da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images Prediction markets platform Polymarket ( POLYMARKET ) is talking to investors about raising $400M in funding at a valuation of about $15B including the new money, The Information reported on Sunday. The report on new funding comes after a $600M investment from New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange ( ICE ) announced last month. The funding was part of the exchange operator's previously announced plan to invest up to $2B in Polymarket to expand into the fast-growing event-based trading segment. According to The Information report, the new financing would add to the $600M already invested in the funding round by Intercontinental Exchange. Polymarket is looking to add additional strategic investors beyond Intercontinental Exchange to the round, which could total $1B, the report said. Investors are increasingly eyeing expansion into event-driven trading as prediction markets evolve from a niche within crypto and academic finance into a fast-growing sector, marked by rising trading volumes and user engagement. Earlier reports noted that Kalshi ( KALSHI ) and Polymarket together spent nearly $1M on federal lobbying in 2025, with Polymarket also drawing attention by hosting a pop-up bar in Washington.

Max Zolotukhin/iStock via Getty Images Highlights Gold prices partially recovered in April 1 following the sharp March decline, while import curbs and supply bottlenecks narrowed domestic discounts Listed jewellers posted strong y/y growth in Q1 2026, driven by wedding as well as discretionary spends, higher ticket sizes, and ongoing expansion Redemptions dampened gold ETF inflows, but holdings and investor participation continued to rise Digital gold purchases remained firm, well above recent averages Reserve Bank of India’s gold reserve holdings remained steady amid a decline in total forex reserves Imports hit 9-month low in March. Looking ahead Demand is expected to be supported by the summer wedding season and key buying occasions such as Akshaya Tritiya 2 and regional festivals, with price stability driving buying interest. Partial price recovery following sharp March decline Gold prices declined sharply in March in both US dollar and INR terms, marking the weakest monthly performance in nearly 13 and 12 years, respectively. Prices fell by 12% in USD and 8% in INR terms, with the relatively lower decline in domestic prices linked to the depreciation in the INR (by 4%). The price decline was driven by momentum factors – outflows from global gold ETFs and an unwind of COMEX net long positions, alongside higher opportunity costs due to a stronger US dollar and higher bond yields . As of 13 April, prices had partially recovered and stabilised, although remained more than 13% below the January peak (Chart 1). 3 The rebound has been supported by the persistent geopolitical risk premium, a softer US dollar and a pickup in inflows into global ETFs. On a y-t-d basis, gold prices remain elevated, up 8% at US$4,722/oz and 13% at INR 149,494/10g. 4 Domestic gold prices, which had been trading at a sustained discount to international prices since mid-February, saw discounts widen further in March – from an average of US$15/oz to US$46/oz. Discounts have since narrowed sign...

The director liked to create tension on-set to draw out stronger performances. But have stories about his psychological tricks been inflated in the retelling? In 1978, shortly after publishing The Art of Alfred Hitchcock, biographer Donald Spoto met the director one last time. At one point, Hitchcock appeared to fall asleep mid-conversation, signalling the end of his involvement with the author. On another occasion, Spoto recalled being bitten by Hitchcock’s West Highland terrier, Sarah, leaving a bruise on his hand. When Hitchcock admonished the dog, Spoto noted it was the first time in four years the director had addressed him by name. These accounts have surfaced in an unearthed transcript of a previously forgotten interview between Spoto and the actor Tippi Hedren in 1980, six months after Hitchcock’s death. But they also suggest something else: an uneasy relationship from the outset, shaped by misreading, distrust and a degree of personal grievance. Continue reading...
