EMLC holds a broad mix of about 507 bonds issued by emerging market governments, all denominated in local currencies such as the Brazilian real, South African rand, Turkish lira, and Mexican peso. Almost the entire portfolio is sovereign debt at roughly 99 percent, so the fund is essentially a pure government credit exposure.

Firm Treasury yields could continue to weigh on the metal amid ongoing inflation concerns. Lingering tensions in the Strait of Hormuz could continue to push oil prices up, reinforcing inflation concerns and weighing on bullion.

Roughly 20 million barrels per day of oil moved through Hormuz in 2024, equivalent to about one-fifth of global petroleum liquids consumption. When that waterway closed, oil prices spiked to $126 per barrel in what the U.S. Energy Information Administration has described as the largest supply disruption in global oil market history.

If the war drags on, fuel rationing could be a possibility, but first we would issue a recommendation to conserve fuel and prioritise public transport.

"A stellarator is a thing that is objectively very difficult to design, objectively very difficult to build, but if it works, it can control the burning hot plasma better than a tokamak."

First Solar closed FY2025 with $9.54 billion in shareholder equity, $2.80 billion in cash, and total liabilities that fell 8.77% year over year, showcasing a stable and strengthening balance sheet.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says it is the 'largest supply disruption in history'. With the disruption expected to have a lasting impact on prices, governments around the world have introduced measures to limit the impact on consumers and the economy.

Data centers accounted for around 50% of all electricity demand growth in the U.S. last year, according to the IEA, far surpassing the rise in electricity usage in the residential, industrial, and transport sectors.

Netflix has authorized a $25 billion share buyback, the largest in its history, signaling a strong capital allocation strategy despite recent stock declines.

MLPA holds stakes in large-cap midstream Master Limited Partnerships that operate pipelines, storage facilities, and processing plants for crude oil and natural gas. These businesses collect volume-based tariffs and fees under multi-year contracts rather than selling commodities at spot prices.

Northcoast initiated coverage of Hertz stock with a Sell rating and a $5 price target, placing it well below where shares have traded since the rally accelerated in early April.

Wedbush's core argument centers on vertical integration as the most underappreciated dimension of the MP Materials story.

Viper owns mineral and royalty interests, primarily in the Permian Basin. Royalty owners collect a percentage of production revenue from every barrel of oil, cubic foot of natural gas, and barrel of natural gas liquids produced on their acreage without bearing drilling costs or capital expenditures.

The symbiotic relationship between Diamondback and Viper is highlighted during times like these where Diamondback continues to focus its development on wells where Viper owns high royalty interests. That structural advantage doesn't erode with oil prices.
