'Overly optimistic': Experts warn on ASX rally
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index has gained 3.9 per cent in the last four days, in response to a sharp fall in the crude price after the US and Iran agreed to end the war in the Middle East. Investor sentiment was also bolstered by the Reserve Bank's decision to leave interest rates unchanged on Tuesday, although it has not ruled out further rate rises if inflation remains high. UBS equity strategist Richard Schellbach says the firm remains cautious about the outlook for both the oil price and inflation. He adds that apart from resources, every sector of the ASX is in "earnings downgrade mode". (RMS)

Cricket Australia board to be overhauled, BBL sale greenlit after crunch meeting
The six state cricket associations held a lengthy meeting at Cricket Australia's headquarters in Melbourne on Monday, with a series of agreements being struck.

Gold
Gold is finding its footing
Gold has surged at its fastest pace in two months following reports that Donald Trump has called off strikes against Iran. The precious metal extended its rally on news of a deal between Washington and Tehran. With tensions easing, the outlook for Gold is improving. After dropping 18% from its highs and hitting its lowest level since November 2025, investors are once again seeing reasons for optimism.
Since the start of the geopolitical conflict, the precious metal has moved in the opposite direction to oil, so the fall in Brent has allowed gold to find its footing. Higher energy prices heighten the risks of inflation becoming entrenched at elevated levels and increase the likelihood of the Fed tightening monetary policy. This creates a headwind for gold, whilst the end of the conflict in the Middle East becomes a tailwind.
The precious metal’s rebound is being driven by US stock indices returning to record highs. The history of gold’s transformation into a risky asset dates back to 2025. At that time, gold prices jumped by 65%, whilst the New York Stock Exchange mining index rose by a record 155%. Gold can also serve as a source of liquidity, with investors selling it during stock market downturns to meet margin requirements.
Another factor set to drive gold's growth is increased demand for bullion from central banks. According to the WGC, 45% of the 76 central banks that responded to the survey plan to buy gold over the next 12 months. This is a record high since such surveys began in 2018. In emerging markets, this figure stands at 53%.
Taken together, easing tensions in the Middle East, lower oil prices, a reduced likelihood of further Fed tightening in 2026, stronger equity markets and robust central bank demand are creating a more supportive backdrop for gold, potentially paving the way for a broader recovery in prices.
The technical picture also favours the bulls, showing a striking surge in buying activity from the 61.8% Fibonacci support level of the 2022–2025 rally. Further confirmation of the reversal comes from the bounce off the 50-week moving average, which turned sharply upwards after slipping at the start of June.
Summary: Gold is rebounding as Middle East tensions ease, oil prices fall, Fed tightening risks fade, equities strengthen, and central bank demand supports recovery. (FxPro)

Crypto: growth without the euphoria
Market Overview
The crypto market capitalisation rose to $2.3 trillion by the end of Monday, before falling back to $2.27 trillion at the time of writing. The market recovery trend continues, but the relatively cautious pace of growth suggests we are far from euphoria. This looks more like a phase of asset consolidation by major players, which means the rally will have to wait a while. Among the most active coins, the growth leaders were Stellar (+14.8%), Uniswap (+14.2%) and Aave (+7%). The underperformers were Toncoin (-5.6%), Official Trump (-3.3%) and The Graph (-3.2%).
Bitcoin is trading near $66.3K, up just under 1% over the past 24 hours, but some distance from Monday’s intraday highs, which were approximately $1K higher. The price rise is occurring within a channel that formed 10 days ago. On Monday, the price confirmed this channel by touching and pulling back from its upper boundary, but it remains at the top of the range. Provided the positive momentum continues, we see the $68K area (the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level) as the nearest technical resistance to price growth. A more distant signal of market strength would be a firm consolidation above the 50-day moving average, which currently exceeds $73K.
News Background
CryptoQuant notes that inflows of bitcoins to crypto exchanges from long-term holders have reached their lowest level since 2015. Selling pressure is easing, and the number of bitcoins held by long-term holders has reached a new all-time high of 15.8 million BTC.
Relai expects Bitcoin’s bearish trend to end once the phase of major investment in artificial intelligence concludes. Capital may begin to flow back into the leading cryptocurrency as early as next year.
Strategy purchased an additional 1,587 BTC last week for $100 million at an average price of $63K per coin. The company now holds 846,842 BTC, purchased for $64.1 billion at an average price of $75.6K per Bitcoin.
BitMine has increased its Ethereum holdings to 5.62 million ETH, having purchased approximately 0.08 million ETH over the past week. BitMine’s reserves have reached 4.66%, with plans to acquire 5% of the Ethereum supply.
Summary: The crypto market is rising cautiously with no signs of euphoria; Bitcoin is holding within a 10-day channel, while selling pressure is easing. (FxPro)

