A Dollar's Demise is a Cat's Paradise!
Madre de Dios! Your favorite swashbuckler Puss in Boots reporting live from my luxurious litter box (don't judge it's a seller's market!). The U.S. dollar is weaker than a kitten trying to fight El Gigante and the Asia Pacific currencies are throwing a fiesta! The Taiwanese dollar is strutting its stuff like it just won a staring contest with Death himself appreciating 5.77%. It's at a three year high! Even the Chinese yuan is feeling frisky reaching levels not seen since November 2024. Looks like someone's been drinking their milk! *licks paw*
Aussie Markets Take a Tumble: A Kangaroo's Bad Day
Alas not everyone is celebrating like it's Cinco de Mayo. Down under the Australian market is feeling a bit...under the weather. Prime Minister Albanese is back for another round which seems to have the markets doing the opposite of the Macarena. The S&P/ASX 200 took a nosedive falling 0.97%. It seems even kangaroos have bad hair days! Meanwhile Taiwan's Taiex joined the sad parade proving that even the best tortillas can crumble.
Adani's Charm Offensive: Whispers with Trump
Ah the plot thickens like a good bowl of gazpacho! Word on the street (or should I say from the Bloomberg grapevine) is that Mr. Gautam Adani a billionaire of considerable repute has been whispering sweet nothings into the ears of President Trump's administration. Apparently they're discussing a certain overseas bribery probe. It seems that even the wealthiest amongst us need a little help from their friends...and perhaps a well aimed 'Puss in Boots' stare of persuasion. Shares of Adani's enterprises are soaring higher than my ego proving that sometimes even alleged scandals can have a silver lining! Perhaps I should offer my services as a negotiator? I work for leche!
India's Investment 'Love': More Passionate Than My Love for Leche!
Move over ladies! India is getting the 'biggest love' for investments according to the wise Mark Mobius. Apparently the country's young population is 'grasping the technology' faster than I can sharpen my claws. That's high praise indeed! Mobius also mentioned Brazil Vietnam and Taiwan as promising markets. Seems like there's enough room for everyone at this party...provided they bring enough leche!
OPEC+ and Oil Prices: A Slippery Slope
The world's oil producers have agreed to raise production sending oil prices tumbling faster than Humpty Dumpty. Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude are both feeling the pinch. Is this a cause for concern? Perhaps. But as I always say 'When the world turns its back on you you turn your back on the world!' Or you know invest in leche futures. That's always a solid plan.
Wall Street's Wild Ride: From Wins to Wobbles
After a week of celebrating like they'd just found the goose that lays golden eggs U.S. futures are edging down. The S&P 500 had a fantastic run its longest winning streak since November 2004 and has recovered from Trumps tariffs! But it seems even the best parties must eventually come to an end. Will the market continue its ascent or will it stumble like a kitten on a staircase? Only time will tell amigos. But one thing's for sure: I'll be watching with a twinkle in my eye...and a paw on my sword...just in case. *Strikes heroic pose*

I bet Puss in Boots is diversifying his portfolio with catnip stocks.

Inconceivable! The markets are more unpredictable than a game of cat and mouse!

Someone get Puss in Boots a financial advisor! He's clearly onto something.

Asia's currencies are feline good! Bad pun, I know, but I couldn't resist.
