Global markets are pivoting around central bank policy expectations and the prospect of a US-Iran deal, with the Federal Reserve’s imminent decision keeping risk appetite in check, First National Bank said in a brief on Wednesday.
Wall Street closed mixed as the Dow Jones gained 0.64% on rotation into value, while profit-taking in semiconductor names weighed on the S&P 500, which was down 0.57%, and the NASDAQ, which fell 1.15%.
In Europe, falling oil prices on hopes of a breakthrough between the US and Iran supported the FTSE 100, up 0.61%, and the Euro Stoxx 50, which closed 0.45% higher, with banks and industrials leading.
Asian trading is split as investors await new stimulus signals from China and the Federal Reserve’s direction. The Nikkei 225 is currently up 0.68% and the ASX 200 has gained 0.51% so far, while the Hang Seng Index is moving 0.37% lower, reflecting both policy caution and uneven sectoral momentum.
Gold is treading water near recent highs, providing a steady backdrop for gold miners, while softer platinum and palladium prices may temper enthusiasm among PGM counters. Overall, the offshore tone favours risk, with resources likely to underpin early JSE momentum.
The local bourse continued to ride on the previous session’s momentum on Monday as markets rallied on the back of a tentative peace agreement between the US and Iran.
This led to record gains on the day, with emerging markets benefiting from improved investor appetite for riskier assets. In terms of performance, the All Share Index and Top 40 Index gained 2.51% and 2.72% to 115 556 points and 107 546 points, respectively.
Resources remained ahead of the pack, rallying 6.40% on the day on the back of a solid performance in the precious metals and mining index (+9.15%), which was led by Harmony (+11.21%) and Implats (+11.01%). Industrials and Financials also delivered solid gains, closing up 0.51% and 1.38%, respectively.

Govt deploying fiscal packages explicitly structured to fast-track commercial solar power generation, localize the advanced battery manufacturing industry, and expand electric transport networks
In a major strategic shift designed to combat global climate change risks, bolster national energy security, and phase out expensive fossil fuel dependencies, the government is preparing a massive slate of tax exemptions and fiscal incentives for the renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) sectors in the upcoming FY27 national budget.
State planners are deploying targeted fiscal packages explicitly structured to fast-track commercial solar power generation, localize the advanced battery manufacturing industry, and expand electric transport networks.
According to internal sources from the Ministry of Finance, the proposed budget is highly likely to feature a 0% corporate income tax rate on commercial solar power production.
To incentivize green adoption on the demand side, a secondary proposal to offer up to a 5% rebate on retail electricity bills for consumers utilizing residential solar energy installations is also under serious active consideration.
Energy analysts view this policy overhaul as a critical turning point for the country’s power infrastructure.
Decades of heavy reliance on imported Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), coal, and furnace oil have continuous placed severe structural pressure on the central foreign exchange reserves.
To reduce initial setup costs for renewable infrastructure and storage, the upcoming budget plans to fully waive all import duties and structural taxes on raw input materials required to manufacture Lithium-Ion batteries, Sodium-Ion batteries, and specialized Lithium-Ion battery packs until 2030.
This represents a profound fiscal imbalance. National energy taxation should be determined based on lifecycles and real environmental impacts, rather than focusing entirely on standard supply-chain categories

