Vertigo3d Cryptocurrency investment products recorded outflows of $288M for the week ending February 23, registering the fifth consecutive week of outflows and bringing five-week outflows to $4B, still well below the $6B recorded over the same period last year. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) recorded outflows of $215M last week, according to a CoinShares report. On the other hand, short Bitcoin investment products recorded inflows totaling $5.5M. According to the report, Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) saw the second-largest outflow of $36.5M, while multi-asset products and Tron saw outflows of $32.5M and $18.9M, respectively. On the other hand, XRP, Solana ( SOL-USD ), and Chainlink ( LINK-USD ) registered minor inflows, totaling $3.5M, $3.3M, and $1.2M, respectively. However, the inflows were not enough to offset the net outflows in altcoins. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ Head of Research, highlighted that after several weeks of record ETP trading volumes, activity fell sharply to $17B, the lowest level since July 2025, underscoring growing investor apathy. The U.S. saw $347M in outflows last week as U.S. investors continued to exhibit negative sentiment. However, sentiment was positive across several regions, as investors viewed the recent price weakness as a buying opportunity, with Switzerland, Canada, and Germany recording inflows of $19.5M, $16.8M, and $16.2M, respectively.

PM asks ethics adviser to examine conduct of Cabinet Office minister amid Labour Together scandal fallout UK politics live – latest updates Keir Starmer has opened a formal investigation into a Cabinet Office minister involved in falsely accusing journalists of having links to pro-Russian propaganda.

Officials were told by Simons’s team that the former adviser was “suspected of links to Russian intelligence”. Continue reading...

Is MSFT Stock Vulnerable to Rising Capex Pressure From AI Spending? Zacks Investment Research

Colombia’s peso is defying economic and political woes after a surprisingly hawkish pivot in monetary policy reinforced the dominant carry trade. A larger-than-expected interest rate hike on Jan. 30 and signals of more increases to come have stalled an incipient slide in the peso, even as the government scoops up dollars to bolster its cash reserves. The aggressive start to the tightening cycle was triggered by a 23.7% hike in the minimum wage that upended inflation expectations. And while the high court suspended the measure a few weeks later, the government has doubled down on its decision, keeping the increase in a decree on Friday. The court dispute has done little to dent the currency’s carry trade appeal — where investors borrow in one currency with low interest rates and invest in another with higher rates. “Keeping that 23%, even with the uncertainty, doesn’t alter” inflation expectations or the need to keep raising rates, said Andres Pardo , chief LatAm macro strategist for XP Investments. “By the time the State Council makes the final decision, it may already be too late.” Carry is masking concern over Colombia’s deep fiscal imbalances and the prospect of the left clinging onto power in this year’s election. The country is the only major economy in the region expected to hike rates this year, with the market pricing in around 200 basis points of increases.

Even before the minimum wage controversy, policymakers were expected to begin tightening policy last month as a way to counter growing inflation pressures. But the magnitude of the first hike — 100 basis points to 10.25% — sent a much stronger message than expected. “In the last month, without a doubt, the central bank has pla...

Ever notice how the biggest turning points in life often hinge on something small—a glance, an offhand remark, a roommate who hands you $1,000 when you're about to drop out of college? MacKenzie Scott knows that feeling firsthand. Before she became one of the world's most influential philanthropists—and, yes, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—she was a college sophomore with a broken tooth, a dwindling bank account, and a friend who refused to let her quit. Don't Miss: The ‘ChatGPT of

The power tools that took gold. Plus, sustainable subscriptions that make life easier and the best steam irons, tested • Don’t get the Filter delivered to your inbox? Sign up here Speed, power, endurance, precision … the best cordless drills share many traits with Olympic athletes. Subconsciously, this might have informed my method for testing these power tools: a gauntlet of DIY challenges, against the clock. We called this endeavour the “Drillympics”, made up of a series of workstations devised to thoroughly test each product’s key functions. It’s been claimed that sport reveals character, and the testing certainly taught me a lot about the drills. I found out which ones worked the quickest (congrats to our Drillympic champion, the Makita DHP490Z ), as well as which provided the easiest drill bit changeover (handy for working on multifaceted projects) and whether the drills were capable of doing all the jobs they claimed to. I also learned, much to my alarm, that drilling into wood with the drill bit turning in the wrong direction is an efficient way to start a fire. Continue reading...

‘I was playing all day and night in a kind of fever, throwing in pop, jazz, violin, guitars and polyrhythms, while wrestling with some demons’ We had a family farm three hours west of Chicago, and when I was scoping out potential studio spaces I remembered some barns where my brother and I used to make forts out of hay bales when we were little. One was in rough shape and had racoons living in it, but I got a local carpenter to do the skilled jobs and I did the mundane stuff such as boards for the ceiling. Then I just moved in, but I hadn’t realised how isolating it would be. It was February and snowing and none of my friends had cars. I’d go for two weeks at a time without speaking to anyone. So I started experimenting with a loop pedal, messing around with songs. Continue reading...

P_Wei/E+ via Getty Images Wall Street opened lower on Monday as renewed uncertainty gripped markets following President Donald Trump’s recent tariff announcement. The S&P 500 ( SP500 ) -0.3%, the Dow ( DJI ) -0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) -0.4%. Treasury yields were mixed across the curve. The 2-year yield ( US2Y ) held steady at 3.48%. The 10-year yield ( US10Y ) slipped to 4.06%, down 3 basis points, while the 30-year yield ( US30Y ) eased to 4.71%, falling 2 basis points. Elsewhere, crypto prices were also under pressure , with bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) briefly sliding to below $65K on the back of outsized outflows from spot exchange-traded funds tracking the token. Trump on Saturday said that he will increase his newly announced global tariff level to 15% from 10% even after the Supreme Court struck down most of the tariffs he imposed last year.
