to US$6.00 per pound. As for foreign exchange, the Australian dollar is down 12c to US$71.13 and we may see some pressure on currencies today. And as our local reporting season draws to a close, February marked a third straight monthly gain and finished 3.7% higher. We saw 335 companies release their financial results, with 119 beating expectations, 109 in line with expectations and 107 missing market expectations. With much stock specific news driving market movements, two of Bell Potter's most relent recommendations include gold producer Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL) and developer Summerset Group (ASX:SUM). Bell Potter have maintained their Buy rating on Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL) and their 12-month price target at $14.60. At the current price of $8.51, implying 72% share price growth in a year. And they have lowered their 12-month target on Summerset Group (ASX:SNZ) to  NZ$14.40, while their Buy rating remains unchanged. The current share price if NZ$10.66, implying 35% share price growth in a year. 

Con questo episodio inizio una serie di analisi sui mercati mondiali ex-U.S.A. che lo scorso anno e nei primi mesi del 2026 hanno regalato o meno performance interessanti. Il primo protagonista è il Brasile, di cui nel passato ho tessuto le lodi. Dopo l'andamento straordinario del 2025 e dei primi mesi del 2026 da parte dell'IBOVESPA è doveroso fare delle riflessioni.

El S&P 500 se convirtió en la vara con la que todos medimos nuestras inversiones… pero, ¿tiene sentido? En este episodio hablamos de qué representa realmente, por qué nos comparamos contra él casi por inercia y si deberías estar midiendo tus inversiones contra ese índice o contra algo muy distinto. Tal vez la pregunta no es si le estás ganando al mercado, sino si tu estrategia está alineada con tu plan financiero.

Starting off overseas, Wall St saw a second consecutive day of solid growth, built again on growing momentum in tech stocks. Nvidia saw a 1% rise ahead of its earnings report, which is scheduled for later this morning Sydney time and will have massive implications for the volatile tech sector. The S&P500 added 0.8%, the Dow Jones increased 0.6%, and the Nasdaq was the biggest winner, adding 1.3% on the day. What to watch today:Looking ahead to today, the ASX is expected to join Wall St with back-to-back advances, building on yesterday's momentum with a 0.7% jump at the open today. The bulk of reporting season is already behind us, however there are still some big names to come. Keep an eye on Qantas (ASX:QAN) and Ramsey Healthcare (ASX:RHC) results, which are scheduled for this morning. Check out Bell Direct's reporting season landing page to access all the key info in one spot, including the interactive calendar where you can view the results from all the big companies, as well as see which ones are still upcoming. After their blockbuster results yesterday, Bell Potter's research team have maintained their Buy rating on Woolworths (ASX:WOW), and updated their 12-month price target to $38.25 per share, citing the pickup in top line growth in the Australian food business. And the team have maintained their buy rating on Amplitude Energy (ASX:AEL), with a 12 month price target of $3.40 per share, after their reported underlying EBITDA and underlying NPAT met expectations. Ending on commodities news this morning: Crude Oil has dropped slightly to US$65.50 per barrel. In precious metals, gold has edged up 0.5% to $5170 per ounce, while silver is up 2.3% at $89 per ounce.

Technology stocks led US equity markets higher overnight ahead of Nvidia Corp's much anticipated quarterly result after the closing bell - Dow rose +308-points or +0.63% International Business Machines (IBM) Corp (up +3.58%) and UnitedHealth Group Inc (+3.74%) rallied over >3.5%.The broader S&P500 gained +0.81%. Information Technology (up +1.79%) and Financials (+1.68%) gained over >1.5% to lead just five of the eleven primary sectors higher. Industrials (down -0.79%) and Real Estate (-0.69%) sat at the foot of the primary sector leaderboard. Axon Enterprise Inc jumped +17.55% after the technology company in global public safety posted a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter result after the closing bell of the previous session.

