Morgan Stanley has been fined! For not preventing money laundering!? Morgan Stanley, one of the largest investment banks worldwide, has gotten into legal trouble as the Swiss Attorney General’s office imposed a sharp fine of $1.1 million on the firm’s Swiss operations! But why? For failing to prevent money laundering. The case dates back to 2010 when former Greek Defence Minister Apostolos-Athanasios Tsochatzopoulos and his associates received bribes and laundered them. Some of the bribes were laundered through miscellaneous accounts in Bank Morgan Stanley (Switzerland) AG (BMSAG). In 2014, Swiss authorities opened criminal proceedings against a 57-year-old BMSAG client advisor who was managing client relationships of said accounts and was charged with intentionally obstructing the confiscation of these bribes and committing qualified money laundering. As such, Morgan Stanley received a fine of $1.1 million and the costs of the proceedings were imposed on it too. The firm has waived its right to oppose the summary penalty order.

Oil prices are up! After declining to the lowest level in over 2 months, Bulls took charge as oil prices jumped sharply, gaining over 1% in a single session! But why? Due to President Trump. Shortly after coming into power, President Trump announced that he would be imposing sharp tariffs on its neighbours and multiple other countries. Recently, he announced that the planned tariffs on Canada and Mexico will be continuing as planned from 4th March onwards! Moreover, he also announced an additional 10% tariff on China, further worsening the trade war and complicating concerns about global trade. Secondly, latest weekly data by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed that US crude oil inventories decreased by 2.3 million barrels as opposed to 2.6 million barrels that analysts expected. Finally, President Trump revoked Chevron’s license to operate in Venezuela! He had accused President Maduro of manipulating the latest elections earlier and this time he cancelled Chevron’s Venezuelan license for failure to advance electoral reforms!! When reporting, Brent Crude was trading at around $73.899/bbl, up 1.44%. #oil #commodity #brent #crudeoil #finance #financialinsights

US markets have fallen! Tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 bled for the third consecutive day yesterday as bearish sentiments led to the index falling over 1% in yesterday’s session to decline to its lowest level in almost one month!! But why? Due to looming trade concerns. US President Donald Trump’s tariff plans are disrupting global trade which could have terrible results. He has imposed tariffs on his own North American neighbours Canada and Mexico that are all set to go live on 4th March, which could adversely impact all 3 economies. Moreover, he is also actively targeting China. Last week he signed executive orders to restrict investments to/from China in strategic sectors! Now, a Bloomberg report claims that the US is planning to tighten Biden-era controls by restricting exports of semiconductor technology to China, especially those of Nvidia! China claims that the US is suppressing China’s semiconductor industry, overstretching the concept of security, and coercing allies into targeting China’s chip industry! This move further exacerbates the trade war between the two largest economies and threatens supply chains worldwide.

Bitcoin is down! Crypto markets are down today as Bitcoin had its worst session in almost 2 months yesterday as the token lost almost 5%! The bearish run resulted in the crypto market wiping out over $100 billion from the total market cap! But why? Due to Trump tariffs. Recent reports suggest President Trump is looking to move forward with his plans to implement sharp tariffs on its neighbours Mexico and Canada from 4th March. Moreover, the Trump administration has announced new tariffs on China. Apple has announced a $500 billion investment to expand its US facilities over the next 4 years in hopes of avoiding the tariffs! This has raised concerns about global trade leading to bearish pressures on crypto prices, especially Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum. Recently, US Bitcoin ETFs alone saw outflows of $1.14 billion while Ethereum ETFs lost $85.3 million in 2 weeks, indicating poor institutional demand. Another blow came when South Dakota failed to pass a Bill to build a state strategic crypto reserve. The proposed bill sought to build a Bitcoin reserve using public funds, but getting the bill through was difficult and it was deferred for later. Finally, crypto prices have declined due to concerns regarding crypto safety. Bybit recently faced a hack where it lost crypto tokens worth $1.4 billion. Moreover, neobank Infini also lost USDC worth $49.5 million, resulting in investors losing confidence in security and selling their holdings in panic. When reporting, Bitcoin was trading at around $92,261.14 per token. Follow ProCapitas for more financial insights. #bitcoin #crypto #cryptocurrency #politics #finance #financialinsights

Gold prices will reach $3,300!? 🪙🤑💸📈 Goldman Sachs says so! Gold has been on a roll since 2024 began as the commodity was trading around $2,000/troy ounce at the time. However, rampant buying from February 2024 sent the haven asset soaring. Bulls took gold to fresh lifetime highs as Gold ended 2024 at around $2,650/troy ounce, up over 30% annually!! However, Bulls were not done yet. In less than 2 months of 2025, Gold continued soaring and reached the impossible level of $2,900/troy ounce. Interestingly, Goldman Sachs believes Bulls can still go higher as the safe-haven asset is expected to hit $3,100/troy ounce! But why? Central Bank buying. The biggest driver of gold prices since 2024 has been the excessive demand for the commodity by Central Banks. With a worsening geopolitical landscape and growing hostility by the US, central banks are choosing to pivot to gold to preserve value and offset geopolitical risk. Goldman Sachs analysts estimate central bank demand for Gold to increase to 50 tons per month in 2025! Moreover, concerns like tariff impact, inflation metrics, and fewer rate cuts by the US are expected to send Gold up to $3,300!!
