Stocks gave up an early advance today and are trading mixed after crude oil prices recovered from early losses, trading little changed, as the war in Iran shows no signs of abating. The Wall Street Journal reported today that the US is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East as Iran steps up attacks on the Strait of Hormuz.

Stocks initially moved higher today when WTI crude oil gave up overnight gains and fell more than -2% after the US granted a temporary waiver allowing buyers to take Russian oil cargoes already at sea. The US Treasury granted a month-long waiver to import Russian oil loaded before Thursday, covering Russian crude oil and fuel on about 30 tankers carrying at least 19 million barrels. Crude was also briefly pressured after the Financial Times reported that France and Italy had opened talks with Iran to negotiate a deal to guarantee the safe passage of their ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Crude prices rallied in overnight trading after US officials said Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, an effort that could further complicate US efforts to restart shipping in the waterway. Despite the US destroying most large ships in the Iranian navy used to lay mines, Iran began using smaller boats for the operation on Thursday, according to a US official briefed on the intelligence. 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 latest rhetoric from President Trump and Iranian leader Khamenei suggests there will be no immediate easing in the war that has disrupted energy shipments in the Middle East and spurred concerns about rising inflation. Global bond yields have soared this week on inflation fears, with the German 10-year bund yield rising to a 2.25-year high of 2.99% today and the 10-year T--note yield climbing to a 5-week high at 4.28%.
Crude oil prices remain underpinned despite attempts to boost global supplies. The IEA on Wednesday released 400 million barrels from emergency oil stockpiles and said the war against Iran is disrupting 7.5% of global oil supply, and the conflict will cut global oil supply by 8 million bpd this month. 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.
Today’s US economic news is mixed for stocks. Jan personal spending, Jan JOLTS job openings, and the University of Michigan US Mar consumer sentiment index all rose more than expected. However, Jan capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft and parts, a proxy for capital spending, were weaker than expected. Also, Q4 GDP was revised lower, and the Jan core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, rose by the most in 1.75 years.
US Jan personal spending rose +0.4% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.3% m/m. Jan personal income rose +0.4% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.5% m/m.
The US Jan core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, rose +3.1% y/y, right on expectations and the highest in 1.75 years.
US Jan capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft and parts were unchanged m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.5% m/m.
US Q4 GDP was revised downward to +0.7% (q/q annualized) from the previously reported +1.4% as Q4 personal consumption was revised lower to +2.0% from the previously reported +2.4%.
The University of Michigan US consumer sentiment index fell -1.1 to 55.5, stronger than the 54.8 expected.
The University of Michigan's US Mar 1-year inflation expectations were unchanged from Feb at 3.4%, below expectations of a rise to 3.7%. The Mar 5-10 year inflation expectations unexpectedly fell to 3.2% from 3.3% in Feb, weaker than expectations of an increase to 3.4%.
US Jan JOLTS job openings rose +396,000 to 6.946 million, stronger than expectations of 6.750 million.
Q4 earnings season is nearly over, with more than 98% of the S&P 500 companies having reported earnings results. Earnings have been a positive factor for stocks, with 74% of the 495 S&P 500 companies that have reported beating expectations. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, S&P earnings growth is expected to climb by +8.4% in Q4, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. Excluding the Magnificent Seven megacap technology stocks, Q4 earnings are expected to increase by +4.6%.
The markets are discounting a 1% chance for a -25 bp FOMC rate cut at the next policy meeting on March 17-18.
Overseas stock markets are mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +0.24%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.82%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -1.16%.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) today are up by +3 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is down -0.6 bp to 4.255%. June T-notes are slightly higher today, and the 10-year T-note yield fell from a 5-week high of 4.279%. Today’s US economic news, which showed Q4 GDP revised lower and Jan capital goods new orders climbing less than expected, was supportive of T-notes. Gains in T-notes were limited after Jan JOLTS job openings, and the University of Michigan Mar consumer sentiment index rose more than expected, hawkish factors for Fed policy. Also, a rebound in crude oil prices from early losses to higher on the day weighed on T-note prices.
European government bond yields are mixed today. The 10-year German bund yield fell from a 2.25-year high of 2.992% and is down -0.4 bp to 2.953%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose to a 6.25-month high of 4.812% and is up +0.9 bp to 4.782%.
UK Jan GDP was unchanged m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.2% m/m.
UK Jan manufacturing production rose +0.1% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.2% m/m.
Swaps are discounting a 3% chance of a -25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on March 19.