Overnight in the US, Wall St rebounded from yesterday's sell off, spurred by software stocks as investors fears of AI disruption were eased. The tech heavy Nasdaq lead the way jumping 1%, while the S&P500 and Dow Jones both advanced 0.8%.What to watch today:Back home the ASX is expected to follow suit, with the SPI futures pointing to a 0.75% jump at the open of trade.In reporting season, gaming machine supplier Light and Wonder (ASX:LNW) has reported a 4% rise in revenue to US$3.3 billion, an adjusted net profit before amortisation increase of 18% to US$567 million, which puts them firmly in line with guidance.Other major companies are due to release their results this morning, including Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG), Woolworths (ASX:WOW) and WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC).So far this reporting season, 206 companies have reported their results, with 38% beating expectations, 32% in line, and 30% missing expectations.Following on from their results, Bell Potter have upgraded end-to-end mining technology solutions provided Imdex (ASX:IMD) from a hold to a buy, and increased their 12-month price target from $3.60 to $4.60 per share. This comes after they announced an underlying EBITDA increase of 22% YoY, which beat forecast by 9%.Similarly, they have maintained their Buy rating on electrical equipment distributor IPD group (ASX:IPG), with a 12-month price target of $5.30, after thei announced an 8% underlying EBITDA increase YoY, which represented a 2% beat on forecast.Additionally today, keep an eye on the January CPI data which is due at 11:30am Sydney today – NAB analysts have predicted that both headline and trimmed-mean inflation will remain unchanged for the month, so any unexpected changes could impact the markets.Finally ending with commodities news,Crude oil has once again remained flat for the 3rd consecutive day, trading at slightly over US$66 per barrel.For precious metals, both gold and silver have pulled back slightly from yesterday's highs, with the former down 1.3% to US$5161 per ounce, and the latter down 1% to US$87.30 per ounce.

Wall Street was down overnight, and sharply too. The Nasdaq and S&P500 both fell over 1%, and the Russell 2000 dropped 1.6%. The VIX rose 10% as AI disruption, tariffs and Iran suck the confidence out of investors and blur the outlook. US financials were hit hard after a report modelled potential AI disruption to the finance industry. The sector was the worst in the S&P500, falling 3.5%. Even the big and prestigious names aren't immune. JP Morgan dropped 4.2% and Citigroup 4.5%.The technology sector was mildly better, “only” falling 1.3%.  AI fears are likely to roll through every sector and leave havoc in their wake.  Even if it doesn't hit earnings directly, the premium investors will pay for business with exposure could shrink badly here.SPI futures up 27 points.

The performance of midstream last year didn't align with the fundamentals. This is clear when you consider the periods either side (2024 and 2026YTD). Last year, the sector lagged and many investors became frustrated with the underperformance versus the S&P500, which really means versus the big AI hyperscalers. In 2024 midstream investors grasped the need […]

All three US equity benchmarks closed in the green after the US Supreme Court ruled against some of US President Donald Trump's global tariffs. The Dow Jones closed 0.47% higher, the S&P500 up 0.69%, while the tech- heavy Nasdaq advanced 0.9%. What to watch today:Following US equities, our local market is set to rise 0.18% according to the SPI futures.As we enter the final week of reporting season, the local market continues to be driven by stock-specific movements. Some notable updates from this mornings financial reports include: Fisher and Paykel Healthcare (ASX:FPH) have upgraded their earnings guidance for the year to March. Reece (ASX:REH) reported a 20% fall in profit for their first-half.Kogan.com (ASX:KGN) increased its interim dividend by 14.3% to 8c, however profit dropped to $8.2 million.Nuix (ASX:NXL) reached a net profit of $11.1 million for the half, in comparison to a loss of $10.4 million a year prior. And Ampol (ASX:ALD) has reported a 33% drop in net profit for the full year. Two companies Bell Potter are watching this week include Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) and Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX). The broker maintains a Buy rating on MIN with a 12-month price target of $70.00. At the current share price of $51.25, this implied 36.6% share price growth in the year. And Bell Potter also maintain a Buy rating on Telix, but have lowered their price target from $23.00 to $19.00. At the current price of $10.43, this implies 82.2% share price growth in a year. Among the long list of companies reporting today are Adairs (ASX:ADH), Lendlease Group (ASX:LLC), Praemium (ASX:PPS) and Regis Healthcare (ASX:REG). In commodities, Crude Oil is in the green at US$66.48 per barrel, nearing a six- month high following news that the US President is considering a limited military strike on Iran.The price of Gold has rallied over 2% to US$5,109.17 an ounce. The appeal for gold was reinforced due to two key factors. First, following the Supreme Court's ruling against reciprocal duties, the initial dollar retreat was quickly offset by statements from the US President around signing a new 10% global tariff. In addition to the trade policy pivot, US GDP data for Q4 was a disappointing report at 1.4%. And iron ore is trading lower at US$99.33 per tonne. 