CrowdStrike shares slumped 11% in premarket trading on Thursday despite the cybersecurity company delivering better-than-expected quarterly results, as investors appeared unimpressed by annual recurring revenue growth and likely opted to lock in gains following a blistering rally.
The stock had been one of the strongest performers in the software sector, rising about 60% in May alone and roughly 65% so far this year, fueled by optimism that artificial intelligence would drive a new wave of cybersecurity spending.
The stock ran hard into the print on AI-security enthusiasm, and when a name is priced to perfection like this, even a strong quarter can get sold on the news," Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, wrote on Wednesday ahead of the earnings release.
Jefferies lowered its price target slightly to $760 from $775 but maintained a Buy rating, while Barclays raised its target to $675 from $650 and reiterated its Overweight recommendation.
Barclays analyst Saket Kalia noted that net new ARR reached $256 million but missed the firm's more optimistic upside scenario because deals tied to CrowdStrike's Mythos launch in April are expected to take longer to close.TD Cowen also remained bullish, raising its target price to $700 from $625 and reiterating a Buy rating.
The firm said investors were looking for a larger upside surprise after the stock's rapid appreciation and added that the post-earnings decline should prove temporary.
CrowdStrike currently trades at 137.81 times estimated earnings for the next 12 months, according to LSEG data, compared with 68.91 times for Palo Alto Networks and 31.03 times for Okta.
Swissquote analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya said the stock's decline despite an earnings beat suggests investors are becoming increasingly willing to take profits after strong gains.
The move is "a sign that profit-taking is becoming increasingly attractive when valuations look stretched," Ozkardeskaya writes.
She added that the reaction could be an early indication that parts of the technology sector may be vulnerable to a broader summer correction, particularly among stocks that have rallied sharply on AI enthusiasm.

The London Stock Exchange (LSEG) share price has pulled back in the past few weeks, moving from the April high of 10,120p to the current 9,162p. This retreat will likely be brief as the company’s fundamentals are still strong and it has slowly formed the bullish inverted head-and-shoulders pattern.
The daily chart shows that the LSEG stock price has pulled back from its April high of 10,010p to the current 9,162p. A closer look shows that it is slowly forming the highly bullish inverted head-and-shoulders pattern.
This pattern’s neckline is at 10,010p, while the left and right shoulders are at around 8,065p, its lowest swing in September last year. The head is at the year-to-date low of 6,630p.
A H&S pattern is one of the most common bullish reversal signs in technical analysis. Its price target is estimated by measuring the distance between the neckline and the head, and then extrapolating it from the neckline.
In this case, the distance between the two is about 34%. Measuring the same distance from the neckline gives it a target of 13,440p. If this happens, it means that the stock will jump by 47% from the current level.
On the other hand, a drop below the shoulder section of 8,084p will invalidate the bullish outlook and point to further downside.
Still, this pattern has formed on the daily chart, which is normally slower than shorter-timeframe charts like the hourly and four-hour charts. This means that it may take time, possibly months for the stock to jump to the target level.
Fundamentally, the London Stock Exchange’s business is sending mixed signals. On the negative side, the UK continues to experience an IPO drought. No major company has gone public at the bourse this year.
In contrast, the US markets are booming, with SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI set to go public. Combined, these companies are now valued at about $4 trillion, higher than the UK’s GDP.
On the positive side, the company’s finances are still growing, helped by its data and analytics business. The most recent results showed that its total revenue jumped by 9.8% in the first quarter. Its data and analytics business grew by 5.1%, while FTSE Russell, Risk Intelligence, and Markets grew by 8.8%, 10.5%, and 15.5%, respectively.
Most notably, the company’s subscriptions business is doing well, with its combined growth reaching 6.3%. This is important as some analysts have been concerned that some of its businesses will be disrupted by advanced AI models.

London Stock Exchange’s EBITDA margin continued to improve, helping the management to continue its shareholder returns. It has returned over 4.2 billion to shareholders in the past few years, a substantial amount for a company with a market capitalization of over 42.62 billion.
Still, a major challenge the company faces is that it is quite overvalued. It has a price-to-earnings ratio of 34, much higher than faster-growing companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft. As such, the management will need to supercharge its growth and profits over time.

