In this week's Macro Mondays, James Brodie is joined by James Todd and Will Cunliffe, as they dive into the latest macro shifts shaking global markets.Trump's proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend” has injected fresh volatility, lifting gold and equities while raising major concerns around inflation, fiscal credibility, and the Federal Reserve's next move.At the same time, US layoffs are accelerating, consumer sentiment has plunged to its second-lowest reading ever, and job openings have collapsed - signalling clear labour-market softness. AI stocks remain under pressure as Michael Burry places heavy short positions, triggering sharp corrections across NVIDIA, Palantir, Meta and other Magnificent 7 names.Meanwhile, structural imbalances deepen across global markets. AI data centres are driving unprecedented electricity demand, commercial real estate delinquencies are spiking, and US yields fluctuate as traders weigh recession risks versus stimulus-driven inflation.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Kaledora Linn, Co-founder and “Empress of RWAs” at Ostium, joins to break down the rise of on-chain equity perps, the funding-rate chaos that hit 365%, and why she believes the next wave of tokenized assets won't come from exchanges—but from structured liquidity markets. We dive deep into Ostium's hybrid CFD model that blends TradFi mechanics with on-chain transparency, explore why most retail traders can't stomach perp carry costs, and debate what “safe leverage” could look like in an RWA world. The panel also touches on CZ's presidential pardon and Coinbase's new Echo platform, connecting the dots between political optics, capital formation, and how crypto's product design is evolving beyond speculation. Whether you're building perpetual DEXs, tokenizing RWAs, or just trying to survive the next funding-rate spike, this episode unpacks how market design, UX, and regulation will shape crypto's next trillion-dollar frontier.

In this special extended edition of the UK Energy Show , Greg Newman and Julian Keites break down Ed Miliband's recent BBC interview and what it really means for household bills, grid investment, and the future of UK energy. From the rising non-commodity costs buried in your electricity bill to the hidden “tax” of net zero infrastructure, we unpack the mechanics behind energy pricing and how government policy is shaping what you pay. We also dive into the promises of 400,000 new green jobs, the role of CFDs and renewables in stabilising costs, and the controversy surrounding Rosebank - the North Sea oil field that could reshape the UK's energy balance. If you've ever wondered why your energy bill isn't falling, or what's really driving government energy decisions, this episode gives you the clearest breakdown yet.CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs and spread bets. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs and spread bets work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Most traders don't fail because of bad strategies — they fail because of how they think. If you've ever felt like every trade has to work, you might be trapped in a scarcity mindset - one that fuels fear, doubt, and hesitation every time you enter the market.In this episode of Talking Trading, trading mentor Louise Bedford talks with mindset expert Rik Schnabel about how to escape the mental traps that sabotage your results. You'll learn how to replace fear with focus, rebuild your confidence, and finally trade with abundance and clarity.

Gold war in diesem Jahr eines der besten Investments und hat über 50 Prozent zugelegt. Die einen Experten warnen jetzt vor Rückschlägen, die anderen sehen Gold schon bald bei 5.000 Dollar pro Unze. „Man kann sogar sagen, Gold ist explodiert. Es können ruhig noch einmal 5 bis 10 Prozent Plus werden. Die Gründe sind vielfältig. Wir haben Multi-Krisen. Und immer wenn es unsicher in der Welt wird, steigt der sichere Hafen Gold", sagt Jens Chrzanowski. Der XTB-Deutschlandchef weiter: „Physisch kaufen würde ich nur, wenn ich wirklich Fort Knox zu Hause habe. Es gibt Wertpapiere: Xetra-Gold und auch ETFs, die man kaufen kann oder für kurzfristiges Handeln CFDs auf Gold. Xetra Gold ist eines der beliebtesten Produkte, wenn es um Gold geht. Eine Tochter der Deutsche Börse ist der Emittent. Das spricht natürlich für Solidität und ist einfach zu handeln. CFDs sind dagegen mehr fürs kurzfristige Traden. Ich kann da auf short oder long gehen." Alle Details im Interview mit Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.xtb.com

