Summary (approx. 575 words)

Last Friday marked a week of positive gains for major US stock indices, with the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average rising by 4.4%, 3.4%, and 3% respectively. This rebound was largely driven by a lessening of anxieties regarding inflation and interest rate hikes, fueled by consistent messaging from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and expectations that the Fed would avoid aggressive tightening measures. Cooling bond yields and relatively stable economic data – particularly resilient job numbers and consumer spending – bolstered investor confidence and encouraged a return to equities following recent market weakness.

The ongoing conflict in Iran presented a complex dynamic. While the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz caused significant spikes in oil prices, markets partially recovered as analysts assessed that the economic fallout, while serious, might remain contained in the near term. Tech stocks were particularly strong, with investors showing renewed optimism regarding corporate outlooks – a “dip-buying” effect contributing significantly to the positive sentiment.

Zacks Investment Research highlighted its role in guiding investors through recent market fluctuations. The firm emphasized the utility of its time-tested methodologies, particularly relevant given the current state of market uncertainty. Several key performance metrics were showcased:

• Rank #1 Stock Performance: Stocks receiving a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) upgrade—Century Aluminum and Teradyne—demonstrated substantial gains, reflecting positive investor sentiment. Century Aluminum rose 23.9% while Teradyne climbed 9.4% since their upgrades on February 4th. An equal-weight portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks significantly outperformed the S&P 500, achieving returns exceeding 7.7 percentage points year-to-date (through March 3rd, 2026). Over a 10-year period, this portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 7 percentage points.

• Focus List Success: The Zacks Focus List (a portfolio of 50 stocks) also delivered strong results, outperforming the S&P 500 and its equal-weight counterpart.

• ECAP Portfolio Performance: The Earnings Certain Admiral Portfolio (ECAP), a concentrated buy-and-hold portfolio, provided benchmark comparisons. While the fourth quarter of 2025 saw a slight negative return (-2.3%) compared to the S&P 500 (+2.7%), the portfolio’s longer-term track record – demonstrating resilience during economic downturns – was highlighted. The ECAP portfolio, consisting of 30 ultra-defensive long-term stocks, focused on companies with proven recession-resistant earnings.

• Other Notable Stocks: PepsiCo and Walmart (components of the ECAP portfolio) also delivered significant returns.

Finally, Zacks highlighted the availability of its research tools – including the Focus List, Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research Reports, and the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter – as part of the Zacks Premium subscription, providing investors with comprehensive research and analysis.

Zusammenfassung

Letzte Freitag erlebten die wichtigsten US-Aktienindizes eine Woche der Gewinne, wobei der Nasdaq, der S&P 500 und der Dow Jones Industrial Average um 4,4 %, 3,4 % bzw. 3 % stiegen. Dieser Anstieg wurde hauptsächlich durch die Abnahme der Sorgen hinsichtlich Inflation und Zinssätze angetrieben, die durch die konsequente Kommunikation des Federal Reserve Vorstands, Jerome Powell, und Erwartungen an eine Vermeidung aggressiver Straffungsmaßnahmen beflügelt wurden. Sinkende Anleihenrenditen und relativ stabile Wirtschaftsdaten – insbesondere widerstandsfähige Arbeitszahlen und Konsumausgaben – stärkten das Vertrauen der Anleger und förderten einen Rückgang in die Aktienmärkte nach jüngster Schwäche.

Der andauernde Konflikt im Iran stellte eine komplexe Dynamik dar. Die Störung der Straße von Hormuz verursachte erhebliche Preissprünge für Öl, aber die Märkte erholten sich teilweise, als Analysten beurteilten, dass die wirtschaftlichen Folgen, obwohl gravierend, möglicherweise auf kurze Sicht begrenzt bleiben würden. Tech-Aktien waren besonders stark, wobei Investoren von optimistischen Unternehmensausblicken – einem Effekt des „Dip-Buyings“ – erhebliche positive Stimmung erzeugten.