Wall Street finished higher for the last session as the market received the Supreme Court ruling over Trump's tariffs and liked it. The Nasdaq rose 0.9% and the S&P500 0.7%, with European stocks positive too. The Financial Times says investors are pouring record sums into the eurozone to diversify away from the USA. Suddenly Europe's lack of tech titans is looking like a shelter away from the unpredictability of AI.SPI Futures up 16 points.

Starting in the US this morning, where Wall St saw a positive day lead by a rally in the technology sector. Megacap Nvidia lead the way with a 2% gain, after Meta announced that they would be expanding their deal to use millions of Nvidia AI chips in their data centre buildout. At the close of the day's trade, the S&P500 advanced 0.6%, the Dow Jones added 0.3%, while the tech heavy Nasdaq saw the biggest gains with a 0.8% jump.What to watch today:Locally today, the ASX is expected to follow Wall St and add to its winning streak of late, with the SPI futures pointing to a 0.5% climb at the open of trade. As for reporting season, it's a busy day today with a stack of notable companies releasing results. Australia's largest Telco Telstra (ASX:TLS) this morning announced a 9% increase in net profit to $1.1 billion, as its revenue remained flat however expenditure had declined. It will pay an interim dividend of 10.5 cents per share, up from 9.5 cents last year. Although not released at time of recording, keep an eye on a number of big results to come out throughout this morning, including Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO), Wesfarmers (ASX:WES), Goodman Group (ASX:GMG) Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC), Downer (ASX:DOW) , among many more. So far this reporting season, we've seen 83 companies release their results, with 31 beating expectations, 32 in line with expectations and 20 missing expectations. Following their results yesterday, Bell Potter have upgraded their rating on TechnologyOne from a Hold to a buy, with a 12-month price target of $29 per share after the company reported their guidance for FY26. And finally ending on commodities news, crude oil prices have jumped 4 and a half percent to US$65 per barrel as investors reacted to talks in both the US – Iran tensions and Russia – Ukraine conflict ending without clear breakthroughs. The geopolitical uncertainty has also affected precious metals prices, with gold rebounding 2% to just under US$5000 per ounce, while silver has jumped 5% to US$77 per ounce.

It was a modest night of action on Friday as far as Wall Street is concerned. The S&P500 and the Nasdaq were essentially flat while the Russell 2000 outperformed, up 1%. Small caps keep showing more life than the big caps. Inflation data for January increased less than expected thanks to cheap “gas” and moderating housing rents. In the 12 months through to January, the CPI increased 2.4%. The reading was 2.7% in December. The market raised the odds of a June rate cut in response. 9 out of 11 S&P500 sectors were positive. Apple slipped again, down 2%, as was Nvidia. US financials, and the wider chip stocks, were solid but little moved. Gold shares rallied in response to a positive session for bullion.SPI Futures up 51 points. ASX set to open higher.Gold rallied a solid 2%, and silver did the same. Oil was steady, no doubt bolstered in part by the news a second US aircraft carrier is heading to the Middle East. Trump is flexing American muscle as Iran talks continue. Industrial metals were weak in London and iron ore is fading as Chinese demand still looks tepid. Copper inventories crossed over 1 million tons for the first time in 20 years. Bitcoin rallied 5% as it tries to form a base after the recent price collapse. Lost some of those gains over the weekend. Another big week of earnings for the ASX coming up.TWE - BEN - JBH out this morning.—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Todayhttp://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus TodayUse code MTPODCAST for 10% offhttp://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF PortfolioA professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing.http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About InvestingA short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

