Role as minority owner of Raiders causes problems Former QB says he is ‘very happily retired’ Tom Brady says he explored the idea of making a return to the NFL as a player but the league “don’t like that idea very much”. Brady’s last NFL game came in a defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in January 2023. Since then he has become a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders as well as a television analyst for Fo...
Role as minority owner of Raiders causes problems Former QB says he is ‘very happily retired’ Tom Brady says he explored the idea of making a return to the NFL as a player but the league “don’t like that idea very much”. Brady’s last NFL game came in a defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in January 2023. Since then he has become a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders as well as a television analyst for Fox. A spokesperson for the league said that Brady, who turns 49 in August, would need to divest his stake in the Raiders if he was to return to playing. Continue reading...
Turkey’s central bank sold and swapped about 60 tons of gold, worth more than $8 billion, in two weeks after the start of the war in Iran, adding to downward pressure on bullion prices.

Turkey’s central bank sold and swapped about 60 tons of gold, worth more than $8 billion, in two weeks after the start of the war in Iran, adding to downward pressure on bullion prices. Turkish gold reserves show a decline of 6 tons in the week of March 13 and another 52.4 tons in the week of March 20, marking a sharp drawdown in reserves, according to the latest data published by the central bank. Some of that was sold outright, while the majority was used to secure foreign exchange or liras via swap agreements, according to people familiar with the matter. Turkey’s central bank declined to comment. The move comes amid strains on Turkey’s disinflation strategy, which relies heavily on maintaining a stable or steadily depreciating lira, including with hard-currency interventions, usually via state-run banks. Rising energy import costs and increased dollar demand since the conflict began have made that approach more challenging to maintain. Officials have turned to gold sales and gold swap arrangements from the central bank’s $135 billion stockpile to meet liquidity needs and stabilize domestic demand, according to Iris Cibre, the founder of Phoenix Consultancy in Istanbul. She estimated total sales at 58.4 tons, with more than half of that conducted via gold-for-foreign-exchange swaps abroad. That amount exceeds total outflows from gold-backed exchange-traded funds tracked by Bloomberg, which were about 43 tons over the same two-week period. ETFs are one of the most popular ways for institutional and retail investors to get exposure to gold. Policy Shift Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that Turkey’s central bank had been discussing tapping its gold reserves via transactions in London as it seeks to shield the lira from steeper war-related losses. The report sent gold’s spot price on global markets swinging to a loss from an earlier gain.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In its annual general meeting on Thursday, Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) announced the appointment of Poul Weihrauch, CEO of U.S. chocolate maker Mars, as an observer to the weight-loss drugmaker’s board. The former Nestlé ( NSRGY ) ( NSRGF ) executive will become a board observer for the 2026/2027 term, as the company intends to nominate him for election as a board member at next year’s annual general meeting, Novo ( NVO ) said in a statement. Additionally, shareholders of the Danish drugmaker elected three new board members: Helena Saxon, a board member at Swedish fashion retailer H&M ( HNNMY ) ( HMRZF ), and pharma industry veterans Jan van de Winkel and Ramona Sequeira. Lars Rebien Sørensen, the chair of Novo Nordisk’s ( NVO ) majority shareholder, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, was reelected as the chair of the company's board. Before becoming the chair in July 2025, Sørensen, who served as NVO CEO from 2000 to 2016, became a board observer in May when former CEO Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen stepped down in light of the company’s recent market challenges.

Erik Isakson/DigitalVision via Getty Images Alphabet /Google ( GOOG / GOOGL ) just announced yesterday (March 25) three sets of new algorithms that target intensifying memory bottlenecks in AI compute. At the forefront is “TurboQuant”, which is designed to compress the increasing key value cache (“KV cache”) memory footprints inherent in high-volume inference – especially agentic AI workflows – without compromising on performance and accuracy. TurboQuant is enabled by the “Quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss” (“QJL”) and “PolarQuant” algorithmic components, which together form a software advancement that complements recent hardware designs aimed at addressing the memory bottleneck in the next phase of AI compute for high-volume inference at scale. Google’s latest algorithmic advancements targeting AI memory constraints represent a key validating catalyst for Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd’s ( CRDO ) product roadmap, particularly its three most recent offerings – namely, Active Led Cables (“ALCs”), ZeroFlap Optics (“ZF Optics”) and “ Weaver ” OmniConnect gearboxes. Given the rapid scale-out (i.e., cross-server and cross-rack connections) of increasingly large AI cluster deployments, as well as intensifying memory constraints in the next phase of AI compute, Google’s latest algorithmic developments further underscores the need for complementary hardware advancements. Specifically, the shift underscores growing demand for efficient memory connectivity, as well as higher-bandwidth networking and more reliable optical interconnect alternatives capable of overcoming imminent infrastructure bottlenecks. And Credo’s product roadmap is competitively positioned to address the emerging shift in infrastructure demand. This is expected to further reinforce the durability of Credo’s high growth and earnings accretive trajectory ahead of the secular transformation in AI infrastructure, which remains underappreciated at current levels.
