Due to the tense situation between the US and Iran, international oil prices have surged significantly, and the IEA is considering recommending the release of the largest-ever strategic crude oil reserves. JPMorgan Chase pointed out that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is a key factor affecting oil prices, and short-term policy tools have limited effectiveness. Various policy measures such as export restrictions and exemption acts need to be combined, but until Gulf security is restored, oil prices will still face high volatility.

Economist David Rosenberg warns that the supporting factors of the U.S. economy are simultaneously weakening, and a severe recession could occur by 2027. The diminishing effects of fiscal stimulus and the peak of AI investments will weaken economic resilience, and a stock market correction could further dampen consumption, becoming a catalyst for recession.

On March 10th, Oracle held its Q3 FY2026 earnings call. Previously, due to market concerns that its future capital expenditure plans of up to $50 billion could trigger a debt crisis, coupled with the spread of the narrative that "AI will end SaaS," Oracle's stock price had sharply retreated from its highs. However, with the latest quarter's better-than-expected performance (revenue and non-GAAP EPS both up over 20%), its after-hours stock surged more than 8%.
During the call, in response to Wall Street's three core concerns—debt pressure, the survival of SaaS, and AI business transformation—Oracle's management provided direct and strong responses.
Leveraging strength: Decoupling capital expenditure from cash flow

Faced with the AI wave, cloud computing giants often find themselves in a dilemma: not investing means falling behind, while over-investing can strain cash flow and increase debt. Oracle's solution is

Meta recently acquired Moltbook, a social networking platform that unexpectedly gained popularity due to "AI fake posts," and integrated it into the Super Intelligence Laboratory to enhance the interconnectivity of AI Agents. Moltbook offers a "permanent directory" mode that allows different Agents to communicate. Although its popularity was not due to a technical breakthrough, the resulting security concerns have attracted attention.

The so-called U.S. military escort of a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, as claimed in a misleading American message, triggered a rollercoaster in oil prices, which in turn caused U.S. stocks to surge then retreat during the trading session. U.S. Treasury and dollar both declined, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Currency Index hit its best single-day performance since December 2023.
On Tuesday, U.S. stocks, increasingly sensitive to oil prices, rose then fell back. The S&P 500 index closed down 0.2%, the Nasdaq was essentially flat, and the Dow Jones slightly declined by less than 0.1%.
According to CCTV News, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wight posted on social media that the U.S. Navy successfully escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the continuous flow of oil to global markets. Crude oil prices subsequently fell below the intraday trading range, with WTI crude dropping nearly 20% at one point.
However, the post was deleted shortly afterward. CCTV reported that the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy responded to the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s statement, saying:
> The so-called U.S. military escort of a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz...

International Energy Agency proposes releasing over 182 million barrels of oil, and relevant countries are expected to make a decision on this proposal by Wednesday.

Former Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund, Gita Gopinath, warns that the global economy is fragile, fiscal space is nearly exhausted, and fluctuations in oil prices will impact economic growth and inflation.

She remains cautious about global economic resilience, pointing out that severe challenges may lie ahead.

With the rapid development of the domestic capital market, an increasing number of high-net-worth clients and professional investors are beginning to engage with products like quantitative private equity.
However, the unique complexity, professionalism, and innovative features of quantitative private equity products have also created an industry chain that is both growing rapidly and facing significant challenges.
From producers (private fund managers) to processors (FOF and MOM product creation institutions), then to distributors (sales and direct sales agencies), and consumers (investors), the entire industry chain of quantitative private equity not only covers all stages from production to consumption but also develops and expands independently, evolving into a unique system.
At the same time, because the development speed of these products far exceeds the cognitive iteration of ordinary investors, the entire high-end wealth management market is playing out a game of "transparency."
Investors in this space often fall into a kind of "visual illusion": they only see the soaring upward trend of the net value curve but overlook the complex cost structure behind this curve.
