Rawf8/iStock via Getty Images A fragile cease-fire The Iran war is at the critical stage—it must end immediately with the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Any other resolution to the current situation is likely to have serious consequences for the financial markets. It appears that a fragile 2-week ceasefire has been agreed upon by both sides. However, as long as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, even partially, inflation is likely to increase—and this could burst all financial bubbles and cause a major financial crisis. The sustained spike in the price of oil ( CL1:COM ) could be the "first domino to fall": and thus it's a major systemic variable. Based on the most recent information, President Trump is likely to postpone escalation of the war for another two weeks—conditional on Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz. It's very unlikely this is the end of the war, and it's likely a fragile short-term cease-fire. Crude oil fell on this announcement, but it initially held above $100, which is still inflationary if it stays around these levels for an extended period of time. Regime change to inflationary shock So, what's at stake on a macro level? Basically, the Iran war is causing a regime change from a bullish framework of policy normalization and cyclical expansion to a bearish framework of stagflation, with policy tightening into a slowing economy. Below is the chart of the December Federal funds futures contract. Before the Iran war started, the market was fully pricing two Fed cuts in 2026, with a small probability of a third cut, a 3-3.1% range on the implied Federal Funds rate. After the Iran war started, the market priced on March 22nd a 3.9% Federal Funds rate in December; that's a full hike, with a small probability of a second hike. Currently, the market is pricing in a no-change in the federal funds rate in 2026, while daily variations based on the headlines are torn between pricing in either a cut or a hike. What does this mean? The market is curre...

narvo vexar/iStock via Getty Images The hedge fund industry consists of a wide variety of strategies that attract varying levels of investor interest over time. Factors such as capital market valuations, economic growth expectations, inflation rates, market liquidity, and risk tolerance significantly influence the demand for each strategy. Industry professionals spend a great deal of time analyzing these variables in order to identify which strategies are expected to offer the best opportunities for outperformance. One way to measure this is to survey investors regarding their current interests. In this paper, we compare and analyze data submitted by investors from our June 2025 cap intro event with data recently compiled from the first 300 investors registered to attend our upcoming Gaining the Edge Global Virtual Cap Intro event taking place from June 15th to 26th. During registration, investors complete a detailed survey outlining their preferences regarding strategy types and managers that are of current interest. This provides broad insights into both overall demand for each strategy as well as trends in demand between years. Presented below is a comparative analysis of our survey findings, accompanied by commentary derived from feedback received from thousands of investors globally. Strategies with Strong and Increasing Demand Long/Short Equity captured the interest of 68% of 2026 respondents, which is the largest share among all strategies. This uptick from last year (63%) indicates the continued positive investor sentiment regarding fund managers’ abilities to generate alpha via stock selection. It may also be attributed to strong equity performance propelled largely by a small number of mega-cap growth stocks. This rally has created wide valuation disparities between growth and value stocks along with large- and small-/mid-cap stocks. Many investors believe both are great environments for active managers. We expect increased demand for funds focused on valu...

At roughly the same time, I found myself testing two awesome new kinds of AA battery that recharge using USB-C cables. It gave me an idea. Could we find the very best USB-C AA batteries by combining my own anecdotal testing with Lumafield's scanning tech ? The answer seems to be yes! Knowing what I now know, the Zepath 3600mWh is the only rechargeable lithium-ion AA I'd buy for myself - even though USB-C is in the charger, rather than each individual cell.
