Last week, we asked you where you might’ve recently seen this painting:
It’s a detail from Madonna della Candeletta by Carlo Crivelli. Last we checked, the original was in Milan’s Brera Art Gallery, so the one circled here is probably not the original:
The above image is taken from “Michael Saylor’s $40bn bitcoin bet”, a slick FT film about you-know-who and you-know-what. Saylor is a prolific user of generative AI image makers, so it was a surprise to us that his taste in art tilts International Gothic — and, it seems, to you. Zero correct answers.
For the chart-quiz element of last week’s chart quiz, we pitched down the difficulty with predictable results. Here’s what 24 of you said:
Petrofac shares. Currently suspended. No extra points for remembering we’ve used it before.
Hong Kong dollars to US dollars.
Platinum. We used the LME afternoon auction fix, but you didn’t need to say that.
Is it weird that the platinum price has been stable for about a decade when the second-biggest producer is Russia and the biggest end market is ICE vehicles? Metalheads are invited to tell us via the comment box what’s going on.
Anyway. Lots of names for the wheel, which stopped on . . .
. . . first-time winner Vich Gosonvich. Congratulations to him.
To everyone else, please be aware that Robin’s the chart setter this week, so expect an equal and opposite reaction with regards to the difficulty level. See you back here on Friday.
