A planned diplomatic mission by U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Pakistan was cancelled by President Trump after the White House labelled Tehran's initial proposal as "substandard." Officials say Iran submitted a subsequent, more promising offer that reportedly addresses nuclear weapon concerns, but entrenched mutual demands - notably…
Goldman Sachs says the Canadian dollar has held up among G10 currencies in recent weeks even as domestic indicators have softened. March inflation undershot expectations despite an energy shock, and employment has stabilised with only modest improvement versus a year earlier. The firm anticipates the Bank of Canada will stay on hold at its April me…
Goldman Sachs argues that global developments will increasingly outweigh regional UK factors in determining sterling's path as markets contend with a protracted terms-of-trade shock. The bank notes a recent improvement in UK data against a weakening euro area, but warns that domestic issues - including monetary policy expectations, valuation metric…
Goldman Sachs has reduced its USD/BRL projections across the near and medium term, citing a stronger Brazilian real driven by improved terms of trade, a recovery in risky assets and comparatively high carry. The bank says the real's relative strength should persist while energy prices remain elevated and risk sentiment holds, but it warns that a re…
Goldman Sachs says the U.S. dollar's path is being influenced by an unexpectedly small supply shock from ongoing disruptions in the Middle East. While higher energy prices and product scarcities are altering global balances, the bank finds the immediate economic effects less conspicuous than initially feared. Goldman has trimmed global growth forec…
Ukraine observed the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear disaster on April 26, 2026, in a context marked by continuing war-related threats. Officials say Russian missiles and drones have repeatedly flown near the plant, and a February 2025 strike breached the protective arch installed in 2016. Authorities report hundreds of drones have a…
Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor, signaled a preference for using Trimmed PCE to evaluate inflation during a recent Congressional hearing. The choice has drawn criticism because Trimmed PCE sits below core PCE, which some say could be interpreted as limiting rate-cut flexibility. KB Securities analysts argue Warsh’s comments sounded h…
Russian equities closed with the MOEX Russia Index unchanged, as modest advances in steel and oil-related shares balanced declines among metal producers and an airline stock. Market breadth showed slightly more winners than losers, while volatility and major commodity contracts moved with small-to-moderate changes. The ruble strengthened against th…
A Mizuho TMT analyst says accelerating investment in AI - particularly agentic AI workloads - is strengthening demand for DRAM and specialized memory such as HBM, arguing that tight supply and rising CPU attach rates make several memory stocks attractive on valuation grounds. The analyst highlights specific names in DRAM and NAND that he sees as un…
A coordinated series of attacks struck military sites across Mali on Saturday, targeting locations in and around the capital Bamako and several northern towns. Mali’s army said it repelled the assault and killed "several hundred" assailants, while al Qaeda-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Tuareg-dominated Azawad Liberation…
Tax season has delivered larger refunds compared with last year, but a surge in gasoline prices is cancelling much of that benefit. Goldman Sachs calculates that near-term real consumption growth will be weak as tax relief from last year’s fiscal package roughly offsets higher capital gains tax payments and rising energy costs create a sizable inco…
Public financial disclosures indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump acquired at least $51 million in bond holdings in March. The filings, released by the Office of Government Ethics, record 175 transactions and show purchases across municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries, corporate debt and a high-yield bond ETF. The filings report ranges rather than …
SAFRAN SA ORD (SAFRF) gapped and closed materially lower, leaving the stock trading well below its 10/20/50-day averages even as short interest has exploded. The technical picture is oversold but fragile; a disciplined long with a tight stop and a target near the 50-day SMA offers a defined risk/reward to capture a mean-reversion move or a short-co…
BlackBerry has moved from speculative pivot to evidence-driven turnaround. Recent QNX deals with Nvidia and Leapmotor, GAAP profitability, and improving free cash flow create a tradable setup. Valuation still demands delivery, but risk/reward favors a tactical long over the next 45 trading days.
Goldman Sachs analysts argue the KOSPI is positioned to continue outperforming major U.S. equity indices. Policy measures encouraging reshoring of overseas investments, strong retail inflows into domestic ETFs, and robust demand for semiconductors and defense-related stocks underpin the view, even as some sectors lag and foreign selling persists in…
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, presented Tehran’s demands and reservations regarding U.S. positions following discussions with Pakistan’s leadership as Islamabad intensifies mediation efforts to end the conflict. Although a ceasefire is in place, key regional corridors including the Strait of Hormuz and air routes remain constricted, keepi…

Adoption of AI-aware monitoring is accelerating revenue growth and FCF generation, while valuation has reset from last year's peak. We recommend a long trade with clear entry, stop and target and a 180-trading-day horizon to capture pr…
China's commerce ministry has denounced the European Union's decision to add Chinese entities to its 20th round of sanctions on Russia, demanding their immediate removal and warning of unspecified countermeasures. The EU package targets suppliers from third countries of critical high-tech components, citing companies alleged to have provided dual-u…

Property was damaged but there were no injuries. Bucharest summoned the Russian ambassador and condemned the incidents as a threat to regional security, as NATO jets monitored th…
Alibaba is no longer just a marketplace. The company’s push into AI infrastructure, embodied robotics and enterprise cloud services is starting to show in both product announcements and improving price action. With a market cap of $320.5B, a modest P/E of 25.2 and bullish technical momentum, BABA looks positioned for a measured comeback. This trade…
Goldman Sachs now expects roughly 100 initial public offerings in 2026, aggregating about $160 billion in proceeds. The bank reduced its prior count amid market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, even as early 2026 listings have delivered robust first-day gains. A notable portion of the IPO backlog remains concentrated in Software, and timing…
AMD is trading like a winner of the AI infrastructure era: strong top-line momentum across processors and accelerators, clean balance sheet, and sizable free cash flow, but the stock is richly valued and technically overbought. This trade idea lays out a disciplined long position into earnings with defined risk, a $349 entry, $320 stop and $400 tar…
ServiceNow dropped sharply after guidance and gross-margin noise on 04/23/2026. The market reaction discounted high-quality recurring revenue and $4.58B of free cash flow. With a $94.3B market cap, a PE of 53x, and technicals showing oversold-but-stabilizing action, we view the sell-off as overdone and actionable for a mid-term swing trade to $115 …
