After a rule recently imposed by Israel, however, I’m no longer allowed to lend my medical expertise to help in Gaza. The medical mission I was part of, sponsored by an aid group called ‘FAJR’ Scientific, took place at the European Gaza hospital in Khan Younis, a facility that has since been evacuated. AFP/Getty ImagesI was born in a refugee camp in Gaza four years into the first Palestinian Intifada. Israeli policy has made giving back impossible, however. The denial of a Palestinian doctor’s right to volunteer — in the process hindering the delivery of humanitarian efforts — is an affront.

The 14-time Grammy winner and 3-time Super Bowl champion arrived at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday in looks that were designed to achieve different things. Taylor Swift arrived in a decidedly more muted look, finished off by lashings of sentimental jewellery – including her '87' necklace in honor of Kelce's jersey number. While this was his fourth Super Bowl game in four years, he must have felt the additional eyes — mainly of the Swifties and the style press — on him. “We were thinking, this is the first Super Bowl in Las Vegas, so why not really let it represent that entertainment feel that Vegas is known for, and let him shine a bit.” Perhaps more crucially, it’s also his first Super Bowl as the boyfriend of a global superstar. Rapper Ice Spice, Donna Kelce, NFL player Jason Kelce, singer Taylor Swift and actress Blake Lively watch the game from Allegiant Stadium.

☆ Gold drops below $2,000 as dollar gains, US yields pare losses
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-22 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Gold prices fell below the key $2,000 per ounce level on Wednesday as the U.S. dollar rebounded from lows and Treasury yields pared losses, while expectations that the Federal Reserve will pause rate hikes limited the slide in bullion. Lower interest rates typically boost gold prices as they reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. "The increase in the markets expectations for Fed cutting cycle to commence earlier in 2024 has been the prime force driving gold prices higher over the last week," said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities. Fed officials agreed at their last policy meeting that they would proceed "carefully" and only raise interest rates if progress in controlling inflation faltered, minutes of the Oct. 31-Nov. 1 gathering showed. In other metals, spot silver fell 0.4% to $23.66 per ounce.

U.S. consumer prices were unchanged in October and underlying inflation showed signs of slowing. We are expecting a significant deterioration in the data over the course of the fourth quarter, which should weaken dollar and support gold," said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities.

U.S. asset manager Fidelity International is highlighting China's looser monetary policy and the government's recent 1 trillion yuan ($137.10 billion) borrowing-and-spending sovereign bond plan as a tailwind for the country's stock markets. London-based £3 billion fund manager Somerset Capital Management likewise finds China exciting. The stock market has yet to recover, but has stabilised. Morgan Stanley estimates long-only foreign investors now have their deepest underweight positions in China and Hong Kong equities in years.

"This conflict is escalating fast," said Ulf Laessing, the Bamako-based head of the Sahel programme at the Konrad Adenauer foundation. Back in 2012, French forces and the U.N. intervened to halt the advance in Mali. In Mali, fighting began in August between the army and an ethnic Tuareg group called the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) around a base vacated by the U.N. "The problem is Mali has too few troops and too little mobility," said Michael Shurkin, director of global programs at 14 North Strategies consultancy.

The large influxes caught Europe off guard, as if it had forgotten that many of these countries were just across the Mediterranean.

☆ Gold slips as dollar advances with US debt talks dragging on

Gold slipped as the dollar firmed, cutting some safe- haven flows into bullion from the looming risk of a U.S. debt default as talks entered a critical stretch. "Overwhelmingly, the debt ceiling headlines are at play.... Gold gained in the previous session "despite headwinds from a rising broad dollar, which reveals notable demand behind the scenes." Wall Street's main indexes opened lower as the debt ceiling impasse kept investors on edge. If regional U.S. banking troubles were to subside and agreement reached over the debt ceiling, gold could fall further, said Edward Gardner, commodities economist at Capital Economics.

REUTERS/Alexander ManzyukGold made another run toward record highs on Thursday as U.S. banking concerns accelerated a flight to the safe-haven asset and sustained its stellar rally driven by bets for a pause in U.S. rate hikes. Spot gold was up 0.3% at $2,045.79 per ounce after climbing earlier to $2,072.19, shy of a record high of $2,072.49. The Fed Funds target rate stands in the 5%-5.25% range, with markets expecting rate cuts in the second half of the year. In physical markets, lofty prices have tarnished gold demand in top Asian retail hubs.

U.S. consumer spending plateaued in March, a sign that Americans may have become more averse to higher prices, data released last week showed. In Europe, stocks saw net buying by hedge funds for a fourth straight month in April, driven mainly by hedge funds buying to exit short positions in macro economic sectors, the Goldman Sachs note said. Goldman added that developed markets in Asia, especially Japan, saw net buying from hedge funds. Japanese stocks saw net buying by hedge funds for a fourth straight month and the largest level of notional net buying in two years, the note said. Global hedge funds that focus on buying and selling stocks posted a 0.58% increase in asset weighted returns, said the note.

☆ Gold retreats to weekly loss on hawkish Fed

Gold fell sharply on Friday and was headed for its worst week in eight as hawkish remarks by U.S. Federal Reserve officials through the week bolstered bets for at least one more interest rate hike and buoyed the dollar. Spot gold dropped 1.4% to $1,976.27 per ounce by 12:18 p.m. U.S. gold futures fell 1.5% to $1,987.10. Bullion has shed about 1.2% so far this week, pressured by the dollar's gains overall, which made bullion more expensive for overseas buyers. Markets now see an 89% chance of a 25-basis point rate hike at the Fed's May 2-3 meeting.

