Flood Data Shows Alarming Trends, Surpassing Previous Modeling Estimates. Professor Beth Tellman (University of Arizona Geography Department; Cloud to Street) highlights that her compiled flood data is useful for financial sectors, such as insurance and municipal bonds. The data shows Asia dominates observations, accounting for 398 of 913 events, including 85 in India and 52 in China. Furthermore, climate change projections for 2030 show Asia, among 57 countries globally, is expected to see significantly increased flood exposure. Tellman asserts her data is more alarming than previous modeling because it systematically captures impactful human events that models often exclude, such as dam breaks (13 events affecting over 13 million people). Although projections to 2100 are highly uncertain, the 2030 predictions are considered a "pretty good bet." This fresh, observed data, which runs contrary to good planning, is expected to be incorporated into the next IPCC report. 1894 PORTLAND

With the S&P 500 up, many are wondering how much longer the bull market can run. Kevin Mahn says recent history is on its side. He attributes this resilience to the A.I. revolution, which he believes has just begun to gain steam. He also expects earnings to continue to drive the market, but warns that valuations matter and investors should be selective in their approach. Mahn sees opportunities in A.I. infrastructure, aerospace and defense, and small-cap biotech, as well as in the utilities trade.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Edward Dowd thinks the broad market, driven largely by a massive bubble in overvalued AI stocks, is inching closer to the edge of the abyss as a mounting crisis in the real estate and credit sector make themselves apparent.

The UK Investor Magazine was delighted to welcome Neil Wilson, Investor Strategist at Saxo UK, to discuss global equity markets and key near-term events.The discussion begins by examining the Bank of England's monetary policy constraints and whether rate cuts can deliver meaningful market impact, given current inflation rates.The conversation then turns to global equity valuations, questioning whether elevated price levels represent a genuine concern or simply reflect the natural progression of market appreciation.This leads into artificial intelligence, weighing whether the sector is experiencing a speculative bubble or if current valuations can be justified by future earnings.We look at the current US earnings season, highlighting standout companies and the key takeaways.With the FTSE 100 trading near record highs, we explore which sectors present the most compelling value opportunities for UK investors.Neil provides his view on the gold rally and whether it can be sustained.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Tackling extreme poverty and financing for food systems in Africa Organized by IFPRI and partners on the margins of the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings October 17, 2025 Join speakers from IFPRI, IFAD, UNU-WIDER and the World Bank for a high-level seminar exploring two major African priorities – poverty reduction and food systems transformation in sub-Saharan Africa. Speakers will highlight the need to make progress on reducing poverty in fragile and conflict-affected areas across the continent, and the need to examine how most effectively to finance food systems amidst declining external funding flows. An inaugural World Bank- UNU-WIDER report on poverty and fragility, being previewed at this seminar, indicates that Sub-Saharan Africa has become the epicenter of the poverty–fragility nexus, with some 70% of people in fragile and conflict affected areas now living in the region and half of the world's extreme poor projected to reside in fragile SSA states by 2030. The Africa Report on External Development Financial Flows to Food Systems, recently released by IFAD, AKADEMIYA2063, and IFPRI—analyzes the volume and composition of development finance directed toward African food systems, and implications of decreasing external flows, also for national financing strategies. This timely discussion will spotlight urgent financing needs and policy pathways to reduce poverty in the most vulnerable regions of Africa and strengthen food systems across the continent. It will also underscore the critical role of robust evidence and data-driven analysis in guiding effective financing strategies and policies —particularly as governments and development partners confront the dual pressures rising fragility and declining external flows. By grounding decisions in rigorous research, stakeholders can better align resources with impact and chart more resilient, equitable paths forward.

Friso Berghuis, director of listed investments at Dutch pension fund investment manager Bouwinvest, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the integration of REITs and listed real estate into Bouwinvest's global investment strategy.Bouwinvest has executed on a fully integrated public and private real estate strategy since 2012. Berghuis noted that including listed real estate ensures the opportunity to invest in specific compelling geographic markets and sectors such as health care, self-storage, and data centers.“Essentially, investing in listed real estate means you are also adding high quality diversified portfolios to the mix. And these portfolios are generally managed by seasoned management teams,” Berghuis said.Other reasons to choose global listed real estate include the ability to move quickly to invest in multiple sectors and markets, and the fact that listed and unlisted investments generally do not move in sync, he noted.

Having recovered from the devastating Horus Heresy, the Traitor Legions were still reeling from their defeat inside the Eye of Terror, Xenos were relegated to the frontiers of Imperial space, and the stagnation and decay that would define the Imperium millennia later had not yet set in. Confident that humanity had endured its greatest challenge, the Orks in particular were underestimated and judged to have been removed as a threat since the Ullanor Crusade.  This underestimation of the greenskins would prove to be disastrous when an enormous Ork planetoids began to materialize around imperial worlds, the Imperial Fists Chapter was destroyed, entire Sectors were overrun by the Greenskins and billions upon billions perished.Support the show

In this episode, I chat with investor Clay Dumas of Lowercarbon Capital about the growing use of “advance market commitments” (AMCs). We discuss how this simple idea — a group of buyers commits to purchasing a set amount of a product if it can be produced — can derisk investment and jumpstart innovation in the climate economy's toughest sectors. Clay explains what makes for a well-designed AMC and how it can accelerate the path to commercialization for everything from carbon removal to green steel. This is a public episode.

Eric Pachman breaks down the August jobs report. He notes that healthcare and social services are only 17% of jobs in the U.S. but is disproportionately growing new jobs in the U.S. labor market. The rest of sectors, he says, are flashing recession signals. He doesn't even think a 50 basis point rate cut can fix things, citing Powell's comments that the Fed has little control over structural changes to the economy. Eric explains how immigration and healthcare are both structurally changing the U.S. economy and what could come of it.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