US equities closed mixed on Friday following the release of the inflation report which came in just slightly lower than the market was expecting. US CPI rose 0.2% in January, reflecting a gain of 2.4% on an annualised basis, while a 0.3% MoM gain was expected.   The S&P500 rose just above the flat light, up 0.05%, the Dow Jones flat, just 0.1% higher, while the Nasdaq declined 0.22%.  What to watch today:  Locally, the ASX200 is set to gain 0.58% at the open this morning, ahead of the release of key earnings results from big names reporting today:JB Hi Fi (ASX:JBH) has just released their half year results this morning, with total sales and NPAT both up more than 7%, EPS increased by 19cps to 279.7cps from HY25 and an interim dividend of 210cps, up 23.5%, representing 75% of NPAT. Bell Potter currently have a Buy rating on JBH.The a2 Milk Company (ASX:A2M) posted a 18.8% rise in revenue and lifted FY26 guidance, as well as an interim dividend of 11.5cps fully franked. It's share price will be on watch today. Ansell (ASX:ANN), Aurizon Holdings (ASX:AZJ), BlueScope Steel (ASX:BSL) and New Hope Corporation (ASX:NHC) are also set to report today.As for what Bell Potter are looking at today: Following Nick Scali (ASX:NCK)‘s first half NPAT up 11% above expectations, Bell Potter maintain a Buy rating, however have lowered their price target by 11% to $25.00 due to softer growth into the second half, earnings revisions and the rising interest rate environment. And one to watch in the resources sector following the release of first half earnings is Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST). Bell Potter maintain a Buy rating and have increased their 12-month price target from $31.10 to $35.00. At the current share price of $28.37 this implies 23.4% share price growth in a year.  In commodities: Crude oil is up to US$62.89 per barrel, with a second straight weekly decline, amid persistent oversupply concerns. The International Energy Agency reiterated that the market is likely to face a surplus of just over 3.7 million barrels per day in 2026. The price of gold is up almost 2.5% to US$5,043.92 per tonne, as softer-than-expected US inflation eased pressure on Treasury yields and weighed on the dollar. Iron ore is down to US$99.66 and over the past month, Iron Ore's price has fallen 7.45%. So keep watch of iron ore miners this week as BHP Group (ASX:BHP) reports tomorrow.To end, AUD$1.00 is currently buying US$0.70.

Die autoritäre Wende in den USA führt zu Protesten auf den Straßen, aber auch zu neuen Aktionen, mit denen die Macht der Trump-Administration eingedämmt werden soll.Der Podcaster und Marketing-Professor Scott Galloway hat eine Kampagne unter dem Titel „Resist and Unsubscribe“ gestartet, mit der er gerade medial auf allen Kanälen vertreten ist. Die Konsumenten sollen ihre Abos bei den Tech-Konzernen kündigen, damit diese unter Druck gesetzt werden, gegen Donald Trump zu rebellieren, statt wie bisher alles mitzutragen oder gar noch die tödlichen Aktionen von ICE durch ihre Infrastruktur zu unterstützen.Galloway will den Shareholder-Value und damit den S&P500 angreifen, um Unternehmen zum Widerstand zu bringen. Auf einer Homepage listet Galloway alle Unternehmen auf, deren Abos man deabonnieren soll. Auch Rutger Bregman, der Autor des Bestsellers „Im Grunde gut“, ruft zum Boykott von OpenAI auf.Wie wirksam können solche Boykottaktionen sein? Wie ist es demokratietheoretisch einzuordnen, wenn am Markt selbst abgestimmt wird? Darüber diskutieren Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

