Shutthiphong Chandaeng/iStock via Getty Images Market Review Equity markets in the developing world, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, slipped 0.2% in the first quarter. The monthslong rally across equity markets in the developing world—fuelled in part by global investors seeking alternatives to US risk assets—came to an abrupt end in March due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the US's and Israel's joint military campaign against Iran curbed risk appetites. News that Iran had imposed a near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the airstrikes rattled investors, who feared that its effective closure would have dire consequences for the global economy given that one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas and roughly one-third of the world's fertilizer that sustains global crops pass through the narrow waterway. Global stock and oil markets were volatile throughout March, as investors searched for any signs that a de-escalation of hostilities was on the horizon. The price of Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, ended March at US$118.45 per barrel, a 63% increase since the war in Iran began on 2 February, and the largest monthly jump in percentage terms on record. Emerging Asia, which is heavily reliant on crude oil from the Middle East, was the worst-performing region in the period, falling 1.5%, due largely to worries that the oil shock will adversely impact the region's economic outlook. Nevertheless, stock markets in global technology hubs Korea and Taiwan both rose sharply, thanks to the demand upcycle for memory chips. China's stock market fell as a result of a sell-off of AI-linked stocks. India's stock market fell on concerns about the impact that surging oil prices will have on the country's economy. Indonesia's stock market tumbled on news that index provider MSCI was considering removing the country as a constituent of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index due to low liquidity and ownership concentrations, which, if...

Housing secretary also targets Reform as May elections loom, saying Farage more interested in Trump than own constituency The Greens have welcomed activists kicked out of Labour for antisemitic views and people should be “very careful” who they vote for next month, one of Keir Starmer’s most senior ministers has said in a notable stepping-up of attacks on Zack Polanski’s party. In a double-pronged attack on the two parties expected to make big gains in the elections on 7 May, Steve Reed also accused Nigel Farage of being more interested in talking to Donald Trump then representing his Clacton constituency.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The Market Is Worshipping The Wrong King If AI is the defining industrial buildout of this era, the company that determines whether the most advanced chips can be made shouldn't be worth only one-eighth as much as Nvidia ( NVDA ). That gap looks tough to defend. Yet that is where the market sits today. Nvidia is worth about $4.53 trillion. ASML ( ASML ) is worth roughly $584 billion at its current share price. Why does that gulf exist? Largely because investors give more attention to companies that sit closest to the boom in plain sight. Nvidia is clearly where demand is most obvious. For now, Nvidia gets most of the glory. ASML is positioned a great deal farther upstream. Despite this, every real attempt to expand advanced AI compute still runs through its roadmap. ASML controls the bottleneck that matters most. That means it has a hand in how fast leading-edge supply can expand. In a real industrial arms race, the company that effectively improves capacity should over time matter more than the company that is now cashing in on scarcity. Even in this highly competitive landscape, the company still has far more room to grow. There are still reasons that this thesis could turn out to be incorrect. It remains to be seen if investors will eventually close that gap. ASML EUV lithography system (ASML Investor Materials) ASML Owns The Hardest Monopoly In AI ASML is the only company making EUV lithography technology . This is not a software lead that can be eroded by a developer tool or a more aggressive competitor. It is a monopoly rooted in precision optics, engineering integration, and decades of accumulated hands-on knowledge and experience. ASML’s own materials describe EUV as unique to the company, and its High-NA EXE systems are moving into high-volume manufacturing for sub-2 nanometer logic and leading-edge DRAM. By the end of 2025, customers had already run more than 400,000 wafers on High-NA systems. That is no...
