Oil prices surge to almost $120bbl overnight before falling back to $108bbl. President Trump says he does not believe the market shock will be prolonged. The G7 reportedly considers a joint release of oil from strategic reserves while reports suggest that Saudi Aramco may offer oil on the spot market. The Nikkei and Kospi lead Asian equity losses while Europe and Wall Street look set for continued sell-off pressure. Iran has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father, Ali, as the country's Supreme Leader to defy President Trump selection wishes.

Week 10 of 2026 brings major geopolitical disruption to the global shipping and ship recycling markets as escalating conflict in the Middle East sends shockwaves through energy markets, trade routes, and demolition pricing across the Indian Subcontinent. Following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and rising regional instability, oil prices surged sharply above USD 110 per barrel, driving higher operating costs across global shipping. War risk premiums, vessel rerouting, and energy price volatility are beginning to influence ship recycling sentiment across key demolition destinations, including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. In this episode, Ingrid and Henning analyze how geopolitical tensions, fuel market volatility, steel price movements, and currency fluctuations are shaping buyer behavior and demolition pricing across the global ship recycling industry. Despite increasing uncertainty, the recycling markets remain disciplined, with buyers maintaining cautious bidding strategies and limited fresh tonnage entering the market. Key Market Developments This Week • Escalating Middle East conflict impacting global shipping routes and energy markets • Strait of Hormuz disruption driving sharp oil price increases • Rising vessel operating costs and insurance premiums • Bangladesh maintaining top demolition pricing position • India steel plate prices jumping nearly USD 28 per ton amid supply concerns • Pakistan maintaining competitive pricing with stable steel fundamentals • Turkey facing regulatory developments following EU yard certification changes • No reported demolition sales this week as buyers remain cautious Bangladesh continues to lead pricing levels across most vessel categories, while India shows improving steel fundamentals and Pakistan remains competitively positioned for regional tonnage. Turkey continues to trail pricing levels amid softer European scrap demand. The broader tone of the market remains cautious but stable. While geopolitical instability is creating short-term disruption across global shipping markets, longer-term implications may eventually influence vessel supply into the recycling sector. This episode provides strategic insights into demolition pricing trends, steel market movements, subcontinent recycling fundamentals, and the macroeconomic forces influencing ship recycling markets in 2026. For shipowners, brokers, cash buyers, recycling yards, and maritime investors, this weekly update provides essential intelligence on the evolving global ship recycling landscape.
Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news of zero progress in the mess in the Middle East. In fact, it has probably gotten worse. And in the week ahead, geopolitical developments will likely dictate global market directions. Reports by the IEA and OPEC this week will reveal how the institutions see the supply shock of seaborne energy from the Persian Gulf. The spotlight on US economic data will be on consumer inflation for February (Thursday) and PCE for January (Saturday). Both are expected to rise (CPI to 2.5%, PCE to 2.9%) but everyone will know this is the base on what the March data (released on April 11) will be built on. Where US inflation goes, the bond market goes, and the cost of money locally, Of course, we will be tracking that for you. In China, they will release February inflation data, with headline CPI expected to firm to 0.8% from 0.2%, while producer prices are likely to decline at a slightly slower pace of 1.1%. They will also release new yuan loans data which is expected to decline in February, partly reflecting seasonal weakness linked to the Lunar New Year holidays. In Japan, we will get updated machine tool orders results. In Australia, it will be about consumer and business confidence, consumer inflation expectations. In India, it will also be about CPI data. Locally, apart from some retail data (card use) and more analysis on mortgage activity, data releases will be relatively quiet this week. But there will be plenty of news to follow, especially flowing from the consequences of shrinking workforces in the US, which will have global implications. The US economy shed -92,000 jobs in February at the headline level, the most in four months, following a downwardly revised +126,000 rise in January and much worse than forecasts of a +59,000 gain. From a year ago, payrolls are up +129,000 and that is unusually low. Apart from December's tiny +59,000 year-on-year gain you have to go back to the pandemic (and Trump 1) to find as weak a rise. It gets worse by broadening the view of all employment, not just payroll employment. That broader view shows overall employment down -391,000 in February from a year