April 28 (Reuters) - Foreign demand for U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds has remained strong for 15 consecutive months, according to Citigroup, as overseas investors rotate into ​technology, media and telecom (TMT) debt, as well as longer maturities, ‌while moving away from financial bonds.
This shift stands in contrast to recent concerns about rising debt levels at companies like Oracle (ORCL.N), opens new tab, which faced investor scrutiny over its funding ​plans for massive AI infrastructure expansion.
Foreign investors have rotated toward ​TMT and away from financials, and added more in the ⁠15y+ maturity bucket, in line with recent trends in the primary ​market," Citigroup said in a note dated April 27.
Foreign investors increased their ​share of purchases of TMT corporates to 26.1% in 2026 from 17.1% in 2025, while reducing exposure to financial debt to 39% from 53.8%, the Wall Street brokerage ​said.
The brokerage said U.S. corporates saw the largest inflows since February ​2025 from Canada, Japan, Norway, Taiwan, Kuwait and Hong Kong, with Hong Kong holdings ‌up ⁠19.4% after regulatory changes.
Demand for bonds with maturities over 15 years rose to 44.1% of total purchases in 2026 from 23.7% in 2025, Citi noted.
The brokerage highlighted positive rating actions for American Tower (AMT.N), opens new tab, Analog Devices (ADI.O), opens new tab, Keysight ​Technologies (KEYS.N), opens new tab and Cadence ​Design Systems (CDNS.O), opens new tab, citing ⁠improved credit profiles due to AI infrastructure buildout.
Global investors seeking long-duration credit exposure have no viable alternatives at ​scale, reinforcing the structural barriers to a widespread rotation ​away ⁠from U.S. assets," Citigroup noted.
According to the brokerage, U.S. companies account for most of the $11.6 trillion in top-rated corporate bonds in the U.S. and Europe, ⁠and ​issue the bulk of bonds maturing in over ​15 years, highlighting their strong position in long-term debt and their popularity with global pension ​and insurance investors.

In the current market landscape, trading on a centralized platform feels like driving on a paved highway, while decentralized trading can often feel like navigating a series of disconnected toll roads. Centralized exchanges ( CEXs) benefit from unified order books, where all global buy and sell interest is concentrated in one engine. This density allows for razor-thin spreads and minimal slippage.
In contrast, decentralized exchange ( DEX) users often pay what can be described as a “sovereignty tax.” The rise of Layer 2 ( L2) scaling solutions—while necessary for reducing costs—has inadvertently sharded liquidity. Instead of one deep pool of capital, liquidity is split across various networks, making it difficult for any single DEX to rival the depth of a major CEX. However, this fragmentation is not a fixed ceiling. As Jean Rausis, co-founder of Everything (formerly Smardex), suggests, “Existing and newly developed L2s are continuously reducing friction.”
A major hurdle for decentralized platforms is the sheer execution speed of their centralized counterparts. For many, the slight lag in a DEX is a manageable trade-off for a fundamental human right in the digital age: control over one’s own assets.
“In terms of speed and liquidity depth it will be a challenge to come close to the execution speed and low impact of a CEX,” Rausis said. Yet, he emphasizes that this comes with a distinct advantage. “At the costs of a fraction of the execution speed you get a fundamental right in return: custodianship of your funds. As a CEX user you will always depend on the willingness and viability of the exchange to trust your funds are safe
The fragility of decentralized protocols is often exposed during high- volatility events. Unlike centralized giants that maintain deep insurance funds, on-chain protocols can fall victim to liquidation cascades. This was vividly illustrated in October 2025, when a market shock triggered $19.35 billion in liquidations within a 24-hour window. In these scenarios, a chain reaction of forced sells can drain a protocol’s entire liquidity pool before the market has a chance to stabilize.
According to Rausis, the vulnerability lies in how these protocols interact with the outside world. “Two key elements of a flash crash liquidation cascade are external pricing and their subsequent immediate liquidations causing manipulated prices to wipe out an otherwise healthy pool,” he said.
To prevent these cascades without resorting to centralized circuit breakers, Rausis, whose platform has introduced a unified DeFi pre-market liquidity pool, argues that “removing the oracle pricing is the best prevention against this type of forced selling.” By allowing the on-chain pool to determine its own pricing and utilizing a time-weighted average price (TWAP) mechanism, protocols ensure assets are only liquidated when the real price has crossed a threshold, rather than being triggered by a flash crash of seconds.
Beyond safety, the next frontier for decentralized finance ( DeFi) is capital efficiency—specifically in the realm of perpetuals. Traditional finance (TradFi) has long held the crown for efficient capital use, often leading DeFi protocols to reduce collateral ratios to dangerous levels just to compete.
Rausis argues that DeFi does not need to mimic these risky ratios to win. Instead, “ DeFi perpetuals are able to rival TradFi in capital efficiency through architectural superiority.” He points to the use of unified liquidity pools, where “a single capital deployment can simultaneously earn yield as it serves as collateral for margin trading.”
By moving away from siloed capital and toward these multi-purpose pools, DeFi can create a more robust system. Furthermore, the shift toward “deterministic thresholds through tick-based liquidations” helps ensure a safe and predictable risk-free trading environment that mirrors the stability of professional markets without their centralized risks
The gap is closing, but the distinctions remain clear. Centralized exchanges will likely remain the home for high-frequency traders prioritizing pure execution. However, as L2s continue to mature and architectural innovations like unified liquidity and TWAP-based pricing become the standard, the disadvantages of DEXs are becoming less of a barrier and more of a manageable trade-off for the ultimate prize: financial autonomy and the security of self-custody.
Meanwhile, Rausis revealed that Everything opted to raise capital through a public dynamic funding round rather than institutional investors because of the difficulty in finding “valuable partners in the current crypto space that will not abuse the power they feel they have by demanding preferential terms.”
This funding approach, he added, allows the community to participate in swapping, lending, and margin trading from day one while the market determines the project’s fair value.