US shares largely trod water, with the S&P 500 not moving either way. Bond yields rose as the US labour market data came out stronger than expected. That might mean the Fed isn't as quick to cut rates to support jobs. Resources showed some spark, but it's more consolidating the recent rally than further price appreciation. Perhaps the exception is oil, with energy being the best performer in the S&P500. Oil also helped Euro stocks hit record highs. OPEC released its monthly report this week. The group paused production hikes in the first quarter of 2026 but meets on March 1 to decide whether they should resume in April. OPEC says travel and road transport are helping to drive demand. The weaker US dollar also helps.We have a multiple of companies releasing their updates today: ANZ, AMP, IAG, TPW, ASX, ORA, ORG, PME, BRG, NST and S32.—Marcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.If you'd like to go further:Start a free 14-day trial of Marcus Today http://bit.ly/mt-trial-podcastJoin Marcus Today Use code MTPODCAST for 10% off http://bit.ly/mt-join-podcast-offerMT20 – Managed ETF Portfolio A professionally managed portfolio run by Marcus Padley and the team, using ASX-listed ETFs with active market timing. http://bit.ly/mt20-podcastPrinciples – How We Think About Investing A short video series on timing, behaviour, and decision-making.

Terry Smith is the fund manager the professionals love tohate. A billionaire, he is in the third and most successful phase of a varied career. He trounced the index for years with a simple mantra of buy good companies, don't overpay, do nothing. He thus built one of the largest funds inthe UK, made himself a fortune and moved to Mauritius. None of this made him popular with his peers and after 5 years of underperforming the S&P500 (his global fund has been mainly invested in the US) and underperforming the world index in 2025, there is quite a bit of schadenfreude around. Smith used to box for fun and you wouldn't want to be on thewrong side of him, but in this interview, he reveals a side less often seen. He confesses to being unable to sleep at night, worrying about stocks and expresses an extreme desire to do the best for his clients. Smith has been incredibly successful as an analyst, as a public company CEO and now as a fundmanager. He attributes it to hard work and a strong desire to succeed, driven by his background – Smith comes from a poor family and grew up in a house with an outside toilet. He is frustrated with his recent performance but is resolutethat he has the right approach and will prevail eventually.

Crypto News: Bitcoin price seems to be manipulated but a bullish setup is hinting that a major rally is coming. Tech giant to launch crypto wallet, fintech L1s will bomb: Dragonfly exec.Brought to you by

On today's show we are talking about one of the greatest threats to real estate, and it doesn't come from real estate, or even have anything to do with real estate. The word bubble has been making headlines lately with an increasing number of pundits calling the level of investment in AI a bubble. Last week we talked about three styles of investing: fundamentals, momentum and arbitrage. On today's show we are talking about the level to which a bubble has been created, and the discussion is centering around which pin is going to pop the balloon. The emphasis on the pin is misplaced in my view. When you are in a bubble, it feels good. I know. I experienced it in the dot com bubble. My company went public in February of 1999. Much of 1998 was spent in the preparation for the public offering. There were some really good technology companies that lost most of their valuation in the wake of the dot com bubble bursting. Amazon lost 90% of its value. Nvidia lost 85% of its value. Intel lost 80% of its value and Microsoft lost 58% of its value. 1/3 of the value of the S&P 500 is based on just 7 technology companies. If the market wakes up one day and realizes that these companies are over-valued, there will certainly be a correction. If the value of those 7 companies were to be similarly cut down as the dot com related stocks were in the year 2000, what would be the impact on the overall stock market? Let's do a simple thought experiment. Let's say that these 7 stocks lose 80% of their value and that none of the other 493 companies in the S&P500 lose any value. If we see that happen, then the S&P500 would effectively lose 27.2% of its value. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