Gold Movie
Gold is a 2016 American epic crime drama film directed by Stephen Gaghan and written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Édgar Ramírez, Bryce Dallas Howard, Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell, Craig T. Nelson, Stacy Keach and Bruce Greenwood. The film is loosely based on the true story of the 1997 Bre-X mining scandal, when a massive gold deposit was supposedly discovered in the jungles of Indonesia; however, for legal reasons and to enhance the appeal of the film, character names and story details were changed.

News Flashback
Early 2026
January and March
Streaming Wars
The "Streaming Wars" refers to the intense competition among digital media platforms to dominate the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) market by capturing and retaining global audiences.
As of early 2026, the landscape has shifted from a period of rapid expansion into a phase of major consolidation and a focus on profitability over subscriber volume.
The "Winner" and Current State (2026)
Netflix Dominance: Industry analysts increasingly cite Netflix as the victor. In January 2026, Netflix reported 18% year-over-year revenue growth and is currently pursuing a high-stakes $83 billion all-cash acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming assets (including HBO/Max).
The "Big 3": Despite fierce competition, the market is primarily dominated by Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.
YouTube's Rise: Some experts argue YouTube is the true winner of the broader attention economy, surpassing traditional streaming services in total viewership by pivoting back to user-generated content.
Key Strategies in 2026
Consolidation: Smaller or struggling services are being shuttered or merged. For example, Disney recently shut down Hulu as a standalone service.
Monetization Shifts: Platforms have moved away from "growth at all costs" to strategies like password-sharing crackdowns, ad-supported tiers, and price hikes.
Live Sports & Events: Services are increasingly bidding on live sports rights (e.g., Netflix hosting WWE's Raw starting in 2025) to differentiate their offerings.
Bundling: To combat "subscription fatigue," platforms are forming strategic partnerships with telecommunications companies and banks to offer bundled service hubs.
Consumer Impact
Price Hikes: Many consumers are canceling services due to rising costs; over 40% of Americans cited price as their primary reason for unsubscribing in late 2025.
Resurgence of Piracy: Fragmented content and high costs have led to a significant comeback for pirate sites, which some users now find more comprehensive than paid services.
"South Park: The Streaming Wars": The term was popularized in mainstream culture by a 2-part South Park special released on Paramount+ in 2022, which satirized the industry's aggressive competition.

Gold (1974)
Gold is a 1974 British action-thriller directed by Peter R. Hunt, starring Roger Moore and Susannah York. Based on the 1970 novel Gold Mine by Wilbur Smith, the film is set in the South African goldfields and follows a conspiracy by a global syndicate to manipulate the price of gold by sabotaging a rich mine.
Plot: Rod Slater (Moore), a newly appointed general manager, is manipulated by his boss, Manfred Steyner (Bradford Dillman), into drilling through a protective barrier into a subterranean lake. This is intended to flood the mine, causing a global gold shortage and driving up prices for a greedy cabal.
Production Controversy: The film was controversially shot on location in South Africa during the apartheid era. This led to a "black ban" by British film unions, though some crew members defied it to work on the production.
James Bond Connection: Many crew members were veterans of the James Bond franchise, including director Peter Hunt (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), editor John Glen, and title designer Maurice Binder.
Accolades: The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Wherever Love Takes Me," composed by Elmer Bernstein and sung by Maureen McGovern.

