There has been a huge rally in the NASDAQ in 2023. However, notably, there has been a disconnect with other equity markets in recent weeks. Whilst the tech-laden NASDAQ has continued to post strong gains, elsewhere the rallies have fallen over and some are turning corrective. So is NASDAQ an outlier and set to be … Continued
SIPPs and ISAs are horrendously complicated. Why not simplify the investing tax shelters? After the 2008 global financial crisis, the UK base rate fell to 0.1% and stayed there until December 2021. Simultaneously, the Bank of England printed £895 billion of bonds — aka quantitative easing — devaluing the currency at a precipitous pace. After … Continued
Premier African Minerals has achieved something that few thought possible – brought a patch of bush into lithium concentrate production in under 8 months. That really is remarkable and they have indeed achieved that at the Zulu Project in Zimbabwe. They’ve also got a horrible, horrible, financial problem here. It is about, vaguely, possible that … Continued

The AIM index has always been a poor performer. It’s the star players you need to keep an eye on. As a long-term investor in small cap FTSE AIM shares, I would say that sentiment on the UK’s growth index feels a tad negative. Maybe it’s just me? The index is down 17.3% over the … Continued
The Bank of England (BoE) is facing an ongoing battle against inflation. Despite interest rates having been aggressively hiked to 4.50% as headline inflation reached double digits, there is more work to be done. Today’s announcement of inflation for April suggests that the work could be considerable. The likely need for further rate hikes (yes, … Continued
As Treasury yields have picked up in the past two weeks, we have seen the USD also strengthening once more. With the US debt ceiling having been hit, politicians remain locked in negotiations to prevent what would surely be a chaotic default. This may have been impacting very short-duration T-bills but further out the curve, … Continued
PREM is just the latest example of why it’s so essential to read the details. Premier African Minerals (LON: PREM) pulled a little trick last week that should be used as the poster child for why we should always, but always, read the details. PREM had a rights issue. Well, nothing wrong in that, they’re … Continued

Gold has been a consistently solid investment over recent months. However, the shine is beginning to be taken off the performance. The drivers that have allowed gold to outperform other metals (that are deemed to be a higher risk) are starting to dissipate. This is leading to a retreat which could drag the gold price … Continued
MNK was up 435% on Friday – this is option-like price movement. Mallinckrodt (NYSEAmerican: MNK) jumped 435% on Friday. Which is the sort of price behaviour we expect from options, not from major corporations. The reason for the volatility – not for the price movement, the volatility – is that in effect MNK stock is … Continued
Oil rebounded yesterday as traders have taken progress in the talks over the US debt ceiling as a positive for market sentiment. This near-term boost may still have legs to run, but the path to sustainable upside looks restricted. There is a whole catalogue of mixed signals impacting the oil price right now, but for … Continued
Polymetal (LON: POLY) (OTCPK: AUCOY) (OTCPK: POYYF) is to move its main listing to the Kazakh stock exchange. The shares fell 25% on the news, then regained 10% the next day on further consideration. The base problem here is that we all know that Polymetal is a well-run and valuable gold miner. It’s also tied … Continued
The mechanics, the politics, McCarthy, and why it really is different this time. Every so often, the prospect of a US default rears its ugly head. The common wisdom is that the government will always push through some kind of ‘fudge,’ an unhappy middle ground that keeps the can kicking down the road. And usually, … Continued
THG (LON: THG), what was formerly known as The Hut Group, fell near 50% last week. Only part of this was about the business itself, a goodly portion was really about Matt Moulding and his ideas. All of which does then lead to the question, well, what next? 117p to 62p really is near 50%, … Continued
This has been a tough period for metals prices in the commodities sector. As so often has been the case, there is a key link between the performance of the USD and that of metals prices. However, with risk appetite and the USD playing a role, this is also meaning that there is a safe … Continued

The Bank of England (BoE) joined the throng of major central banks in hiking interest rates by +25 basis points today.

Given lockdown of course the airlines got it in the neck – but the long-haul and business orientated lines perhaps more than the short-hop and leisure. This these recent results from IAG (LON: IAG) are encouraging but no more than that. Because that core business of theirs, the long-haul business traveller, seems to be coming … Continued
Inflation has always been a crucial factor in how central banks devise their monetary policy positions. As the Federal Reserve has paused its rate hikes amid mounting signs of recession, the FOMC members will be hoping that inflation begins to accelerate lower. The monthly data suggest they may just get their wish in the coming … Continued
The oil price has been swung around like a rag doll in the past couple of months. The focus on supply factors has been shoved aside as traders have fretted over the outlook for oil demand. Concerns over an impending recession in the US have dominated the narrative. However, this may have become overdone for … Continued

After the Reserve Bank of Australia hiked unexpectedly on Tuesday, the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) made it a hat-trick of 25 basis points of rate hikes in the past 24 hours.

At his May FOMC press conference, Mr. Powell tried his hand at stand-up comedy by saying “banking conditions have broadly improved since March.” Could it really be possible that he can be so blind to what is actually happening within the banking system? A banking system can only function properly when certain parameters are in … Continued
Top Financial (NASDAQ: TOP) might well be the silliest of the recent market manias. There’s really nothing there to make it of interest. Well, nothing as interesting as people seem to think.

Copper demand will skyrocket this decade. Supply is falling, and inventories are at near-record lows. For the long-term investor, it’s merely a waiting game. In early November 2022, I wrote up an article covering the growing consensus surrounding the emerging copper supply gap. Simply put, copper demand is growing exponentially, and supply is drying up. … Continued
Things do sometimes go wrong, as WANdisco (LON: WAND) and Alphawave (LON: AWE) have just shown – with an able little assist from Altyngold (LON: ALTN).

First Quarter GDP increased at only a 1.1% seasonally adjusted annual rate. That was down from 2.6% in Q4 of last year, which was down from 3.2% during Q3.

FAANG stocks are reporting positive earnings so far in Q1 2023. Each holds a useful insight for long-term investing. The FAANG stocks are a long-term investor’s ultimate quandary.

Last week, I discussed whether the US growth stocks that had driven the rally on Wall Street could keep up the pace.

A near-term correction is building on gold. Since peaking at $2039 in mid-April, the gold price has been pulled lower.

Equity markets have fluctuated in recent months, but there is a key theme that has developed. There has been a decisive shift in the outlook for US equities since the turn of the year.

Atlantic Lithium (LON: ALL) is one of those shares that justify the AIM market in London, or the similar parts of the TSE and Vancouver exchanges.

CXApp (NASDAQ: CXAI) was quite the exciting stock last week, jumping from $1.33 to, at one point intraday, $50 or so. It fell off from that, obviously enough.

Warren Buffett once famously advised investors to ‘be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.’ He’s not wrong.

The former Soviet state is toeing a delicate line between Russian politics, Chinese protections, and European energy concerns. Uranium is in many ways like lithium.

OPEC has played this particular gambit before. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. Brent Crude — the North Sea oil benchmark — traded for an average of circa $70 per barrel in 2021, $42 in 2020 (when oil went negative for the first time ever), and $64 in 2019. BP CEO Bernard … Continued

One of the more surprising outcomes of the Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ: SIVB) collapse and bankruptcy is that stablecoins are not, in fact, stable.
