Gold just did what safe havens are supposed to do: it went vertical. On Jan. 26, bullion surged past the psychological $5,000 barrier and briefly topped $5,100 an ounce as investors stampeded toward insurance. This move extends a historic run that saw the precious metal rise 64% in 2025, marking the metal's biggest annual gain […]

Bitcoin’s earliest realistic path to becoming the world’s global reserve currency (defined here as reserve-currency primacy rather than limited reserve-asset adoption) sits around the mid-2040s under a scenario model that treats official mandates, collateral usage, and invoicing conventions as binding constraints. That timeline starts from a reserve system where total global foreign-exchange reserves reached $12.94 […]

President Donald Trump's announcement that he would not impose tariffs scheduled for Feb. 1 triggered a sharp reversal in risk assets, with Bitcoin rebounding above $90,000 after testing $87,300 earlier in the session.

Bitcoin is struggling to build momentum around the $90,000 level, yet at least one headline-grabbing buyer appears to be leaning in the opposite direction. Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream, said on X (formerly Twitter) that a “Bitfinex whale” is purchasing roughly 450 Bitcoin per day at current price levels, a pace that would translate […]

European leaders facing a Greenland-linked dispute with Washington could treat U.S. Treasurys as a leverage point.

The Financial Times has framed […]

At first glance, this looks like a story that lives on the back pages of a newspaper, Japanese government bonds with maturities that run so long they sound like a joke, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years.

Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, walked onto the World Economic Forum's Davos stage yesterday and said the quiet part out loud.

Natural gas prices surged 17.76% on Jan. 19, driven by cold forecasts across Northeast Asia and Europe, tightening liquidity in global LNG markets, and short-covering in European storage inventories sitting 15% points below the five-year average.

On Monday morning, the market did that thing it always does when politics stops being background noise and starts grabbing the steering wheel.

Bitcoin investors may be watching CPI prints, but the real inflation stress is showing up in stranger places. Inflation looks like it’s easing, until you zoom in.

European Central Bank chief economist Philip Lane delivered a warning that most markets treated as European housekeeping: the ECB can stay on its easing path for now, but a Federal Reserve “tussle” over mandate independence could destabilize global markets through higher US term premiums and a reassessment of the dollar's role.