Stocks Erase Early Gains on Iran War Anxiety

Key Points
Marvell's earnings grew impressively in the previous fiscal year, and its outlook points to further growth.
The company's solid growth potential stems from growing demand for its custom AI processors.
It could deliver greater upside for investors both this year and over the next several years.
Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure spending is poised to grow significantly in 2026, driven by huge investments in data centers that handle AI workloads in the cloud.
Major hyperscalers in the U.S., such as Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft alone are anticipated to spend $650 billion in AI infrastructure this year. That would be a major increase over last year's outlay of $410 billion. However, these aren't the only companies spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI data centers. Pure-play AI specialists such as OpenAI and Anthropic, along with neocloud providers such as CoreWeave and Nebius, are also going to spend big to bring additional AI compute capacity online.

This is great news for Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL), a company that designs custom AI processors and networking chips. In fact, it won't be surprising to see Marvell turning an investment of $10,000 into $15,000 by the end of the year. Let's look at the reasons why.
Marvell Technology is clocking outstanding growth thanks to AI
Marvell released fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results (for the three months ended Jan. 31, 2026) on March 5. The company posted a terrific 42% increase in fiscal 2026 revenue to $8.2 billion. Non-GAAP earnings surged by 81% last year to $2.84 per share.
This growth was fueled by Marvell's data center business, which grew by 46% last year and exceeded $6 billion. The company saw outstanding demand for its data center interconnect, switching, storage, and custom chips used in data centers. Specifically, its custom processor revenue doubled last year, which isn't surprising as hyperscalers have been turning to these chips to run AI workloads in the cloud.
Bloomberg points out that Marvell designs custom AI processors for the likes of Amazon and Microsoft. The company is expected to command 20% to 25% of the custom AI processor market in the long run, which would be a significant improvement over its share of less than 5% in 2023. Marvell plans to achieve this impressive market share increase by landing more business from the top four U.S. hyperscalers. It also aims to get more business from emerging cloud infrastructure companies.
Marvell management remarked on the latest earnings call that it expects a 40% spike in data center revenue in fiscal 2027, while overall revenue is anticipated to grow by 34% to $11 billion. What's more, Marvell believes that it can achieve $15 billion in revenue in the next fiscal year, driven by more than 20 chip designs that will go into production over the next couple of years.
Clearly, Marvell is poised to make the most of the AI-focused application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market, which is anticipated to witness a 3x increase in shipments between 2024 and 2027, according to Counterpoint Research. The good news for investors is that analysts have become more bullish about Marvell's growth prospects following its latest quarterly report.
Throw in the company's attractive valuation, and it won't be surprising to see it deliver solid gains to investors in 2026 and beyond.
Why the stock seems primed for a 50% jump in 2026
Let's say you have $10,000 in investible cash right now after paying your bills, saving enough for difficult times, and clearing high-interest loans, and you want to add a growth stock to your portfolio with that money. Buying Marvell as part of a diversified portfolio could be a smart move.
Analysts are anticipating a 33% increase in its earnings this year to $3.79 per share, followed by a stronger jump of 42% in the next fiscal year. Assuming Marvell manages to grow in line with Wall Street's expectations and achieves $3.79 per share in earnings this year, and trades at the U.S. tech sector's average earnings multiple of 39, its stock could jump to $148.
That's a potential increase of 66% from current levels, suggesting that this AI stock could indeed turn $10,000 into at least $15,000 in 2026. Even better, the outstanding earnings growth that Marvell is expected to deliver over the next couple of years should pave the way for further upside.

Prediction: Massive AI Infrastructure Growth Could Send Marvell Technology Higher

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Thursday closed down -1.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -1.56%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -1.73%. March E-mini S&P futures (ESH26) fell -1.49%, and March E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQH26) fell -1.75%.
Stocks fell sharply on Thursday as a surge in crude oil prices stoked fears that the war against Iran would crimp global fuel supplies and boost inflation. WTI crude oil prices soared more than +9% on Thursday amid widening disruptions to crude production and transport in the Middle East.