Netflix News
Here's the latest Netflix news as of mid-January 2026!
The streaming giant is kicking off the year strong with a packed slate of new releases, ongoing buzz around major deals, and continued subscriber growth.
Major Highlights
Netflix is reportedly in the midst of a blockbuster acquisition: the company has agreed to buy Warner Bros. in a massive deal valued at around $82.7 billion (with some reports citing $72 billion in equity value).
This move aims to supercharge its content library with iconic franchises like Harry Potter and classic films.
However, there's drama — Paramount Skydance has launched a competing hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, adding some high-stakes industry intrigue!
Netflix ended 2025 with over 301.6 million global subscribers, solidifying its position as the top streaming platform.
What's New & Coming in January 2026
January is loaded with fresh originals, from thrilling mysteries to romantic adaptations and long-awaited returns.
Here are some of the standout releases that are lighting up the charts and generating buzz right now:
People We Meet on Vacation — A charming rom-com adaptation of the Emily Henry novel, starring Emily Bader — it's been topping the charts as one of the biggest new movies of the year so far!
The Rip — This high-octane action-thriller directed by Joe Carnahan reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon — it's one of the most anticipated films dropping mid-month, perfect for fans of intense heist vibes!
His & Hers — A gripping mystery series starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, following estranged spouses racing to solve a murder. It's been climbing the Top 10 with strong buzz around its twists.
Bridgerton Season 4 — The Regency-era drama returns later in the month (Part 1 premiering around Jan 29), with plenty of masquerade glamour and romance — the premiere events are already making waves!
Other notables include:
Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (true-crime docuseries)
New seasons of hits like Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, Love Is Blind: Germany, and WWE Unreal
Stand-up specials and reality shows keeping the variety flowing.
Plus, don't miss the Stranger Things 5 making-of documentary One Last Adventure, which premiered earlier this month for fans wanting a deep dive into the finale. Netflix is clearly doubling down on big stars, book adaptations, and high-energy originals to keep viewers hooked in 2026. (Grok)

Recent 2026 Developments
Warner Bros. Merger News: As of January 21, 2026, Netflix has moved toward an all-cash $27.75-per-share offer to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, aiming to outbid Paramount.
Market Reaction: Despite a Q4 earnings beat, Netflix shares saw a 7% decline in some markets (e.g., Frankfurt) on January 21, 2026, due to investor concerns regarding the financial weight of the Warner Bros. acquisition.
New Initiatives: The company is expanding into vertical video features for mobile and has recently launched video podcasts.
Live Events: Upcoming live events include the world-record climber Alex Honnold's "Skyscraper Live" ascent of Taipei 101 on January 23, 2026.

BHP recruits Stephen Conroy as strike looms
Resources giant BHP has become a client of TG Public Affairs, a lobbying firm that is chaired by former federal Labor minister Stephen Conroy. The firm's appointment has coincided with industrial unrest in the Pilbara, with about 450 unionised workers at BHP's iron ore operations having recently voted in favour of industrial action. Conroy himself had worked for the Transport Workers' Union prior to being elected to the Senate in 1996; he had attempted to stall efforts by then-prime minister Tony Abbott to repeal Labor's Minerals Resource Rent Tax in 2014.

SpaceX IPO Nears, Pushing Elon Musk Toward Trillionaire Status
SpaceX plans to price shares at $135 each on Thursday, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion and raising up to $75 billion in the largest IPO ever, with trading possibly starting Friday on Nasdaq under SPCX. Musk's 42% stake would be worth $740 billion to $866 billion, combined with his $300 billion-plus Tesla holdings pushing his net worth over $1 trillion according to Forbes and Bloomberg estimates. Prediction markets give 96% odds he'll be the first trillionaire by year-end, amid X users celebrating employee windfalls and free markets while others decry economic inequality, with jokes about Musk's riches flying alongside analyst cautions on risks.