ago, the second consecutive shrinkage. US retail sales inched lower by -0.2% in January from December, slightly less that the expected dip. It was the first decline since October. From a year ago, they are +3.1% higher. Most of this is accounted for by 2.5% CPI core inflation. US inflation may be about to get a shock. Petrol pump prices are up today +10% from a year ago, up +18% from a month ago. And these costs are only just getting started with US crude oil up +35% in a week, up the same in a year. When US March CPI is reported, the Fed won't be able to look away. They are facing fast-weakening labour markets and fast rising inflation. They have a dual mandate so they will have to choose what to prioritise. The simple fact is that inflation problems are harder to remedy using monetary policy tools than the labour market. Absent political pressure, they would want to fight inflation first. (If they choose the other goal, they will embed inflation for a very long time.) In Canada, their widely-watched Ivey PMI surged higher in February, a strong expansion signal, to its best since September 2025, and prior to that its best since July 2024. In the Persian Gulf, the Qatari oil minister said in the next few days they have to decide whether to declare force majeure, releasing them from obligations to deliver supplies to customers. He said that could drive crude prices to US$150/bbl. There are still no ships transiting the Straits of Hormuz - except Iran-linked ones. China's foreign exchange reserves rose to US$3.428 tln in February, a small +US$30 bln increase over the previous month and the seventh consecutive monthly gain. These are now back to their highest level since November 2015. USD weakness helped, but it is clear US efforts to 'contain China' aren't working at the most fundamental level. Meanwhile, they bought slightly more gold and now have 74.22 mln troy ounces. American missteps have juiced the price of gold of course, so the value of their holdings rose +US$20 bln to US$388 bln at the end of February, now 11% of their total reserves. After falling consistently since August, the FAO food price index rose in February, basically tracking similar levels for the start of 2025. But there is wide variation between categories. Meat prices are steady, Dairy prices are falling as is sugar. Dairy prices are now at their lowest since the start of 2024. But vegetable oils are rising, and fast, with cereal prices turning higher too. Meanwhile, metals prices are rising, led by aluminium's overnight jump, and it is now approaching the heady heights of the pandemic peaks. Copper and zinc have been rising recently too, even nickel and zinc. Sulphur is another essential commodity at a peak, even higher than the pandemic levels. This is a particular problem for China. But iron ore prices are not joining the party. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.13%, up +2 bps from Saturday. The price of gold will start today up +US$28 from Saturday at US$5172/oz. Silver is up +50 USc at US$84.50/oz today. American oil prices are up +US$1, at just under US$91/bbl, while the international Brent price is up a bit less to be now just on US$92.50/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is unchanged against the USD from Saturday, still just on 59 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at 84 AUc. We are up +10 bps against the yen. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 50.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today little-changed at just over 62.7. The bitcoin price starts today at US$66,882 and down -2.0% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just on +/- 2.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.
Geopolitical tensions flared over the weekend as military strikes involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran sent shockwaves through global headlines. But how did markets actually respond? We break down the reaction across energy prices, defense stocks, travel shares, and inflation expectations — and what investors should watch in the weeks ahead.Moments like these often raise the same question: what does this mean for my portfolio? Looking at historical data from past geopolitical crises, we discuss how the S&P 500 has typically behaved during periods of uncertainty, why short-term volatility can look very different from long-term outcomes, and how investors can stay grounded by focusing on discipline rather than prediction.Then we turn to the growing conversation around artificial intelligence and jobs. After Block announced significant layoffs with CEO Jack Dorsey pointing to AI as a key driver, we explore whether AI is truly replacing that much human capital — or if other business realities like a weak crypto market, past hiring trends, and stock performance may also be influencing the decision.Finally, Managing Associate Melanie Wells joins the show to discuss what earning the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® designation adds to financial planning during divorce. Using a real-world style case study, we examine how retirement accounts, pensions, stock options, real estate, and even debt are evaluated — and why in divorce planning, “fair” doesn't always mean “equal.”Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.