Zacks Investment Research betonte seine Rolle bei der Führung von Investoren durch die jüngsten Marktschwankungen. Das Unternehmen betonte die Bedeutung seiner zeitlosen Methodologien, insbesondere angesichts der aktuellen Situation der Marktzunft. Mehrere wichtige Leistungsindikatoren wurden hervorgehoben:

• Performance von Aktien mit Zacks Rank #1: Aktien, die mit einem Zacks Rank #1 (Kaufen) aufgestuft wurden – Century Aluminum und Teradyne – zeigten deutliche Gewinne, was auf positive Investorenstimmung hindeutete. Century Aluminum stieg um 23,9 %, während Teradyne um 9,4 % stieg, seit ihren Aufstufungen am 4. Februar. Ein Portfolio mit gleichen Gewichten der Zacks Rank #1 Aktien übertraf die S&P 500 deutlich, mit Renditen, die mehr als 7,7 Prozentpunkte im Jahresvergleich (bis zum 3. März 2026) übertrafen. Über einen Zeitraum von 10 Jahren übertraf dieses Portfolio die S&P 500 um mehr als 7 Prozentpunkte.

• Erfolge der Focus List: Die Zacks Focus List (ein Portfolio von 50 Aktien) erzielte ebenfalls starke Ergebnisse und übertraf die S&P 500 und ihr äquivalentes Portfolio.

• ECAP-Portfolio-Leistung: Das Earnings Certain Admiral Portfolio (ECAP), ein konzentriertes Buy-and-Hold-Portfolio, bot Benchmarking-Vergleiche. Obwohl im vierten Quartal 2025 ein leichter negativer Rückgang (-2,3 %) im Vergleich zum S&P 500 (+2,7 %) vorlag, zeigten die langfristigen Ergebnisse des ECAP-Portfolios – die Widerstandsfähigkeit während wirtschaftlicher Abschwünge demonstrierten – ihren Wert. Das ECAP-Portfolio, bestehend aus 30 ultra-defensiven Langzeitaktien, konzentrierte sich auf Unternehmen mit einem nachgewiesenen Erfolg in Rezessionsphasen.

• Weitere bemerkenswerte Aktien: PepsiCo und Walmart (Komponenten des ECAP-Portfolios) erzielten ebenfalls erhebliche Renditen.

Zuletzt stellte Zacks die Verfügbarkeit seiner Forschungswerkzeuge – darunter die Focus List, die Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research Berichte und der Zacks Earnings ESP Filter – als Teil des Zacks Premium Abonnements zur Verfügung, um Investoren umfassende Forschung und Analyse zu bieten.

Zusammenfassung (ca. 500 Wörter)

Der andauernde Konflikt im Nahen Osten löst eine der schwerwiegendsten jüngsten Energiekrise aus, so die Internationale Energieagentur, den Internationalen Währungsfonds und die Weltbank. Neben den verheerenden humanitären Folgen stört der Konflikt den weltweiten Handel, erzeugt Volatilität an den Öl- und Rohstoffmärkten und verschärft die Inflationsrisiken.

Als Reaktion darauf haben diese Institutionen eine koordinierte Gruppe gebildet, um insbesondere die „asymmetrischen“ Auswirkungen der Krise zu überwachen. Dies bedeutet, den unverhältnismäßigen Einfluss auf Entwicklungsländer und brüchige Lieferketten zu konzentrieren. Die Situation ist stark polarisiert: Während die Energiemärkte und der Aluminiummarkt unmittelbare Angebotsengpässe erleben, sieht sich der Bedarf an Industriemetallen wie Kupfer einem nachfragegetriebenen Überschuss gegenüber.

Der Aluminiummarkt ist besonders betroffen. Der Hormusstrang, eine wichtige Schifffahrtsroute für Alumina (das Hauptbestandteil für die Aluminiumproduktion), ist aufgrund von Raketen- und Drohnenangriffen auf großen Produktionsbetrieben wie Emirates Global Aluminium und Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) zu einem kritischen Engpass geworden. Etwa 3 Millionen Tonnen Jahresproduktion – fast die Hälfte der Produktion des Nahen Ostens – wurden vorübergehend unterbrochen. Darüber hinaus führt die Störung des Alumina-Flusses, der 60 % des regionalen Angebots ausmacht, zu Engpässen, auch für intakte Anlagen. Dies hat zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der Aluminiumpreise an der Londoner Metallhandelsbörse geführt, die bei fast vier Jahren Höchststand von rund 3.500 Dollar pro Tonne liegen.

