#Throwback to June 2022: I had the pleasure of delivering a keynote at the 23rd AFM Conference in London as markets reopened & the exchange world rediscovered face-to-face debate. Fast forward to Taipei last week—different venue, same lively discussions on the future of markets.

.@CouttsandCo, famed as the bankers to Queen Elizabeth and now King Charles III, has raised its minimum entry threshold from £1m to £3m—the largest increase in its 333-year history. The message is clear: the price of admission to private banking just got a lot steeper.

I was delighted to chat with Fiona Boal of @SPDJIndices to kick off day 2 of the #AFM2026 hosted by TAIFEX. It was a fabulously wide ranging discussion as befits Fiona's broad career which began in commodities & nowadays focuses on her role as Global Head of Equities at S&P.
🔴 Happening Now at the AFM Annual Conference in Taipei: Day 2 opens with “Matters of Moment,” a Fireside Chat moderated by Patrick L Young @FrontierFinance with Fiona Boal of @SPDJIndices. After a fantastic Day 1, discussions are already off to a strong start.

If your morning coffee feels a little more “premium” than you remember, there’s a reason. A 1lb bag of coffee in the USA rose from $4.17 in 2019 to $9.61 in 2026 — up 130.46%. At what point does caffeine stop being a habit and start becoming a luxury commodity?

All the very best to Valdene Reddy as she looks to build a globally relevant, resilient JSE. In reality the @JSE_Group has largely done a solid job - it’s the broader South African policy environment that has held the story back.

Jay Ritter breaks down a long-running market inefficiency: companies not only pay significant fees, but also often leave money on the table as stocks begin trading above their offer price almost immediately. Watch the full conversation for his full take: youtube.com/watch?v=96YY2Xq1…

T 1 turns two… Markets once operated on a T forever settlement mentality. The UK only moved from fortnightly accounts to T 10 in 1994, then T 5 a year later. Now the US, Canada & Mexico run smoothly on T 1 — and Europe will eventually follow.

Channeling insights from @stevewoz, I encouraged students to use their “Actual Intelligence” to exploit their data centre-driven “Artificially Intelligent” robotic cousins — and profit in a world still full of opportunity for flexible market thinkers.

US life expectancy in 2026 is ~79.4 years. The 50 largest US airports? Older still, averaging ~82 years. Only a handful of major commercial airports have been fully built in the past half-century. Infrastructure time moves far slower than biological time.
