A former Asia quant research chief at Citadel Securities LLC has more than tripled assets at his China hedge fund in recent months, as the firm boosted fundraising after building up a strong track record. ZenX Quant ’s assets jumped to 14 billion yuan ($2 billion) as of April, from about 4 billion yuan of mostly institutional money as recently as November, according to roadshow documents seen by Bloomberg News. The Shenzhen-based firm led by Han Jiarui is raising money for products including its index-enhanced strategy tracking the CSI A500 Index , which has beaten the underlying benchmark each month since January 2025 through February, the data showed. The acceleration comes after a few years of more measured growth since Han, who left Citadel Securities in 2020, set up the firm in 2021 with a co-founder. ZenX entered into a distribution agreement with leading brokerage Citic Securities Co. in October, and registered 22 new products in the first quarter alone, exceeding the total of 18 for last year, according to the documents. ZenX declined to comment. Han joins the growing ranks of China’s top-league hedge funds as the 7.5 trillion yuan industry emerges from a downturn following tightened regulatory scrutiny . A stock market rally since last year has buoyed the sector. The number of managers running more than 10 billion yuan expanded by 18 this year to 131 as of April 21, according to data compiled by Shenzhen PaiPaiWang Investment & Management Co.

Happy Monday morning. Any hope of a steadier US-Iran ceasefire has taken another hit, with Donald Trump knocking back Tehran’s latest peace overture. Closer to home, healthcare giant CSL cut its full-year outlook, while One Nation is riding a fresh wave of momentum after its weekend by-election win. And in Canberra, Treasurer Jim Chalmers is setting the tone ahead of tomorrow’s budget, telling Bloomberg the current settings on housing and tax are “unfair and unacceptable” — Angus Whitley , Global Business reporter What’s happening now Australian biotech CSL Ltd. cut its full-year outlook and flagged about $5 billion in additional impairments, saying a turnaround will take longer than expected after a review by its interim chief executive. The firm now expects revenue of about $15.2 billion and net profit of about $3.1 billion for the year ending June 30, 2026. Far-right Australian party One Nation won its first lower house parliamentary seat with David Farley securing almost 60% of the vote in the seat of Farrer in Saturday’s by-election. In his victory speech, he criticized immigrants who “give us nothing” and vowed to target “damn net-zero programs.” Australia’s upcoming budget will take aim at soaring home prices and seek to make it easier for people to gain a foothold in the housing market, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said in an interview . The government is mulling changes to tax concessions — including negative gearing and capital gains tax — which have been widely viewed as favoring property investors, according to recent reports. Worries in the private credit market stem from retail-driven liquidity problems rather than the health of the underlining portfolio, Frank Kwok, chief financial officer at Macquarie Group Ltd., said in an interview . Concerns have bubbled in private credit markets this year, with investors spooked by the risk of technological disruptions and access to liquidity. Australia’s military is ready to deploy with its allies if needed in Asia or...

Gold fell as President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace offer to end the 10-week conflict choking the Strait of Hormuz, fanning inflation fears as weekend clashes in the Middle East threatened a fragile ceasefire. Bullion traded near $4,689 an ounce, after rising around 2% last week. Peace progress was derailed again after Trump labeled Iran’s latest response to his proposal to end the conflict as “totally unacceptable.” The setback may keep the inflation risk elevated as well as the expectation for higher interest rates, which weigh on non-yielding bullion. Read More: Trump Rejects New Iran Peace Offer as ‘Totally Unacceptable’ Weekend attacks in the Middle East also underscored the fragility of the ceasefire that began on April 8. A drone strike on Sunday briefly set a cargo vessel ablaze off Qatar in the Persian Gulf. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait also said they had intercepted hostile drones. Looking ahead, consumer price data due Tuesday is likely to affirm inflation remains a threat in the US, following March’s biggest monthly advance since 2022. Data released Friday showed that US employers added to payrolls for a second month in April, marking the first back-to-back advance in nearly a year, and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%. This offers the Federal Reserve space to keep interest rates unchanged for the foreseeable future as they focus on fresh inflationary risks from the war with Iran. Spot gold fell 0.6% to $4,689.29 an ounce as of 6:37 a.m. in Singapore. Silver was down 0.8% to $79.67. Platinum and palladium declined. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , a gauge of the US currency, was up 0.1%.