LONDON/MILAN, April 24 (Reuters) - (This April 24 story was refiled to remove an extra word from the advisory)
French automotive group Cosmobilis is in talks to buy the commercial rights to the World ​Rally Championship (WRC), two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Cosmobilis moved ahead ‌after an auction for Munich-based WRC Promoter was held by existing rights holders Red Bull and German investment firm KW25 earlier this year, the people said.
If negotiations and financing are concluded successfully, ​a deal could be announced in the summer, one person said.
The sources, ​who asked not to be named because the matter is confidential, ⁠said there remained a chance of no deal.
A Cosmobilis spokesperson declined to comment. ​WRC, Red Bull and KW25 did not reply to requests for comment
The likely price ​for WRC Promoter is expected to be less than 500 million euros ($585 million), one person said.
Eric Boullier, co-founder and CEO of Cosmobilis' Circle unit, is leading the bid, the people said. Boullier, ​who did not respond to requests for comment, was previously Lotus Formula One -- now ​Renault-owned Alpine -- principal and was racing director of McLaren from 2014 to 2018.
Motorsport's governing body, the ‌International ⁠Automobile Federation (FIA), announced last year a tender process to replace Red Bull and German investment company KW25 as commercial rights holders of the World Rally Championship after Reuters reported preparations for a sale.
The FIA is committed to ensuring ​the WRC continues to grow as one of the world's premier ​motor sport ⁠disciplines, and we are confident the outcome of this process will reflect that ambition.”
The WRC races on four different continents with 14 rounds this year. Its reigning champion ⁠is France's ​Sebastien Ogier. Since 2022, WRC Promoter has also ​organised the European Championship and the Rallycross Championship.

Quantum fears focus on vulnerable early wallets, but market data suggests even a worst case sell-off would be large, not catastrophic.
Quantum doomsayers warn that this would unleash a flood of supply and crash the market. The numbers suggest otherwise.
The threat of quantum computing is not in question.
Roughly 1.7 million BTC sit in Satoshi-era addresses that could be vulnerable under such a scenario. That is about $145 billion at current prices in potential sell pressure, which sounds catastrophic, but is in fact manageable.
During bull markets, long-term holders (investors that have held bitcoin for at least 155 days) routinely distribute between 10,000 and 30,000 BTC per day. At that pace, the entire Satoshi-era supply equates to roughly two to three months of typical profit taking. In the most recent bear market, more than 2.3 million BTC changed hands in a single quarter, exceeding the full quantum “target,” with no systemic collapse.
In addition, monthly exchange inflows approach 850,000 BTC. Derivatives markets cycle through notional volumes equivalent to the entire Satoshi stash every few days. What appears massive in isolation becomes relatively ordinary when set against bitcoin’s existing liquidity and turnover
A sudden, concentrated release would still matter. It would likely drive volatility and could trigger a prolonged downturn, according to Check. But even that scenario assumes economically irrational behavior. Any actor capable of accessing such a trove would be incentivized to distribute gradually, likely hedging through derivatives to minimize slippage and maximize returns.
Bitcoin markets routinely absorb supply on the same order of magnitude as the P2PK era coins. The timeframe is measured in months, not years.
The real issue is not mechanical sell pressure. It is governance. The bigger issue is potentially freezing the Satoshi coins, through BIP-361, then letting everything play out as it should.

