Sheinbaum has recently been taking a firmer stance with the US, defying pressures where other countries have caved The Mexican government has voiced concern about the deaths of its citizens in US custody, with Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum also pushing back against the Trump administration’s decision to impose an energy blockade on Cuba. The progressive Mexican leader has walked a careful line with Trump for more than a year, addressing provocations with a measured tone and meeting US requests to crack down on cartels more so than her predecessors, in an effort to offset threats of tariffs and US military action against gangs.

Quantitative hedge fund Meridian & Saturn Capital said it won a $1 billion mandate to trade Chinese stocks, another sign investors are boosting allocations to the world’s second-largest economy. The Singapore-based firm will invest the money in a market-neutral strategy to trade onshore Chinese equities, Kate Zhang, founding partner and chief executive officer, said in an interview. Zhang declined to name the investor who allocated the money, citing a non-disclosure agreement, but said it was a sovereign wealth fund from the Middle East. The wealth fund will consider additional allocations if performance targets are met, Zhang said. Details of the arrangement couldn’t immediately be verified. Sovereign funds in the Middle East have been allocating more money to Chinese quants, though this mandate would count as one of the largest to date. The deal could herald an acceleration of flows into China assets as volatility in the region soars and artificial intelligence bolsters performance by Chinese managers. Globally, investors are looking to add money to China funds this year, recent surveys from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and BNP Paribas SA showed. MS Capital is now in talks with other Middle Eastern funds for potential investments, and plans to open offices in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and the US to tap the rising opportunities, said Zhang. The firm manages about $1.5 billion, including an initial $500 million from the Middle Eastern client. MS Capital’s deal came after more than a year of “highly-intense” due diligence work by the client, which was looking to diversify into Chinese assets and was keen on systematic solutions to improve returns on its existing portfolio, said Zhang. MS Capital is controlled by Jude Zhu, a University of Chicago MBA who also founded Shanghai-based quant firm Meridian Global Inc . in 2013, regulatory records show.

全球 AI 领域最具权势的领导者、一手开创了大语言模型时代的萨姆·奥尔特曼现在同时也是最被人们唾弃、质疑以及攻击的人。过去一年，OpenAI 不仅在模型性能及商业化层面不断被后来者赶超，现在就连创始人本身也成了问题——甚至是最严重的问题。 人们对他的不满已经威胁到人身安全。前几日，萨姆·奥尔特曼位于旧金山的住宅在 48 小时内接连遭遇两次人为袭击，一次燃烧瓶，一次枪击。所幸袭击均无人员伤亡。两起袭击的嫌疑人先后被当地警方逮捕，其中一人被捕时位于 OpenAI 总部附近，据称他扬言要烧毁 OpenAI。 首次袭击发生后，萨姆·奥尔特曼对外发布博客长文呼吁人们保持冷静。他罕见地分享了一张家人照片，他的伴侣和他的孩子，“Here is a photo of my family, I love them more than anything. ”他说，他相信照片是有力量的，希望它能阻止下一个朝他家里扔燃烧瓶的人。 Sam Altman 发布博客长文回应袭击事件 袭击发生前，萨姆·奥尔特曼已深陷新一轮的舆论风波。《纽约客》杂志刊发长文《Sam Altman May Control Our Future, Can He Be Trusted》，将他多年来的权力野心、控制欲与诚信争议重新推至台前。 文章作者 Ronan Farrow 对外称他与同事花了近一年半时间、采访了超百名受访者并获取了超 200 页的私密文件，试图搞清楚这位执掌着全球最大 AI 公司的创始人是否值得信任。 然而，多名文中受访者均指责萨姆·奥尔特曼撒谎成性，不止一人使用“反社会人格”这样的极端词汇形容萨姆·奥尔特曼，认为他拥有极强的权力野心且做事不顾后果。《纽约客》还专门制作了一个萨姆·奥尔特曼身上堆叠着多张表情各异面孔的动态封面，暗示他的多变面目。 《纽约客》杂志官网 除了《纽约客》杂志的那篇长文之外，外界还流传着各种与萨姆·奥尔特曼个人的负面指控，比如他的妹妹起诉他曾在幼年时性侵自己——但奥尔特曼是公开的同性恋者，《纽约客》也称没有任何证据证明奥尔特曼曾性骚扰未成年人。又或者一位 OpenAI 前员工自杀身亡，但因为该员工生前公开曾揭露 OpenAI 的违规行为，外界谣传他遭遇了谋杀。 半个世纪后，革命的火种或许终于播撒在了大洋彼岸。美利坚合众国的资产阶级们都联合起来，誓死揪出隐藏在人民群众中的两面派，打...

Techa Tungateja/iStock via Getty Images By Elior Manier The US dollar may have just seen its brightest days at the cost of a world-shaking US-Iran-Israel conflict. Having bullied through a gigantic rebound since February, the greenback had been invincible. Petrodollar trades and higher-for-longer US rates tend to largely support the global reserve currency. Add to it historic bearish positioning against it, and traders saw the perfect conditions to push the USD to 11-month highs. This was enough to question whether dedollarization was just a fantasy rather than a proper regime change in financial markets. Nevertheless, things changed in the past couple of weeks. President Trump, frustrated by developments such as lower stock markets, higher commodity prices, and a more expensive dollar - economic trends he publicly dislikes - found himself in a pessimistic mood right ahead of the November midterm elections. Hence, the Administration has been pushing aggressively for a truce, specifically because this aligns with the prolonged mid-April deadline for the conflict to end. While a proper peace deal hasn't yet been reached, diplomatic attempts are, for now, heading the right way, leading to a consequent tumble in the US dollar. Daily FX performance against the US dollar - courtesy of Finviz (April 14, 2026) You can see the direct result from today's FX performance. The US dollar lost around 2% of its value against a basket of major currencies and has begun to revert to its trajectory. Reaching a key support level, however, currency traders could be taking a break from their dollar sales. We will explore key levels right after taking a quick look at the Dollar Index chart. Dollar Index (DXY) 4H Chart. April 14, 2026 – Source: TradingView Stalling at the major 98.00 support, the US dollar could be seeing a short-term pause in its selling; hence, it is important not to get caught in the crosswinds of a potential reversal. However, this could provide opportunities to catch a...