Gold
Gold is finding its footing
Gold has surged at its fastest pace in two months following reports that Donald Trump has called off strikes against Iran. The precious metal extended its rally on news of a deal between Washington and Tehran. With tensions easing, the outlook for Gold is improving. After dropping 18% from its highs and hitting its lowest level since November 2025, investors are once again seeing reasons for optimism.
Since the start of the geopolitical conflict, the precious metal has moved in the opposite direction to oil, so the fall in Brent has allowed gold to find its footing. Higher energy prices heighten the risks of inflation becoming entrenched at elevated levels and increase the likelihood of the Fed tightening monetary policy. This creates a headwind for gold, whilst the end of the conflict in the Middle East becomes a tailwind.
The precious metal’s rebound is being driven by US stock indices returning to record highs. The history of gold’s transformation into a risky asset dates back to 2025. At that time, gold prices jumped by 65%, whilst the New York Stock Exchange mining index rose by a record 155%. Gold can also serve as a source of liquidity, with investors selling it during stock market downturns to meet margin requirements.
Another factor set to drive gold's growth is increased demand for bullion from central banks. According to the WGC, 45% of the 76 central banks that responded to the survey plan to buy gold over the next 12 months. This is a record high since such surveys began in 2018. In emerging markets, this figure stands at 53%.
Taken together, easing tensions in the Middle East, lower oil prices, a reduced likelihood of further Fed tightening in 2026, stronger equity markets and robust central bank demand are creating a more supportive backdrop for gold, potentially paving the way for a broader recovery in prices.
The technical picture also favours the bulls, showing a striking surge in buying activity from the 61.8% Fibonacci support level of the 2022–2025 rally. Further confirmation of the reversal comes from the bounce off the 50-week moving average, which turned sharply upwards after slipping at the start of June.
Summary: Gold is rebounding as Middle East tensions ease, oil prices fall, Fed tightening risks fade, equities strengthen, and central bank demand supports recovery. (FxPro)

Crypto: growth without the euphoria
Market Overview
The crypto market capitalisation rose to $2.3 trillion by the end of Monday, before falling back to $2.27 trillion at the time of writing. The market recovery trend continues, but the relatively cautious pace of growth suggests we are far from euphoria. This looks more like a phase of asset consolidation by major players, which means the rally will have to wait a while. Among the most active coins, the growth leaders were Stellar (+14.8%), Uniswap (+14.2%) and Aave (+7%). The underperformers were Toncoin (-5.6%), Official Trump (-3.3%) and The Graph (-3.2%).
Bitcoin is trading near $66.3K, up just under 1% over the past 24 hours, but some distance from Monday’s intraday highs, which were approximately $1K higher. The price rise is occurring within a channel that formed 10 days ago. On Monday, the price confirmed this channel by touching and pulling back from its upper boundary, but it remains at the top of the range. Provided the positive momentum continues, we see the $68K area (the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level) as the nearest technical resistance to price growth. A more distant signal of market strength would be a firm consolidation above the 50-day moving average, which currently exceeds $73K.
News Background
CryptoQuant notes that inflows of bitcoins to crypto exchanges from long-term holders have reached their lowest level since 2015. Selling pressure is easing, and the number of bitcoins held by long-term holders has reached a new all-time high of 15.8 million BTC.
Relai expects Bitcoin’s bearish trend to end once the phase of major investment in artificial intelligence concludes. Capital may begin to flow back into the leading cryptocurrency as early as next year.
Strategy purchased an additional 1,587 BTC last week for $100 million at an average price of $63K per coin. The company now holds 846,842 BTC, purchased for $64.1 billion at an average price of $75.6K per Bitcoin.
BitMine has increased its Ethereum holdings to 5.62 million ETH, having purchased approximately 0.08 million ETH over the past week. BitMine’s reserves have reached 4.66%, with plans to acquire 5% of the Ethereum supply.
Summary: The crypto market is rising cautiously with no signs of euphoria; Bitcoin is holding within a 10-day channel, while selling pressure is easing. (FxPro)

The feature, a hit in the first three games, was dropped in UFC 4 and 5 for rotating classes but returns alongside revamped fighter ratings and Flow State perks to mix up matchups.

Gold Movie
Gold is a 2016 American epic crime drama film directed by Stephen Gaghan and written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Édgar Ramírez, Bryce Dallas Howard, Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell, Craig T. Nelson, Stacy Keach and Bruce Greenwood. The film is loosely based on the true story of the 1997 Bre-X mining scandal, when a massive gold deposit was supposedly discovered in the jungles of Indonesia; however, for legal reasons and to enhance the appeal of the film, character names and story details were changed.

