Gold’s recent pullback is raising important questions.
Is gold still an effective hedge? What does this move signal for broader markets and for portfolio construction in 2026?
This isn’t just about gold. It’s about navigating a market environment where volatility and correlations are behaving differently.

For 30 years, Japan had the most liquid government bond market in the developed world.
That changed this week.
The Bloomberg JGB Liquidity Index spiked to levels approaching the UK's 2022 gilt crisis. Consecutive 20-year auctions failed. Electronic trading has become difficult due to one-sided selling.
🔥The trigger: PM Takaichi's ¥21.3 trillion stimulus and snap election on Feb 8.
For a nation at 260% debt-to-GDP, bond vigilantes responded as they did to the UK.
40-year yields breached 4% for the first time in three decades. 10-year yields hit a 27-year high.

Wondering what small caps are and why are they back in the spotlight? We got you!

Not just advice - architecture. Because #wealth isn’t built on tips and #trends. It’s built on #structure, discipline, and #global perspective. This is why @kristal_ai exists : for the "in-between millionaires"

If you’re sitting on $500K–$5M in #Singapore, #London, or #NYC. You’re not “just starting out.” But you’re not #financially free either. This is the blind spot traditional advice ignores. #Assetallocation might be the single biggest unlock between “doing well” and “being free.”
We call this the In-Between Millionaire.
In Part 1 of our 3-part series, we unpack how the right structure matters more than the right stocks. Read the full piece 👉 https://t.co/WvY20lNzbA
