A must-read piece by @Profitpk that goes into some detail about what is going on in the currency market.
Also, great job on the editor's note (see below).

A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL SITS IN A CHINESE CLASSROOM. IN FRONT OF HER IS A SMART BLACKBOARD POWERED BY AI. BEFORE SHE EVEN LIFTS HER PEN, IT ALREADY KNOWS WHICH PART OF THE LESSON SHE IS GOING TO STRUGGLE WITH. 🚨
In many schools around the world, that exact same tool would be treated as a threat and banned instantly to stop students from using AI.
Instead, this board watches all forty kids in the room. The moment a student looks confused, it catches the exact spot where they got stuck and explains it in a totally different way just for them.
Ask it a question, and it draws the answer right in front of you—a 3D cube spinning around, or math steps appearing one by one.
This is what China figured out before everyone else: AI in a classroom isn't a shortcut to punish. It is an essential co-teacher for a room where one human has to manage forty kids with only two eyes.
While other regions argue about whether AI ruins homework, that 14-year-old girl just had her entire lesson fixed around the exact thing she didn't understand.
One system trains its youth to hide AI in fear. China is teaching its youth to learn alongside it from day one.
Ten years from now, both groups will fight for the exact same jobs. Only one side grew up with an intelligent system that truly understood how they think.

Red Sea update: Bab el-Mandeb transits have halved rather than stopped, Yanbu crude is rerouting through Egypt to buyers from the Baltic to the US Gulf, and the empty tankers willing to sail back in will decide how long the reshuffle holds. @Kpler#OOTT
This is an infantile analysis. If China can build 100 warships for the price of 1 warship THE US builds you don’t hold their efficiencies against them. Esp when said country has entirely indigenous core value chains.
The real calculation to see economic might is Purchasing Power Parity PPP. This year’s IMF projections place China's PPP economy at $43.49 trillion against $31.82 trillion for the US.
The GDP increase of US is debt fuelled. 10 trillion dollars of debt was taken between 21-26z Also China is the largest trading partner of other countries that account for global GDP share decrease of China.
The reason for China’s dip is mostly a stronger Dollar and the fact that China was managing a property crisis. Notice China managed the property crisis. The US dented the whole world with its sub prime mortgage crisis.
The point that China is not as rich as US and implying that it will never catch the US in power is plain dishonest. The latter is an inevitability.
I love the World Cup. But the older I get, the more I realise it's about far more than football: each tournament tells us something about empire, migration, identity, power and the changing world. So: a few quick thoughts ! 1/5
📌JD Vance blasts Netanyahu's government:
“What bothers me is seeing people in Bibi’s cabinet attack the deal and, in some ways, personally attack the president. Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the world sympathetic to Israel at this moment.”
The man who just won Arsenal the Premier League title has one of the most unbelievable stories in football.
Mikel Arteta grew up in Spain.
At just 15 years old, he left home to join Barcelona after a successful trial.
He got a contract and shared the dressing room with players like Andrés Iniesta, Víctor Valdés, and many others.
He also became friends with a young Pep Guardiola.
But here is the shocking part.
Despite all his talent, Barcelona never really gave him a first-team chance.
He moved between clubs and eventually ended up at Everton and later Arsenal as a player, but he never won a single Premier League title during his playing career.
He also never played for the Spanish national team, despite representing Spain at every youth level up to under-21.
Then he retired and returned to work with Pep Guardiola as an assistant coach.
He had no experience as a head manager, yet Arsenal gave him the job in 2021 based only on belief and trust.
Three times he finished second in the Premier League.
Three times his heart was broken, and the hearts of Arsenal fans too.
But this season, he finally did it.
He became the first former Premier League player to return and win the title as a manager.
The boy who left home at 15, never won the league as a player, but finally lifted it as a manager.
What an unbelievable story. ❤️🏆🔥

These EV prince pearls/united bravos cannot solve the problem. They are extremely cheap and unreliable.
A common man will still prefer used Mehran/Cuore over these.
This is, so far, the best comment on Karachi being the food capital of Pakistan and the reason is diversity. People from all over Pakistan live here, while communities that settled here before Partition still keep their food traditions alive. From Parsis to Burmese, Iranians to Afghans, the city’s food carries flavours from everywhere. Nonetheless, Lahore’s food is also excellent. In the end, it all depends on how diverse your taste buds are.
And yes, Karachi’s coffee tastes pathetic.

Motasim bhai he took a crossover to an off road area. He probably hit it hard somewhere and I believe not telling the complete picture.
On the other hand jaecoo company also marketed it as an off roader which is false. This isn’t even all wheel drive vehicle. The corolla would have fared better here because it doesn’t have the wheel spin which jaecoo J7 has because of too much power going only to the front wheels.
People need to do research here. A raised vehicle doesn’t mean it’s an off roader.
This table, prepared and tweeted by energy expert @AsimRiaz1978, shows different pathways Pakistan and our neighbours India and Bangladesh took in light of rising energy costs. One benefit of passing on higher costs to consumers is that demand slows. However even that has not happened in Pakistan, due to hoarding by oil companies and petrol pumps. Also unlike our neighbours, our refineries have made huge profits, as also written by @AnsarAAbbasi in his article yesterday.
To summarise Asim sb’s findings, Pakistan has raised fuel prices by 50%, Bangladesh by 15% and India not at all.
This is why our inflation increased to 11% in April and SBP raised interest rates to 11.5%.
