Can't believe I'm asking this after all my 35 years of being alive, but here I am - please give me some nice ideas for an appropriate gift you'd give a new girlfriend after just 2 months of your relationship? Asking this so as not to "overdo" it or go too far with something that's too intimate or personal or expensive - just something nice, useful, and romantic that doesn't go overboard. Thanks a lot! -
The long adage “what a man can do, a woman can do even better” might have gained traction in the crypto space. Although most of the top influential people in the industry are men, their female counterparts are exhibiting finesse too; not many beat Gracy Chen in terms of deep-rooted knowledge, skill and her inspiring rise to the top. Since 2014, as a notable TV host, Ms Chen found her interest in the dynamic world of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency deepen through her interactions with some of the industry’s OGs. Her growing passion would soon drive her to invest in various crypto startups, including Bitkeep (now Bitget Wallet). In June 2022, she joined Bitget as its novel Managing Director (MD), and left a positive impact with her excellent managerial ability; contributing her part in Bitget’s success in the fiercely competitive cryptocurrency landscape. Some of her most remarkable achievements include co-leading the strategy that multiplied Bitget’s user base through high-profile partnership with footballing GOAT, Leo Messi, as well as the establishment of a robust global affiliate network. Her expertise, in-depth knowledge, efficiency over the years as Bitget MD have earned her the CEO position, succeeding Sandra Lou, who will be leaving the platform to chase her own business goals. From TV host to Bitget CEO, Gracy Chen’s story is a reminder that if you dream it, you can achieve it. You agree? -
Following strong earnings and rising commodities, the FTSE and DAX consolidated near record highs. Dovish ECB and BoE signals, along with upcoming UK inflation data, could influence future rate cuts. Source: Getty Images Indices Commodities Inflation Core inflation DAX Technical analysis Written by: Tony Sycamore | Market Analyst, Australia Publication date: Tuesday 21 May 2024 05:02 After a record-breaking rally, fuelled by strong corporate earnings, rising commodities and expectations of rate cuts, the FTSE and the DAX spent last week consolidating near record highs. While sticky inflation is expected to see the Federal Reserve keep rates higher for longer, underlying inflation in the UK and in Europe has made good progress towards target. In response, the ECB and the BoE have sounded more dovish. The expectation is that they will cut rates once or perhaps twice before the Federal Reserve starts its rate-cutting cycle in September. Whether the BoE is able to cut rates at its next meeting on 20 June, will depend to a large degree on this week's inflation report for April, which is previewed below. UK inflation data preview Date: Wednesday, 22 May at 4.00pm AEST In March, the headline annual inflation rate in the UK fell to 3.2% YoY from 3.4% prior, its lowest rate since September 2021. The annual core inflation rate, which excludes volatile items such as energy and food, dropped to 4.2%, the lowest since December 2021. Inflation's steady progress toward the BoE's target has significantly contributed to the bank's dovish tilt. The rates market is now 50% priced for a 25 basis points (bp) BoE rate cut in June, with a full 25bp rate cut expected by August. The market's preliminary expectation for this month (April) is for headline inflation to ease to 2.3% YoY and for core inflation to fall to 3.6%. If correct, this should increase the chances of a 25bp BoE rate cut in June. UK CPI data Source: TradingEconomics DAX technical analysis The rally from the mid-April 17,626 low is viewed as the final leg (Wave V) of an impulsive rally from the October 2023, 14,630 low. (Within Elliott Wave theory, a Wave V is usually the final leg of an impulse move before a correction unfolds.) This wave count is supported by bearish divergence in the RSI indicator, showing that new price highs are not confirmed by new RSI highs. A break below short-term support at 18,567, stemming from the April high, would indicate that the rally has run its course and a pullback has commenced. However, before the pullback begins, the DAX may yet extend its gains into the 19,000/19,200 area. DAX daily chart Source: TradingView FTSE technical analysis Since mid-March, we maintained a bullish stance on the FTSE, capturing its blistering run higher. However, we shifted to a more neutral bias ahead of the BoE meeting on May 9th, anticipating a pullback to rebuy. Although a pullback has yet to develop, the FTSE's overbought readings via the RSI indicator suggest a pullback may not be far away. FTSE daily chart Source: TradingView Source: Tradingview.

Question
Jonjay
Hi guys, completely new to the site, but traded Options in the 90s for a while and trying to get back into it now on my IG demo account. Please bear with me for stupid newbie question! If I decide I want to sell Puts, which are in theory limitless with their potential loss, does the account automatically trade you out of the position if you reach the margin? or is this manual and you could end up with a negative account value that you have to then repay?
Thanks guys
