History repeats: catastrophe creates winners and losers.
The winners are Nvidia, oil traders, and Asian tech tigers.
The losers are countries like the Philippines that never built anything worth owning when the boom arrives.

🚨 LATEST: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $425 million in net outflows on Monday, the largest single-day withdrawal so far this month.

US CPI inflation came in notably softer than expected across the board (Bloomberg table below).
This print should help temper what had become an excessively hawkish market tilt to the monetary policy outlook.
However, this softer print won't fully resolve the debate over the forward-looking relevance of these numbers (please see prior posts).

[Finansal Özgür @finozg]

Warren Buffett’a bir röportajda soruyorlar:

“Bir ev yerine 10 eviniz, iki araba yerine 10 arabanız olsaydı daha mutlu olur muydunuz?”

Cevabı net:

“Hayır. Hatta hayatımı daha karmaşık hale getirirdi.”

Sonra ekliyor:

“400 metrelik bir yatım olabilirdi. Ama o zaman onlarca kişilik mürettebatı yönetmek zorunda kalırdım. Bazıları çalardı, bazıları kavga ederdi. Ben gemi kaptanı olmak isteseydim başka bir meslek seçerdim.”

Çoğu insan zenginliği daha fazla şeye sahip olmak sanıyor.

Oysa gerçek zenginlik:

• İstemediğin şeyleri satın almak zorunda olmamak,
• İstemediğin insanlarla çalışmak zorunda olmamak,
• Zamanını istediğin gibi kullanabilmek.

Finansal özgürlüğün özü tam olarak budur.

Sizce gerçek zenginlik para miktarı mı, yoksa zamanını kontrol edebilmek mi?

(Charlie Rose, 2009)

The Philippine government has consistently operated as an agent that prioritizes short-term consumer pacification over long-term agricultural sovereign strategy. We have spent decades underfunding rural logistics, ignoring domestic fertilizer production capacity, and treating import dependence as a virtue rather than a vulnerability.

@mangunonmarkets Sir John, How might the re-entry of Binance affect the performance of the PSE?

[Binance @binance]

We are excited to support the Philippine SEC’s StratBox initiative through our partnership with BlockShoals.

Frameworks like StratBox matter because they create space for innovation, dialogue, and stronger safeguards for users — all at the same time.

Looking forward to contributing to the Philippines’ growing digital asset ecosystem 🇵🇭

That Philippine April inflation print was nasty: 7.2% - highest in three years, above every single forecast, and more than triple the inflation rate at the start of the year

[April Tan @AprilLeeTan]

April inflation significantly hotter than expected at 7.2% vs. 5.5% consensus estimate & 4.1% in March. This may cause to BSP to turn even more hawkish and raise rates further.