News Flashback
Early 2026
January and March
Streaming Wars
The "Streaming Wars" refers to the intense competition among digital media platforms to dominate the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) market by capturing and retaining global audiences.
As of early 2026, the landscape has shifted from a period of rapid expansion into a phase of major consolidation and a focus on profitability over subscriber volume.
The "Winner" and Current State (2026)
Netflix Dominance: Industry analysts increasingly cite Netflix as the victor. In January 2026, Netflix reported 18% year-over-year revenue growth and is currently pursuing a high-stakes $83 billion all-cash acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming assets (including HBO/Max).
The "Big 3": Despite fierce competition, the market is primarily dominated by Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.
YouTube's Rise: Some experts argue YouTube is the true winner of the broader attention economy, surpassing traditional streaming services in total viewership by pivoting back to user-generated content.
Key Strategies in 2026
Consolidation: Smaller or struggling services are being shuttered or merged. For example, Disney recently shut down Hulu as a standalone service.
Monetization Shifts: Platforms have moved away from "growth at all costs" to strategies like password-sharing crackdowns, ad-supported tiers, and price hikes.
Live Sports & Events: Services are increasingly bidding on live sports rights (e.g., Netflix hosting WWE's Raw starting in 2025) to differentiate their offerings.
Bundling: To combat "subscription fatigue," platforms are forming strategic partnerships with telecommunications companies and banks to offer bundled service hubs.
Consumer Impact
Price Hikes: Many consumers are canceling services due to rising costs; over 40% of Americans cited price as their primary reason for unsubscribing in late 2025.
Resurgence of Piracy: Fragmented content and high costs have led to a significant comeback for pirate sites, which some users now find more comprehensive than paid services.
"South Park: The Streaming Wars": The term was popularized in mainstream culture by a 2-part South Park special released on Paramount+ in 2022, which satirized the industry's aggressive competition.

Gold (1974)
Gold is a 1974 British action-thriller directed by Peter R. Hunt, starring Roger Moore and Susannah York. Based on the 1970 novel Gold Mine by Wilbur Smith, the film is set in the South African goldfields and follows a conspiracy by a global syndicate to manipulate the price of gold by sabotaging a rich mine.
Plot: Rod Slater (Moore), a newly appointed general manager, is manipulated by his boss, Manfred Steyner (Bradford Dillman), into drilling through a protective barrier into a subterranean lake. This is intended to flood the mine, causing a global gold shortage and driving up prices for a greedy cabal.
Production Controversy: The film was controversially shot on location in South Africa during the apartheid era. This led to a "black ban" by British film unions, though some crew members defied it to work on the production.
James Bond Connection: Many crew members were veterans of the James Bond franchise, including director Peter Hunt (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), editor John Glen, and title designer Maurice Binder.
Accolades: The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Wherever Love Takes Me," composed by Elmer Bernstein and sung by Maureen McGovern.

Lyrics
Thank you for coming home I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn I left them here, I could have sworn These are my salad days Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today Oh, but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you
Nothing left to make me feel small Luck has left me standing so tall
Thank you for coming home I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today Oh but I'm proud of you but I'm proud of you
Nothing left to make me feel small Luck has left me standing so tall

Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in
'Cause you are
Gold (gold)
Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible Always believin'
Oh after the rush has gone I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the face You knew that he was there on the case Now he's in love with you he's in love with you
My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall
Gold (gold)
Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in 'Cause you are

