The growth momentum was expected to be supported by “a robust surge in token usage”,...

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Back in November of last year, I decided to downgrade shares of Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. ( BBBY ) from a ‘hold’ to a ‘sell.’ At the time, I pointed out deteriorating fundamentals for the business. The company had exhibited a sharp decline in active customers and revenue. Profitability looked challenged also. Although management was initiating certain cost-cutting initiatives, not to mention investments in AI and the blockchain, I do not believe that was enough to offset the weakness that the company exhibited. My call ended up proving to be spot-on. While the S&P 500 has risen 0.7% since then, shares of this interesting company have plunged 17.8%. This is even after factoring in a 10.8% surge in share price on April 8th after management announced an interesting acquisition. The fact of the matter is that there is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to Bed Bath & Beyond right now. On the positive side of things, we have a business that is investing heavily in opportunities that it believes will create significant shareholder value. On top of this, the company has a significant surplus of cash on its books. This makes it low risk in the near term. But on the other hand, core operations continue to worsen. And when you add on top of this continued cash outflows, it is certainly not a prospect for the faint of heart. To be honest with you, I really want to root for the company. Some of the investments it continues to make have the potential to pay off. But until such time that we can see some form of stabilization for the company, which we haven't seen just yet but are getting closer to, I believe that taking a bearish approach is justified. Of course, that picture could change as new data comes in. In fact, with earnings coming out on April 27th for the first quarter of the company's 2026 fiscal year, and with analysts expecting an improvement on both the top and bottom lines, there could be some potential here. But out of an ab...

Banepx/iStock via Getty Images By Benjamin Schroeder , Senior Rates Strategist Oil price spike pushes ECB out of its 'good place' The short ends of the interest rate curves have been the most impacted by the Iran conflict and the energy price spike, as fears of a 2022 repeat swept through the market. A rate-cutting bias has morphed into expectations of as many as three European Central Bank (ECB) rate hikes by the end of the year. While a ceasefire has calmed the situation, the ECB signalling a readiness to act on any signs of second-round effects taking hold keeps the possibility of a first rate hike as early as April still in play. We think that the additional information that the ECB will have at that point will be rather limited, arguing for a wait at least until June. If we follow our base case scenario, we think the ECB will continue to signal vigilance but will eventually manage to keep rates steady. But we also have to acknowledge that at this stage, ECB policymaking is more about managing expectations. For now, the picture presented by longer-term inflation swaps remains relatively benign. But this can still change as the crisis evolves. Uncertainty leaves its marks in money markets, but no signs of stress The overall uncertainty and risk aversion in the market have also left their mark on money markets. We have seen the 2y German Schatz start to outperform more noticeably versus swaps as the conflict escalated further. That is a classic sign of flight-to-quality, although there was also a directional component to it over the past month. There has been a shift to shorter maturities amid the uncertainty around the crisis and the ECB’s policy response. Signs of actual strains in money markets and the functioning of funding markets, however, remain limited. In repo markets, the overnight GC pooling rates had dipped back to the ECB deposit facility rate for the latter part of March, having previously sat around 1-2bp above. The quarter-end itself, however, appe...
