Stocks Set to Open Lower as AI Jitters Linger, Fed Minutes and U.S. Economic Data Awaited ========================================================================================= Oleksandr Pylypenko Tue, February 17, 2026 at 8:30 PM GMT+9 10 min read In this article: * StockStory Top Pick WT -1.56% March S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESH26) are down -0.40%, andMarch Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQH26) are down -0.85% this morning, pointing to a lower open on Wall Street after the long weekend as concerns around AI continue to weigh on sentiment. Investors remain concerned about companies’ swelling AI budgets as well as the technology’s potential to disrupt industries beyond the tech sector. There is “lingering anxiety about whether AI spending will be profitable enough, concerns about competition, and a broader de-risking from the most crowded trades after a very strong run,” according to Aneeka Gupta at WisdomTree. ### More News from Barchart * Calm Waters for Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) Stock Present a Tempting Options Trade * Amazon Put Options at Lower Strike Prices Have High Yields * What are Global Markets Watching Monday? * Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Investor focus this week is on a flurry of U.S. economic data, with particular attention on the PCE inflation reading and the advance estimate of fourth-quarter GDP, the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting, and earnings reports from several high-profile companies. In Friday’s trading session, Wall Street’s major equity averages closed mixed. Software stocks climbed, with CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) rising over +4% and ServiceNow (NOW) gaining more than +3%. Also, cryptocurrency-exposed stocks popped after the price of Bitcoin rose more than +4%, with Coinbase Global (COIN) jumping over +16% to lead gainers in the S&P 500 and Strategy (MSTR) surging more than +8% to lead gainers in the Nasdaq 100. In addition, Applied Materials (AMAT) advanced over +8% after the largest U.S. supplier of chipmaking gear posted better-than-expected FQ1 results and issued surprisingly strong FQ2 guidance. On the bearish side, Constellation Brands (STZ) slumped more than -8% and was the top percentage loser on the S&P 500 after the alcoholic beverage company said Nicholas Fink would succeed Bill Newlands as CEO. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report released on Friday showed that consumer prices rose +0.2% m/m in January, weaker than expectations of +0.3% m/m and the smallest gain since July. On an annual basis, headline inflation eased to +2.4% in January from +2.7% in December, weaker than expectations of +2.5%. Also, the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and fuel prices, rose +0.3% m/m and +2.5% y/y in January, in line with expectations. Story continues “For the Fed, [the CPI report] probably doesn’t change much in the near term,” said James McCann at Edward Jones. “We do see scope for further easing later this year. However, this is contingent on a more convincing decline in inflation towards target with the urgency for additional cuts lower now that downside risks in the labor market have seemingly eased.” Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said on Friday that the central bank could lower interest rates further if inflation is on course to hit its 2% target, but that is not currently the case. “Right now, we are not on a path back to 2%. We’re kind of stuck at 3%, and that’s not acceptable,” Goolsbee said. U.S. rate futures have priced in a 92.2% chance of no rate change and a 7.8% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut at the conclusion of the Fed’s March meeting. In this holiday-shortened week, the December reading of the U.S. core personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, will be the main highlight, as investors continue to gauge the timing of the next interest rate cut. The advance estimate of U.S. gross domestic product for the fourth quarter will also be closely watched, encompassing a period that included the longest-ever federal government shutdown. Other noteworthy data releases include U.S. Durable Goods Orders, Core Durable Goods Orders, Housing Starts, Building Permits, Industrial Production, Manufacturing Production, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, Initial Jobless Claims, Trade Balance, Pending Home Sales, the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index, Personal Spending, Personal Income, the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI (preliminary), the S&P Global Services PMI (preliminary), New Home Sales, and the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index. Market participants will also be monitoring the Fed’s minutes from the January 27-28 meeting, set for release on Wednesday, to assess the debate between officials who support keeping rates steady and those who advocate for rate cuts. The FOMC left interest rates unchanged last month following three consecutive cuts at the end of 2025. “The January minutes will likely detail the arguments that support a wait-and-see approach versus those that could support rate cuts, consistent with the different viewpoints expressed by various FOMC policymakers since the meeting,” according to HSBC analysts. In addition, market watchers will scrutinize remarks from a host of Fed officials. Fed Governor Michael Barr, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan are scheduled to speak this week. Fourth-quarter corporate earnings season is winding down, but several notable companies are due to report this week, including Walmart (WMT), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), Analog Devices (ADI), Booking Holdings (BKNG), Deere & Company (DE), and Constellation Energy (CEG). Meanwhile, quarterly 13F filings detailing the holdings and transactions of Berkshire Hathaway and other major investors are set to begin appearing this week, shedding light on fourth-quarter portfolio changes. Today, investors will focus on the New York Fed-compiled Empire State Manufacturing Index, which is set to be released in a couple of hours. Economists expect the February figure to come in at 6.4, compared to 7.7 in January. In the bond market, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note is at 4.028%, down -0.59%. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index is up +0.02% this morning, attempting to stabilize after days of volatility fueled by concerns over the disruptive impact of AI across various industries. Utilities, insurance, and healthcare stocks advanced on Tuesday. At the same time, mining stocks slumped as metal prices retreated. Defense stocks also slid, with attention on key nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran as well as U.S.-brokered peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Geneva. Data from the Office for National Statistics released on Tuesday showed that the U.K. unemployment rate climbed to its highest level since the pandemic and wage growth cooled in the fourth quarter, giving the Bank of England further reason to cut its key rate next month. Separately, final data confirmed that Germany’s annual inflation rate rose to 2.1% in January. In addition, the ZEW economic research institute reported that German investor morale unexpectedly declined in February, underscoring the fragile nature of the recovery in Europe’s biggest economy. Investor attention now shifts to the Eurozone PMI data, which will provide a more timely snapshot of business activity midway through the first quarter, along with comments from European Central Bank officials, including Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel, due later in the week. In corporate news, Avolta AG (AVOL.Z.IX) climbed over +6% after UBS upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral. U.K. Average Earnings ex Bonus, U.K. Unemployment Rate, Germany’s CPI, Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index, and Eurozone’s ZEW Economic Sentiment Index were released today. U.K. Average Earnings ex Bonus stood at 4.2% in the three months to December, in line with expectations. The U.K. Unemployment Rate was 5.2% in the three months to December, weaker than expectations of 5.1%. The German January CPI rose +0.1% m/m and +2.1% y/y, in line with expectations. The German February ZEW Economic Sentiment Index came in at 58.3, weaker than expectations of 65.8. The Eurozone February ZEW Economic Sentiment Index arrived at 39.4, weaker than expectations of 45.7. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Index (NIK) closed down -0.42%, while China’s financial markets were closed for a holiday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Index closed lower today as the absence of fresh catalysts prompted investors to lock in profits. Technology stocks were among the biggest losers on Tuesday. Persistent concerns about AI-driven disruption continued to weigh on growth-oriented names, with SoftBank Group slumping over -5% and dragging the benchmark index down by 187 points. Financial and industrial stocks also slid. Limiting losses, energy and automobile stocks advanced. Ryotaro Sawada, senior analyst at Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Laboratory, said, “There’s just far too little in the way of catalysts. We’re seeing some technical profit-taking.” Meanwhile, Japan’s bonds climbed on Tuesday after demand at a five-year government bond auction increased for the first time since September amid fading expectations of an early rate hike by the Bank of Japan. In other news, Reuters reported on Tuesday that Japan is likely to see annual bond issuance jump 28% three years from now due to rising debt-servicing costs, raising questions about Premier Sanae Takaichi’s claim that the country can implement tax cuts without increasing debt. In corporate news, Sumitomo Pharma climbed over +7% as Japan’s health ministry is set to review the drugmaker’s iPS cell-derived therapy for advanced Parkinson’s disease this week. Investor focus this week is on Japan’s trade and inflation data, with the latter anticipated to ease while remaining close to the BOJ’s target. The Nikkei Volatility Index, which takes into account the implied volatility of Nikkei 225 options, closed down -3.90% to 29.82. China’s Shanghai Composite Index was closed today for the Lunar New Year holiday. Mainland China’s financial markets will reopen on Tuesday, February 24th. **Pre-Market U.S. Stock Movers** The Magnificent Seven stocks are moving lower in pre-market trading, with Meta Platforms (META) and Nvidia (NVDA) falling over -1%. Chip stocks slid in pre-market trading. Micron Technology (MU) is down more than -2%. Also, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel (INTC) are down over -1%. Dollar General (DG) fell over -1% in pre-market trading after Rothschild & Co. Redburn downgraded the stock to Sell from Neutral with a $111 price target. ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) jumped more than +35% in pre-market trading after German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd agreed to acquire the company for $4.2 billion. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) climbed over +7% in pre-market trading after the Wall Street Journal reported that activist Elliott Investment Management had built a more than 10% stake in the company and plans to push for changes. _You can see more __pre-market stock movers__ here_ **Today’s U.S. Earnings Spotlight: Tuesday - February 17th** Medtronic (MDT), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), Republic Services (RSG), Energy Transfer LP (ET), Vulcan Materials Company (VMC), EQT Corporation (EQT), Kenvue (KVUE), DTE Energy Company (DTE), FirstEnergy (FE), Devon Energy (DVN), Expand Energy (EXE), Labcorp Holdings (LH), Leidos Holdings (LDOS), Genuine Parts Company (GPC), Somnigroup International (SGI), RB Global (RBA), MKS Inc.