Gold: has it bottomed out at $4,300
Gold is trying to find a bottom, bracing for the US CPI release
China continues to buy gold for the 19th consecutive month
The US dollar retreated after Israel and Iran announced a ceasefire. Donald Trump urged them not to shoot at each other. Nevertheless, the adversaries reserve the right to resume hostilities, keeping tensions high in the Middle East, which supports the greenback as a safe-haven asset.
Investors are fixated on Donald Trump’s determination to strike a deal with Tehran at any cost and are using the positive news to buy EURUSD. However, according to BMO Capital Markets, headlines are noise, whilst regime change is the signal. Oil prices will not collapse following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and high US inflation is set to persist for some time. The new administration will force the Fed to raise rates and make the US dollar the favourite in the forex market. The firm recommends buying the greenback against the euro, the pound and the yen.
This reasoning holds. With low unemployment and a tight labour market, any acceleration in US economic growth will lead to higher wages. This will push consumer prices upwards and prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy. The federal funds rate could be raised even now. Inflation has long exceeded the 2% target, and the labour market is at its strongest since 2024.
The prospect of the Fed moving towards monetary tightening, combined with rising oil prices due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, has pushed gold back to levels seen at the start of 2026. The precious metal has wiped out all its gains this year due to the strengthening US dollar and rising Treasury bond yields.
Even active buying by central banks is failing to help gold bulls. The People’s Bank of China increased its reserves by 320,000 ounces in May, having purchased gold continuously for 19 months. This is the longest such streak since 2015, when regular publication of these statistics began.
The next test for gold will be the May US inflation report. Consumer prices are expected to rise from 3.8% to 4.2%, and core CPI from 2.8% to 2.9%. Such trends will increase the likelihood of the Fed tightening monetary policy and put pressure on gold.
Summary: Gold is under pressure from a strong dollar and expectations of accelerating US inflation. Even Chinese buying is not helping: the increased likelihood of a Fed rate hike is heightening the risks of a decline. (FxPro)

Saudi Arabia step up push for direct flights to Australia
Australian cattle exporters have had to contend with limited access to air freight to countries in the Persian Gulf region since the Iran war began, as well as higher frieght costs. However, Saudia Cargo will shortly commence direct flights to Avalon Airport in Victoria and the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport in Queensland. Australia Saudi Business Council chairman Sam Jamsheedi says this will allow fresh meat from Australia to arrive in Saudi Arabia within 14 hours.

Bitcoin is losing the confidence of major holders
Market Overview
The crypto market capitalisation has been rapidly shrinking since the start of the new week, falling by 5% to $2.38 trillion, its lowest level since early April. It appears that confidence in the prospects of cryptocurrency has fallen sharply following reports of a largely symbolic BTC sale from Strategy’s balance sheet, which may be followed by more active selling from other holders. We also cannot rule out an ‘Iranian connection’, as reports of seizures of Iranian cryptocurrency undermine the notion of anonymity and untraceability that has long underpinned the crypto market. The solid performance of supposedly anonymous coins fits neatly into this hypothesis. Thus, over the past 24 hours, the top performers have been NEAR Protocol (+14.8%), Internet Computer (+10.2%) and Zcash (+5%). The three worst performers are Stellar (-13.2%), Basic Attention Token (-10%) and Bitcoin (-4.3%).
Bitcoin is accelerating its decline, having fallen to $69K, even though it started the week just above $74K. As expected, the drop below the 50-day moving average a week ago followed more than a week of selling pressure at that level. Technically, the leading cryptocurrency faces relatively few obstacles on its way down to the $65-66K range, but further down, longer-term support may come into play, having halted the decline in February and March.
News Background
According to CoinShares, global investment in crypto funds fell by $1.671 billion last week, marking the largest outflow since January. Investments in Bitcoin fell by $1.438 billion (the largest outflow from BTC this year), in Ethereum by $257 million, in Solana by $1 million, and in Sui by $1 million. Investments in altcoins rose by $20 million in XRP, $11 million in Hyperliquid, and $8 million in Near.
Sentiment towards Bitcoin on social media has reached its most positive level since the start of the year, despite the crypto market’s decline in May, Santiment notes. In the past, such surges in optimism have often coincided with local highs in the asset’s price.
Strategy has sold Bitcoin for the first time since 2022. Last week, 32 BTC were sold for approximately $2.5 million at an average price of $77,135 per coin. The largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, which had previously promised never to sell the asset, will use the proceeds to pay dividends on preference shares.
As a result of the latest adjustment, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty rose by 1.72% to 138.96 T. The figure has returned to its April highs.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has renamed the cryptocurrency Toncoin (TON) to Gram (GRAM), describing the rebranding as a return to its roots. The blockchain will retain the name TON (The Open Network). No action is required from token holders.
Summary: Bitcoin accelerated its decline towards $69K amid a record outflow from crypto funds and Strategy’s first BTC sale since 2022, heightening fears among large holders. (FxPro)

Gold Movie
Gold is a 2016 American epic crime drama film directed by Stephen Gaghan and written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Édgar Ramírez, Bryce Dallas Howard, Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell, Craig T. Nelson, Stacy Keach and Bruce Greenwood. The film is loosely based on the true story of the 1997 Bre-X mining scandal, when a massive gold deposit was supposedly discovered in the jungles of Indonesia; however, for legal reasons and to enhance the appeal of the film, character names and story details were changed.

