Catherine Clay on How Cboe Global Markets is a Different Company Now at Boca 2022
JohnLothianNews.com
Cboe Global Markets is a very different company today than it was the last time people gathered together at FIA Boca, said Catherine Clay, the company's executive vice president, global head of data and access solutions. Cboe has made a number of strategic fintech acquisitions in recent years, acquiring Hanweck Associates, a real-time risk analytics company, FT Options, a portfolio management platform, and TradeAlert, a distributor of market intelligence, in 2020, and acquiring the Canadian fintech company NEO and the digital asset spot market ErisX in 2021.

Nasdaq
From time to time, I mention results in the weekly American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) poll. I have mixed feelings about using surveys like this as a timing indicator, as on one hand it measures the pulse of what participants are thinking and feeling. But, on the other hand, it doesn't necessarily reflect what they are doing as with other sentiment tools at our disposal, such as option activity, fund flows, short interest figures, or allocation surveys.

The twin perils of slowing growth and high inflation, or stagflation, will hit the global economy this year as Russia's war against Ukraine exacerbates a slowdown in the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, according to Financial Times research.

Katherine Doherty - Bloomberg
Bank of America Corp. joined Wall Street rivals in capitalizing on market volatility while also benefiting from an increase in lending.
The company's trading operation posted $4.72 billion in revenue, down just 7.1% from a year earlier after analysts expected a 16% decline. The best results were in the equities business, where revenue soared 9.5% to a record $2 billion, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said in a statement Monday.

Funds' bullish CBOT bets swell further as supply fears simmer -Braun
Karen Braun - Reuters
Speculators' enthusiasm toward Chicago-traded grains and oilseeds crept closer to record levels last week as tighter-than-usual world stockpiles and uncertainty in Ukraine continue to support prices.
Minimal grain and oilseed shipments out of Ukraine have disrupted and even rerouted global trade, one example being China's recent U.S. corn purchases, the first in nearly a year. Moscow suggested last week that the conflict's end may not come soon, further spooking traders.
