Corporate pay at the top is accelerating globally, but for most workers, progress is far slower. A new report by Oxfam shows that in 2025, CEO compensation grew nearly 20 times faster than employee wages.

Wall Street is witnessing an unprecedented surge in semiconductor stocks. Driven by the AI boom, chipmakers have rapidly gained market dominance, echoing patterns last seen during the dot-com era. With valuations soaring and a single sector commanding a huge share, markets now face a big test. In the next news in numbers report, we break it down.


AI Boom: The Largest Asset Bubble in History

The Iran war is disrupting global fertiliser supplies. Key shipping routes are under strain, delaying urea exports and choking trade flows. Production in the gulf has dropped sharply, while vessels remain stuck near ports. With limited storage, producers risk shutdowns, further tightening supply. In the next news in numbers report, we break down the impact on global fertiliser markets. Take a look.


Fertiliser Chaos: Which Regions Are at the Most Risk

South Korea’s stock market has emerged as on of the standout performers in 2026. It has dramatically outpaced its regional peers and left other emerging markets like India trailing behind.


AI Boom Takes South Korea's Kospi to New Highs

Oil extended gains to the highest since 2022, surging past 120 dollars per barrel on Thursday as the US-Iran stalemate showed any signs of easing anytime soon.
The over two-month-long conflict remains in a stalemate with energy and other supplies through the critical Strait of Hormuz at a standstill.
That has led to fuel rationing across much of Asia and Africa and fears of a global economic slowdown.

Oil's Wild Moves

The gulf war has disrupted global oil supplies with key export routes under strain, producers are being forced to reroute crude through limited pipeline networks and alternative ports. But these options come with hard capacity limits, leaving a significant chunk of production stranded.
As a result, a large volume of oil is being forced offline. In the next news in numbers report we breakdown the supply loss caused due to the war. Take a look.

Gulf Crude Production Shut-in Math

US Federal Reserve chief, Jerome Powell's final press conference did not rock the boat. But he and a majority of FED policymakers erred a bit on the hawkish side given the lack of progress in the gulf. So, at his swan song meeting as fed boss, Powell once again carried an anti-Trump crescendo.


Powell's Last Dance Carries Anti-Trump Crescendo

With every day the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continue, the global impacts and economic fall-out increase.
The fate of the world economy now depends on whether, and when a real ceasefire emerges, the stalemate holds, or the conflict widens.

Historic Energy Crisis From Hormuz Closure

Oil remained above 110 dollars per barrel on Wednesday as the Trump administration mulled a response to Iran’s latest proposal.
The two-month-long conflict remains in a stalemate with energy and other supplies through the critical strait of Hormuz at a standstill.
That has LED to fuel rationing across much of Asia and Africa and fears of a global economic slowdown.

Oil markets remain on edge as the United States–Iran conflict continues to create uncertainty despite a fragile ceasefire. Prices have been swinging sharply as investors struggle to assess supply risks, especially with disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz.

With energy flows impacted and no clear resolution in sight, volatility is becoming the defining theme for global oil markets. We discuss the outlook with market expert Ajay Bagga and what it means for investors and economies worldwide.

Oil Prices Remain Volatile Amid Uncertainity

As US-Iran tensions drag on, a critical question is emerging: is Iran running out of oil storage capacity?

With peace talks stalled and crude flows disrupted, the ability to store unsold oil could become a decisive factor. While Donald Trump insists the US can outlast Iran, Tehran maintains it still holds key leverage in the standoff.

The battle may not just be military or diplomatic—but logistical and economic.

Is Iran Running Out Of Oil Storage Space? 

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has signaled that Iran holds significant leverage in its standoff with the West, countering claims by Donald Trump that Washington has the upper hand.

In a symbolic and strategic message, Iran points to its ability to disrupt global energy markets, particularly through supply-side pressure, while the US relies on demand management and economic tools. The geopolitical “cards” narrative highlights the deeper power struggle shaping global markets.

Iran's Side Cards Vs The West's Cards

Prediction Markets' Manipulation Problem Deepens

China’s gold demand is accelerating at a rapid pace as global geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing war risks push investors and central banks toward safe-haven assets. Gold imports have surged to their strongest levels in a year, while official reserves continue climbing to record highs. This trend reflects a broader shift in global asset allocation, where central banks are increasing diversification away from traditional currencies amid rising financial instability.


China’s Gold Imports And Central Bank Buying Rising Sharply
