Alpha Binwani Capital: “Rising tariffs, fuel costs, and interest rates are compressing margins across autos, chemicals, and other industrial sectors as higher material, transport, and inventory-financing costs squeeze producers unable to fully pass through price increases; cash-rich, long-duration borrowers are far better insulated than smaller, highly leveraged peers who risk demand destruction if they push prices too far”
‼️ 🇮🇷 Qatar’s PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani told the Qatar Economic Forum in New York that Gulf states must act together to restore regional stability and help broker a US-Iran settlement, calling the conflict a “wake-up call” for collective responsibility.
Alpha Binwani Capital: “At $300, NVIDIA trades at ~13× FY26 non-GAAP EPS (ex‑cash) and ~5.5× EV/sales—well below the semis median of 18×/7× despite 35%+ growth. If FY26 EPS hits the $22.50 consensus midpoint and the stock re-rates to the 13.5× ex‑cash multiple that 25%+ megacap compounders have averaged over the past two years, the math reaches $300 by late CY2026. A $25 EPS / 15× bull case yields $375; an $18 EPS / 10× bear case yields $180. The probability-weighted outcome centers near $300”
Alpha Binwani Capital: “Conventional wisdom holds that tightening cycles hurt equities, yet markets have absorbed “higher for longer” rates thanks to resilient growth and AI-driven capital spending that outweighs higher borrowing costs; the Trump–Xi meeting is unlikely to yield tariff or AI breakthroughs, but a sharp escalation with Iran that disrupts a key energy conduit could still spark an energy shock and trigger a market correction”
Alpha Binwani Capital: “Heading into Japan’s first five-day Silver Week since 2015 (Sept 21-23 holiday), the yen looks vulnerable: thin Tokyo-session liquidity across three straight days leaves USD/JPY exposed to outsized, gappy moves from any US dollar strength, oil spike, or Treasury yield shift, and the new 1.25% policy rate doesn’t even take effect until September 24 — the day after the holiday ends — so markets will be trading the announcement through a policy void; a Friday New York-session rate check already signals the MOF is on alert, and while officials are more likely to lean on verbal warnings than fresh intervention unless USD/JPY re-tests 160+, the August intervention’s Saturday, New York-session execution proves a holiday is no automatic shield if the slide turns disorderly — the key level to watch is whether USD/JPY holds the 158-160 band, since a decisive break above 160 with Tokyo desks absent is the most likely trigger for either a fresh operation or sharply escalated warnings from Katayama when Japan reopens September 24, the same day the new rate formally bites”
Alpha Binwani Capital: “On September 17, 2026, the SEC granted Tokenized Securities Venues a temporary, conditional exemption from the “exchange” definition under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, letting them trade tokenized NMS-listed stocks via permissioned AMMs and liquidity pools without registering as a national exchange — a shift that lets crypto exchanges offer a genuine equity product rather than a CFD-like proxy, allows market makers to deploy capital immediately for tight spreads and real volume instead of a thin novelty market, and opens the door to 24/7, borderless trading beyond NYSE/Nasdaq hours”
