I just found out that Canelo's daughter has a pretty serious modeling career. Emily Cinnamon Álvarez Beltrán closed a runway show at New York Fashion Week with an incredible dress by designer Alonso Máximo. Honestly, I didn't know Canelo's daughter was involved in international modeling.
She is only 18 years old and is already walking runways in New York, not bad at all. The dress she wore was from the Morelia collection, with a wide skirt and puffy sleeves, each color representing something different according to the designer. It seems it was a tribute to a dog the designer once had.
The cute

I just saw that Polymarket is making a pretty interesting move. They integrated Pyth Pro and now offer prediction markets for traditional assets like gold, silver, stocks, and commodities. That is, it's no longer just for political or sports events in the crypto world.
What caught my attention is that traders can now access daily contracts on things like WTI crude oil, natural gas, Tesla, Nvidia, Palantir, and major index ETFs. The charts update every second with live data, which is quite different from what we were used to in these spaces.
According to Polymarket, demand for exposure to real-

Here is the summary of how the pension bonus in February 2026 went. ANSES confirmed that it maintained the monthly mobility scheme, so all pensions were adjusted according to December's inflation, which was 2.84%. With that, the minimum pension increased from $349,299 to $359,219.42. Not bad considering how things were.
What many were waiting for was the extraordinary bonus of $70,000 paid in February 2026. This boost was granted to retirees with the minimum pension, beneficiaries of PUAM, and pensioners for disability or old age. If you earned a little more than the minimum, you received a pr

I just read something interesting about SpaceX that is generating quite a buzz in investment circles. Apparently, Elon Musk's company filed a confidential IPO application with the SEC, and according to Bloomberg, this could be one of the largest listings in U.S. history. We're talking about a valuation above $1.75 trillion with the potential to raise up to $75 billion if the process proceeds as planned.
What caught my attention is that the structure includes dual-class shares to preserve internal control, with around 30% reserved for retail investors. Wall Street banks are already in discussi

I just found out that on March 16th, classes were suspended at the SEP for Benito Juárez's birthday. Basically, it was a three-day long weekend because they moved the official date to the third Monday of the month, so students and workers had extra time off. The thing is, many people didn't realize and continued with their normal plans.
What's interesting is that this happened just before Holy Week, which in 2026 started on March 30th. So, if you planned well, you could have almost two weeks of consecutive vacation. Some colleagues said it was the best month of the year to rest.
Anyway, it jus

I just saw an analysis from JPMorgan that got me thinking: the aluminum market is caught in what they call a "black hole" of supply, and honestly, the situation looks more complicated than many believe.
What happened is quite serious. Iran recently attacked two key refineries in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, causing a capacity loss that is not easy to recover from. The price of aluminum in London has already surpassed $3,600 per ton—the highest level in four years. But here’s the interesting part: JPMorgan is saying this is just the beginning.
The institution issued an official warning to its clients

Interesting things are happening in the currency markets lately. The conflict in Iran seems to be accelerating carry trade movements in the G10, and the results are quite positive for certain players.
What catches my attention is that the carry trade betting against the yen and the Swiss franc is working wonderfully. Meanwhile, those betting in favor of the Australian dollar, the Norwegian krone, and the British pound are also seeing green numbers. There is a clear logic behind this.
On one hand, the Australian dollar and the Norwegian krone have strengthened because they are commodity-exporti

Something pretty crazy just happened in the market. Allbirds, that shoe brand that a few years ago was the favorite of Silicon Valley tech bros, shot up 876% in a single day on Wednesday. The price jumped from $2.49 to $24.31. Yes, you read that right.
But wait, there's a twist. The company isn't saving its footwear business. In fact, it's doing the exact opposite: it's completely abandoning it.
Allbirds just announced that it's pivoting toward AI computing infrastructure and will rebrand as NewBird AI. The company secured a funding round of up to $50 million, which is expected to close in the

I have been observing for some time how the U.S. debt of $39 trillion is becoming an increasingly central topic in market conversations, and honestly, the scenario painted by Jerome Powell is not something to take lightly. The Federal Reserve chairman acknowledged that although the current situation "is not unsustainable," if action is not taken quickly, the path toward possible fiscal bankruptcy is very real. What’s interesting is that this is not just a theoretical problem: with interest rates between 4% and 5%, the cost of servicing the debt could reach 5.5% of the U.S. GDP, which practical

