Public has launched a new feature that allows users to create AI-driven agents capable of monitoring markets and executing trades automatically. The rollout positions the company within a growing segment of brokerage platforms that are integrating artificial intelligence directly into portfolio management workflows. The feature, called Agents, enables investors to define strategies using natural language prompts. Instead of placing individual trades manually, users can set conditions and allow the system to execute actions based on predefined logic. From Manual Trading to Intent-Based Execution The introduction of AI Agents represents a shift in how retail investors interact with markets. Traditionally, trading required active monitoring and manual order entry, whether through desktop platforms or mobile applications. The new model replaces these actions with automated execution based on user-defined rules. Investors can specify conditions related to price movements, timing, or account balances. Once activated, the system monitors market conditions in real time and executes trades when those conditions are met. The process aims to reduce the need for continuous user intervention. Jannick Malling, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Public, commented, “Every investor has ideas and strategies in their heads, but executing them used to require being glued to a screen all day, waiting for the right moment to act. Agents not only automate strategies for retail investors; they help translate their intent into action.” How the AI Agent System Works The system allows users to define workflows that cover trading strategies, cash management, and risk controls. Before activation, the AI prompts users with follow-up questions to refine the logic of the strategy. This step is designed to ensure that conditions and triggers are clearly defined. Examples of use cases include generating income through options strategies, reacting to intraday market movements, or reallocating excess cash into investment portfolios. Once the workflow is finalized, the agent operates continuously within the brokerage account. Users retain control over the process. They can review activity logs, track executed trades, and modify or stop agents at any time. The system operates within the platform’s infrastructure, without external access to other services or accounts. Why Brokerages Are Moving Toward Automation The integration of AI into trading platforms reflects broader changes in retail investing. As strategies become more complex, manual execution becomes less practical for many users. Automation allows investors to implement predefined rules without constant monitoring. This trend also aligns with developments in algorithmic trading, which has long been used by institutional participants. By introducing simplified versions of these tools, brokerages are extending similar capabilities to retail users. At the same time, competition among platforms has increased. Features such as automation, analytics, and integrated tools are becoming key differentiators. The introduction of AI Agents allows Public to position itself within this evolving landscape. Risks and Practical Limitations While automation can improve efficiency, it introduces new risks. Incorrectly defined conditions may lead to unintended trades, particularly in volatile market environments. Users must ensure that their strategies account for different scenarios, including rapid price changes. The reliance on automated systems also reduces direct oversight. Although users can monitor activity and intervene, the system operates continuously once activated. This requires a level of trust in both the underlying infrastructure and the defined strategy. Transparency features, such as detailed logs and activity tracking, aim to address these concerns. By providing visibility into each action taken, the platform allows users to review and adjust their strategies over time. Positioning in the Retail Trading Market Public has positioned itself as an “agentic brokerage,” emphasizing the role of AI in portfolio management. The company introduced earlier AI features in 2023 and has now expanded its offering with more advanced automation capabilities. The broader market includes platforms that offer algorithmic tools, but most require technical knowledge or coding. By allowing users to define strategies through natural language, Public lowers the barrier to entry for automation. However, adoption will depend on user understanding. Simplifying access does not eliminate the complexity of trading strategies. Investors still need to define clear rules and manage risk effectively. The rollout is initially limited to select users, with broader access expected over time. As adoption increases, the feature may influence how retail investors approach portfolio management and execution. Takeaway AI-driven automation is moving into retail brokerage platforms, allowing investors to execute strategies without constant monitoring. The benefit lies in efficiency, but outcomes depend on how well users define and manage their automated rules.

