Buy the dip, or sell before the dip dips more? Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, mentioned in an April 16th research note that his company had sold all of their tech stocks, citing stickier than expected inflation and rising bond yields as his current biggest concerns for the stock and crypto markets. Bitcoin has already seen more than a 9% dip, potentially due to waning expectations of interest rate cuts, but with the halving just days away, many crypto investors are holding steady, hoping the decrease in Bitcoin's supply can outweigh the less than ideal macroeconomic trends. Do you think the halving can save Bitcoin from its recent downward trend?

Brokerages' deal augurs well for capital market recast Regulators' strengthened supervision will help China's capital market to mature toward its high-quality development, domain experts said on Wednesday after reviewing the latest market consolidation deal in the segment of securities brokerages. They said higher requirements in terms of eligibility criteria for various market entities, and a tighter grip over financial intermediaries like securities brokerages, augur well for the future development of China's capital market. Their comments emerged after Guolian Securities announced on Tuesday night it will acquire 100 percent of Minsheng Securities by issuing no more than 2 billion yuan ($260 million) worth of its shares to retail investors in the secondary market. It will also make a private placement of no more than 250 million shares. Industry experts estimated that the deal value may exceed 32 billion yuan. The deal confirms the trend of restructuring in the Chinese securities industry, which has been accelerating this year. #capitalmarket #securities #CSRC

#German Euler Hermes has conditionally approved up to US$115 million of Untied Loan Guarantees in support of debt financing for Arafura Rare Earths Limited 's Nolans #RareEarths project in #Australia's Northern Territory. Arafura’s Managing Director Darryl Cuzzubbo said: “This agreement is linked to offtake with German-based companies, including our key customer Siemens Gamesa, who are global leaders in building wind turbines to advance the energy transition." Apart from Siemens Gamesa, Arafura has a binding offtake agreement with Hyundai & Kia. Together, theses offtakes represent 54% of Nolans' nameplate production. "The Common Terms Deed for all loan facilities requires Arafura, prior to financial close, to have offtake agreements in place for a minimum 80 per cent of nameplate production after project ramp up." Arafura is in "advanced offtake discussions" and "contract negotiations" with companies in Europe, Japan and the US to close that gap to be able to reach financial close.

Most cited paper "Equity Portfolio Diversification" by William N. Goetzmann and Alok Kumar in Review of Finance, Volume 12, Issue 3, 2008, Pages 433–463, https://lnkd.in/dD64A-s Published: 28 March 2008 Abstract This study shows that U.S. individual investors hold under-diversified portfolios, where the level of under-diversification is greater among younger, low-income, less-educated, and less-sophisticated investors. The level of under-diversification is also correlated with investment choices that are consistent with over-confidence, trend-following behavior, and local bias. Furthermore, investors who over-weight stocks with higher volatility and higher skewness are less diversified. In contrast, there is little evidence that portfolio size or transaction costs constrains diversification. Under-diversification is costly to most investors, but a small subset of investors under-diversify because of superior information.

Check out Richard Jones's latest G10 FX Weekly: MoF Makes Selling USD/JPY Rallies Compelling Summary -USD/JPY briefly printed above 160 on 29 April, a public holiday in Japan, before quickly falling back below 155. -Money market data suggested the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MoF) bought about 5.5tn yen that day. -A second bout of intervention, following the Fed policy update on Wednesday, saw the MoF buy 3.5tn yen, leading USD/JPY to fall from ~157.50 to ~153 within minutes. Market Implications -We argue the MoF is showing strong resolve to resist recent JPY weakness. USD/JPY has probably topped out, with further intervention likely. -USD/JPY is a sell on rallies, as the MoF is unlikely to let the pair strengthen materially.
