Dazman/E+ via Getty Images The Baltic Dry Index rallied for a ninth straight session Thursday to the highest since early December, up 5.5% to 2,484, driven by a surge in demand and tightening vessel supply, particularly in Capesize ships , the segment most exposed to iron ore. The Capesize index based on vessels of 182K dwt tons also advanced for a ninth consecutive day, soaring ~8% to its highest since mid-December at 3,964, and the Panamax index based on ships that typically carry 60K-70K tons of coal or grain rose for a tenth straight day to a three-week high of 1,948. Iron ore prices rose by more than 2%, likely boosted by China's resilient economic growth in Q1, as the country's economy grew by a faster-than-expected 5% Y/Y, accelerating from the 4.5% gain in the prior quarter. Meanwhile, higher diesel prices due to the Middle East conflict raise production and transportation costs, boosting iron ore prices, Galaxy Futures said in a note. "Unless the U.S.-Iran conflict escalates to extremes, it is unlikely to reverse the pricing logic of a loose supply and demand situation," Galaxy Futures.

Anthropic PBC ’s new artificial intelligence model Mythos could put traders and the broader financial system at risk through a Securities and Exchange Commission database, the American Securities Association said Thursday. The financial-industry trade group warned of the potential for bad actors to target the so-called Consolidated Audit Trail with AI tools and conduct mass identity theft, expose individuals’ trading portfolios and amplify insider threats. The group has long been a foe of the controversial market-tracking database. “The CAT was not designed to withstand the threat environment that Anthropic’s Mythos has now made real,” ASA President Chris Iacovella wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent , who also serves as chairman of the Financial Stability Oversight Council . The ASA asked Bessent to immediately suspend collection of retail traders’ personal identity information in the database. The group also called to destroy personal trading data the CAT has collected, which the SEC has used in the past to conduct market surveillance and investigations into suspicious trades. A spokesperson for the Treasury Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell met with the heads of Wall Street’s top banks to discuss Mythos’ capabilities and potential impact, Bloomberg reported last week. The ASA said that meeting shows the CAT “is a significant cybersecurity vulnerability waiting to be exploited.” Read More: Bessent Urgently Summons Bank CEOs to Discuss Anthropic’s New AI The ASA and Citadel Securities won a lawsuit last year challenging the CAT’s funding structure, which had required exchanges to pay to support it. The SEC has since moved to reduce the operating costs of the CAT and the White House recently completed a review of an agency measure to consider overhauling the scope of data collected.

Flywire ( FLYW ) was trading higher as BTIG raised its recommendation on the stock to Buy from Neutral, citing an attractive risk/reward. Shares were 3.31% higher at $13.41 after the market opened on Thursday. The price target was set at $17.00. "Our upgrade is focused on three main points: 1) durable and diversified growth that is not appreciated by the market, 2) upside to FY26 estimates, and 3) multiple expansion as bear narratives quiet in the coming year," said analyst Andrew Harte. Harte said the ratings action follows mounting evidence that FLYW can execute amidst a choppy macro backdrop. "The company has significantly diversified its business mix while core education has been more resilient than we expected; for example, U.S. education revenue grew 5% in FY25 despite F-1 visas being down ~20%," noted Harte. "In terms of FY26 guidance, we think it has been set at a conservative level. We break down FY26E revenue across ten components on page 4 and raise our FXN growth estimate to 19.6% (from 17.0%), near the high-end of guidance and above Street (18.9%)," said the analyst. "Finally, FLYW's valuation multiple has been pressured from regulatory/macro, AI, and stablecoin concerns. As mentioned above, growth is proving more durable than expected (~16% organic in FY25), and on the AI/stablecoin front, we think concerns are overdone; we expect FLYW to see multiple support as AI/stablecoin concerns dissipate going forward," added the research note. BTIG's rating aligns with the sell-side analysts and Seeking Alpha authors rating of Buy. SA's Quant Rating system grades the stock as Hold.

The poet reconnects with the landscape of the May Day Mountains in Jamaica where he grew up in a personal story of migration, race and rural life An award-winning poet living in Roundhay Park, Leeds, Jason Allen-Paisant spent his early childhood living with his grandmother in Coffee Grove, a hilly rural district of Jamaica which was cut off from basic amenities such as electricity and water. Seen through the eyes of a child, Coffee Grove was, he notes, “both a tiny place and a huge planet”. There he developed a close relationship with the local plant life through climbing trees, picking fruit and helping his grandmother harvest yams on the “grung”, the local name for their small plot of land. Allen-Paisant later yearned for pastures new, moving first to Paris and then to Britain to study at Oxford. His dream of upward mobility had become a reality, yet in the UK he noticed his interactions with nature were few and far between. He came to realise “just how much class keeps people in Britain from the privileges of land and soil and also keeps them from the tenderness that comes with forming kinship with the earth”.