Stocks extended their losses on Thursday, and crude prices added to their gains on comments from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who said that Iran’s leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used, and attacks on Gulf Arab neighbors will continue. He added that Iran will open unspecified “other fronts” in the war if the US and Israel persist with their attacks. Also, comments from President Trump gave crude prices a boost when he said that preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons is "of far greater interest and importance" to him than the cost of oil, a sign that the war in the Middle East isn't close to a de-escalation.
Credit concerns weighed on bank stocks and asset managers on Thursday after Morgan Stanley and Cliffwater LLC capped withdrawals from their private credit funds amid investor demand to redeem more than the funds allow. Private credit funds are grappling with a wave of redemption requests amid growing concerns over the quality of their loans. BlackRock last week decided to limit withdrawals, a move that other asset managers have since followed.
Crude oil prices rallied sharply on Thursday despite the IEA members' decision on Wednesday to release 400 million barrels from emergency oil stockpiles. The IEA said the war against Iran is disrupting 7.5% of global oil supply, and the conflict will cut global oil supply by 8 million bpd this month. 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. UK Defense Secretary Healey said Thursday that it is increasingly evident that Iran is laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which could keep the strait closed for the foreseeable future.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country would need “firm international guarantees against future aggression” to accept a ceasefire as well as reparations. However, comments from President Trump late Wednesday suggest the conflict could continue for weeks when he said that it would be unwise for the US to wind down hostilities too soon.
US economic news on Thursday was mixed for stocks after weekly jobless claims rose less than expected, a sign of labor market strength. Also, Jan housing starts unexpectedly rose to an 11-month high, but Jan building permits fell to a 5-month low.
US weekly initial unemployment claims fell -1,000 to 213,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of an increase to 215,000.
US Jan housing starts unexpectedly rose +7.2% m/m to an 11-month high of 1.487 million, stronger than expectations of a decline to 1.341 million. Jan building permits, a proxy for future construction, fell -5.4% m/m to a 5-month low of 1.376 million, weaker than expectations of 1.410 million.
The US Jan trade deficit shrank to -$54.5 billion, narrower than expectations of -$66.0 billion.
Q4 earnings season is nearly over, with more than 98% of the S&P 500 companies having reported earnings results. Earnings have been a positive factor for stocks, with 74% of the 495 S&P 500 companies that have reported beating expectations. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, S&P earnings growth is expected to climb by +8.4% in Q4, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. Excluding the Magnificent Seven megacap technology stocks, Q4 earnings are expected to increase by +4.6%.
The markets are discounting a 0% chance for a -25 bp FOMC rate cut at the next policy meeting on March 17-18.
Overseas stock markets settled lower on Thursday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down -0.79%. China's Shanghai Composite fell from a 1-week high and closed down -0.10%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -1.04%.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) on Thursday closed down by -18.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +3.9 bp to 4.269%. June T-notes fell to a 5-week low on Thursday, and the 10-year T-note yield climbed to a 5-week high of 4.275%. Thursday’s +9% rally in oil prices raised inflation expectations and undercut T-note prices. Also, concerns that the cost of the ongoing war against Iran will boost the US budget deficit are bearish for T-notes. On the positive side for T-notes on Thursday was strong demand for the Treasury’s $22 billion auction of 30-year T-bonds that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.45, above the 10-auction average of 2.39.
European government bond yields moved higher on Thursday. The 10-year German bund yield rose to a 2.25-year high of 2.962% and finished up +2.5 bp to 2.957%. The 10-year UK gilt yield climbed to a 6.25-month high of 4.800% and finished up +8.7 bp to 4.773%.
The European Union's economy chief, Valdis Dombrovskis, said the inflation rate could surpass 3% this year, and GDP in the Eurozone could be as much as -0.4 points lower if the war in the Middle East causes crude oil prices to remain around $100 per barrel and gas prices stay elevated for an extended period.
Swaps are discounting a 3% chance of a -25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on March 19.

Key Points

The quarter-end Lumen position value decreased by $15.20 million, reflecting share sales and stock price movement.

The Lumen stake is now 1.37% of AUM, which places it outside the fund’s top five holdings.
What happened
According to an SEC filing dated February 17, 2026, Westerly Capital Management reduced its Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN) holding by 2,700,000 shares during the quarter. The estimated transaction value, calculated using the average closing price for the quarter, was $22.22 million. At quarter-end, the position’s value had fallen by $15.20 million, due to both the share sale and changes in Lumen’s stock price.