I just noticed something quite important that has been causing noise in the financial markets lately. The Bank of England has been issuing serious warnings about what might happen in the coming months, and honestly, it's worth paying attention.
The thing is, volatility related to conflicts in the Middle East is affecting much more than many thought. We're not only seeing turbulence in government bonds but also in private credit markets and especially in those U.S. tech companies focused on artificial intelligence. The Bank of England has pointed out that uncertainty is so high that the market

I just reviewed Ark Invest's quarterly report and there's something interesting: the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States remain quite stable. We're talking about holdings that ranged between 1.26 and 1.31 million BTC during the first quarter, and by the end of March, they reached 1.29 million.
What catches my attention is that this happened while Bitcoin dropped up to 23% in its maximum drawdown. Normally, when you see such sharp declines, institutional investors start to sell, but that didn't happen here. The positions in these crypto ETFs hardly moved.
This says a lot about institutional

I just found out that Retractable Technologies is distributing severance packages. Something like $122,000 in total for employees affected by internal changes. Apparently, it's part of the company's normal adjustments when restructuring operations.
The interesting part is that analysts say this is quite common in the medical sector now. Supply chains are changing rapidly, technology is advancing nonstop, and all companies are optimizing staff to stay competitive. It is said that the impact on the company's overall operation won't be serious, so it seems to be a moderate adjustment.
What catche

I just checked the US market opening indicators and the gold fund, and honestly, things are quite calm. The volume in the first 15 minutes is in the 13th percentile, well below the 30-day average, so the absorption capacity at open is limited. What's interesting is that the continuation momentum is also low, in the 30th percentile, which means that although there is initial movement, the trend doesn't have much strength to sustain itself. In summary, it looks like a typical day with moderate dynamics. The gold fund and the market in general show no signs of extreme volatility, just that medium

I just read something that caught my attention about what might be happening with the U.S. economy right now.
Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, released an analysis that basically says: look, there’s an indicator we’ve been using for decades that has never failed, and that indicator is flashing all red lights right now. It’s called Índice de Ciclo Vicioso (VCI), and it’s like an improved version of the famous Sahm rule, but adjusted to truly measure what’s going on in the labor market.
Here’s how it works: if the three-month average unemployment rate rises by more than one

I just saw a pretty sophisticated attack on BSC. It turns out they manipulated the TMM/USDT pair using flash loans from various platforms — Venus, Aave V3, PancakeSwap, and Uniswap. The interesting part is how they reduced the token reserve to almost nothing by burning TMM, then exchanged 850 million TMM for about 272 million USDT.
In total, they made around 1.66 million USDT in profit after repaying all the flash loans. It’s a good reminder of how vulnerable a trading pair can be when liquidity is low. The attacker exploited this to completely manipulate the price.
These types of reserve mani

I just found out that Arc launched two pretty interesting initiatives for its community. One is Arc House, which basically centralizes everything you need to get involved in the ecosystem: from educational content to information about hackathons, in-person events, and a space for community projects to showcase themselves. What I find useful is that it also tracks members' activity, so you know where you stand in the community.
But the most relevant is the Architects program, which functions as a recognition system without requiring you to formally apply. Basically, if you genuinely contribute

I just noticed something interesting happening in Russia. The Russian Central Bank recently announced that it will require its citizens to declare their crypto asset holdings abroad. Basically, if you have cryptocurrencies stored in wallets or platforms outside the country, you’ll have to report it to the Federal Tax Service.
The curious thing is that they are not banning people from holding crypto assets abroad. What they’re seeking is full transparency. Vladimir Chistyukhin, the number two at the Central Bank, explained that this comes with new, stricter KYC requirements for trading platform

I've been watching gold futures these days and things look quite bullish. Yesterday they rose nearly 2% during the session, continuing the upward wave they've been on recently. What moved the market was the release of March PPI data in the U.S. — it increased 4% year-over-year, but surprisingly, it was well below what the market expected (4.6%). The monthly figure also came in lower at 0.5%, and the core PPI barely moved 0.1% month-over-month. Basically, the inflation numbers turned out to be calmer than many feared.
This took pressure off the markets in general. Goldman Sachs comments that al

I just read a very interesting analysis from team 1011 about the U.S. strategy in the Strait of Hormuz that’s worth discussing.
Basically, Garrett Jin from 1011 points out that although the maritime blockade the United States is implementing is tactically smart, it probably won’t achieve what it aims for. It makes sense when I think about it: in the short term, it works because it directly cuts Iranian oil exports (we’re talking about about 1.7 million barrels per day), and it’s also cheaper than occupying critical infrastructure like Khark Island.
But here’s where it gets interesting. The 101
