GTA 6 drops with an $80 base price and a $100 Ultimate Edition in the US, but depending on where you live, you're paying very differently.

Major asset managers are staying bullish on emerging markets, even with an active Iran conflict still not completely resolved.

The main thing driving all of this confidence: rising intra-EM trade. As incomes grow and urbanization accelerates across the developing world, local consumption is becoming a bigger growth engine on its own.

Your next MacBook just got more expensive. And geopolitics in the Gulf is part of why.

[Oasis Media Collective @OasisMediaColl]

It's a reminder that a regional conflict in the Gulf doesn't stay contained to the region. Helium supply chains are globally interconnected, and a disruption there can quietly show up in the price of a laptop or tablet thousands of miles away.