FULL STREAM### March 2: Outbreak of War and Regional Volatility (1)XERXES I OF PERSIAHeadline: The Fog of War Descends Following US-Israeli Strikes on Iran (2)Summary: This file covers the chaotic initial hours of the war with Iranfollowing significant US and Israeli military strikes. Host John Batchelor and guests analyze the "long war" perspective, noting that while President Trump anticipates a conflict lasting four to five weeks, significant concerns exist regarding the absence of a ground game for regime change. The conflict has caused immediate global economic shockwaves, with oil and natural gas prices spiking as Qatari and Saudi energy production faces Iranian missile and drone threats. Reports of "friendly fire" emerge from Kuwait, where three American F-15s were downed by allied air defenses. Simultaneously, an "open war" has erupted on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, as Pakistan launches air strikes against the Taliban, claiming to have killed their supreme leader. Inside Iran, thousands of young people are reportedly taking to the streets to support the regime's collapse. (3)Guest(s): Bill Roggio (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies), Husain Haqqani (Former Pakistan Ambassador to the US), Jonathan Syeh (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies). (4)

Brian Szytel recaps a rebound day in markets with broad gains (Dow +238, S&P +0.8%, Nasdaq +1.3%) amid headline-driven volatility tied to Iran and renewed tariff discussion. He notes Secretary Bessent's comments on Section 122 potentially moving tariffs from 10% to 15%, which would still mean $65–$70B less in taxes than under IEPA, helping especially smaller and mid-sized businesses. Key market watchpoints are oil and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and bond yields, which rose with higher energy and inflation expectations rather than signaling a flight to safety; the 10-year is around 4.07%. He reiterates a midterm outlook of Democrats taking the House and Republicans holding the Senate. Economic data were strong, led by ISM services at 56.1, alongside services PMI at 51.7 and ADP private payrolls at 63K. He also addresses software stocks, viewing AI-driven selloffs as selective opportunity with potential margin benefits. 00:00 Market Rebound Recap 00:42 Tariffs Back in Focus 01:45 Iran Risks and Oil 02:41 Volatility and Bond Yields 03:49 Midterm Politics Update 04:27 Economic Data Rundown 05:33 AI and Software Stocks 06:47 Wrap Up and Tomorrow Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
In this month's Junior Mining Insights discussion, Bill Powers and Brian Leni recap the past month in junior mining with a North American focus after attending Vancouver's Metals Investor Forum and PDAC in Toronto. They evaluate Canadian government initiatives and grants around critical minerals and processing capacity, with Brian expressing skepticism but acknowledging speculative implications when support validates strong projects. Bill shares lessons from high-net-worth investors and explains the three types of junior mining “ghosts” that spook your equities. The duo further discusses investor psychology, volatility management, due diligence, management vision, and caution around the growing trend of bulk sampling. 00:00 Intro 01:06 MIF & PDAC Sentiment 04:00 Canada processing push 05:34 Politics and US ties 08:57 Government signals investing 12:44 PDAC day two crowds 15:41 Bull market and rumors 17:41 Volatility and psychology 20:58 High net worth playbook 26:33 Junior mining ghosts 29:59 Spotting Hidden Power 30:55 Using Ghost Categories 32:08 Macro Marketing Moves 35:16 Conviction Over Speculation 38:31 When Bad Actors Appear 42:41 Bulk Sampling Trend 48:22 Financing Frenzy Signals 52:05 Attributing Price Moves Brian's website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian's YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill's Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

A sharp sell‑off in South Korea is raising caution flags for global markets. Noah Kann explains how volatility in the KOSPI, rising energy prices, and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are pressuring Asian currencies as the U.S. dollar strengthens. While the KOSPI often acts as an early signal for the S&P 500, Kann warns that the current extremes argue for caution rather than bottom‑fishing.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Oil shocks, gold surges and a familiar tech giant's stumble - markets are suddenly on edge. In this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack the forces shaking global markets - from Sea Ltd’s earnings surprise and share price plunge to Singapore’s growing ambitions as a physical gold hub. Gold prices are surging past historic levels as wealthy investors pile into safe havens and policymakers position Singapore as a regional bullion trading center. Meanwhile, a widening Middle East conflict and the Strait of Hormuz blockade threaten global energy flows, pushing Brent crude above $81 and disrupting LNG supplies. We also run through earnings movers including Target, Best Buy, Swiss sneaker maker On, DFI Retail Group and Wilmar International. Plus: the next computing revolution may not be in your phone - tech giants like Qualcomm, Meta, Google and Apple are racing to build AI-powered wearables that blend seamlessly into everyday life. Companies mentioned: Sea Ltd., Target, Best Buy, On Holding, DFI Retail Group, Wilmar International, ST Engineering, Keppel, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, Qualcomm, Meta, Google, Samsung, Apple, OpenAI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As of March 2026, we are seeing massive swings driven by global macro uncertainty, shifting ETF inflows, and critical technical levels being tested. In this episode, we break down the current market chaos and provide a clear roadmap for what to do next.
