Markets have swung from extreme pessimism to excessive optimism in one of the quickest rebounds to new highs on record, according to Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife John Hancock Investment Management. Roland warned that valuations are once again extended, and investors should be cautious about the current momentum-driven environment. “It looks like all you need to do is really add the word ‘AI’ to your name in order to see stock price gains here,” she said, noting that lower-quality stocks are being rewarded in this climate. Roland shared these observations during a recent interview with CNBC, invoking the old adage that “the stock market is not the economy.” She pointed to weakening economic indicators, including declining readings on the Citi Economic Surprise Index in both the U.S. and Eurozone, contrasting sharply with booming market returns. The U.S. remains “the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry” with a PMI reading of 52, while the Eurozone’s composite PMI came in at a contractionary 48.6. Despite the broader economic softness, the U.S. is experiencing what Roland described as a “sugar rush” from several fiscal tailwinds. Increased capital expenditure spending from major legislation, tax refunds totaling $26B so far this year, and new tariff refunds are all providing temporary support. However, she emphasized that economic data is broadly weakening beneath these surface-level boosts. Roland highlighted an unusual dynamic between U.S. and European markets, noting that U.S. earnings growth is approaching 30% compared to just 9% overseas, yet European stocks are outperforming. “It’s almost like we need to earn every bit of appreciation from investors, and European stocks ( VGK ), ( EZU ), ( BBEU ), ( IEUR ) are getting a participation prize right now,” she said, suggesting this creates an opportunity to trim overseas holdings and redeploy capital into the U.S. John Hancock remains overweight in U.S. technology stocks ( VGT ), ( XLK ), (...
Switzerland’s top financial regulator said giving banks quick and easy access to Anthropic PBC ’s artificial intelligence tool Mythos would create a severe risk for the country’s financial system. “The uncontrolled and immediate availability of AI models such as Mythos would be classified as a systemic risk,” a spokesperson for Finma said in response to questions from Bloomberg News. “In such a sc...
Switzerland’s top financial regulator said giving banks quick and easy access to Anthropic PBC ’s artificial intelligence tool Mythos would create a severe risk for the country’s financial system. “The uncontrolled and immediate availability of AI models such as Mythos would be classified as a systemic risk,” a spokesperson for Finma said in response to questions from Bloomberg News. “In such a scenario, virtually all existing software systems could simultaneously be affected by a multitude of previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities, which would be exploited immediately and via AI.” Anthropic has said that Mythos is too powerful to release to the general public, which it has described as so good at finding vulnerabilities in software that it will only be released to a limited number of carefully chosen parties. If tools like Mythos fall into the wrong hands, it could provide attackers with a powerful new weapon to steal data or disrupt critical infrastructure, the firm has said. Read More: Why Anthropic’s Mythos Is Sparking Global Alarm: Explainer Regulators, central bankers and corporate executives have been seeking to gain more insight on the technology. There are concerns that financial systems outside the US including Europe are at a disadvantage because they have limited access. The European Central Bank was planning to convene a call later in the week to discuss the potential threats from Mythos with the chief risk officers of eurozone lenders, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday last week. “We must prevent the misuse of this technology,” Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said on Tuesday. “At the same time, all relevant institutions should have access to such technology to avoid competitive distortions.” Commerzbank AG is “examining the Mythos model very closely and assessing the associated risks,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “To this end, we are also in close contact with other banks, technology partners and regulatory authorities.” Well Prepared...

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks during a news conference following a meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee at the Federal Reserve on Oct. 29, 2025 in Washington, DC. Alex Wong | Getty Images The Department of Justice on Friday dropped its criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, removing a major hurdle to President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to replace him. Jeanine Pirro , the top federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia, announced the decision to abandon the Powell probe on X. Pirro had said on Wednesday that she was committed to continuing the probe, which had been crippled by a federal judge's ruling quashing subpoenas her office issued to the Federal Reserve related to a multi-billion-dollar renovation of its headquarters in Washington. Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, had put an effective hold on the Senate confirming Warsh unless the criminal investigation of Powell was dropped. Pirro said Friday that the Fed's inspector general, an internal watchdog, had been asked to investigate cost overruns in the headquarters project, which had been the purported basis for her criminal probe of Powell. "The IG has the authority to hold the Federal Reserve accountable to American taxpayers," Pirro said in her post. "I expect a comprehensive report in short order and am confident the outcome will assist in resolving, once and for all, the questions that led this office to issue subpoenas," she said. "Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry," Pirro said. "Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so." This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice on Friday said that it’s backing down in a standoff over the leadership of the Federal Reserve, and that announcement is expected to pave the way for Trump’s nominee for Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, to take over for current Fed Chair Jerome Powell as Powell’s term for that role ends May 15.