Company/ETF snapshot
Lumen Technologies provides integrated communications and technology solutions, including fiber infrastructure, cloud services, managed security, and broadband internet under the Lumen, Quantum Fiber, and CenturyLink brands.
It operates a facilities-based business model, generating revenue primarily from network services, data connectivity, and IT solutions for enterprise, government, and residential customers.
The company targets large businesses, government agencies, and residential broadband subscribers in the United States and internationally.
Lumen Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of telecommunications and technology services, serving millions of broadband subscribers and enterprise clients. The company leverages its extensive fiber network and portfolio of advanced IT solutions to address the evolving connectivity and security needs of its customers.
Lumen's scale, diversified service offerings, and established infrastructure position it as a key player in the communications services sector.
What this transaction means for investors
Westerly Capital Management’s sale of Lumen Technologies stock in the fourth quarter of 2025 is noteworthy because the fund sold a significant portion of its holdings. Lumen was Westerly’s third largest position in the third quarter, representing 6.7% of AUM.
After the sale of 2.7 million shares, Lumen dropped to 1.4% of AUM. This suggests Westerly may have become dubious of the telecommunications company’s change in direction.
Lumen decided to shift away from consumer internet services, selling this part of its business in February. It now focuses on providing fiber optic solutions to businesses in support of the high bandwidth needs of artificial intelligence.
However, this new direction requires the company to upgrade its existing fiber optic network, which contributed to an increase in capital expenditures in 2025 to $4.4 billion, up from 2024's $3.2 billion. It also exited 2025 with over $17 billion in debt on its balance sheet.
Meanwhile, its 2025 revenue of $12.4 billion was down from $13.1 billion in 2024. This combination of rising expenses and falling sales does not bode well for Lumen’s future. Consequently, now is not a good time to buy shares, nor is it an ideal moment to sell with the stock down 12% year to date through March 10. Instead, watch the company’s performance over the next few quarters before making an investment decision.

Credo Technology Group CRDO has introduced ZeroFlap optics, a new generation of optical transceivers designed to improve stability in large-scale AI networks. Recently, Credo reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $407 million, representing 201.5% year-over-year growth, fueled by strong adoption of its high-speed connectivity solutions, particularly in AI and hyperscale data center deployments.
ZeroFlap optics represents Credo’s next step into optical connectivity technologies. ZeroFlap AECs deliver as much as 1,000x the reliability of commodity laser-based optics while requiring roughly half the power. Management noted that ZeroFlap Optics is ahead of schedule, with production shipments to Tensor Way and ongoing qualification with three more hyperscaler and Neocloud customers.
Data centers currently face long cluster startup times and reliability problems caused by unstable links in standard laser-based transceivers. ZeroFlap optics are built to solve these issues by combining hardware, optics, firmware and pilot software with switch-level SDKs. This setup allows for ongoing link telemetry and automatic detection and correction of potential link failures before they affect clusters, greatly enhancing network reliability. From a total addressable market perspective, these can provide optical connectivity across all distances within data centers. Strong customer interest is expected to lead to a major production increase starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and continuing throughout the year.
In the long run, as AI infrastructure scales toward 800G and 1.6T networks, ZeroFlap could become a meaningful growth engine, potentially positioning Credo as a key supplier of reliable optical connectivity for the next generation of AI data centers. With management projecting more than 50% revenue growth for fiscal 2027, its adoption could become a major catalyst behind this strong outlook. However, CRDO operates in a highly competitive market that includes major semiconductor players, such as Marvell Technology MRVL and Broadcom Inc. AVGO.
CRDO’s Competitive Connectivity Landscape
Broadcom is experiencing strong momentum fueled by growth in AI semiconductors and continued success with its VMware integration. Strong demand for its networking products and custom AI accelerators (XPUs) bodes well. AVGO’s AI networking solutions are gaining traction. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, AI networking revenues jumped 60% year over year and represented one-third of total AI revenues. For the fiscal second quarter, AI networking is expected to accelerate further and grow to 40% of total AI revenues. AVGO expects OpenAI to deploy the first-generation XPU in 2027 at more than one gigawatt of compute capacity.
Marvell is experiencing solid growth across its core franchises and AI infrastructure segments, including scale-out and scale-across deployments, while investing to unlock new revenue streams in the emerging AI scale-up market. It is capitalizing on the rising demand for high-speed connectivity, such as 800G and 1.6T optical interconnects. These solutions are gaining traction as AI workloads require faster communication between GPUs and data centers. Based on the current growth trend, MRVL predicts that its interconnect business will grow more than 50% in fiscal 2027. Management pointed to broader customer traction, accelerating bookings and improved visibility into future growth.