Rising geopolitical risk and a spike in the VIX are complicating expectations for the 2026 IPO market. Samuel Kerr says higher energy costs, inflation pressure, and single-stock volatility are making investors cautious, especially as tech multiples face strain from heavy AI-related capital spending. With recent IPOs like Klarna (KLAR), Navan (NAVN), and StubHub (STUB) struggling post-listing, Kerr notes that companies are shifting from timing seasonal windows to staying ready for brief periods of market calm.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Michael Cuggino says market volatility creates opportunity for disciplined investors willing to rebalance rather than react to headlines. He favors diversification across U.S. equities, commodities, and precious metals, highlighting Morgan Stanley (MS) alongside defense and industrial names like Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Parker‑Hannifin (PH). While AI and defense valuations remain elevated, Cuggino argues that pullbacks and a global macro approach are key as deficits grow and energy pressures re-emerge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Enterprise IT spending is projected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2026, but this growth is concentrated in software, cloud services, and AI infrastructure for large organizations, according to HG Insights and Omdia research cited by Dave Sobel. The system integration market is positioned to approach $950 billion in 2025, with enterprises working with an average of 6.3 technology partners. A substantial surge in AI-optimized server sales, as reflected in Dell Technologies' reported 342% year-over-year increase in revenue for those systems, is reshaping supply chains and vendor dynamics, leading to shortages of DRAM, SSDs, and hard drives. Underlying this development are volatile component costs. DRAM prices have doubled quarter over quarter, and both Micron Technologies and Western Digital have indicated they are sold out for 2026. HP reports that RAM now constitutes 35% of new PC materials costs, up dramatically from 18% the previous quarter. Such cost shifts are creating downstream risks for managed service providers (MSPs) with fixed-price agreements, as the economic assumptions underpinning many contracts—stable hardware prices and predictable cloud costs—no longer hold. The episode also highlights an increase in application sprawl and a widening gap between IT budgets and other operational costs. A Torii report shows large enterprises use over 2,191 applications on average, with more than 61% bypassing formal IT approvals, resulting in unmanaged security and compliance exposure. Additionally, 80% of small businesses report rising energy costs that directly compete with IT budget allocations. Industry analysis from Jefferies and Boston Consulting Group signals that AI and automation are not viewed uniformly as productivity boosters and may compress revenue models in both Indian and domestic IT services sectors. The practical implication for MSPs is the urgent need to audit and reprice contracts related to hardware procurement and refresh cycles, clearly documenting and communicating current cost realities with clients. Dave Sobel stresses reframing device lifecycle extensions as a security risk rather than a cost-saving measure and warns against selling clients on speculative AI market projections. The advice is to focus on specific, scoped use cases and to structure agreements that accurately reflect volatility in component costs and the operational burden of application sprawl, ensuring financial and legal accountability as the IT services landscape evolves. 00:00 $4.96T IT Spend Surge Bypasses SMBs as AI Infrastructure Captures Enterprise Budgets 03:58 Dell's $43B AI Server Backlog Triggers DRAM Shortage, Repricing Downstream Hardware 05:52 AI Shrinks IT Services Revenue Model; MSPs Face Contested Implementation Role This is the Business of Tech.

Rebecca Walser helps investors break down the volatile price action following the U.S. and Israel joint strike on Iran. "You can't rely on treasuries" in ways you normally can, she argues, noting energy volatility and an unclear path to resolution as key headwinds. That said, Rebecca sees tailwinds for companies like Palantir (PLTR) and other stocks tied to the defense trade. "It's a great time to pick up for winners," she says. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Bob exposes mining realities setting a $50K-55K price floor, while Gary shares real-talk from Bitcoin meetups: seasoned HODLers aren't panicking—they're buying the dip. They dismantle media myths like Bitcoin for criminals (spoiler: it's traceable AF), ETF impacts on trading behavior, and why new investors chase highs and sell lows. Amid global economic shifts, fourth turning predictions, and governance debates, they orange-pill boomers: understand cycles, dollar-cost average, and HODL through the noise. With AI needing Bitcoin as its currency and hyperinflation looming from endless printing, this is your blueprint to escape fiat's collapse.

With the U.S. amassing its largest military presence in the Middle East in decades. "TODAY," the "digital gold" narrative is being put to the ultimate test. Bitcoin has plummeted below the critical $70,000 psychological floor, recently touching $66,100. Will we go higher or plummet with global tension rising?
