It’s incredibly fascinating to watch what’s happening right now in the UK gilt market. I often focus on the US understandably, since it dominates global financial markets but the signals coming from the UK bond market deserve serious attention. When people talk about gilts being “undervalued,” what they’re really reacting to is something deeper… the market’s perception of fiscal credibility. Here’s what often gets overlooked… Bond markets are one of the few real time mechanisms that hold governments accountable. While we usually associate accountability with elections and politics, markets speak a different language… cost. When governments borrow too aggressively or look fiscally reckless, lenders (investors) start to lose confidence. That loss of trust shows up fast… in higher yields, weaker demand, and rising refinancing costs. It’s not about partisanship it’s about risk and trust. If a government behaves as if it can spend freely or rely on money printing without consequences, the bond market pushes back. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. It’s not just a technical issue or a pricing anomaly it’s the market demanding responsibility. The UK’s current situation is a powerful reminder… the cost of capital matters. Markets aren’t political they’re rational. And when that rationality flags something, it’s worth paying attention. I’ll translate… please somebody buy our debt… Anyway… Probably nothing #bonds #uk #gilts #hedgefunds #markets #stocks #stockmarket #bondmarket #macroeconomics

From the runway to the red carpet—India is now setting the tone for global luxury. As global brands pivot east, Prada is in talks with Maharashtra’s Kolhapuri artisans to co-create a GI-certified sandal line. Meanwhile, Dior, Louboutin, and others are tapping Indian craftsmanship—not for inspiration, but for collaboration. #MarketingMentor #Luxury #LuxuryFashion

Artisan, a San Francisco-based AI startup, has raised $25 million in Series A funding led by Glade Brook Capital, with participation from Y Combinator, Day One Ventures, HubSpot Ventures, and others. The announcement was made by 23-year-old CEO Jaspar Carmichael-Jack, who co-founded the startup with Sam Stallings, a former IBM product manager. Known for its provocative “Stop Hiring Humans” campaign, Artisan clarified that its goal is to augment human work by automating repetitive tasks, rather than replacing employees entirely. Despite the slogan, the startup currently employs 35 people and plans to hire 22 more across various roles. Artisan operates in the AI SDR (sales development representative) space, offering AI agents like Ava to generate cold outreach messages. The startup also plans to expand its product line with Aaron, for handling inbound messages, and Aria, a meeting assistant — both expected by the end of 2025.

Ferrari’s hand-painted Scudetto Aerografato is pure craftsmanship — airbrushed directly onto the fender by master artisans in Maranello, no templates, just skill. Each shield takes nearly 16 hours of layering, shading, and polishing to create a three-dimensional, metallic effect that’s as durable as it is beautiful. Priced between $14,000–$17,000, it’s more than a flex — it’s a tribute to Ferrari’s legacy, built one steady brushstroke at a time. Would you go for it? #Luxurious #MarketingMentor #Ferrari