Oil Slips: Iran Talks, Ukraine Blockade, and VLCC Crunch Drive Price Movement ============================================================================= Michael Kern Wed, February 18, 2026 at 2:47 AM GMT+9 6 min read In this article: CL=F -0.80% This week's energy newsletter reviews oil and gas price shifts, U.S. rig count figures, key corporate acquisitions and discoveries, and analyzes major geopolitical events impacting global oil trade, including shipping market manipulation and rising Chinese imports of Russian crude. * The oil market’s shipping segment is being rocked by a brazen attempt to corner it, with a South Korean shipping tycoon hoovering up any available VLCCs in the market. * Ga-Hyun Chung’s Sinokor Group has bought or chartered over 120 very large crude carriers (VLCC), 10% of the total market that currently counts an aggregate 1,032 operational tankers. * In one of the most recent purchases, Sinokor bought eight VLCCs, mostly built in 2015 and 2016, from Cyprus-based Frontline for a whopping $831.5 million. * There is a widespread speculation that Sinokor in fact isn’t acting alone, but in unison with the world’s pre-eminent shipping magnate, Gianluigi Aponte, who runs the MSC empire. * The price of 10-year-old VLCCs have gone up by $20 million in just six weeks, currently around $105 million per ship, with VLCC rates soaring globally as charterers are struggling to find adequate tonnage. **Market Movers** * Germany’s shipping giant **Hapag-Lloyd** (ETR:HLAG) has agreed to buy Israel’s Zim Integrated Shipping Services in a deal worth $4.2 billion, a 58% premium over Zim’s stock at Friday’s close last week. * Norway’s state oil firm **Equinor** (NYSE:EQNR) has discovered an oil and gas field with its Granat exploration well in the Norwegian North Sea, however its recoverable reserves are believed to be only 3-4 million boe. * Italy’s oil major **ENI** (BIT:ENI) reported a ‘significant’ natural gas discovery with its Murene South wildcat, confirming a net gas pay of more than 50 m and potentially boosting the wider Calao South complex’s reserves to 5 TCf. * US oil major Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and its Greek partner Helleniq Energy (ATH:ELPE) landed lease agreements with the government of Greece for four offshore blocks, seeking to tap into gas reserves to the south of the island of Crete. **Tuesday, February 17, 2026** Geneva sets the tone for mid-February trading, concurrently holding two high-stakes negotiations. The surprisingly positive vibes emanating from US-Iran talks are counterweighed by a much sterner sentiment in the Russia-Ukraine meeting, with the latter being much more bullish for crude amidst intensifying attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure. ICE Brent has shed more than $1 per barrel after Tehran announced some form of understanding with the US, trading below $68 per barrel. Story Continues **Tehran Holds Military Drills Amidst Talks. **Iran has been sending mixed messages to oil markets after Foreign Minister Araqchi claimed to have reached an understanding on main principles with the US, only for Tehran’s IRGC forces to shut parts of the Strait of Hormuz for a couple of hours. **Chinese Imports of Russian Oil Set for New High. **China’s seaborne imports of Russian oil are expected to surpass 2 million b/d for the first time on record, marking a hefty 300,000 b/d increase from the previous all-time high posted this January, as India’s buying of Russian Urals falters.  **India Seizes Iran-Linked Tankers. **India’s Coast Guard has seized three OFAC-sanctioned oil tankers linked to Iran, claiming they intercepted the Stellar Ruby, Asphalt Star and Al Jafzia vessels some 100 nautical miles west of Mumbai after detecting suspicious activity in its territorial waters. **Ukraine Blocks Russia’s Remaining Pipeline Flows. **The governments of Hungary and Slovakia have turned to Croatia for help in supplying Russian oil through the Adriatic Sea after Ukraine halted transportation of crude through the Druzhba pipeline on January 27, citing damaged infrastructure. **Turkey Starts Exploring Somalia’s Wild Coast. **Turkey has sent its deepwater drilling vessel Cagri Bey to Somalia, one of the last untapped exploration frontiers globally, to spud the Curad-1 exploration well in the African country’s maritime zone, expecting to start drilling operations by mid-April. **China’s Offshore Major Eye Refinery Deals. **China’s state-controlled offshore specialist CNOOC (SHA:600938) is in advanced talks with fellow firm Sinochem to take over its 300,000 b/d Quanzhou refinery as well as adjacent retail and storage assets, as the latter posted a $280 million loss in 2025. **Ukraine Drone Hit Lifts