Yes to HSBC, but also to get revenge on England and Europe for not joining in the bombing. HSBC is the second largest bank in Europe, and headquartered in London.

I have 2 guesses 1. The bank will be one of the 4 London precious metals clearing house owners: - ICBC standard bank (this is a Chinese bank) - HSBC -JP Morgan -UBS Or 2. They are just bluffing/stirring the pot.

It can never be a U.S. bank no matter how shady it is, so it is likely HSBC with a lengthy history of moving money for everyone from drug cartels to terrorists to terror-sponsoring nations. The other possibility is one of the Swiss banks like UBS or ZKB.

You could pull out and set it in divident stocks like HSBC, Pepsi etc, the pay out would be around 2.5% - 3% per month, so it would give you around 6380$ - 7657$ a month, and the % grows every year you hold them

If I were to research TTD, I would find... TTD downgraded to Underperform from Neutral at BNP Paribas Exane. PT $10. TTD downgraded to Neutral from Buy at DA Davidson. TTD downgraded to Reduce from Hold at HSBC. PT $10. TTD downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Cannonball Research. PT $15. TTD downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform at RBC Capital Mkts. PT $15. TTD downgraded to In Line from Outperform at Evercore ISI. PT $13. TTD downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at BMO Capital. PT $15. TTD downgraded to Neutral from Positive at Susquehanna. PT $14. TTD downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Guggenheim. PT $12. TTD downgraded to Neutral from Outperform at Robert W. Baird. PT $9. TTD downgraded to Hold from Buy at Truist. PT $16. TTD downgraded to Underperform from Market Perform at Raymond James. TTD Q2 revenue increased just 3% yr/yr to $715 million. Missed expectations and missed its prior guidance of at least $750 million. Q3 revenue guidance of at least $650 million was well below expectations. The guidance implies a -12% yr/yr decline. That would be TTD's first quarterly revenue decline since Q2 2020. Godspeed, good sir. You do have time for the company to check into rehab.

Even the GLD ETF stores the gold mostly in London, i.e. it is not "paper gold". I do not see how a failing COMEX would directly endanger that, unless it brings down JP Morgan and HSBC (the GLD vault custodians).

It is useful for money laundering if the country you are in lets you buy unlimited amounts of it using your home currency and you have a way to send it to a cold hardware wallet or send it somewhere outside the country. A decades ago, I engaged in what many would classify as money laundering on my mother's behalf (don't worry, the statute of limitations probably passed). The method of money laundering that I used, however, was very overt and fully traceable. Essentially, my mother (a Chinese citizen with Canadian permanent residency at the time) had a bunch of money that she can't move out of China because capital control rules demand that she can only move $50, 000 USD per year. By the way, she is now a Canadian citizen and her Chinese citizenship was automatically revoked, so she is not really subject to the jurisdiction of the Chinese government. The most basic tool in a money launderer's toolbox is structuring. When we found enough relatives and used up their $50, 000 USD quotas to send international wire transfers using the fintech firm Alipay's systems via the Bank of Shanghai and sent the money out to HSBC in Hong Kong, the money laundering was complete. Was it legal? Absolutely not, based on Chinese law. But not a single one of the money mules got punished by having their bank accounts frozen, fined or jailed. If you tried doing this today, bank account freezes are virtually guaranteed, but not in 2015. Circling back to cryptocurrencies: as long as no one stops you from using fiat currency to buy it, and no one stops you from sending it out/downloading to a foreign exchange, it seems like your money would be stored in a way that the government can't easily touch. But if I was a money launderer today, I would want a stablecoin tied to a fiat currency and not Bitcoin because it is way too volatile for that purpose.

I use Interactive Investor (ii), you get a year free with referral but then even after that the monthly cost after was reasonable / better than most the others (exc. trading212). It for me offered the nicest app, customer service if you need it and a few other things that pushed me to them over the others. Problem with Vanguard is you can only buy Vanguard. With ii I have VWRP (Vanguard all world ETF) and the HSBC all world fund in a combination of SIPP and ISA setup to do monthly purchases automatically which is free. I also have a T212 which I use on occasion and is completely fine also, its just a bit more messy and more 'gamified'. Send me a PM if you want a referral for ii.

