Alibaba Earnings Preview: Huge CapEx, Quick Commerce, and Qwen App - How Can the Three Major Cash Burners Be Filled? $Alibaba(BABA)$ is scheduled to release its financial results pre-market on March 19 ET.

Why a Strait of Hormuz Shock Could Turn U.S. Oil Stocks Into a Relative Safe Haven Why oil is spiking while stock futures are falling The market reaction is brutal but logical. Brent and WTI both surged above $111 as the war-driven disruption around the Strait of Hormuz fueled fears of a major supply shock. U.S. stock futures dropped at the same time because oil above $100 reopens the stagflation trade: higher fuel costs push inflation higher, squeeze consumer spending, pressure corporate margins, make it harder for the Fed to ease policy. In other words, expensive oil acts like a tax on the economy just when investors wanted rate relief. The Strait matters because it is far more than a symbolic chokepoint. The IEA says nearly 20 million barrels per day of oil moved through Hormuz in

Apple Trails Magnificent Seven Peers, Boosting Appeal of Selling Options $Apple(AAPL)$ is seeing the wildest price swings since January, boosting the appeal of put options as an insurance against a potential sustained downturn for the worst performing Magnificent Seven stock over the past month.

Defense AI Players Won't Be Limited to Palantir, OpenAI, and L3Harris: Here's Who Else Recent geopolitical conflicts may give the impression that developments in the defense sector have already been priced into stock prices.
