Following on from last week’s drama, this week sees more uncertainty in the banking, tech, and crypto sectors. While the US has been pushing a hardline policy of monetary tightening it now looks like the global financial system and tech sectors are on the brink of breaking which has caught Jerome Powell off guard. A hawkish Fed has been pushing interest rates higher, recently claiming they still had headroom to push harder and for longer than before due to the buoyant labor market.

It’s easy for people to conclude that as soon as regulation comes to crypto, investors will have confidence and flood back into the market. If that was true you would expect to see the stock market flooded with liquidity, but tech stocks are experiencing similar conditions to crypto. Not only is there

This week saw another round of interest rates hikes by central banks to try and control inflation. With all the talk of a potential pivot in monetary policy, interest rates continued their parabolic rise by 75 basis points in the UK, and the US. Initially the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 0.75% interest rate increase caused markets to jump because this was the rise they’d been expecting and had already priced in. However, in the subsequent press conference the tone was more hawkish which caused the markets to drop a

It hasn’t been an easy run through the 2021 World Championship for Fnatic, winless through the first three games of their group stage performance. Before the start of the second round-robin for Group C, the LEC’s second seed has released an emotional behind-the-scenes look into the struggles that the roster is facing. In the video, head coach YamatoCannon addressed the situation around Fnatic’s AD carry Upset. Although he said that Upset gave him some details around the situation, he didn’t specify to the camera. YamatoCannon, however, said that the decision
