Today in markets: Global food prices just hit their highest level since 2023. The FAO Food Price Index up 1.6% in April. Vegetable oils, cereals and meat all rising as Hormuz disruptions feed through to supply chains. Meanwhile copper is approaching its January record high on AI infrastructure, power grid and clean energy demand. And gold and silver climbing on safe haven flows. The Hormuz closure isn't just an oil story anymore. #FoodPrices #Copper #Gold #MacroMarkets #IGMarkets

US payrolls came in at 115,000 in April. Stronger than expected. US markets loved it, several hitting record highs. European markets didn't. The DAX extended Thursday's sell-off as Brent crept back toward $100. Same jobs data. Opposite reactions. The Atlantic is doing a lot of work right now. #NFP #SP500 #DAX #MacroMarkets #IGMarkets

The market has been broken for a decade. It's just becoming more broken. And when the machines stop - it finishes very ugly. Not investment advice. Views are those of the presenters. Capital at risk.

Is this market broken? Silver surging. Gold spiking. Intel doubling. AMD moving violently. What are the mechanics behind the huge moves - and what it means when buyers and sellers stop matching up?