For so long an integral part of the BBC Holy Trinity of Saturday programming alongside Final Score and Match of the Day, Football Focus will leave our screens come season’s end . First aired back when the plot currently occupied by Stamford Bridge’s Matthew Harding Stand served as a matchday car park – as opposed to a seething mass of disgruntled Chelsea fans – the show’s longevity is undeniable. Now, it has fallen victim to the BBC’s ongoing pruning exercise – a casualty of a budget that is overseeing more trims than Marc Cucurella’s blabbermouth barber. For Football Daily, the news was somewhat bittersweet; throughout our childhood, youth and a significant chunk of our years as a hungover grown-up, the Saturday lunchtime show was appointment viewing. However, the announcement regarding its imminent demise only came as a surprise because it’s no longer part of our weekend routine and we presumed it had been binned off already. Continue reading...

Getting More Anxious By Bas van Geffen, Senior Macro Strategist at Rabobank We have another potentially eventful weekend ahead of us. A three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon may ease tensions between the US and Iran somewhat, as Trump wants to avoid that this conflict undermines peace talks with Iran. However, there are still no indications that a new round of talks will be held, as both sides continue to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has continued to shoot at commercial ships that tried to navigate the strait, and US President Trump posted that he had “ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat […] that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” after the IRGC reported that the Iranian navy has laid more mines in the strait. So, President Trump may have extended the ceasefire earlier this week, but it remains a relative one. A tanker laden with Iranian oil is reportedly attempting to cross the strait today, perhaps testing the US’ resolve. That’s bound to add to tensions between both sides. If talks do not happen soon, either side may revert to escalation . Recall that Axios reported earlier this week that the US maintains an unofficial three-to-five-day deadline for Iran to end its internal power struggle and get back to the table. If true, that deadline could expire on Sunday. Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Speaker of the Parliament Ghalibaf has resigned from the negotiating team due to these internal rifts, but Iranian reporters are contradicting these accounts. It seems that the lack of talks is gradually starting to weigh on energy markets. Oil prices have crept higher over the week, with a barrel of Brent now trading around $106 in the futures market . Still, we remain surprised at the relative tranquillity in the energy space. As our energy strategists underscored in their latest note , “futures markets are still materially underpricing the real supply risk facing both crude oil and natural gas...

mesh cube/iStock via Getty Images There is a question that's been stuck in my mind since Kevin Warsh was nominated as the next Fed Chair by Trump earlier in January: isn't the market too confident that the Fed has no room to move on monetary policy? In fact, that question came up many more times as the conflict in the Middle East began, and we are now nearing the April FOMC meeting. Look, despite being bullish (a stance that I consider contrarian, as I discuss in this piece), I get the concerns. Headline inflation printed a very ugly number in March, oil has spiked, consumer sentiment looks dreadful, and rate cut expectations have been pushed further out. On top of that, there are no signs of the end of the war in the Middle East, even though the market has already priced that in. However, my view largely differs from the prevailing mood. In fact, I argue that we may see as many as three rate cuts this year, as the data (when looking beyond the war noise) justifies rate cuts as soon as the June FOMC meeting. I am fully aware that my view (and therefore, my positioning, as I remain fully invested) carries risk, especially after Warsh denied a political bias from Trump to cut interest rates. If the war doesn't come to an end in the next few months and Hormuz remains closed, I may have to reassess my view on rate cuts. March SEP Embedded Easing This Year Let’s first separate the noise from the signal. The March Summary of Economic Projections placed the 2026 median federal funds rate at 3.4%. In other words, they expect one rate cut this year. As a quick side note, bear in mind that the March SEP was released on March 18, right in the midst of the Middle East conflict, with Brent trading at $107 that day. March SEP In fact, the FED members are expecting further rate cuts next year, with the median federal fund rate projected at 3.1% by the end of 2027. Let me go back to the Brent oil spike for a moment. Higher oil prices are indeed inflationary. Just take a look at how...
