Julia Fanzeres and Devika Krishna Kumar - Bloomberg
Oil options traders are increasingly looking to protect against rising crude prices as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Near-term market gauges for Brent and US crude have flipped over the past week to reflect more demand for bullish call options than bearish puts. The WTI second-month call skew, which shows what traders will pay for options that profit from a rise in prices versus a decline, switched on Tuesday for the first time since November, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Oil options markets typically skew bearish as producers seek to protect against price drops.

Trump-and-dump: Speculators bet on Truth Social 'meme' stock
Abigail Summerville - Reuters
Mohammed Al Shalloudi, a 21-year-old graduate data analyst in the United Arab Emirates who invested in Donald Trump's social media company, has little in common with the former U.S. president's political supporters.
Al Shalloudi bought shares in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) (DJT.O), opens new tab, but not because he believes in the business of its app Truth Social or because he is a Trump fan. He is part of an army of speculators seeking a quick lucrative trade whose bets on TMTG have made it one of the most overvalued and actively traded U.S. stocks.

Suzuki stopped short of threatening to take "decisive action" against excessive moves, language the minister used last week when the yen slumped to a 34-year low, suggesting officials are keeping their powder dry as they watch how currency moves play out.