Chainlink Its a token , but I work at a large US bank and they have partnered with. DTCC, Euroclear, swift , jp morgan ,visa , mastercard, BNY, HSBC , government of japan, central bank of brazil it goes on and on and on. Their top legal counsel left for the sec, their ceo is on an advisory board for the CFTC. They have no private equity, they are fully funded from the ICO in 2017. Employee incentives are bound to token grants , no equity. They poached metas entire digital currency research group and have a top tier research team specializing in incentives under adversarial conditions, which is important because they are in a sense a security / new capability company for a completely reimagined financial infrastructure. The network cannot be successful without value accrual accuring to the token. I know this may sound like hyperbole , but its not everything will tokenize and they have no substantive competitors that enable compliant crosschain transfers of stablecoins and tokenized equities. This is a boring ~5 year hold unless speculative fervor picks up before adoption.

ClaymationDinosaur

Let me check here. I'll use local prices in GB Pounds, since that's what I have to hand. If I'd sold the "average priced house" ten years ago, that would have put 203000 GBP into play. The obvious thing to do with that would be to dump it into an SP500 tracker that existed at the time, I'll pick HSBC American Index C Acc because it's one I thought of right now. In July 2016 it was 4.09 per unit, so they'd get 49633 units. In July 2026 it was 16.25 per unit, so worth 806410 GBP. Let me see what the average price is now... 274000 GBP. So if they bought the same house back now, they'd be about 500000 pounds ahead. Take off rent for a decade, of course, but even then they're still 350000 - 400000 pounds ahead (rent a decade ago was about 75% of what it is now; this ones really hard to judge, actually, but it certainly did not cost a total of 500000 GBP for the average rent over the last tens years). Sounds like this couple made out pretty well for themselves, so long as they simply put all the cash into a dull index fund. The market does a lot better than houses. Is that what they did? Tell me they blew it all Wendy's instead, or lost it gambling on 0DTEs...

The question is why do you think their current state and staff turnover suggests their plan is working? As I originally commented it's discretionary spending without much stickiness in the face of likely high inflation. Over the last few months the majority of analysts have cut their price targets (though not all): - Citigroup cut PT to **$100** from **$115** - Bernstein cut PT to **$100** from **$110** - Goldman Sachs cut PT to **$110** from **$120** - HSBC cut PT to **$104** from **$113** - MoffettNathanson cut PT to **$115** from **$120** - Jefferies cut PT to **$110** from **$128** - Citic Securities raised PT to **$107** from **$95** - Daiwa Securities raised PT to **$102** from **$97** - Phillip Securities raised PT to **$110** from **$100** - New Street raised PT to **$102** from **$96** Examples of reasons: - **Soft engagement / “tepid viewership” narrative** — Citi explicitly cited tepid viewership as one factor weighing on sentiment while cutting its target to $100 (from $115) - **Near‑term subscriber pressure ahead of Q2 earnings (July 16)** — Bernstein reiterated its rating but cut its target to $100 (from $110) into Q2, pointing to near-term subscriber pressure and “a lot riding on Q2” (engagement trends, potential 2026 margin guidance revisions, and sustaining growth)

HORMUZ OIL FLOWS SEEN RECOVERING ONLY BY LATE SUMMER 2036 Oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely to normalize before late July and may only return to prewar levels by end-September, HSBC says. Delays stem from mine clearance, insurance, storage drawdowns, and restarting production. Saudi Arabia and the UAE may recover faster, while others lag. A partial reopening could cap flows near 60%, keeping global oil markets tight into 2036.

Yazzer5

let me drop the buzzwords completely. Here's what it actually is. Inputs: standard market features — price returns, realised volatility, RSI, moving average ratio, VIX level. Any OHLCV data works. What it does: instead of encoding those features into a classical ML model directly, it first runs them through a mathematical transformation called a quantum feature map. This maps your market data into a higher-dimensional space where regime boundaries are easier to separate. Then a standard SVM classifier makes the call. Outputs: current regime (bull / bear / transitioning), confidence score, and how many candles the signal leads the classical confirmation. Why not just use classical ML: a classical kernel does a similar thing but can only approximate certain feature interactions. The quantum feature map captures correlations between your inputs that classical kernels miss — specifically the kind of non-linear entangled relationships that show up at regime transitions. HSBC tested this on 1.1 million real bond trades and got 34% better prediction than classical ML alone. No repo yet building it today. But the architecture is straightforward: PennyLane for the feature map, sklearn SVM for classification, yfinance for data. Would you actually be willing to test it if I had something running by end of day?

