adventtr The Middle East war has pulled the gold-crude ratio sharply lower this month, and in order to understand the slump, it is useful to look back at 2020, when the ratio surged to record highs during the pandemic. That episode highlighted how strongly the ratio responds to large, asymmetric shocks in either demand or supply, Saxo Bank said in a note on Tuesday. In 2020, the global economy experienced a severe demand shock. Energy consumption collapsed, sending crude prices sharply lower, while gold rallied as central banks cut rates aggressively and injected liquidity to stabilise growth. The ratio moved higher because oil weakened at the same time as gold strengthened. "The current environment is effectively the mirror image," Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank said, adding that what "we are dealing with today is primarily a supply shock in energy markets, centered on the Middle East and disruptions to key export flows. This has driven a sharp increase in crude prices as physical markets tighten, particularly in refined products." Meanwhile, gold, which up until recently enjoyed a record run of gains, has come under pressure—not necessarily because its longer-term drivers have disappeared, but due to a shift in the macro backdrop, Hansen noted. Gold vs oil prices since Middle East conflict (Seeking Alpha) Higher energy prices are feeding into inflation expectations, which in turn are pushing bond yields higher and forcing markets to reassess the timing and extent of rate cuts. This tightening in financial conditions reduces the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold in the short term. In addition, there is a clear liquidity component . "Following a prolonged rally, gold had become a crowded long. In periods of cross-asset stress, gold is often sold not because it is fundamentally weak, but because it is one of the most liquid assets investors can tap to meet margin calls or rebalance portfolios. This dynamic appears to have played an impor...

M-Production/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Thesis This would be my first time covering Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. ( ZGN ). It's an iconic Italian luxury fashion company that focuses on high-end clothing and accessories, designing, producing, and selling products under brands such as ZEGNA, Thom Browne, and Tom Ford Fashion through retail stores and online channels around the world. Seeking Alpha After almost a 2-year performance slump, the stock seems to be coming back to life, with one-year momentum almost triple that of the broader market (S&P 500). Seeking Alpha Regardless, after going over its latest results, I'm leaning neutral on the shares because the company's still balancing meaningful brand investment with cost pressures and uneven demand, making the near-term outlook a lot harder to confidently assess. My Take on Ermenegildo Zegna's FY2025 Earnings DTC share of branded revenues : 82% DTC share prior year: 78%. What management seems to be doing is cleaning up the business mix. They are focusing more on selling their products directly to customers through their own stores and their own websites. At the same time, they are reducing how much they sell through wholesale partners that they believe are lower quality. This change is happening especially at Thom Browne . That’s usually a good thing in luxury. When you sell through your own channel, you keep more of the margin, and you control the brand better. So yes, that helped gross margin. Gross Margin: 67.5% Gross Margin Change: +90 bps YoY. But once you go more direct, you also take on more fixed costs. More stores, more staff, more systems, more infrastructure. If the sales volume doesn’t grow quickly enough, the advantage from having a better sales mix gets partly offset by the company’s cost base. In other words, the fixed and operating costs end up absorbing some of the benefit created by selling a more profitable mix of products. Because of that, I wouldn’t simply conclude that everything is good just b...

Netflix Inc. ’s BTS comeback show drew 18.4 million viewers globally, underscoring the demand for real-time events anchored by top-tier talent. The 60-minute program , BTS The Comeback Live|ARIRANG , staged at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul on Saturday evening, was the K-pop group’s first full performance since late 2022. The live broadcast was the No. 1 show in 24 countries, Netflix said in a statement Tuesday. The boy band is gearing up for a world tour after a nearly four-year hiatus as its members fulfilled mandatory military service. The heavily-promoted concert drew a smaller live crowd than initially expected, possibly due to stringent crowd control measures. Read BTS Interview: BTS Discuss Return With New Album ‘Arirang,’ Largest-Ever Tour Netflix’s evolving strategy aims to use live programming to differentiate itself in a competitive streaming market. The company has been investing in infrastructure and production capabilities to support such events in Asia. The effort has delivered increasingly large audiences for Netflix. Its live stream of Alex Honnold’s climb of the Taipei 101 skyscraper drew about 6.2 million viewers in January, while its exclusive streaming of the World Baseball Classic earlier this month targeted a broader audience in Japan. In 2024, the live stream of the NFL Ravens–Texans game peaked at more than 27 million US viewers, according to ratings from Nielsen, with Beyoncé performing at the half-time show. The platform’s biggest success to date remains the 2024 boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which Netflix said reached about 65 million viewers globally. For BTS, the live stream is the centerpiece of a broader comeback rollout that includes a new album, Arirang , a Netflix documentary and a stadium tour projected to generate $1 billion to $2 billion in sales, depending on fan spending on merchandise and paid live-concert streaming on the Weverse platform run by Hybe Co. , the band’s agency.