Europe’s Coal Prices. **Ukraine’s drone strikes on the Russian Black Sea port of Taman are expected to disrupt Russia’s coal exports, sending Europe’s API 2 coal benchmark in Rotterdam to $106 per metric tonne, a 4% weekly gain and the highest price since July 2025. **Vitol Moves into South Africa’s LNG. **Global commodity trader Vitol has backed plans to build a 1.8 GW capacity gas-fired power plant along with an LNG import terminal in South Africa’s east coast Durban port, expecting to spend $3 billion on the project as it teams up with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA. **Kenya Gives Up on Refinery Ambitions. **Kenya’s government has postponed plans for an 850-km crude pipeline connecting the upcoming 50,000 b/d South Lokichar project to the country’s coast, whilst also failing to garner finances for the redevelopment of the Mombasa refinery. **Pemex’s Debt Spree Continues. **Ending its 6-year abstinence from local markets**, **Mexico’s state oil company Pemex sold a record $1.8 billion worth of local currency debt last week, the highest ever monthly debt issuance in the country’s markets even though February is only halfway through. **Kazakhstan Eyes New Refinery by 2033. **Kazakhstan plans to launch a new refinery by 2033 as the Central Asian country struggles to overcome its structural gasoline and diesel deficits, with the new plant rumoured to have a capacity of 200,000 b/d and to be located in the central Ulytau region. **Santos Wins Big in Landmark Greenwashing Case. **Australia’s top oil producer Santos (ASX:STO) has won a 2021 court case against environmentalists that claimed it misled shareholders on its 2040 net zero commitments, with a federal court in Sydney fully dismissing greenwashing allegations. **US Scares Shippers with New Wave of Port Fees. **The White House announced a new proposal to impose port fees on ships built in third countries, introducing a so-called ‘universal infrastructure security fee’, suggesting a payment of $0.01/kg that could yield $66 billion in revenue over 10 years.

Hapag-Lloyd Agrees $4.2 Billion Zim Deal at 58% Premium ======================================================= Khac Phu Nguyen Wed, February 18, 2026 at 2:20 AM GMT+9 2 min read In this article: HLAGF +0.07% ZIM +27.17% This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Hapag-Lloyd has agreed to acquire Zim Integrated Shipping Services (NYSE:ZIM) in a transaction that could signal a more assertive push toward scale as freight markets remain under pressure. Under the terms announced Monday, the German carrier will pay $35 a share in cash, valuing the Israeli company at about $4.2 billion. The offer implies a 58% premium to Zim's closing price on Friday, suggesting Hapag-Lloyd is prepared to commit meaningful capital to strengthen its presence in Asia. While US markets were closed for Presidents' Day, Zim gained 4.8% on Friday, whereas Hapag-Lloyd shares fell as much as 9% in Frankfurt following confirmation of the agreement. * Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with ZIM. * Is ZIM fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The backdrop is an industry adjusting to weaker freight rates after the pandemic-driven surge, when carriers ordered record numbers of vessels to meet elevated demand. Both Hapag-Lloyd and Zim have reported shrinking profits in recent periods, reinforcing the case that consolidation could be viewed as a strategic response to a more normalized earnings environment. Zim, headquartered in Haifa, operates 145 ships, including 130 container vessels and 15 vehicle transport vessels, and follows what it describes as a charter-intensive, asset-light fleet model, meaning a significant portion of its ships are leased rather than owned. That structure could offer operational flexibility, though integration and execution risks will likely remain part of the investment debate. Regulatory considerations may prove central. The Israeli government holds a golden share in Zim, granting it control over strategic matters, including ownership, reflecting the company's status as a strategic asset and its role in maintaining open shipping lines during emergencies. Hapag-Lloyd has also entered into a separate arrangement with FIMI Opportunity Funds to create an entity that will own 16 of Zim's ships serving key trading routes into Israel, a framework that may address sensitivities around foreign ownership. The deal remains subject to regulatory approvals in Israel and is expected to close by the end of 2026, positioning it as a longer-dated strategic move that investors will likely assess through the lens of capital allocation, geopolitical exposure and earnings durability. 條款 及 私隱政策 Privacy Dashboard More Info
