There’s an unspoken rule for juniors on Wall Street: don’t outshine your MD. It just got broken en masse.

A group of junior analysts at major firms posed in Loro Piana and Rolex at Delmonico's for Interview magazine.

Gas prices hit their highest level of President Trump's second term this week, as oil markets absorbed the shock of US and Israeli strikes on Iran last weekend. Brent crude crossed $91 a barrel, and BloombergNEF estimates only about half the eventual price increase has reached the pump yet, with roughly 90% expected to land within three weeks.

When asked about rising fuel costs, the president's response was brief: "If they rise, they rise." The only question now is, how high?

📈 | Day One Biopharmaceuticals (DAWN) will be acquired by French drugmaker Servier for $2.5B.

📉 | Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL) dropped along with the broader S&P Bank ETF as a bear steepening of the yield curve raised concerns about net interest margins, credit risk, and loan demand.

📈 | Samsara (IOT) issued full-year guidance that topped Wall Street's estimates.

📉 | Gap (GAP) earnings came in one cent below analyst consensus.

📈 | CF Industries (CF) hit a 52-week high as the Iran conflict threatened global fertilizer supply chains through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Rating: Analyst Keith Bachman at BMO Capital Markets upgraded Okta to Outperform on increased confidence in revenue growth durability.

The Thesis: Rising adoption of AI agents will make identity and access management a critical enterprise priority, positioning Okta as an early beneficiary among established identity vendors.

The Follow-On: Okta has already launched two AI agent products with early positive reception, and Bachman believes smaller identity vendors lack the scale and enterprise trust to compete at Okta's level.

💼 | US payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, another red flag for the labor market.

🛍️ | Retail sales fell 0.2% in January, below flat expectations, as declines at auto dealers and gas stations outweighed gains in online and home-goods spending.

🚨 | Trump said the US will not negotiate with Iran until it achieves what he called an "unconditional surrender" and "acceptable" new leadership in Tehran.

📉 | BlackRock (BLK) capped quarterly redemptions on its HPS Corporate Lending Fund for the first time in the fund’s four-year history, after withdrawal requests reached 9.3% of net asset value.

⚖️ | US CBP told a federal judge it cannot immediately comply with an order to refund an estimated $166 billion in tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal.