Getting the gold was hard, but keeping it would be even harder, sparking an adventure through the most powerful boardrooms of Wall Street. The film is inspired by a true story.
News Flashback
Early 2026
January and March
Streaming Wars
The "Streaming Wars" refers to the intense competition among digital media platforms to dominate the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) market by capturing and retaining global audiences.
As of early 2026, the landscape has shifted from a period of rapid expansion into a phase of major consolidation and a focus on profitability over subscriber volume.
The "Winner" and Current State (2026)
Netflix Dominance: Industry analysts increasingly cite Netflix as the victor. In January 2026, Netflix reported 18% year-over-year revenue growth and is currently pursuing a high-stakes $83 billion all-cash acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming assets (including HBO/Max).
The "Big 3": Despite fierce competition, the market is primarily dominated by Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.
YouTube's Rise: Some experts argue YouTube is the true winner of the broader attention economy, surpassing traditional streaming services in total viewership by pivoting back to user-generated content.
Key Strategies in 2026
Consolidation: Smaller or struggling services are being shuttered or merged. For example, Disney recently shut down Hulu as a standalone service.
Monetization Shifts: Platforms have moved away from "growth at all costs" to strategies like password-sharing crackdowns, ad-supported tiers, and price hikes.
Live Sports & Events: Services are increasingly bidding on live sports rights (e.g., Netflix hosting WWE's Raw starting in 2025) to differentiate their offerings.
Bundling: To combat "subscription fatigue," platforms are forming strategic partnerships with telecommunications companies and banks to offer bundled service hubs.
Consumer Impact
Price Hikes: Many consumers are canceling services due to rising costs; over 40% of Americans cited price as their primary reason for unsubscribing in late 2025.
Resurgence of Piracy: Fragmented content and high costs have led to a significant comeback for pirate sites, which some users now find more comprehensive than paid services.
"South Park: The Streaming Wars": The term was popularized in mainstream culture by a 2-part South Park special released on Paramount+ in 2022, which satirized the industry's aggressive competition.

Gold (1974)
Gold is a 1974 British action-thriller directed by Peter R. Hunt, starring Roger Moore and Susannah York. Based on the 1970 novel Gold Mine by Wilbur Smith, the film is set in the South African goldfields and follows a conspiracy by a global syndicate to manipulate the price of gold by sabotaging a rich mine.
Plot: Rod Slater (Moore), a newly appointed general manager, is manipulated by his boss, Manfred Steyner (Bradford Dillman), into drilling through a protective barrier into a subterranean lake. This is intended to flood the mine, causing a global gold shortage and driving up prices for a greedy cabal.
Production Controversy: The film was controversially shot on location in South Africa during the apartheid era. This led to a "black ban" by British film unions, though some crew members defied it to work on the production.
James Bond Connection: Many crew members were veterans of the James Bond franchise, including director Peter Hunt (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), editor John Glen, and title designer Maurice Binder.
Accolades: The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Wherever Love Takes Me," composed by Elmer Bernstein and sung by Maureen McGovern.

