For anyone who still thinks post-trade is the unglamorous backwater of capital markets, APAC says otherwise. It’s quietly, but materially, holding the region back. When nearly half of investors hit limits from fragmentation, manual workflows, and legacy systems, the cost is real.

Monday morning. Join me on @FINTECHTVglobal's Market Movers at - for one week only- the slightly later slot of 09.40 AM EST for a fast, no-nonsense look at what matters for markets this week. 📺 Watch live on Fintech.TV. The replay will also be up shortly.

Lee Freeman-Shor challenges one of the industry’s biggest assumptions: that credentials equal performance. In reality, the edge often comes from mindset, discipline, and decision-making under pressure - not what’s on a CV. Watch the full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=mvj3mD…

With the Trump-era exodus still echoing, the US has now cut $570M from the UN budget, trimming its share by $126M. Accounting for 12.7% of global GDP but paying 22% of the UN bill, the move raises questions: fiscal discipline or shirking global responsibility?

In its ability to engage women, @JSE_Group is a brilliant exemplar of equal opportunity—even in the parish of exchanges where female leadership is commonplace from @Nasdaq & @NYSE to Zagreb & beyond. Valdene Reddy becomes CEO on April 1, the third woman in a row to hold the role.

#Onthisday March 18, 1852, @WellsFargo was founded in New York by Henry Wells & William Fargo to serve the Gold Rush economy. From stagecoaches carrying gold dust to bank drafts, it connected the frontier fast and reliably—laying the foundation for a U.S. financial powerhouse.

Cultural appropriation? Today says otherwise. As a Patrick, “St Me’s” Day is for everyone—no Celtic DNA required. Love Ireland, wear the green, raise a glass if you wish. March 17 is for optimism: the luck of the Irish can belong to us all.

A legend, the pioneering brain of risk management and much more, London derivatives pioneer, bon vivant and lover of the turf, Desmond Fitzgerald was an unforgettable presence in London's boom era from before the 1980's deregulation boom into the 21st century.

With a team in SE Asia, one cannot ignore K-Pop. Even a modest slice of SK's entertainment machine could equal 15–25% of North Korea’s economy. Cultural capital compounds well: K-Pop Demon Hunters hit 500M Netflix views, @BLACKPINK's Deadline tour added $400M+ to @ygent_official

Oil above $110 - albeit momentarily - markets jittery, & geopolitics front and center. We unpacked the latest Middle East tensions, why this is a short-term oil squeeze - not a full-blown energy crisis, and how Venezuela’s output is expected to stabilize the market soon.

Sharon Bowen is a true beacon of light for how we can always use markets to craft a better world for everybody in this wonderful world and a fantastic role model for women and men across the world to emulate her calm, considered, professionalism.

Sharon Bowen has been a magnificent Chairman of the @NYSE for several years, epitomising considerate analysis and a great ability to support this historic institution while maintaining a remarkably low profile given the importance of the position she holds.
