Hong Kong authorities conducted a joint operation this week targeting alleged insider dealing and corruption, with the investigation including two securities firms and a hedge fund management firm. The operation, codenamed “Fuse,” took place on March 10 and 11, the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Securities and Futures Commission said in a statement . Authorities searched 14 locations, including the offices of the firms, as well as residences of the arrestees. It arrested six men and two women, including senior executives of the securities firms and the hedge fund firm, as well as a middleman. The regulators suspect that senior banking executives accepted bribes of more than HK$4 million from the hedge fund firm “for disclosing confidential information regarding share placements of various Hong Kong-listed companies before such information was publicly announced.” They said the hedge fund made profits of around HK$315 million from short positions in the shares. Local offices of Citic Securities Co. and Guotai Junan International Holdings Ltd. were raided earlier this week , according to people familiar with the matter. Infini Capital Management Ltd., an investment firm founded by Tony Chin , was also caught up in the sweep.

Shares of Indian food delivery firms dropped as restaurants warned of disruptions to operations after the Middle East conflict triggered a cooking-gas crunch . Eternal Ltd. fell as much as 4.8%, while Swiggy Ltd. declined by a similar measure to a record low. Shares of fast food operators, including Jubilant Foodworks Ltd. , also retreated. Food delivery companies are facing the prospects of slower orders as local restaurants consider shorter operating hours and reducing items on their menus to cope with an acute gas shortage in India. The South Asian nation sources most of its gas supply from the Middle East. “Reduced menus, limited cooking hours or temporarily shut kitchens at some restaurants may limit order availability on platforms, leading to temporary moderation in fourth-quarter food delivery order volumes,” Motilal Oswal analysts including Abhishek Pathak wrote in a note. Meanwhile, fears of an extended cooking-gas shortage has fueled panic buying in India, boosting shares of electric cook-top manufacturers. TTK Prestige Ltd. jumped as much as 15% on Thursday, bringing its three-day gains to nearly 30%, while Stove Kraft Ltd. advanced as much as 12%. India raised prices for its most widely used cooking gas for the first time in almost a year on Saturday, increasing rates by 7% to 913 rupees ($9.9) for 14.2 kilograms cylinder used by most middle-class households. Rates for commercial consumers such as restaurants and hotels, typically revised at the start of each month, were raised for a second time in March on Saturday.

Rawpixel Ltd/iStock via Getty Images Market review Despite significant bouts of volatility, global markets generally finished 4Q25 with positive returns. Expensive valuations and tight spreads amplified instances of underperformance and macro weakness. Those headwinds were offset, however, by nimble corporate actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs and by governments easing fiscal and monetary policy. In October, markets continued to ride 3Q momentum, generated by strong earnings and improved US-China trade relations. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) cut rates and announced an end to quantitative tightening. Global fixed income and equities rallied in unison. By the end of October, headwinds picked up that would remain for the rest of the year. First, the growing “circular” nature of artificial intelligence (AI) investment sparked hesitation across global equity markets. Second, budget disputes and plans for growing deficits inspired rate volatility, weighing on global fixed income markets. Finally, the US government shutdown restricted data availability, dividing the Fed and further adding to cross-asset volatility. Global markets reversed course in November and risk assets suffered, including emerging markets, Bitcoin, and global technology stocks. Continued weakness in Chinese economic data also weighed on emerging market returns, despite growing AI advances. Later in the month, higher-quality areas of developed market equities and global fixed income recovered with mild gains and renewed hope for further US monetary easing. Although equity markets outside the US had been strong all year, benefiting from the relative weakness of the dollar, US equities outperformed early in 4Q. In December, however, the dollar retreated, enabling European and emerging markets to post strong performance, once again outperforming US equities. December rate cuts implemented by both the Fed and Bank of England were met with rising global bond yields, in part due to rising rates in Japa...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images By Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist; Christian Floro, CFA, CMT, Market Strategist; and Magdalena Ocampo, Market Strategist Consumer price inflation in February came in as expected, with the annual headline rate remaining steady at 2.4%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 2.5% on an annual basis, unchanged from last month’s reading. The underlying dynamics are consistent with recent periods: services inflation is sticky but not worsening, and goods inflation is mostly contained. Nevertheless, while Wednesday’s report is reassuring, the market’s focus has already shifted. The surge in energy prices brought on by the Iranian conflict suggests spillover risks to broader inflation in the months ahead, particularly if the conflict drags on. Report details Headline inflation rose 0.2% from the prior month, as expected, keeping the annual rate steady at 2.4%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2%, also as expected, keeping the annual rate steady at 2.5%. Overall, the lack of an upward surprise in the February inflation report offers some reassurance that underlying inflation pressures have been trending in the right direction. Yet, amidst the Iran conflict, which is pushing energy prices higher, this report is already dated. The highly volatile energy category increased 0.6% in the month, driven by a notable rise in fuel oil amid the lingering effects of cold weather that blanketed much of the East Coast. Also, note that this is before the more recent sharp rise in oil prices. Meanwhile, food prices rebounded, with three of the six major grocery store food group indices increasing in February. While fruits & vegetables saw price increases, declines in meats, dairy, and cereals & bakery products blurred the potential impact from lingering tariff pass-through. Goods categories were only slightly higher during the month. Tariff-sensitive items continued to show upward price pressures, with apparel,...

Elena Uve/iStock via Getty Images Compared to the start of 2025, our market outlook has shifted toward a more diversified and globally balanced opportunity set. - PanAgora Asset Management Market in Review The fourth quarter of 2025 was shaped by several key macro-level developments that materially influenced markets. Most notably, global equity leadership shifted further toward non-U.S. markets. Japan's TOPIX outperformed, and both the MSCI World ex-U.S. and emerging markets exceeded U.S. equity returns, reinforcing a rotation away from U.S. dominance that was supported by a weaker dollar. This marked a meaningful change in the global market landscape after years of U.S. outperformance. Monetary policy remained a central driver. Following its initial rate cut in September, the U.S. Federal Reserve continued easing during the quarter, supporting risk assets and driving strong fixed-income returns. The conclusion of the U.S. government shutdown in November restored economic data flow, allowing investors to refocus on inflation, growth, and labor indicators. Incoming data showed continued economic expansion alongside moderating inflation, easing concerns about recession or a policy-induced slowdown. Artificial intelligence remained a defining theme in U.S. markets but with increasing differentiation. Large technology firms continued to demonstrate earnings strength and cash-flow generation, validating AI-related capital spending. At the same time, the market became less tolerant of execution missteps or undisciplined spending, reinforcing a shift toward fundamentals-driven leadership rather than speculative momentum. Outside equities, fixed income benefited from policy easing and strong risk appetite, while credit markets remained resilient despite modestly rising default rates. Commodities were mixed, with precious metals benefiting from macro uncertainty and oil weakening on fundamentals. Overall, the fourth quarter reflected a continued compression of risk premia a...