EUROPEAN SESSION In the European session, we don't have much on the agenda other than the final Manufacturing PMIs for the major Eurozone economies and the UK. The data isn't going to change anything at this point, so the market reaction will likely be muted. We are currently in a risk-on sentiment triggered by US-Iran deal optimism after Trump suggested yesterday in a Truth Social post that he would be open to end the war with Iran without the Strait of Hormuz opening condition. The mood then improved further when the Iranian President said that they are ready to end the war but want guarantees. Finally, in the APAC session, Trump said that Iran doesn't even have to make a deal with the US for him to end the war as the US would leave as soon as it meets all the objectives. AMERICAN SESSIONIn the American session, we have the US ADP, the US Retail Sales and the US ISM Manufacturing PMI. The ADP is expected at 40K vs 63K prior. I don't expect the market to care much about the data now that the focus switched to a potential deal. In fact, if we do get a deal, we might still get some weak data for a couple of months but conditions will then start to improve. If the US-Iran war escalates, on the other hand, the weak data will just exacerbate growth fears.The US Retail Sales M/M is expected at 0.5% vs -0.2% prior, while the Ex-Autos M/M measure is seen at 0.3% vs 0.0% prior, The more important Retail Control M/M figure is expected at 0.3% vs 0.3%. Retail Sales is generally a market-moving report but the reaction are almost always faded because it's a volatile data set. Moreover, note that this is February data, so it's old news now and the market will just ignore it.The US ISM Manufacturing PMI is expected at 52.5 vs. 52.4 prior. The S&P Global US Flash PMIs signalled an unwelcome combination of slower growth and rising inflation following the outbreak of war in the Middle East, according to the agency. The Flash Manufacturing PMI wasn't impacted as much as the Services PMI though. We can expect to see a weaker ISM employment index and a very strong prices index.Lastly, we have Trump addressing the nation at 21:00 ET/01:00 GMT giving an "important" update on Iran. The only thing that scares me a little here is that it's going to be after market hours. He usually delivers good news during market hours.CENTRAL BANK SPEAKERS10:30 GMT/06:30 ET - ECB's Cipollone (neutral - voter)13:05 GMT/09:05 ET - Fed's Musalem (hawkish - non voter)13:10 GMT/09:10 ET - Fed's Barr (neutral - voter) This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.

IG Group (LSE: IGG) has begun the first tranche of a new £125 million share buyback program, with Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc appointed to execute purchases under pre-set parameters, the company disclosed in today’s (Wednesday) regulatory filing.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!)The program, first announced alongside a positive first-quarter revenue update on 19 March, is divided into two tranches of up to £62.5 million each. The first tranche runs from Wednesday and is expected to close by 30 September 2026. IG Group said a separate announcement will be made ahead of the second tranche, subject to share price performance and other capital demands.Treasury Shares and AGM LimitsWednesday's launch extends a string of capital return programs the company has run in recent years. IG's previous initiative, a £200 million buyback assembled in two stages, included a £75 million extension announced in December 2025, bringing that program to its final tranche before completion.[#highlighted-links#] The company had flagged plans for the current £125 million initiative in its full-year fiscal 2025 results, published in July 2025, when the board said it intended to launch the repurchase during the current financial year's first half.All purchased shares will move into treasury, and IG Group stated the program's sole purpose is to reduce share capital. The buyback runs within the authority approved at the company's annual general meeting on 17 September 2025, under which a maximum of 36,155,787 shares remain available for repurchase.Barron Takes the ChairThe buyback launch coincided with a governance transition at the top of the company. Andrew Barron formally assumed the position of Board Chairman and Chairman of the Nomination Committee on Wednesday, after the Financial Conduct Authority granted its approval of the appointment, IG Group said in a separate filing dated 31 March.Barron was first named as Chair Designate and Non-Executive Director in early March, with the FCA's sign-off remaining the final step before he could formally take over. Mike McTighe, who has chaired IG Group's board through a period of active capital returns and restructuring, stepped down from both the chair and the board entirely as of Wednesday.Barron's arrival comes at a moment when the company is weighing bigger structural decisions. A report published in March indicated that IG Group is reviewing a possible shift of its primary listing from London to New York, as it looks to deepen its presence in the US market, where its tastytrade brand operates.

However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match. SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for April 1, 2026 The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

OCBC will offer lower bonus interest on its 360 Account from 1 May, as Singapore banks continue to reprice savings products in a softer rate environment. The change was reported by Channel News Asia after the bank notified customers that the maximum effective rate on the first S$100,000 in the account will fall to 4.45 percent a year from 5.45 percent. Customers will still need to meet the same broad conditions to earn the top rate. These include crediting a monthly salary of at least S$1,800, increasing their account balance by at least S$500 a month, spending at least S$500 on selected OCBC credit cards, and buying eligible insurance and investment products from the bank. OCBC’s updated notice says the qualifying criteria for the bonus interest categories remain unchanged even as the rates are revised lower. The latest revision follows two earlier cuts to the 360 Account that took effect on 1 May and 1 August last year. The revised OCBC table shows lower bonus interest across the salary, save and spend categories, while the bank continues to offer insure and invest bonuses under the same structure.     Featured image: Edited by Fintech News Singapore, based on image by wavebreakmedia_micro via Freepik The post OCBC to Lower 360 Account Bonus Interest to 4.45 Percent appeared first on Fintech Singapore.

