Winner Announcement

In an exciting early announcement, the winner of our latest charts competition at FT Alphaville has been revealed! As we prepare for a mass exodus to the United States, with nearly half of our team on the way and the others already unavailable, we wanted to share the results before the weekend.

We apologize to those who were still eager to make their guesses, but don't fret! Barring any unexpected travel mishaps, we’ll be back with a new quiz on Friday, alongside a recap of our recent pub quiz extravaganza.

Quiz Theme and Insights

This week, participants quickly realized that the overarching theme of our chart quiz was centered around “Trump trades.” The correct elements of the quiz included:

- The share price of Trump Media and Technology Corp, which has been under significant scrutiny and speculation.

- Many participants mistakenly guessed Morgan Stanley, but the chart actually reflected the performance of the KBW Banks Index, which has seen fluctuations amid ongoing political dynamics. It's fascinating to see how seemingly political actions can affect the financial status of U.S. banks!

- The dollar index, potentially crucial for Trump’s economic strategies, was also a key highlight in the quiz.

Community Engagement

The ripple effects of the week’s events have obviously left a lasting impression, as we received a record number of correct guesses from fans and participants, including Matthew Dawson, James Ritossa, Ben O'Dwyer, and many more, highlighting a community keenly engaged in market movements.

Congratulations to the Winner!

And the coveted title goes to… *drum roll please*... the consistent quiz participant, James Memon, who finally snagged the win this time! This is Memon's first triumph in our chart quizzes - congratulations are in order!

Looking Ahead

With the rising number of correct answers, it seems we need to amp up the challenge for our upcoming quiz on Friday. Stay tuned for what promises to be a more difficult and thrilling trivia experience! Will you be our next champion? Keep your eyes peeled, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
