```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on March 25 that, due to the recent influx of conflicting news reports received by investors one after another, whether these latest developments will remain effective when the US stock market opens on Thursday is still unknown. Exchange company strategist Brett Kenwell stated that investors still need to believe that the conflict is nearing its end. He said: “Investors not only need to see a de-escalation in the Middle East situation, but also need to be convinced that this easing will become reality. Since the first half of this month, the US stock market has performed steadily, but as tensions continue to escalate, risk-averse sentiment has begun to spread. To reverse this trend, investors need to be convinced that genuine and lasting stability will emerge in the future, and they also need to see oil prices start to decline.”```

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on March 25 that Meta Platforms (META.O) has, for the first time since its 2012 IPO, offered stock options to executives. This move aims to retain and compensate executives as the company continues to invest heavily to stand out in the fierce AI competition. According to documents filed by Meta on Tuesday, the company will introduce new options if its stock price reaches targeted levels in the coming years. A Meta spokesperson stated that these options will be granted to executives and other senior leaders directly responsible for the company's most important and strategic investments. The first batch of options will unlock if Meta's stock price reaches $1,116.08 per share (an 88% increase from current levels). On Tuesday, Meta shares closed at $592.92 per share in New York. The target prices for subsequent batches of options are even more aggressive, with a maximum of $3,727.12 per share, more than six times the current price. All options will be granted to executives by August 2030, regardless of Meta's stock price performance; if not exercised within five years, the options will expire.```

Golden Ten Data reported on March 25 that Australian waste collectors have warned that due to a tight diesel supply, waste collection services may be reduced, causing garbage to pile up. The industry also warned that rising diesel prices have led waste collectors to operate at a loss, and unless local governments are willing to pass on the costs to residents, some companies will face closure. Industry insiders stated that service interruptions could occur within days or weeks, but the sector has been excluded from the "priority fuel users" list, making it impossible to ensure diesel supply for essential services. Waste collector groups have sent a letter to Energy Minister Chris Bowen seeking assistance.
