Short trading is a strategy in which investors make money by taking advantage of predictions that a stock or other asset is expected to fall. The process involves borrowing shares and selling them immediately in the hope of buying them back at a lower price once their price drops, profiting from the difference between the selling and buying prices. Simply put, short trading is a way for investors to make profits through expected negative changes in the market. The Historical Origins of Short Trading The idea of ​​short trading can

Despite the second-largest bank failure in US history, the Federal Reserve continued its interest rate hike strategy last week. This caused markets to react by pricing in continued monetary tightening, pushing back their expectations of rate decreases to 2024. Some have perceived this move as necessary to combat inflation, even if it comes at the cost of breaking the banking sector. Unfortunately, this sober outlook suggests that the rest of the year may be marked by more sideways action in the markets rather than a steady recovery. Meanwhile, in the

One month ago, Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve in the US, announced that the banking system was sound and robust despite the collapse of several large banks. After raising rates a further 0.25%, he said, “We’re committed to learning the lessons from this episode and to work to prevent events like this from happening again.” As we prepare for another potential 0.25% rate hike on May 3rd, another major bank in the US, First Republic Bank, has collapsed. Its collapse is part of a larger trend of consolidation

Despite a lot of turbulence in the markets this week the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did exactly what was predicted. Jerome Powell carefully adjusted his language and reframed the narrative around his 25 basis point rate hike to try and calm the markets he had helped to damage. His forward guidance was only to expect further rate increases if inflation spirals out of control. He avoided taking any responsibility for the recent bank failures, claiming instead that the sector was stable and robust. In reality, the global financial system

These days you can’t scroll through YouTube without encountering videos foretelling the end of crypto and the collapse of the global financial system. The clickbait culture that invaded traditional journalism has now spread to citizen journalism too, but how realistic are all of these dramatic claims? Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) pervade the mainstream media. So much so that even people with little knowledge of the technology claim it’s all going to zero. If you’re looking for bottom signals this is the equivalent of everyone FOMOing in at the top.

A few months ago the markets were confident we were approaching the end of big interest rate hikes and that after the summer central banks such as the US Federal Reserve would begin to ease their monetary policy. However, due to persistently high inflation, especially core inflation, the markets have adjusted their view which goes some way to explaining the recent crypto market volatility. As cryptocurrency is touted as an inflation hedge and an alternative form of money, users are often confused or surprised to discover that over the short

Just when we thought it was safe to breathe a sigh of relief from all the crypto liquidity contagion, another one started to appear last week with BendDAO, an NFT borrowing, and lending platform. Due to structural faults in the way the protocol had been created there came a point when it was perched on the brink of insolvency. What we’ve witnessed over the past few months has been a clash between the overconfidence of some project founders and the realities of the emerging crypto market. It’s an unusual dynamic