Im Gegensatz dazu zeigt der Kupfermarkt eine andere Dynamik. Trotz der Aluminiumkrise warnen Bloomberg Intelligence Analysten, dass steigende Ölpreise über 150 Dollar pro Barrel das globale Wirtschaftswachstum erheblich verlangsamen und die Nachfrage nach Kupfer, die stark im Bausektor und in der Infrastruktur eingesetzt wird, reduzieren könnte. Folglich könnte sich der Kupfermarkt von einem Defizit in ein Überschuss von 100.000 bis 200.000 Tonnen verschieben, wobei die Preise potenziell unter 10.000 Dollar pro Tonne liegen könnten.

Mehrere Bergbauunternehmen erleben bereits die Auswirkungen – die Aktien von Alcoa und Century Aluminium sind gestiegen, während First Quantum Minerals und Antofagasta plc erhebliche Einbußen bei den Gewinnen zu verzeichnen haben. Steigende Energiekosten und Unterbrechungen der Lieferketten verkomplizieren die Situation zusätzlich und könnten die Stückkosten für Bergbauunternehmen um 10–20 % erhöhen. Engpässe bei Schwefelsäure, die für die Kupferverarbeitung entscheidend ist, insbesondere in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (in der 60 % der Produktion von Schwefelimporten aus dem Golf abhängen), stellen ein ernstes Problem dar.

Der Konflikt hat eine komplexe Situation geschaffen, in der Angebotsengpässe die Produktion einschränken könnten, aber eine schwächere Nachfrage immer noch einen Überschuss verursachen könnte. Die Divergenz zwischen den Aluminium- und Kupfermärkten unterstreicht die Vernetzung und Volatilität der globalen Rohstoffmärkte angesichts geopolitischer Instabilität.

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Monday closed down -0.39%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.11%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.78%.  June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) fell -0.43%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) fell -0.88%.

Stock indexes gave up an early advance on Monday and settled mixed, with the S&P 500 posting a 7.5-month low and the Nasdaq 100 posting a 7.75-month low.  Concerns that a protracted war in the Middle East will derail economic growth weighed on stocks on Monday, along with a sell-off in chip stocks.  Strength in software stocks kept the Dow Jones Industrial Average in positive territory.

Stock indexes initially moved higher on Monday as a decline in bond yields sparked some short covering.  The 10-year T-note yield fell by -8 bp on Monday to 4.34%, amid fears that the war in the Middle East will lead to a fuel shortage that derails global economic growth, offsetting inflation fears and possibly keeping the Fed from raising interest rates.  T-note yields also moved lower on Monday after Fed Chair Powell said inflation expectations are well anchored and that the FOMC will meet its 2% inflation goal. He added, "It's too soon to know what the economic effects will be" from the Iran war.

The US Mar Dallas Fed manufacturing activity survey fell by -0.4 to -0.2, weaker than expectations of an increase to 2.0.

US and Israeli forces pressed ahead with attacks on Iran on Monday, while the UAE issued multiple alerts and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reported numerous strikes by Iranian drones and missiles as the war in Iran entered its fifth week.  The Washington Post on Monday said the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, as about 3,500 sailors and Marines have arrived in the Middle East.  President Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday that he wants to "take the oil in Iran" and could seize the export hub of Kharg Island, which would involve US ground troops and mark a major escalation of the conflict.

Crude oil prices (CLK26) rose more than +3% on Monday to a 3-week high.  The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas flows, has choked off oil and gas flows due to Iran’s attacks on shipping in the waterway and forced Gulf producers to cut output because they can’t export from the region.  Iran is also seeking to control ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz, asking vessels to provide lists of crew and cargo, along with voyage details and bills of lading if they want to travel through the waterway.  Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March.

The International Energy Agency said last Monday that more than 40 energy sites across nine countries in the Middle East have been "severely or very severely" damaged, potentially prolonging disruptions to global supply chains once the war in Iran ends.

The markets are discounting a 3% chance for a +25 bp FOMC rate hike at the April 28-29 policy meeting.

Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Monday.  The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +0.65%.  China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.24%.  Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 fell to a 3-month low and closed down -2.79%.

Interest Rates

June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) on Monday closed up by +21 ticks.  The 10-year T-note yield fell -8.4 bp to 4.344%.  June T-notes rallied on Monday amid speculation that the ongoing war in the Middle East will lead to a fuel shortage that derails global economic growth, offsetting inflation fears and possibly keeping the Fed from raising interest rates.  Also, sliding inflation expectations are supportive of T-notes after the 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 3-week low of 2.295% on Monday.  T-notes added to their gains on Monday when Fed Chair Powell said inflation expectations are well anchored and the FOMC will reach its 2% inflation goals.

