Oil outlook: Why geopolitics isn’t enough to lift crude
Geopolitical shocks once sent oil prices sharply higher, but analysts say that playbook no longer works on its own.

Crypto markets have started 2026 with renewed momentum after a sluggish end to last year, supported by fresh institutional inflows and fading year-end selling pressure.

Bitcoin’s wild year: 2025 review
The year 2025 marked a turning point for Bitcoin, with rapid progress in infrastructure, regulation, and institutional adoption advances that once seemed unrealistic.

Bitcoin’s recovery back towards $92,000 has arrived at a pivotal moment, with traders weighing whether the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cut could ignite the market’s next decisive move.

Analysts suggest that President Donald Trump’s proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend” has fuelled a wave of market optimism rather than a genuine injection of liquidity.