From variance risk premiums to the term structure of implied volatility, he translates complex derivatives concepts into practical frameworks traders can apply. A disciplined risk manager himself, Greg has experienced firsthand the emotional challenges of trading including drawdowns, feast-or-famine cycles, and the psychological traps that volatility markets set. He approaches trading as both an intellectual puzzle and an emotional discipline, emphasizing sober decision making, risk awareness, and long-term consistency.Today, Greg's voice is one of the most respected in crypto options. Whether he is explaining the nuances of zero-day contracts, highlighting hidden risks in crowded trades, or exploring the macro forces shaping volatility markets, Greg brings clarity, context, and candor. For him, trading options is not about chasing lottery tickets. It is about building repeatable edges, managing exposure, and staying in the game when others get shaken out.What You Will Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, Greg Magadini and Two Blokes Trading dive deep into the mechanics and mindset of volatility trading. Greg explains why options are ultimately insurance contracts, how variance risk premiums provide the real edge, and why term structure is the silent driver of profits and losses.You will learn how to measure realized versus implied volatility, how to think about risk through the Greeks instead of just strike prices, and why path dependency makes options uniquely challenging.

In this week's Macro Mondays, James Brodie, James Todd, and Spyridon Kokas, break down a week of record highs and rising uncertainty. Japan's new Prime Minister, Senae Takaichi, pledged sweeping stimulus, sending the Nikkei up nearly 5% and the Yen down 2%, as debt fears grew. In Europe, French Prime Minister Lecornu resigned after less than a month, driving Euro weakness and a sell-off in French bonds, now yielding above Italy's. U.S. data remains scarce amid the government shutdown, with consumer confidence plunging and UBS pegging recession odds at 90%. Gold surged to new all-time high alongside the S&P500, Nasdaq, NVIDIA, and Bitcoin, while silver, platinum and palladium also surged higher; however, Brent struggled near $65/bbl. Bitcoin hit fresh records as liquidity flooded risk assets. With Powell set to speak and four Fed cuts priced in, the team debates whether gold's relentless rally or the market's euphoria is telling the real macro story.

In this week's Macro Mondays, James Todd is joined by Spyridon Kokas and Mita Chaturvedi to dissect a turbulent week in markets. President Trump has unveiled plans for sweeping new tariffs, including a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical imports, just as Washington stares down another potential government shutdown at the October 1st deadline. The Dollar continues to weaken, with Treasury yields sliding as faith in U.S. data erodes and the Fed faces pressure to accelerate rate cuts. Gold and silver both powered to record highs on surging ETF demand, while the Dollar-Yen teeters as the Bank of Japan signals a hawkish tilt. Brent struggles to hold above $70/bbl amid Russian supply hits and a surprise surge in Indonesian exports to China. In equities, Boeing rebounds on a huge Turkish Airlines order, even as the S&P 500 consolidates after recent losses. With non-farm payrolls and critical inflation prints due this week, markets are bracing for another bout of volatility.

ory dives deep into energy risk management with industry veteran Steve Sinos. Steve, with over 20 years of experience, explains how energy derivatives—from Futures and Options to CFDs—are crucial risk management tools designed to shift, not destroy, market risk. The episode frames this through the practical scenario of advising a regional airline on hedging its largest cost: fuel price exposure. Steve details the non-mechanical, iterative process of understanding controllable versus unknowable factors, emphasizing that effective risk management forces explicit trade-offs to achieve strategic goals. The discussion covers the diverse hedging approaches of airlines and E&P companies, focusing on product selection, instrument choice, and the critical challenge of basis risk. He shares insights on managing for quantifiable success over predicting "black swan" events, and the shift towards optimizing the "efficiency of a risk dollar" for specific cash flow targets. Listeners will also learn about interpreting complex market data like Commitment of Traders (COT) reports to avoid speculative biases and navigating unique market structures, such as the current "smiley curve" in crude futures. This episode underscores the risk manager's role as a "therapist," helping strategic leaders make informed decisions by understanding the sacrifices required to meet their objectives

Meanwhile, investors are withdrawing from US Treasuries amid political uncertainty, China's economy is under pressure despite upcoming stimulus, and global attention turns to a packed week of critical economic data releases.