Yazzer5

You're right that without evidence it's just noise. what would "mathematically prove it works" look like to you? For what it's worth there is peer-reviewed work showing quantum kernel methods outperforming classical baselines on financial classification tasks not hype, actual AUC comparisons on real market data. HSBC and IBM published results in September 2025 showing 34% improvement over classical ML on bond trading using quantum feature maps on a simulator-reproducible methodology.

ICameSawAbstained

That's exactly why I like them. But I do think there's room for further consolidation. Higher for longer rates, reduced capital fundraising, possible increasing need for markdowns. I did positively view the fact they were less RE-exposed than other AAMs, until they made a bid for HSBC mortgage books (in a higher tending rate environment)... 

Crazy_Donkies

Yeah, the market was looking for a reason to pull back. AVGO just forecasted 33% QoQ revenue growth to $29b from $22b and adjusted EBITDA of 68%. So lets assume forward revenue is a conservative $130b x 68% times a 30x multiple forward PE ratio (lower because it's adjusted EBITDA), A conservative value for AVGO is $2.6t. That multiple is fair given they're growing revenue 30% QoQ and landed another 6th hyperscaler. Which by the way puts them at $580 a share today and not the $600 target they were just given by HSBC. But whatever. Guess I have to wait.

I'm not saying it's a great investment, but I don't buy conspiracy theories that somehow the ETFs are essentially fraudulent, like some crypto scam. Gold in particular would be the hardest to fake as there are supposed to be clearly allocated physical in the vault. State Street (or any ETF sponsor) would face catastrophic investigations and a total business collapse (everyone would withdraw from every single ETF from their firm and move to competitors) if that were the case. Next you'd have to imagine that HSBC or any other depository would be lying about their inventory and double or triple counting. That's a pretty giant risk with felony penalties. And worse if you lose some ruthless oligarch or dictator's money.

DrXaos

can you buy 400 oz London Good Delivery for well under the supposed exchange price? Authorized Participants can buy physical gold and deliver to HSBC and get shares of the fund. If they can get well under market price for the physical then it’s free money to them.

Anonn39

Yeah basically. I use a lot of traditional banks (Lloyds, HSBC, Nationwide); challenger banks (Monzo, Starling, Revolut) and EMIs (Wise, Zen, bunq, PayPal) to move money between the UK, Europe and Asia, and Wise is the best within its niche. It has a smaller market cap (10b) compared to PayPal (40b) and it offers significantly superior service (at least to my purposes), and it is among the only UK fintech that is actually public, all of the others are private. Another factor is that there are more and more UK expat leaving and live elsewhere like the UAE (this is backup by stats, but I don't rmb the exact number), which will inevitably become Wise customers. This is reflected in Wise increased cross-border volume in their Q3 and Q4 earnings. Their rev is also up 22% year over year with a forward p/e of 28, and an trailing EPS growth of 17%, projected EPS growth of 7% (looks expensive, but it grows much faster than PayPal, and have high margins). Last thing is that it is pushing to move its main listing from the LSE to the NASDAQ. I believe Wise is considering for a UK banking license, but they haven't applied for it yet.

wilhelm96

I wonder how that HSBC guy that downgraded AMD yesterday with at $340 pt is doing today.

binklfoot

I’ll tell my story. I believed in the chips thesis when INTC broke free and in similar fashion built a position in AMD after it climbed with INTC based on INTC earnings. Yesterday I went online and read a lot of FUD, and it got to me. I decided to “protect” my gains by placing a stop loss. AH came and voila the stock jumped 15% more and I got out with a tiny bit of profit. My point is the FUD. The fear and uncertainty and doubt spewing online from whoever like HSBC analyst or randos in threads in dangerous to listen to. I’ve been hearing this FUD since 2017, and have I learned my lesson back then. I would’ve been a very rich person. I keep reminding myself to ignore the FUD, Benjamin Franklin did so 200+ years ago and yet here we are listening to idiots calling for the collapse of society every single year.

HSBC quadrupled their ACHR stake, will this make it finally start going up again?

"HSBC Adjusts Netflix Price Target to $113 From $114, Maintains Buy Rating". Wonder how much research went into this LMAO

PPI at 0.5% vs expected 1.1% is a massive downside miss that flips the inflation narrative we've been tracking. Last week I posted that PPI at 4.0% would make April CPI ugly - but 0.5% monthly is much cooler than expected. The dollar declining + HSBC refusing to chase it + Trump floating new talks = the risk-on setup for anyone selling dollar-denominated options. Rate-sensitive sectors (REITs, utilities, bonds) should benefit if this PPI read holds into CPI.

