asbe/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview During the fourth quarter of 2025, commodity markets rose 5.9% as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return (BCOM). Precious metals led sector gains, up 21.8%, with silver surging 51.0% and gold up 12.2%, driven by accelerating safe-haven flows, sustained central bank buying, and deepening expectations for further Federal Reserve rate cuts as inflation moderated and growth concerns intensified. Industrial metals rose 12.0%, supported by infrastructure, AI data center, and green energy investment, alongside a weaker U.S. dollar. Reduced tariff-related uncertainty following the November Washington–Beijing trade agreement was also beneficial. Agriculture rose 0.6%, with grains up 2.1%, benefiting from improved U.S.-China relations and renewed soybean purchase commitments, while softs declined 3.5% as favorable weather in key producing regions and ample global supplies. Livestock declined 1.2%, as strong production levels and moderating wholesale beef and pork prices offset earlier supply tightness, with consumer demand softening into the holiday season. Energy prices declined 6.2%, with natural gas down 9.0% amid record U.S. production, mild early-winter weather, and elevated storage levels that overwhelmed any temporary cold-snap rallies. Petroleum prices also declined as OPEC+ continued its measured production increase into an oversupplied market, with WTI and Brent crude pressured by tepid global demand growth and ample non-OPEC supply, though geopolitical risks from ongoing conflicts and expanded Russian sanctions prevented a sharper sell-off. Early optimism around a potential Russia–Ukraine resolution, which could eventually boost global oil supply, also weighed on prices. Overall, volatility remained elevated and sector performances diverged sharply, reflecting the interplay of monetary easing, trade policy shifts, weather dynamics, and persistent supply-demand imbalances across the commodity complex.

Nastco/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Zain Vawda Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) is exhibiting a classic transition phase as it navigates between macroeconomic pressure and resilient technical demand. After a brief surge toward the $71,000 mark, the premier cryptocurrency has retreated to consolidate just below the psychologically significant $70,000 level. Source: TradingView Bitcoin is down around 4.58% this week, with red being the dominant color on the crypto heatmap. It shouldn't be a surprise, as the general market feeling is still one of unease as haven demand remains strong. The US dollar has benefitted from this, which adds further headwinds for Bitcoin's recovery. What does the on-chain data tell us? According to on-chain data analysis from Glassnode, Bitcoins price remains bounded between two critical valuation anchors: the Realized Price (~$54.9k), which acts as a long-term support floor, and the True Market Mean (~$79k), which currently serves as the primary overhead resistance. While the market has managed to break back above the psychologically significant $70,000 barrier, Glassnode warns that the recovery lacks the "ingredients of a decisive bullish turn." Instead, the environment is defined by improving internals at the margins, while broader conviction and capital flows remain soft. This is reflected by the swift drop after Bitcoin reclaimed the $70000 handle. Spot demand and ETF dynamics One of the most constructive signals is the activity within the US spot Bitcoin ETF complex. Net inflows have accelerated, rising from $776 million to $934 million weekly, alongside a significant jump in trading volume. However, this institutional demand carries a nuanced signal. The ETF MVRV ratio recently dropped into negative territory, meaning the average ETF holder is currently "underwater" on their position. Glassnode interprets this as "capitulation-like conditions" for recent institutional entrants, suggesting that while they are continuing to buy, they are doin...

Getty Images Fund Strategy Invests principally in income-producing securities, including U.S. and international corporate bonds, mortgage and asset-backed securities, U.S. government obligations, and foreign sovereign debt. Combines a top-down macro credit outlook with a bottom-up individual security selection process that focuses on measuring relative value on a risk-to-return basis. Manages a flexible duration target of typically between zero and six years. Uses tactical shifts in currency exposure for gains, hedging, and/or risk management. Quarterly review The fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index benchmark for the quarter. Sector allocation and curve positioning were additive throughout the period, while issue selection and duration detracted and quality allocation had a neutral overall impact on fourth quarter performance. Market review Despite a government shutdown that created short-term uncertainty and volatility in economic data reporting, available indicators suggest the U.S. economy remained resilient in the fourth quarter of 2025 and grew at roughly its historical trend pace. Growth was driven by solid consumer spending, supported by real income gains, healthy household balance sheets, and limited layoffs. Business investment also remained an important tailwind, with continued strength in Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and data center-related capital expenditure helping to offset softness in more rate-sensitive areas of the economy. At the same time, the expansion remained uneven, with a K-shaped dynamic evident across both households and industries. Higher-income consumers and technology-intensive sectors continued to benefit from asset-price gains, productivity-enhancing investment, and relatively loose financial conditions, while interest- and trade-sensitive industries, along with lower-income households, faced various headwinds, including still-elevated interest rates, tariffs, and the elevated price level. Inflation continued t...

Igor Tudor was hired by Tottenham as a last-ditch attempt at surviving what would be a catastrophic relegation from the Premier League. Despite being capable of turning the form of his previous clubs around, the firefighter coach has lost his first four games in charge, with the Champions League humiliation at Atletico Madrid a new low in Tottenham's desperate season. Admittedly, it isn't easy to put out fires without a hose. Between Ange Postecoglu's final season and Thomas Frank's spell this term, Spurs have been one of the worst teams domestically over a significant period of time. Their troubles extend beyond just the coach, with injuries and recruitment clear challenges. But the appointment of Tudor and the tactics he has used appear to have somehow made the situation worse.

Cathay Pacific, AirAsia and Thai Airways join Qantas in increasing prices, as travellers flock to airlines that don’t have Middle East stopovers Cathay Pacific, AirAsia and Thai Airways are among a growing number of airlines hiking air fares as conflict in the Middle East boosts oil prices and sends travellers flocking to alternative stopover destinations in Asia. The US and Israel’s war on Iran has sent the price of oil soaring while restricting access to refineries, with experts predicting air fares could be elevated for months even if the conflict ends.
