January 12th - Bond investors overall bets on the Federal Reserves policy path and the direction of the US Treasury market in 2026 appear to have room for further expansion. Last Fridays non-farm payroll report showed weaker-than-expected job growth, maintaining market expectations for further Fed rate cuts. This result confirms market expectations that short-term Treasury bonds (most sensitive to monetary policy) will outperform long-term Treasury bonds this year, widening the yield spread between the two. This strategy, known as the "steepening trade," was one of the most popular bond trades for most of last year and continues to work at the start of 2026. Pramod Atrouli, fixed-income portfolio manager at Capital Group, stated, "There are many scenarios over the next 12 to 24 months that are very favorable for the yield curve steepening trade." An analysis of 25 of the largest actively managed core bond funds by JPMorgan shows that, historically, these funds still have a high exposure to this trade.According to Iranian state media, Iran summoned the British ambassador after protesters tore down the Iranian flag from the Iranian embassy building in London.Market news: Home Depot and Google Cloud have jointly launched the Agentic AI tool to help customers and employees transform projects from "how to do it" to "completed".Domestic News: 1.

Factbox-Crypto's greatest hacks and break-ins

Ronin, a network that permits the transfer of crypto coins throughout different blockchains, stated on Tuesday that hackers took on March 23 some 173,600 ether tokens and 25.5 million USD Coin tokens.


At the time of the news, the loot earned around $615 million-- as well as, because of an adjustment in the value of the tokens, some $540 million at the time of the hack-- making the theft among the largest on the document.


Right here are several of the other significant burglaries to have afflicted the crypto industry since bitcoin was birthed in 2008.

POLY NETWORK

Cyberpunks swiped around $610 million in August 2021 from Poly Network, a system that assists in peer-to-peer token purchases. The hackers behind the break-in, later on, returned nearly all of the swiped funds.


The hack underscored vulnerabilities in the growing decentralized money-- DeFi-- sector, where users provide, borrow, and save in digital symbols, bypassing the traditional gatekeepers of financing such as financial institutions and exchanges.

COINCHECK

In Jan. 2018, cyberpunks took cryptocurrency worth around $530 million from Tokyo-based exchange Coincheck. The thieves assaulted Coincheck's "warm pocketbook"-- a digital folder saved online-- to drain pipes of the funds, accentuating safety and security at exchanges.

South Korea's knowledge agency, stated as a North Oriental hacking group may have been behind the break-in.

MT. GOX

Among the earliest and most-high profile crypto hacks, bitcoin worth nearly 500 million dollars was stolen from the Mt.Gox exchange in Tokyo-- then the globe's greatest-- between 2011 and 2014.

Mt.Gox, which soon handled 80% of the world's bitcoin trade, applied for bankruptcy in very early 2014 after the hack was disclosed, with some 24,000 consumers losing access to their funds.

WORMHOLE

DeFi website Wormhole was hit by a $320 million break-in last month, with the hackers stealing 120,000 electronic symbols linked to the second-largest cryptocurrency, ether.

The crypto arm of Chicago-based Dive Trading, which had the year prior to getting the designer behind Wormhole, later on, changed the funds "to make neighborhood members entire and support Wormhole now as it continues to create."