European government bond yields moved lower on Monday.  The 10-year German bund yield fell -5.9 bp to 3.035%.  The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -4.0 bp to 4.935%.

The Eurozone Mar economic sentiment index fell -1.6 to a 6-month low of 96.6, weaker than expectations of 96.7.

German Mar CPI (EU harmonized) rose +1.2% m/m and +2.8% y/y, right on expectations, with the +2.8% y/y gain the largest year-on-year increase in two years.

Swaps are discounting a 52% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on April 30.

US Stock Movers

The weakness in chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks weighed on the broader market.  Micron Technology (MU) closed down more than -9% to lead losers in the Nasdaq 100, and Western Digital (WDC) closed down more than -8%.  Also, Marvell Technology (MRVL) and Sandisk (SNDK) closed down more than -7%, and Lam Research (LRCX) closed down more than -5%.  In addition, Seagate Technology Holdings Plc (STX), KLA Corp (KLAC), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Intel (INTC) closed down more than -4%, and ASML Holding NV (ASML), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Microchip Technology (MCHP) closed down more than -3%.

Optical stocks retreated on Monday.  Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) closed down more than -13%, and Coherent (COHR) closed down more than -9%.  Also, Credo Technology Group Holdings Ltd (CRDO) closed down more than -7%, Lumentum Holdings (LITE) closed down more than -6%, and Corning (GLW) closed down more than -5%.

Software stocks rebounded on Monday following last Friday’s plunge.  ServiceNow (NOW) closed up more than +5% to lead gainers in the S&P 500, and Salesforce (CRM) closed up more than +3% to lead gainers in the Dow Jones Industrials.   Also, Workday (WDAY) and Intuit (INTU) closed up more than +3%, and Atlassian (TEAM), Adobe (ADBE), and Autodesk (ADSK) closed up more than +2%.

US and Israeli forces pressed ahead with attacks on Iran today, while the UAE issued multiple alerts and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reported numerous strikes by Iranian drones and missiles as the war in Iran enters its fifth week.  The Washington Post said the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, as about 3,500 sailors and Marines have arrived in the Middle East. President Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday that he wants to "take the oil in Iran" and could seize the export hub of Kharg Island, which would involve US ground troops and mark a major escalation of the conflict.

Crude oil prices (CLK26) are up more than +2% today at a 3-week high.  The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas flows, has choked off oil and gas flows due to Iran’s attacks on shipping in the waterway and forced Gulf producers to cut output because they can’t export from the region.  Iran is also seeking to control ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz, asking vessels to provide lists of crew and cargo, along with voyage details and bills of lading if they want to travel through the waterway.  Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March.

The International Energy Agency said last Monday that more than 40 energy sites across nine countries in the Middle East have been "severely or very severely" damaged, potentially prolonging disruptions to global supply chains once the war in Iran ends.

Video Transcript

00:00 Speaker A

is watching aluminum stocks, Cisco and Alaska Air. Yahoo Finance Jake Conley on set with me.

00:03 Speaker A

First up, let's chat aluminum stocks. They're soaring after aluminum facilities in the Middle East were attacked over the weekend. Aluminum prices are also nearing four-year highs. It seems like to me that we're sort of seeing a reaction within aluminum stocks that we saw a few weeks ago within crude. What do you make of this?

00:22 Speaker B

Yeah, it's exactly right. You're seeing infrastructure damage, right? We've now seen attacks by Iran on aluminum uh producers in the Middle East. That's going to ripple through the entire supply chain. Roughly 10% of the world's aluminum comes from the Middle East. Also, aluminum is the second most widely used metal in the world after only steel. So it shows you just how wide that impact's going to be.

00:46 Speaker A

And when you think about sort of the ripple effects that this could have, what are some maybe products? You know any products that could be hit for this?

00:52 Speaker B

Yeah, so you think, you think cans, you think um any

00:56 Speaker A

Yeah, uh Coca-Cola earnings. Definitely eager to hear what they're going to say.

00:59 Speaker B

Exactly Coca-Cola. Right. any other of those kind of consumer side products. Um even this is airline parts, stuff like that. Um aluminum's kind of all over the market. So this is really going to ripple out pretty widely.

01:12 Speaker A

Right. And this comes on top of those tariff discussions that we were just talking about that seem like they're still lingering in the air on steel, on aluminum. and those are still a a headwind to these companies as well. Now add this on top of it. Definitely not good news there then.