Jacob Wackerhausen/iStock via Getty Images By Daniel Loewy, CFA, Karen Watkin, CFA and Fahd Malik An effective multi‑asset income strategy should tap non-traditional sources besides stocks and bonds. The multi-asset playing field presents income investors with broad opportunities across asset classes . But investors that rely only on traditional stock dividends and bond interest may be missing out on other attractive income sources. Why Look Beyond Traditional Stocks and Bonds? The tried-and-true multi-asset income approach of broad exposure to stocks and bonds worked for decades—and still does for some investors. But we believe expanding into a more diverse mix of high-quality income sources may create a more resilient combination of income and growth potential. A strategy tapping income from just two assets, in our view, could be highly vulnerable if one or both struggle. This could limit the ability to capture attractive income consistently. Casting a wider net may capture more yield while reducing the chances that everything declines at once. Embrace Multi-Sector and Alternative Income Streams The world of income investing has expanded over the years. Corporate high-yield bonds, for example, are no longer a US-only proposition—today, they’re only half the global supply. Investing in a global mix taps into different economic cycles; when one region is slowing, another may be growing. Investors can pivot accordingly. Beyond corporate credit, we see benefits to accessing a broad range of building blocks dynamically as market conditions evolve: Emerging-market (EM) corporate bonds Securitized debt, such as asset-backed securities Property such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) Bank loans, including floating rate Variance risk premium, or option selling Preferred stocks and convertible bonds Many of these investments have historically contributed higher yields than most government or corporate bonds. They also behave differently—not just from traditional asset...

The dollar’s rally since the start of the war in Iran could slow if currency and rates markets shift focus from the inflationary consequences of the conflict to growth concerns, according to foreign exchange strategists at Goldman Sachs. “While the market has largely priced the oil shock as an inflation and terms-of-trade event, a shift towards larger downside growth risks would likely temper broad dollar appreciation” against G-10 currencies, Goldman’s Isabella Rosenberg wrote in a note on Tuesday. The Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, as safe havens, would gain the most against the dollar in a scenario where growth concerns result in equity-led tightening, said the analysts. A focus on growth risks would also result in a “significantly worsening outlook” for emerging market currencies, according to the Rosenberg’s note. Though Goldman still sees the dollar gaining against G-10 currencies in such an environment, the greenback would likely fail to maintain the pace of its surge in March. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , which measures the currency against a basket of peers, has rallied 1.7% since the conflict started on Feb. 28, rising alongside Treasury yields and elevated energy prices. The war sent the price of global benchmark Brent crude oil soaring past $100 per barrel, spurring investor and policymaker concern about increasing inflationary pressures. US Treasuries experienced a broad selloff in March as the market wiped out gains since the start of the year. The Goldman strategists said a prolonged war would hurt growth and currency outlooks in Europe and Asia. Though it is still possible that inflation risks could fall, that outcome “becomes more difficult the longer the conflict lasts,” said Rosenberg.

Terrible 2Y Auction: Biggest Tail In 3 Years, Dealers Highest Since 2022 With both foreign and domestic investors dumping gold (and anything else not nailed down) to fund oil, at its brand sparkling new price of $170 (in Asia), we were wondering how long before the lack of disposable cash hits US debt. We got the answer today at just after 1pm when we got the results of today's $69 billion 2Year bond auction. In a nutshell, it was terrible. The auction priced at a high yield of 3.936%, up from 3.455% last month and the highest since May 2025. It also tailed the When Issued by a whopping 1.8bps, the highest tail since March 2023. The bid to cover was a piss poor 2.440, down sharply from 2.630 and the lowest since May 2024. The internals were also ugly, with Indirects taking 59.98%, an improvement from 55.91% in February, but it was the Direct bidders that unexpectedly tumbled from 42.3% to 16.50%, the lowest since March 2025. This left Dealers holding 24.12% of the auction, up sharply from 9.81% and the highest since October 2022. Overall, this was a very ugly auction, and the only thing that could have made it catastrophic was if Indirects had also refused to participate. For now they haven't but at this rate it's just a matter of time before Indirects go limit down and Dealers are forced to carry the entire auction. Tyler Durden Tue, 03/24/2026 - 13:25

Mark Zuckerberg Is Building An AI Version Of A CEO To Help Him Run Meta This isn't going to help the speculation that Zuckerberg, himself is a robot. I mean, it's only a joke...right? Mark Zuckerberg is pushing a future where everyone—inside and outside Meta Platforms—has a personal AI agent. He’s beginning with his own, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal . The CEO is building an internal “CEO agent,” still in development, that helps him quickly access information he’d normally get through layers of staff. The goal reflects a broader company shift: speed up work, reduce hierarchy, and compete with lean, AI-first startups. AI adoption has become central to Meta’s strategy. Zuckerberg recently emphasized this direction, saying, “We’re investing in AI-native tooling so individuals at Meta can get more done,” adding that the company is “elevating individual contributors and flattening teams.” Employees are now expected to use AI regularly, and it even factors into performance reviews. Across the company, staff are experimenting heavily. Internal forums are full of AI tools and ideas, with some employees describing the environment as similar to Meta’s early “move fast and break things” era—now updated to a more stable, AI-driven version of rapid innovation. New tools are emerging internally. Personal agents can access files, communicate with coworkers—or even other agents—on a user’s behalf. Another tool, Second Brain, acts like an “AI chief of staff,” helping organize and retrieve project information. There are even spaces where employees’ AI agents interact with each other. WSJ writes that Meta is also investing externally, acquiring startups like Moltbook and Manus to expand its capabilities. To support this shift, Meta created a new applied AI engineering group designed to be “AI native from day one,” focused on accelerating development of its AI models. Employees are encouraged to attend frequent AI trainings, hackathons, and build their own tool...