LONDON, March 14 (Reuters) - The health of the global banking sector as interest rates rise remained in the spotlight on Tuesday in the wake of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). But days of wild swings in global markets and hefty losses in bank shares, left the outlook for the sector in focus. Banks are now faced with the classic problem that has threatened banks throughout history: a mismatch in terms between assets and liabilities." Hopefully we'll go over the next few days, whether or not the financial system is going to calm down or not. "It’s been an indiscriminate sell off in banking stocks, the financial sector repriced everywhere.

[1/3] The border fence between Morocco and Spain's north African enclave Melilla is seen along a road, December 11, 2014. Bilateral trade rose to 17 billion euros in 2022, making Spain Morocco's biggest trade partner. The disputes underscore Spain's dependence on Morocco to control migration by Moroccans and sub-Saharan Africans seeking to cross the European Union's southernmost border. Some observers say the drop in migration could prove temporary and that Spain remains too dependent on Morocco. For a sustained fall in migration, Spain needs more cooperation with Morocco when it comes to repatriating illegal Moroccan migrants, said Blanca Garces, senior researcher in migration at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs.

☆ Gold eases as dollar ticks up, but set for fifth weekly rise

Meat bans, soaring gold prices and Britain voting to 'un–Brexit' could be on the cards for 2023, according to Saxo's Outrageous Predictions. Gold prices edged lower on Friday as the dollar firmed, although hopes of slower rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve kept bullion on track for its fifth straight weekly gain. "The U.S. dollar is finding some form of stability and in turn we could see gold prices heading lower into next week," said Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities. Gold tends to gain when rate hike expectations recede because lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. While there here has been an accumulation of gold by various central banks and agencies, gold ETFs held by individuals have been decreasing.

☆ Hedge funds in 2022 post worst performance since 2018, dragged down by equities -HFR data

Overall, hedge funds fell 4.25% last year, according to the HFRI 500 Fund Weighted Composite Index, which tracks many of the biggest global hedge fund performances. Equity hedge funds notched the worst performance in 2022 among the four main hedge funds categories tracked by HFR. Despite their massive losses, crypto hedge funds account for a tiny part of the industry's $3.8 trillion in assets. Macro hedge funds outperformed the industry, HFR showed. Macro hedge funds trade globally a broad range of assets, such as bonds, currencies, rates, stocks and commodities.

HONG KONG, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Asia's hedge funds are heading for their worst showing in a dozen years, with long-short stockpickers wrongfooted by volatility in China, while macro strategy funds riding big global shifts in interest rates shine. On average, Asian hedge funds fared better than the indexes, losing 9.1% through to end-November, Eurekahedge data showed. By strategy, Asia equity long-short funds lost 12% and Greater China long-short funds lost 14%, while Asia macro funds rose 12% and Asia multi-strategy rose 1%. Big picture macro funds, which trade on economic and political shifts, also performed well, as U.S.-China tension and rising interest rates roiled financial markets. Long positions in U.S. government debt and the Singapore dollar also helped through November when many macro managers were caught out by a sudden drop in the U.S. dollar.

În prezent, marocanii din oraşele din jurul exclavelor pot intra fără vize, dar au nevoie de viză pentru a călători pe cale aeriană sau maritimă în Spania continentală sau în alte ţări din spaţiul Schengen. Intenţia guvernului spaniol survine pe fondul unei dispute cu Marocul în legătură cu Sahara Occidentală, fostă colonie spaniolă considerată „teritoriu non-autonom” de către ONU în absenţa unei reglementări definitive, şi asupra căreia Marocul revendică suveranitatea, relatează Reuters, citată de Digi24. Şefa diplomaţiei spaniole a refuzat să comenteze cu privire la această dispută, spunând că ministerul său lucrează „în condiţii de discreţie”. Relaţiile diplomatice dintre cele două state s-au tensionat după ce Spania l-a primit, la sfârşitul lunii aprilie, pe şeful Frontului Polisario (mişcarea de independenţă din Sahara occidentală), Brahim Ghali, venit pentru tratament medical.

Premierul spaniol Pedro Sanchez a promis marţi că va restabili ordinea în enclava Ceuta, unde peste 6.000 de migranţi au pătruns în ultimele două zile venind dinspre Maroc, pe fondul unei crize diplomatice majore între această ţară şi Spania, relatează agenţiile AFP şi EFE. ''Vom restabili ordinea în oraş şi la frontierele noastre cât mai rapid posibil'', a spus într-o scurtă alocuţiune televizată şeful guvernului spaniol, înainte de a pleca în Ceuta şi Melilla, cele două enclave spaniole din nordul Marocului şi singurele frontiere terestre ale Africii cu Uniunea Europeană. ''Acest aflux brusc de migranţi ilegali este o gravă criză pentru Spania şi pentru Europa'', a adăugat Sanchez.Potrivit jurnaliştilor AFP la faţa locului, de partea marocană a frontierei situaţia este confuză. ''Marocul este o ţară prietenă Spaniei şi aşa trebuie să rămână'', a mai spus premierul socialist spaniol, avertizând însă autorităţile marocane că va garanta integritatea teritorială a Spaniei ''cu toate mijloacele necesare''.În timp ce unii comentatori fac o legătură între acest val migrator şi criza diplomatică dintre Spania şi Maroc, în sensul că ar fi vorba despre represalii ale Marocului după găzduirea liderului Frontului Polisario în Spania, ministrul spaniol de externe Arancha Gonzalez Laya a declarat luni seară că responsabili marocani, pe care nu i-a numit, au asigurat Madridul că ceea ce se întâmplă în enclavele spaniole din nordul Marocului nu este un efect al dezacordului pe acest subiect.Statele Unite au recunoscut în decembrie suveranitatea Marocului asupra Saharei Occidentale.