In this week's episode of the Flux News Show, Greg Newman, Harry Campion-Evans, and Mita Chaturvedi break down why middle distillates like diesel are defying the trend and driving oil markets. They dive deep into the distillates rally, unpacking how chronically low stocks, disjointed refining activity, and CTA-led momentum flipped what looked like a stop-out into a full-blown bull run.Meanwhile, soaring diesel-led margins and rare summer tightness in the physical market are reshaping the narrative on cracks and spreads — and few saw it coming.The team also touches on new hedge fund launches, the shifting macro backdrop around US–EU trade tensions, and the latest on the Murban pricing saga, as PLATTS faces scrutiny over a controversial methodology tweak.In the Crystal Ball, Greg, Harry, and Mita debate whether the distillate tightness is here to stay - and what it means for Brent, refinery utilization, and product flows heading into peak demand season. 

In this episode of Macro Mondays, James Todd & Edward Hayden-Briffett unpack a high-stakes week in global markets; where rising bond yields, China's deepening economic slump, and Trump's provocative economic rhetoric have stirred volatility across assets. As fears of stagflation hit the UK, and the tech rally pushes into bubble territory, markets are bracing for unpredictable shifts ahead. 

In this week's episode of the Flux News Show, Harry Campion-Evans steps in for Group CEO Greg Newman and joins Harinder Sandhu and Vincent Wu to dissect the shifting tides in global oil markets.The team kicks off with a bullish shift in market fundamentals, driven by strong open interest in Brent options, rising refinery margins, and the impact of U.S. sanctions rhetoric. They then dig into the distillate rally, where July–August gas oil spreads hit their highest levels since the Russian invasion. With inventory draws in the U.S. and Europe, and hedge funds piling into long positions, gas oil is shaping up to be the star of Q3. On the flip side, the fuel oil market saw a dramatic sell-off, as supply flooded into Singapore, overwhelming demand and triggering a steep decline in cracks and spreads — a major blow for traders who had been long throughout the summer.The team also unpacks China's aggressive crude buying, highlighting record Saudi allocations and ramping refinery run rates, which could support prices through the second half of the year. Finally, they take on Trump's renewed tariff threats, analysing whether they hold weight or are being shrugged off by increasingly sceptical markets.In the Crystal Ball segment, the Harry, Harinder and Vincent give their outlook on Brent futures, product cracks, and seasonal demand patterns, with some heated debate along the way. Want to trade?Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the pros express views with relative value trades, uncorrelated contracts, and smart positioning.

In this episode of Macro Mondays, James Brodie, James Todd & Will Cunliffe unpack the latest macro crosscurrents dominating global markets—from record-breaking equity rallies to deepening economic strains in China and the U.S., and a major resurgence in precious metals and crypto. As global trade tensions escalate and monetary policy remains uncertain, markets are grappling with mixed signals and elevated volatility. 

In this of Trading Corner, hosts Manny and James dissect the extraordinary strength in the gasoil market and unravel the mechanics behind dislocations across the barrel. From front spreads hitting unprecedented highs to refinery margins soaring amid tight diesel supplies, Manny and James explore why the usual summer seasonality is failing to materialise.They examine the knock-on effects on crude, particularly the puzzling weakness in prompt physical markets despite bullish futures curves and the implications for refinery utilization and freight. As the conversation evolves, they assess regional dynamics, from European strength to softer Eastern margins, and discuss how arbitrage and freight might balance the global flows.Trade Ideas Discussed:- Manny - Bearish WTI Brent Position & Short Front Flys - James - Long Dec 26 EBOB CracksCFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.

In this episode of the Flux News podcast, Group CEO Greg Newman is back alongside Research Associate Martha Dowding and Research Analyst Will Cunliffe to break down the oil market's summer reset following the “12-day war” shock. With volumes and conviction draining out of the system, the team explores whether the return to calm signals a true inflexion point - or just the eye of the storm. This week's discussion dives into:• OPEC's latest move: why a larger-than-expected paper unwind didn't shake the market - and what the Saudi OSP hike is really signalling• China's quiet buying spree, refinery margins at record highs, and what they reveal about demand• Europe's extreme weather: how heatwaves are throttling refinery output and driving distillate cracks skyward• Macro mayhem: the U.S. dollar's strange new correlation with oil, Trump's tariff chaos, and signs of a bearish shift in U.S. economic leadership• Gasoline's fade: why cracks are slipping even in peak summer, and whether the distillate rally is now overcooked• UK pump prices are rising again - what the forward curve tells us about what you'll pay next• The Gold Rush and the Widowmaker: who made money in the Brent time spreads, and who got burned in the gasoline-gas oil spread unwind Want to trade? Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the pros express views with relative value trades, uncorrelated contracts, and smart positioning.