The trade policies of the Trump administration have hurt the standing of the U.S. debt around the world, principally with heavy treasury holders like China that have been directly affected by these measures. According to recent data published by the U.S. Treasury, Chinese holdings of U.S. treasuries fell to a new low since 2009, with the Chinese government reducing its exposure by nearly $1 billion from the number reported in April.
While this might not be seen as a significant drop by some analysts, others claim that it signals a new direction in the Chinese policy towards acquiring American foreign debt, amidst the dangers of retaliation if trade negotiations go south.
In March, China reduced its exposure to the U.S. debt by nearly $19 billion, falling to the third place among the top holders of treasuries behind Japan and the U.K., while it sold $8.2 billion of its American debt stash in April
Despite the continued selling and ongoing trade tensions between the two nations, China still holds $756.3 billion in U.S. securities, which contradicts the theory that the Chinese government is weaponizing these assets.
Nonetheless, the offloading moves echo the recommendations of Chinese analysts about diversifying the exposure from these potentially risky assets to less troubled commodities, including safe havens like gold and other metals.
The U.S. government’s measures have driven debt holders worldwide to adjust their exposures, driving a substitution of international investors for local buyers. While foreign buyers held 57% of the treasury issuance in 2008, this number has fallen to 32%, signaling potential trust issues in the proficiency of the current administration in dealing with the spiraling debt issue.

The U.S. digital asset industry is pressing Congress to move faster on crypto market structure legislation as regulatory competition intensifies globally. On April 23, 2026, the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and over 90 organizations — with total support exceeding 100 when including Stand With Crypto chapters — urged the Senate Banking Committee to advance a markup of the CLARITY Act, arguing that a federal framework is now essential for market certainty, consumer protections, and long-term U.S. competitiveness.
In a joint letter to Senate Banking Committee leaders, the coalition stated that current momentum in Washington should translate into formal legislative action. The signatories included exchanges, venture firms, infrastructure providers, advocacy groups, and digital asset firms and organizations, including Coinbase, Circle, Kraken, Andreessen Horowitz, Chainalysis, Uniswap Labs, and Ripple.
The letter noted that the committee’s work follows years of bipartisan engagement across congressional offices and federal agencies. It also argued that agency activity alone cannot provide a lasting solution for the sector. The coalition warned against a return to “regulation by enforcement,” which it said created prolonged uncertainty for builders and market participants. It added:
The industry is positioning market structure as a foundational issue rather than a narrow compliance requirement. The letter explains that a comprehensive federal framework would clarify regulatory jurisdiction, introduce disclosure standards tailored to digital assets, and establish consistent rules across all 50 states. It also outlines key priorities, including maintaining consumer rewards linked to payment stablecoins, enabling oversight by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for tokenized financial instruments, safeguarding decentralized technology developers and service providers, and enhancing disclosure and token certification processes.
For crypto firms, investors, and developers, those issues affect where products launch, how businesses scale, and whether capital remains in the U.S. or moves offshore. For policymakers, the stakes include jobs, innovation, and the country’s strategic position in digital finance.
The broader argument in the letter is that the U.S. can still set the global standard if Congress acts while bipartisan engagement remains active. The coalition said the country’s leadership in financial markets has historically depended on clear rules, strong institutions, and openness to innovation. It used that point to position market structure legislation as a decision with near-term and long-term consequences for the digital asset economy. The letter concluded:
That outlook gives the issue relevance beyond the crypto sector, because the Senate’s next move could influence how digital assets are regulated, developed, and integrated into U.S. financial markets.
