(Photo by Arun SANKAR / AFP) / -- IMAGE RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - STRICTLY NO COMMERCIAL USE -- (Photo by ARUN SANKAR/AFP via Getty Images) Arun Sankar | Afp | Getty Images Indian cricket is increasingly becoming hot property for investors looking to cash in on the booming business of the wildly popular sport in the subcontinent. In little over a month, the Indian Premier League, or IPL, has seen two of its franchises being sold to investors at billion-dollar-plus valuations, the latest being the Rajasthan Royals that was bought this Sunday, valued at $1.65 billion. A consortium of U.S. investors led by Kal Somani and backed by Rob Walton of Walmart Group was in the fray to acquire Rajasthan Royals, according to multiple media reports, but lost out to global steel magnate Laxmi Mittal and Indian vaccine tycoon Adar Poonawalla. Somani's group expressed disappointment at not being able to own the franchise, according to ESPN. "We were all motivated by the opportunity to help take the IPL to new international heights," the consortium reportedly said. In late March, a group comprising Blackstone and serial American sports investor David Blitzer acquired IPL's Royal Challengers Bengaluru, or RCB, franchise in a $1.8 billion deal. IPL is a fast‑paced, franchise‑based cricket league launched in 2008 that blends top international and Indian talent. Played each year over nearly two months, it features 10 teams, offering a mix of high‑intensity cricket, celebrity ownership, entertainment, and massive TV and streaming audiences. Promising returns A history of strong capital returns and potential to scale up the franchises backed by a fanbase of nearly a billion people is leading to heightened interest from global investors in the IPL, experts said. "IPL has become highly at...

Singapore-based firm Granite Asia has engaged the private banking arm of DBS Group Holding Ltd. to raise additional capital for its first private credit vehicle, people familiar with the matter said. Access to the fund, which reached its first close last year, is recently made available to wealthy investors via DBS Private Bank, the people said, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. It targets an internal rate of return of about 16% to 20% per year, with investor cash yields of about 8% to 10%, according to a document seen by Bloomberg News. Granite’s push follows a similar move by Singapore-based firm SeaTown Holdings International, a unit of sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings Pte., which raised around $180 million through DBS Private Bank for its third private credit fund. Clients must hold at least $5 million in assets to qualify for such an account at the financial institution, according to its website . Granite’s latest effort will serve as a fresh gauge of appetite among Asia’s wealthy investors for private credit — a $1.8 trillion asset class that has been shaken globally by high-profile defaults and heavy redemption requests in the US. While Asia has remained relatively insulated , concerns still rippled through the region earlier this year, prompting private bankers in Hong Kong and Singapore to reassure clients. The strategy is structured as a so-called closed-ended vehicle, meaning investments are illiquid, with no redemption rights and limited transferability during the fund’s term, according to the document. It also requires a long-term commitment with no certainty of return, the document added. DBS and Granite didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

FREDERICA ABAN/iStock via Getty Images Summary Despite the geopolitical headwinds, the backdrop for US growth equities and the US economy remains strong overall. Although we take the risk of prolonged disruption and stagflation seriously, our base case is that the Middle East conflict resolves within months and energy prices retreat. We maintain a quality bias in Calamos Growth Fund ( CGRIX ) and Calamos Select Fund ( CVAIX ) and have used the recent pullback to selectively add to positions where valuations have improved. Investment Manager Discussion Entering 2026, the equity backdrop was encouraging. Corporate earnings were expected to grow almost 10%, nominal GDP was positive and expected to accelerate, fiscal stimulus from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was working its way through the economy, and the Federal Reserve, which cut rates in December, was expected to lower rates further. Tariffs and trade policy remained a headwind, but markets were growing more confident that disruptions would be manageable. Equity valuations reflected that optimism, and growth opportunities were expected to broaden. As a result, the market continued to rotate from higher-priced growth sectors (which underperformed) and toward cyclical and small-capitalization stocks. Then the US and Israel attacked Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure, and the narrative quickly shifted.

The most important determinant for the European Central Bank ’s June policy meeting will be whether energy flows from the Middle East have resumed, according to outgoing Vice President Luis de Guindos . “The key factor will be the evolution of the conflict — whether Hormuz is reopened or not,” the Spanish official, who’ll leave before the ECB’s June 11 decision on interest rates, said Friday in Ma...
The most important determinant for the European Central Bank ’s June policy meeting will be whether energy flows from the Middle East have resumed, according to outgoing Vice President Luis de Guindos . “The key factor will be the evolution of the conflict — whether Hormuz is reopened or not,” the Spanish official, who’ll leave before the ECB’s June 11 decision on interest rates, said Friday in Madrid. “The level of uncertainty is brutal.” Markets and economists expect officials to raise the deposit rate to 2.25% from 2% next month as soaring energy costs push inflation further beyond the target. President Christine Lagarde has signaled that such a step will be considered. Read More: Schnabel Says ECB Will Need to Hike If Energy Shock Broadens

Alvarog1970/iStock Editorial via Getty Images At Mobile World Congress 2026, held March 2–5 in Barcelona, Spain, the conversation around non-terrestrial networks (NTN) reached a new level of maturity, shifting from future-gazing to near-term commercial strategy. The consensus across keynotes, panels and private discussions was that the industry has moved past proof-of-concept and is now entering the era of deployment. The industry tone is now pragmatic: operators, vendors, and satellite providers are focused on capacity limits, integration architectures and credible business models rather than marketing slogans. As Antonio Franchi, head of the space for 5G and 6G strategic program at the European Space Agency SA, stated in his keynote address, NTN is "no longer complementary, but... foundational" to the global network architecture. 'Go time' for commercialization The industry has reached an inflection point, with speakers consistently framing 2026 as "go time" for NTN services. This sentiment is backed by market data and operator announcements. According to GSMA Intelligence, as of December 2025, 118 mobile operators had established satellite service partnerships, with 33 of those services already live — an increase of five in the last quarter alone. This momentum is set to accelerate. Iridium Communications Inc. ( IRDM ) announced that its 3GPP standards-based NTN service will go live in the second half of 2026, with commercial customers and beta testers already being brought on board. The launch of a direct-to-device (D2D) service by KDDI Corp. ( KDDIY ) and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. in Japan in April 2025, which has attracted 3.5 million subscribers by August, shows strong early demand for the service, particularly in large markets with challenging geography. The central question at MWC was no longer if NTN would become a reality but how it would be deployed and monetized at scale. Performance and capacity Right now, D2D services remain effectively "3G...