Terry Steyner: Susannah York
Hurry Hirschfeld: Ray Milland

Best Quotes Of The Day
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Dr. Seuss
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. Dr. Seuss
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Dr. Seuss
News/Bio
Dr. Seuss was the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel, a renowned American author, illustrator, and cartoonist celebrated for his imaginative children's books and playful use of language. His work has had a lasting impact on children's literacy and includes some of the most popular children's books of all time.
Biography
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He attended Dartmouth College, where he began using the pen name "Seuss" after being caught drinking gin during Prohibition and forced to resign from his role as editor-in-chief of the college humor magazine. He later added the "Dr." to his pen name as a playful nod to his father's wish for him to practice medicine, though he never earned a doctorate degree.
Before becoming a full-time children's author, Geisel worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns (including the famous "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" bug spray ads) and as a political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM during World War II. His experiences in the U.S. Army animation department during the war, where he won an Academy Award for the documentary feature Design for Death (1947), helped hone his storytelling and animation skills.
News/Profile
Born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, he adopted the pen name "Dr. Seuss" during his time at Dartmouth College (and later Oxford), where he contributed to humor magazines. He wasn't actually a doctor—the "Dr." was playful!
He started his career in advertising and political cartooning before revolutionizing children's literature. His first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937), was rejected 27 times before publication. He went on to write and illustrate more than 60 books, famous for their whimsical rhymes, inventive language, quirky characters, and often sneaky life lessons.
Some of his most iconic works include:The Cat in the Hat (1957) — Written to address concerns about boring early readers, it features that mischievous, hat-wearing feline.
Green Eggs and Ham (1960) — Famously written using only 50 unique words as a bet.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957) — The grumpy green grouch who learns about the true spirit of the holidays.
The Lorax (1971) — An environmental fable with the memorable line "I speak for the trees."
Oh, the Places You'll Go! (1990) — Often given as a graduation or life-advice gift.
His books have sold over 600 million copies worldwide, been translated into more than 20 languages, and inspired countless adaptations (movies, TV specials, stage shows). He received a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for his contribution to children's education and enjoyment.
Geisel passed away on September 24, 1991, in La Jolla, California, at age 87, but his imaginative world lives on through official sites like Seussville, museums, and endless reprints.

Best Quotes Of The Day

"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights" Muhammad Ali

"War of the Worlds"
Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki
June 26, 1976
The June 26, 1976, "War of the Worlds" match between boxer Muhammad Ali and wrestler Antonio Inoki in Tokyo ended in a controversial 15-round draw. It was a bizarre, early precursor to mixed martial arts where Inoki spent most of the fight on his back kicking Ali’s legs, resulting in significant damage to Ali and a lack of action.
Key Details of the Match:
Context: Held at the Nippon Budokan, this was a $6 million spectacle (approx. $40 million today) pitting the world's best boxer against a Japanese wrestling icon.
Rules: The rules were heavily restricted, causing frustration. Inoki was limited in his ability to use grappling, while Ali was limited to boxing. This allowed Inoki to stay on the ground and relentlessly kick Ali's legs.
Outcome: The match was a 15-round draw, with many fans at the time finding it boring, though it is now viewed as an early, significant step toward modern MMA.
Aftermath: Ali sustained significant injuries to his legs from the kicks, which some reports suggested nearly led to amputation and affected his movement in later fights.
Legacy: Known as a "bizarre spectacle," it nevertheless paved the way for future interdisciplinary fights.
The Match Outcome
Result: The 15-round bout ended in a draw.
Scoring: One judge scored for Ali, one for Inoki, and the referee (Gene LeBell) scored it a tie (71–71).
Stats: Ali threw only six punches during the entire fight, while Inoki landed over 100 kicks to Ali's legs.
Special Rules & Strategy
The fight was defined by highly restrictive, last-minute rule changes intended to protect Ali from being grappled or thrown.
Restricted Grappling: Inoki was forbidden from throwing, tackling, or grappling with Ali.
Kicking Limit: Inoki could only kick Ali if he had one knee on the mat.
Inoki’s "Crab" Tactic: To comply with the rules while remaining offensive, Inoki spent most of the fight sliding on his back, launching low kicks at Ali’s shins and thighs.
Impact and Legacy
Injuries: Ali suffered severe leg bruising and two blood clots, which nearly led to an amputation and permanently affected his mobility in later boxing matches.
Public Reception: Fans were initially disappointed, with some throwing garbage into the ring and demanding refunds due to the lack of action.
MMA Foundation: Despite the negative immediate reaction, the event proved that different combat styles could be matched under a unified ruleset, directly inspiring the founders of early MMA organisations like Pancrase and PRIDE.
Friendship: Following the bout, Ali and Inoki became lifelong friends; Inoki even adopted Ali's theme music ("Ali Bom-Ba-Ye") as his own entrance theme.