While most of the market watches Fear 11 and waits for permission to move, Keyrock closed a $1.1 billion Series C and infrastructure money keeps positioning in the background. The next crypto to explode in every cycle was never the coin the crowd expected, it was the one that built the product while nobody was looking.  This articles breaks down the case, and guide investors to make the right investment, large caps like Ethereum, Sui or maybe the emerging presale going viral right now. Next Crypto to Explode Draws Attention as Keyrock Hits $1.1 Billion and Q1 Closes at Fear 11 Crypto investment firm Keyrock reached a $1.1 billion valuation in its Series C led by SC Ventures, with the new capital funding expansion and acquisitions even as the broader market sits at its lowest point of the year (CoinDesk).  Q1 2026 closes with the Fear and Greed Index at 11, BTC at $67,000, and ETH at $2,060 after the largest quarterly options expiry cleared $14.16 billion and triggered $451 million in forced selling (Blockchain Magazine). The infrastructure money moves in while the retail money moves out. Which Token Has the Setup to Lead the Recovery Pepeto Beyond the presale numbers, the approaching Binance listing is already the reason analysts project 500x from the current entry and call Pepeto the next crypto to explode this cycle. Most presale tokens that appear during fear are either unfinished promises or marketing exercises with nothing running behind them. Pepeto breaks that pattern completely because the exchange works right now, the risk scorer checks contracts and tells you what is dangerous before your money gets close, and the tools have been live since before the first wallet entered the presale. Using the platform, you spot contract problems before you commit, trade across chains through PepetoSwap at zero fees so nothing eats your position, and the cross chain bridge delivers tokens between networks at zero cost. During volatile weeks like this one, these tools keep your capital safe from the dangers that wipe out positions elsewhere. This exchange was not built by anonymous developers. The mind behind the original Pepe coin that reached $11 billion partnered with a former Binance expert to design every part of the platform, and SolidProof completed the full audit before the presale opened. That utility is not temporary, it is already running at $0.000000186 and adoption grows every round. The Binance listing is where presale positions become exchange positions, and the next crypto to explode is the one where that transition happens with a verified product behind it. Staking at 191% APY compounds what you hold while the debut approaches, and $8 million committed during Fear 11 proves the wallets inside made their decision while the market made excuses. Analysts project 500x from this entry, and the window closes permanently when trading begins. Ethereum (ETH) ETH trades at $2,060 after recording its seventh straight week of ETF outflows totaling $222 million last week alone (CoinMarketCap).  A recovery to $4,000 delivers a 2x that takes the rest of 2026 to arrive, and from a $250 billion market cap the math cannot deliver what a presale with a confirmed listing finishes in a single event. SUI SUI sits at $0.86, climbing 7% through March but still facing the psychological $1 resistance that analysts say requires fresh volume to break (24/7 Wall St.).  Even a push to $1.50 rewards patience with a return that the next crypto to explode delivers from a single listing day. Next Crypto to Explode Is Not a Prediction, It Is a Decision You Make While the Entry Is Open While ETH rebuilds and SUI targets $1, the Keyrock billion dollar raise proves institutional money is building for the recovery. Not entering Pepeto now is an active choice that results in chasing the same project at a higher price from the wallets that moved.  The same regret Pepe and DOGE late discoverers carried is forming, Pepeto shows the exact signals as Pepe coin and Doge before making their early holders millionaires, and the difference was never intelligence, it was who moved while the entry was open versus who planned to come back tomorrow. The Pepeto official website is where the next crypto to explode still carries the presale price, and the listing turns waiting into paying more. Click To Visit Pepeto Website To Enter The Presale FAQs What is the next crypto to explode in 2026? The next crypto to explode is Pepeto, with a working exchange, SolidProof audit, original Pepe cofounder, and a Binance listing analysts project at 500x. Can ETH reach $5,000 this year? ETH needs to recover 145% from $2,060 to reach $5,000, which takes years, while the Pepeto official website offers a presale entry that a single listing day turns into faster returns. How high can Pepeto go after the Binance listing? Analysts project 500x from the current presale price, and $8 million committed while Fear read 11 confirms the conviction behind the next crypto to explode.
