LVMH just put the champagne back on ice (in a good way) with a monster jump that hints luxury is officially out of its slump (handbags up, spirits high, clutches… still impractical). In other news, the US-China tariff tit-for-tat that spooked markets, pushed safe-haven gold even shinier, and could make your next smartphone pricier. Vic explains why volatility can be a sneaky gift for long-term investors, Strava is stretching for an IPO (run clubs, assemble), and the UK is eyeing a trim to cash ISAs to nudge more of us into investing -smart if you diversify, smarter if you don’t blindly go all-in on the FTSE. Plus, a tiny Taylor Swift sales flex and a very important programming note: should Curve Weekly land on Monday or Tuesday? Vote in the poll or leave a comment!