>HSBC Group’s CEO, Georges Elhedery, just broke down why end buyers of oil are facing prices *way* above what traders see on their screens. >“What worries me is not the headlines. I mean, oil headline is above $100, $110. Realistically, if you are now trying to get oil from the Middle East, you may be paying $140, $150. Realistically, if you try to get oil from the Red Sea, you are paying more than $30, $40 for shipping. Insurance costs, which used to be 25 basis points, is more like 5%, and war insurance has been scrapped — you’re paying 5% without even the war insurance component. So the barrel of oil door to door or the barrel of refined oil door to door is way above the headline price of oil. The highest I’ve seen, and I’m hoping we don’t see more of that, **but the highest I’ve seen is $286 for a barrel of oil that reached Sri Lanka**. This is not a country and an economy that can easily afford these kind of prices sustainably.”

Hi, well done! Welcome to investing. So. Two tips 1. Open a stocks and shares ISA account with a platform that offers a wide range of assets...Iweb/ AJ Bell / NatWest or Royal London / Monzo! 2. Funds/ Assets - loads to choose from, to get started you can pick a pre selected set - nothing wrong with that. 3 - return. You want to think about annual  return % - if you are not remotely curious, and don't really want to get under the bonnet of the stock market - 10% annualised return (64% over 5 years) might suit you. I. Which case one of the 5 big trackers HSBC, I Shares ..might work for you. However. If you are interested and want to really know what you are buying, you might want to look at different funds or even a % of individual stocks. There are loads of models around to help. Mainquiteq bit of guidance...don't take too long deciding. I like emerging markets, equities and gold and individual stocks... everyone is different.

You can find most of this info under holdings for ETF Indices. If you want foreign (non US stocks) you need a World ex US ETF otherwise World plus US is gonna be dominated by US stocks. $VXUS and $EWY are 2 of my top 5 holdings. $VXUS (World ex US) Top 10 Holdings (11.80% of Total Assets) [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/2330.TW/) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited**3.43%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/005930.KS/) Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.**1.59%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ASML.AS/) ASML Holding N.V.**1.29%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/0700.HK/) Tencent Holdings Limited**0.92%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/000660.KS/) SK hynix Inc.**0.91%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ROG/) Rogers Corporation**0.76%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/9988.HK/) Alibaba Group Holding Limited**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NOVN.SW/) Novartis AG**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/HSBA.L/) HSBC Holdings plc**0.73%** [](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AZN.L/) AstraZeneca PLC**0.71%**

The exact same things I planned on buying this year - European financials + MUFG & HSBC, index funds and some defence+related companies

Both track basically the same thing, so the fee difference is what actually important. The Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap, and the HSBC FTSE All-World are both globally diversified index funds, with thousands of holdings across developed and emerging markets. There actually is one main difference between the 2 and basically is that Vanguard's includes small caps, HSBC's not. But very honestly for a first pension investment that distinction is not that important. There actually is not a right or wrong choice here. The drop you're seeing on the HSBC chart is the same drop happening pretty much everywhere else right now. Definitely not a fund-specific problem, unfortunately it's just the market at the moment. Both funds dropped because the companies that they "hold" dropped too. Also to be fair from my pov trying to pick a good entry point is almost always a losing game. If your horizon is 20-30 years, which could be plausible for a pension fund, the entry price of today doesn't actually matter much compared to how consistently you will be able to contribute over time. Markets spend a huge amount of time near or at all-time highs, and waiting for the "right" moment usually means missing months of recovery. For a SIPP specifically, I would just pick one, set up a regular contribution, and let it run. The HSBC one has a lower ongoing charge, and that compounds in your favor over a long period of time like 20 years plus. That's probably the deciding factor if everything else is the same.

Yeah, and Lily got wrecked this week because the HSBC guy said it should be 850. People panic sold and it went from 1000 to 900.

It's purely speculation. Institutions trade precious metals based on market trends such as interest rates. Individual investors hold these assets as a long term hedge. The major investment banks like Goldman or HSBC. have commodities desk dedicated to trading, moving millions of USD daily. I am not saying zero retail investors sold, I am addressing general market behavior.

DB is not very much exposed to EMs, at least not compared to Standard Chartered, HSBC, Santander, BBVA…
