Hey folks, since Bluesky seems to be becoming a thing, I thought I'd introduce myself.

I work as a financial journalist at Bloomberg in London and write murder mysteries set in India. In my spare time, I follow the Arsenal and unwind on my PS5.

Say hello 👋
Do you see a world where Hincapie and MLS both play? If we go to a back 3 for example? What do you think Arteta has in mind for this part of the pitch? #arsecastextra
This might be my favourite instant reaction to date. Clive's surprise appearance was glorious and Tim's voice note made me want to stand up and salute. And great shout on Gyokeres, Elliott 🎯
Got my first PR pitch offering expert analysis on the viral Coldplay concert moment ☠️
The story of the Trump-Musk spat, as told by the Tesla share price...
This is a wind up, surely?
We did a story on how investors are applying the "72 hour rule" when it comes to reacting to Trump's social media posts. (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...)

But TACO is on another level to be fair
US companies from Pfizer to Alphabet are reading the tea leaves and heading to the European bond market for their borrowing needs.

A sign that the primacy of the dollar bond market is being eroded, some investors say..

It's Europe's time to shine.

That's according to almost every single asset class in financial markets (FX, bonds, stocks) as Donald Trump's drive to reshape the world economy drives investors elsewhere; with Europe being the first stop.

I think it's time to go home...
At what point did you go from joy about the first leg to panic about the second?
Who had Trump's picture on an inflation chart in their bingo card???
The bond vigilantes do it again... Never underestimate the bond vigilantes.
“.. the real credit, Mr. Trump’s advisers admit privately, should go to the bond markets. Mr. Trump’s decision was driven by fear that his tariffs gamble could quickly turn into a financial crisis .. directly attributable to only one man.”

Long Bollywood, guys
Indeed... Plus not knowing what's going to happen next.
Well, that was fun while it lasted...

🧵 A massive sell-off in Treasury markets is threatening to turn Trump’s tariff war into full blown financial crisis. Hedge funds unwinding highly leveraged basis trades is fuel to these fire sales – that’s bad on its own, but these trades are much more important than just bets on markets.
