Gift card adoption in sectors such as travel and restaurants sector is expected to increase as companies leverage discounted gift cards to attract consumers.Interestingly, adoption of digital gift cards and digital channel recorded strong growth in 2020, with Canadian customers reflecting a fundamental shift in behaviour. This trend is expected to continue over the short to medium term.Moreover, technology is also transforming the way people use gift cards in Canada. In particular, millennials are increasingly purchasing digital gift cards (such as Starbucks) and loading them onto the corresponding retailer app. Increasing number of Canadians are showing a preference for mobile apps that allow for reloading gift cards on their devices compared to carrying around traditional plastic gift cards.The gift card market in Canada is seeing entrance of international players. Miconex, a Scottish based FinTech firm announced plans expand its footprint to offer gift card programmes in Canada, the US and Ireland, in October 2020.

  • Turkish olive farmer battles to save her land from coal mine

    Behind Tayyibe Demirel's olive groves in southwest Turkey lies a vast, grey expanse, stripped bare by a coal mine eating into the rolling hillside. Determined to save her land and village, Demirel, a 64-year-old grandmother, has singlehandedly taken on the operators extending the mine to feed what is one of Turkey's largest power plants. Last month, she won a court case against the expansion of the mine towards her village and, armed with information she herself uncovered from an earlier court ruling that said olive groves must be protected, she also won the appeal at the higher court.

  • Tech Leads Losses in U.S. Futures; Dollar Gains: Markets Wrap

    (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stock futures dropped as rising Treasury yields brought renewed pressure to equities with lofty valuations. Contracts on the Nasdaq 100 fell 2% in early trading and S&P 500 futures were lower, tracking losses in Asia. Ten-year Treasury yields topped 1.6%, sparking a rally in European financial shares. The dollar strengthened against all its major peers. Brent crude traded near $70 a barrel after Saudi Arabia said the world’s largest crude terminal was attacked on Sunday by a drone from the sea. The missiles were intercepted and oil output appeared to be unaffected.“You will see a lot of volatility in markets,” Kim Stafford, Asia Pacific head at Pacific Investment Management Co., said on Bloomberg Television. “We believe that confidence is improving, especially with vaccines coming online, so we will see an uptick in growth globally. There are a lot of reasons to be confident in the market, but a lot of this is also priced in.”Global markets have become preoccupied by the risks associated with rising Treasury yields and fears that government stimulus programs could overheat economic growth. Higher yields also raise questions about whether equity valuations have become excessive, especially in speculative tech shares. The Nasdaq 100 Index has fallen almost 10% since early February.Meanwhile, China’s main stock benchmark entered a correction on Monday on concerns about liquidity conditions and lofty valuations in some of the recently favored stocks. The CSI 300 Index fell 3.5%, piercing through its 100-day moving average and putting losses from its recent February 10 peak to 13%. Here are some key events to watch:The annual session of China’s National People’s Congress continues in Beijing.Japan GDP is due Tuesday.EIA crude oil inventory report is due WednesdayThe U.S. February consumer price index will offer the latest look at price pressures Wednesday.The European Central Bank holds its monetary policy meeting and President Christine Lagarde is set to do a briefing Thursday.These are some of the main moves in markets:StocksFutures on the S&P 500 Index declined 1% as of 9:33 a.m. London time.The Stoxx Europe 600 Index increased 0.4%.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 1.2%.The MSCI Emerging Market Index decreased 1.6%.CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index jumped 0.5% to 1,151.68.The euro fell 0.4% to $1.1868.The British pound dipped 0.2% to $1.3816.The Japanese yen weakened 0.3% to 108.59 per dollar.BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries climbed four basis points to 1.60%.The yield on two-year Treasuries gained one basis point to 0.15%.Germany’s 10-year yield rose one basis point to -0.29%.Britain’s 10-year yield increased one basis point to 0.762%.CommoditiesWest Texas Intermediate crude added 0.1% to $66.32 a barrel.Gold weakened 0.6% to $1,690.17 an ounce.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