Mahnaz has lived with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in ways most product teams never will. In this episode, we talk about what happens when VUCA isn't theoretical, how to avoid becoming an order taker, and how courage, empathy, and initiative can reshape your role as a designer.What if the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity you're facing at work feel overwhelming only because you've never had to live through it in your everyday life?I throw the word VUCA around like it's a trendy framework. Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity. But for Mahnaz Hajesmaeili, those aren't abstract concepts; they're lived experience.Originally from Iran, before becoming a product designer, she built a life in China, knowing she could never fully belong there. When COVID hit, borders closed, savings ran out, and the life she had carefully constructed disappeared almost overnight. She returned to Iran, started over, taught herself UX, and eventually rebuilt her career in the United States.That's not “roadmap volatility.” That's real volatility.This week, I chat with Mahnaz to explore how living through that level of instability reshaped her approach to work. Why rejected designs don't shake her. Why unclear strategy doesn't rattle her and why she doesn't default to being an order taker.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by shifting priorities or frustrated by leaders who “don't know what they want,” this episode offers perspective—and practical lessons.Give it a listen. It might change how you define uncertainty.Helpful Links:• Connect with Mahnaz on LinkedIn

Matt Cole is the CEO of Strive Asset Management, and Jeff Park is a Partner & Chief Investment Officer at ProCap Financial. This conversation was recorded live at Bitcoin Investor Week in New York. In this conversation, we break down why bitcoin's volatility doesn't change the long-term story, how institutions think about drawdowns, and what today's Fed policy could mean for bitcoin and other risk assets. We also touch on digital credit, bitcoin-backed yield, and why volatility may actually be one of bitcoin's biggest advantages for long-term investors.=====================Bitget (https://bitget.com/promotion/futures-tradfi?channelCode=regd&vipCode=nkew) is the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX) (https://bitget.com/promotion/futures-tradfi?channelCode=regd&vipCode=nkew), serving over 125 million users with access to over 2M+ crypto tokens, and TradFi markets such as 100+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX and precious metal like Gold.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains why he still believes in a growth cycle for equity markets, even as investors show growing concerns around AI.Mike Wilson: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I'll be discussing recent concerns around AI disruption. It's Tuesday, February 24th at 1pm in New York. So, let's get after it. Last week you could feel it, that anxious undercurrent in the market. The headlines were noisy, volatility ticked higher, and AI disruption, once again, dominated investor conversations. But beneath the surface level unease something important happened. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index pushed to a new relative high, keeping our broadening thesis alive and well. On one hand, investors are worried about AI driven disruption, CapEx intensity, and potential labor force reductions. On the other hand, capital is still flowing into formerly lagging areas of the market, just as the median stock is seeing its strongest earnings growth in four years. Let's unpack this. First, there's concern AI will lead to job losses. But even if that's the case, there's typically a phase-in period. Companies don't just eliminate labor overnight. Importantly, before these productivity gains are fully realized, we need broad enterprise adoption. That means building out the agentic application layer, integrating AI into workflows, retraining systems and processes. That takes time, and it is still early days in that regard. Second, what we're seeing now is typical of a major investment cycle. Volatility increases as markets challenge the pace of unbridled spending. Dispersion increases as investors debate winners and losers. Leadership rotates, sometimes sharply. There's also something different this time compared to the internet bubble of the late 1990s. Today we're in an early cycle earnings backdrop. We've just emerged from what was effectively a rolling recession between 2022 and 2025. So, as capital rotates out of the perceived structural losers, it's not just chasing long-term AI beneficiaries, it's also finding classic cyclical winners. On the losing side is long duration services-oriented sectors, particularly software. These areas are more sensitive to uncertainty around longer term cash flows. This area also has a large overhang of private capital deployed over the last 10 to 15 years. There are other forces at play too. Small cap growth, arguably the longest duration segment of the market, began breaking down in late January around the time Kevin Warsh was nominated as Fed chair. While major indices barely reacted, more speculative areas may be responding to expectations of tighter liquidity given Warsh's, reputation as a balance sheet hawk. Finally, equity markets are typically more volatile when new Fed chairs assume office. Bottom line, our broader thesis of an early cycle rolling recovery remains intact. Market internals are supportive even if index level action feels choppy. That said, near term volatility is likely to persist as we enter a weaker seasonal window for retail demand, while liquidity remains ample, but far from abundant. With this backdrop, a quality cyclical barbell with healthcare makes sense. In small caps, the higher quality S&P 600 looks more attractive than the Russell 2000. And any short-term volatility could present opportunities to add exposure in preferred cyclical areas like Consumer Discretionary Goods, Industrials, and Financials. Of course, risks remain. AI adoption could accelerate faster than expected, pressuring labor markets more abruptly. Pricing power could erode as efficiency spread, and policy makers could react in ways that slow the CapEx cycle while crowded momentum positioning remains vulnerable. Nevertheless, the signal from the internals is clear. Beneath the volatility this looks less like a market rolling over, and more like one that is confirming an early cycle economic expansion.
