No concerns over Mercedes’ strategies despite radio messages – Hamilton · RaceFans
Lewis Hamilton says that his radio messages appearing to question Mercedes’ strategy calls just show his desire to succeed. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Formula 1’s world television feed has played multiple radio messages from Hamilton this season suggesting he was unhappy with certain strategy calls made by the team after he fell behind team mate George Russell during races.

Watch for good local recovery plays
Thai shares swung sharply in the past week within a range of 1,590 and 1,620 points, tracking a similar pattern in global equities. Volatility was fuelled by macroeconomic factors following the recent US Federal Reserve meeting and diverse interpretations of future Fed policy by market participants. Meanwhile, other global risk assets such as bitcoin and gold also nosedived. In the short run, we expect the supports at 1,530 and 1,550 to limit near-term downside for Thai shares. If the SET Index drops to those levels without material fundamental change, it could be the end of the down cycle for this year. We expect the market to move sideways in June and possibly rebound to test the initial resistance level at 1,650 to 1,660, and then at 1,680 to 1,700. We base this on the belief that negative news flows have largely been factored in, and investors have already trimmed their portfolios and squared most derivative positions since the SET started descending steadily from over 1,700 … [Read more...] about Watch for good local recovery plays
