Deep dives

Market Turmoil and Global Effects

Recent fluctuations in the Japanese stock market have had significant repercussions across global financial markets, with the Nikkei index suffering its steepest losses since the 1987 stock market crash. This sharp decline triggered a wave of sell-offs, also impacting markets in South Korea and the United States. The deterioration of the 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks, such as Amazon and Apple, has raised alarm about systemic vulnerabilities in the stock market, particularly given their pivotal role in driving overall market performance. Despite a slight recovery in the markets, the situation has heightened anxiety, prompting discussions about the potential onset of a bear market amid an unprecedented spike in market volatility, as measured by the VIX index.

Rising Tensions: Economic Strain and Ethnic Conflict in the UK

6min

The bears are coming. As Japan posts the biggest one day stock market losses since Black Monday, we’re asking whether this dip is a passing blip – or the big ka-blam?

Meanwhile, Argentina’s reserves include almost two million ounces of gold, valued at $4.5 billion. But lately, there’s a question that’s on everybody’s lips: where is it?

The gold seems to have been transferred out of the country. But why, no one can say.

Is this some sublime economic master-stroke from the wacky professor Milei? Or just the equivalent of a desperate gambler taking his wife’s gold rings up to the pawn shop?

Finally, in a subscriber-only super-section, we’ll be covering the British race riots.

The events of the past few days have shaken the British establishment to its core. With no clear narrative, and an increasingly balkanised society, the country’s leaders now seem clueless and visibly scared, as they face down the fruits of eighty years of immigration policy failure.

For our Patrons, we’ll be taking the long view - tracing the history of British immigration; then extending into the far future - looking at the demographic realities of the UK from here on out. And, of course, we’ll be hashing through the story of the day.

What can an already wobbling Starmer regime do in the face of the tectonic forces being unleashed?

Be warned, this one’s a black pill so big it might be a black suppository.