01:25 Speaker B

Yeah, exactly right. Now you you look at the stocks today, you see Alcoa up 11%. It's an upstream producer, kind of a pure play aluminum company. They mine it out of the ground, refine it, smelt it.

01:38 Speaker A

So this is good news for them. Higher prices right?

01:39 Speaker B

Yes, this is great for them. The stock is up 11%. Uh Rio Tinto also to watch up 4% today. They're not a pure play aluminum, they do several other other metals, but aluminum is a big part of their book. So they'll be one to watch here too.

01:52 Speaker A

All right, lots of ripple effects. I will be asking Coca-Cola about this when I do speak to them in the upcoming earnings. But next up, let's take a look at food giant, Cisco, sticking with the theme here, will buy Jetro Restaurant Depot in a $29 billion deal. Now the deal will expand Cisco's portfolio across affordable independent restaurants. Reading a bit more about this, the deal's not expected to close until the third quarter of 2027. Also about $250 million in annual cost energies targeted within three years, but investors aren't too happy with this one, it seems like.

02:22 Speaker B

No, I know, the stock down 13% after a brief bounce, right? Now, what this is going to do for Cisco, this is going to expand the market for what is already the US's largest food distributor. So this is going to get them into more stores, into bigger markets. Jetro primarily sells to kind of the wholesale big business side. So this is going to expand that market, but clearly as you point out, investors not loving this deal.

02:49 Speaker A

Yeah, this is the worst stock slide that we've seen for intraday trading since April of 2020. But at the same time, the street still a bit mixed on this. There's 10 buys and eight holds. And so it'll be interesting to see this sort of reaction from the street about how this goes into not only 2026, but then this is not even going to close until 2027.

03:09 Speaker B

Yeah, that's right. And we also are seeing this after last week, you saw the news that Pernod Ricard is looking to merge with Brown Forman in the beverage space. That tie up if it goes through would create one of the largest spirits distributors. So you're starting to see these tie-ups throughout the consumer world, whether it's food or um the Estee Lauder news or Pernod Ricard and Brown Forman in the spirits world, you're seeing more and more of these tie-ups.

03:37 Speaker A

Yeah, and you're trying to see how exactly they're navigating this environment where consumers maybe have been a bit weary there. And sticking with that, finally, I just want to get to Alaska Air shares. They are plunging today. The airline is forecasting higher fuel costs which will worsen its losses for the quarter. It's interesting to hear once again another airlines player warning of higher prices and the impact that'll have on the quarter.

04:02 Speaker B

Right. This is Delta, this is United, this is American all bringing it up. And now Alaska Air trading down 7% this morning after they put out a report saying that their fuel costs are getting hit. They're saying on the refining margins on their lowest cost uh fuel supply from Singapore, those are up 400% since early February. That's a 3X increase on the cost of their fuel. That's going to get passed through to the consumer.

04:30 Speaker A

Yeah, and I also wonder too, it's like, at what point, because we're already seeing airline tickets tick higher. How long does this war sort of have to persist in order for us to see sustained airline tickets? Did already all Americans sort of like go ahead and just purchase their tickets ahead of what could be a potential rise in costs there? Or are we at this point right now, there's still so much unknowns and just fear that people won't travel at all?

05:00 Speaker B

Well, I've been hearing from people in my, you know, social circle who are saying they're booking airline tickets for next year.

05:06 Speaker A

Yeah, I'm guilty. I already booked a trip to Nashville in September. I mean I had to get ahead. It really wasn't that bad. It was at American Airlines and it was 218 bucks. I feel like if you can sort of get in now, find a good deal, maybe now's the time.

05:07 Speaker B

Right. They're booking airline, yeah, exactly, exactly.

05:22 Speaker B

But here's the question, do we eventually hit demand destruction where people are going to stop traveling. You see gasoline prices going up, diesel prices going up, airline fuel costs going up. All is we're about to hit spring travel season when people's kids are out of school, they're going to want to try to plan vacations, maybe even look at winter, look at next year. And now if that $200 flight is now $600 or $300 or $400,

05:51 Speaker A

people just travel less.

05:51 Speaker B

are you going to want to do that or are you going to say maybe this is the year we hold back and do something local instead.

05:57 Speaker A

Right, but then with gas prices higher, it's like, all right, I don't know how to weigh this. I do quickly want to point out that Delta, United, uh Southwest all falling on this news as well.
